08/04: A Bitter Loss Last Night Brings Us To The Devil
      (Rays) PRIOR GAME AGAINST OPPONENT: Red Sox 12, Devil Rays 5 on 7/6/06
DECISION: W: Tim Wakefield | L: James Sheilds
STAR OF THE GAME: David Ortiz – 4 AB, 2 R, 2 H, 6 RBI, 1 BB

GAME NOTES: Before, I would like this. Before, I would like to face the Tampa Bay Devil Rays. Now, however? Off a stinging defeat where we kept bombing home-runs to see them die at the warning track? Off a defeat solely at the hands of Josh Beckett and an all too predictable double play grounder by Ken Huckaby? Against a team that seems to give us fits lately? Let’s just hope we’re in the race by the time we leave Florida.
