Taking a Left, Going by the Fenway, By the Marshland Park: GameThread for Toronto Blue Jays at Boston Red Sox, 29 Sept 2009, 7:10 PM EDT

Well, the Jays look to continue their fine play of late when they send Ricky Romero to the hill tonight against the Red Sox and Clay Buchholz. Ricky's had some real control problems, since 29 August, he's started six games and walked 23 in just 34 2/3 innings. Against a team as patient as the Red Sox, it's going to be important for him to sort those issues out early.

Hopefully Lefty can figure out the Red Sox, who have batted .377 / .506 / .652 in 4 games so far, with 17 walks (and two hit batsmen) against just 20 strikeouts. In those four starts Ricky has managed to get through five innings just once (and didn't make it out of the sixth in that start). And hopefully our bats can figure out Buchholz, who has 3-0 against us with a 1.35 ERA over three starts and 20 innings (16 K, 6 BB).
