Despite a rally in Toronto, the Red Sox (2-2) held off the Blue Jays (2-2), winning 6-5 at the Jays' home debut. Catcher Jason Varitek and right fielder Trot Nixon both gathered solo home runs to help boost the Boston score. As a result of the week's activity, there's a five-way tie for first (at least to my uneducated viewing) in the AL East.

NB: The hated Yankees lost 12-5 to Baltimore yesterday, so that is a good thing. And yes, I'll probably go see Fever Pitch, assuming I can talk this girl I know into it. She's a Red Sox fan as well, so this could be a good thing. It'll have to be, in order for me to stomach a Drew Barrymore film. Whenever she shows up, I suppose the necessary countermeasure will be either taking an anti-nausea pill or taking a sip of something strong.
