Another frustrating night at Fenway. The Sox took a 4-1 early lead, fell behind 7-4, tied it 7-7 in the 8th, and finally lost to the Yankees as the Empire scored a run in the top of the 9th against Keith Foulke. The only substantial good news was that Kevin Millar finally seems to be breaking out of his year-long slump, hitting three solo home runs tonight.

The inconsistency of this team is what kills me. One night they look like they can beat anyone, and the next they look like a bunch of Little Leaguers. They don't seem to play smart, aggressive baseball. They need to start doing it soon, or the season is going to run out on them.

Some good news from Pittsfield - there's going to be another Hillies game! September 4 - the Saturday of Labor Day weekend. The first one was such a great time I can't wait for this one.
