Score: Boston 4, Chicago (A) 3

Terry Francona spun the wheel and hit the jackpot with Bartolome Fortunato, who got three outs in order. Why not Keith Foulke? Blame modern-day usage of the closer...or blame the weak bats at the bottom of our order. Fact was, those boys probably can't handle a 95+ mile an hour fastball...and because of that, we came up short.

But seeing a comeback, especially from a team that scored four runs in their first three games...that's as satisfying as an ice cream cone. So we didn't quite mount a big enough rally to get the 'W'. Who cares? There may not be any sugar in the ice cream, but it's cool and sweet and creamy. That's plenty good enough to satisfy my palate.

Then again, I don't put sugar in my iced tea, either.

CHW 3 BOS 4

WP: A. Martinez (1-0) - 7 IP, 8 H, 1 R, 3 BB, 3 K
LP: J. DePaula (0-1) - 6 IP, 6 H, 3 R, 2 ER, 2 BB, 3 K
S: K. Foulke (1) - perfect ninth

Too Bad Terry Francona Couldn't Win... Joe Roa, who followed up his brilliant seventh-inning performance that kept us in it with a perfect bottom of the eighth. He's good. Real good. Too bad we couldn't win, either.
