Another Day, Another Bay Shot *BIF

Timmeh was magnificent yet again. If the Sox weren’t facing the reigning Cy-Young winner, I’m sure everybody would be talking about Wake’s third consecutive start of at least 7 innings, where he allowed no more than a two runs. But since both starters put up goose eggs through the seventh, we get to focus on Jason Bay instead.

On Friday, Bay destroys a 92mph cutter from Mariano Rivera with two down in the 9th. So what does he do for an encore? He makes a 99mph Kerry Wood fastball look like a 3-0 67mph one from Timmeh and deposits it into the left-center field stands with one out in the 9th. Kim tried to nickname Bay “Mogli.” Due to the fact that it needed seven degrees of separation to make sense, it never stuck. But since he seems to be making a habit of killing the pitchers who only come out late at night, I present a new nickname for him: the Vampire Killer. Also it only seems appropriate that his first victim would be the Fruitbat.
