Superman! Big Papi saves the day again

With the ship sinking fast Big Papi David Ortiz continued the greatest season by a DH in the history of baseball, launching a solo home run to tie the Blue Jays at 4 in the 8th, then followed that up with the winning base hit in the 9th, to keep the Red Sox one game behind the Yankoffs going into this weekend's do-or-die series.

The Sox trailed by 3 in the 6th when Manny Ramirez crushed a ball to the opposite field for the 2 run home run. Ramirez has 432 homers, passing Cal Ripken for sole possession of 34th place.

The Yankoffs beat Baltimore 8-4 Friday night for their 15th win in 18 games, while the Indians beat Tampa Bay 6-0. The Red Sox are tied with the Indians for the Wild Card, meaning if both teams take 2 of 3 this weekend they will finish in a 3 way tie with the Yankoffs for the Wild Card. The Sox and Yankoffs would play a one game playoff for the East at the "Giant Bedpan" and the lose would face Cleveland for the WC.
