John Farrell gets what he deserves as he returns to T.O.
John Farrell returned to Toronto and he left as a complete ass as he said that he was "traded" when everyone knew he wanted to go to his "dream job" i.e. the Boston Red Soxs and then when he came back to the city today he got into Mike Wilner's face who is the third man in the radio booth for the Blue Jays and said that Wilner has asked for him to be booed and that is outrageous.
The fans themselves were respectful to Farrell until the ninth inning when Jeremy Jefferies came in out of the bullpen and served up a juicy fastball to Will Middlebrooks who lead-off the ninth inning was a solo jack to give the Red Soxs a 6-4 lead that they went onto win the game by. In the ninth inning a small group of fans in the left field corner started a "beep u Farrell chant" chant that was only time that things got non-pg which is an extremely good change as things like this just run games like this.
So when they said the magical words of "Here is the Boston Red Soxs starting lineup managed by" and the boos rained down very hard and then during the exchange of the lineup cards he came out got booed a couple of times. As the game started the crowd was not n'sync as part of the crowd did a "Farr-ell" chant while another part went with a "Ellsbury" chant while another part of the crowd went with a "let's go Blue Jays" chant. It was a vocal crowd but in the fourth when with one out Emilio Bonifacio on back to back ground balls by Shane Victorino and Jackie Bradley had throwing errors and it cost the Jays a run and in the fifth Mike Napoli with a Dustin Pedroia single on slammed a two-run homer to put the Soxs up 4-1 and the crowd was completely dead.
In the bottom the fifth Mark DeRosa lead-off the inning was a long drive that bounced off the top of the wall and went over and the crowd was jacked again with the "Farr-ell" chant and they finally got the waive going and it was a long time coming as fans were trying it early and often. The Jays put up another run in the inning as Jose Reyes went 4 of 5 and in the inning had a RBI triple and was stranded there as the tying run and the Red Soxs trailed 4-3 and then he tied the game with a solo jack in the 7TH inning to tie it at 4. When Adam Lind was still looking for his firsat hit with runners on first and second it was at a fear pitch and he flied out to Ellsbury and with people on their feet Maicer Izturis flied to him to end the eighth and things went down the drain and it sad to let Farrell get the leg up on the Jays.
45 thousand in the stands were awesome but the handful over that was the sick ones
