Manager Jeff Torborg is as superstitious as most baseballpeople. Wednesday night, he tried to change his luck by putting on anew pair of spikes. He also has had various people take the lineupcard to home plate. Says Torborg, "Ozzie (Guillen) took it out oneday and we got the crud kicked out of us. So that takes him out. Itook it out (Tuesday) night. That takes me out of it. I guess Terry(coach Bevington) has been the best. He had a three-game winningstreak." So Bevington got the call Wednesday. It has not only been a Boston "homecoming" for Matt Merullo and WaltHriniak, but for Billy Jo Robidoux as well. He grew up in Ware,Mass., an hour west of Boston. "We used to come (to Fenway Park)about twice a year," Robidoux said. "My hero was Yaz (CarlYastrzemski), just because of the way he played. He never gave up,always played if he was injured."
Roger Clemens' 11 strikeouts in the Red Sox' 11-0 victory Tuesdaynight was the 34th time he has struck out at least 10 batters but hisfirst since July 30 against Milwaukee. Services for Doris Himes, who died Tuesday, will be tomorrow inVallejo, Calif. The family requests memorial contributions to theAmerican Cancer Society.
