And they got pummeled again today, 14-3.

Speaking of pummeled, the Dodgers get routed by the Rockies 8-0. :shakehead:

Actually good have been worse, Yanks had 17 hits and 10 walks, :sweat: the only consistent starter as of late has been Lester, he goes tonight, early for a must win but it almost is one, already 7 games out. :shamefulcry:

Dodgers turn it around and shut out the Rockies this time, 2-0.

Congrats to Dallas Braden of the A's, 27 up, 27 down, perfect game against the Rays!! :applaud:

Congrats also, glad he did that, :victory: NY writers were really slamming him after that A-Rod incident. :usuck:

Sox finally won a game against the Yanks, 9-2, all 3 games were blowouts, :bleh: once again Lester came thru with a strong start, Lackey goes tomorrow against the surprsiing Jays, he's been fairly solid, just need the rest of the staff to help those 2 out. :sweat:

A-Rod incident?

Beanball?

Last month in a game in Oakland, A-Rod trotted across the mound when going back to first base after a foul ball which you're not supposed to do. One of those "unwritten rules". Harden got real upset about, screamed at hollered at A-Rod, etc.

Hmm, never knew about that... Sounds like a superstition thing, like stepping on the foul line when changing sides...

There's a bunch of 'unwritten rules' in baseball, A-Rod also did something like that a few years back when he yelled in a players face when he was trying to catch a pop-up, big no-no among players, :twisted: he's had his share of these kind of things over the years. :crazy:

Dodgers defeat the D-backs in Arizona, 7-3.

Sox win again, squeak past the Jays 7-6 though Lackey had a miserable start. Hopefully they'll be a bit more consistent, seems as though they win 4 in a row, then lose 4 in a row, etc. :grumble:

Dodgers pounding the D-backs 11-3 in the 8th. :victory:

Dice-K pitched great, 7 innings, 3 hits, 1 run, struck out 9. BoSox win 6-1.

I can start wearing my katakana Daisuke/BoSox t-shirt with pride again. :victory:

You have one too, glad I'm not the only one. :hehe: As long as he keeps his walk total down, he's tough to beat, now they need Beckett to step up and start earning some of that monster contract he just signed. :fingerscrossed:

Yup.

One of my favortite tees... My niece picked it up when she was in Boston a couple of years ago.

I sorta wish she bought me two. :beaten:

I've worn it proudly the last 2 years on my Hall of Fame visits, :victory: you go into any shop there and they have any kind of Dice-K shirt you would want. :applaud:

I tried looking for it in the BoSox and MLB web sites, but didn't see it. :sweat:

Wonder why unless they discontinued them or whether Cooperstown gets their own specialty shirts, name a player they have a shirt from them, could be the second thought, probably a good way to draw more visitors. If you ever go though, bring 2 credit cards, you'd end up breaking the bank with their prices. :twisted: Normally go the Hall of Fame game in July, I'll check then to see what they have. :mrgreen:

EDIT- Hope I can go this year, Triple-A team here has had a special trip to Cooperstown the last few years, don't see anything listed yet. :shamefulcry:
