Sox win again tonight behind the masterful pitching of Lester and top the Twins 6-2, :woot: 3rd win in a row for them, expect them to continue their up and down ways meaning they should be ready to lose the next 2 to the Phillies to drop back down to .500. :hehe: Rays keep rolling, top the Yanks :usuck: to sweep the 2 game series...how does it feel to be an Orioles fan, played 42 games and your team is already 17 games out of first. :banghead:

Kershaw pitches another fine game and the Dodgers get back on track, winning 4-1 over the Padres. :victory:
Sox hitters snoozed against Hamels and lose to the Phils in Philly 5-1. Another rough outing for Lackey, :beatyou: 3 in a row now for him, bullpen pitched well though just lack of offense doomed them. Better win tomorrow, on Sunday they face the ace Halladay. :bow:
Billingsley pitches a fine game and the Dodgers win in their first interleague game of the season against the Tigers, 4-1.
It was the Dodgers 100th interleague win... Against 113 loses. :beaten:
EDIT: Cardinal pitcher Brad Penny hits a grand slam against the Angels and the Cards win, 9-5. :rofl: :hehe:

Good job by Hisanori Takahashi of the Mets! Comes to spring training as a non-roster invitee and does a good enough job to stick as a long relief man. As a relief pitcher, he had a record of 3-1 so they decided to give him a start.
PItched 6 shutout innings against the Yankees!! :woot: But the Mets ended up losing 2-1. :beaten:

Yeah, he had a nice outing last night, :applaud: shame he got no decision, 0-0 when he left, if they're smart, which often they're not, :rofl: they'll keep in the rotation for a while.
The true Dice-K was on display tonight in Philly, :woot: taking a no-no into the eighth inning before allowing a hit, the only one he allowed as the Sox beat the defending NL champs 5-0. :victory: Walked 4 batters, but when you allow only one hit it's okay, hopefully this is the start of a nice streak for him, :fingerscrossed: one that he had 2 years ago when he went on to win 18 games. :applaud:
Troncoso and Broxton tried to blow the game for the Dodgers yet again, but they managed to beat the Tigers again, 6-4. :shakehead:
Sox make it 2 out of 3 against the Phils in winning 8-3. Roughed up Halladay fairly good but the star of the came was Wakefield, :applaud: had the knuckler working today in pitching 8 shutout innings. Now on to Tampa, early still in the season but it'd be nice to cut off a few games on their lead. :fingerscrossed:
Dodgers lose to the Tigers, 6-2. :(

What is the real Matsuzaka? He has been frustrating to watch ever since he got here. Some nights he pitches great, while others he can't find the strike zone. :sweat:
I hope the Sox realize this next series against Tampa is rather important.

Truly is an important series, 9 out right now, can't afford to fall too much back, gonna be tough catching them, Rays really have a solid team, :applaud: they also need to worry about the Yanks, 7 behind them coming into today. :sweat:
Guess the true Dice-K would be the Japanese stud that he was, :victory: you're right about his going up and down, for a few starts he looks like the second coming of Cy Young, then his next couple you think they should send him down to Pawtucket. :shamefulcry:
Now that's class...
NJ man admits to vomit assault at Phillies game
By JOANN LOVIGLIO, Associated Press Writer Joann
PHILADELPHIA – A 21-year-old New Jersey man pleaded guilty Tuesday to vomiting on another spectator and his 11-year-old daughter in the stands during a Philadelphia Phillies game.
Matthew Clemmens, of Cherry Hill, N.J., pleaded guilty to one count each of simple assault, disorderly conduct and harassment for his conduct during an April 14 Phillies-Nationals game at Citizens Bank Park.
Clemmens stuck his fingers down his throat and vomited on Michael Vangelo, an off-duty Easton police captain, and one of Vangelo's daughters after Clemmens' companion was ejected from the park, Assistant District Attorney Patrick Doyle said.
Clemmens and his friend were spilling beer, cursing and heckling Vangelo and his daughters from the time they arrived at their seats, according to a statement of facts read in court.
Vangelo's 15-year-old daughter asked the pair to stop the profanity, and Vangelo complained to security that Clemmens' friend was spitting, with some of it hitting his 11-year-old daughter, Doyle said.
After the friend was ejected, Clemmens was sitting alone behind the Vangelos when he answered his cell phone and said: "I need to do what I need to do. I'm going to get sick," the prosecutor said.
Clemmens then put his fingers down his throat and threw up on the father, with some vomit splashing onto Vangelo's younger daughter, Doyle said.
He then punched the father several times in the head before other fans in the stands subdued him, the prosecutor said. He screamed expletives at the crowd as he was led out of the park, Doyle said.
Clemmens' mug shot showed him with a swollen black eye, and authorities acknowledged he was hit as he was being subdued. No one else was charged in the case.
In exchange for Clemmens' guilty pleas, charges including reckless endangerment and corruption of minors were dropped.
Doyle said the Vangelos were satisfied with the case's resolution and plan to attend Clemmens' sentencing, which Family Court Judge Kevin Dougherty scheduled for July 30. Sentencing guidelines call for Clemmens to get probation, Doyle said.
Dressed in a navy suit and accompanied by his parents, the defendant appeared nervous as the charges against him were read. He did not address the judge beyond quietly replying "yes" as the description of events was read.
Public defender Richard Hark said his client has had no prior run-ins with the law and his behavior, which outraged fans in Philadelphia and beyond, was out of character.
"It's probable he consumed too much alcohol," Hark said, adding that Clemmens only turned 21 in March. "It's not a justification for his behavior, just an explanation."
Neither Clemmens nor his parents would comment as they left the courthouse.

And people wonder why the Philly fans are considered the lowest among all the sports cities, bet that happens often at Eagles games or at least some foolhardy alcoholic incidents. :usuck:
Big win again for the Sox, bested the Rays 2-0. Lester and the bullpen combined on a one-hitter. :applaud: Rays are a strange team, are almost unbeatable on the road yet their home record is only so-so. One more game in the series, Sox win and the lead is down to 5.5 games.

Second straight strong start for him and against a good team, wondering if the Mets are thinking why'd we wait so long to start him? :doh:
Sox rolled once again in Tampa tonight, sweeping the Rays by a score of 11-3, now only 5.5 back. :applaud: Another HR for Papi and that ex-Dodger Beltre had 2 of them do go along with 6 ribbies.
Dodgers defeat the Cubbies, 8-5.
Sox lose to Royals, 4-3. Daisuke being Daisuke :shakehead:

Yeah, who else could give up only 2 hits in 4+ innings yet throw over 100 pitches? :beaten: Dice-K can, especially when he walks 8 batters...and against the Royals! :doh:
Dodgers get shut out by the Cubbies again, 1-0. :(
