Baseball (MLB, WBC, College, etc.)

Sox just steamrolled the Orioles tonight by a score of 11-0. :hehe: Great pitching tonight once again by Bucholz, went all the way, threw a 5-hitter for his 8th win. :victory:

Dodgers end the Braves nine-game winning streak, 5-4.

Braves starting pitcher Kenshin Kawakami is now 0-8.

0-8, ouch, :puppydog: had some tough luck losses but his ERA is around 5.00, seems as though he has that one tough inning which kills him and pitches so well the other innings. :muack:

Dodger bullpen implodes (yet again), turning a 2-0 lead over the Braves into a 7-2 deficit in the 7th inning. :shakehead: :shakehead: :shakehead:

Horrible. :grumble:

Sox beat Baltimore, 8-2. Slowly climbing up the standings. :victory:

Gonna be tight between the Soxm Yanks and Rays, doubt if the Jays can keep playing like they are. Pitching the 1st 2 games against the Orioles has been great, :victory: then again they're last in MLB as far as hitting goes. :beaten:

Nice effort by Lackey was wasted today as the Sox fall to the Orioles 4-3 in 10 innings, leaving them tied with the Jays 4 1/2 games out of first, now on to Cleveland where Dice-K takes the mound tomorrow.

Dodgers win in 11 over the Braves, 5-4.

Cardinals tomorrow at Dodger Stadium.

In one of his best starts as a Sox, :victory: Dice-K goes 8 shutout innings as the good guys :hehe: prevailed over the Indians by a 4-1 score. Showing much better control, has walked only 2 men in his last 14 innings, :applaud: now they need Pedroia to shake his slump, BA has dropped 50 points in the last 3 weeks. :sweat:

Dodgers pounding the Cardinals, 10-1, in the 5th. :victory:

EDIT: Dodgers win, 12-4. :)

Dodgers win a pitching duel over the Cards, 1-0. :victory:

And the Blue Crew takes over first place over the Padres in the West by a 1/2 game. :woot:

Dodgers win 4-3 and sweep the Cardinals. :woot:

Next up: The hated Angels at Dodger Stadium.

That was their 3rd 1-0 victory in the last 10 days. :mrgreen:
Sox lose last night to the Indians 11-0, score wasn't as lopsided as it looks. Bucholz pitched okay, 3 runs in 7 innings but the pen allowed 8 runs in the 8th inning. :usuck: Facing the Tribe again tonight to wrap up the 4 game series.

PS- Blackhawks won the Cup with a 4-3 victory in OT, :applaud: first cup for them in 49 years, now we can't put them in the same sentence as the Cubs. :doh:

Yeah, you're right. :victory:

Hmm, looks like the Dodgers of yore: great pitching and nonexistent hitting. :beaten:

Beginning of the year it was the complete opposite, seemed to be losing alot of games 10-7, now if they can ever put the 2 together. :bow:

They did in the 1950's. :beaten:

Pre-Koufax days at Ebbets field, :bow: been meaning to read the Boys of Summer, it's been collecting dust, guess I'll have to move that up on the list.

Jonathan Niese of the Mets shuts out the Padres 3-0. If he hadn't given up a lead off double to Chris Denorfia in the 3rd, we would have had ANOTHER perfect game!!

Yup, that would've made 3 26/27 so far this year. :hehe: :bonk:
Sox making a comeback, 2-run HR in the top of the 9th gives them a 7-6 lead over the Indians. :fingerscrossed:

EDIT- Couldn't hold on, :bleh: Indians loaded the bases with no outs, Bard got the next 2 outs, but a 2 run single dashed the hopes of the comeback victory. :shamefulcry:

Interleague play is back this weekend, Sox are home to the suddenly powerless Phils while the Dodgers and ( California, Anaheim, LA)Angels fight for the right to call themselves the king of LA. :naughty:
