Sox lose a heartbreaker to the Jays in 10 innings 7-6. :puppydog: They came back and tied it to send it to extra innings but the 'pen couldn't hold them. Adrian continues his hot streak with 2 HRs and Ellsbury too with 3 hits but just wasn't enough, need to tune things up quickly as they're taking a trip to the Bronx this weekend. :twisted:

Yeah, I guess Rajai Davis had to go somewhere after the game when he stole two bases on two pitches. Plus, he was up to his usual tricks again tonight. :naughty:
Jays complete the two game sweep with a 9-3 win. :applaud:

^^ They're probably sorry to see the Sox leave :nut: ...biggest question the Sox have is how long can you leave Lackey in the rotation? Shelled for 9 runs tonight, now has an ERA of 8.00!!!! :usuck:
Dodgers shut out the Pirates, 2-0.
Dodgers put reliever Kuo on 15-day DL
PITTSBURGH (AP)\The Los Angeles Dodgers have placed reliever Hong-Chih Kuo on the 15-day disabled list due to an anxiety disorder.
Manager Don Mattingly said the veteran left-hander told him following a dismal performance against the Pittsburgh Pirates on Monday his confidence was shaken.
gHe couldnft put the ball where he needed to,h Mattingly said after a 2-0 win over the Pirates on Wednesday. gThatfs pretty much what he said. I listened to him, and I have so much respect for him, after all hefs been through. Itfs just one of those things.h
Kuo was expected to return to Los Angeles late Wednesday night. He will undergo a series of tests in the coming days.
The 29-year-old was an All-Star in 2010, but has struggled with his form this spring. Kuo has an 11.57 ERA in nine appearances and has struggled since missing more than two weeks in April because of a lower back strain. He gave up a run on two hits without retiring a batter in a 4-1 loss to the Pirates on Monday.
Mattingly anticipates Kuo will pitch again and credited him for his toughness. The setup manfs left elbow has been operated on four times during his seven-season major league career.
gItfs heartbreaking, but I just donft know where it goes from here,h Mattingly said. gAt this point, itfs a medical decision.h
The Dodgers recalled left-hander Scott Elbert, their 2004 first-round draft pick, from Triple-A Albuquerque on Wednesday to take the roster spot.
Los Angeles pitcher Hiroki Kuroda said he was gconcernedh about his teammate and acknowledged undergoing a crisis of confidence as a younger player.
gIfve been through something similar in the past like that in high school and in college,h Kuroda said. gI tried everything. I talked to a lot of people, but it really depends on the player. c At this point, we just have to play with what he have, and just pray that he comes back real soon.h

He only cost the Dodgers $47 M, Sox signed Lackey to a 5 year $82 M contract, that's 3 more years after this one!!!! :usuck: Hopefully soon he'll be the highest paid starter on the Pawtucket team. :beaten:

Terrible rate of return. :bleh:
Killebrew ends fight vs cancer, looks to hospice
By DAVE CAMPBELL, AP Sports Writer
MINNEAPOLIS – Hall of Famer Harmon Killebrew said Friday he will no longer fight his esophageal cancer and is settling in for the final days of his life.
The Minnesota Twins released a statement on Friday from Killebrew, who said he has "exhausted all options" for treatment of the "awful disease" and that the cancer is incurable.
"It is with profound sadness that I share with you that my continued battle with esophageal cancer is coming to an end," he said. "My illness has progressed beyond my doctors' expectation of cure."
The 74-year-old Killebrew said he will enter hospice care.
"I am comforted by the fact that I am surrounded by my family and friends," he said, thanking fans and well-wishers for their support and encouragement. "I look forward to spending my final days in comfort and peace with (wife) Nita by my side."
Killebrew, who lives in Arizona, was diagnosed with cancer in December.
Killebrew hit 573 home runs and made 11 All-Star appearances during his 22-year career spent mostly with the Washington Senators and Twins. He was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1984 and was fifth on the career home run list when he retired in 1975 after one season with the Kansas City Royals.
Killebrew currently ranks 11th on the all-time homer list, and his eight seasons with 40 or more homers still is tied for second in league history to Babe Ruth.

Dodgers eke out a win over the D'backs, 4-3.
Sox won game one of their series in the Bronx 5-4, solid 7 innings by Buchholz, best start of the year for him. :applaud: AG continues his torrid hitting by another HR, :victory: he'd probably hit 60 if he played in that park, bullpen though struggled again making the score closer than it should have been, for the season the ERA of the 'pen is approaching 5.00. :bleh:
Dodgers get shut out by the D'backs, 1-0.
^^ And what was uncommon about that is not many teams lose only giving up one hit. :nut:
Sox put a hurting on the Yanks :twisted: again last night winning 6-0, another strong outing by Beckett who lowers his ERA to 1.75. :applaud: Only one hit for AG but it was a big hit, 3-run HR which broke the game open, Lester goes tonight as they go for the sweep and try to pull within one game of the Yanks. :fingerscrossed:

What's up with him? :muack: Hmmmm, he noew pulls within 2 HRs of the team total of the Twins. :nut:
Dodgers lose to Arizona, 4-1. :(
Sox complete the sweep last night against the Yanks :twisted: in winning7-5. Not a great outing by Lester but got the win, things even off, had a couple great starts only to get a no decision. Yanks wised up and walked AG instead of pitching to him, Youk made them pay for that by blasting a key 3-run HR. :hehe:

An important sweep. Puts the team back in the race for first. It was nice to see the bats pick up when the pitching was not so good. It's a good thing all the teams in the division are struggling.
^^ Hopefully they can finish off their comeback tonight... and it's a shame the Yanks lost to the first place Rays after being up 5-1. :hehe:
Indians are beating up on the Royals 17-1 after 5 innings but the story is the pitching line for the Royals pitcher Mazzaro, 2 1/3 innings and....14 earned runs!!!! WOW!!!!
