Sox won last night against the Jays 3-2 but the way Papps finished the game leaves a bad taste in the mouth. :bleh: What a useless stat a save is, to think he got credit for one by in his one inning of pitching allowing 4 hits, a walk, 2 runs and would have been worse if the tying run hadn't got thrown out at the plate, nice job. :twisted:
Sox squeeze by the Jays again tonight 6-4, :sweat: Pap did better tonight, in his one inning only gave up a hit, hit a batter and allowed a run, another solid effort. :usuck: Ellsbury though continues his strong season with 3 hits and 3 RBIs, what makes him and a few other leadoff men so good is that they're not just singles hitters, Reyes and Rollins come to mind, he's up to 10 HRs and 25 doubles now. :applaud: On a down note Lester got put on the DL today, hope Lackey doesn't have a twin brother who's dying to pitch. :beaten:
Sox had the long ball working tonight as they pound the O's 10-4. :victory: Six 4-baggers they hit tonight, surprised they didn't score more, gotta keep the offense in gear with the rotation in shambles right now, except for Beckett that is. Yanks :twisted: lose tonight as the Sox move into a tie with them, first time they've caught them in a long time.
Sox made quick work of the O's tonight by outting up an 8 spot(!) in the first inning in rolling to a 10-3 victory. :victory: Beckett gets the win, not a solid effort but it makes up for all the good ones he's had and come away with nothing.
Jays win tonight, only bring it up after what happened last night which was a tough way to lose. Leading 4-0 going into the 9th against the Indians who loaded the bases and made it 4-1, then Hafner hit a GS to win it for the Tribe, those are tough ways to lose. :shamefulcry:
Dodger bullpen on the verge of blowing another great pitching performance by one of their starters.... :shakehead:
EDIT: New twist: the bullpen doesn't blow it this time, despite giving up a double and hitting two batters in succession to load the bases with no one out. :shocked:
Sox have the O's figured out though by topping them tonight 4-0. :victory: Big games for Youk and Ellsbury, who fell a HR short of hitting for the cycle. Lackey pitched well, he does against the dregs of the league, they need to learn not to pitch him against teams that are in the least way competitive. :beatyou:
Sox go into the break on a high by polishing off the O's in a 4 game sweep by winning 8-6, :victory: came back after being down 6-2, now also have the best record in the AL. :woot: Second day in a row Ellsbury and Youk had big games, top of the order has been on fire, hopefully with Crawford coming back next week the bottom can start to get their act together.
They've had 4 players who have been with them but didn't get their 3,000th hit when a member of the team. Due to different circumstances they would have had more, Gehrig was close but we all know what happened there, DiMaggio missed some prime years due to the war and Ruth spent too much time early in his career as a pitcher but with the amount of walks he got no one will come close to beating his times on base record.

That's okay, long as you can get the BoSox games you'll be okay. :mrgreen:
