Mick, it has been well-documented that Baker left those guys out there for 135, 140, or even more pitches. That is what I am talking about. I think that he overworked them for his benefit. I have no idea what Minnesota did with Liriano.

Gee, say it isn't so, all you die-hard BoSox fans (you know who you are )........

http://www.boston.com/sports/basebal...6/bloody_mess/

The truth comes out. The famous Schilling bloody Sox sox was painted red for public relations reasons. Iow, the red sox wasn't actually a red sox.

If it's in GQ and on tv, it simply has to be true!

Tsk, tsk, tsk.......

Little kids are crying today all over New England.

I'm shocked that the Globe would even print allegations like that.

It ain't so.

Mirabelli adamantly denies ever making such a comment. The surgeon who performed the procedure on Schill says it was blood. Even Kevin Millar, who now plays for Balitimore, says it was blood. The curiator of the Baseball Hall of Fame, where the sock now resides, says that the stain has faded to a brownish color with some pink tints. That would happen with blood, but not with paint.

Nobody in New England is crying about this. The likeliest answer would seem to be that Mirabelli was kidding around with Thorne, and Thorne didn't get the joke. But Mirabelli denies ever saying anything about it to Thorne -- even as a joke -- and got visibly upset when addressing the media about it. So why would Thorne throw it out there? Wierd.

Aren't you supposed to repeat the word 'shocked' in posts like that?

If it's in the paper, it must be true.

In other MLB news, Barry Bonds' home run record chase became even more difficult today....

Yessir, the new MLB home run record is now 805, and counting.....

It's true, it's true......

Really rare feat
Good work by the Boston Globe to figure out, with the help of three mathematicians, the precise extent of the rarity that happened when the Red Sox hit four consecutive home runs Sunday.
Outfielder J.D. Drew hit the second of the four, just as he did last September for the Dodgers. To have any team hitting four consecutive home runs is rare enough, but to have the same player hit the second home run for both teams, well, just how rare is that?
One in 14.3 million was the answer.
But it happened.

Yeah, here he is now experimenting with new, advanced surgical techniques he's developing (I think he calls it "blue").

Why don't we ask him when he gets off the ladder comes out of the operating room?

Wonder how they came up with that number.

I would have said the probability is 100%, since it's never happened any other way.

Further investigation by your favorite besibol correspondent brings up the following article from a neutral writer back in 2004........

http://www.baltimoresun.com/sports/b...orts-headlines

Note that the BoSox Director of Public Information said at that there was a possibility that blood might have not been the only substance there. And Schilling himself was quoted as saying there might be a little bit of blood. Note the "might"!

We might be on to something here that warrants much further investigation.
