Sox are on fire! They're back to .500 and only 4 out of the wild card. Watch out, they're on their way, baby!

(Didn't I make this same post about 3 weeks ago? Eeesh )

Just wait until Josh Beckett, Jacoby Ellsbury, Carl Crawford, Andrew Bailey, Chris Carpenter, Aaron Cook, and Rich Hill come off the disabled list. Then the Red Sox will actually be fielding a team that includes players that are old enough to shave, can hold a driver's license, can vote, and can legally drink adult beverages (but not with Popeye's chicken, and not in the clubhouse).

Sox are still above .500, so we got that going for us.

Interesting trivia today. . . On this date in 1917, Babe Ruth was the starting pitcher for Boston against the Washington Senators. He walked the first batter of the game. Ruth argued that the the final pitch had been a strike and was ejected from the game. Reliever Ernie Shore replaced Ruth and retired the next consecutive 26 batters. The only base runner (the recipient of Ruth's walk) was thrown out trying to steal second. Shore essentially pitched a perfect game, but doesn't get credit for it, because he wasn't the starting pitcher.

It's better than talking about Bucky F***ing Dent, or Aaron F***ing Boone, but it still feels weird talking about Babe Ruth without adding an epithet to his name.

Bye-bye, Youk. Understandable, but sad. It was a great run.

I blame Bobby Valentine. He should have never said this aloud. He could have thought it, he could have said it to Youkilis behind closed doors, but he never should have said it to reporters. I believe that if Valentine had never said this, Youkilis would have been traded under very different circumstances, and his leaving would have been much more amicable.

Red Sox up to 3rd place! Yankees lose two starting pitchers in one day. The only bad news for the Sox is that John Lester says he's feeling great

And for the first EVER, the Dodgers get shut out in a series of 3 games or more. They lost 8-0, 2-0 and 3-0 (AT HOME!!!) to the Giants.

How's about Dees Nats?

Still hanging on to first place almost halfway through the season. Setting all kinds of team records......23 runs in two games (at colo ya know), they found another rookie who can really play (Tyler Moore), mlb record - lead off a game with rookies hitting B to B HR's on consecutive pitches (Lambardozi/Harper) and a pitching staff with four starters with a combined ERA's under 3.0, attendance at home and away is way up, and (drum roll please) they may have several legitimate All Stars - and MLB may not have to "choose there annual Nats rep." A fun yr and fun team so far!!

Got tix for several more games! Waitin on ya LCUBED!!

Who would've thunk it?

Who would've thunk it? At the All Star break, the Nats and the Pirates are in first place, and the O's and the Indians are in second. All have records north of .500.

Go Cardinals!
