Game 103: 7/23/08 @ Seattle, Buchholz vs. Hernandez

feeds@yuku.com (pat02155) — Wed, 23 Jul 2008 06:33:47 GMT

From redsox.com

Red Sox: The wiry right-hander was pounded for eight hits and eight runs -- four earned -- in his last start, a loss to the Angels. Buchholz lasted 4 2/3 innings. What set the tone was a 37-pitch first inning in which Buchholz gave up three runs. For whatever reason,...

McAdam: Wakefield, Dickey share a unique relationship

Nice article about Tim Wakefield and R. A. Dickey, the only two major leaguers who throw a knuckleball:

Game 102: 7/22/08 @ Seattle, Matsuzaka vs. Dickey

feeds@yuku.com (pat02155) — Tue, 22 Jul 2008 06:53:20 GMT

From redsox.com

Red Sox: Matsuzaka battled through six innings against Baltimore in his final start of the first half, throwing 115 pitches and walking five batters. But he also allowed no earned runs in that stretched and scattered four hits, proving once against that the...

I just don't get it...

Is it not the same game, played with the same equipment, whether you play at home or on the road? I know ballpark differences figure into the equation, but not to the tune of 11 games under .500 on the road. Good teams win half of their road games and 2/3 of their home games. We're not achieving at anywhere close to that level. That makes us not good....and I just don't get it.

Game 101: 7/21/08 @ Seattle, Lester vs. Washburn

feeds@yuku.com (pat02155) — Mon, 21 Jul 2008 07:38:47 GMT

From redsox.com

Red Sox: Lester was likely the most consistent Boston starter throughout the first half, and even though he was touched up for five runs in his last outing against Minnesota, the Sox have to be encouraged by what lay ahead for the young lefty. After a no-hitter in...

Game 100: 7/20/08 @ LA, Wakefield vs. Garland

6:00 game today folks, let's wrap up this series with the Angels with a big W

Red Sox: Wakefield allowed just two hits and one run in his start against the Orioles on July 12, pitching into the seventh inning for the ninth consecutive game. His knuckleball kept the Baltimore lineup guessing, and Wakefield did not allow a single baserunner in the final 13 batters he faced....

Game 98: 7/18/08 vs. Baltimore, Buchholz vs. Lackey

feeds@yuku.com (sbukoski) — Fri, 18 Jul 2008 16:36:51 GMT

The Sox look to start the unofficial second half off the way they ended the first half, on a winning note. The two best teams, record-wise, in the AL will square off starting tonight. GO SOX!!!

BOS: RHP Clay Buchholz (2-4, 5.70 ERA)
Buchholz returned to the Red Sox's rotation for the first time in two months on Friday, and it certainly wasn't the most pristine outing of his career. Buchholz lasted just five innings, allowing four runs and walking five....

Home Run Derby!

feeds@yuku.com (MyYaYa) — Mon, 14 Jul 2008 14:39:01 GMT

The annual Home Run Derby on the eve of the All Star Game is good entertainment. You get to see the players interact with their buddies, you get to see them interact with their kids, you get to see the kids chasing down the balls and you get to watch the "big kids" put on a multi-hitter batting practice display. I love it! Tune in to ESPN tonight at 8:00 for the fun. According to mlb.com:

"The Derby field is complete with the addition this weekend of Rays rookie...

Game 97: 7/13/08 vs. Baltimore, Matsuzaka vs. Cabrera

feeds@yuku.com (sbukoski) — Sun, 13 Jul 2008 09:09:34 GMT

Let's try to finish the first half out on a winning note...

Pitching matchup
BOS: RHP Daisuke Matsuzaka (9-1, 2.84 ERA)
Matsuzaka was excellent against the Twins on Monday, blanking Minnesota through 7 1/3 innings. He scattered six hits and struck out five in his first outing of at least seven innings since May 10 -- also against the Twins. He's allowed just one run in his last three outings since...

Game 96: 7/12/08 vs. Baltimore, Wakefield vs. Liz

Pitching matchup
BOS: RHP Tim Wakefield (5-6, 3.75 ERA)
Wakefield limited the Yankees to four hits on Sunday night. He gave up just three earned runs -- including a solo home run to Alex Rodriguez -- through 6 1/3 innings. The knuckleball proved effective for five...

Pay it Forward Book Swap

feeds@yuku.com (auntiepatti) — Sat, 12 Jul 2008 17:16:23 GMT

Let's see if this will take off. I had the idea, as I looked at 2 books I recently finished, that perhaps we could start a Pay it Forward Book Swap.
The way it will work is anyone who has a book they would like to pass on may post in this thread with the information and perhaps a link to a description of the book at Amazon or some other website.
The first person who posts that they would like the book would then "own" the book....

Lowrie Called up

feeds@yuku.com (auntiepatti) — Sat, 12 Jul 2008 15:04:12 GMT

Since Tito already seemed resigned that Julio Lugo's injury running out a grounder to1st last night was serious, this is no surprise.

Lowrie Called Up

The real discussion becomes if the Red Sox ride out the season with Lowrie/Cora if Lugo is done for some time.
