Johnson has an 11 pitch inning with 2 Ks for his first inning? Like Remy noticed, he's working on a much faster pace than his Clement-esque motion he had before
pathetic starting pitchers, do you have a career ERA above 5? Well dont you worry because a simple pick me-up is to face the Red Sox who have struggled against such pitchers this season
Lets cut this close game s*** (especially against sub .500 teams), offense let it all out and roast the Tampa Bay pitchers. God last game the Sox won by more than 1 run was on July 25.
Yeah because the NY Post is a valid argument of why a Yankee should be picked over a Red Sox as the MVP
I just find it funny how he says "oh well Jeter wins a lot of games". Apparently he doesnt understands how Ortiz's 39 HRs/108 RBIs (tops in majors), 5 game winning hits, 29 go-ahead RBIs is not at all common
And its quite preposterous you are saying he'll cool off. His first 3 seasons with the Red Sox has seen him do power surges in the 2nd half. Yes a big part will play with the voters of how he was robbed of the MVP last year. I remember most voters saying "oh well this was just a career year for him, how could he get better?" What he is doing as DH is like none other.
It didnt help any last night with Hansen's struggles continuing of allowing a plethora of baserunners
EDIT: Wells did show a more encouraging outing just wasnt helped by early run support (yes Fossum is the new Kazmir/Rodrigo Lopez/Ted Lilly for the Red Sox), Ortiz's error at 1st base led to 4 unearned runs, Javy somehow didnt getting Greg Norton. Just a lot of bad luck
Ugh but Jason Johnson staying with Boston is nerve-wrevcking to say the least. Please come back Wake , Jason Johnson is so far scheduled to pitch the first game against the Yankees. The game I have good tickets for
Pedroia up sooner than expected?
NESN
Tonight the Paw Sox are starting Dustin Pedroia at 3rd base, Gordon Edes indicated it could be insurance in case Mike Lowell goes down on the DL.
It can happen to the best offenses
case in point: Mark Redman at Fenway Park held the Sox to 1 run in 8 innings
EDIT: In other news, Toronto is losing AGAIN. They should be 10.5 back by the end of the night

Chad Spann yesterday was placed on the DL, I'll try & check for what reason
EDIT: updated stats up until he was placed on DL
.294 avg, .371 obp, 28 Doubles, 3 Triples, 10 HRs, 50 RBIs, 53 Runs, 29 Walks, 3 SBs
Well theres also the fact that he knowingly cheated to achieve the single season record for HRs and now is trying to top Hank Aaron for most ever
Its just like OJ, everyone knows he did it but he is able to slip through the cracks somehow
Barry Bonds is on a much higher level than those 2. At least Giambi out right admitted to it that he's been juicing
Yankee fans might love Giambi & Sheff, but I havent seem them pull a fit like this if one of them was tossed out of the game at Yankee Stadium.
Giants fans are pathetic to care so much about this jerk
EDIT: Also when a player/manager is tossed from the game, arent they supposed to go exit the dugout?
