riverside sluggers

i was seeing matt clement throwing same pitches and he ended up throwing a lot of called "balls", so the strike zone isnt the same for all umpires

Wang's next start, game 1 at Fenway Park...

edgar almost had his 2nd homerun of the season but still was helped by the booted catch and able to f***ing leg it out to a triple

damon's two run 10th homerun of the season!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

fie run lead is back--i am happy to say the low scoring offensive games are starting to diminish since last week

alright trot starting to get hot now!! tek able to drive in him in 6-2

good to see wells follow bronson and settle down after his 1st inning woes

cmon manny, bases loaded

damn it gibbons stole a 3 run shot from rent !!!

didnt take much, maine is gone after just 3.1 innings

f*** yea wells, f*** yea!! web gem worthy double play he started right there

sox pitchers have been getting same attention from umps in this orioles series. basically what happens each seasoin, the umps mostly dont want to give the hot teams an easy go

ah wow haha i just realized the yankees game is being shown on espn as well--damn it, sox game, yanks game, football games happening all at same time

niice way to end the inning wells with a K his 100th strikeout of 2005---Once Bronson does so, that will make 4 Sox starting pitchers who have 100 or more strikeouts each, as well as an average of 14 wins not too shabby considering they had to do without schil, and wells who was out for a month

hinske likes that sinker, hopefully he and ther other jays can be looking for wang to make that same pitch again

flyballs still mean they are getting contact off of him, damon had to run to his left to make the catch for the last out--wells needs to settle it down

all 3 outs were made on deep flyballs--id rather take clement's sketchy command yesterday over this

even though the flyball was an easy one for damon to catch, orioles are still getting good contact--in any other ball park that wouldve been s 3rd straight homerun

hey wells, note sarcasm :thumbsup:
