See you in August: After today the Sox will play 22 of their next 31 games on the road. They have only nine games at home over the next 39 days. Plenty of pop: The Sox are on a pace to score 898 runs. That's 26 more than last season and with a makeshift outfield on most nights. Meanwhile, Jason Bay has hit four homers for the Mets, one fewer than Bill Hall. NL = No Losses: The Sox are 9-2 in interleague games this season, outscoring the junior varsity 74-37. They have won 15 of 19 going back to last season and are 136-104 overall in interleague play. Dodgers, Clay. Clay, Dodgers: This will be the first time Clay Buchholz has faced the Dodgers. The only Dodger with any plate appearances against him is Garret Anderson, who is 5 of 9. Hiroki, Red Sox. Red Sox, Hiroki: Kuroda has never faced the Red Sox. The only three Sox with any experience against him are Beltre (1 for 3), Cameron (2 for 3) and Hall (1 for 1). Laser Show in the NL: Dustin Pedroia is 89 of 252 (.353) in interleague games.

Beltre has hit in nine straight at 14 of 36. At .337, he is fourth in the AL. Nava hot as lava: Man, that is lame. But the rookie is 9 of 25 since he got called up with six extra-base hits, seven RBIs and five runs scored in seven games. The Sox are 6-1 since he arrived. Have you seen this man? Mike Lowell has 12 at-bats this month and hasn't played since June 13. Clean it up: The Sox have committed five errors in the last two games. Power display: The Sox have homered in nine straight games. They have 93 on the season.

Yankees going Gaga during Subway Series Posted by Peter Abraham, Globe Staff June 20, 2010 03:05 PM As the Red Sox make their move, the Bronx is caught up in ... Lady Gaga? Yep. The Yankees have lost three of their last four and Alex Rodriguez is moving around like an old man on an icy sidewalk. But the big concern in the Bronx is Lady Gaga. The singer talked her way into the clubhouse on Friday night dressed in a bikini bottom and a half-buttoned Yankees jersey. She reportedly swilled whiskey, did some things we can't mention and met with several players including Robinson Cano. Owner Hal Steinbrenner was furious and ordered that celebrities not be allowed in the clubhouse after losses. Brian Cashman talked with reporters today and said the incident was taken care of. "There is a time for things like that and that wasn't it. After a loss is the wrong time," Cashman said.

The lack of negativity around here lately has been refreshing. I love this team and how they are playing. I'm cautiously optimistic. Still a lot of baseball to be played.

I was nervous as hell:lol: Once again, I love Dustin Pedroia!

Lucky for you they won JimEd;):harhar: Let me know if you are starting tonight's thread or if you want me to. I love Dustin Pedroia!

Way to go Victah! Nice throw!

Rays lose 7-4.

Just making sure. He was not good during his short lived tenure.

No doubt. Good timing.

Yeah, no need for Boof. :thumbsup:

Another nice inning from long reliever Atchison!

It's kinda like an Orioles troll. But you aren't a troll. You are just misunderstood. All is well Ike.

Nice job Atchison!!

:thumbsup:

Nice job Youk and McDonald!!!!!!!!!
