And what about Jon Lester with his 8 innings of 1 HIT ball??? 100 pitches, 57 for strikes..Yes, he walked 4, but also struck out 4…and improving his record to 5-0. Much improved in terms in pitch efficiency…he is getting deeper into games…and then Jonathan “automatic out” Papelbon comes in and pitches a perfect [...]

Wow…a hell of a game on Sunday night…some thoughts on that, the Home Run Derby and the upcoming all-star game…
Can’t be too hard to Papelbon, it was only his 3rd blown save, most of the time he is completely automatic. Not real happy with Timlin’s performance, and CERTAINLY not happy with Rudy Seanez’s…but that is [...]

…and all it took was a 6-RBI night by David Ortiz to right to ship (with props to Doug Mirabelli and Manny Ramirez with 2 each) When Manny hit the 2-run shot in the 1st I thought, ok, Wake just needs to buckle down and pitch one of those 1-run gems he is known for [...]

But, [...]
