    Another stong outing from a starter, that's TWO in a row. << faints >>

    Lester with a nice complete game. Two games where the bullpen could rest which is key heading into an NL park.

    Lester and Buchholz are the only reasons I have any hope of a playoff push this year... Although I'm afraid Buchhy will lose his mental edge somewhere down the line.

    After what the Sox have done in the last decade i'll never have anything pessimistic when thinking of the Sox. They WILL ALWAYS be good with me till 2017. Hopefully they'll take a few more Series before then.

    what, the Theo thing? I'm not in Boston, so I don't know the feel for the story there, but, I'd lean towards it's not a big deal at all. I'm guessing it's more that it was fodder for shit like the ESPN talk shows like Around the Horn and PTI ... you know, because once one show mentions it, they all gotta mention it.

    As for yestrday, well, there's a reason I have Cole Hamels on all my roto teams, he's real good ... Sox got a does of that last night. Let's hope they can they can beat up on Kendrick today (without a DiceK meltdown :? ).

    yeah, the Theo thing. I saw 2 stories on Yahoo about it, and they were so over the top dramatic. i mean, wearing a disguise is kinda stupid, and there probably wouldnt even be a story if he wasn't trying to hide himself. But still, who cares?

    If only the Sox could beat up Halladay like this when he was in Toronto. :shock:

    No kidding, right? Halladay didn't look like himself, especially in the 5th & 6th. Taking 2 of 3 in Philly is nice. If we can do the same down in Tampa this week, things will start to look a little better in the standings. The nice thing is after Tampa, we bring in the Royals with cheese to beat up on in Fenway next weekend.

    It's 7 - 0 after 7 right now, but, I'm not counting this game as over, not in that ball park, with that lineup.

    But, if indeed the Sox do win ... their past week

    2 games @ Yankees Stadium
    2 games @ home vs a very tough Twins team
    3 games @ Citizen Bank Ball park.

    5 - 2 ... a pretty good week ... and, Ellsbury is back.

    Oh, and let's not forget, the fisrt game of the week was that horrible loss to the Yankees ... so, they responded by going 5 - 1 after that loss.

    I think it is pretty hilarious that Martinez wears a 1B glove when catching Wakefield. Remember the size of the catchers mit Mirabelli wore?

    I don't care if he catches him with pizza boxes, what ever works. :D

    actually he was only 14-14 against the sox with an era at 4.28 coming into the game today...not overly dominating numbers by any stretch of the imagination.

    If you look at career numbers, there are a lot of injury related years in there ... the last two years, he killed the Sox.

    But hey, if you want to lessen the blow of this statement backfiring ... go nuts ...

    lol...i dunno man. when your team's own beat writer says the sox have had a decent amount of success against him, i gotta believe it. the yankee's, he's killed. the sox, not so much. era in the mid 4's...
    http://www.bostonherald.com/blogs/sports/red_sox/

    Really, though, the Red Sox usually had at least a degree of success against Halladay when he was mowing down hitters for the Blue Jays, and that trend continued here today. The Sox scored seven runs against Halladay, six of which were earned, and knocked him out of the game after only 5-2/3 innings, his shortest outing since last Aug. 19, also against the Red Sox, at Fenway Park. In 42 games (39 starts) against the Red Sox, Halladay has allowed 134 earned runs in 275 innings for a 4.39 ERA. His record against the Red Sox: A pedestrian 14-15.

    Did you not read the part where I said over the last 2 years? I thought that was pretty clear.

    Over the last two years, he's had nine starts and an ERA under 2.50 and he's held Sox batters under .225

    no.

    close though...with a selective sample size.

    against boston he had a 2.79 era last year...2.59 era in 08...but toss in his 6.92 era in '07 and that gives him 3.29 for the past 3 years.

    you're right though. the last two years he was pretty damn good!
