Johnson has a no hitter after 5

Acclimated, but I got a quick headache over that one.

Yeah, I apologize for the botched spelling...being on pain killers for a bad knee will do that sometimes

5-0 MFYs

A couple of vicodin EX's and a few beers and this game would be a lot more fun.....I'd be drooling on my computer, but still more fun.

OK, but can you get the breaking ball over the plate? If so, call Theo Epstein.

Well in that case....

Anyone still believe Abreu isn't going to be much help to the MFY?

OK, here's what you've all been lusting over, WMP in the five hole with men on.
Edit, could Loretta have scored?

I'll reserve judgement until we see if he's going to have to play center every day. I think that will ultimately be a problem for him, especially with Crosby not on the MFY roster anymore....

Crosby is back in AAA, so they could easily call him back up if Damon has to go on the DL

Well if nothing else his arm will be a MAJOR upgrade.

Crosby's in AAA? I live in Toledo and they're playing the Clippers, I haven't seen Crosby's name anywhere in 3 games, Guiel was sent down...dunno about Crosby though.

Ugh.

Is it just me, or does Lowell always ground into a DP with multiples runners on?

meanwhile. . .

Johnson has pitched no hit ball through 6 innings

Well **** this. Lowell's slide continues.

Lowell went from a hitting machine to being close to an automatic out now...disappointing.

Oh come on, Abreu has won a gold glove. Coco never will.

This team is screwed, blued and tattooed.

KC pulling out the dreaded small ball!

He passed through waivers today and was optioned to AAA

Come on Javy...geez.

It's strange that Beckett is throwing so many off-speed pitches with Javy Lopez catching (sort of).

Josh got out of it, so no harm done. Now let's score some damn runs!

These passed balls will mess with Beckett too. He might start thinking he can't waste any in the dirt and just throw down the pipe...get well soon Tek

Funny you mentioned that. I was thinking along the same lines....but could it be that Wallace is having an effect already? Earlier in the season he'd just throw harder when he struggled, now he's going to his off-speed and breaking stuff instead.

Javy is still doing a crap job of catching them, but the change in his approach is encouraging.

Tadahito breaks up the no-no to start the 7th.

Kapler walks. Can Lopez get the runner over?

Well that was a wasted AB.

I agree, I hope Josh realizes that he needs to mix up his stuff like tonight to be effective. I think he has actually pitched very well tonight, despite the crappy fourth (some of which was Javy's fault).

3 - 4 - 5 up for KC. Normally, you'd laugh, but anymore...

C'mon Joshy. Does he have a nickname?

Wow, after losing the no-no, RJ is out, the CWS have 2 runs in, 2 on base and nobody out......nice. Into the tired bullpen they go.....

holy crap ron villone is awful

Edit: alright, that was pretty impressive, two pop ups and flyout on bases loaded

Need a DP, need a DP...

Well, if that's the case, then I wish our bullpen was that awful

bases loaded no outs and he gets 2 infield popups and a flyout

Big K! Now gets this no stick out!!

ya i know, i changed the post. He was all over the place and still got the job done, then again, Cintron and Anderson don't exactly illicit fear in the hearts of most pitchers

Woot...Javy might need to put a soccer goal behind him to grab the curves he's missing, lol.

You're like 40 games out and intentionally walking Ortiz...lame.

Loretta got him over. Good job. Gotta start somewhere. Bring him in Papi.

Edit, IBB, I must be El Stupido.

Manny has got to step it up after all these IBB. He hasn't lately

I've gotta say, the MFY's rule about facial hair/short haircuts is really antiquated. Craig Wilson had personality before, now he looks like any Biff selling insurance in suburban America. Besides the obvious reasons, I think I'd have NY on my no-trade list if I were in the majors just for the fact that I hate shaving.....

The praise for Loretta in the radio booth was effusive after he made that out. Wow, good job advancing Youk to scoring pos- oh wait.

Just Steady being Steady.

Come on WMP!!!! No DP please!!!!

So walking Ortiz accomplished???

Come on Wily, your time to shine baby.

OK, this is starting to piss me off.

It's almost like the Sox want to keep this game close.

Now if Coco was batting 5th, he would have beat the throw. WTF

Playing like Red Sox teams of lore with the mediocre pitching and big slow lumbering RHHers.

manny please keep this game where it is

When will people realize Mike Timlin is not an effective reliever anymore, or does he get a lifetime pass due to veteranness and 3 rings?

That was a nice attempt by Gonzo.

Now keep him at first base.


He gets a pass due to the fact that THERE IS NO ONE ELSE.
