Wow, Danks with the no hitter through four innings. I sure hope no one jinxes it by talking about it!
This team has got to improve on Road Trips.. EVERY frigging time RS goes on road trip it seems like everything has gone to shat.. FYI 2007 RS record for Road games are 45-36.
It starting to feel like the Red Sox are at risk of being no hit by somebody on a weekly basis. Something has to happen with the bats, watching Lowell in the 4 spot in the lineup is getting painful, but it's tough to say who would be better there at this point. At this rate they might have to try Pedroia there (kidding...kinda).
I hope this NO HITTER doesn't last too much longer...

its like they truly are asleep
Danks is perfect through 5, and the offense is blowing more than my mother on Prom night.
Two no-hit bids against us in a couple of weeks. WTF?
Ellsbury got plunked.
Well, we have a baserunner. Now let's break up the no-hitter!
Helluva way to lose a perfecto...
Hey, look on the bright side. It's a one run game. We do pretty well in those, don't we? Oh, never mind.
SO DANKS IS THROWING A NO HITTER?
What's lost in this pathetic showing by our "Offense" is the terrific performance Josh is giving us.
6 IP 6 H 1 R 7K
Hmm How about that NO HITTER that Danks is throwing?

Thank God. I was watching Misty May and Walsh's butts and flipping and I didn't even realize we were being no-no'd until just now when I sat down.
Ok, time to win the game now.
Edit: A really Gay HR right now would be awesome

We need eight from Josh and then turn it over to the crazy man for the ninth. No MDC or Oki.
Juan Urbine really is UGLY.. look at "Blonde" dye color for Goatee..
Solid job by Josh so far.
WTG josh, your the man
danks goes from throwing a no no , to being on the hook for the loss, gotta love that

He must have heard about me making a comment about his Goatee.
A bloop and a sac bunt. The small ball Sox.
Twins 4, Pigs 0 in the eighth.
The Pigs are very close to falling out of this race.

Nice of Drew to keep the save situation for Papelbon. That's some good teamwork there!
Edit: I am very impressed with the apparent attitude and execution in the late innings here after 6+ dominant innings by Danks. On the road no less!
Edit 2: Damnit Ellsbury! No save for Papelbon. What were you thinking, driving in a run like that. Selfish.

Now Lowrie has 2 more RBIs than Lugo, in less than half of the number of games played.
