The Red Sox generally have a bad time in Toronto and generally offer
poor run support to Tim Wakefield. Guess who's pitching where tonight?

I hope you were hammered when you wrote that, and aren't that stupid when it comes to baseball.

10K's, 2 runs. He did walk in one run, but most days that pitching line adds up to a "W." The Sox's offense just shut down. Overrated? He's in the top three in MLB in strikeouts.

And yes, it's a great time to be a Yankees fan....if you like all your starting pitchers on the DL.

I appreciate the gesture to honor Red, but those shirts should be burned.

Unreal game. I can't believe the streak Arod is on. Never seen anything like it. He just broke the MLB record for, I think, most hr's in 15 games?

(It's still April, I'm allowed to gloat)

"With 10 strikeouts in Tuesday's game against the Blue Jays, Matsuzaka became the first pitcher since Fernando Valenzuela in 1981 to strike out 10 or more batters in two of his first three major league starts, writes the Boston Herald." -ESPN

Hopefully he adds many more tomorrow, so I can gloat.

Four back to back homers was just awesome!

I was awestruck at the 4hrs.

By the way, ESPN is a little generous with their radar gun readings. I noticed this yesterday when Dice K threw a "97" mph fastball, then Paps hit "94" with a splitter:

"April 22, 2007
Speeding it up
By Amalie Benjamin, Globe Staff
For those of you who are interested, the radar gun on ESPN appears to consistently be about two to three miles per hour faster than the radar gun that comes up on the scoreboard in the park.
That has traditionally been the case.
The pitch (cut fastball, I believe) that Daisuke Matsuzaka threw to strike out Alex Rodriguez looking was listed as 90 on ESPN and 87 in the park. His fastballs have been in the 93 mile per hour range, not in the 96 range as they've been appearing on TV..."

I'm surprised every batter doesn't get a HR whenever I see that bag of crap Chase Wright pitching.
