Finally, A Red Sox Sweep...Boston Red Sox 5 Baltimore Orioles 4
2008-09-04 11:13:00 The Boston Red Sox did what they hadn't done in a long time...complete a three game sweep of an opponent. The game was a major league tying 544th straight Fenway Park sellout. The final score was Boston 5 Baltimore 4, and the Orioles are as hapless and helpless as they've been in a long, long time. The Birds were ahead of the Sox 4-0 through six innings before Boston came to life with a bang, actually a few bangs and two bings. Two runs in the seventh, two more in the eighth and the winning run in the ninth were all Boston needed to get out of town on a winning note. Dustin "Pedey" Pedroia had another inspired and productive day, going 3-4 with a HUGE home run in the seventh inning. Pedey's stats over the past few games are astounding. Mark Kotsay had a two run triple in the eighth, the inning that the Red Sox tied it, and then there came the ninth. Javy Lopez and Justin Masterson held the fort in relief of an erratic and pitch heavy Daisuke Matsuzaka, who clearly did not have hi...

Sweep It Is; Yanks Take Three From Birds...
2008-08-25 19:32:00 Sunday?s game was long ? really long. On a sunny, hot day, the Yankees beat the Orioles, 8-7, to complete a three game sweep of the Orioles. To be quite honest, it was one of the longest, if not the longest nine-inning game I have ever had the luxury of sitting through.Both teams started out ugly, and Daniel Cabrera was nothing short of horrible once again, only lasting a little more than three innings as he allowed seven runs ? all earned ? on nine hits and gave a long three-run shot to Johnny Damon. He hit Alex Rodriguez in the fourth inning, and we all thought a fight was going to break out; however, one didn?t, but they added three more in the fourth frame.The Yankees? Darrell Rasner was just as bad as Cabrera, and his bullpen didn?t help matters as they allowed Baltimore to come back and tie the game.The game was decided in the seventh inning as struggling reliever Jamie Walker gave up a crushing home run to Robinson Cano ? the second in the series ? thus, after the Orioles cam...

Sweep!
2008-06-22 22:27:00 A second Patterson! I thought I would share the following letter to my brother-in-law with all of you. Dear Mark, As you might have noticed by now, I have refrained from calling you to gloat this evening. Don't get me wrong, I meant to. Oh, how I meant to. For a while, I was actually keeping track of all the stupid plays made by the South Siders so that I could recall them all to you later. I was going to point out how crappy your pitching is, how crazy your manager is, what a pain in the ass AJ is. But painkillers and Mike's Hard Lemonade brings clarity, and it occurs to me that the anticipation of me calling you and rubbing it in is probably way worse. If I play my cards right, I can string out your agony for at least another 48 hours; you waiting, wondering when I'm going to call. So maybe I will call, maybe I won't. Until we both know for sure, sleep tight. Oh, and your team sucks. Love, Julie

After sweep in San Diego, Omar may wield his machette
2008-06-09 16:16:00 That machete Omar Minaya had smuggled to Colorado might get some use if this persists much longer. Two weeks after the Wilpons hauled Willie Randolph into a meeting to explain himself, the Mets again return home two games under .500, and again coming off a trip that included being swept in four games. Only now, the division leader is the Phillies, not the Marlins. And the 7½-game deficit is the New York Mets' largest in the NL East since 2005. The trip was eeily similar to their previous journey away from Shea, where they went 1-6 in Atlanta and Colorado. After a four-game sweep at Turner Field, Minaya joined the team in Denver, and Randolph - in a bit of gallow's humor - joked that the GM had brought along a machette to cut him loose. Randolph wasn't joking Sunday."I don't know what to say," Randolph said. "I'm not usually at a loss for words, but what do you say? We finally score some runs. And Billy, who has been pitching lights out all year, gives it up. We have to f...

A BRAWL, AN INJURY, A MANNY/YOUK FIGHT, A SWEEP...Red Sox 7 Rays 1
2008-06-06 11:47:00 Oh, what an eventful night at Fenway Park in Boston Thursday night. The bad blood between the Tampa Bay Rays and the Boston Red Sox spilled over into a violent confrontation between the two rivals near the beginning of what would be a Red Sox victory and sweep. Coco Crisp was hit by Rays pitcher James Shields, who is a complete a**hole, and he promptly charged the mound, setting off an ugly brawl in which somebody could have gotten really hurt. Shields said he was just protecting his team by hitting Coco in the leg, an obvious retaliation from the night before. Crisp had this to say..."People were scratching like we're little girls, trying to scratch out my eyes," said Crisp, sporting several scratches around his eyes. "People were trying to pull my hair like little girls instead of punches. The fight is pretty much over, baseballwise. You want to come in late and get your little blows in, that's cool. It's all good, try to pull some hair."I'm not angry at anybody. There were so...
