Boston Red Sox @ Baltimore Orioles


7:05 / MASN :: 89° :: Wind out to LF - 9 MPH :: Rain - 0%

Hsuvq5py_medium Dkmgdnhj_medium

  Today's Starting Pitchers GS IP ERA WHIP BAA HR BB K W-L
Jon Lester - LH 25 160.2 3.25 1.30 .262 11 50 109 11-4
Jeremy Guthrie - RH 25 170.0 3.18 1.15 .235 18 45 108 10-8

Usually I'd say something about the fact that we've got a hell of a nice pitching matchup on our hands today, with young Jon Lester taking on our ace Jeremy Guthrie, two guys having similar years. But instead I just want to say that it's time to play the role of spoiler.

And I want to send a shout-out to Awesome Mike Awesome, who says Lester is better than Guthrie. I will throw all rationale to the side and just say this: To be the man, by God, you have to beat! the! man!

WOOOOOOO!

Lineup

Cool dream, Dave-- and you're right, NY and Boston BOTH have Yankee teams, i.e. jerkitudinal.

I’ll letcha be in my dream if I can be in yours! I said that.

Lord, I hope the O's can play spoiler

Now that Olympic swimming is over, I’ll likely tune into a bit of this game.

I had to give pointers to a bunch of massholes up here who were making the trip to Baltimore. Before you ask, I didn’t steer them to Edmondson Village or the likes. I hope they get to see a bunch of losses. I can dream.

Adam Jones NOT out for season?

Schmuck and Roch are both reporting that Jones was playing catch today without a cast or walking boot. Schmuck thinks that Jones is on pace to return for the final two or three weeks of the season.

That would make the annual limp-to-the-finish a lot more watchable.

Actually

I only disputed the notion that Guthrie was “clearly” better than Lester, which was wrong then and wronger now. They could hardly be more equal. Except Lester is much younger and Guthrie has been way way luckier on balls in play.

No such thing as a blown hold

If you are in a “hold situation” and blow it, its really a blown save.

In this case it would be nothing, becuase it’s not a “hold situation” (which is really a save situation).
