Lets Go Red Sox

The Red Sox are 3 quarters finished with the season, and are in first place in the American League East Division. If the season had ended today, they would be in the playoffs, in the first divisional round. So, I'm here to check up on the Red Sox. Right now they hold a 2 game lead in the AL East, they have a pretty good chance of making the playoffs if they don't collapse, cough cough, September 2011... Anyways, if they keep playing good, we have a good chance of making the playoffs, and winning the division, which we need to do so we don't have to play in the one game wildcard game. The Tampa Bay Rays are second in the division, followed by the third place Orioles, then the fourth place Yankees, and the last place Blue Jays. The American League wild card race is heating up, with 6 teams fighting for a playoff spot. The National League Wild Card isn't that interesting or exciting because there is pretty much only 3 teams in contention for the Wild Card. The division leaders for the American League are the Red Sox, Tigers, and Rangers. The division leaders for the National League are the Braves, Pirates, and Dodgers, and, let's talk about the National League. The Braves have a 14 game lead in the NL East, and the Dodgers have been hot lately, going 42-8 in their last 50 games. The NL Central is more of a better division race to pay attention to.

So back to the Red Sox, they face the Yankees at Fenway Park today 8 PM, on ESPN, on Sunday Night Baseball. If they win today, they will win the series and if the Rays lose we could gain a 3 game lead in the division, hopefully we can. Well, with 37 games left, like I said, if they keep playing good, they will have a good chance of making the playoffs, and Boston will finally see playoff baseball again, since the last time in 2009, when they got swept in the first round. Well, I'll be back to post here and there, and when important things happen, like lets say, like Xander Bogarts gets called up, but anyways I'll also post on the last game of the season, and if the Red Sox make the playoffs, I'll continue to post in the playoffs. Well, good luck Red Sox!

Celtics Hire Butler Stevens As New Head Coach

The Celtics hire former BullDogs coach Butler Stevens as there new head coach. Stevens has a .772 career winning percentage but no NBA expirience. He led his NCAA team to two NCAA title games as well. Hopefully Stevens can coach the Celtics to success and we'll see if he can tolerate Rondo's behavior.

P.S. I know there hasn't been any Red Sox's post lately(Blame that on DJ) but i'll keep updating the sidebar to inform you.)

Big 3 Era Officially Over

The Celtics have traded Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett, and Jason Terry to the Brooklyn Nets for Kris Humphries, Gerald Wallace, Keith Bogans, and first round picks for the years 2014, 2016, and 2018. To me the Nets won this deal getting 2 future Hall of Famers and one of the best 3 point shooters and 6th man in the NBA. Paul Pierce is going to be the hardest to get over considering his whole career was with the Celtics. So the Rebuilding phase officially begins and will probably last for a while.

Anyway the draft was yesterday and the Celtics or should i say the Mavericks drafted Kelly Olynyk but they traded him to the Celtics. Olynyk finished his last season in college career averaging 17.8 PPG and 7.3 RPG. So welcome to the Celtics and "enjoy" the rebuilding phase.

Lackey's Excellence Leads Red Sox to win over Rockies 5-3

Lackey claps and reacts after striking out Rockies, Tyler Colvin in the in the 4th inning

John Lackey was brilliant tonight as he led the Red Sox to a 5-3 win over the Rockies, as we won both 2 games against them. Lackey struck out 12, as he tied a career high, and pitched 7 innings, giving up 8 hits, only 2 runs, and walking none. He would earn the win to go 5-5 and lower his season ERA to 2.99, just showing more and more of who he really is and should be. The Red Sox were able to put up 10 hits and 5 runs, as the star of the lineup was Victorino who went 3-4 with an RBI. Also, Pedroia went 2-4, Ortiz went 1-2 with an RBI and 2 walks, and Nava went 1-3 with 2 RBI's. Napoli also had an RBI. Tazawa came into the 8th, giving up a home run but the score would still be 5-3. Entering the 9th, it would be 5-3 as Koji Uehara would take the mound in a save opportunity, in his new closer role. He would give up no hits and strike out 2, earning his 2nd save of the season, once again, in his new primarily role, the closer.

Lackey's outing was just great fanning 12 batters, and it gave a sense of relief for Boston, as he is suddenly a new better pitcher than he was in his first 2 years with the Red Sox. Wanna know something else good about Lackey? He threw a pitch that reached out to 95 MPH, something he never used to show back in his first 2 seasons with the Red Sox, but he was always dealing with an arm injury then.

Now back to the Clay Buchholz situation, as he is leaving Boston in many questions. On Wednesday, Buchholz's bullpen session was cut short after 18 pitches when he had felt discomfort again in his neck muscle. Later that day, Buchholz was scheduled for an MRI, or medical scan, and more will be told to us once Farrell finds out what is wrong. Right now, there is no time return, but most likely, he is going to be out until after the All Star Break. Now some may be getting worried because the All Star break is somewhat far away and isn't until July 16th, but it may be best for him to just sit it out and get all the rest/time he needs because it would be much better to have our ace in the second half of the season when we really need him down along the road, once the playoff race becomes tighter. So Buchholz may be out until after the All Star break but hopefully that is the best for him as we will hopefully be able to see him pitch along the road later this season.

Anyways, with that being said, the Red Sox will face the red hot Blue Jays who may be 5th in the competitive division, but are 8-2 in their last 10 games and only 6.5 games back of first place now. The 4 game series will be in Boston, and will start tomorrow at 7:10 PM and end on Sunday, and then the Red Sox will face the Padres in a 3 game series at home to end this 9 game home stand.
