St. Louis Cardinals 1
Boston Red Sox 13
Here's the redsox.com story and the box score. Here's the ESPN recap
WOW! A few posts ago I said that the game would be over after the 4th inning. I was right. I thought Burkett was going to give up a ton of runs but he only allowed one. The big failure of the game was Brett Tomko. He allowed 9 runs in 2 IP. Pedro was solid in his first rehab start. 3 innings, 3 strikeouts, 2 hits, and most importantly, no walks. He threw 47 pitches, 33 of them were strikes. That's a ratio of 2.357 to 1 which is very, very, very good.
Another encouraging performance was that of Johnny Damon. He went 4 for 6 with 3 singles and a double. Before tonight's game, he was in a 3 for 16 slump since being moved back to the leadoff spot.
The Man of the Game award has to go John "Throwback" Burkett. He threw 6 innings in relief of Pedro against a very good hitting club (The Cards are the leaders in batting average in the NL). Here are the MOTG standings through 5 MOTGs awarded:
1. Kevin "Moose" Millarthra - 2
2. "Get Your" Trot "Here" Nixon - 1
3. John "Throwback" Burkett - 1
4. JD Drew (StL) - 1
Guess what. The news gets even better. The New York Y*nkees were no-hit by the Houston Astros. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Six Astros pitchers combined to no-hit the Y*nkees for the first time since 1958. Here is ESPN's recap and the box score. Look at all those zeros!!!!! This loss puts the Sox in first by half a game and I think it will seriously demoralize the Y*nkees. They spent $180 million on players and they suck! No-one can say that they don't suck!
Here's a story about Bernie Williams' recovery. I wonder if he could have gotten a hit last night. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Also, Casey Fossum and Robert Person were both placed on the 15-day DL. Fossum has tendanitice (horribly mispelled) and Person has a problem with his hip. Jason Shiell was recalled from Pawtucket.
Man, it's times like these that I wish I still had AOL so I could make fun of all the Y*nkees fans in the baseball chat rooms.
