PEDRO GIPPED
Yeah we won, but Pedro has a mere 6 wins this year and he could very well have 11 or 12 which would be amazing considering the injury time he has had. And moving him back 3 days next week isn't going to help his win total, nor does it help the team all that much, Grady. and I know you're reading this.

Story
Box Score
ESPN Recap
W: Jones (2-0)
L: Rodney (0-1)
S: Kim (5)
BS: Embree (1)
As Eminem performed at neighboring Ford Field, Pedro Martinez put on a spectacular show only to be gipped of yet another victory. Seven innings from Pedro and an Earned Run coming on a SAC Fly. Eight Ks and only one Walk. Pedro gave up a scant 4 hits. Of his 105 pitches, 69 were strikes. That is a 1.91667 to 1 ratio of strikes to balls and a strike percentage of 65.714%. However, Embree blew the potential win for Pedro. The bullpen's ERA in Pedro starts is 5.56. If we make the playoffs, that had better stop because Pedro is our ONLY frontline pitcher. Everyone other current starter's ERA is above 4.20.
Now for the Man of the Game. This is the 31st MOTG to be awarded. Damon went 3 for 4 with 2 RBI and a Run. However, he made a ridiculously poor throw in the game on Detroit's SAC Fly which really made me sad. Very poor thrower. The Man of the Game doesn't necesarily go to the player who does the best or contributes the most, it goes to the player that is the most magnificent on the field. That would be Pedro Martinez. He deserved the win but Embree sucked (I know it was a fielding mistake, but how much ability does it take to prevent a runner on first with 2 outs from scoring?) and I think Grady should have used Kim to pitch the 8th and 9th. Here are the MOTG standings:
1. Nomar - 4
2. Millar, Varitek - 3
4. PEDRO, Nixon, Mueller - 2
7. Walker, Kapler, Manny, Burkett, Sanchez, Rupe, Lyon, R. Halladay (TOR), M. Mussina (NYY), A. Pettitte (NYY) J. Crede (CWS), E. Loiza (CWS), JD Drew (StL), B. Myers (PHI), J. Pierre (FLA) - 1
Speaking of Damon's shitty arm, did anyone else see Carlos Beltran's BULLETT to throw out Juan Gonzalez at the plate last night? Catch SportsCenter or ESPN News at the end of the half hour to see it, it's fucking amazing. Doubtful we'll get him for Damon or Nixon as they are in first place and KC doesn't like Damon too much.
Roy Halladay and the BJ's blew out theY*nkees 10-3 so we're only a game behind the scum. Imagine if we had beaten them Monday. Speaking of that series, I just updated my shitty Geocities Red Sox page with a few pics from that series. I didn't take them, they're stolen from various media outlets' sites.
Manny to sit out All-Star game. He has a sore hammy and home field advantage in the World Series isn't as important to me as is making the World Series. Perhaps Grady should bench him today because the Tigers suck.
CONCACEF GOLD CUP
USA 2-0 El Salvador
Earnie Stewart 28'
Brian McBride 76'
Canada shocked Costa Rica 1-0.
USA takes on Martinique Wednesday at CMGI Field in Foxboro. After we beat Martinique 4-0, we'll play the winner of Group D (either Canada, Cuba, or Costa Rica) July 19th in Foxboro. I beleive the winner of the Gold Cup shall get an automatic bid to the next Confederations Cup.
Kobe speaks up. "I shouldn't have to say anything. You know I would never do something like that." Right, cuz NBA players are known for their gentlemanly behaviour.
Maurice Claret likes oral, who the hell don't
Is anyone else sick of those Espy commercials in which athletes are "at" sporting events? Jeff Garcia never threw an octopus on the ice of the Joe Lewis Arena, Vince Carter never caught a foul ball at Fenway, and Michelle Kwan has never been inside the Raider's "Black Butthole" although she'd probably be the toughest one in there.
If the WNBA has an All-Star game and no-one cares, does the league even exist? No, grasshopper, it doesn't
Man United on verge of buying Ronaldhino for $32.5 million. I hate Man U. Related Ronaldhino story.
Bayern Munich is gonna be SICK next year. WUNDERBAR!
And finally... Manchester United buy Tim Howard from Metro Stars for $2 million. Talk about getting quality for low money. Howard joins American goalies Brad Friedel (Blackburn Rovers) and Kasey Keller (Tottenham Hotspurs) in the English Premier League. In my opinion, Arsenal should have bought this guy. It would have cost them a minimal amount of money and we need a keeper with inexperienced Stuart Taylor and a bunch of reserves behind him.
