Game 2009.052: Red Sox at Tigers

PREGAME: It is time for this series to mercifully come to an end. The Tigers have not so much looked good in these first 2 games and now have dropped 4 in a row at home. As for today’s afternoon tilt, I don’t really know what to expect. Tim Wakefield will be heaving knucklers  towards home [...]

D Train Goes Off the Rails

Well, not that D train (above). The one below.It didn't look good in the beginning for the Red Sox. Tim Wakefield allowed the Detroit Tigers three runs in the second inning in yesterday afternoon's finale to the road trip at Comerica Park. I was thinking this was a "playing with the house's money game," as the Red Sox had won the series and clinched at least...

BOS 6, DET 3: Bay's way

It's not how you start. It's how you finish. Ask Tim Wakefield. Wakefield, known for his lack of patience to start innings, gave up three early runs in the second inning. But, Boston knew that Dontrelle Willis would eventually crack. He did just that. Willis imploded in the third hitting Jacoby Ellsbury, walking four batters and giving up six runs. Jason Bay...

An athlete's worst possible day

Yesterday in Major League Baseball saw two of the worst possible days an athlete can have. Toronto's Alex Rios went 0-5 with five strikeouts in a loss to Los Angeles of Anaheim and Detroit's Dontrelle Willis pitched 21/3 innings of no-hit ball but gave up five earned runs on five walks and a hit batsman (the reliever promptly gave up a hit to knock in the inherited runners...

John Smoltz is not only 10th among active players in wins, he’s 18th in saves. I kind...
