Boston Red Sox pitcher John Smoltz pitched in his second outing of the year last night; but his start was overshadowed by the fact that the Sawks gave up a nine-run lead and lost, 11-10. To the friggin’ Orioles, further cementing Smoltz’s reputation as a black cat running under a ladder on Friday the 13th [...]

Going to the Yankees is like pledging allegiance to the Nazis, the Cylons and the Sinister Six. Once you go there, I can't let you back in the good graces, no matter how many roast beef sandwiches or Leighton Meester photos you send me. So it is with great regret that I discovered Smilin' Eric Hinske had gone pinstripes on us. Although he was more famous for that bad-ass...

After giving up four first inning runs against the Washington Nationals on June 25, John Smoltz rightly redeemed himself tonight against the Baltimore Orioles before his outing was cut short due to an hour and 11 minute rain delay at Camden Yards. Smoltz pitched four innings deep until the tarp had to be pulled in the bottom of the fifth. He gave up 3 hits, 1 run, 1 walk, and 2...

Apparently, sometime after the rain delay of last night's game, Tito decided to give the lads a rest and replaced the entire team -- particularly the bullpen -- with robot doppelgangers. This was evident the moment the Sox headed off the field with only two outs in the bottom of the sixth; robots, despite their advanced computer brains, are notoriously bad at counting outs. And...

I guess it should have kept raining.The best bullpen in baseball had its worst game of the season last night. A 10-1 lead went down the drain in the last two innings, as Baltimore scored five in the seventh and five more in the eighth to win, 11-10. Everyone who followed John Smoltz was terrible. This game reminded me of June 4, 1989, a game where the Sox had a 10-0 lead after six...

If nothing else, last night’s historic Orioles comeback win over Boston proved one thing - don’t fall asleep on the O’s.
The Red Sox fell asleep during one of those bursts of summer rain and humidity unique to the Chesapeake Bay. Beautiful day, John Smoltz dealing, the stands full of nutsacks rooting for the Sox. Before anyone finished beer number one, Boston had...

Yeah...no. That was, what we in the business call "unfuckingacceptable." Like a horrible nightmare you can't escape from, that just kept getting worse and worse. And no disrespect to the lovely Greta or any of the other charming Orioles fans I know but...what the ****? That does not happen. I realize this is Birdland and all that but come the **** on. Perhaps we have...
