In what turned out to be a strange 9th inning, the Tampa Bay Rays were able to hold off the Boston Red Sox 5-4 in front of 34,145 mostly bandwagon Rays fans at Tropicana Field. The win gives the Rays a 1½ game lead over the Red Sox in the AL East.

Afternoon Red Sox Delight – 6/30
June 30th, 2008 by Ian · Comments Off ·
The last time the Boston Red Sox and Tampa Bay Rays played there was some sort of incident that caused a bunch of players to be suspended. I really don’t think that we will see any histrionics tonight but then again you never know as the Red Sox sit 1/2 game behind the Rays for [...]

Boston Red Sox News & Notes – 6/30
June 30th, 2008 by Ian · 2 Comments ·
Normally when Josh Beckett gives the Boston Red Sox 7 innings allowing just 2 runs there’s a pretty good chance they are going to win. Unfortunately though, the once reliable Hideki Okajima has gone south for winter a little bit early.
Yesterday’s game marked the second straight time Beckett has gone out and done his job [...]

Picking Up The Blitz Ver 7.6
June 29th, 2008 by Steve · Comments Off ·
So when is a no-hitter not a no-hitter? Even I am not sure of all the various requirements for a no-hitter after they were changed several years ago and games we thought were no-hitters were no longer no-hitters.
The largest of the requirements is that the team that is no-hit has to bat in all nine [...]
