7.08
Any runner is out when –
(a) (1) He runs more than three feet away from his baseline to avoid being tagged unless his action is to avoid interference with a fielder fielding a batted ball. A runner’s baseline is established when the tag attempt occurs and is a straight [...]

Why would a 21 year old kid, who’s been in the majors about 3 weeks be throwing at Kevin Youkilis – now on the verge of a sweep?  In retaliation for what?  Why Chamberlain?  What beef does he have?  Why now?  I didn’t see it, or the game, and without any warning?  That’s got to [...]

Abreu and A-Rod execute a double steal, force Varitek into a throwing error and both come around to score. 5-0 Yanks.  Gotta love it. 
By the Way – Joba just got thrown out for two high pitches to Youkilis.  (AND he wasn’t even warned).  Stupid.  He wasn’t throwing at Youkilis.  Why would he?  They have 1 out [...]

Bobby Abreu is sweet as candy!  [He still shouldn't be hitting third, by the way]  But obviously I’m giddy over the fact that’s it’s 3-0. 
Oh, and I don’t want to hear later on about how the Red Sox aren’t really trying because the games don’t mean as much.  You think Schilling wasn’t trying today?  He [...]

Chieng Meng Wang – his line today is: 7 innings, 1 hit, 0 ER, 4 BBs, 5 Ks, and 103 pitches.  If that’s not an outing by an ace, well then I guess other people know more about baseball than I do!  Let me be clear: In any era, in any age, no matter where [...]

2:37 – Back to Back Home Runs in consecutive ABs by Robby Cano.  Both of them to Center, one of them to Left Center (From a Lefty!!). 

“Grounded to third…it could be two…A-Rod to Cano on to First…..Wide…..He’s safe…No he’s out..Giambi kept his foot on the bag.”

Good job by Roger.  He stayed away which is why he was seemingly wild, but his start last night was like Ali “floating like a butterfly and stinging like a bee.”  And finally the team is playing some nice, crisp games.  I thought since Joba was not available that Torre should have went Farnsworthless in [...]

Lincecum vs. Hughes
1) Lincecum: DOB – 6/15/84.  7-4, 3.94 ERA, 130.1 IP, 103 H, 137 Ks, 55 BB.
2) Hughes: DOB -6/24/86. 2-2, 5.35 ERA, 38.2 IP, 32 H, 36 Ks, 15 BB.
Lincecum is having a better year.  However, Hughes got hurt, missed 2 and half months and is 2 years younger.   
Wang v. Halladay
1) Halladay: [...]

Mike, you have a good point.  Fans, like everyone else have their favorites and sometimes they turn a “blind’s eye” to the facts.  Here’s the difference, and it’s a slight difference, but sometimes these slight differences grow over time and they fester in fans’ minds.  Pettitte gave up the lead last night, but the Yankees [...]
