Lester Amazing Again posted on 06/30/2009

  J. Lester and the Sox traveled to Baltimore last night to play the Orioles in what would be the Lester show. He has been amazing in his last 6 starts he hasn't giving up no more than 3 runs and has 4 wins and 48 strikeouts, Awesome!

Last night would be no different, Lester pitched 7 scoreless innings with 8 k's and allowing only 5 hits, so was deffinitly in the works for another win just as long as his offense stepped up for him. The Sox only had scored 1 run in their previous 2 games. Not tonight, JD Drew who was moved and now hitting in the #1 spot went 3-5 leading the game off with a triple and later hitting a homer and was just a double shy of the cycle(maybe we should leave him at lead off)!! After the lead off triple, Pedroia would knock him in on a base hit and the Sox would lead 1-0 before Lester even started the bottom of the 1st.  That would be all the support he would need. Even though the Sox would add 3 more runs in the 4th with everyone in the lineup helping like Variteck who went 2-4 with a run and RBI and Ellsbury who was 1-3 with a run and 2 stolen bases-- Sweet.  The offense seems to be comming back around.

Lester Strikes Out 11 and Doesn't Get Decision, But Sox Win in Extar Innings posted on 06/13/2009
Boston Red Sox; Inter-league Play Begins with the Red Sox heading to Philly to play World Champion Philadelphia Phillies!

With last years champs in town facing what I believe to be this year's champs (the Red Sox) I think we should have a good series and a good game and last night we had a battle. Even though the Sox are 11-2 versus the Philly’s since 2005!

Lester came out of the gate like he did last game and put down the hammer; he has struck out over 10 people in each of his last 3 starts.  Last night would be no different; he pitched an amazing 7 innings, 111 pitches, 2 hits, 1 earned run and 11 strikeouts, sweet!

Meanwhile our offense did its thing getting 11 hits and in the 4th inning Youkilis would hit a solo homer -- his 11th of the year to tie the game after the Phillies had taken a one run lead and that would be the last lead they would have.  Because J.D Drew hit his 9th home run of the year in the 5th inning to give Lester a 2-1 lead, and the way he was going, that would be all he needed, and it looked that way, but didn’t end that way.

Is Big Papi Back on Track? posted on 06/08/2009

The Boston Red Sox; Lose 2 out of 3 from the Central 1st place Texas Rangers but the Sox are still in 1st In The East!!!

  Today Dice-K and the Sox came out looking a little off for the first time in June!! Like I stated in a previous blog, if the Sox pitching is healthy they can take it all, and they had been proving that every game but today, Beckett and Lester almost threw no hitters this week, Wakefield and Penny(besides his last start) have been looking great and Dice got his 1st win since coming off the DL last week, but he didn't look that great today, a little off-- Hey you can't win them all!!!

   The Sox need Dice looking back to his old self, throwing in the low 90s, throwing over 90 pitches, only allowing a run or 2, instead today we went 5 innings giving up 10 hits and 5 earned runs and he would get the loss 6-3!! The the way that our hitting is going and having everyone contributing the Red Sox are a hard team to beat!! The exception weas yesterday's game when the Sox had only had 4 hits all game and never were able to get Dice the lead. Dice just looked uncomfortable.

Lester Pitches a 2-Hitter for Rex Sox Win posted on 06/08/2009

Boston Red Sox; Jon Lester has another amazing start!!!
  Lester was awesome and pitched like Beckett the other night, LIGHTS OUT!! Last night it was Texas at Fenway and Lester came out and took out the Rangers, hittless for 7 innings.  I thought he was going to get a no-hitter once the 6th inning came and went and Lester just was painting the corners and striking people out left and right, ending with 11 strikeouts and just was pitching great.
  Lowell hit a solo shot in the 2nd to give the Sox the 1-0 lead. Then in the 5th Mr. David "Big Papi" Ortiz lead off with is 2nd homer of the year, Finally!! and Boston goes nuts Oritz went 2-3 so maybe the Big Man is comming around?!!  Pedroia would knock in Ellsbury and the Sox would go on a tare from there with every starter either having a hit or a run and left the 5th up 4-0!!  Thats all they would need even though they would tack on 4 more making it 8-0!!!
