I don't look for the guys ahead of him to just quit playing ball, so if he does catch up, it will be amazing.
Trivia question: What is the record for most homers in a season by a player who didn't receive a single, intentional walk?

So far this year, looks like we can add a twist to an old quote:
"The majority of American males put themselves to sleep by striking out the batting order of the Toronto Blue Jays."

It was good to see V-Mart back in the stadium where he belongs. A class act that Victor was. Gosh I miss him.

More on Vic...
Vic The Stik was a class act, meeting with many of his friends before the game and discussing his love for the Cleveland.
We didn’t want you to leave either, Vic.
Looks like the details depend on who he talks to:More on Vic...

Boston Red Sox - Progressive movement - The Boston Globe
As of this moment, the Red Sox are 10 for 13, for a batting average of .769, against the Phillies. I think the remainder of the game should be called off.
How about that Red Sox rookie hitting a grandslam on the FIRST major league pitch he ever sees?!
Strange things happen all the time.
Lets hope they don't make him to be the hitting version of Strasburg, I can only handle one majorly over hyped situation at a time ..
I haven't seen this confirmed in print, so it may be just BS, but supposedly, one of his minor league coaches was one of the handful of players who hit a home run on the first pitch thrown to him in the majpors, and has told Nava and everyone else he coached that when they gets to the bigs, they should try to hit the first pitch thrown to them out of the park, because it will be the only chance they'll ever have to do that.
Lost in the Strasburg talk was the Carlos Santana* (the other Carlos Santana) debut. (*see avatar)
In the two games Santana has started, the prized Cleveland prospect was 3 for 8 with 3 RBI, 1 HR and 0 strikeouts. He was also credited as the first batter that Strasburg gave up a walk to.

That seems to happen a lot over there.
This appears to be Boston's chance as they are on a roll, won 4 straight while both TB and NY have been losing.
Ortiz, who had gone 3 for 33 immediately after winning the Player of the Month award for May, has since gone 12 for 25 (.480) with four homers and ten RBI in the most recent seven games. Even when he was going 3 for 33, he didn't look that bad at the plate.

Manny just stole second against Tim Wakefield, and then scored on a single. It was his first stolen base since 2008.
