Another great outing by Josh Beckett. CG, 1 hit, 0 walks. His ERA dropped to 1.86
It's kinda expected, after all it is an odd numbered year...

What an awful last 20 games for the Florida Marlins, best position player(Hanley) and best pitcher(Josh Johnson) go on the DL and they have lost 17 of 20!
WHAT happened to all these arms they were SUPPOSEDLY stock piling?! They make no major trades so WHO is minding the store in the minor leagues...???!!!:rant::rant:

I wonder how many people watched this past 8pm? A few hundred maybe. This could of been the least talked about perfect game ever.
Damn Yankees keep winning, though.

not quite a perfect game but I see your point. Still i think we can understand whya lot of boston sports fans were distracted last night.
I agree. The infield hit he allowed was in the 3rd inning, so it's not like there was drama at the end. I switched back to the Sox game between periods and commercials. Plus, the game was over by 9:30. Only 2:20 for a Red Sox game!!!
Gas Man Papelbon, called in to protect a two-run lead, has just given up hits to the first two batters he has faced in the bottom of the ninth. Stay tuned...

Is there a difference? Here is a post from a Red Sox fan commenting on an article that purported to laud the Red Sox for their exceptional recent play in today's Boston Herald:
No way does Kemp win the MVP if the Dodgers continue to play mediocre ball.
LA is not exactly threatening the Giants and D-Backs in the NL West.
Because the rest of the teams sucks, should have no bearing on how well Kemp is playing
This is surprising:
Doesn't bode well for him to get another managerial gig when he quits like that....

He did the right thing. Nothing was working...his best pitcher and hitter on the DL. NOW, his leaderoff and more or less his 2nd best hitter on the DL.
In the end, the players did a complete 180 and more likely, he was gonna get blamed for it. Coming into June, they were 2 games behind Philly and 10 games above .500.
Their replacement...... some 80-year-old who hasn't coached since Nixon was in office!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wasn't this the year the Marlins HAD to build momentum since they will be moving into their new stadium next year? Tax payers must be miffed.
Q: What in the world happened to Hanley Ramirez?! Just a year or so ago, wasn't he supposed to be the next best thing in baseball?! Now he's barely sniffing a .200 batting average. In the NL.
My point was that career-wise it would have been better if he was fired, as opposed to quitting. Managers/coaches who get fired get re-hired all the time. Managers/coaches who quit usually aren't heard from again, at least in those prominent positions....
Right now, there is no other choice...especially when you are at the mid year point. And 2ndly, that 80 year old came in the midway point in 2003 and lead them to a World Series. Now I HIGHLY doubt that he can do that again...but some players need a serious ASS KICKING...and this old man can do it!
