The Boston fans in the crowd here, and
there were thousands of them at Safeco Field tonight,

Congratulations go out to Jon Lester , who
revealed to Dan Roche tonight on WBZ (from Beckett
Bowl out in Malden) that he got engaged yesterday to his girlfriend of more than a year, Farah Johnson. Here's video of Jon talking about Beckett Bowl and ...
Jason Varitek hit a 2-run home run and
Jon Lester went 7 1/3 innings to help the
Boston Red Sox get by the hapless Seattle Mariners 4-0 in front of 37,861 at Safeco Field. The win puts an end a 3-game losing streak to start this road trip and ends their 5-game road losing streak.
The Sox have dropped three in a row.
Can Jon Lester stop the bleeding? Will the Sox
ever win on the road again?
Bottom Line: Goose bumps...

The Red Sox shutout the Yankees 7-0 in
the first game of the series. Lester pitched a
complete game shutout, giving up only 5 hits while striking out 8. Mike Lowell and Jacoby Ellsbury each had two RBIs in the game. Lester is the first Red Sox pitcher since Pedro Martinez, in 2002, to shutout the Yankees.

The Sox are halfway done with the regular
season and on a pace to win 98 games.
Here is how I grade the team so far. Starting Pitching: B+ Beckett, Lester, Dice-K, and Wake all have ERA's under 4. Masterson has pitched well in spot starts, Colon has shown he can be a good member of the rotation. Outlook for the second half: Buchholz looks like he is ready to rejoin the club, Lester has ...
The ESPYs are yet another in a long
line of award shows, that seemed to be created
in attempt to Hollywood-ize every industry possible... or at least those industries that people will tune in to watch awards shows for on television. But just because they're meaningless doesn't mean they're not fun to win. And the Red Sox are nominated in a bunch of the categories for the 2008 ESPY Awards ...

The Boston Red Sox needed Jon Lester to
be at his best tonight and help out the
beleaguered bullpen. Lester did that and then some as he threw a 5-hit complete game shutout as the Red Sox beat the New York Yankees 7-0 in front 54,677 fans at Yankee Stadium. The win for the Red Sox put an end to a 5-game losing streak.
Jon Lester walked the first two Yankees he
faced last night and, after a Bobby Abreu fielders
choice, the Yankees had runners at the corners with one out and the heart of the order up in the first inning. Lester then struck out Alex Rodriguez and ...
I wrote yesterday morning that the Boston Red
Sox needed to get a great outing from Jon
Lester. Well Lester did just that and more as he threw a complete game 5-hit shutout against a talented New York Yankees lineup last night at Yankee Stadium. Lester was just masterful last night. He had complete command of all his pitches, effectively mixing in cutters, sinkers, changeups and a 4-seam ...

players you should be buying or selling. Jon Lester? Believe it or not, it's time to sell. Ryan Braun? Grab him while he's hot!
There is no doubt about it, Jon Lester
has been the ace of the Red Sox staff
thus far. He has already thrown 2 complete game shut-outs (including a no-hitter) and 61% of his starts have been quality starts. There should be no debate about the excellence of Jon Lester. The true question is whether or not he can keep it up. This can be broken down into two sections, performance and stamina.
The Fenway Faithful watched a 9 inning pitcher's
duel last night... let's see if the Sox can

So this is pretty fun. In light of
Hiroki Kuroda 's masterpiece last night , I thought
it might be fun to look at the best Game Score performances in each league thus far in 2008. Lucky for us, ESPN tracks such things . Note that Kuroda shows up ...
