Joe Posnanski Blog: Fenway and No Hitters Poz takes in a no-hitter (No, no...Dennis Paepke hasn’t become homeless and Poz provided a ratty pull-out couch for him). “It’s a shame he wasted that catch in a game like this,” my friend and writing partner Bob Dutton said. At the time, the Royals were down 5-0, thanks in large part to three consecutive walks by Luke Hochevar followed by a dropped infield pop-up by Mark Grudzielanek.

Strike zone silliness by Mike Fast May 21, 2008 Joe Posnanski says the umpire saved Jon Lester a walk. Did he really? Let me say up front that the silliness in this post is all mine. I'm not accusing Joe Posnanski of silliness. He's a great writer who wrote a good article about Jon Lester's no-hitter against the Royals, and I'm lifting things out of context when I quote him: The seventh was a key inning with Grud (the league’s leading hitter coming into the game), Alex Gordon and Guillen coming up.
