... If the Red Sox were to go .500 for the rest of the season they would have 92 wins (technically 91.5 wins). The Yankees would have to go 71-41 (a .634 winning percentage) just to tie the Sox. Only two teams have a winning percentage of .634 or better right now - the Red Sox (.706) and the Mets (.660). Of course the Red Sox won't go .500 for the rest of the season... Alex Gordon is still struggling for the Royals. The highly touted rookie is hitting just .185 with just 3 HR and 8 RBI. I wonder if Gordon is still on anyone's fantasy baseball team? If Gordon was playing the way people thought he would - I wonder if the Royals would be willing to trade former 3rd baseman (now rightfielder) Mark Teahen who is still just 26-years old and who could garner a top pitching prospect if traded...

... Upon landing, the first thing I noticed was the fact that all the luggage guys had on their Red Sox hats. Actually, pretty much anywhere you looked, the entire weekend, there were Bostonians donning their Red Sox hats, jerseys, T-shirts, etc. At first, I thought it was because the Yankees were in town, but I later found out that it was always like that in the city. You could overhear people having conversations about the game and “STRAY-ROD” (their name for him, not mine). The city was buzzing baseball and that made me happy. We checked in and walked to a restaurant and watched the game on their TV. This was Friday’s game when Scott Proctor was thrown out for throwing at my fellow blogger Kevin Youkilis’ head. You could almost feel the energy through the TV.

Hinske's bases-loaded triple and Dustin Pedroia's two-run double led the Red Sox to a 7-3 win over the Rangers. Hinske was a late addition after Kevin Youkilis was scratched with a sore left quadriceps during batting practice.

Banged on most of the season by fans, Drew raised his ALCS average to .381 (8 for 21) with a 3 for 5 night, and picked up five RBI to boot. The Red Sox also received key contributions from the following -- none of which are named Manny Ramirez or David Ortiz (although they did alright, too): --- Scrappy Doo -- aka, Dustin Pedroia -- came up big, getting on base three times with a walk, a single and a double -- and he had a third hit hijacked by a beautiful play up the middle by Asdrubal Cabrera, as well. -- Kevin Youkilis, the big ugly himself, stayed hot, finishing 3 for 4 with a walk, two runs and a RBI. His ALCS average is now a team-leading .478, thankyouverymuch, something I'm betting you won't hear on his blog today . -- Jacoby Ellsbury may have only picked up one hit last night, but it was a key blow in the third inning that made the game 6-1.

Youk Discusses Japanese Baseball

Youk has revived his blog and has several posts from Japan. Today he wrote about baseball in Japan: Hanshin threw their best pitchers at us. They're good players and it was a close game. I don't know if all the hitters on that team could hit consistently at the Major League level. That would probably be tough. They don't like the hard heat. It's just a little different, because, I think, the pitchers here also pitch different. I was watching a baseball game here today and they use a lot of offspeed pitches. They use their fastball a little bit, but they really focus ...
