| | Wakefield Is On A Roll...Big Papi Is Tentatively Scheduled To Return On July 25...Boston 12 Baltimore 1 | | 2008-07-13 04:00:00 | | Tim Wakefield of the Boston Red Sox is on a roll...there's no denying it. Saturday afternoon at Fenway Park, he was nearly unhittable for seven innings, only giving up a third inning solo home run while allowing just two hits and one earned run. He walked one. It was vintage Wakefield at his baffling and beautiful best. Boston won the game easily by a score of 12-1. Here's what his manager had to say, as well as the man himself and ex-teammate Kevin Millar...“I think that’s actually the best I’ve seen him pitch,” said Francona, who had to leave Wakefield off the World Series roster last fall because of lingering back and shoulder problems. “He worked hard to stay where he is. When last year ended, and he wasn’t able to pitch, it was very important to him to come back and take the ball when it’s his turn.”“I was the beneficiary of a lot of runs scored tonight,” Wakefield said. “So that made my job a lot easier after the third inning.""He’s the most underrated pit | | By: Peter's Red Sox Forever | | |

| Red Sox Are Winners At Fenway...Again. Boston 9 Baltimore 2 | | 2008-06-13 04:30:00 | | The Boston Red Sox continued their torrid play at Fenway Park Thursday night with a 9-2 thumping of the Baltimore Orioles. Their home record is an MLB- best 28-7 and they've won 17 of their last 19 and 18 of the last 21 games at their home, sweet home. But their road record, 14-20, is uncharacteristically mediocre. Why the huge difference? That's something manager Tito Francona would like to analyze with his team as they head for Cincinnati on a charter flight. He said this before their departure last night...“We’re going to try and figure that on the flight because we haven’t figured it out very well to this point,” manager Terry Francona said. “I know our guys love playing here (at Fenway); you’d be crazy not to - the atmosphere’s maybe the best in baseball. But there needs to be more of an explanation than that, and hopefully we’ll figure it out. Because, ultimately, if we want to get to where we want to go, we’re going to have to play better on the road - but it s | | By: Peter's Red Sox Forever | | |
| | COLON Breezes To His Fourth Win...Boston 6 Baltimore 3 | | 2008-06-12 04:28:00 | | Members of Red Sox Nation and Red Sox International as well as Bartolo Colon himself all know that he belongs smack dab in the heart of the Boston Red Sox rotation. Wednesday evening at Fenway Park, in the Hub of the Universe, he smoothly sailed through a sometimes effortless-looking six innings, allowing only one run on five hits while whiffing seven. HE LOOKED GREAT! The Baltimore catcher Ramon Hernandez and Sox manager Tito Francona had this glowing praise for the righthander after the game..."Right now he's got a lot of movement," Orioles catcher Ramon Hernandez told Baltimore reporters. "He's got a pretty good two-seamer going on. He's around 93, 94 miles per hour, and if he wants to go higher, he's still got it. He's not easy to face. He pitches more; before, he was a power guy trying to blow everyone away. Now he's the guy that pitches around the plate and makes you swing early in the count. He has way more movement than he did before.""He's been tremendous for us," said manager | | By: Peter's Red Sox Forever | | |
| | Okie Dokie? NOPE...Baltimore 10 Boston 6 | | 2008-06-11 04:21:00 | | Hideki Okajima is somewhat of a puzzle this year, at least when he pitches against the Baltimore Orioles, who defeated the Boston Red Sox in comeback style, 10-6. After JD Drew and Manny Ramirez hit back-to-back home runs in the fifth, the Sox were up by a score of 6-4. I thought it might have been over. I was wrong. But it stayed that way until Josh Beckett, curiously NOT on top of his game again, gave way to Hideki Okajima, the Darkman (at least he WAS last year) to start the seventh (the seventh?). His numbers this year so far against every team BUT Baltimore include one home run allowed and an unbelievable ERA of 0.40. That's the Darkman we know and love! But against the Orioles, his numbers turn ghastly. He has allowed eight runs and nine hits and his ERA is a soaring 13.50. Yesterday, it was no different...the Birdies are clearly his Achille's Heel. In his 1/3 inning of work before giving way to the hot Manny Delcarmen, he allowed three runs on two hits and two free passes. It wa | | By: Peter's Red Sox Forever | | |

| | | Big Papi Out 4-6 Weeks...Baltimore 6 Boston 3 | | 2008-06-03 04:15:00 | | The Boston Red Sox suffered a double loss on Monday when they learned that their DH supreme Big Papi David Ortiz will be out anywhere from 4-6 weeks (or more) with a partially torn tendon sheath in his left wrist. If that sounds bad to you, well, it is. Sean Casey had this to say when he learned of his teammate's injury. Also included is a detailed description of what a "tendon sheath" is..."Man, those are your weapons, your hands are your weapons, your wrist, everything, those are your weapons," said Sean Casey, whose playing time is likely to spike with Ortiz headed to the disabled list.Ortiz is out with what the team is calling a partial tear of the sheath that keeps in place the extensor carpi ulnaris tendon, which governs the action of extending and adducting the wrist. That clicking sound Ortiz heard was the ECU tendon snapping over the bone because it had slipped out of its groove."Once you lose your hands, there's not much you can do," said Casey, who tore cartilage in the same | | By: Peter's Red Sox Forever | | |
| | MANNY'S 500th Home Run! Boston 6 Baltimore 3 | | 2008-06-01 04:30:00 | | It was a festive night at Camden Yards (Fenway Park south) in Baltimore Saturday night as the Red Sox defeated the Baltimore Orioles for the second time in two nights. The score was 6-3, good guys. When Manny Ramirez came up in the seventh inning, the many Sox fans in the stands knew that with one swing of his bat, baseball history could be made. The loud crack of bat against ball was clearly audible to all the lucky ones in attendance, and the ball traveled 415 feet to the right centerfield stands, right into the hands of a Red Sox fan who was gracious enough to give the ball to its rightful owner in exchange for a few autographed baseballs and bats. Quite a remarkable show of generosity and respect, if you ask me. Even Manny's wife was in the stands, and she was beaming. That the Sox won the game was just like icing on the cake. Sweet icing indeed, the kind that melts in your mouth with a blast of super sweetness. Here's what the MAN himself said after the game..."It was great, espec | | By: Peter's Red Sox Forever | | |
| | The Red Sox "Lucky 13th"...Boston 5 Baltimore 2...Contest Update | | 2008-05-31 04:34:00 | | The Red Sox must be very fond of the east coast of these United States. Last night, Boston defeated the Orioles in 13 long innings by a score of 5-2. Josh Beckett did not get the win, but he pitched a great, if sometimes wild, 6 innings, giving up 2 runs and only 4 hits while walking two and whiffing 10 (!!). He ended up throwing 118 pitches. And then it was the bullpen's time to shine. That's EXACTLY what Okajima, Delcarmen, Lopez, Hansen, Timlin and Jonathon Papelbon did, holding the Birds to those two runs. Timlin earned the win and Paps recorded his 15th save. Pheww...it's great to get a win under our belts - that west trip coast was PAINFUL!The offense was led by Mike Lowell, who drove in the eventual winning runs. He had three hits, as did leadoff hitter supreme Jacoby Ellsbury. Big Papi contributed two more safeties for Boston, but this game was "this" for so long. What is "this?" "This" is another weak offensive display by the Boston lumber, and I'm so glad a few players seem t | | By: Peter's Red Sox Forever | | |

| | | Bullpen IMPLOSION...Baltimore 6 Boston 3 | | 2008-05-15 04:25:00 | | This is getting old. FAST. For the third straight game, the Boston Red Sox staked themselves to a 3-0 lead, and for the third consecutive time, the Sox let the game slip away. To be more specific, the bullpen, in the form of Javie Lopez, Craig Hansen and Hideki Okajima, let the victory slip away. Lopez entered the game in the seventh inning and quickly recorded two outs. Freddie Bynum hit a grounder to Pedroia, but Pedey could not make the play. Runner on first with two outs...doesn't sound too bad, does it? Wait. Hansen was called in to relieve Lopez, and he allowed a single to the number 9 hitter, Quiroz, and a walk to Roberts to load the bases. Bye bye Hansen. Zero outs recorded...maybe you should consult Ah-nold again...soon! And then the Darkman was lit up like fireworks on the Fourth of July, a regular starburst cluster in the night sky.

| | Starting Pitchers Slumping Bigtime...Baltimore 5 Boston 4 | | 2008-05-14 04:38:00 | | The starting pitching rotation, which was so hot a week and a half ago, is anything BUT that right now. In four of the last six games, the pitching has allowed at least seven runs and ten hits. That won't help to win many ball games. And Josh Beckett, the Red Sox ace, was not even spared Tuesday night in Baltimore. The Orioles, after staking Boston to a 3-0 lead, their second in two nights, won the game 5-3. Josh Beckett allowed all five earned runs and surrendered a season-high eleven hits, the most of any starter this season. It was certainly not a vintage Beckett outing. He threw 97 pitches in only 5 2/3 innings and had this to say after the game..."The loss definitely goes in the right man's hand tonight," Beckett said. "It's pretty simple. I just didn't execute pitches tonight."That's a good wrap-up, Josh...pure and simple. The bullpen was just fine, thank you, but Boston just couldn't score when they needed to.

| | 5 Good Questions: Baltimore Ravens Edition | | 2007-12-14 13:29:54 | | It's time to once again hear from the opposition's point of view. This week, Rexx from Baltimore Beatdown joins us to answer my Raven-related questions. And as always, you can head on over to his site and see my responses to his Dolphin-related queries. I've been hearing that Brian Billick is likely to be back next season. Is this accurate? And if so, do you agree with the move to bring him back? Billick said he will be back earlier in the week and the owner, Steve Bisciotti confirmed it yesterday. Bisciotti said he doesn't hold Billick responsible, as he puts the blame on the overwhelming injuries and poor player performance (I thought the coach was responsible for this!). Unfortunately, Billick signed a four year $20 milllion extension after last season, and still has 3 years and $15 million left, so you can believe whatever reason you want. In my opinion, Billick has made so many poor calls in specific critical game conditions that I actually hold him per | | By: The Phinsider | | |
| | Baltimore Sun Takes Cheap Shot at Montgomery County | | 2007-11-08 00:00:00 | | Maryland collects more income tax from Montgomery County residents than it does from Baltimore City and Baltimore County combined, even though Montgomery has half a million fewer people. So it must be galling for Montgomery residents to read the Baltimore Sun's insulting dismissal of Montgomery's tax worries. Here's what the Sun wrote:The same Senate committee responded to complaints from Montgomery County lawmakers and capped the income tax on high-end earners at 5.5 percent instead of the 6.5 percent Mr. O'Malley proposed. They also largely eliminated any tax reductions for low- and middle-income workers. Considering how regressive the rest of the tax package is, that's outrageous. Legislators say they want a more progressive tax system, but apparently they also fear the wrath of the state's rich, many of whom live in Montgomery County.What O'Malley wanted from Montgomery wasn't 6.5% but 9.7% because unlike any other state, Maryland collects huge county income taxes.

| | Buffalo Bills vs. Baltimore Ravens: Open Game Thread | | 2007-10-21 15:14:31 | | 19 vs 14 FINAL SCORE Breaking Down the Ravens :: Baltimore Beat Down Update [2007-10-21 17:42:25 by Brian Galliford]: Whew. Just whew. With visions of the Monday Night Meltdown running through the collective minds of those of us watching the game, the Bills were able to hold on to a 19-14 victory over the Ravens today. We'll break down the pros and cons of the win later on this evening; for now, enjoy it, Bills fans! Happy Birthday to Me, Happy Birthday to Me... It's game day, Bills fans! When the Bills and Ravens kick off at The Ralph in 5 hours, you're going to want a place to discuss the game, right? Well, here it is - use this thread to discuss the events of the game, whoop when the Bills score, agonize when the Ravens put up points and curse out Steve Fairchild-Mularkey ("SF-M"). This is your thread today, so have at it! Here's what you can expect to see in this game: Bills on Offense: Memo to SF-M - a conservative game plan is going to get your Bills blown out, Coach. Baltimore is going to stuff the run, come out with some elaborate blitz packages and try to make rookie QB Trent Edwards beat them. That means 4-5 yard dump-offs and nothing beyond 10 yards won't get the job done. However, since I'm a realist, I'm expecting to see just that, at least early - the Bills will try to run the ball against the league's 3rd-best run defense, move the chains efficiently and control the clock. They may have success - but it's a formula for the Ravens to get up early. If that happens, the pressure will mount on Edwards and he'll likely struggle for the rest of the day - he's not the type of QB to lead a team from behind. Bills on Defense: An improving Bills run defense will face its biggest challenge to date in attempting to shut down former teammate Willis McGahee, the league's fourth-leading rusher. McGahee may get a blocker or two back today, as three Ravens linemen - tackles Jonathan Ogden and Adam Terry and center Mike Flynn - are all questionable for the contest. If the Bills are able to at least contain McGahee, it will put some pressure on QB Kyle Boller. That's the best way to beat this offense. Baltimore is a team that turns the ball over in bunches, so forcing a couple today would really help the Bills' chances. Baltimore always places heavy emphasis on ball security, so getting turnovers won't be akin to stealing candy from a baby, but it is possible to make plays against the Ravens. If the D can create short fields for Edwards and the offense, our chances of victory skyrocket. Prediction: I have a gut feeling about this one. The Bills are coming off of a bye week and are getting healthier (LB Coy Wire returns today), and they have the capability of beating a Ravens team that, at 4-2, is a touch overrated. The Bills need to win the turnover battle, keep McGahee out of the paint and make a big play on special teams. If it's a close game, there will be a lot of pressure on K Rian Lindell. I'm expecting a close contest either way - but this Bills team is due for a big win. I think they'll get it. Final Score: Bills 16, Ravens 13. | | By: Buffalo Rumblings | | |

| | | Baltimore's Bedard Bests Boston's Beckett | | 2007-08-01 12:18:00 | | It was a one man offense for the Boston Red Sox Tuesday night, as David Ortiz went 3 for 4 with two home runs and three runs batted in. The rest of the team? One Coco Crisp base hit. Period. That's it. No mas. Nada. If the offense doesn't come together, all the bullpen arms in the world will not help the Sox reach the post season. But with Curt Schilling coming back this weekend healthy and sound, we have to hope the bats will come alive. If they do, watch out!Right now Erik Bedard might be the best pitcher in the league, and he showed the Red Sox and the Fenway Faithful exactly that last night for six innings. The O's led from start to finish, and coupled with another Yankee slugfest win, the lead has shrunk to 7 games. But there are two months to go in this 2007 regular season, and the rotation and the 'pen are just too good to sustain any long losing streaks, as long as the bats can remain constant.

| | Baltimore Could Find Diamond in the Rough with Barnes | | 2007-06-25 21:06:33 | |
Ravens rookie outside linebacker Antwan Barnes created some buzz among Ravens coaches during the team’s offseason workouts. A fourth-round pick from Florida International, Barnes showed a relentless attitude on the practice field and in the weight room. He even was angry at himself when he took a small misstep during a walk-through. Barnes is expected to play primarily on special teams, but he could find a role as a situational pass rusher, much like OLB Terrell Suggs did as a rookie in 2003.
Barnes could be another solid linebacker from nowhere, picked in the late rounds of the NFL Draft by GM Ozzie Newsome and Baltimore. As seen with up and coming star Adalius Thomas (6th round, Southern Miss), Bart Scott (103 tackles & 9 ½ sacks, undrafted free agent from Southern Illinois), Edgerton Hartwell (4th round, Western Illinois), and now with Jarret Johnson (4th round pick), the Baltimore Ravens thrive in drafting and picking up productive outside linebackers that are un | | By: NFL GridIron Gab | | |
| | Is Baltimore a formidable Padres' foe? | | 2007-06-18 18:40:00 | | The Padres couldn’t be catching the Baltimore Orioles at a worse time for two reasons.The Orioles bring an eight-game losing streak into the three-game series opener Tuesday night at Petco Park, and Jake Peavy is pitching for San Diego.It sounds like the Orioles are getting the worst of it, but maybe not."The problem is, we’re getting our (butts) kicked," Kevin Millar said Sunday after Baltimore’s latest loss.If, indeed, Joe Girardi becomes the Orioles’ new manager, things may turn around right away. Girardi is definitely a butt-kicker, as he proved last season by nearly leading the Florida Marlins into the playoffs with his dictatorial style.The Peavy factor?Yes, he is the best pitcher in the National League. But he’s at his worst against poor teams ... especially in front of small crowds at home.Peavy suffered his only loss at home this season to the lowly Washington Nationals.
