| Jon Lester, The True 2008 Boston Red Sox ACE...Boston 12 Oakland 2 | | 2008-08-03 04:23:00 | | Jon Lester, on the rebound trail from a successful and complete recovery from cancer, pitched seven strong innings to lead the Boston Red Sox to a 12-2 victory over the light-hitting A's of Oakland. After a tough 2 run first inning and a visit from pitching coach John Farrell, Lester settled down wonderfully and improved his career record to 13-0 in his 13 starts when he has pitched seven innings or more. Not bad, Jon. Right now I consider him the true ace of the pitching staff. Overall, he is 10-3 with a sparkling 3.14 ERA. The A's almost had Lester on the ropes in the first inning, an inning that he gave up four hits and two runs. But it was "shut 'em up and shut 'em down" time after that, and he proved he was up to the task, only surrendering three hits the rest of the way. Masterson pitched a clean 8th and Chris Smith did the same thing in the 9th and final frame. Lester had this to say after the festivities..."I had a rough first inning and guys come out and swing the bat really | | By: Peter's Red Sox Forever | | |

| Jason Bay And The Red Sox Over The A's in 12. Boston 2 Oakland 1. Mike Lowell Injured...More Manny | | 2008-08-02 04:18:00 | | It was a big night for Jason Bay, Tim Wakefield and the Boston Red Sox bullpen as the home team defeated the visiting and light-hitting Oakland Athletics by a score of 2-1 in twelve innings. The winning run in the bottom of the 12th was courtesy of a Jason Bay triple and, eventually, a Jed Lowrie single, scoring the newest Red Sox player. And the entire team came to embrace him. Here's what he thought...“Having met these guys eight hours ago, everybody’s been extremely positive,” Bay said. “You jump around with those guys, I felt like I’d been here all year. We were like little kids.”And here are his thoughts about the celebration, Boston style, at home plate...“I didn’t really know what to do,” he said. “It was all new to me. It was very flattering.”Peter here, and that was a really sweet moment. The hitting stars, other than Jason, were Kevin Youkilis with his three hits and Pedey Pedroia and JD Drew with two each. I can't leave out the clutch Jed Lowrie, who lo | | By: Peter's Red Sox Forever | | |

| Super-Streaky Sox Swept Swiftly...Oakland 6 Boston 3 | | 2008-05-26 04:14:00 | | The 2008 version of the Boston Red Sox has already established itself as a very streaky team. You know, win three, lose three, win five and then promptly lose five. It's getting to be frustrating! They were swept by Oakland's superior pitching Sunday afternoon as they bowed to the A's 6-3. That superior starting pitching for Oakland was plainly evident in all three games, and right now, the A's are a hot team, as they should be with that kind of rotation. Blanton bested Lester convincingly, pure and simple. Jon recently learned that his father has developed some form of cancer, what is thought to be a treatable form of the dreaded too often deadly disease. He was asked if the news of his father affected any of his mound preparations. Here's what he had to say...“It hasn’t,” Lester said when asked if his father’s condition had weighed on him. “I’ve always been out in the open. I just haven’t told you (media). I don’t want to get questions about that. I want to get asked | | By: Peter's Red Sox Forever | | |
|
| A Duchscherer Gem For Oakland...Oakland A's 3 Boston Red Sox 0 | | 2008-05-25 03:55:00 | | Justin Duchscherer joked before the game that he was going to "pull a Lester" and pitch a no hitter. And he came darn close to doing it. A Big Papi David Ortiz one out single in the seventh inning and a sixth inning hit batter ('Tek) were the only blemishes in his eight innings of stellar work. This is what Red Sox manager Terry Francona and opposing pitcher and tough-luck loser Josh Beckett had to say after the game...“He commanded every pitch he threw tonight,” Red Sox manager Terry Francona said. “His command was phenomenal. He did not throw one pitch without a purpose. He kept us off balance. Other than David’s hit and his line drive and Youk’s line drive, we couldn’t do anything.”“It was unfortunate someone had to lose it,” Beckett said. “We don’t have many games like this, period. For what this offense does on a consistent basis, no one has a right to complain about run support.”Peter here, and I ain't complaining about ANYTHING! Josh pitched more than we | | By: Peter's Red Sox Forever | | |

| Oakland Jumps Wakefield's Bones...A's 8 Red Sox 3 | | 2008-05-24 04:48:00 | | For the second time in his last three starts, Tim Wakefield allowed seven runs in a game, and the Red Sox seven game winning streak is now merely a part of history. Oakland defeated Boston 8-3 and handed Timmy his third loss of the year. His record is even at 3-3, but he has only had one standout start, an eight inning beauty. It didn't take long for the A's to take command, scoring three runs in the first and four runs in the third. And with Rich Harden on the hill for the home team, there was no way to come back from such a deficit. Terry Francona had this to say..."His stuff is as good as anybody in the league," Sox manager Terry Francona said of Harden, who is 3-0. "He gets into some fastball counts and he doesn't give you a fastball. We've seen him too much. We don't need to face him every other game. I hope he's not going to come back and pitch Sunday."Peter here, and yes, Harden is THAT good, at least when he pitches against us, and NO, he will not be pitching on Sunday.

| A Sweep in Oakland | | 2008-04-03 10:37:00 | | The Red Sox took both games in the short series in Oakland yesterday with a 5-0 win over the A's, and have started the year at 3-1, as they begin a three-game series in Toronto tomorrow night.Jon Lester (pictured), had a fine outing, as he allowed no runs in 6 2/3 innings, allowing just three hits while striking out three. He showed better command than he did in Japan, although he walked three. The pitching was really solid in Oakland, as the Sox allowed just one run (a home run by Jack Cust) in 18 innings. David Ortiz finally got out of his early season doldrums with two hits and a two-run blast to right that gave the Red Sox the lead. At first it looked like a game the Sox were going to give away, as they left the bases loaded twice, and 10 men on in the first six innings. But Papi's homer proved the difference.Jason Varitek has come alive in Oakland, and added a home run in the ninth.

| The Phinsider Community Mock Draft: Pick #4 - Oakland Raiders | | 2008-03-19 11:36:51 | | With the third pick in The Phinsider Community Mock Draft, the Atlanta Falcons select Matt Ryan, QB, Boston College. Ryan received 68% of the total vote. Glenn Dorsey was in second place, with 21%. So now the draft looks like this so far: Miami Dolphins - Chris Long, DE, Virginia (49%) St. Louis Rams - Jake Long, OT, Michigan (67%) Atlanta Falcons - Matt Ryan, QB, BC (68%) Up next, with the 4th pick, are the Oakland Raiders. For all of your Raider needs, including news and insight, check out Silver and Black Pride. Below are the Raiders' draft needs, according to NFL Draft Countdown: 1. Defensive Line: Depending on where the choose to play Tommy Kelly, who they grossly overpaid for in free agency, they will either need find a stud pass rusher at defensive end or defensive tackle. 2. Offensive Tackle: Either Kwame Harris or second year pro Mario Henderson will hold down the old fort at left tackle (they hope) but Cornell Green leaves much to be desired | | By: The Phinsider | | |
