I know none of you care but ........ (the Baseball thread)

Both teams burned thro' their bullpens and ended the game with position players on the mound.

"Position players"? Are we talking short-stops and othre fielders pitching? If so, wow.

[PeterWithesShin]

I always remember first baseman Mark Grace pitching in a blowout game some years ago. His impression of one of their proper pitchers was quality.

Four Home Runs in one game for Josh Hamilton

Just the 16th time this has happened in MLB history

There is still a long way to go, they will be in the mix after the All Star game.

Only 4 home wins? Where have I heard that before?

[UK Redsox]

And now the Red Sox turn to Scott Podsednik

What ? I guess that Benny Agbayani and Izzy Alcántara turned them down !

The Red Sox are warming up a little, the AL East is great entertainment.

[PeterWithesShin]

Red Sox keep winning. 

[UK Redsox]

Red Sox keep winning. 

Its taken a five game winning streak to get them back to just two games under .500. Now they have a more difficult run of games (Tampa, Philly, Baltimore, Tampa, Detroit).

Then its the 11 games that I'll be at:-

3x BOS @ TOR
3x BAL @ BOS
3x WAS @ BOS
2x BOS @ MIA (its a three game series but I'll only be at the first two)

Looks like Kerry Wood is set to retire after one more appearance for the Cubbies, probably for the best but what a player he was at his best.

Forget "Spahn and Sain and pray for rain", it was "Wood and Prior and what might have been"

I was at Wrigley for number four on the list................

4. Chicago Cubs vs.  New York Yankees; Kerry Wood vs. Roger Clemens.

It had the billings of a heavy weight fight. The entire series had a playoff-type atmosphere surrounding it. On June 2 2003 Clemens was going for his 300th career win. Wood on the other hand was going for his 50th. 

Wood along with help from an Eric Karros three-run homer and a big strike-out of Jason Giambi by Mike Remlinger the Cubs would go on to beat the Yankees and deny the Rocket his 300th victory.

He looks a good player but i'm not sure how many games he will get at 3B with Brett Lawrie ahead of him.
