The Red Sox stink.......stink

I'll be seeing the Triple-A Pawtucket Red Sox @ Charlotte Knight for the next three evenings. Hopefully I'll see some sign of hope for the future

Have the Red Sox been renamed by the people who decide to call Greater Birmingham the WMCA?

I got to meet Bill "Spaceman" Lee before the game. One of the great baseball characters

The Pirates beat the red machine and the umpires last night.  Atrocious calls all night, someone was paid off.

I don't profess to know anything about baseball but have started following it after doing a few bets on accumulators. I was watching the score of the Blue Jays/Athletics game with a keen eye as this was the last one in a five game roll up. Had me sweating I must admit. Do they often go into a tenth innings? And what the fuck is a walk off?

If the score is tied after nine innings, they keep playing until one team is ahead after each side has batted..

A 'Walk Off' normally refers to when a Home Run scores the winning run, ie the run scores and the players walk off the pitch

The 2015 non-waiver trade deadline is on 31 July and a few big names are or could be moving.

Johnny Cueto has already been traded by the Reds to the Royals.

It now looks like the Blue Jays and Rockies may be swapping their Shortstops (Reyes and Tulo)

A 'Walk Off' normally refers to when a Home Run scores the winning run, ie the run scores and the players walk off the pitch

and can only be done by the home team (batting in the bottom of the inning).

Nice way to stop a three game losing streak after we blew a 3 run lead in the 9th.

Tulo for Reyes swap confirmed
