UGH, two losses to Baltimore this weekend.

Buccholz was decent in his start. Just couldn't score any runs.

Porcello stunk up Fenway today :(

Sox need to get a #1 type starter ASAP.

Buchholz was lucky to give up only two earned. 11 hits and the O's had them loaded twice on him. He did make the big pitch though to get out of it both times. Porcello left Jones two meatballs. You think he would have learned his lesson the first time.

Buch was able to get himself out of trouble. Too bad the Sox couldn't score more runs for him.

Won the rain shortened game today. Didn't see it but heard Masterson pitched well.

Pitching woes or fielding?
We have one decent pitcher, one decent catcher, and one decent fielder... That's it! Don't even get me started on our batting woes. :(

And the head coach didn't even know that if the ball is hit to the left side of the field, the 2nd baseman covers second, and if hit to the right, the SS covers second. It's my season in hell!!!!

I felt like this with our softball team’s practice last night. Seems just about all the players forgot the simple basics... like covering a base on a hit. Luckily everything was said under my breath.

What position do you play? I could never play a team sport - I would either constantly be made at others for messing up or a guilty mess if I messed up... that's why I play singles tennis and golf....

I've helped coach a girls softball team for 6 years now, Spring and Fall ball. My youngest is their primary Catcher, and plays 2nd and SS. When I played organized baseball it was Center Field or Right Field. I was never all that good. When I played on company softball teams I was usually in the Outfield, 3rd or Catcher. I did have an uncle that played for over 20 years in the MLB (Athletics, Phillies, Senators, Twins, Dodgers, Indians and Yankees). Seems most of the talent went to that side of the family.

Nationals Win!

A squeaker as well, our closer (Storen) is as bad as our former closer (Soriano) - another long year, of either not making the playoffs or making it and going out in the first series.... we need a closer!
