The Red Sox need the pep talk from Major League II:

OK, we won a game yesterday. If we win today, it's called "two in a row". And if we win again tomorrow, it's called a "winning streak"... It has happened before!



500 IN the division is fine. 500 against the rest of the league will get them in trouble.

That always amuses me - hey two of something - wins or losses - happens, let's call it a streak or a trend or a slide ... way to hype everything, folks!

Okay, just putting this out there - if the Red Sox were gonna have a 9-game losing streak, I am glad it is happening in May, and maybe we can avoid one happening in September/ And yes, I do think 9 games does justify the term streak. I was disappointed they lost tonight's game in 15 innings. Close doesn't count, folks.

The statistics and terminology they come up with in baseball ALWAYS amuses me... My dad and I make up our own statistics "Adam Wainwright has a 12-2 record of throwing strikes against left handed batters who are wearing red socks and orange helmets". I mean, some of these things are ridiculous haha.

Whew,
What is in the water at Dodger Stadium?

--------

June's Playboy has an article/oral history about the Bosox. It's taken from the perspective of a handful of people - fans, writers and players. It was fun to read.

---------

In April I was able to go to an open house at Slugger Field, the home of the Red AAA farm club.

We got to walk thru the facilities and the into the dugout/clubhouse. During the tour I saw two signs in the dressing room that outlined the 'rules' about behavior in the CH, the dugout and on the field.
Some of the rules are common sense (Don't hit a player with a bat) to the kinda funny (Don't yell at the umpires).

Anyway, I would love to have a set of them for the man cave and was wondering if anyone had any info regarding who prints them, if they are available for purchase, etc.

I tried to contact the team and didn't get an answer back, I contacted the baseball HOF and they couldn't help me - I am going to email the office of the MiLB, but in the mean time I thought I'd try to ask the fans here on PT if they had any leads or info.

Thanks!

I got a weird call last night.


A Florida Area Code?

It was a call from the Bosox dugout, They were running out of managers and wanted to know if I was available.

They were in Boston light night, silly! Yeah, it was entertaining seeing who they would place as manager next! I was very surprised Price was not ejected after his second hit batsman of the night.

And frankly, Mr. Price, if you are going to pick a fight with someone, it may not be smart to do with someone who is 6' 4" and 250 pounds - you may be 2 inches taller, but that does not make you a "bigger person" now, does it?

I was laughing too hard at the highlights to notice.....sorry.

The CoolaCoo was probably next in line anyway?

Don't tell me Fenway don't have them?
