Randy Johnson needs to go to pitching school after that 3-run home run by Milwaukee's pitcher. The Yankees new stadium is exactly the same as their old. The only difference is cushioned seats.
Thanks for posting this Mike. I wanted to do it myself, but couldn't bring myself to do it. I listened to Harry Kalas call Phillies games for close to 40 years. I can't imagine someone else doing it. For those who don't know his voice, try to find some clips. He's priceless. In the words of that other immortal Phils broadcaster, Richie Ashburn, "Hard to believe, Harry" RIP
for some sound clips try here, for anyone who doesn't know his voice. Harry Kalas Sounds and Sound Bites
It is so rare to see a steal of home by anyone in recent years that I am definitely glad that game was on ESPN so that a lot of us could see it. Ellsbury will win a few SB titles in the next few years. That's certain!
No one has stolen home since 1999, but that was a double move. This was all on his own. That made the game for me.
I didn't want to create a thread about this....Since this is a Red Sox thread. We all have noticed the dramatic decline In David Ortiz's numbers.... And I think this guy has a good explanation as to why.Bill Simmons - It's hard to say goodbye to David Ortiz - ESPN The Magazine
Not to take away from Ellsbury, but Jayson Werth stole home for the Phillies this year, only after stealing second and third to do it.
Well, it's the All Star break and let's see . . . who is leading the AL East with the best record in the AL???? Hmmmmm . . . . that would be the Red Sox! Great game today. Becket looks like he has regained the form he had a few years ago. It will be nice seeing 6 Sox players in uniform on Tuesday for the AL!
Is it just me, or did the Royals look like little leaguers in the first couple innings last night!? How the heck did we let them score 9 runs?
Grew up in Lynnfield, lived in Newton when I was at BC and BC Law and then lived in Cambridge. Now I am in Florida. Red Sox Nation is strong in Florida so it is not such a bad place to be!
