Well guys since we last spoke a couple of weeks ago,  a lot of things have happened in my life including forgetting to schedule my Sunday blog on Saturday night. My friend passed away on the 11th, and we had his funeral Monday. Not a great week, but at least I can say I made it. I was wondering something though, what the hell has happened to the Boston Red Sox this year? As in Detroit, a big lead disappeared right before Bobby Valentine's eyes and with that pitching staff he has in place right now he had better get used to it........

I know most of you are Sox fans, and to tell you the truth I would be worried also. I have noticed that most of the starters have been pitching pretty good, but still a little on the inconsistent side. But your bullpen has been absolutely awful. There really is no excuse for blowing a 9 run lead by any team in baseball. But especially a team that is supposed to be challenging for their division crown.....

Hats off to the Texas Ranger's hitters in the first inning yesterday, they made him look like a high school pitcher. First 7 batters reaching base, and I believe it was 11 of the 14 batters he faced before Leyland mercifully took him out. I honestly have never seen anything like this, the Tigers were lucky they did not score more  than 8 runs in that inning, it was like they knew what was coming and hit everything in site......

Thank God for the reigning MVP and Cy Young award winner from last season, at least he could slow the Ranger's bats down enough to earn a split. 

Congrats to Philip Humber for pitching the 21st perfect game in MLB history, wasn't the prettiest or most effective 96th pitch but it got the job done. 

Finally before I go, hats off to Pekka Rinne, he played one hell of a series against the Wings in the first round. I could not believe some of the saves he was making when the Wings actually got a shot on goal. He was the reason they won, and if he can keep this up Nashville will go a long ways in the playoffs this season.......

Thanks for reading my post, sorry it was a little late.......
