My twitter is full of late night post with rants and rave about Boston Red Sox (mostly rants, since they are not playing too well). Sox are out in West Coast for 10 game trip and so far they are 3 and 3 after 6games. They have lost 6 of last 10 since the All-Star break. John Lackey’s near no-hitter as nearly lost and Jon Lester was pitching perfect game till 6th then the Sox blew up and lost, too.
The story that I came across that was interetsing this week: 13-year-old girl from Plant City Florida, Chelsea Baker, is dominating her little league. While in the younger league, she became friends with Joe Niekro and uses fastball and knuckleball (Niekro’s pitch) She is undefeated since 2006 and have thrown 2 perfect games. Amazing story.

- Great that @TylerKepner mentions 2 Japanese players in this ARods 600HR story: Katsuya Nomura 657 & Sadaharu Oh 868 http://nyti.ms/aCJvge #
- All I can say is if we had Dustin Pedroia, game would've been over in 9th, bases loaded double play. Win is a win. I guess. At 2 AM #RedSox #
- Hideki Okajima! Gets out of major jam. It was one out bases loaded in the bottom of 12th. Phew! #RedSox #
- In case if you are wondering, #RedSox is 3 and 8 when the game goes into extra innings this year. #
- Wow. Tie game. Can you believe this???? #RedSox #
- @toeingtherubber Haha! Yes. I have a Japanese account, @DaigoRedSox and that post slipped in… but yes that is basically what I said. :) in reply to toeingtherubber #
- Just a few munites ago, it was a near blow-out game with no-hitter into 8th inn. Now, one home run away from blowing the lead. #RedSox #
- Remember Daisuke Matsuzaka took the no-hitter into 8th innning in Philadelphia May 22? That was 2 outs in the 8th, too. #RedSox #
- Just realized Hisanori Takahashi and Hiroki Kuroda are pitching against each other in Chavez Ravine. they both have 7 wins, so is Daisuke. #
- WHOA ICHIRO! My favorite player robs a home run from my favorite team. That was going to be David Ortiz' 19th home run, instead, its a F9. #
- So, game is over. Oakland wins 6-4. #RedSox drops 10 of last 14 games. 7 games behind Yankees, and 4.5 games behind Rays in WC. *Grumbles* #
- Interesting story about 13-year-old girl in Florida dominating her little league. w/nice "Women in baseball" sidebar http://es.pn/aslkwt #
- RT @MikeSilvermanBB: Pedro won't pitch in '10 but he is not retiring. He's 'wide open' to pitching in '11 http://bit.ly/5A1NIY #RedSox #
- RT @GlobeBizEditor: Kenmore CITGO sign to go dark from Friday til baseball playoffs. Sign, 45, to get earth-friendly lights. #redsox #
- Crap. Buccholz gives up 2-run homer to Jack Cust. 3-1 OAK. He has only allowed 3 HRs in 15 starts coming in, but that is 2 today. #RedSox #
- Adrian Beltre had 2-out RBI single in the 1st inn. He is now hitting .405 (17-for-42) with 2 outs, RISP situation in 2010. #RedSox #
- Another extra innings loss for #RedSox .. should have gone to bed. I knew it. 5-4 bottom of 10th. #
