When Josh Beckett stomped off the mound after the fourth inning, he sure looked mad about something. Perhaps Beckett was realizing that he is done pitching against Atlanta for the balance of the 2009 season. Beckett (9-3) stopped the Braves cold, again, this time with seven shutout innings, six hits and six strikeouts as the Red Sox beat the Braves, 8-2. Beckett pitched 16 scoreless innings against Atlanta this year. Hideki Okajima and Jonathan Paplebon closed the game out. Both were adequate, at best, as Paplebon served up a home run to someone named David Ross, who exists and played eight games for Boston in 2008.

Tampa Bay managed to scratch together a 10-inning, 7-6,...

Jerry Remy summed it up perfectly last night: "Both are terrible." The Rem wasn't talking about the play on display Saturday night at Petco Park in San Diego (although at times, he wouldn't have been far off), but was discussing the throwback uniforms worn by the Sox and Padres last night. Memo to both teams: burn those uniforms now. It looked as if "The Wizard of Oz" had thrown up all over Petco Park. Boston...

YouTube is still up and running and we're searching out some sweet copyrighted materials before Google really gets involved and forces some of it to come down. This week we've been hitting replay clip over and over trying to learn some new words to We Didn't Start the Fire thanks to bunkosquad. Take a look back at sports in the eighties in a five minute intro clip from the CBS 4 montage intro for their retrospective show "The Great 80's" – if we find the rest of the program we'll let you know. If you've somehow forgot the 80's in Boston sports have your memory jogged by images of Cam Neely, Bill Buckner, and of course Larry Bird in the short shorts.
