Game #69 of the Season

LA Dodgers(CPU) 3 @ Boston(ME) 2

The Dodgers grabbed an early 2-0 lead on a solo HR by Andre Ethier and an RBI single by Manny Ramirez who was welcomed back to Fenway with a chorus of boos from the crowd (great touch by SCEA). Chad Billingsley had his best stuff, taking a no-hitter into the 6th inning and allowing just 2 hits in 7 innings of work. Marco Scutaro drew a walk to start the 6th and Jacoby Ellsbury broke up the no-no by wrapping a line drive around the Pesky pole in RF to tie the game 2-2. Casey Blake hit a solo HR in the top of the 7th to give LA the 3-2 lead. Jonathan Broxton pitched a perfect 9th inning to earn the save.

The Red Sox are now 37-32 on the season

Game #70 of the Season

LA Dodgers(CPU) 3 @ Boston(ME) 9

The Dodgers grabbed a quick 1-0 lead in the first inning on an RBI single by James Loney. Fustin pedroia would tie it with a solo HR in the 3rd. Boston went ahead for good on a Scutaro RBI single in the 4th inning and then the Sox exploded for 6 runs in the 5th to make it 8-1. Mike Cameron had a 2-run HR and the Red Sox chased Clayton Kershaw from the game before he could record an out in the 5th inning. Kevin Youkilis would add a HR in the 6th inning. James Loney went deep for LA in the 8th but the Dodgers couldn't make it interesting. Josh Beckett pitched well and earned his 10th win of the season.

Game #72 of the Season

Boston(ME) 4 @ Colorado(CPU) 2

The story of this game was Jon Lester who pitched hell of a game against Ubaldo Jimenez. Lester did not allow a base runner until the 6th inning and took a one hitter into the 8th inning. The Red Sox took a lead in the first on an RBI double by Dustin Pedroia. Marco Scutaro would drive in a run w/ a sac fly in the 4th inning and Kevin Youkilis mashed a 2-run HR in the 5th to power the Red Sox offense. Jonathan Papelbon pitched bottom of the 9th to pick up save #23 on the season.

Game #74 of the Season

Boston(ME) 5 @ Colorado(CPU) 2

Daisuke Matsuzaka mixed all of his pitches and kept the Colorado hitters off balance as he pitched 6 strong innings. Matsuzaka also pitched in with an RBI on a safety squeeze bunt. Marco Scutaro led the Red Sox offensive attack with 2 doubles, 2 walks and 3 runs scored. The Rockies were able to get a run off Papelbon in the 9th and got the tying run on base and the go ahead run up to bat, but Papelbon was able to retire Clint Barmes on a fly ball to CF to end the game.

Mike Cameron was injured and left the game - he has been placed on the DL w/ a broken shin and will be out 1 to 2 months.

Game #75 of the Season

Boston(ME) 3 @ San Francisco(CPU) 4

The Giants jumped out to a quick 1-0 lead in the top of the 1st inning on an RBI triple by Pablo Sandoval. The Red Sox exploded in the top of the 4th against Matt Cain for 3 straight HR's as Adrian beltre, JD Drew and Jeremy Hermida went back to back to back to give Boston a 3-1 lead. Beltre's HR was the deepest one I have seen all season as the ball traveled 488 feet and cleared the stands in LF. Josh Beckett was outstanding once again as he allowed just 1 run over 8 innings of work. Jonathan Papelbon came on to pitch the bottom of the 9th and attempt to close it out with a 3-1 lead. Papelbon retired the first 2 batters with ease and then gave up 4 straight hits to blow the save. Edgar Renteria delivered the game tying single for the Giants. The game went to the bottom of the 10th and Aubrey Huff hit a walk off HR off of Daniel Bard on a pitch that was at his shoe laces to give the Giants a dramatic 4-3 win. This was a crushing loss for the Red Sox.

Game #76 of the Season

Boston(ME) 5 @ San Francisco(CPU) 3

The Red Sox offense had their home run swings working for the 2nd day in a row as they hit 4 HR's in the game and now have 7 HR's in the first 2 games of the series. The Red Sox got solo HR's from Marco Scutaro, Adrian beltre and Darnell McDonald to give them an early 3-1 lead. The Giants made it a 3-2 game in the 5th inning and that would remain the score until the top of the 8th when Jeremy Hermida hit a 2-run pinch hit HR to give Boston a 5-2 lead. Daniel Bard would get the call in the 9th due to Jonathan Papelbon being fatigued. The Giants would push a run across with 2 outs in the inning but Bard would get the final out and pickup the save. The Giants threatened in just about every inning of this game but the Red Sox kept getting out of jams with minimal damage all game.

Darnell McDonald homered for the 2nd straight day after being called up a few days ago fue to Mike Cameron's injury. The Red Sox were leading 2-1 in the top of the 7th when they loaded the bases and got RBI base hits from Dustin Pedroia and Kevin Youkilis to increase the lead to 5-1. Juan Uribe went 4 for 4 with 4 singles for the Giants. Manny Delcarmen pitched the 9th in the non-save situation to finish the game.

Re: TNKNGM MLB10 All-Star Realism Sliders

I have reached the mid-way point in the season and the Red Sox currently have a record of 46-35. The Red Sox trail Tampa Bay by 6.5 games in the AL East and currently trail Minnesota by 1 game for the AL Wild Card.

AL East Standings
Tampa Bay....52-28
Boston.........46-35 (6.5 GB)
Baltimore......42-39 (10 GB)
New York......40-40 (12 GB)
Toronto........27-55 (26 GB)

STATISTICS
STARTING LINEUP
Jacoby Ellsbury.....74 GP, .306 Avg, 4 HR, 18 RBI, 9 2B, 0 3B, 17 BB, 22 SB
Ellsbury has been terrific at leadoff and done his job well all season

Dustin Pedroia......79 GP, .267 Avg, 7 HR, 35 RBI, 14 2B, 1 3B, 20 BB, 2 SB
Pedroia has struggled at times, I'm looking for a big 2nd half from him

David Ortiz..........71 GP, .213 Avg, 9 HR, 29 RBI, 11 2B, 0 3B, 12 BB, 0 SB
Ortiz has struggled and is hitting .172 on the season w/ RISP

Kevin Youkils.......69 GP, .279 Avg, 13 HR, 48 RBI, 9 2B, 2 3B, 10 BB, 1 SB
Youkilis got off to a terrible start to the season but has performed very well over the past 50 games

Victor Martinez.....73 GP, .265 Avg, 7 HR, 30 RBI, 16 2B, 0 3B, 14 BB, 3 SB
Martinez numbers are a little off but he has been heating up recently

J.D. Drew............52 GP, .328 Avg, 7 HR, 20 RBI, 12 2B, 1 3B, 7 BB, 4 SB
Drew has spent time on the DL - when healthy, he has performed very well

Adrian Beltre.......69 GP, .248 Avg, 7 HR, 17 RBI, 12 2B, 3 3B, 6 BB, 0 SB
Beltre couldn't buy an RBI in April and May but has been hitting well in June

Mike Cameron.....59 GP, .250 Avg, 10 HR, 27 RBI, 14 2B, 2 3B, 12 BB, 2 SB
Cameron has spent time on the DL. His power numbers have been good when healthy

Marco Scutaro....70 GP, .273 Avg, 5 HR, 25 RBI, 12 2B, 2 3B, 20 BB, 3 SB
Scutaro has done what was expected at the plate, he has made some key errors in the field that have contributed to some losses

RESERVES
Jeremy Hermida...52 GP, .247 Avg, 11 HR, 39 RBI, 5 2B, 0 3B, 3 BB, 0 SB
The unsung hero of the team - Hermida has hit for power and been an RBI machine when in the lineup. Hermida has really come through with Drew and Cameron both missing games due to injuries

Mike Lowell........37 GP, .265 Avg, 3 HR, 14 RBI, 8 2B, 0 3B, 2 BB, 0 SB
Lowell has been OK when he plays - he had a huge pinch hit walkoff HR earlier in the season

Bill Hall.............37 GP, .262 Avg, 2 HR, 5 RBI, 4 2B, 0 3B, 6 BB, 1 SB
Hall has been solid when put in the lineup, but he belongs on the bench

Jason Varitek....28 GP, .281 Avg, 5 HR, 13 RBI, 8 2B, 0 3B, 3 BB, 0 SB
Varitek has performed quite well as the backup catcher
