Wild Card Fever!
According to the website AccuScore.com, the Red Sox are the current favorites to take the American League Wild Card. Thanks to their recent surge, Boston is projected to win 89 games (actually 88.8), and would barely make it into the post-season. But, considering the start, it's amazing they are at this point today.
Lackey's Big Mistake
Now I remember why I never liked John Lackey. He's a whiner and a malcontent on top of being wildly over-rated. After turning in two stellar performances (kind of what we are paying him a king's ransom for), he had to create ill will in an otherwise upbeat and resurgent Red Sox clubhouse.After previously hinting at his displeasure about being 'skipped' in the rotation, he added fuel to the fire yesterday by saying he was "pi**ed off" at the slight. Really? Why, because we took advantage of a rain out to put far more competent pitchers ahead of him? Tough noogies, pal! When asked if he used the supposed slight as motivation, he shot back, "What do you think? What's it look like?'' Like his ridiculous salary isn't motivation enough?
I suggest that Mr. Lackey continue to pitch well and thank his lucky stars that he has a manager like Terry Francona, who even gives a crap about his inflated self worth. Because we, as fans, don't.

Youk Bruised, Not Broken
According to a report in the Boston Herald, Kevin Youkilis only bruised his leg on a foul ball last night—forcing him to leave the game early.
Gonzo Goes Disney!
Once again, it was primarily the starting pitching that led to Boston's second road win of 2011 (4-2 over the Angels). Josh Beckett hurled a no-hitter through 5 innings, and then made just one mistake to Torii Hunter (2-Run HR). Pitching allowed the Red Sox to hang around with 2 runs of their own (produced by a 2-out single by Jacoby Ellsbury) until the 11th.Then, with men on first and third, Adrian Gonzalez delivered his biggest Sox hit so far, a ringing double into the right-field corner to plate one. Dustin Predroia scored the insurance tally on a sac fly by Jed Lowrie. The Three Amigos in the 'pen (Bard, Jenks and Papelbon) were superb in closing out win number seven.
Salty On 2-Week Rope?
Hall of Fame writer Peter Gammons hinted that the Red Sox may be moving to a resolution of their obvious catching problems in two weeks. Speaking to WEEI, Gamnons correctly noted:"You just can’t have this on a championship team, especially when a big part of that championship team is built around power pitchers who are in a couple of cases struggling for their identity."
He went on to say:
"This is an issue that in the next two weeks is going to be addressed, and I don’t know which direction it’s going."

Cut It Out, Jeddie!
The Red Sox secured their first road win of 2011 with a 5-3 victory over Oakland today. Jed Lowrie continued his torrid April, clouting his third HR (a two-tun shot) to stretch the Sox lead at the time to 4-1. Kevin Youkilis and J.D. Drew also went yard and Carl Crawford got an RBI.Clay Buchholz went 5 1/3 OK innings, still throwing too many balls, but escaping with only one run (thanks to the bullpen).
Barcelona 0-1 Real Madrid Copa Del Rey Highlights - 20 April 2011
FC Barcelona will be taking on Real Madrid which will be a huge match and it will be interesting to see how these team react after the match they played on the weekend which virtualy crowned Barca the Champion of Spain and now it will be very very diffcult for Real Madrid to go out there and win the battle of the title against Barca who are leading the league table and with very few games to go I cant see them losing title this season so they are in a good position to think about other matches now.
FC Barcelona are playing real good football of late, and with Leo Messi hunting for his 50th goal of the season this is the perfect match where he can get the goal and make history as Barcelona might win the Copa Del Ray with the help of that goal. This is the 2nd match of the 4 to be played in the span of 19 days. This is the Final of the Copa Del Rey and now Barceloan will be hoping to get another title under their belt with Pep Guardiola being becoming one of the finest young coaches around.
While For Real Madrid this will be very crucial as they havent won a trophy apart from two league title they won couple of years ago and they will be eager to perform well and get their hands to the title in the Copa Del Rey Final Match. You can always tune in here to get the live action and the updates while we will also keep you updated with the team linueups and news buildup to the big final to be played on Wednesday.

'Start' Of Something?
There's no question that loss number eleven hurt. The Red Sox winning percentage slipped to .313—which would translate into a grand total of 51 wins.But, the Sox bats were stymied by the continuation of Brett Anderson's mystical string of success against Boston. And, truth be told, John Lackey had a heck of an outing—going 6 strong innings of one-run ball. This means that—if Clay Buchholz can pitch well this afternoon—all five starters will have shown that they are back on track.
Don't forget that both the 2004 and 2007 championship runs were fueled by lights-out starting pitching. They will need it again.

What to do with Dice-K
by Ric Glaub, International Editor, FenwayNationApril 18, 2011-Tashkent, Uzbekistan. Many years ago, I worked for a United States Senator. This was during the Watergate scandal. My boss, as Senate staffers usually referred to their bosses, was truly hurt by what he thought was an affront even a wound to and on America. Decades later, one of my strongest memories is late one evening my boss, leaning back in his chair and saying, perhaps to the two staffers in his office, more likely almost rhetorically, “what to do about Mr. Nixon?”
This is, of course, not entirely apropos, but I think I am not alone right now in leaning back in my chair and saying, “what to do with Dice-K?”
At a point at which many were calling for Dice-K’s head on a platter (myself included), he pitches an absolute gem. Seven innings, one hit, one walk, no runs and a totally economical 89 pitches. Go figure.
Where did that come from?
In most of the fan polls I’ve seen recently, including on FenwayNation, large majorities have been saying, trade him for anything they can get (which would be difficult, because he has a complete no-trade clause) or failing that just cut your losses and dump him in the Mystic River. Twenty million dollars down the drain, but he had become almost a joke and a very bad drain on the starting rotation.
Now this. Is it a one-time thing or might it be possible that he still has something left? Has he finally received a wakeup call? Dice-K apparently said after the game that he understood he needed to do something or perhaps he wouldn’t get another chance. Good thinking Dice. Before today’s game, I have to think the Sox front office was near pulling the switch and dumping Dice-K. Maybe, knowing that, Dice decided he needed to reach back into his inner self and find a way to pitch, or otherwise face shame and think about committing figurative seppuku, because of loss of face.
At the same time, it was only one really good outing. We’ll have to see and everyone will be watching whether he can become a consistent positive part of the Sox starting rotation.
He has almost certainly preserved his spot in the rotation for at least one or two more turns. It will be very interesting to see how he handles them.

Five And Ten: Satisfied?
Taking three of four from the Blue Jays over the weekend was a welcome change from what we saw earlier in April. Your Carmine Hose are now sitting at 5 and 10—better, but still a pitiful .333 winning percentage. To paraphrase 'The Wolf' character in Pulp Fiction, "Let's not congratulate ourselves too much".The real cause for optimism is the renaissance of the starting pitching—with Lester, Beckett and Dice-K turning in gems (we'll conveniently forget about Buchholz and Lackey for the moment). And, while the offense (or more precisely, Jed Lowrie) has also come around, there are still a couple of troubling issues with this team.
1.) First and foremost: Carl Crawford. His inability to find a comfortable niche in the order is screwing up multiple spots. J.D. Drew is now leading off and, let's face it, he shouldn't be. Jacoby Ellsbury has got be the permanent lead-off hitter—which might keep him from swinging for the fences so much (not that 4 HRs is a bad thing).
2.) Jarrod Saltalamacchia is just not cutting it—on offense or defense. Don't look to the Captain as a solution, though—he's actually got a lower batting average than Crawford! We need a real catcher until Ryan Lavarnway can inherit the tools of ignorance (maybe 2 years from now).
Kudos to Tito for committing to Lowrie—now let's keep him there for the duration. So, bottom line, "5 and 10" is a starting point as the team embarks on a very tough 9-game West Coast swing. Let's not get too comfortable, shall we?

Arsenal 1-1 Liverpool highlights Video - 17 April 2011
Two of the Premier League giants will be taking on each other for the big game on Sunday and it will be interesting to see how this match goes about as Arsenal are playing at top of their game this season while we have Liverpool who are struggling for form in the league since the start of the season and they have gone into the later part of the season a team possed to do well.
Arsenal on the other hand are not playing perticularly well as they have now got very little chance of catching United in the league for the title championship.

Bottom Feeders
The bottom of the Red Sox order drove in 6 of 8 runs as the Red Sox won back-to-back games for the first time this year, beating Toronto, 8-1. Jacoby Ellsbury launced a mammoth 3-run HR to right (way up into the seats) to push the Sox to a 4-1 lead. Jarrod Saltalamacchia—despite dropping four strike threes in the game—knocked in three runs to "salt" away the win.Jon Lester was good, but not great, going 6 innings and yielding only one earned run. He went to 3-2 on what seemed like every hitter, however, and was helped by two spectacular double plays.
Felix Dubront was painfully ineffective in relief, but Daniel Bard, Bobby Jenks and Dan Wheeler closed out the win in decent fashion. If the Empire loses tonight, we're only 4 games out of first place.

West Bromwich 1-3 Chelsea Highlights Video - 16 April 2011
In the next match of the premier League we will have West brom taking on Chelsea in what will be a huge match to be played on 16th April 2011. Chelsea have had a poor season of their standards, the season which starting very well for them turned into nightmare as the mid of the season came when Chelsea struggled big time and went on to go 8 matches without a win and that was they time when they not only surrender the lead at the top of the table but also got themselve knoked out of the other competitions.
Even with the big signing of Fernando Torres in the winter break could not help them get back to winning ways, infect the $50 Millions signing has yet to opne his account in temrs of goals from chelsea and it has been more than 3 months since he joined them. His form is big concern but what is interesting is the performences of Anelka and Drogba both of them started the season in prime form but all of a sudden they lost their touch which resulted chelsea getting off track and now no where near what they wanted to achieve or they should have achieved.
From now to the end of the season they have some big games and this is one to look forward to as they will be looking to end the season on a high although some of their big players do not look motivated enough.

90 More To 100!
All those prognosticators might have been right. Only instead of 100 wins, the Red Sox are well on their way to 100 losses. In yet another inventive way to lose, they took a 3-0 lead—thanks to HRs by Pedroia and Youkilis—and managed to squander it by means of more bad pitching. Tonight it was Clay Buchholz, would could not go more than 5 innings, and gave up the three runs to tie the game. But the prize for futility has to go to Bobby Jenks, who coughed up 4 more earned runs in just one-third of an inning. Final score, 7-6. Mercy. Record: 2-10. Double mercy.
Castiglione Calls History
While we don't like borrowing ideas from those in the Empire, a recent spate of "John Sterling Calls History" Tweets were very funny. It gave us the idea of creating a similar line of Tweets for our own beloved Joe Castiglione.You can take a look at our first tweet HERE.

Gonzo Inked To Deal
The song and dance is over. The Red Sox will avoid a hit on their luxury tax. CSNNE.com's Sean McAdam reports that Adrian Gonzalez and the team have agreed on a seven-year, $154 million deal (to be announced at a press conference today). OK, now, can we get to .500?
Sox Rich With Draft Picks
As a result of the departure of Victor Martinez and Adrian Beltre, the Red Sox will have five of the first 81 picks in June's 2011 MLB Draft. The Sox will pick 19th and 26th in the first round, 36th and 40th in the 'sandwich' round, and 81st in the second round.
De Facto Demotion Of Lackey
Aside from the obvious benefit of not losing again, the rainout also provided Terry Francona with a politically-correct way to demote John Lackey to a lower spot in the rotation. By skipping the inneffective righty (15.58 ERA), Tito can now start the Toronto series with much better options—Buchholz, Beckett, Lester and, yes, even Dice-K. Lackey will start the West Coast swing on Tuesday—far from the booing faithful on Yawkey Way.

Tottenham are a team on a high this season and they made some memorable comebacks in the league as well as Champions League but this match and the deficit is too hard to cope and will be unlikely to see them in the Semi Final.
