GameThread: Blue Jays @ Red Sox - 5/21/09
Toronto Blue Jays at Boston Red Sox, May 21, 2009 7:10 PM EDT
Two down, one more to go.
The Red Sox go for the sweep tonight against the AL East-leading Toronto Blue Jays. The Sox mashed their way to an 8-3 victory last night. Let's hope they can do the same thing tonight.
Your starters' stats:
Jon Lester hasn't been very good this season, but let's hope he turns it around tonight so the Sox can pull out the sweep. Lester has actually been better at home this season with a 6.04 ERA (6.93 on the road).

Cool
Grey Goose and Sprite has the acidity of like 2.2 No way I do that every or any night except like once a month. Not a heavy drinker, mostly wine. Not that I drink anyways.

Yep.
Most of which confuses the hell out of me. I already told you I wanted to learn German, but the teacher [no longer at school], so they put me in French.
It is better to learn German...
They are the masters of Europe, Berlin is pretty much becoming the capital of Europe… besides I run into Germans all the time from travelling..
German helps getting to know other Germanic languages like Dutch, Swedish, Danish and Norwegian..
If you are interested in learning German, go to the Goethe Institute website, (pronounce Gurt-ta) they can point to classes near you…

One thing about Lester that I can't figure out
Before he get diagnosted with cancer he was throwing the FB in the low 90s (91-92 and sometimes it goes up to 93) but since last year, the fasball is sitting in 95-96 range all game long!!! Very strange!
The only Red Sox fan in a country where nobody cares about basball!
Added muscle and maturity.
Remember he was only a kid when he was diagnosed. Kinda like a computer that re-boots when sick (virus) and comes back stronger and more powerful

Ever see that movie Rookie of the Year, with that kid who breaks his arm and then pitches better? Same thing.

Just watch films of Nolan Ryan, fastball pitcher get their strength (and durability ) from their strength in their legs, the Jonahtan Braxton of the world kind of wear out after a couple of years.

Southern California
Tommy’s
In-n-Out
In the Pacific Northwest
A&W
Dick’s
I will even put Dairy Queen, because they are in every small town in Oregon..
They aren't nationwide chains..
Anyway, I don’t red meat, and I don’t want to contribute to the insanity of the Cattle business, that is screwing up our natural resources..
Besides of my hippie ways...
Burgers are effing boring…
If I am forced to make burgers for a barbecue, I rather buy sirloin and ground it up..
I rather grilled salmon or fish for a house party..
You're not grilling them right.
Gotta add some spice, cook with different fire strengths for different lengths of time.
I know how to cook...
I also grow my own herbs, (no not those “herbs”) as I wrote, if I am forced to make burgers, I rather buy sirloin and make burgers out of that…
Burgers are really boring. I rather marinade coho salmon or king salmon when it is in season…
Much like the best food I ever had by far was in Japan.
salmon...thats pretty good too

Difference between NESN and YES
YES has the the overhead of the plate to see if the Umpire was close on his call.
Okay Lester...
Two more innings before giving it to Hunter and Ramon… Don’t Double Cheeser this!! (to keep to the burger theme)
Great game so far
Just got off work but have been following it via Twitter and mobile gameday. Lester looks sharp. Either that, or the Toronto offense just looks miserable.
