Boston Unable To Break .500 Barrier Again

Teams	1st	2nd	3rd	4th	5th	6th	7th	8th	9th	Runs	Hits	Errors
Rays	0	0	0	1	0	0	1	0	2	4	9	0

Rays highlight: One homerun
Rays lowlight: Four men left on base
Red Sox highlight: One homerun
Red Sox lowlight: One throwing error

My Comment: I'm back at my favorite New England sports living bar for the first time in over a month. Andrew is here and I saw him make his first Bloody Mary since the bar received its full liquor license a few days ago. New times at the old place. The other Sunday Red Sox regular, Rich, isn't here today.
First inning - no score
Second inning - no score
Lunch - Bangers and Mash
Third inning - no score
Fourth inning - Rays score one run (error by Gonzalez), Red Sox score no runs
Fifth inning - no score
Sixth inning - no score
Seventh inning - Rays score one run, Red Sox score three runs (Gonzalez homerun)
Eighth inning - no score
Ninth inning - Rays score two runs (Rodriguez homerun), Red Sox score no runs
The Boston Red Sox still have not broken .500. The question becomes will they be able to do it by the end of May? And what are the ramifications if they can't?

Rays highlight: Two runs in the seventh
Rays lowlight: Four men left on base
Red Sox highlight: Walk-off homerun
Red Sox lowlight: One fielding error

My Comment: For the second day in a row, the players in the Boston Red Sox dugout ran onto the field in the ninth inning. However, instead of protecting a pitcher from the Rays, it was to congratulate a catcher on a winning homerun. And for the fourth time this season, the Red Sox are at .500. Will tomorrow be the day they break that barrier and have a winning record?

Diamond Defined: Dead Ball To Dugout

From the 2006 book, The Official Rules of Baseball Illustrated, by David Nemec, I will present Rule 2 of the Code - the definitions of baseball terms - over the course of the 2012 baseball season. Today’s terms are: Dead Ball, Defense/Defensive, Double-Header, Double Play, Dugout

Dead Ball – a ball out of play because of a legally created temporary suspension of the game.

Defense/Defensive – the team or any player of the team, in the field

Double-Header – two regularly scheduled or rescheduled games, played in immediate succession.

Double Play – a play by the defense in which two offensive players are put out as a result of continuous action, providing there is no error between putouts.

Dugout/Bench – the seating facilities reserved for players, substitutes and other team members in uniform when they are not actually engaged on the playing field.

My Comment: The Boston Red Sox winning percentage for the current road trip is .625; however they still haven't broken the .500 wining percentage for all games played this season. As they return to Fenway, let's hope they have the same success as they did on the last homestand. Need to break the .500 barrier!

My Comment: I was planning on going to my favorite New England sports living bar today to watch the game, but a running event put all the bus transporation on detour and from past expereince I know that getting to the bar would have taken forever and completely annoyed me. However, I am not annoyed by the outcome of the game. The Boston Red Sox win the rubber match of the series and end up being the only American League East team with a victory this Sunday. How sweet is that! Next stop for Boston is Baltimore.

And speaking of Maryland, I'd like to give a shout out to Matt and Becca, the son and daughter-in-law of a college friend, who travel from that state to watch the Phillies play Sunday home games. Now that's the way to support your team. And in other Boston/Philadelphia sports news - the Celtics and the Sixers are tied at two games apiece in the Eastern Conference Semifinals. Go Celtics!

My Comment: Good Red Sox momentum for taking on the Phillies for three games beginning tomorrow. Interleague play has arrived and I always enjoy seeing potential post-season matchups during the regular season. If Papelbon makes an appearance or two during the series, let's hope he's lacking his good stuff.
