Red Sox Almost Get No Hit At Fenway

So, B.I.L., I didn't watch the entire game because the dodgers were playing at the same time but I flipped back and forth between the angels and dodgers games near the end, and to my surprise the red sox were hitting like the dodgers. I tried to wake up Puck in the bottom of the 9'th but even Jacoby Ellsbury's dreamy face (she hasn't actually articulated what she thinks makes him hot) wasn't enough to wake her up. Thank goodness she stayed asleep because his strikeout swing was pretty ugly. Pedroia's hit to break up the no hitter was kinda ho-hum, but Youkilis' shot made up for it by going almost out of the park. Now onto some odds and ends from my game. Giants/Dodgers Observations: Puck and I both agreed that pitcher Jason Johnson, a journeyman, looks like the actor that plays the (going to spell this phonetically with a new england accent) Bay Hah-buh Butch-uuh on the showtime series, Dexter. Another interesting thing we noticed was a little black box on the belt area of his uniform pants. Puck finally came out with it and asked, "What's that black box thing on his belt?" At first I was just like, "I don't know. Looks kinda like a pager or..." then I say something very crude about a piece of his anatomy that he probably keeps in that box for emergency use only that I won't repeat. Puck blurts out, "Could be an insulin pump." and she was right. I had read about him being a diabetic with a pump weeks ago and forgotten about it, mainly because he's a sucky pitcher and I wish the dodgers played a better option like Hong-Chi Kuo. We also agreed that the new dodger, former indian Casey Blake, looks a lot like a meatier, more coordinated looking version of lefty pitcher Mark Hendrickson who once tripped and fell on the mound and went down in an awkward heap of legs and arms. Besides look-a-likes I don't have much. Cain, a power pitcher, didn't seem to have his best stuff. Still, the dodgers couldn't take much advantage because they really couldn't hit him. Cain started off with a fastball only in the high 80's. I kept noting it was odd because he usually sits around 92-93. But, come the 5'th or 6'th inning he got stronger and started coming harder with his stuff. Then he got knocked around a little bit. Wee-yud. There was one notably odd play in which a line drive was hit down the left field line and Lewis bobbled the baseball once he got to it and the ball went onto the wall separating foul ground from the seats with the fans. The ball rolled enough on that little wall and started to fall into the seats as Fred Lewis snatched it back up, threw it to home to catch Loney at the plate. After an ump convention, they ruled the ball deflected (it was a good call) and that Loney sores because he was already at third when the left fielder bobbled the ball into the stands. That probably wasn't worth your attention span to read but thanks.  Oh, and another blog points out that Casey Blake looks a lot like Gerald Butler from the movie 300...but I haven't seen 300 so you're going to have to check that out for yourself.
