GAME NOTES: Clay Buchholz locks horns with the Orioles and Jeremy Guthrie. It seems like Buchholz keeps facing the Orioles. Of course, he has that no-hitter… but the Orioles have also bombed him unrelentingly. Although Buck looks like he can be our No. 3 in the playoffs, every start is still a test.
A few years back, I was introduced to a simple site on the Internet that gave me a different and useful lens on the baseball season. Doug’s Stats (www.dougstats.com) looks much like it did the day I stumbled on it in 2003. It hasn’t gotten a Web 2.0 facelift, there are no fancy charts or running commentary. In fact, most of the stats can be gotten from any sports site with a “stats” tab in their MLB section. But there was one link on the front door of Doug’s home on the Internet that grabbed my attention.
The Los Angeles Angels didn’t want to leave Fenway without at least one win for the trip home, as the AL West leaders beat the Red Sox, 4-3.
A wild pitch in the seventh tarnished an otherwise solid start for Josh Beckett. Jacoby Ellsbury and Jason Bay brought the lumber, but to no avail, as the Sox fall to the AL West leading Angels.
