Whoaoaoaoa! BoSox rookie pitcher gets a no-hitter.

[WritingIsMyReligion]

Clay Buchholz just had only his second major-league start, tonight against the Orioles. He wasn't supposed to pitch, even, tonight, but Wakefield got hurt.

:rofl:::rofl::rofl:

1. That's one way to stop a losing skid N/T

[WritingIsMyReligion]

2. Indeed, indeed.

Still like 4 1/2 up on the Skanks, but that series was embarrassing, it was. :scared:

[Ekirh]

3. So embarassing . .

I havent' even brought it up to my Soxs loving best bro when he called earlier.

[WritingIsMyReligion]

4. Oh, I'm sorry, we're 5 up.

*phew*

Anyone know what the wild card race looks like? Skanks were second, last I heard, but how many games back in that regard?

:woohoo:

ETA: Nevermind. They're up 2 over Seattle. Damn them to hell.

5. Pretty good

And, since this is my first night living in my new Boston apartment, I pointed out to my mom that it all happened right down the street from me!

[WritingIsMyReligion]

6. That's cool!

Does your screenname imply that you are indeed new to the region? If so, welcome to New England!

7. Define new

I went to the University of Toronto for four years. I now plan to be here for at least two, possibly seven years. Wherever I go, however, the more I realize that Colorado is my home. Back in the day when I hadn't lived anywhere else, I didn't like that idea much. But now that I'm out and about, I realize that it's the only place I really know and understand (so far). Not that Toronto wasn't great, in fact it was a wonderful four years, and not that Boston won't be good too, but CO is the place for me. I say that even though I grew up in Dobbyville, I mean Colorado Springs, as a liberal Jew. I guess that's why I feel like I'm not having a real conversation with someone if they're not strenuously disagreeing with me :)

9. Haha!

I've lived in the same house in Maine all my life, so I know nothing but New England life. :D I'm sure in Boston you can find someone to argue with. ;)

[rockymountaindem]

18. I'd better

Otherwise you're going to have to argue with me.

8. Against the Orioles no less. Now there's a real accomplishment!!1!!

:shakes-head:

[WritingIsMyReligion]

11. I know.

The Orioles are just such a damn tough team this year.

:rofl:

Ah well. BoSox are crazy. ;)

[madinmaryland]

13. The O's are the classic loosers this year!

Most runs given up since 1897! and then they get no-nit!

LOOSERS!!!!

[SeattleGirl]

10. Wow! Good for him!

:bounce: :bounce:

[WritingIsMyReligion]

14. He's 22, and he was VERY well-spoken in his post-game interviews.

Most of these players sorta stumble around, but he was level-headed, as calm as someone in that position can be. All I can say is that this cat might not stay on the inactive list for much longer. :D

12. Check this quote

From the story after his first start Aug. 18:

"I got my feet wet," Buchholz said. "I hope I can come back in September and help out."

Neat hed on the Sox site, too:

Feat of Clay

:thumbsup:

[WritingIsMyReligion]

15. Hell yes.

BoSox!

Sounds like an interesting player, for sure. :D

[Oeditpus Rex]

16. And looks like he oughta be pitching for his JV team

[Mojambo]

17. It's all downhill from here. n/t

[mac56]

19. All three no-hitters so far this season have been in the AL.

Buehrle, Verlander, and now Buchholz.

What does it all mean?!
