Red Sox - 002 000 000 - 2 7 0Lester's (4-9-8-5-5, 99) bid to grab his 20th win of the season was short-lived.
White Sox - 101 420 00x - 8 11 1
Juan Pierre (3-for-4, 3 runs, 3 SB) scored in both the first and third. With two outs in the fourth, Lester walked Pierre and Alexei Ramirez before giving up a grand slam to Paul Konerko. Lester started the fifth by allowing a single to Ramon Castro and a home run to Dayan Viciedo, and that was the end of his night -- and his 2010 season.
Victor Martinez's clubbed a two-run dong that gave Boston a 2-1 lead for a few minutes. Marco Scutaro and Mike Lowell both singled and doubled.
The game was delayed for 21 minutes in the bottom of the sixth when most of the light towers went dark.

1976 - The White Sox's lineup against the Angels is in numerical order by field position: C-1B-2B-SS-3B-LF-CF-RF-DH. They lose 7-3.
1988 - Toronto's Dave Stieb loses a no-hitter with one out remaining for the second consecutive start. In his last start, a 1-0 win over Cleveland, he went 8.2 no-hit innings before Julio Franco singled to center. Tonight, Jim Traber bloops a single into right field, but Stieb gets the next batter and wins 4-0.

Is it OK to want Lester to get 20 wins even if you know wins aren't a good stat?
I was at the Giants game last night and am going Saturday. Is it OK to hope they don't clinch until Saturday, even though that could endanger their chances?
Both are okay!
I like Werner's US map made out of license plates.
Is it OK if I throw my students' papers into the recycling bin instead of grading them?
Fine with me. (Very responsible to recycle them than tossing them in a trash can.)
LOL! I love Zen's questions, especially the last one. I feel that way all the time....
CLEAN UP ON AISLE 3!
Is it OK if I look and admire Mike Lowell's dong when he shows it right here?
Looks like he didn't think it was OK so he refused to show it.
Career high in stolen bases for Juan Pierre. Cool.
Anyone have strong feelings about the spelling of okay/OK?
Where the hell does a word like OK come from anyway?
Fact: The only reason I wrote "OK" instead of "okay" is because you did, Zen. Normally I say "okay." Okay? OK.
some thoughts on okay
17 theories, okay?
actually, heidi, if lowell is retiring, then the sox do NOT have any decision to make on him.
I have to admit to baiting Allan into doing this research, as I decided to grade the papers before my 7:00 class instead of tossing them.
.877 OPS for Lowrie before the game started, compared to .716 for Scutaro this year...and .869 in Pedroia's MVP year.
Hrrrm.
How many plate appearances do/did those three players have?
Lowrie 159
Scut 629
Pede 653
I understand the significance of those numbers. It was a "Just sayin'" kind comment, but I don't like sayin' "Just sayin'".
that was not OK
nearly 40 pitches this inning
38, actually.
which is nearly 40.
Manuel in, on 20 days rest!
And he's throwing mid-80s. That must mean he throws mid-70s when used regularly.
fookin pierre
When was the last time we played a "game called on account of darkness"?
Delayed for electrical failure??
sox back on field, warming up, i think
@IanMBrowne: "One wiseguy in the press box just cracked that the White Sox are saving money for Konerko."
DOCTAH!!!!

"Will the Red Sox win another game in 2010?" That's now a legitimate question.
