Red Sox

Tonight I am going to the Red sox orioles game at Camden yards. I am a little disappointed that I missed Manny's 500, but its alright.

If you are an avid reader of my blog you know that I really like Jacoby Ellsbury. Worlds fastest human. Seriously. He could probably give a jaguar a good race. Anyway, he has stolen i think 27 bases so far this season, and 37 in his career. Its ridiculous. Lately he's been upping the game with about 3 stolen bases a game, which if he continues at that rate he will get about 80 stolen bases this season! Clearly i know that he probably will end up with more like 50, but its possible that he'll break all sorts of records on this. Keep an eye on that guy! Redsox's record was set in 1973 by tommy harper with 54 bases in a season...unfortunately Ricky Henderson has set the record in 1982 with 130 stolen bases in a season, and 1,406 in his career. Its jacoby's rookie year though, so he has time to break that record too.

Also Chris saabye saw many of the players in baltimore this weekend. Maybe I'll post one of his pictures later of mike lowell. The funny thing is that evidently Chris's mom asked Papelbon to take his picture with her and he said no!!! wtf. oh well.
