Major League Baseball 2008

I'm frustrated with the Phils lack of consistency. 44 games in, and they've only swept one series - a 2-game set at Colorado. It seems that of the smattering of teams I looked at, they've each swept at least one three-game stand.

It's hard to string a winning streak together if you can't even win three straight. Am I asking too much here???

Of course, maybe I could be overstating things - at least they haven't been swept yet.

Jon Lester of the red sox pitched a no hitter against the royals last night. Allowed two walks and made one error. Normally I wouldnt consider it a no hitter when a team makes an error but the error was a pickoff attempt by Lester himself when he threw the ball over the head of 1st baseman, youkilis, so thats not a big deal.

Not bad huh? Second year in a row that a sox pitcher threw a no hitter.
