Four!

SWweeeeeeeet!

Isnt it interesting they hit 4 consecutive HRs off a pitcher who was traded for Curt Schilling (who retired today) in 2003?

Poor Dusty, haha. Lowell is sounding great and it seems he's getting his timing back quickly. Can't wait until the Sox see the Yanks for the first time in the regular season and Teixeira goes 0 for 4 and Lowell smacks a game winning homer.

who was the the other pitcher?

Five
Five walks by Large!

"only two pitches have ever given up four straight home runs"

Which pitch was that? Fastball or curveball?

Ironic that you start your post with "Read this carefully"

"four consecutive home runs in the regular SEASON once before"

On the day Curt Schilling retires, the Red Sox hit four consecutive homers off Brandon Lyon, who was traded by the Sox for Curt Schilling. Baseball poetry.

"Which pitch was that? Fastball or curveball?"

You . . . DO understand they are typing away at this during the game, do you not?

Cut 'em some slack.

So this is proof that Boston is a second-rate city. The newspaper's website has two major typos, and a lack of information. Congrats, guys.

harris...that proves it! all this time we were worried about what would tip the scales of boston being second rate. fortunately we have Harris the Brilliant waiting in the wings to point out the precise moment we would step into mediocrity. i feel so fortunate to have read his/her wisdom. i'm forever grateful for this outstanding analysis.

..So now ol' Bloody Sock can devote his full attention to the RNC and the hope for a '12 Run With Sarah!
And how about this: did anybody notice that the 11 Sox hits yesterday were hit by 11 different players? When do you suppose THAT was last achieved?
STATS BUFF

If Boston is a second rate city because of it's newspaper, then god help the rest of America.

Because the newspaper industry as a whole is the Titanic hitting The Iceberg Ahead...

But thanks for playing, Harris.

Is there a reason Youk came out after 1 AB? From what I heard he was supposed to get a couple ABs, did something go wrong?

get 'em carter!

Paul Foytack of the Los Angeles Angels gave up four home runs in a row on July 31, 1963, in the sixth inning of the second game of a doubleheader against Cleveland. One of those homers was hit by Tito Francona, the father of current Red Sox manager Terry Francona."

I really, really, reqlly hate the term, "back-to-back-to-back-to-back."
It's not actually possible.
How about "Four successive."
A little less chiche.

What? Mikey Lowell has HR's in consecutive days? Who woulda thunk it? Gimme a break! Like I've been stating, since the fall, a healthy Mikey Lowell is the best option the Sox could possibly have at 3B. Look for ML to have better stats than that guy who plays first for that team from ny.

Second-rate city based on what? Education? Medicine? Sports? Need more info.

Oh yeah, and while you're researching, shoot yourself you pompous NY clone.

@14: 0 for 1 + 1 BB equals two plate appearances, which was what he was supposed to have.

It's actually a sign of respect. New Yawkas used to consider Boston a THIRD-rate city. After, I guess, San Fran or Paris or something.
