Japan has a rigorous exam system for incoming university students. Uehara did not pass his exam. He spent the next year studying in advance of retaking the test. "It was a very difficult year," he said, "because I had to study all the time."

To make ends meet, he said through Matsumoto, he took the job as a security guard. Baseball? "I wasn't even playing at that point," he said. "My dream was to teach."

But he did read Ryan's "bible," and from it picked up some weight-training techniques that paid off in added strength when he entered Osaka University of Health and Sports Sciences, and returned to playing.

"My college was not really a baseball school," Uehara said, "so the manager told us just choose whatever position you want to play. The last year in high school, I pitched five innings and I thought it was fun. I thought pitching would be fun."

The MLB clip of Iglesias's catch, three different calls. Love the second one from WXYT. Half-second before he catches it: "Iglesias on the run, he won't get there..."

eh, okay he's fast. i'm still trying to get over this one: http://wapc.mlb.com/play/?content_id=29653669

Fenway fans convinced that routine grounder was gonna score 2

forced to hear BuckCarver tnite

i just realized that i don't have fox??

home plate ump is crazy tonite

Tim YOU SHOULDNT GET PITCHES LIKE THAT BECAUSE THEY ARE BALLS

givin gifts to a pitcher who looks like he played Junkie Mugger in every episode of "Kojak"

update: i have fox

i see we've played a scoreless inning and a half in an hour, good job everyone

blame buchholz

all games are like game seven, pretty much

jonny gomes gives the red sox lineup 'a different look' than it would have with daniel nava, a better hitter, in it

game hasn't been on that long it start an hour ago now. all the other stuff was pre-game.

wow scherz

wowww pedroia missed that by 6 inches

hard to tell how much, maybe a foot

As much as I'd like that to be a HR, this whole delay to review is just stupid

hope avila gets workmens comp

it was like 2 minutes. they could just have a replay official in the booth to speed things up i guess

cannot handle buccholz hair in HD

MLB rules require a pitcher, with no one on, to deliver the ball within 12 seconds of receiving it. Buchholz is taking 18-22 seconds.

man, avila should try catching the ball in his glove instead of with his face, imo

Finally, a quick half-inning.

9 pitches!

buccholz hair looks clean here, friend thinks he's doing a foreign substance thing, prob greased his hair w lugnut juice

these guys are just copying chase utley

jonny gomes, two singles and six strikeouts in 14 plate appearances

uh oh

tigers are done here

that throw was worthy of Johnny Damon

really, no one can hit a cheap Pesky Pole HR off the Wet Look?

Prince up this inning!

that Miggy-Prince double play they turned earlier was the fattest I've ever seen

saw buccholz touch his hair, that was a full grope. Grossssssss

must be killing leyland to not bunt torii over here

if i see that "turn it off jeremy" ad 1 more time i swear to christ

wow

Morales seems to be unfamiliar with the strike zone

get this scrub off the mound

2 runs score

red sox are done here

lol

next year on Fox: Joe Buck & dayo

Having rah-rah'ed Cabrera lots on here, my first thought was "Please don't get thrown out at the plate."

I know the prospect of a Cardinals / Red Sox Word Series is the height of boredom for ILB
but I think Erin Andrews said it best
and we can all agree that

#BOSTONSTRONG

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

brutal

Hilarious
