More to report later on what's happening with the Red Sox; Adrian Gonzalez just hit a home run at 7:33 PM and the score is 2-1 White Sox...
Jon Lester looks good...he gave up a couple of runs in the first inning but he's looking good.

11:42 PM Johnny Speaks Saturday 5-21-11
The Red Sox had a very tough game tonight against the Cubs; one big inning for the cubs meant the difference. An 8 run inning by the cubs - which was made possible by three Red Sox errors - was the difference in the game.
They had a 3-2 lead in the 8th when all that stuff happened thanks to Tampa Bay losing today they would have been at least tied for first base with the Yankees, who also won. But, instead, the Yankees are a half a game ahead of us in first place.
I have some interesting stuff...stats between 1918 and this year. When the Sox and the Cubs met in the 1918 series...in the first game the teams scored a total of three runs combined; last night combined runs scored were twenty! Time of game in 1918 - one hour and forty-six minutes. Time of game last night, three hours and thirty-five minutes.
Attendance 1918 - 15,235
Attendance 2011 - 37,140
Price of admission 1918 - $1.65
Price of admission 2011 - 55.00 on average
Thanks to ESPN Baseball Tonight for the stats.
As another aside, Major League Baseball network - for the last two and a half months - has been doing a countdown once a week for the top 20 games of all time in major league history and the Red Sox make a number of appearances on this list. They is from the MLB website
#17 Game 4 of the 2004 ALCS Yankees / Red Sox Dave Roberts steals a base, Big Papi hits 12th inning walk-off game-winning run.
#11 1978 1 game playoff Yankees vs. Red Sox Bucky Dent walk-off home run for Yankees
#8 ALCS 1986 Angels vs. Red Sox game 5 ALCS, Henderson home run sends series back to Boston.
#6 Game 7, ALCS Red Sox v Yankees, Boone walk-off home run in 2003
#3 1986 Game 6 of World Series Mets vs. Red Sox Ball through Buckner's legs
#1 Game 6 of the 1975 world series, Red Sox vs Reds, Carlton Fisk 11th inning walk-off home run to end the game.
keep watching Sports Talk with Johnny the kid.

Big Win For The Red Sox Tonight
11:22 PM Big win for the Boston Red Sox they needed all nine innings and a good outing by the bullpen to get this win after only an 86 pitch outing by Josh Beckett.
And again the hero of this game (for the second time this week) was Carl Crawford, one of the newest members of the team - with a game-winning bases loaded single. That was a solid hit.
And now, get ready for THE CUBS as they make their re-emergence to Fenway Park starting this weekend. On Saturday night it's going to be a special night...THROWBACK NIGHT...the teams are going to wear the same uniforms they wore in 1918...the 1918 Sox uniforms and the 1918 Cubs uniforms will be worn by the two teams.
The only shame about this Cub's visit is that it doesn't come next year when Fenway celebrates its 100th Anniversary...that would make it even more special.
On Visual Radio Live on Friday night, May 20th, at around 8:20 PM on http://www.wincam.org I will be talking about The Red Sox and the Cubs games with updates, and a little bit about the current signing that took place tonight.
AND ...a very special announcement about an event coming up next week.
Breaking News: http://redsox.com The Red Sox tonight signed 36 year old pitcher Kevin Millwood.

10:41 PM John Byers Update
I'm sitting here watching the Red Sox / Yankees game being played in New York, which the Red Sox are currently leading 6-4. A-Fraud made a key error in this game to give the Red Sox a key run...full count on J.D. Drew. (Bases are loaded as J.D. drew a walk. Jed Lowrie struck out; out of the inning).
As we look ahead...it's going to get very interesting this week as bad weather is headed for the Boston area over the next four days. Despite the Red Sox having a huge homestand of 7 games coming up, any of the first four games could be postponed. We'll keep you posted. If the two games, Wednesday & Thursday night - against the Tigers, next week we could be looking at two doubleheaders as the Sox play in Detroit...potential doubleheaders on Thursday and Sunday afternoon.
TV Talk
They had two veteran announcers with John Miller and Joe Morgan - they seem to be going for a younger demographic, after 25 years of having those two guys they've started this year with this crew...Oral Hershiser, Bobby Valentine and Dan Shulman.
11:25 PM Johnny Speaks
Saturday night on Fox's broadcast of the Red Sox/Yankees game, Actress/comedia Sarah Silvermen was talking about the Red Sox success since winning the world series and commented on how she's used to being a loser...when rooting for the Red Sox...and with all the success they've had in the years since winning the world series. It made me angry. My response to Miss Silvermen is...HEY if you can't enjoy it, pass in your fan card. No Boston fan should be worried about losing anymore...we are winners. Look at the success we've had with our teams, except for the Bruins.
BARD GETS IT DONE, 8 Complete in the Bronx, Red Sox 7, Yankees 5. 11:27 pm

Get ready for SPORTS TALK
Johnny Byers Speaks 8:14 PM Wednesday night
Let's start with the Red Sox. "The Sox are a struggling team right now after their 6 and 5 homestand, and their o and 1 on the road currently with 4 games to go. Their in a game right now, down 2-1 in the bottom of the 4th to the Blue Jays.
The score of the Celtics is Boston 47 to Miami's 44...down in Miami.
That's the halftime report. And we'll be right back.
8:52 PM Adrian Gonzalez hit a home run to put the Sox within 2 runs of Toronto...Top of the 6th with two outs. Ortiz, Big Papi, just launched one...now it is 4-3 8:53 PM THANK YOU, DAVID!
The Celtics are up 68-66 against the heat at 8:53 PM. I'll be watching the Celtics game immediately after the Sox for more commentary.
______________________________________
We'll also talk a little bit about the Bruins as they are up against the Tampa Bay Lightning and it will be 19 years to the day since they last made it this far! In their history of getting to the conference finals they are o and 2. As they lost back to back seasons in 1990 /1991 season, and then the 1991/1992 season to the Pittsburgh Penguins in 7 games both years, after they were up 3/0 in the series and had a chance to put Pittsburgh away - they were up 5/0 both years in the 4th game...
They ended up losing the series in 7 games to Mario Lemieux
Celtics score now at 8:56 PM 73/71 Celtics over Miami at the end of three quarters.
_______________
As for the NFL...the league has announced if there isn't a settlement by mid-June they will start canceling games. Training camp usually starts in July, it wouldn't start until the end of July if the talks don't result in some kind of agreement.
