June 7, 1984 - The 700 Club

Game #700 - Milwaukee Brewers, 0 @ Boston Red Sox, 12

I can't believe it, but we've reached 700 games played in this Statis Pro season.  It took a little over six years to get here.  The closer to the all-star break we get, the more momentum I feel like I'm gaining.  It also means the season is approximately one-third complete.  The thought of this taking another twelve years, though, is quite daunting...

Speaking of daunting...the Boston Red Sox offense!  Nobody scored until the bottom of the fourth.  That's when the Red Sox scored three runs off a homers from Rich Gedman and Bill Buckner.  They added SIX more runs in the fifth, including Gedman's second fence-clearing of the game.  Meanwhile, Oil Can Boyd pitched a complete game shutout.
