August 11 1907: The Cardinals Ed Karger throws a perfect game against the Boston Doves in the second game of a doubleheader. The game was shortened to 7 innings by prior agreement which was commonplace at the time. This is the only abridged perfect game or no hitter that was not shortened by weather in the history of the game. After missing 6 weeks‚ first with broken ribs‚ then a thumb broken in a fight with a butcher's clerk‚ Ty Cobb signs a new 3-year contract and returns to the Tiger's lineup on August 11th, 1914. Cobb would play in only 97 games that season‚ but would still go on win another batting crown hitting .368. Under existing rules his 345 at bats were enough to qualify. Where have you gone Joe DiMaggio? August 11th, 1950. Hitting just .279 and languishing in a 4 for 38 slump, Yankee great Joe DiMaggio is benched for the first time in his career. His replacement‚ Cliff Mapes‚ gives the Yankees a 7 - 6 win over the A's with a mammoth 7th inning homer.1979 Phillies's reliever Tug McGraw surrenders an 8th inning grand slam to the Pirates' Ed Ott as the Bucs win 14 - 11. This would be the 4th grand slam McGraw gave up that season setting a new National League mark and tying with Detroit's Ray Narleski who did it in 1959. The Cubs paraded out 10 pitchers in a 17 inning, 10 to 8 loss to the Pirates on August 11th, 1985. This game is the continuation of a contest that started on April 20 but was suspended because of darkness. Barry Jones‚ the winning pitcher who struck out the side‚ and Barry Bonds‚ who drove in the game-winning run‚ were both in the minors when the game started. The losing Frank DiPino started the season with Houston. August 11th, 2009 Boston's 7 - 5 win over Detroit at Fenway Park is marred by a brawl in the 2nd inning. When Kevin Youkilis is hit by a Rick Porcello pitch, he charges the mound and both benches empty. Both players are ejected, and Youk's replacement, Mike Lowell, hits two home runs to power the Red Sox to victory.

Joe Frisaro entertains Former MLB player and American Heritage Skipper Bruce Aven. Now retired and serving as AD, former state (FL) and national high school champion (2002) gives insight into why South Florida is king when it comes to baseball. From his beginnings of running an academy under a speed ramp in a parking garage to producing MLB rising stars Tristan Casas (Red Sox) and Brandon Barriera (Blue Jays), Bruce is quick to give props to both their individual work ethic and the tough competition they play (Elijah Green, Sal Stewart, Andrew Painter). As he states, "all of these guys are good ... and they work". Listen as he chronicles the evolution of pitching preparation and how he believes we may be coming full circle with hitting mechanics... moving away from an overload of mechanics and back to teaching baseball. Mike Lowell, Alex Fernandez, Alex Gonzales are just a few former big leaguers that are on the South Florida baseball scene that Avens mentions. Hang on until the end and hear about the antics of fellow Lamar University HOF Kevin Millar and a late career trade involving Bruce that helped kick start a young minor leaguer named Chase Utley. A 30th round draft choice that made it to the bigs in 3 years is unheard of- just one of the things that makes this guest something special.

The Red Sox drop 2 of 3 games to the Yankees to open up the season, and it only proves that as expected, the Yankees are a little bit better.

Alex feels a lot better, as the Red Sox are now riding a 3 game win streak. Alex goes over this series against the Tigers at Fenway Park, and talks about how hot Jason Bay, Mike Lowell, and even JD Drew are, and why that's a key for this Red Sox lineup. Alex again mentions the fact that David Ortiz and Jason Varitek are no longer everyday players, and are devaluing the team by being in there every single day. Alex also gets on Kevin Youkilis for charging the mound on Tuesday. It's understood that baseball can be a game of emotions, but you have to control yourself, and realize getting yourself suspended can only hurt the team. Alex previews the big weekend series in Texas, recaps the AL East and Wild Card races, and talks about Pedro's return, the White Sox claim of Alex Rios, and the ongoing, but soon ending negotiations with the Nationals and Stephen Strasburg.

It's episode 300 of "Without a Curse!" Thanks to all for the participation in the show, and a big thanks to the executive producer, Dylan Richardson. But that's where the congratulations end, as the Red Sox were just swept by the Tampa Bay Rays on the heels of a four game series in New York against the Yankees. Alex has some concerns about the back-end of the rotation, and states that the Paul Byrd signing means that the Red Sox share his concerns, and also may not be confident about the status of both Daisuke Matsuzaka and Tim Wakefield, at least before September 1st. Alex also states that he feels Terry Francona may not be fielding his best lineup, as Jason Varitek is playing the bulk of the games at catcher, while Mike Lowell sits out. Alex thinks that Victor Martinez should catch the majority of the time, with Kevin Youkilis at first and Mike Lowell at third. Plus, Alex comments on David Ortiz, and says that the time has come for Ortiz to make a statement. Because the longer this thing drags out, the more dragged out the story becomes. Ortiz should have spoken in either Baltimore or Tampa Bay. Though the environment won't be dangerous, waiting until New York to have to address it was still a poor decision on his part. The "post of the day" is handed out, and Alex goes "Around the League," where he further previews the Sox and Yankees series this weekend, and rips on the Reds' lack of organization plan. Plus, the Brewers are imploding.
Alex speaks with Rob Bradford of WEEI.com, as Alex and Rob recap the Red Sox's 1st half, and preview the early portion of the 2nd half by forecasting the Mike Lowell injury and some of the other storylines that may play a role in the coming weeks. Alex and Rob also talk about the value of Tim Wakefield making his first career All Star team. Alex also recaps the 4th of July weekend series against the Mariners, and why though the offense may go through its ups and downs, the pitching staff is too deep and too good to allow the Red Sox to go into long losing streaks. The "post of the day" is handed out, and in the "Around the League" segment, Alex rants on fans voting for All Star Game starters, and sportswriters who are upset because Manny Ramirez receive an overwhelmingly positive reception over the weekend in his return from suspension. Alex also makes some "bold predictions," and runs down all of baseball's divisional races as the 1st half comes to a close. Post on the boards at www.thesportspodcasters.com/boards! The next edition of "Without a Curse" will be on Monday 7/20!
