Half Armenian, Full Eagle
20 years ago today, Roger Clemens was pitching for the Red Sox when he pitched one of the most unbelievable and record breaking games in MLB History. For a pitcher to strikeout 20 out of 27 batters is phenominal and it hasn’t been broken since. If it does get broken, it would be amazing because I don’t think that there is a pitcher that will ever be better than Roger Clemens was.

In the world of hate, many think of the Holocaust when Hitler Killed Jews, Blacks and Gays. What about the Armenians? Why do people not think of the Armenian Genocide? The reason is that people don’t know about it and if they do not know than how can they feel the pain of the families.
A Quote from Adolf Hitler the Holocaust: “Who still talks nowadays of the extermination of the Armenians?”
“Our strength is our quickness and our brutality. Ghengis Khan had millions of women and children hunted down and killed, deliberately and with a gay heart. History sees in him only the great founder of States. What the weak Western European civilization alleges about me, does not matter. I have given the order – and will have everyone shot who utters but one word of criticism – that the aim of {translator: this} war does not consist in reaching certain {translator: geographical} lines, but in the enemies’ physical elimination. Thus, for the time being only in the east, I put ready my Death’s Head units, with the order to kill without pity or mercy all men, women, and children of the Polish race or language. Only thus will we gain the living space that we need. Who still talks nowadays of the extermination of the Armenians?”
The Armenian genocide was one of the most massive “root-and-branch” exterminations ever carried out against a defenseless people. In 1915, as World War I raged, the Turkish government (ruler of the Ottoman Empire) decided upon the systematic extermination of most of the male Armenian population, and the forced deportation of the remainder, mostly women, children, and the elderly. The deportation became a death march, with extreme violence and deprivation leading to the death of most of the survivors of the initial gendercide — as was intended. The Turks would sometimes rape the women in front of their children and kill them after. By the time the exhausted and traumatized survivors reached refuge in neighbouring countries, up to three-quarters of the entire Ottoman Armenian population had been exterminated.
What about taking a 2 month old baby and throwing them in the air and catching them on a Bayonet 
The Turks took the land away from Armenians and one of our greatest possessions is now in Turkey. Mt. Ararat was the tallest Mountain in Armenia. If you remember the Bible, Noah landed his ark on a Mountain and that mountain was Ararat.
I have all these stories that I want to share from my trip to Armenia, but I think that can be a post some other time
After a 3 run 1st inning, and then adding another run to the total in the fourth, the Sox were very satisfied with the way the game was going until the bottom of the fourth. Greg Zaun hit a 3 run homer to cut the lead by one and scared the Sox thinking it was going to be like 2 nights ago when they had the big lead and lost it.
In the 8th and 9th, the Sox added on two more runs as insurance. In the bottom of the ninth, the Jays were attacking and with the way this series was going, it was very doubtful if the Sox were going to be able to win. With one out in the 9th, the Jays grounded a double play ball to end the game.
Red Sox Record (12-7)
With the game on the line in the 9th inning and two outs, Jonathan Papelbon had the bases loaded with the Sox ahead 7-4. Damon Hollins hit a line drive to center field and with the sox in their no singles defense, Adam Stern was playing deep and had to run in and dive to try to make the catch. Luckily for Stern and the Red Sox, he made the catch and the game was over.
If Stern missed it, the ball would have rolled into the corner and it would have been close to a inside the park HR.
Red Sox Record (10-4)
