Yankees - 010 004 100 - 6 12 2The Yankees blew three leads today -- and dropped back to 13.5 GB. (Yeah, Friday was a spark. Pfft.)
Red Sox - 001 202 51x - 11 14 0
According to Fox, the Yankees have blown leads and lost in 6 of the 11 games they have played this year against Boston (overall they are 4-7). And from the 7th inning on in those 11 games, the Red Sox have outscored them 31-8.
The Sox got five in the 7th today -- thanks to a leadoff double from Ortiz, three walks from Proctor, singles from Crisp and Pedroia (who was 3-for-5 in the 2-hole), a sac fly from Lugo and two errors from Jeter.
But Mike Lowell was the star of the game, walking in the 2nd, singling in a run in the 4th and them ramming into Cano between first and second trying to break up a possible double play, hitting a solo home run to start the sixth, and doubling in a run in the 8th. He also made some nice plays at third, starting inning-ending double plays in the 5th and 6th, and making a bare-handed grab-and-gun in the 8th, retiring Cabrera.

Mike Mussina (5.86, 72 ERA+) / Curt Schilling (3.68, 121 ERA+)
Proctor on hitting Yook:
I can understand why Youkilis was mad at me. Any time you get a ball thrown at your head ... But if I'm going to do it, I'm going to do it on the first pitch. I'm not going to do it 2-2 and waste four pitches. That's stupid.Or you do it on a 2-2 pitch, so you can say how stupid it would be to do it on a 2-2 pitch.

I think it's not so much beaning as beaning and not getting suspended....
Who's more likely to pitch inside today, Schill or Moose? Who's more likely to have the inside pitch taken away if the umps issue a pre-game warning to both sides? It was deliberate, Torre ordered it from the tunnel, the Yanks will manufacture any advantage they can. Bury the buggers.
BURY!
Mussina does not brush batters back. This has been noted (and complained about from MFY fans) for years and years.
Schilling is unlikely to continue any possible feud.
If we do get into a brawl, can we have the Old Tavarez come back for 5-10 minutes?
DP at #2 and Ococ at #9. ... Good work, Tito!

I can't wait for this game to start!
if anybody fucks with manny, papi, daisuke or okie, Old Julian will be sure to return with a vengeance.
Let's see if ol' G38 has the same split as last time out.
The Yankees won their 23rd game of the season last night. ... The Red Sox won their 23rd game of the season on May 11.
Boston has lost two games in a row -- the longest losing streak of the season (it's happened three times).
ugh why dont they send Joe Buck down to houston, or st. louis (wherever the other fox game is)...what an obnoxious announcer. they put him on all the good sporting events. hopefully they'll bring remy in for an inning or two to make this bearable.
MLBTV on mute for me!
redsock, i think that the manny put out yesterday just reinforces my points in my blog. a-rod was out by what, 89 feet? or maybe it reinforces the point that he sucks ass.
you dont get it on FOX? i would mute it but i want to hear the game...plus i find when i mute it, ill look at the computer and then it will be the bottom of the 8th.
tim said......what an obnoxious announcer. they put him on all the good sporting events.
Which is why I mute the sound and listen to radio guys.
now that i got the sirius, ill be able to listen to the home patriots broadcast....
hmm, maybe ill try listening to it online (through the mlb tv service) and see if its sync'd to my tv.
BEAUTY!
Sexy lips doing the line up, love it!!!!!
dammit, MLB-radio is on a 10second delay. at least i got the tavarez lineup call. game's a game, im just gonna watch this fox feed. the WRKO site doesnt work either.
why is the ump warning mussina - that actually is a really shitty thing to do, for once buck is making sense. something must be wrong with my TV.
Pedroia 19 for his last 38 woo hoo!!!
Papi representin' with the Trot Nixon style eye-black.
nice! lets get it going manny.
I wonder if joe buck is manning that camera that just zoomed into Manny's ass.
what does manny got in his pocket? a granola bar?
shame i'll miss mccarver's many pearls of widsom, but that's the way it goes.
dumbo jogging to first on that grounder. will he get the MUMS treatment? no, he won't.
Freaking Pesky Pole!!!!
hey -- why isn't mccarver wearing his jeter jersey today?
grab a seat, shemp!
what does manny got in his pocket? a granola bar?
apparently sunflower seeds. wonder how dougie feels on this issue...
WOW. "Obviously it'll be a cheap run for the red sox"
disgusting. im going to watch this on the plasma in the living room, where the picture is better so it will offset the shitty sound.
what a cheap run that was. douchebag mccarver.
PS: might come on and post random comments throughout, but wont be on the comp so ill talk to you fools later!
dougie has chicken parm in his pockets.
what was the deal with mussina and the ump?
cheap run? yeah, best record in baseball. ... thank you, inventor of mute, whoever you are. ... and yet mfy fans think he is pro-sox and anti-nyy.
The ump wasn't warning Mussina. It was something else, dunno what.
you dont get it on FOX?
We do at home, on the Buffalo station. But he's at work.
Buck and McMoron aren't so bad today. I mean, they're still stupid, but not so bad.
the pitch to dp they showed did some weird things. i didn't see it live though.
The pitch to dp had a big break (maybe a knuckle curve), I think it was close and inside so, maybe it was like a warning about warnings?
flo doesn't care too much for mcmoron either. look at him making faces behind tito.
Freaking rain!
Papi behind Francona during between the innings was cracking me up.
Tito: "I'll knock him on his ass. I mean that in a nice way."
Papi behind Francona during between the innings was cracking me up.
Tito: "I'll knock him on his ass. I mean that in a nice way."
lmao, that was awesome.
also had a chuckle at the dougie Chicken Parm comment up there. just read the "Dougie's Goin Deep Tonight!" blog a few days ago...
this delay is lame, why would they bother starting the inning then do this...it was clearly coming down before papi stepped up to the plate, and its probably done right now. it really doesn't have the pungent aroma of a lengthy delay, wouldn't you say Joe?
Yeah, could have been a warning about warnings. A reminder.
Stupid rain.
Papi behind Tito was funny. Now please play ball!
We do at home, on the Buffalo station. But he's at work.
Ahhhh, good ol' WUTV. Buffalo, must mean you get the pro-MFY announcers on fox like me. wait a second, i'm picking up the boston feed of fox and its the same thing!
A warning about warnings? Isn't that usually called an ejection?
And in the first inning. On a non-fastball that wasn't all that close. Seems unlikely, but strange. If so, does Curt get a freebie too?
All this warning about warnings talk has got me thinking of one of the last episodes of The Office.
thank god for wikipedia.
Jim: [picking up a ticket on his desk] What's this?
Dwight: That is a demerit.
Jim: "Jim Halpert, tardiness." Oh, I love it already.
Dwight: You've got to learn, Jim, you're second in command, but that does not put you above the law.
Jim: Oh I understand. And I also have lots of questions. Like what does a demerit mean?
Dwight: Let's put it this way. You do not want to receive three of those.
Jim: Lay it on me.
Dwight: Three demerits, and you'll receive a citation.
Jim: Now that sounds serious.
Dwight: Oh it is serious. Five citations, and you're looking at a violation. Four of those, and you'll receive a verbal warning. Keep it up, and you're looking at a written warning. Two of those, that'll land you in a world of hurt in the form of a disciplinary review, written up by me and placed on the desk of my immediate superior.
Jim: Which would be me.
Dwight: That...is correct.
Jim: Okay, I want a copy on my desk by the end of the day or you will receive a full disadulation.
Dwight: What's a dis...what's that?
Jim: Oh, you don’t want to know.
[Dwight is scared]
Fox is a national game, it's always Buck & McCarver, every Saturday that Fox has a game. Just like Sunday night on ESPN, it's always Miller & Morgan.
I really don't think it was a warning. It didn't look like it at all.
I cannot believe Tim is posting dialogue from The Office.
Fox is a national game, it's always Buck & McCarver, every Saturday that Fox has a game. Just like Sunday night on ESPN, it's always Miller & Morgan.
twas a joke bout FOX always being the pro mfy announcers ;-)
you'd better believe it.
it wasn't a warning, cause as the wonderful broadcast team put it: "Pedroia looked like he deliberately stuck his elbow out there to make it close" or something.
this is how i envisioned the conversation:
Ump: "Come on man, I don't want to have to break up a fight."
Mussina: "its coo, i was just trying to pitch to him"
Ump: "Thats coo. But you've got to learn, Mike, you're second in command, but that does not put you above the law." (insert the rest of the office dialogue in here)
Ohhhh man, i just did a double take at my TV (the STL-HOU game)...they showed the STL catcher and i saw
B___ETT
and his number was _8
and i was like "what?!?!?!" (for some reason i thought beckett was #18 there for a second, not DK)...just looked it up, Gary Bennett, #28. ah well, iiiiim dumb.
The warning about warnings was because of the herald etc, posting about Tito's pre game conference where he blasted Watson without saying that Watson is a MFY tool. There each team before the game was warned that MLB will be monitoring the game etc. Schilling does pitch inside, Mussina does to. As for the pitch being close, I thought it was inside and thought maybe the Ump was just saying you are ok there because Mussina did stare in.
Who freaking knows, its not like they will be asking the ump.
This NEVER gets old. I just found a new computer desktop.
WTF - Radio is saying that Rahjer will miss the White Sox series because of a groin injury. WEEI is saying that the Times is saying that.
GOTTTAAA LOVE IT
wow, Mark Loretta is hitting .339. Welcome to the NL I guess.
Tarp is off, so baseball in our near future.
--
Does it bum anyone else out that the Cardinals changed to blue caps this year? I see them in the road uni's on SportsCenter etc. and always do double take.
You guys here that? Buck said the ump was telling Mussina that it looked like the batter (who was up? I can't remember. Coco? Lugo?) was leaning into the pitch, and Mussina didn't have to worry about that.
Oh Pedroia, right.
twas a joke bout FOX always being the pro mfy announcers ;-)
I guess your humour's just too subtle for me, Tim.
Also I can't spell today. Oh well.
Does it bum anyone else out that the Cardinals changed to blue caps this year?
It's a travesty! The Rangers did that a few years ago, changed from red to blue, or blue to red, whichever. Bad. But the Cardinals? I mean, they're name means red. And they're an old team, they should respect tradition. Bad.
you'd better believe it.
If it were my blog, you'd be rubbing your eyes wondering where your post went. But it's ain't, so you're not.
Yeah Lowell!! Here we go.
He's out of his routine!!!!!
Pitch Counts at rain delay - Schilling 57 in 4 IP and 44 for Mussina in 3+ IP.
I want to be like Mikey!!!!
LOWELL!!! Whewwwwwww
Radio is saying that Rahjer will miss the White Sox series because of a groin injury.
We were taking bets on how soon he'd pull a groin or a hammy. Who knew it would be this soon?! Before he even makes it back to the bigs!!
Lowell getting tough.
Faux calling that dirty?
No, they're praising it highly and explaining why Alex's play was dirty and Lowell's was not.
Groin confirmation. Couple of weeks delay and K Igawa is coming up to replace him.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
What year will it be when Red Sox fans stop believing the whole world is against them?
The Times story on Clemens has Kei Igawa making Monday's start in Chicago.
Yeah, that Billy. Greatest pitcher in MLB. ... Oh, he's hurt and in the minors. ... Never mind ...
MFY were 5.5 GB when they anounced the signing, then fell to 14.5, now 12.5. ... Maybe he's thinking twice about joining a loser.
So .........
Was Lowell's play any different than Slappy's roll into DP?
Really? How are they explaining it? Because he was in the baseline?
Lowell getting tough.
Faux calling that dirty?
Yup, far worse than Slappy feeling up DP's cash and prizes with his forearm.
What a complete asshole (Joe) - GOOOOOO BUCK YOURSELF!
Cano shouldn't have went in the baseline if he didn't want to get rocked. Idiot.
If it were my blog, you'd be rubbing your eyes wondering where your post went. But it's ain't, so you're not.
jeeeeeze, what's with the office dissing?
Cano shouldn't have went in the baseline if he didn't want to get rocked. Idiot.
But Lowell had come to a complete stop. He wasn't running -- he bodyrolled and pushed him down.
also howled at the Clemens groin injury...
i personally heard that they were saying Lowell's was worse...
they said: Well Alex did it after DP had released the ball, but Lowell was trying to prevent him from making a throw
Allan, why don't you put the sound on? :)
Not dissing office, dissing off-topic posts. Also I hate the show. But like I said, 'snot my blog.
Still, I refuse to turn on the sound to hear what is being said.
I'm confused, both McCarver and Buck said Lowell made a great play taking out Cano in the baseline. Did I missing something?
But Lowell had come to a complete stop. He wasn't running -- he bodyrolled and pushed him down.
There's no rule that says you HAVE to always be running towards the next base ;-)
Clearly he wanted to hammer him, and he did so in a legal manner. I don't have anything against it.
Mikey getting a little pay back on Canoe maybe? OOH this could get interesting.
i personally heard that they were saying Lowell's was worse...
You heard wrong. They were both saying Lowell did it the right way.
I'm confused, both McCarver and Buck said Lowell made a great play taking out Cano in the baseline. Did I missing something?
No, you did not. That's exactly what they said.
I'm confused, both McCarver and Buck said Lowell made a great play taking out Cano in the baseline. Did I missing something?
They said he made a smart, legal play as any good player would...during Penas AB they compared it to Slappy, and from my POV sounded like they were saying it was the same scenario and that if it's okay for Lowell, it's okay for A-Rod.
I'll let you guys be my ears.
There is no question in my mind that if roles were reversed and Slappy did that to Pedoria, Sox fans would be howling.
Be honest.
They weren't trying to say Lowell's was bad, they were using it to justify A-Rod's from 10 days ago.
and from my POV sounded like they were saying it was the same scenario and that if it's okay for Lowell, it's okay for A-Rod.
McCarver was explaining why Alex's play was dirty. He spent several sentences saying it, then they talked more, then he came around to it again.
I'll let you guys be my ears.
There is no question in my mind that if roles were reversed and Slappy did that to Pedoria, Sox fans would be howling.
Be honest.
This is it - what Lowell did was perfectly within the rules of the game. Yes, it was rough but he did what the rules entitled him to.
I would be like "What a dick" if it was A-Rod - but that's cause it's A-Rod. He's following the rules, hes just a dick.
They weren't trying to say Lowell's was bad, they were using it to justify A-Rod's from 10 days ago.
You are inventing that. They were criticizing Alex. They've been critical of him all day.
I would be like "What a dick" if it was A-Rod - but that's cause it's A-Rod. He's following the rules, hes just a dick.
I think you're in the minority on that, as you showed in your very good comment on the post above this one.
Most Red Sox fans I see would say he was cheating, acting like it's something horrible that only Yankees (and maybe Miguel Tejada) do, acting as if they wouldn't want their own players to do the same thing.
We must be hearing things differently then...I have a negative view of these guys and I'm projecting it on to everything that they say...so basically, they could say how awesome the sox are, and I'll take it negatively just because of how long ive had to listen to their pro-MFY views.

Heh. Laura been trying to get me to admit to that for years.
Whatever, as if this thread has come down to us discussing our interpretation of Joe Buck's commentary. This is exactly what he wants!!! hahaha
lets discuss how awesome that hit was by DP!
Thank you for admitting it! That's more than most will do. Good man.
NEVER!!!!
:>)
Laura been trying to get me to admit to that for years.
And that, Joy Nation, is the subtext of my last comment. :)
DP: I like the 2 spot. Think I'll hit here for awhile.
This is exactly what he wants!!!
It's part of Rupert Murdoch's evil mind control.
Christ, I'm honestly wanting the Sox to not have any baserunners just because I hate watching Mussina snorkeling up from the stretch.
he's pulling a clemens!
Youk needs to come up big here. A hit might knock mussina out of the game.
Load 'em up for Yook?
OKAY!!!
Does Yook have a GS yet, career?
Damn.
Buck answered my question. No, and still no.
"he's pulling a clemens!"
tee-hee.
And that, Joy Nation, is the subtext of my last comment. :)
Joy Nation, I like it.
PC's Moose - 82/48 after 5, Schill- 63/44 after 5.
"Joy Nation, I like it."
I can't take credit for that. Not sure who started it. Jere, maybe. Or Jack Marshall, the dear departed.
come on curt -- outs!
Crap!!!!
Ouch.
OK, another comeback win is needed.
not out of the park -- outs!
bah.
Oy.
Not enamored of Joy Nation.
"Redsock Nation"? ... Too close?
You know the Yankees sell shirts that say "Yankee Universe"? (Bigger than a nation, you see.)
"Redsock Nation"? ... Too close?
I think you'll have to live w/ Joy Nation.
Oh fuck.
Why do announcers (ALL, not just Fox) think hitting or pitching cares what day it is? "The calendar has turned to June, and the Yankees hope their bats will start to wake up..."
They are morans.
Did you know the AM station in Burlington, VT I listened to Red Sox games as a kid in the late 1970s was WJOY?
It's true.
Ok, who has the walk off today in the contest. I can feel it!!
Why do announcers (ALL, not just Fox) think hitting or pitching cares what day it is? "The calendar has turned to June, and the Yankees hope their bats will start to wake up..."
You obviously haven't followed the Yankee Baseball Bat Hibernation Schedule. It says that in 2007 they hibernate until June 1, then are awoken once the baseball termites leave their hibernation space and return to their homes in Washington and Kansas City...

I was thinking the same thing!!

Ha! Serendipity.
WE LOVE MIKE LOWELL!!!!!!!!!
I want to be like MIKEY!!!!
You obviously haven't followed the Yankee Baseball Bat Hibernation Schedule.
Very true. :-)
Mike Lowell is a fuckin' bad ass!
CAPTAIN TANGIBLE!!!
AWWWWWWWWWWW YEAH!
wooo wooo
Here comes Proctor?
YEA BOIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
[I just posted that comment on my own blog and had to delete it. In the middle about a discussion of immigration in Canada...]
Buh bye, bigot!
is? "The calendar has turned to June, and the Yankees hope their bats will start to wake up..."
In defense of this, I also read this as "It's getting later in the schedule and if the Yankees wanna make the playoffs, they better start hitting and winning."
Alright, Lowell and 'Tek had #3 and #4 of the 4 in a row...time for them to be #1 and #2
Way to hold that lead, Mussina. In comes the Assman.
I also read this as "It's getting later in the schedule and if the Yankees wanna make the playoffs, they better start hitting and winning."
Do you now? Mighty white of you. ;-)
I do.
But they do always say, "He had a bad April, but got hot in May. What will he do in June?"
It's dumb.
Extra crispy :)
walkoff contest today: devine.
"and a walkoff victory today would be devine." [/mccarver]
i was disappointed in that. that proctor really stuck it to the red sox that inning.
starters out after 5 - this is where those classic bos-ny 4pm starts go until 8:30 or 9pm
Devine's a good guy. But now that it's tied, I'd rather pile on the runs and just bury em. No walk off needed.
lopez out after abreu, then -- did i see jeemer?
pineiro? ... hold tight.
CI is batting .192 against Joel (5/26). Tito going with the numbers.
Yup, Jeemer's warming.
OK Devine, you're on.
Crap so much for numbers.
jesus christ.
way to listen to your laptop, tito!!
:<(
...
(i'm kidding)
have a seat
I hope McCarver's wrong about where Manny is playing. He has an annoying habit of being right about these things.
[For those who refuse to un-mute the broadcast, McC is saying Manny is playing so shallow "it's deep short". They chuckled a little mentioning Remy.]
Jeemer?
Jeemer v Dumbo
McC is saying Manny is playing so shallow "it's deep short"
As long as he isn't close enough to pet Lugo's head.

Heard that as well and came over to the computer to opine :P
I dunno, I just think that for someone who has played LF since 2001 he would know where to play moreso than someone sitting in a broadcast booth.
Gameday has a pitching change:
Hideki Okajima replaces Hideki Okajima.
Didja hear that, folks? Fox announcers are praising Red Sox for smart bullpen management. Also praising Jeemer and The Snuffer.
It's true. They were.
then there was the opposing team broadcast one night that told us manny is sort of famous for playing so deep in left.
I just think that for someone who has played LF since 2001 he would know where to play moreso than someone sitting in a broadcast booth.
True. But McCarver has played a bit of baseball in his day. He is sometimes very good at those on-field things. [Arizona, 2001...]
"then there was the opposing team broadcast one night that told us manny is sort of famous for playing so deep in left. "
Detroit morons, I believe.
Fox announcers are praising Red Sox for smart bullpen management.
But I'm not ready for the world to end.
Ladies and gentlemen, your 2007 Detroit Morons!!!!
Actually I have no choice as for un-mute, am reduced to the radio since the prom date (last night) is over for the daughter and all TV's are being occuppied for other things. As the BH says "king of castle, HA, king of nothing". :>)
ORTIZZZZZZ
Nice catch, Abreu 'NT!!
damn, i typed out "Tied!" when that ball was in the air...ill have to repost it in a minute.
*knocks*
good times!
So you have EEI? Are they any better now? (New team, right?)
they are seriously dissing ol' brillo chin.
let's go yook!!
Come on Yook, make him pay...
time to keep the streak going!
Yep, much better I even like (geffen). Brian though has a great radio voice, low dulcet tones.
Youk 2 for 8 against proctor.
juiced for lowell (for the second time)...do what you did last AB!
BB! Bases loaded, no outs. How many will score? Place your bets.
That sounds good (EEI). We should try it. Except for that damn delay.
3
Last AB for Lowell against Proctor was 3 run Home Run. At least that is what eei is saying.
RIGHT NOW!
2-0 to Lowell.
God, I hate that Right Now! graphic.
The proctologist is major rattled. Everyone's out trying to calm him down.
TIED!
LEAD! BAHAHAHAHAHAHHA BALL STEALER IS INJURED
Whoo-hoo!
(Malphabet down, not whoo-hooing for that.)
Mikey being a linebacker today?
Lowell's hard! From the streets! That's how they play in Compton, yo.
Damn, did you see that on the replay? Leg to the head. Awful.
Compton? You mean Havana? :)
Yeah, he got knocked good...he should be good to go tomorrow. Probably got KO'ed hard...
Nieves at 1st, Dumbo catching and some other goofball to DH?
Head injury. Scary shit.
Snook is clearly groggy. He just told the doc that the MFY are 5 GA.
Sounds like M-alphabet is ok but concussion? Hope he's ok. 1 of the 25.
they did it much simpler than i predicted. (phelps at 1B)
if dumbo goes in the field, the pitcher is the DH.
hey mike, can you start to take out the other side of the infield now?
MFY better hope that nothing happens to Nieves or Damon will be playing first base. snicker
Let's not forget to thank CI for the E.
oh man, he got creamed at first. hopefully he's okay. i didn't see it that well until that final replay.
if dumbo goes in the field, the pitcher is the DH.
Really? That's interesting, I've never heard that rule before...guess it makes sense, designated hitter and all.
MLBTV missed the entire Tek AB.
Wow.
"Hope he's ok. 1 of the 25. "
I was about to say I can't believe a Red Sox fan would dis one of the 25.
But then there's Johnny.
yeah the pitcher would go into the vacated player spot (snook).
More of those intangibles we love so much!
Thats the CI we all love.
CAPTAIN INTANGIBLES!
Heh, we all posted the same thing.
Where'd it go????
E-6.
