Panic? New York better panic -- they have only 49 games to play.
Our magic number is 45.

Tim Wakefield (4.55, 99 ERA+) / Joe Saunders (3.10, 138 ERA+)
RedSox.com:
Saunders continued his high-caliber work in dispatching the A's across 6.2 innings, holding them to two earned runs on six hits while striking out three and walking two. A strike-thrower who keeps his defense involved, Saunders also keeps his team in games. The Angels are 7-0 in his starts since he opened the season with a 4-3 loss to Oakland. He has faced Boston once for a no-decision, going 5.2 innings on August 22, 2006, giving up two unearned runs in a game won by the Angels in Anaheim.
The Yankees (Fat Billy) play in Toronto (Josh Towers) tonight.The MFY trail the Red Sox by 6 games in the East and are only .5 GB Detroit in the wild card hunt (Seattle is 1 GB).

1 – 200 of 302 Newer› Newest»Lot of people on WEEI killing Francona today. Various complaints. Why Tavarez instead of Gagne? Why Moss instead of Wily Mo in the ninth or Cora? How come he doesn't play small or get these guys to relax when RISP?
The team has the best record in baseball and just because they lose while the MFY's win, the people in Boston seem to panic!
Get a grip people!
Wily Mo passed through waivers, look for a trade within the next week.
Hmmm...just looked at this thread, it's Toonie Tuesday over at Kentucky Fried Chicken today...
Colonel Saunders is calling my name.
Then again, I'm not exactly into having the grease pumped out of my body and missing the game.

Not the people. The idiots.
I can see Tito now, yelling at Drew while he's batting: "RELAX!!!"
This is Exhibit A of why never to listen to these dolts. All of a sudden, they love WMP. ???
I want to keep an eye on the Yankee game, but watching Josh Towers pitch to a hot Yankee lineup on Buffyvision is not for the faint-hearted. I think I'll prep by watching one of the Texas Chainsaw or Saw epics.
heh, i'm going to catch towers on buffyvision. hopefully we won't be watching the same thing, woti...
game one of the double header coming up.
have the MFY game on now with the YES announcers, well at least until Eureka comes on at 9:00
Yeah, I've muted Buffy and have Suzyn and Sterling on audio. Yikes. Can they just put Joba in the HoF now?
I've muted Buffy and have Suzyn and Sterling on audio.
Are you mad?
Actually, they're hilarious. It's like Baghdad Bob and Tokyo Rose. Buffy is just a national embarrassment.
I hope Stairs bolts and throttles ARod. And they still have 7 left after this one.
I'd love to hear Sterling and Waldman again, for old time sake. Much preferably to Buffvision.
s1c, good call re tito & grip-getting.
Not the people. The idiots.
In which our host distinguishes between "the people" and "the idiots". It's a new day of optimism here at Casa Wmtc.
I hope Stairs bolts and throttles ARod.
It could start an international incident. Fun!
Stairs... Canadian.

Kielty: "The Yankees showed quite of bit of interest, but I definitely felt I'd rather play with the Red Sox than the Yankees. Boston was No. 1 from the get-go. ... My dad took me to the playoff series in 1986 when the Red Sox played the Angels. I rooted for the Red Sox."
Just to be clear. If you want to know what's really going on with the ballgame, you have to have the TV on. The spin they put on stuff is, well, Yankeeriffic.
Come on Jays. Fat Billy is crap.

Ha! Dumbo should just learn to stay at first!
Is it just me, or does Josh Towers' face look like the quintessential Webster's definition of an "emo kid"

Shelley Duncan - has a woman's name, looks like a complete fruit-and-nut-cake.
so much for help from the Jays. Fragging jays.
7-0, goddamn.
Shelley's a made man. The Yanks kept him and dumped Cairo to make room for superman Joba.

#s are positions.
Ah, nice. I was looking at it from a statistical viewpoint.
I thought the Jays only rolled over when they got into Yankee Stadium--this is pathetic.
Yeah, right, it was the White Sox. The way they both played the Yanks I couldn't tell the difference.
Friggin west coast games. Game hasn't even started and I'm falling asleep.
I stayed up last night hoping to see Bonds break the record, so now I'm exhausted.
If I stay up it will be a lousy game, but if I go to sleep I'll miss a gem.
(Yes, yes, good night.)
Where's Jere, I wonder if a little piece of him is rooting for Joba...
laura may i offer you a cup of virtual coffee? :)
lead-off man on--this game is over!
FSN on MLBTV again. Must call and get my Directv subscription uncancelled. They cut me off because I didn't pay the bill in full (didn't want to renew Sunday Ticket).
Ah well, time to listen to some Millencolin for the first few innings.
tdcg, sure, thanks! i'll be up all night, but at least i'll see the game.
(i'm a caffeine addict. i never say no to coffee.)

True, however my subscription is for my mom's house in Maine (which also helps with that little MLB blackout rule that sucks ass)...
I won't attempt to understand this. We get our cable the old fashioned way.
I have a brother in law in virginia that gets NESN the same way. The bill goes to David in CT so that he gets NESN without the blackouts.
Everybody is happy that way!
Allan is telling me that lots of people on SOSH do this. These companies are pretty stupid, not knowing where their equipment is. You'd think they'd catch on.

Anyway I can get this David's address , I would like to send him my bills as well....

You are in Waterbury though right? Not sure what your cable company does there but in eastern CT ESPN is blacked out not NESN.
Virginia bil pays the bill, it just gets mailed to CT bil.

Yeah we are not offered nesn and still get blackedout on ESPN .....That's what I get for living in Waterbury....I want WSBK TV 38 back.....
Do people in New England hire themselves out for this? Can you find someone on Craigslist to handle it for a fee?
Yeah i don't get it if there is no direct tv in Canada and he is in Canada Does he actually have a dish?
Is it against the law in Canada to have a dish?
Yeah, it doesn't really matter where you are physically...in fact, I have two dish network satellites hooked up ...not going to get into the details of those.
They were trying to make stealing american satellites illegal in canada - which is how we started with directv. But directv phased out the "hacked" cards, and no one has cracked the new cards, so we just decided to get a legit account with my mom's address.
9Casey, is that the same thing that Jere always talks about, the only county in NE that doesn't get NESN?
Not sure about the hiring out or Craigs list, I just know that it works in this case.
Fragging Mathis.

hahaha, no worries. Dish Network provides all the channels I need.
Of course it's not illegal to have a dish in Canada! Tons of people have satellite. Think of all that wide open Canadian space.
DirecTV just isn't in business up here. So because we don't have that option, our cable and satellite companies are allowed to offer EI, no matter what Bud Selig says.
SWHB strikes again!
yeah Dougie!
WMP double + SWHB home run = !!!!
DOUGIE GOES DEEP!!!!!

Go ahead. Pull the other one.
I made it for 2 Bonds at-bats. I doubt I'm gonna be awake for a 3rd.
Nice shot, Doug.
From earlier: "Not the people. The idiots." Exactly. The people who call sports talk shows.
Keep in mind with MLB blackout rules, we're in the Toronto zone so if you don't have EI or MLBTV, you're blacked out from all games except for the select few they decide to show on the two national sports channels here (Sportsnet and TSN)...then of course there's the nationally televised games (FOX sat, ESPN sun nite and playoffs)

Every time Dusty scores a run or gets a hit, read his lips for a big loud FUCK. If he strikes out, it's FUCK ME.

Only in the province of Quebec. Here in Ontario there are just a couple of French-language stations.
Are there a lot of french channels on tv?
I've got two here. Good ol' 8 and 10...only thing that was ever good about it was watching Bruins games when they played the Habs. Oh, and the Expos when they were around in the golden era (Pedro, Vlad, Grudzie etc)
That's why you gotta get EI.
Or DTV ;-)
I like to watch CBC in French sometimes. Just to see how much I can pick up.
I do miss sometimes watching baseball in Spanish, tho.

Slappy acting tough tonight. From mlb:
"Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez was hit in the back of his left leg by a fastball from Jays starter Josh Towers in the top of the third inning. Rodriguez took exception to the pitch and started walking towards the mound, which prompted both benches to clear. Eventually, things settled down and Rodriguez took his place at first base. Before play could be resumed, though, Towers and Rodriguez walked towards each other one more time, and again, both benches cleared."

Warren Cromartie, Ellis Valentine, Steve Rogers ...
Am I on the Radio - only if I am taking a day off and some one says something really stupid, I might call. That occurs about once every three years.
"No. It's a complete mystery. Different cable/satellite providers get different feeds, too."
hmm... Now I'm really curious about this. Of course, I hate my cable provider, so maybe it's just easier to blame TWC even if it isn't their fault. They're bound to have done something wrong anyhow!

Here's the deal: Look at NESN.com, their FAQ. It's like the first answer. Their territory, as determined by mlb is, and I quote, "all of New England except Fairfield County, Connecticut." (where I lived the first 29 years of my life.)
So, in that county, you're just not getting NESN. In other CT counties, they are in the NESN territory, but not all CT cable companies choose to carry NESN. So those people get the dutch-door action screwjob. They're IN NESN territory, so they're blacked out of ESPN games (as ESPN THINKS, we guess, they must be getting the game.) And they're blacked out by anything else--EI or whatever. So, essentially they can never see the Red Sox.
The thing is, at least they have a chance--if their cable company wises up--like, you can start a petition knowing it might get results. Fairfield, though, is officially out of the territory, so the cable companies will tell you "there's nothing we can do."
And then Remy has the nerve to say "ohh, wow, we're getting people signing up for RemDawg Nation in CT! I thought that was Yankee country." Well, then, give us NESN you idiots!!! God this STILL makes me so mad. (And I live in Boston now!)
Golden Era you must be young I thought the Expos Golden Era was, Carter, Dawson, Raines....
my golden era!
Also--Rowland Office... (Expos)
You got to remember though that Fairfield county is mostly New Yorkers living in CT. Waterbury is not in Fairfield though, so it is up to the cable company.
One of the reasons why I think you should be able to pick what channels you want and basically just pay for those channels.
I would be able to get rid about half of my channels that way.
Just hit the SAP on your remote
That's "where available". It's not here.
Fragging Lugo
goddamn it -- get outs!!!!
stop giving the runs right fucking back.
Always blame TWC for everything. Chances are very good you'll be right.
C'mon Timmy...
"Waterbury is not in Fairfield though, so it is up to the cable company. "
Yeah, that's what I said--9Casey is in that area, while I was in Fairfield, and we're both screwed in different ways.
"You got to remember though that Fairfield county is mostly New Yorkers living in CT. "
Oh, I remember. Like I said, 29 years there. Is it my fault that people who work in New York choose to live IN NEW ENGLAND, HOME OF THE RED SOX? Don't call it New England Sports Network if you're not gonna give it to New Englanders. I'm not asking they add NYC to their region, even though there are LOTS of Sox fans there, but at least give it to New England, or re-name the network.
Oy. MDC please.
You got to remember though that Fairfield county is mostly New Yorkers living in CT. Waterbury is not in Fairfield though, so it is up to the cable company.

Tee-hee
Like I said, I'll always fight for ALL of New England. Just like you still want the US to become great. Right?
You'll be happy to know I deleted the f words out of my last comment:)
I have no problem with the F word. 9Casey thinks that means I have low self-esteem, but that's not my fucking problem. :)
time to move up to Don and Jerry for the second half of this one.
Just like you still want the US to become great. Right?
Jere. Don't ask me that. Not here, anyway.
I just meant, you were right in that he was setting me on that "pissed off" course, but I decided to keep it, you know, nice, instead of dumping f-bombs on s1c when he doesn't deserve it....
I used to work in fairfield county, up and down the gold coast.
But then again, about the only county that I haven't done in the last 14 yrs is the New London county.
"Jere. Don't ask me that. Not here, anyway."
Why not? Feel free to use f words.

in the opening remy said wakefield was on one of his great hot streaks.
the graphic showed that in his last 7 starts -- the supposed hot streak -- his ERA was 4.60 or so.
his season ERA coming in was 4.55; now it's 4.74. so according to remy, wakefield has been on this great hot streak all season long.
i'm very afraid what it'll look like when he cools off.
That was like 2 months ago.........
I guess it made a big impression. :)
All smiley faces, no worries.
fuck.
When they squeeze on ya, you're supposed to die with dignity and at least get the damn out at first.....
L girl, don't sell your memory short, you remembered 9casey's f word thing, and my NESN thing....
Goddamn. We're getting bat-dadded!
756
Am I the only one in RSN that hates to see Wakefield pitch?
Where were you when Bonds broke the record? I was in the Joy of Sox comments section, and L-Girl chimed in with a simple "756." I flipped over to ESPN and watched the celebration and then, interestingly, started typing this very comment.

I wonder if he's going to even play another game.
Jere, none of us can ever forget your NESN thing.

The more games, and HRs, the better. Makes it harder for stupid A-Rod to catch him. 800, Barry!

Did you think they were only going to stop half of the game??????
FOR FUCK SAKES! I'm sucking at this TV switching. I just missed the Hazel Mae update.
WTF!!!! He's giving a fucking speech during the middle of the game?
Who gave it up?
"They stopped the entire fucking game in SF?"
Are you insane?? Of course they did. What are you thinking?
Timmy just went all terets on us....
Tim, are you new to this sport? This is what happens in baseball. Aaron, McGwire, Ripken - any major record you can think of. This is what baseball does.
The more games, and HRs, the better. Makes it harder for stupid A-Rod to catch him. 800, Barry!
True, but you know you wouldn't bitch if he was wearing red sox. I was just saying, it took him long enough to get there, I wonder how many more he's got in him. Watch him reel off like 40 more this season now that it's out of the way.
I think he's more upset about Hazel....
Wow, an instant mosh pit after the ball went into the crowd.
I've seen records get broken, but never stopping the game in the middle of an inning complete with video greetings, victory speeches etc.
Hell, they stopped the Sox game for a bit when Wakefield had finally sucked enough that Tito pulled him. No speech though.
tim said...

I'll take the under.
Pete Rose, the 7-minute delay, Eric Show sitting on the mound, 4192. We will never forget--9/11/85.
I don't recall McGwire's thing being that elaborate...
This game is killing me!
Dammit Mikey...
Didn't you see the Ripken deal that lasted for like an hour...
I've seen records get broken, but never stopping the game in the middle of an inning complete with video greetings, victory speeches etc.
You didn't see McGwire hit #61?
McGwire went over, hugged Maris' kid and everything.
Demarlo you are a fragging idiot.
I was excited to see the sox actually batting...and hitting...and ...getting tagged out at the plate with no outs.

Hey, nice. :)
I can't be the only person here old enough to remember Aaron's...? I was in the basement, by myself, watching on a little portable set, listening to the Rolling Stones.
Mike Lowell, slowest Sox since Scott Cooper?
Why would they send him?????????
Didn't you see the Ripken deal that lasted for like an hour...
Not live, I assumed it had come before or after a game, not during the middle of an inning.
this is highly frustrating. now, we can worry.
Didn't you see the Ripken deal that lasted for like an hour...
Man, remember that?! They brought out a truck, and a big rock, he ran around high-fiving the fans, speeches...
How many plays at the plate have there been? Four? I think it's 3-1 them.
if 'Tiz can steal second...
Have Don and Jerry mentioned Bonds yet?
I beleive it was the sixth inning when it became an official game
The Maris family was on the field -- or Mac went into the stands to talk with them. Sosa ran in from RF to get hugged. It was a sizeable delay.
And this record is only like 100 times more important.
No idea why Lowell was sent on that one. Crisp, yes. Pedroia, yes. Yook, yes. Lowell, fuckin no. NO, DEMARLO! BAD DEMARLO!
Perfect relay, blah blah. Who ever expects Lowell to score from first on a double? Jesus.
this is highly frustrating. now, we can worry.
Not yet. I'm not worrying til if/when it gets to 4 games.
But highly annoying, yes.
I hope A-Rod catches Asterisk.... only if he signs with someone else next year.
I can remember Aaron's 715th. I was 14. I can also remember 1978, this year smells alot like it.
I'll worry when the Yanks beat a team with a winning record.
5 games is close enough for me. Especially since it was, what, 14? This sucks.
"Did you think they were only going to stop half of the game??????"
Haha - that would have been interesting to see. Which half do you think they would stop?
Nationals: Um... excuse me? We're playing a game here?
Giants: Huh? Sorry, what?
Woti-woti said...

"I can remember Aaron's 715th. I was 14. I can also remember 1978, this year smells alot like it. "
I only vaguely remember '78, but I know this smells nothing like it.
I'll always remember that when Barry hit 756, I was on the phone whining with a friend about the Red Sox, and Hazel STD came on the TV to let me know that he broke the record
Joe Grav said...

They are playing good 21-7 last 28
"they'll never catch the red sox...": blah blah 5 games after tonight...
this team cannot hit in key situations
Who said that about 1978??? I thought we had squelched that talk, at least at JoS.
heybluu:
are you gooch?
Jere said...
I'll worry when the Yanks beat a team with a winning record.
Are you worried now because the BJ's had a winning record when this series started....
Sure, I remember Hank's. I was in a corner bar on my way home from work in Ottawa that was primarily a peeler joint. I was the only guy watching the little TV above the bartender.
Shit. One of these teams is playing good baseball and the other ...
We lost 14 of 17 and 9 of 10 on separate occasions in '78 to blow the lead. (Before OUR comeback to tie in the final week.) We're not doing anything like those losing stretches now.
I remember the two idiots come out on the field to run with Aaron, I remember the songs that some of the pitchers were singing about don't let it be me, and I vividly remember 1978 because the doofus across the hall in the dorm was a huge Yankee fan.
This doesn't feel like 1978 at all. Because there is no Spaceman on this team and no Gerbil.
I haven't seen the Sox look this bad all year long. Bad coaching, bad pitching in important situations, lousy execution... This is incredibly frustrating.
Also, I'm about to fly to anaheim to murder the Angels announcers.
Forget 14 games. (And I don't think it was ever 14 games this season.)
If you ever thought the Sox were going to win the division by more than 10 games, you were fooling yourself. That would not be at all realistic.
We don't have to win the division by 8 games, or 7 games, or 6 games.
We don't have to win the division by 5 games.
We just have to win the division. And we will.
The Yankees are on a roll, playing shitty teams. It will end. We will prevail.
But for fuck's sake don't start whining about 1978!!! Do you see Ron Guidry pitching for the Yankees? Do you see Reggie Jackson hitting? DO YOU SEE DON ZIIMMER MANAGING THE RED SOX????
Unless you see all three of those things, please shut the fuck up about 1978.
Under the heading "lousy coaching" can someone tell me why Tavarez is in there AGAIN tonight? We have three excellent relievers and none of them have gotten into either game yet, but Tavarez has pitched twice! Can anyone explain this to me?
Yeah!!!!!!
We did lead the Yanks by 14. But I agree. The only thing '78ish about this season is possibly these last two innings.....
Hey Woti, I knew you'd have an Aaron memory for me. :)
No, not gooch, Sox fan from CT, but I am not impressed with the way these guys are hitting or fielding the ball right now. Looks like a team feeling the pressure to me.
bluu is not a red sox fan. i think that's obvious.
don't feed the trolls.
Well F! theres no reason not to leave Tavarez out there the rest of the way. This game is over.
To listen to the Angels announcers, you'd think that Coco literally booting the ball in the outfield is because of the scrappy-ness of the Angels.
Tavarez is crap. He should be DFAd.
matttymatty, I'll meet you there. Hook up with me under the big A, we can sneak in and strangle them with their own headsets.
No one's "impressed". Everyone is annoyed and frustrated. But there's no need to become a walking stereotype of what Yankees fans think you are.
Also, I'm about to fly to anaheim to murder the Angels announcers.
The one of them sounds like he's trying to be a rock star or something.
This game is very frustrating. Shitty management and coaching decisions coupled with sloppy plays and a couple breaks going the Angels way leads to a very annoying time.
Why the fuck is John Farrell coming out? This is bullshit, pull Sexy Lips you tool.
bluu: i call bullshit.
no red sox fan would look at this season right now and type: "I can also remember 1978, this year smells alot like it."
Why do we have Gagne/Okajima/Papelbon when we're just going to throw Tavarez out there to torch our chances of winning?
I'm going to go throw something at something.
The big question is why am I still awake?
OK, everyone get ready for the big comeback.
Seriously. Get ready.
