i know it's lame, but i already feel this game is over, so i'm already gazing in the general direction of (our savior, who art in heaven..) curt schilling.
We rented what I thought was a pretty expensive house on the Cape a couple of years ago that had New York satellite television. No NESN. No red sox on tv. We were mightily pissed. We complained to the realtor.
I will keep focused on this game and worry about tomorrow tomorrow. It is only three runs, and we have six more outs. Foolish optimism, perhaps, but after 32 years, why not?
The Yankees offense is just such a different animal, and Wang is their ace. Luckily the game's at 1:05 so we don't have to spend all day mulling it over.
There haven't been many times that you can blame francona for a loss, but with half of JOS questioning sending joshie out for the seventh this one will be one, if, and that is a big if, the sox don't come back.
Earlier - "How big is that play by Lugo (saving the 4th run) Now - How big is the mistake of letting A-Rod see Beckett one time too many Not giving up tho, if anybody can get 2 runs in 4 outs, it's us
Actually I like Adam ... He robbed from the rich And he gave to the poor Stood up to the man And gave him what for Our love for him now Ain't hard to explain The hero of Canton The man they call Jayne :)
I like Tek not because of his hitting (or lack thereof) but because of his leadership as the catcher. I have always had a thing for catchers. Carlton Fisk started it all for me with the Sox.
hey, we all have our reasons to like our favourite players. we were arguing about nixon here recently - many people's fave, inexplicable to me, but whatever.
Nixon was scrappy, not afraid to get dirty, sort of a symbol of the Red Sox spirit, the Boston spirit. I think that's also the appeal of Pedroia and Youk...they curse, sweat, get dirty.
OK, we get three more outs to shame Rivera. Again.
I was not suggest that the dirt and sweat appeal to ME (yuck), but I think the guys like it and probably some of the women as well. Like I said, I like Tek: clean, no cursing, no sweating.
amy, i understand. i don't get that kind of appeal myself, as you can tell. i like how when tek makes an out, he just goes back to the dugout, quickly and quietly - the same way he gets on base.
Anyone else sick to their stomaches? Maybe that was just my dinner. Glad it's not just me. I know - still 6 games up, but DAMN - it's the MF Yankees for christ's sake
The last thing in the world you want is the Yankees in the playoffs. Check Beckett's numbers against NY. Check Dice-K. Heck, take a look at Bloody Sock himself.
curtains never should have been put up before this series, that's the problem. we don't need 'how the east was won' headlines and shit like that. guh, it bothered me right away when everyone went bonkers over our sweep of chi, like it was all over when meanwhile we had two more series' against ny and a month of baseball left.
I think the worst will be over tomorrow, though. Good schedule for the Red Sox from here on out... Play the Yankees at Fenway one more time... BAL, TOR, BAL, TB, NYY, TOR, TB, OAK, and MIN.
Yankees have essentially the same schedule down the stretch. They've got SEA and KC and the rest of the AL East. We've got MIN and OAK for the final two series of the regular season.
I think we'll be fine, but its very interesting the way things are shaping up. Root hard for Seattle, for good measure.
We are definitely still in control. Go 38!! Let's not let them get TOO smug before we knock 'em out. BTW - before I hit the shower. Thanks for the piece on Gagne, RS. As pissed as I was after he blew 2 late leads, in critical games, I still thought he would bring something to the team. I felt like something was different lately with him, good to get a little validation. Later
L-girl, I apologize for making you sick, and, in truth, for trolling just a little. But I genuinely believe the Yankees are the better team right now, and that may well extend into the playoffs. It's hard to believe that they'll catch the Sox in the regular season, unless, and I repeat unless, Manny's injury keeps him out for an extended period of time. Then anything is possible, if only becuz this lineup seems prone to fallow periods offensively (and Ortiz won't see a fastball over the plate until spring training).
And yes I remember Bloody Sock's finest moment. It's burned into my brain. But for most Yankee fans, 38hotdogs is the guy we most love to hate. Which, you know, is part of being a fan.
I am getting really sick and tired of the cutesy jeter at-bat. He does that girlish duck when the ball is inside. That really makes me want to see him hit hard on his helmet. Maybe it is because I a super focused on these games but I hate that fucking guy. If i see him scrunch up and run away again after an inside pitch I will throw a baseball through my TV.
The Orioles scratched ace lefthander Erik Bedard from his Saturday start against the Red Sox because of a strained muscle in his right side . . . -Globe

Go, Jason. (Note my avatar.) Don't strike out.
Unfortunately Fat Billy owns Tek -
Make the number lie captain!
you are the weakest link, goodbye.
Fragging yankees - Tek now 3 for 20 lifetime vs FB.
weak ass grounder from tek. shit.
red sox special.
"red sox special"
good thing i can't see you in person.
OH LOOK - a famous person in New York City!!!
WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!
whys that l-girl?
cuz it pisses me off so much, and i'd have no time to cool off, i'd just go off, and it would be ugly.
this way i can just grit my teeth.
LOB isn't the sox specialty?
wow i just found out you were a yankees fan? is that true?
wow i just found out you were a yankees fan? is that true?
we've only mentioned it like every day this month.
putting a shitload of guys on base means you'll end up scoring a lot of runs AND leaving a lot of guys on base.
really...i hadnt seen it til tonight.....
putting a shitload of guys on base means you'll end up scoring a lot of runs AND leaving a lot of guys on base.
...
you do not want the alternative.
didn't we cover this like five or six games ago? I did a nice little spread showing the Sox weren't that bad!!
dont let them score here!
Why can't the Red Sox pretend that they are in Chicago??
no one warming?
Nice twirl there by Lugo!
give me a freaking break!
oh my whoring hell, why isn't lopez in?
Is anyone up in the bullpen?
LOB isn't the sox specialty?
true, no other team leaves men on base.
...
espn just said the sox fans had no hard feelings about damon going to ny. ???????
Great D by Lugo saves a run !
Let's not walk in a run. Orsillo saying Damon loves to get back at the Sox because of how things ended. Give me a break. He's just an opportunist.
Nice! Love to see him make the third out.
.
NICE FUCKING PLAY!
ok lets get some runs!
wow beckett had nothing left.
so who pitches next?
espn just said the sox fans had no hard feelings about damon going to ny.
they must be tripping. MUST.
oh my whoring hell, why isn't lopez in?
Because Joshie had it covered :)
YES! Out of the jam! Wow. Beckett showed some balls there.
WOW !!
Scream out loud !!
(Scared the grandkid)
Damon tries to slide into first...
How big is the play by Lugo now?
Slingbox is not working!!! ARGH! Am so about to kill my boyfriend and his stupid history channel show!
Because Joshie had it covered :)
ya ya..
i think it has more to do with a W for himself rather than a W for the red sox.
but alls well that ends well.
maybe the yankees are being inspired by that ESPN show "Bronx is Burning" .....
come on dustin.
Is White Flag still warming up?
Beckett has to be done, I mean Francona wouldn't send him out for the seventh would he?
way to show some fight after beckett got out the jam
:) tdcg - Love the colorful slang - just joshing you, of course I am still trying to figure out who Joni is
Puulease Ped
1st pitch swinging after 2 walks?
Tito is just playing with fire, this makes no sense.
AH HA!!
Purpose pitch!
alright..I've dawdled as long as I can. gotta run. enjoy the rest of yr night.
Oops
It was just 1 walk, wasn't it.
But a lot of balls
nite, nick. back at 1 tomorrow?
I am also surprised Beckett is in. But he looks pretty good.
:) tdcg - Love the colorful slang - just joshing you
*duh duh chishhh*
hehe, ok :)
of course I am still trying to figure out who Joni is
all about the joni :)
crap. just got home and found out that i got yes network. OH LOOK! THERE'S JOHN MADDEN! christ...gimme a break. i hate the yes network.
God, I HATE that guy. Damn.
we can still come back right?
didn't need that.
Fragging yankees, fragging a-rod, and fragging Tito.
just a bit embarrassing ya know? he shouldn't have bloody well been out there anyway. HUFF.
44 home runs? That's a lot!
Sheesh....
crap. just got home and found out that i got yes network. OH LOOK! THERE'S JOHN MADDEN! christ...gimme a break. i hate the yes network.
NESN isn't any better tonight. It's Roger Clemens Appreciation Night and the Red Carpet all in one.
I am also surprised Beckett is in. But he looks pretty good.
Guess I spoke too soon...
i know it's lame, but i already feel this game is over, so i'm already gazing in the general direction of (our savior, who art in heaven..) curt schilling.
"just got home and found out that i got yes network."
So you must live within one of the circles of hell, huh?
pre 2004 s1c - fragging mfy's time to go to bed because the freaking sox can't come back.
post 2004 - ok, guys, its only three runs and the spankee bull pen sucks. lets do it!!!
white flag time
We rented what I thought was a pretty expensive house on the Cape a couple of years ago that had New York satellite television. No NESN. No red sox on tv. We were mightily pissed. We complained to the realtor.
Damn owner of the house was from New York.
We didn't rent that house again...
im not asking this in a negative or positive way, just honestly taking the temp:
does anyone have faith in schilling tomorrow?
i have faith in him keeping them close (no savior stuff tho) -- and the bats to do some work for a fucking change.
nixon - yes.
we only need to win one.....ugh
does anyone have faith in schilling tomorrow?
I don't. It doesn't mean I don't think he can beat the Yankees. I just can't be confident he will. Especially with Chien-Ming Wang opposing him.
I'm torn.
Yeah, I don't think Shill can keep them down on his own, but if the bats show up, he should be fine.
curt = the boy who lived.
yankees = voldemort.
I will keep focused on this game and worry about tomorrow tomorrow. It is only three runs, and we have six more outs. Foolish optimism, perhaps, but after 32 years, why not?
"So you must live within one of the circles of hell, huh?"
yeah...in pa. sorry. there are a ton of yankee fans here who own a hat and feel they know baseball. in the end, they only own a hat.
tdcg - I wanted to respond to that but then realized that harry potter spoilers were involved. That seemed mean.
The Yankees offense is just such a different animal, and Wang is their ace. Luckily the game's at 1:05 so we don't have to spend all day mulling it over.
torre will yank his wang early tomorrow.
^5 amy ;D
i'm with you (no, i am)
just been a frustrating game. you kinda feel like...meh.
tdcg - I wanted to respond to that but then realized that harry potter spoilers were involved. That seemed mean.
*whistles* i don't know what yr talking about?
although sarah, that really is a fact in and of itself. 1st chapter, year 1 ya know?
Redsock, the yank the Wang line never gets old. Never.
And bennymac - there are plenty of those hat owners here at the heart of hades too!
ok farnsworth. we should hit this fucker.
i think farnsworth needs a new prescription.
Finally! The stupid show about cold war bunkers (no lie - I was missing the game for BUNKERS) is over. Potential homicide averted.
Schilling has usually done well stopping losing streaks, including this year. So I have plenty of faith.
No game thread for me tomorrow probably, Joe Castig on the shaws red sox network (assuming WTIC has the game on).
Alright, doc. Youk's turn.
OK, Lowell! Now, Youk, get it! YAY~
YOUKKK!
YOOOUK!
YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOK!!!!! DONG!!!!!!!!!
ONE MORE RUN BOYS! COME ON.
yooooooooooooooooouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuukkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111
YOUUUUUUUk
the three extra ones add to the excitement!
That was awesome!
DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG
little old ladyglasse son farnsworthless
drew v farns: 5-10, 3 HR
YOOOOOOOOOK DONG
[better late than never, a comment from the mod]
s1c: Better listen closely when Glenn Geffner does his play-by-play. Otherwise you'll miss a lot.
i would take back every bad thing i ever said about jd drew if he cranked one here! at least stop for one day.
Drew takes 4 straight pitches... then whiffs.
Drew the buzz killer
weak semi sort of cut from jd.
take a fucking hack.
jeez...he's horrible. he hasn't had a good swing in a month...minus one home run.
A home run here would be very nice. Walk or base hit would probably bring Rivera in.
THAT AROD HR IS LOOMING LARGE!
Swung at ball 4.
Tek on 3-1: SASAHE'
yes announcers said this is old country hardball. i don't know what that means. i don't want to know.
i've been thinking the same thing. that 4th run - ouch.
Third walk for my guy Tek
fuck all the baldwin bros.
it's .....
fruitbat time!
So, 4 chances against Rivera.
Enter Sandman.
Just go to commerical, WEEI. Kthx.
redsock said...

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
There haven't been many times that you can blame francona for a loss, but with half of JOS questioning sending joshie out for the seventh this one will be one, if, and that is a big if, the sox don't come back.
fragging spankees, fragging tito
farnsworth is kinda cute
*fingers crossed for more!*
what is sasahe?
COME ON OCOC!
sasahe = swinging at shit around his eyes
it's what tek does
(sorry, i know he's your guy)
so, i'm a blog retard. how do you italicize when quoting another blogger? i see the html tags but do i put that before the quote? after? both? sorry.
Earlier - "How big is that play by Lugo (saving the 4th run)
Now - How big is the mistake of letting A-Rod see Beckett one time too many
Not giving up tho, if anybody can get 2 runs in 4 outs, it's us
Get the first run first. Then deal with the second.
italic

with < and > instead of [ and ]
use b for bold
fuck all the baldwin bros
Actually I like Adam ...
He robbed from the rich
And he gave to the poor
Stood up to the man
And gave him what for
Our love for him now
Ain't hard to explain
The hero of Canton
The man they call Jayne
:)
OK, so now it's 2 in 3 outs, although 1 would be enough, because I think we have an edge in extra innings
thanks!
I don't see why they're not going to Okajima right here. We have to cross our fingers with Timlin again.
ESPN IDIOTS!!!!!!! SHUT UP!!!
sorry
had to get that out of my system
OK, so now it's 2 in 3 outs, although 1 would be enough, because I think we have an edge in extra innings
Certainly have the bullpen for it. But you'd best get both runs in the 9th. Being the away team in extra innings is way too nerve-wracking.
Ish - I think your cat says it best - WHY?
I like Tek not because of his hitting (or lack thereof) but because of his leadership as the catcher. I have always had a thing for catchers. Carlton Fisk started it all for me with the Sox.
saving jeemer for the 11th.
Hinske, Lugo, and Pedroia in the 9th. Just might be able to use Kielty.
i like how the espn dolts say the tigers (4 GB) are out of it but the yankees (7 GB right now) have almost clinched the division.
hey, we all have our reasons to like our favourite players. we were arguing about nixon here recently - many people's fave, inexplicable to me, but whatever.
catchers are cool :)
Well this was one of those fortunate Timlin outings.
And here comes the drama.
1st 1-2-3 inning for the mfy tonight.
Nixon was scrappy, not afraid to get dirty, sort of a symbol of the Red Sox spirit, the Boston spirit. I think that's also the appeal of Pedroia and Youk...they curse, sweat, get dirty.
OK, we get three more outs to shame Rivera. Again.
How have comments been? Showing up quickly?
yeah yeah yeah, scrappy, dirty, blah blah blah
sorry. i like players who hit and catch.
ball was low and outside
LOL, L-girl!
Hinske, Lugo, Pedroia - time for the sox to come from behind in the ninth again. A man on and Papi comes to the plate 7/19 with 4 rbi's.
yeah players who hit clutch home runs.
i would like to note that for me, that is NOT the appeal of pedroia. he appeals to me because he is a good hitter and a good fielder.
sweat? curse? who cares?! (except man, can yook sweat, it makes my skin crawl to see it...)
and players who make clutch catches.
i like how the red sox are teasing the mfy fans. making them think they are coming back in the race before crushing them.
that's so what they are doing.
is there a reason hinske is batting?
come on slugo...
It's amazing that nobody else has been able to throw a cutter quite like Rivera in all this time.
Nixon was scrappy, not afraid to get dirty
He was afraid to hit LHP, apparently.
Come on, PED!!! You hit Gagné.. Hit Mo!
I was not suggest that the dirt and sweat appeal to ME (yuck), but I think the guys like it and probably some of the women as well. Like I said, I like Tek: clean, no cursing, no sweating.
is there a reason hinske is batting?
3 for 10 lifetime vs Mo.
amy, i understand. i don't get that kind of appeal myself, as you can tell. i like how when tek makes an out, he just goes back to the dugout, quickly and quietly - the same way he gets on base.
Anyone else sick to their stomaches? Maybe that was just my dinner.
oh well, gnite all
fragging tito, fragging yankees. In curt we trust.
ooo, a tie for the wild card... espn is acting like the yankees just clinched a pennant.
what a boring 9th inning.
i dont have any faith in schilling tomorrow. i hope im wrong.
Pressure's on Schilling tomorrow.
Not to be a pessimist, but if the Red Sox lose tomorrow, there will be a race once again for the AL East.
bitch. oh well. they made it close. what happened to scoring 10 runs a game? i liked that.
Anyone else sick to their stomaches? Maybe that was just my dinner.
Glad it's not just me.
I know - still 6 games up, but DAMN - it's the MF Yankees for christ's sake
The last thing in the world you want is the Yankees in the playoffs. Check Beckett's numbers against NY. Check Dice-K. Heck, take a look at Bloody Sock himself.
Time to root for Seattle, kids. Hard.
there will be a race once again for the AL East.
no way! you gotta be kidding.
good night. hopefully the next time i post in this blog there will be a 7 game lead.
bloody sock??? have you forgotten the outcome of that series????????
curtains never should have been put up before this series, that's the problem. we don't need 'how the east was won' headlines and shit like that. guh, it bothered me right away when everyone went bonkers over our sweep of chi, like it was all over when meanwhile we had two more series' against ny and a month of baseball left.
tomorrow they are toast tho. curt FTMFW!!!!!!!!!
are you implying that if the yankees win the wild card, the red sox won't prevail?
we all want to see a yankeeless october, but if we don't, we will still win the AL pennant.
I think the worst will be over tomorrow, though. Good schedule for the Red Sox from here on out... Play the Yankees at Fenway one more time... BAL, TOR, BAL, TB, NYY, TOR, TB, OAK, and MIN.
ooooooooooh the scary yankees. they always win.
jesus, stop listening to sports radio morons and chb.
6 GA.
we can say it's over or not, it won't effect the guys on the field.
me? i wanna gloat as much as i can.
man, you guys are taking this so hard. we lost two games, we're SIX GAMES UP and it's almost september.
i'm sure not sick to my stomach, altho harleypeyton's comment made me sick
ooooooooooh the scary yankees. they always win.
jesus, stop listening to sports radio morons and chb.
6 GA.
it is hard to snap out of a spell. i think alot of ppl still think 04 was a fluke (sadly..i know)
i'd like to gloat by winning two out of three...not gonna happen.
oh well.
6 games
FAITH!
What happened to FAITH!?
"you gotta have faith"
-george michael
so we bury 'em in mid-sept. at fenway
let their fans think they got a shot for awhile ...
fucking shitstain losers
FTMFW
ok I'll bite what the bleep does that mean?
Yankees have essentially the same schedule down the stretch. They've got SEA and KC and the rest of the AL East. We've got MIN and OAK for the final two series of the regular season.
I think we'll be fine, but its very interesting the way things are shaping up. Root hard for Seattle, for good measure.
ish, sometimes i feel like yr the only one who gets its.
very level headed.
i enjoy all of yr posts.
FTMFW
for the motherfucking win ;)
our schedule is more favourable.
L -- You'll like this one: The Phillies have beaten the Mets twice in the last two days. The NL East lead for those Mets is now down to 3 games.
Seattle goes to Cleveland tomorrow to make up one of those snow-days. One game and then will go to Toronto.
I think that's about enough baseball-mania for me tonight.
Remember the Sox's day-game record.
Frustrating game. Wish I had more faith in Schill ... if bullshit was lights-out stuff, he'd be fine.
We are definitely still in control. Go 38!! Let's not let them get TOO smug before we knock 'em out.
BTW - before I hit the shower.
Thanks for the piece on Gagne, RS. As pissed as I was after he blew 2 late leads, in critical games, I still thought he would bring something to the team.
I felt like something was different lately with him, good to get a little validation.
Later
Thanks, nix. That means a lot. You guys have a good night.
The bats will show up tomorrow night even though Clemens somehow managed to silence them tonight.
In my mind, this was the game we needed and should win with Beckett pitching. It's ok though. We made some noise in the late innings, just not enough.
Doesn't help that we don't have Manny playing (or Kielty who was starting to heat up).
Good night!
L-girl, I apologize for making you sick, and, in truth, for trolling just a little. But I genuinely believe the Yankees are the better team right now, and that may well extend into the playoffs. It's hard to believe that they'll catch the Sox in the regular season, unless, and I repeat unless, Manny's injury keeps him out for an extended period of time.

ah, so harleypeyton was a troll. i wasn't sure and erred on the liberal side. when allan wakes up he can make the final call.
p.s. harleypeyton, i'm not a schilling fan myself. yankee fans have EVERY reason to hate him, double reasons (2001 AND 2004).
The Orioles scratched ace lefthander Erik Bedard from his Saturday start against the Red Sox because of a strained muscle in his right side . . . -Globe
He does that girlish duck when the ball is inside.
The "jack knife ass jut".
He also does it when the pitch is two feet outside.
I think if there's anyone on the Yankees that you'd want to bean to send a message, it would be Jeter.
Would you ever see him charge the mound?
38hotdogs
Heh. ... Various not insignificant athletic achievements aside, I can't stand Schilling much either.
Thanks for coming clean. I have no problem at all with the 1252 comment.
Would you ever see him charge the mound?
No. Never.
