Andy Sonnanstine (5.73, 80 ERA+) / Tim Wakefield (4.39, 104 ERA+)
Wakefield has pitched 19 straight scoreless innings against Tampa, dating back to July 27. ... On August 21, Boston battered Sonnanstine for eight hits and seven runs in five innings.
The Yankees are in Toronto tonight: Hughes/Marcum. The Tigers (3.5 GB in the WC) host Texas this afternoon.

«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 400 of 463 Newer› Newest»I'd certainly take a sweaty walk...
Appliance doctor is here to make an emergency visit, meaning over $300 to fix the damn refrigerator. BUt we have no choice---thing is filled with food for Rosh Hashanah. So you think the Sox have problems?
Sweaty walk. And heeeeere's oCoC!
yookitude! and we're loaded again.
toronto has no game against wonderboy 5+ era huges wtf.
Someone has a chance to win a car here. Fourth batter in the 5th hits a grand slam, someone wins a new car. Heh.
Hey, you gotta have a fridge. $300 is less than the cost of food poisoning.
joe magrane on rays tv says the rays are teasing the red sox into thinking they can get back in it.
Well, no car. But a run will do!
Can I haz more!?
How bout we score a run w/out giving up an out, eh?
in play, run(s)!!!!
Maybe the tide is turning now that I am back? Only three run gap! How did TB score all those runs? Why is everything in italics? Is this some alternative universe of JOS?
oh. a sac. still. I like the positive excitement even with the losing score. yooo-ha.
thanks for the migraine update, david!
YES
SLUUUUUGO!!!!!!!!!!!
can't stop slugo ...
you can only hope to contain him.
HEADY BASE RUNNING FOR LUGO..
YEAH SLÜGO!!!
yeah yook! sneak over that plate.
redsock, no problem. down here in tampa it's all i get.
YOOOOOOOK!!! It's great to see these guys be agressive!
no dongs, but a couple of nice sacs.
a few innings ago he was giddy that the rays would pass the orioles tonight and climb out of last palce
Yep! Large sacs.
Birthday boy up.
Birthday boy hacking.
and Birthday Boy down. But that's okay! Just have to keep the Rays from scoring.
Memo to Tampa Bay announcers: Never get giddy about anything.
can the bullpen plzzz have a 1-2-3 inning?
Yep, italics only in internet explorer.
The sox need to hold them this inning.
Now we'd BETTER win this game, it will be too annoying if we don't!
Memo to Tampa Bay announcers: Never get giddy about anything.
Except maybe their AAA club. They're in the playoffs! (Durham Bulls and their Blue Monster.)
no dongs, but a couple of nice sacs.
Jeez, I thought I'd checked into the wrong thread there for a moment.
That was a nice inning, tho. Glad to see us still working.
BTW - I like Lugo MUCH better in the 7 or 8 spot. Just my opinion :)
Worst name for a pitcher ever! Grant Balfour.
His cousin's name is Joey I. Giveuphomeruns.
L is telling me about new posts and I keep refreshing in Firefox and nothing is coming up. After refreshing 3-4 times.
Hanging up, long hourglass times, frankly it sucks for me right now.
SUX.
Ish, you are really up on the minors, eh? That's cool. Can't imagine how you have time for it, but it's neat.
ish, actually 3 of 4 rays minor league affiliates are in the playoffs
Wow, I leave for 15 mins and we're almost there! Keep them dongs and sacs coming!
Nice, Corey!
HUGE K
FANTASTIC TURN on that double play by Pedroia!!!
It would take a fool to discount defense for rookie of the year. Perhaps the other leading candidate for rookie of the year grounds into a double play. Take THAT.
Woo Hoo!
Just what the Doctor ordered!
Great play. Grrrreat.
DING-DONG!!
ROOKIE OF THE YEAR DONG!!!!!
YEAH!! WORK IT PEDROIA!
DUSTY DONG
That's our Dusty!!!!!!
Yes, refrigerator is fixed, and Sox tie the score!
pee-wee dong :)
back with IE and -- it's working fast and with NO ITALICS.
yay IE
Buried in work, so I'll read the thread later. But just wanted to stop by and say "Woohoo! Fuck Yeah!"
Sidenote: LMFAO!
I'm sorry about the irrelevant posts, I just howled at that. I don't know what's scarier, the message or the fact that that's a dude.
papi! me likey
WOW, I should really stop watching...whenever I go away, good things happen.
"9 a side" - DRINK SOME RALLY JUICE!

i think it's cuz i deleted my post ;)
You know. You hear the old line about the guy who turned the great defensive play having a good at-bat if he leads off the next inning so often you get sick of it. - But DAMN if it isn't so often true
WOW, I should really stop watching...whenever I go away, good things happen.
magical fan alert! ;p
there's off-topic and there's off-topic. tim's post is as off-topic as it gets.
this off-topic post brought to you by the slow, clunky, overloaded-with-useless-features firefox
mdc warming.
i think it's cuz i deleted my post ;)
Yeah tdcg!!!
come on boys lets get some more runs!!!!!
DOCTOR 4-for-4
I am really feeling better. Nice to see the bats working again.
BALLS ON THE WALL. The Good Doctor delivers again.
You hear the old line about the guy who turned the great defensive play having a good at-bat if he leads off the next inning so often you get sick of it.
These days people mostly say it sarcastically. Like "how often does that happen, the guy who makes the great play comes up 3rd in the next inning and walks?"
Drew...keep it going.
And now for the new and improved JD Drew - brought to you by Extreme Makeover - Season 2
Sosock, that's a reality show I just might watch.
Drew at least having a good long at bat.
Fastball after fastball after fastball, then a curve, and Drew stayed with it and fouled it off. He's seeing the ball very well right now it looks like.
good swings too.
way to battle, drew-r
Next pitch Drew has an official long at-bat.
By God - he's fighting!
fahhhhhhhhhhhk foul ball. looked so good off the bat.
ahhhh, thought that was a double, just a foul. "new piece of lumber for drew" says don.
So I finally got to check the box score...can't believe it was 8-1 at one point. Go Sox! Nice comeback.
Nice AB!!
What an at-bat. I'd call that one his best AB of the season right there.
Walk to load them. I am actually starting to think Drew may be coming around.
ahhhh, thought that was a double, just a foul. "new piece of lumber for drew" says don.
You must be ahead of me on MLBTV. Right as he said that, I read it. Twas crazy!
Frag. He broke his two hit bat. TG he drew the walk, get it drew!!!!
time for youuuuuuk dong!!!!
youk homers here.
drew fouls off 6 pitches and then takes an obvious "balfour"
Well ALRIGHT! I think we're about due for the Sweaty Dong.
:)
"can't believe it was 8-1 at one point."
yes, it looked dismal.
damn, baseball is crazy.
Mirabelli's trying to keep Beckett warm.
clement: draped over joshy in the dugout.
ok.
NICE
ALMOST!!
*bases clearing triple!!!!*
YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOK
TRIPLE
YES!!!!!!!!!
Am so glad I took B-fly to dance. Means I got to watch the bases clearing triple. Almost as good as the Dong!!!!!
This Youk Triple brought to you buy Wrigley's new Triple-Mint gum. Triple your flavor, triple your fun!
can't believe it was 8-1 at one point.
The way I saw it at that bleak time...if it could happen to us last week with our 100 million dollar man on the mound, we can damn well do it to TB.
YOOOOOOOOOOK!
BIG :)
Damn, I wanted to see an inside the park dong (2 in one year for yook - would have been amazing)
Yook should be sponsored by Secret or Dial.
Whoo-hoo! 13-9
Baseball is crazy. We once listened to a non-Sox game on the radio (can't remember the teams, but it was about four years ago) where a team came back from something like a 13 run deficit. It might have been the Indians or Tigers. Some Midwest team.
NICE. 13-9
oCoC!!!!!!!
this.
is what i'm talkin bout ;)!
Giddy!!!!
!!!!!ocoC
Hey Joe Migraine! How ya doin' now?
:>)
Whoo-hoo! 13-9
Fuck sakes, I saw that post before the pitch that Crisp hit to make it 13-9!
Damn u slow mlbtv.
Ribby for OcOc
amy, yah it's nuts. i remember like last year or something the phillies (or the cards?) came back from 11 runs down or something in the 9th, to win it! insane.
Amy, you're not talking about the famous Seattle-Cleveland game, are you? It was the biggest comeback in baseball history. If you google it, there's a Wikipedia page on the game.
OK, trivia question to which I do not know the answer: What is the largest deficit any team has ever overcome to win a game?
Tim - I'm in the same shape with GDGD (goddamn GameDay)
Saw the Woo-Hoo post before the pitch showed up on screen.
Oh well, better than nothing at all
That must be the game, L-girl. I thought it was the Indians. I will look for it on Wikipedia because I know the date, roughly, was in August, maybe 4-6 years ago?
Redsock, I believe he just said Delmon Young is the obvious choice for ROY.
august 5 2001, i think allan has the details
Damn guys - 2 straight 1st pitch swings with fresh meat on the mound.
Discipline, puhlease!
August 5, 2001, that's the game. It was my birthday. We had driven to Maine to see friends and somehow got the game on some distant radio station that came in clearly and heard the whole comeback. It was the best non-Sox game I had heard since Seaver's 19 K game in 70 (I got it right this time, Redsock---19, not 20)
L's BOYYYY.
"I will look for it on Wikipedia because I know the date, roughly, was in August, maybe 4-6 years ago?"
Very good! August 5 2001.
Three teams have come back from 12 runs down:
1911 Detroit Tigers
1925 Philadelphia A's
and Cleveland on August 5, 2001
SEA 048 020 000 00 - 14 17 0
CLE 000 200 345 01 - 15 23 1
No team has ever come back from 13 runs down to win a game.
and the hits and the runs just keep on rolling.
Rolling, rolling, keep those doggies rolling.
brought to you by carmel by the sea mayor.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I do believe -
That was Laura's Boy!
Niiiice Lyndon.
Multi-dong inning for DP?
Apparently I tend to add one to every baseball memory I have---12 run deficit, not 13. 19 Ks for Seaver, not 20. Thanks, Redsock, for keeping me on my toes. But I am likely one of the more senior posters here, so forgive my bad memory.
Heh, there was a couple seconds where the score was 9-11 (when Lowell came in on Yook's triple and Drew was at third)
Redsock, I believe he just said Delmon Young is the obvious choice for ROY.
I hate to bust his bubble but the Sox have the next two ROY's locked up.

lbj - 2008
Amy, that is so cool, what a lovely picture that brings up.
I love driving somewhere, on a long road trip, or coming home late at night, tuning in to some distant game, getting caught up in the excitement.
Plus your birthday and an amazing game. Great memory.
Now THAT was a good half inning.
TBD: 040 410
BRS: 001 436
fuck yeah!
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I do believe -
That was Laura's Boy!
You are correct, sir!
I was busy commenting and modding, I forgot to say:
THAT'S MY BOY!!!!
now if toronto could just score 8 in the 9th. that would be the cherry on my sundae :)
thanks for saving mdc's arm!
It's hard to believe I got home in the middle of the 5th and we were down 9 - 4, and the 6th has just ended with us up by 5. No wonder it seems like I've been watching the whole game
why would anyone give up on these fuckers?
8-1? please.
So often by the time a game ends, it feels like a completely different game than the one you started.
That didn't come out well, but maybe you know what I mean.
I like your thinking, Dietcokegirl. But I will also be happy to keep the 5 game lead in tact.
MDC comes in throwing GAS. 96-97.
6 fastballs... And then the hook.
gomes.
he gone.
MDC comes in throwing GAS. 96-97.
Better than sniffing it.

oh me too. for sure! i'll still enjoy my sundae, cherry or not ;D
By the way, was there any report on whether Wakefield was injured or did he just not have the knuckler working tonight?
But I will also be happy to keep the 5 game lead in tact.
Remember when there were MFY fans waving around four fingers at a beloved Joy poster (whose name escapes me)...It appears that those same four fingers are still waving a month later.
MDC comes in throwing GAS. 96-97.

Navarro just sniffed some gas just now.
Yankees win.
Nice try by Dusty! He has spunk, as Lou Grant would say.
Yeah Tim, that's 9Casey I think. He hasn't been around lately but I'd love to hear what his friends are doing now.
MFY scored 9 runs on 11 hits.
Spooky!
Wakefield was injured or did he just not have the knuckler working tonight?
I wouldn't be surprised if the back tightened up on him, but he was getting absolutely smacked around today.
One more out, please, MDC.
Don: Tampa Bay not going quietly.
Lou Grant :)
weird.
Jeemer getting warm.
Phew, I thought I might be dating myself there with the MTM reference. :)
Yeah Tim, that's 9Casey I think. He hasn't been around lately but I'd love to hear what his friends are doing now.
That doesn't surprise me. He certainly always has a retort for something, it seems.
mdc looks like he's growing a beard. maybe just not shaving...
(oh jeez here comes god bless america)
Strange rendition of God Bless America...all tenors? Or was it my TV?
wow, the pats videotape-cheating scandal is scandelous.
I love how NESN shows Schilling for half of this, probably with a stiffy in his pants for GWB.
nice tim :)
Strange rendition of God Bless America...all tenors? Or was it my TV?
I thought so too. But I'm sure I couldn't sing it better than they could.
MDC is a new papa. Not sure if you saw that but his wife had a bouncing baby boy either yesterday or sunday. So, he's probably been to busy to shave.
wow, the pats videotape-cheating scandal is scandelous.
*whispers* we're not allowed to talk about that here! but yeah, i only heard a little bit about it, probably will watch the sportscenter segment about it to get caught up on it.
it's gba that helped push me away from the yankees. i couldn't take all that military-pseudo-patriotic crap at the stadium anymore.
nope, amy i used to watch MTM on nick-at-nite all the time :))
I love how NESN shows Schilling for half of this, probably with a stiffy in his pants for GWB.
And yet I don't think he'll in much of a hurry to drive Gehrig to the recruiting office.
BIG PAPI DONG!!!!
Papi dong
PAPI!!!!!!!!!!
FLO
GOOD TIMES DONG!!!!!!!!
PAPI DONG!!!!
Good for Papi, bad knee and all!!
oh fuck yea! FLO!!!!!
Tack one on to this never-had-a-doubt victory.
came back from putting emma to sleep, er..to bed and wow! watching GDGD, but dang-oh-dang!
Tim: that video was, ah, terrifying. Here's one that is NSFW if anyone is reading over your sholder or is easily offended, but I was dying laughing: http://tinyurl.com/2r8ad2 (youtube link)

i didn't know mdc is a new daddy. cool.
nope, amy i used to watch MTM on nick-at-nite all the time :))
that's cool.
i have a feeling amy and i watched it in real time. :)
drew dong!!!!
DREW DONG!!!!! WOW.
What slump!?!?
JD DONG!!!
ON FUCKIN FIRE........
Nick at Nite...that didn't exist when I watched MTM...as a first run show!
And yes, that Yankee tenor who sang GBA got on my nerves. But on 9/11, it seems appropriate.
DREW HITS IT OUT! OMG!
WERD!!!!!!!!
double dong!!!
(i could've got naughtier on that)
DREW DONG!
so last night we don't score a run, first two innings tonight we don't score, it feels like we're never going to score again... and now this. ah, baseball.
This is getting to be maybe TOO much fun! I want them to save some for the series this weekend.
He couldn't have picked a better time to step it up!
NSFW=not safe for work--no nudity in this case, but could be found offensive, so proceed at your own risk.
I know...I'm a digg-er so no need to explain...no need to worry though, I'm a student. Will check it out next commercial break...the title does sound promising though.
another blast upton gives up on that was catchable. hits low on Cf wall.
yeah -- witasick, you are next!!!
At this point I am like, save some for tomorrow and the weekend guys!!!
And yes, that Yankee tenor who sang GBA got on my nerves.
Oh no, it had nothing to do with that. More involved.
i love when yr ahead and then you can be all 'good play' about the other team. really takes my stress level down. thx sox!!
look at 'em chalking up the hits. even cash is over .100.
This is incredible, isn't it? The Red Sox were down by 7 runs going into the bottom of the third, and now they're AHEAD by 7 runs.
I knew they had a good chance of coming back, but this is icing on the cake.
At this point I am like, save some for tomorrow and the weekend guys!!!
Especially Friday! haha
it's getting to be like that at fenway (or it is already) with the relentless (usually crap) renditions of gba + military/patriotic nonsense.
16-9.
Timlin warming. We're safe, right?
figured you'd know, Tim, but an acronym like NSFW is best defined.
Gotta get me to a tv.
Wow - Tim man comes in and I don't even feel nervous! Cool
Bryan Corey in line for the win for the Red Sox.
"Oh no, it had nothing to do with that. More involved."
I have only been to Yankee Stadium once, and it was before 9/11, so I wouldn't really know, except for the games I have seen on TV.
it's getting to be like that at fenway (or it is already) with the relentless (usually crap) renditions of gba + military/patriotic nonsense.
that's a shame. it's bad to see everyone succumb to it.
interesting choice of words: renditions :/
i won't post a link, but if anyone is interested, i wrote about my experience sitting down during GBA, it's linked on my blog under "a sit-down strike"
don't be shocked, i refer to myself as a yankees fan :)
Detroit splits the doubleheader against Texas. Tonight they win 4-1.
NYY --
DET 4 GB
SEA 6 GB
figured you'd know, Tim, but an acronym like NSFW is best defined.
Understandable.
He gone.
