Yankees - 000 010 030 - 4 7 1The seven-batter rally against a shaky Rivera falls short, as Tiz pops to Jeter in short center with the bases loaded. And CI's three-run homer into the Monster Seats off Schilling -- who maybe should have been pulled a few batters earlier -- is the difference.
Red Sox - 100 000 011 - 3 5 0
The Sox blew an excellent chance at scoring off Joba in the seventh. Hisnke doubled and was bunted to third. But Lugo fanned and Ellsbury grounded to first. The Doctor doubled his pleasure and homered in the eighth, finally tagging an earned run on JtC's ERA.
***
The Tigers won this afternoon 6-4, as the Twins left the bases loaded in the bottom of the ninth. Detroit is now only 2 GB the Yankees for the wild card spot.
***
Roger Clemens (4.45, 98 ERA+) / Curt Schilling (3.93, 116 ERA+)
If the Yankees want to entertain even a slim hope of winning the East, Fat Billy has to come through. More importantly, his team's wild card lead has been cut to 2.5 games (the Tigers play the Twins at 2 PM). And we know he's always done so well under pressure.
So while Wimpy Clemens promises to pay us Tuesday for a hamburger today
Schilling will rely on the breakfast of champions:
Steamed.

Laura, I know you aren't here, but I thought you should know that my irritation at the "starting line up presented by Taco Bell" made me think of you.
gonna watch the first couple of innings while eating...so i'll see y'all soon!

L is probably en route home now. She might check in though.
89 fb for strike 1 -- here we go.
Excuse me - LBJ reminds me of Damon? I don't think so, LBJ has an arm.
LBJ has been compared to Damon since before he was drafted.
damn it guys, talk!
Wow. I hope the Keystone Kops routine isn't a theme for the night. Collisions should be with the MFY, guys...

first pitch to jeter gets us the girly flinch
Jeez, just checking in - watching the game on delay. 204 comments, and no pitches thrown yet. Wow! Whose nickname is Oatmeal?
Last 11 games for CI: .181
CLUTCH baby!
just got home. 200+ comments already! I'll work my way through and join you in progress.
no one. "we have lineups" reminded me of the "we have oatmeal" signs you always see (written on a paper plate) in diners.
miller said CI was having a jeter like year.
Whose nickname is Oatmeal?
I feel like this is an excellent nickname and we should use it somewhere.
Oh, I was thinking that "Oatmeal" was a new nickname for Dumbo, since he has oatmeal for brains.
Schilling pitches the best first inning of the three starters in this series. That first inning is so important. Get in there and get out.
Good first inning for G38. Now, to dinner with the family. Since these games average 4 hours, I'm sure I'll see you all later.

Damon drops the ball, damon drops the ball.

Got home just in time to see My Boy score the first run!!!
Love the Roger call at the park.
Crap, I thought that might reach the wall.
morgan: "roger is a battler. he's going to do the best he can."
:>)
Good timing, L.
pitching to contact. Two flyouts!!!!
Joe Moron in prime form.
Time for Tek to end the innings (again)
16th century he called it. monster was named that in the 16th century he wasnt fucking around that this rivalry was centuries old
Dammit.
Looks like the Yankees have a first baseman tonight.
Fragging m-alphabet
Damn it Malphabet.
more chanting, i want more chanting.
RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGER!!
Manny's wearing underwear on his head tonight.
OK. London leaving you.
Hold the lead for me. Please.

Manny's wearing underwear on his head tonight.
This is a no-pants night, for sure.
tek comes out of the squat and canoe swings!!!!
it's all working tonight, guys!
Sweet dreams, Lord.
Just like that! Ya blink, and the inning is over.
Schilling's getting it done, and he's getting it done quickly.
And WHAT a player by the 2007 Rookie of the Year!
Put down the cheeseburger, Roger, it's time to get back out to the mound.
Solved the Morgan problem, put the game on the headphones. Am now listening to uncle joe and the baritone voice of Dave.
Nice quick inning, would like to see six more just like it.
A good play***** by Pedroia.
Gahd, I gotta stop these typos! It's deflating my ego! And you need a big ego when watching these games.
I'd love to hear the chanting even when we're on defense.
still catching up.. past topics:
I hate TWC. my day job is as op. manager at a public access tv station. They've made life worse for subscribers since they took over from adelphia. based outta albany, ny they have the berkshires as part of the Albany "market" rather than in Massachusetts.

my first laugh-out-loud moment of the thread. thanks!
That was a great dive and roll at first by M------icz.
I hate the distracting graphics that espn is using.
now for the next batch of comments.
s1c: We've got Uncle Joe and Brother Dave blaring on the stereo with ESPN on mute. I'd say the only problem is the pitch delays. Almost 2 seconds. But it sure beats ESPN.
That's still fun to watch, even a day later.
the 13 for last 31 ocoC at the plate. C'mon crispy.
Work the pitch counts.
While we're on commercial - I'm about ready to upgrade to a fancy pants new tv. Any recommendations? I figure you guys probably have similar priorities ;)
thanks for the out, torre. idiot.
569 - Career wins, the highest total of wins for any two pitchers facing each other in Fenway Park. The most in any Red Sox vs Yankee game in 99 years since Cy vs who the f*** cares.
Hinske dug that one out!! But I think damon was safe
right over the plate at the belt -- how is that not a strike?
call the rule book, umps. remember the rule book?
"sometimes things happen in Boston"
Oh quit whining - questionable calls go both ways.
Sit down CI, sit Down!!!
damon safe - got a gift there, but he had K'd looking on the previous pitch.
NICE D JD!
O'Brien: Damon was safe.
Castiglione: Yes he was.
Oh well! :)
I hate to say it because it takes manny's bat out of the line up but I like the defense of this outfield.
Another one that I thought would reach the wall falls short, which way is the wind blowing?
we're making some serious contact off of fat man, its gonna pay off pretty soon...
All those chumps who gave MFY Roger a standing ovation (wtf?) at Fenway back in 2003 gonna do it again tonight?
God, that still pisses me off.
billy settling in?
espn showing three of roger's "last starts"
so you're saying he's a lying sack of shit?
Enjoyed ESPN's parade of Roger's "Last Starts".
Maybe they'll give him a standing O when he gets chased from the game next inning. Cheer him off the field.
god, that still pisses me off
Yep, I agree. So, did Roger when any of those Last Starts???
The only "settling in" Billy's gonna do tonight is at a table at Arby's.
Francona: 3 hours of baseball left? God I hope not
hahahaha, arbys.
You think Arbys? My money's on an all you can eat buffet.
yeah, s1c. I caught that too. I'd like a nice, quick win. Of course, I'll take a long drawn out win too.
FUCK YOU A-ROD
"Arby's" sounds funny.
Then again, maybe he'll be distracted by the Taco Bell ad behind the plate.
1-2 fucking 3.
I want Arby's!!!
Schilling has been ROLLING. Just like that, he mows 'em down once again.
PC:
Billy: 19-12-10 = 41
Curt: 16-6-13 8 = 43
Flipping through comments here, I was pleased to see this
my irritation at the "starting line up presented by Taco Bell" made me think of you.
Thank you Sarah!
I vote no on voice chat. Sounds awful.
Hi Andy! I'm watching, but I stared at a screen and typed all day, can't do it all night too.
The 1731 World Series was my favourite.
I can't find anybody asking Jere for $1,000,000. What's up with that?
What I like to see, Schilling 4 IP - 43 pitches. Clemens 3 IP 41 pitches. Lets work the count here and knock this neanderthal out of the game.
" we had povano"
hahahahahahahaha
attaboy G38. Keep turning in those short innings.
at his blog, i think jere said he'd pay a million if clemens actually pitched tonight.
Didn't we hear this shit yesterday?
"they call it the Joba rules"... damn fucking clever. how'd they come up with that name?
he went and got his cleats cause hes a fucking moron
Oh quit whining - questionable calls go both ways.
This is the funniest thing that any Red Sox fan has ever said!
Questionable calls go both ways??? Are you sure they don't only go against the Red Sox?
Sorry to sound like a troll. I won't do it again.
at his blog, i think jere said he'd pay a million if clemens actually pitched tonight.
I'm pretty sure he said that in the comments on one of the game threads.
Lordie - knock it off about JtC.
no one on base, i forgot the signs.
at his blog, i think jere said he'd pay a million if clemens actually pitched tonight.
He did it here, too, to a troll. Thus my comment. I was wondering if anyone had called him on it.
pitch was a bit higher than the ball he called on damon.
fuck you ump.
I'm pretty sure he said that in the comments on one of the game threads.
At least once.
Hi s1c, I've missed you in the last few game threads.
Hi s1c, I've missed you in the last few game threads.

now they can gush over that catch for the next two innings.
This shaving cream commercial where the woman's hands are all over the guy's face--Anyone else think they looked like man hands?
Damnit!
wind-aided dong.
ish - yes! Every time I see it.
sorry -- that was not helped by the wind
it got an extra oomph from CI having his foot on the top step of the dugout.
get the run right back, boys.
Fragging Canoe
That foot of CI's makes all the difference don't you know. Glad this isn't in Yankee stadium would have had to watch the Curtain Call
Fragging Canoe.
NO SCORE SOME FREAKING RUNS
Notice: Game is 75 minutes long, and we've just reached the halfway point.
Blazin'!
51 pitches through 5 innings for Schilling.
!!!
Further to my "top step" comment, this is from a recent Jayson Stark ESPN column:
"OK, one more Yankees note: A scout who recently followed the Yankees for a week gave this unsolicited monologue on Derek Jeter: "The more you see him play, the more you notice all the little things he does during the course of a game that, for the most part, go unnoticed. Just the fact that he's on that top step of the dugout, watching every single pitch, goes a long ways for me. The guy doesn't miss a pitch. He's never up there in the clubhouse, doing whatever, and just coming out for his at-bats. You never see that."
BARF!
I guess I'm the only person here who doesn't mind the Sunday night ESPN team. I mean, Morgan is a dolt, but I don't find him annoying. Miller's fine, and as a team, they're completely innocuous. Nothing like the utter moronitude of the O'Brien/Sut team on Friday night, and nowhere near as bad as Fox.
But I know it's just me.
ESPN.com shows the Sox run being an earned run, TV guys show it being un earned.
Would be nice if we knocked him out of this game like now!
MLB: unearned.
On CI's HOF plaque:
"Saw most pitches from top step of dugout."
Ellsbury needs to start the two out rally.
I think from now on when they mention JtC, we should all drink.
Fatty almost fainted trying to catch Lyndon.
I-girl, I agree.
L, I really don't mind Jon Miller and Joe Morgan. The radio team tonight is just that much better. If WRKO had Glenn Geffner on tonight rather than O'Brien (he and Joe have a terrific dynamic, almost night and day from his ESPN appearances), I'd listen to the TV.
I think from now on when they mention JtC, we should all drink.
I can drink quite a bit, but I don't think I can go that far!
Wow, someone agrees with me! Thanks, David.
(It's L-girl, by the way.)
Hi all, Just got home from the Cape. I see the game has been tied. Oh well.
Hi everyone
Just got in from seeing my 4th grandchild, 2nd grandson, enter the world.
Parker Thomas Baskin - 8lb, 8.6 oz!!
Maybe I should have stayed at the hospital - we were leading when I got in, then *poof*, away it went.
C'mon Sox ! Let's start this kid out on the right track, with a Sox win over MFY
My bad. I knew that.
lugo looks great in the field as of late.
Congrats SoSock!!!!
L-girl - I like Jon Miller just because I think of him as the voice of baseball. I used to listen to Orioles games on WBAL in the late 90s when I lived in Bald'imore - but don't worry born a Sox fan, always a sox fan...
O'brien has just jinxed the game being quick. Mentioned like five times in two minutes how this game is just cruising along.
Of course we need that long inning to be the bottom of the sixth.
nice hackin' cap'n
I think from now on when they mention JtC, we should all drink.
I'd like to still know my name at the end of the game...
Congrats SoSock! I hope you are passing out the cubans!
Is anybody else annoyed by the way Jeter has always seemed to throw the bat away from homeplate after contact? This is something that has pissed me off for as long as I can remember.
FUCK YOU ABREU
what annoys me is how he raises his right hand as he gets into the box, like he's telling the ump to wait until he's ready to hit.
Congrats, sosock!
this upcoming trio will crack it open now.
Congrats sosock! That's fantastic news.
you ready for a rally?
"fuck yeah!"
Congratulations, Sosock!
what annoys me is how he raises his right hand as he gets into the box, like he's telling the ump to wait until he's ready to hit.
I HATE THAT. And he's not the only one who does it, either. Most definitely annoying.
what annoys me is how he raises his right hand as he gets into the box, like he's telling the ump to wait until he's ready to hit.
hmmm, lets see you don't like the foot, you don't like his intangibles and you don't like the hand raising.
c'mon RS admit it he just freaking annoys you!
LETS GO BATS!
61 pitches for Schilling through six!
not to mention the "jack knife ass jut" -- he's not my favourite player, it's true.
"what annoys me is how he raises his right hand as he gets into the box, like he's telling the ump to wait until he's ready to hit."
it very little league-ish
Sosock, Congratulations!!! Wonderful news.
Congratulations, SoSock.
Hey, just saw your post, SoSock!! Congrats!!
jack knife ass jut"
I knew there was something I was forgetting.
congrats, sosock! antoher sox fan!
Is anybody else annoyed by the way Jeter...
we could have a whole game thread just filling in the blank
NOW:
RUNS PLEASE!!!!
Nice inning by 38.
On the side subject - I like the Miller/Morgan combo myself, although I often disagree with Morgan. They are entertaining and fairly knowledgable, and I always try to remember when I want to say "WTF Morgan, any baseball fan knows that" that not everyone listening to him IS a baseball fan, and the more people learn about the sport, the more likely they are to become fans.
FB wanted nothing to do with Papi. Time for Mikey to increase his team leading RBI's.
Following a loss Clemens is 1-5 this year?
61 pitches in 6 innings...wow.
Don't forget the fist pump.
My vote: I don't like Miller at all; he fawns over all the Yankees. I think Morgan is just a lot of blather.
there you go, Allan - you got your chanting
A hit! Let's score. Please.
Let's get this party started!
time for a jd dong.
Here it comes!
(I could listen to the chant all night. You could lull me to sleep with it and I would know the world was well.)
They only get one. Let's get Papi home.
RAHGER!
Drew FC
ON FIRE!!!!!!
So much for working the count.
That k which was not a k has gotten david jonathon all fragged up at the plate. At least it wasn't a dp.
i think there may be a day where there is a molina brother on every team.
Well, we know all the votes against them. I assumed I was the only one who liked them, but it turns out there are a few others.
come on tek, step outside of yrself.
Just how many times does Tek come up with MOB and two outs??
jesus DO SOMETHING GOOD tek
just this once.
I wish Tek weren't an automatic out these days.
Tek at least has made contact tonight. I am feeling like I should forgive him. But still no hits. I predict he makes one good clutch hit tonight.
Fragging Damon, why couldn't shemp have been out there.
Hold em scoreless again here Curt.
damn...where have the bats gone? i really do miss not having manny in there...that inning would have been alot different.
oh tek... sigh.
That was a pretty good catch from Damon.
Now go back to sucking!
good idea hitting it out to noodle
Hey, the bats were there last night and the night before.
I predict he makes one good clutch hit tonight.
Not tonight. I predict one killer clutch hit in the postseason.
1 pitch - 1 out
thanks e-rod.
