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.

«Oldest ‹Older 401 – 600 of 729 Newer› Newest»Hi, Sarah. I will take a post season clutch hit for Tek, but I don't know if I can wait that long. I am getting impatient.
DeSalvo, JtC warming in the bullpen.
get the cunt in there so we can introduce him to fenway.
DRINK!
'bout time torre gets jtc up in this series.
Amy, I'm not saying he might not do it today, just that after this string, he's going to come through in a big damn way when we least expect it.
Of course, I'm incapable of being mad at Tek. Love the man. Even when he's an automatic out.
Yeah, I heard all that Joba Jabber when I first turned on the TV. So annoying.
3 up, 3 down. Schilling deserves some runs.
schill's pitching like it's already the postseason. let's hope he can keep it up.
Joba The Cunt
torre wisely quitting while he's ahead with the fat man.
Sarah, Glad to know I am not alone. He has long been my favorite, but these last few games he has worn me down. Always swinging at bad pitches with two outs and MOB. But I am giving him time to redeem himself. It would be sweet if it were tonight.
great pitching by schill. goddamn.
three hits allowed through seven innings for G38 another good start for G38. The rest did him good, but the bats need to start getting him some runs.
jtc facing the bottom third
See, I think Beckett was calling Joba a cock. You fucking cock.
But that's just the way I saw it.
Schilling really is pitching like his old self tonight. He deserves some serious credit, and even more, some RUNS!
Ya know what? Nevermind, you're right.
time to give JtC an era.
He's totally saying cock. That's what we all thought when we first saw it. Somewhere along the line, it migrated to the other gender.
i hate the cunt
Let's knock this guy (thus, I agree with Ish--cock) around.
Let's eat some Pizza-the-Hut for dinner, shall we?
yes sir!!!!!!
FUCK YOU! THE CUNT!
HINSKE!!!!!!!
YES! Let's prove him FALLIBLE. I love it.
HINSKE!!!! Here we go!
eric the red.
HAHAHAHA!!! A fan runs onto the field... Okay, that's stupid.
But he took Cano's cap right from his head. THAT's funny!
We need to quickly start a Joba chant.
Jahhhhhbaaaaa
Jahhhhhbaaaaa
Jahhhhhbaaaaa
did someone run on the field and take cano's cap???
(allan, remind you of anything?)
what the fuck just happend with cano?
I see a yankee fan has escaped the asylum!
Love a good pinball in the corner there...
Yes, apparently a fan stole his cap.
"Joshua Chamberlain isn't used to being in a situation like this" - Jon Miller - Yeah playing in Fenway's a bitch sometimes...
nice work, ococ
can i use dong and cunt in the same sentence? i'm going for it: it would be great to see a two run dong off joba the cunt!
90 feet away. Let's get at least a long fly ball. Let's move ahead here.
Fenway needs to get LOUD. Get all over this guy.
WOW !
Did a Red Sox player just execute a bunt correctly?!
how come with all the camera folks they've got they cant find one to cover a guy running on the field and stealing the 2nd baseman's fucking cap.
MLB TV fucking up.
NOT NOW
how come with all the camera folks they've got they cant find one to cover a guy running on the field and stealing the 2nd baseman's fucking cap.
They don't show it anymore, don't want copy cats.
dent this fucker's ERA -- lugo
fuuck, lugo struck out.
Damn. Well, LBJ can again be the hero. Are you ready, Laura?
they never show fans on field on tv - that goes way back. it's never ever done.

i think it's a must! i'm surprised it took us this long. well done.
UP to LBJ now!!!
morgan in full joba ball-washing mode.
l-girl said:

fair enough--and somewhere in my memory I remember that, but it still seems all too often they're slow to react to offbeat events on the field.
and damn! they're going at LBJ.
amy, i'm always ready for him :)
l-girl said:
They don't show it anymore, don't want copy cats.
I did not say that.
fucking cunt.
Damn, a wasted lead off double. How did we do that?
Why, why did ocoC bunt? Fragging Francona.
I mean single.
fucking motherfucking fuck.
damn it.
went to a phillies/brewers game earlier this year. a fully naked man ran dropped out of the left field seats onto the field and it took them like a minute to catch him. i'm not particularly a fan of seeing naked men, but this was the highlight of the game...by far.
i'm actually okay with the bunt at this point, 7th inning, 1-1 game.
...
my first game at the toilet (an early date with L!) was the one where rice went into the stands to get the fan who stole his cap. sept 1986. i was out on the beer line though and missed the whole encounter.
Yeah those are def man hands on the edge ad.
yeah...even if ococ grounded out the runner may have gotten to third.
I support Coco bunting. I don't support Lugo striking out.
That was Schilling's 70th pitch right there. Here's 71.
sure you did--as s1c. I have trouble with name even when they're printed right in front of me. sorry 'bout that.
Do you think the suicide squeeze would have worked with Lugo up and Hinske on 3rd?
Why, why did ocoC bunt? Fragging Francona.
It's what I'd have done, even tho it's not Billy Ball correct. Late in game, tie score, you just have to count on Lugo to make contact, and he didn't.
Schilling still in. Outlasted Roger. Good for him.
lopez and mdc up
nick, no problem, i agreed with it anyway
KKurt!
Mient..whatever...two hits. Just how many former Red Sox are on this team?
i was at a mfy game (orioles?) sitting with a friend out in LF and this guy was standing up, doing this whole pretend strip tease (for like an entire inning), he finally yanked down his pants for some full frontal and the cuffs were on him likethat!
pretty funny.
gameday has schilling's first pitch to hgh at 49 mph.
Allan, I was expecting the Jim Rice cap game, I forgot you were treated to a full monty at YS.
MFY's going to lose the dh?
Posada has the gear on. Yankees pull the DH, ISH you get your wish a pitcher batting.
rice story right after benny's naked man story above.
FUCK!
Fragging HGH. What happened on the throw?
oops, you did the jim rice cap thing already. our first time ball game together! crazy night.
damn!
Shit. At least no one scored. So tired of Yankee fawning by ESPN. Though they do like LBJ's fielding.
Damon, thx you rotton sob
joe pulling a jimy williams, but seemingly on purpose.
(fuck yeah on damon)
morgan insisting torre told him they have 4 catchers on the team.
lumberjack
Good Job!!
Don't give Jeter anything to hit. Please.
WHERE THE FUCK ARE THESE PITCHES!?!?!?!?!
miller: "jeter is the best in the game in these situations, with runners on base"
they keep track of that shit, jon, he is not. stop being a tool. call him good and stick to the facts.
Holy Shit !
I just heard an announcer give Schilling some credit !!!
we will see lopez for abreu right?
get him now curt.
odd, miller and morgan said nothing when molina went out to chat with fatman
Let's get this K. My heart is pounding. I hate this tension. FUCK
Oh hell.
fuck
better mute, y'all
Why does Miller have to sound SO HAPPY? I hate him. How can you like him, Laura??
may I simply add a FUCK!
Well screw me sideways.
heck of a job, brownie.
amy, wtf. i didn't make the call.
Who's brownie, Redsock?
FUCKIN HELL
Jeter.... gahhhhhhhhhhhhhh
he's a national announcer, he's not going to sound like remy & orsillo. if ortiz hit one, he'd sound the same way.
so ... slow hook on curt?
pull him after the 2 hits and have lopez for damon and mdc for ci?
Laura, I thought you said above you liked Miller, no?
that inning right there? a nice primer the differences of managing inside and outside the box .
NOT Good.
I'm with Nixon, It shouldn't have been a hitter's count. At least 1 of those 1st 2 was a strike.
I think I just heard Parker Thomas (now almost 4 hours old) say -
Fucking Jeter!
Brownie = Horse show judge that ran FEMA for Bush. It's a famous Shithead quote after Katrina.
what a tease.
pull him after the 2 hits and have lopez for damon and mdc for ci?
I would have rather seen MDC to get Jeter, but man. Schill made a couple of real good pitches, and he also got that borderline pitch called against him.
It would have been high drama with MDC also... could have been the same result. I'm not going to question Francona on this one.
Dear TWC,
If it's really crucial that you screw up my cable during the game, could you at least do it right BEFORE that all-too-tangible dong? I didn't really want to see that.
Could I please have the game back now?
Give me a fragging break. These guys suck tonight with the bat and now schilling gives up a three run job.
And miller and Morgan having orgasms over jeter. If i wanted fawning over CI I'd watch this game at the in-laws.
Fragging Sox.
i like them enough. i have no major problem with the sunday night espn team.
his HR call was not any different than any other national announcer in a situation like that.
my "wtf" was for "laura, how could you like him". i just do, it's no big deal.
"he's a national announcer, he's not going to sound like remy & orsillo. if ortiz hit one, he'd sound the same way."
Well, I will listen when Ortiz does in the next inning. :) Perhaps I just have biased ears. (My husband says I do; he thinks they are all pro-Red Sox. All in the ears of the beholder, I supppose.)
Anyone up for a little HBP action with MDC and Slappy? I am.
THIS ONE IS NOT OVER.
Red Sox and Yankees at Fenway. NOT OVER.
Don't hang your hats yet.
(Just, throwing that little bit out there)
i think lopez should have been brought in for giambi.
one switch for another.
Ohhh, that Brownie! I didn't see it in the glossary, and I wasn't thinking out of the JOS universe!
not over. just annoying.
Visciano warming.
Looks like a good victim to me.
i can tell -- pre-2004, i would have spent like 5,000 words on, ripping tito.
... not over. never over.
At least we K'd A-Rod.
slappy showing his fall colors.
Pedroia, it is crucial that you get this thing started. Get on any way you can. We need baserunners.
alright, we got:
fuck yeah
flo
dr. d
ON FIRE
varitef
dumbo in as catcher
jtc now batting 9th.
jtc now batting 9th.
Too bad he won't actually bat. :) It'd be beanballin' time.
Damn...oh well. Even if we lose we denied them a sweep and the Pats are shaming the Chargers.
Let's hope Baltimore continues to be the thorn in the Yankee side that they usually are.
please note joe morgan's vote for FUCK YEAH for ROY
guess we all better change our votes!
OK, Morgan thinks Pedroia should be Rookie of the Year. So maybe not complete Yankee bias.
fuuuuuuuck -- you can't hit a pitch like that. can't.
great. this fucking sucks........sucks!
I HATE it when we make Joba look good.
DOCTOR DONG ACTION.
I'm counting on you guys to keep me posted on our comeback. The cable just died and my computer crashes everytime I try to run stinking gameday.
FUCK YOU JOBA
WAKE UP PEOPLE!
there's our doctor!!!! do we love this man????
4-2 time for J.D. to do the same.
Sorry, I just didn't hear as much excitement there for Lowell as I did for Jeter. First comment, that it was only one run.
DOCTOR DONG!!!
Take THAT Mr. "No earned runs in my career"!!
mike lowell=gold
there goes the 0.0 era.
fuck your cunty ERA.
Again, Miller...only one run, and the "great" Rivera coming in next. No bias? Is it just me?
amy, give it a rest, eh?
Ok, I am done. Just the damn lawyer in me. Sorry.
amy, because it was only one run. didn't tie the game or put us in the lead. not as big of an impact as a 3 run, 2 out hr to take the lead.
This ump is just pissing me off, no way that was a strike.
Amy, I agree with you.
no need to apologize. not the lawyer in you, the red sox fan in you. everyone's against us. even when they're not.
And feel free to complain at length about it!
(gagne in)
too bad we blew that first game.
Cap, Hinske, and oCoC in the bottom of the 9th.
Nah, I will now just complain about the Yankees themselves. Displaced anger on my part. Just mad in general about the score.
what david said.
if ortiz had done what jeter did, morgan would have flipped too.
amy, because it was only one run. didn't tie the game or put us in the lead. not as big of an impact as a 3 run, 2 out hr to take the lead.
this is also true.
some soxy things still grate on laura. she hasn't flushed all the toxins out of her system yet!
Gagné: 70 mph curve. 95 mph heat.
Cap, Hinske, and oCoC in the bottom of the 9th
so we start a one-out rally.
for me the worst part - IF we don't come back - is that the tigers won.
we're definitely making the playoffs, but if we want a yankeeless october, the yankees need to lose on the days the tigers win.
But bitching about the media is often the biggest thing on the blog.
I've got some faith in the Captain. Enough not to count him as an automatic out. Not yet.
Yes, that is really why I am so mad. I just hate these nights when my house is like a civil war. I don't want the Yankees in the post season for all the usual reasons, but also for the sake of peace in my house.
Had the game on at the burger joint. Left when it was 1-1, going into top of the 8th. By the time got home, yikes. Not over yet, though, even with the "great Rivera" coming in. I seem to recall winning a couple against him?
some soxy things still grate on laura.
exactly. having lived on both sides of the divide, i have a more objective eye.
and i hate all the fucking whining!
fuck man. schill was one strike away. ugh
gameday has three highlights from this game you can click on to see: all 3 of them are yankee highlights.
You two are pretty funny. Rooting for the SAME team and still taking a different side of things here. I think I will stay out of it! I have enough problems here in my house.
Gagne did well. That's a good sign.
Okay guys....
It's just a cutter... Hit that mofo!
all sox fans do not see everything the exact same way...
this is not a serious argument. i should hope that much is clear.
so jason -- THIS is when we need you to get on base. NOW.
It starts with you, Captain.
do. not. swing. at. high. crap.
say it with us!
let's do what we do to the fruitbat.
on a positive note, i think arod is 1 for 11 this weekend.
time to earn that C...
"this is not a serious argument. i should hope that much is clear."
Of course.
(Notice I have given up on the HTML tags...afraid of starting another case if Italic-itis like Dietcokegirl did. Plus I type too slowly.)
NOW is when I want that hit from Jason.
no sasahe... no sasahe... no sasahe... not much of a chant
DON'T SWING.
YES!!!!!!!!!!!
CAPTAIN EYES.
okay now... HINSKE!! You're up!
YES, he finally didn't swing. He listened to me.
tek lays off the high stuff.
fucking a alright
NICE AB TEK !!
It's a start :)
COME ON OCOC!!!!
ok, not a dp, we're still in it
Will LBJ once again get a chance to be the hero?
OC OC OC OC OC OC
we need something extra very crispy!
Come on, oCoC. It's just a cutter. Anticipate the movement.
pinch run someone for tek.
I'd feel better if Manny were here. Lyndon doesn't have a lot of experience to face Mo.
Up to Lugo to keep it going. If Tek can get on base, why not Lugo?
Lyndon didn't have experience against anyone else, either.
and then there was julio.
a lugo dong?
why the f not?
yes yes, i'm not saying he can't do it. it's just a lot of pressure for a kid. but we have to get to him first.
YES!!
