Red Sox - 000 200 070 - 9 10 0Schilling was superb (7-6-0-1-4, 100).
Angels - 000 000 001 - 1 8 0
Ortiz and Manny hit back-to-back home runs to start the fourth.
After Schilling got out of a small jam in the 7th, Boston sent 11 men to the plate in the top of the eighth: Lugo walked, Pedroia doubled to left (3-0), Youkilis hit a sac fly to center (4-0), Ortiz singled to left, Manny walked and Ellsbury pinch-ran, Lowell doubled to left (5-0), Drew hit into a FC, no out (6-0), Varitek doubled to left center (7-0), Crisp singled to center (9-0), Lugo popped to first, and Pedroia grounded into a FC at second.
ALCS 1 is Friday at Fenway!

Curt Schilling (3.87, 118 ERA+) / Jered Weaver (3.91, 111 ERA+)
Manny Ramirez: "Even when you don't feel good and you get hits, like I said, you're a bad man."
Dustin Pedroia's left shoulder seems fine. He took batting practice on Saturday. Terry Francona: "He's fine. Actually, we expected him to be a little more tender than he was."

OOOOOHHHHHH MAANNNY!! You're just a brute!
BACK TO BACK DONGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
MANNY AND PAPI, THEY BOTH BAD MEN!!!
BAD MAN!
Ish - Are you taping any of the Uncle Joe and Brother Dave broadcasts?
Loved Joe's call on MBM's Walk Off so was wondering.
Weaver already over 70 pitches!! Keep the pressure on boys!!!
Ok, Schill, knock them dead.
Uhhh... was it something I said? :)
Ish - Are you taping any of the Uncle Joe and Brother Dave broadcasts?
I am taping the highlights that they play at the end of the games. And of course, if something big happens I'll tape that too. So far, I have highlights of game 1, the 9th inning of game 2, Manny's interview, the highlights, and Joe and Dave's wrap-up at the very end.
I'm working on making a nice postseason package at the end.
I also have John Sterling's call of Pronk's walk-off single in Cleveland.
I have Ken Coleman calling an Ellis Burks home run circa '88 if anyone wants that:)
So I'll take that as a Yes Ish!!!
Would love to get that Joe call. Deep into the night!! Loved it!!!
Great inning Schill!
I have Ken Coleman calling an Ellis Burks home run circa '88 if anyone wants that:)
Oooh, that's cool!
Somebody made a montage of the 2004 season with Joe and Jerry. I had it for awhile but lost it sometime along the way.
sweet, 1-2-3 groundball out inning ;)
Good to see Schilling getting a fast inning and getting our guys back up at bat.
good inning, ol' man
The only problem is the quality of the audio isn't that terrific. I'm working on it, though.
Man !!!!ocoC really, really sucks vs Weaver.
SLUUUUUGO
keep yr attention n lugo, weav. meanwhile back at the plate its 3-0
Ok Dustin, if its close you better swing.
runge doesn't like getting shown up
i love watching a weaver meltdown. comes complete with The Face. (see glossary.)
dammit.
fragging kidding me.
not what I wanted to see from youk.
OK schill two more innings just like the last one.
I don't see a reference for the Face in the glossary, but I do remember good old Jeff Weaver flipping out when he would start giving up hits.
Face: it might be under Derek Lowe face.
Yup, I just checked. Allan has it under Derek Lowe Face. I just call it The Face.
SIDDDOWN!
I once heard Jeff Weaver being interviewed after giving up a ton of HRs. He said, I realize now what I'm doing wrong, it's ok whatever happens, I just shouldn't show it on my face.
THAT'S what he thought the problem was?? His facial expressions?! Try not giving up 5 home runs in a game, Jeff!
And that he would actually say that to the media... amazing.
Weaver - 89 pitches after 5.0
Schill - 56 pitches after 4.1
I like it , I like it.
Yeah, I see it. But I LIKED Derek Lowe. Weaver---my husband used to cringe every time he pitched. And I would just lap it up.
found the glossary link for anyone interested.
This at bat is where Schilling needs that big splitter.
Finally. Jeez I am starting to really hate Figgins.
Come on, Schill. TBS says this is the biggest at bat of the game for you. Hmmph. Showed them!
SCHILL
Yeah baby!!!
Sticking my head in for 5 seconds to say I love that hot Dominican Dong on Dong action.
Back later!
More runs, please.
A BB for Papi. Now Manny, don't let Scioscia play any games with you. (Though that one was not intentional.) Bye, Weaver.
bye bye baby weaver
i hate that mota guy (or as redsock call him "tbs' tina")
Poor Allan is missing this whole game! It's the only game he wasn't able to work his schedule around. I told him if he had to miss a game, better in the DS than the rest of October. Of course it still sucks.
Yes, that's too bad for Allan---and for us! I miss his reassurances, though we haven't needed them so far. Let's keep it that way.
Papi's OBP on the series so far? .833. Not too shabby...
Poor Allan. Hopefully there won't be any more DS games for him to miss.
I told him if he had to miss a game, better in the DS than the rest of October. Of course it still sucks
True, oh so true!
The only bad thing about next weekend as far as I am concerned is the whole missing games in the ALCS.
Angels' broadcasters not sounding very hopeful- "if the Angels somehow manage to get to a game 4, they will be facing Josh Beckett again."
Then again, I don't blame them. 9 in a row, here we come
71 pitches for Schilling. I haven't seen any action in the pen though. Hope Francona is aware that big daddy starts struggling around 80 pitches.
I have to believe this is Schilling's last inning. He's looking damn good, though.
More runs please. More runs please!!!
Another nice inning from Schilling. Will he come back? I bet that was still under 80 pitches.
this is one of those games where it seems like its 7-0
The Sox DO have 7 other guys hitting, right? Come on boys, runs please. It's OK kick them and not give them any hope whatsoever.
Would Francona really pull Schilling after 79 pitches, though? He has a quicker hook in the playoffs than in the regular season, but I wonder whether it's *that* much quicker.
Sooo---who's pitching the 7th inning? Schill still has his jacket on his arm and taking notes.
schill coming out again with a SHORT LEASH
He will send Curt out for the seventh but he better have people warming up. If you look at Curts outings since his rehab, he has struggled starting at the 80-86 pitch area. See last MFY game for a classic example.
As for the hook, it better be in his hand.
These guys do realize its only a 2-0 game, right?
I'm back!!!
mdc and jeemer up
WELCOM BACK REDSOCK
MDC and Jeemer up!
Good!!!
almost ococ
ruh-oh. he had it...mrrrrr...
he's at like 85 or so pitches.
I haven't been able to follow the game for the last few innings but I'd sure like to see some more Sox runs...
DROIA!
91 pitches for Schilling. c'mon big daddy
Yesss!! One more out here Curt!!
POPUP -- YESSSSSSSSSS
now get the 3rd out and put another bagel on the board.
Alright! One more to preserve the shutout
Welcome back, RS and L-girl. Let's get this last out, Schill!
COME ON SCHILL
late-lol @ 'that hot Dominican dong on dong action.'
ok back to fingernail biting.
BIG K FOR BIG SCHILL!!!
100 pitches. Brilliant.
SCHILLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
uproarious YEAH!!!!!!!!!
whew. ok now i can move around.
The K!!!!!
Yeah boy!!!!
Schill dawg!!!
Big Daddy!!!!
FY!!!!!!!!
napoli -- helpless vs the split.
100 pitches - 0 runs.
YES! I love SChilling. Does anyone think he should be number 2 in the ALCS? I know he doesn't have the power, but he sure has the control.
100 pitches - 0 runs.
And a 76% strike rate...
gagne in the 8th (kidding)
So who's up for the 8th? MDC? Okajima? Gagne? Can we please score some more runs?
no gagne?
Did the ump just punch him out on the 2nd strike?
DIM-MER!
DIM-MER!
DIM-MER!
DIM-MER!
DIM-MER!
DIM-MER!
:>)
...
so can billy match curt's performance??
OK, leadoff guy on. I want a run. Or more.
hi amy, but i'm not back, unfortunately. :)
i say mdc - he threw 17 pitches versus 24 for jeemer.
I had to listen to some of this game on radio - first time I heard a mainstream broadcaster point out that Ortiz's year was actually not a "down" year if "fans would look past the home runs". Refreshing.
Also, Go SOX! Brilliant setting of the rotation (so far) by Tito. Two more innings.
Did the ump just punch him out on the 2nd strike?
lol no, but joe c (on weei) just noted that his strike call resembled a ring-up strike call gesture. a bit zealous.
Sorry, Laura. Things busy at work? Silly law firms.
So who's up for the 8th? MDC? Okajima? Gagne? Can we please score some more runs?
Uncle joe said that pen is empty.
Schilling will probably start the 8th with bot warming up!!!
Busy at work, and it's Thanksgiving weekend here, too! The nerve.
I'm happy I got to see the BTB dongs, plus some great innings from Schilling.
The important thing is that we complete the sweep!!!
I am truly hoping that Billy pitches his final game and loses. I am so tired of his ego. (But somehow, Curt's doesn't bother me.)
Go, DUSTY!! ROY! ROY!!
3-0 RED SOX!!!!
YEAH PEDROIA! We don't need no stinking bunt!
WOW. I thought he was nailed for sure. Send him in Kim!!!!
ROY!
i like the TBS GUY "pedroia is safe the ball pops loose"
FUCK YEAH, IT'S FUCK YEAH
Woohoo. Pedroia needed that hit (his second this series).
Sac fly! 4-0!!!!
ROY!!
How close was that play at the plate?
I love when they listen to me and score more runs. :)
Oh shit, how'd the 3rd run score???
Yeah baby!!!!
More runs asked for, more runs given. Its almost biblibal (sorry L-girl).
Uh, make that 3rd & 4th run?!?!
Somebody catch me up real quick? Thanks.
How close was that play at the plate?
Pretty close. Throw went to the 1st base side of home, Lugo went in the other side, feet first.
very close play at the plate, ofer
Thanksgiving today? Tomorrow? Do Canadians eat turkey also?
Lugo scored from 1B on a double to left by Pedroia. Throw was a bit off, but it was ballsy to send him with no outs. Pedroia to third on the throw. YOUUUUUK Sac Fli.
L-girl - Walk, double by pedroia with lugo making a big slide, and pedroia taking third and then the Sac Fly!!!
Amy, no time for Canadian class today...
Third run: Pedroia long hit to left field, Lugo scored.
4th run: Sac fly by Youk. (Pedroia was on third.)
tbs: "no expression on theo's face"
he looked very serene and slightly beaming to me.
Thank you Jay and s1c!!!
sweet sweep :)
Amy, no time for Canadian class today...
LOL! I can look it up...
I think Papi lowered his OPS from 2.500 to 2.418 with that single. What a slacker.
and thanks amy too :)
didn't see that before
LBJ in the game!
Pretty close. Throw went to the 1st base side of home, Lugo went in the other side, feet first.
very close play at the plate, ofer
Thanks. No way of knowing, since the Angels broadcaster seems to have no control on when he raises his voice. Completely random.
Manny walks. Do I hear "Let's go, Red Sox" chants in Anaheim/LA/California? Or is my hearing going?
LBJ in for MBM!!!!
Papi and MBM heating up at the right time.
Fill this prescription doctor!!!!
chants were loud after peewee's double too.
Hey, Laura, hope you can tune in. Your boy is running for Manny.
been hearing those chants all game
Doctor delivers!!!!
Teeheehee.
Nice hit, Doc! Now I think I can breathe....even me!
DR. DOUBLES!!!!!
Doc Doubles.
thanks amy :)
I think Papi lowered his OPS from 2.500 to 2.418 with that single. What a slacker.
Lowered his OPS with a single- I love it!
And the Doctor lives up to his name!
the doctor is smokin!!!
OK, guess my hearing is going. But really, I just have volume low since I don't really need to hear the announcers.
Manny walks. Do I hear "Let's go, Red Sox" chants in Anaheim/LA/California? Or is my hearing going?
Dave O'Brien said on a couple of occasions that he could hear them faintly. But when Youk comes up, the Youk chants are easier to hear.
doctah
happy happy joy joy!! *frolicks in gritty kitty litter* :)))))))
Doctors shouldn't smoke.
So do you bring Curt out for the eighth now? What if we add another couple runs first?
hilarious.
schilling gets out of the 7th and it is clear to everyone that the angels are going down.
so the sox decide to rub it in with 3 (so far) in the 8th:
walk
double
sac fly
single
walk
double
...
hahaha -- fuck you angels!!
love those dugout shots. now that's demoralizing!!
Looks like we won't have any drama tonight. Fine by me.
Time for you, O.F. Drew
ON FIRE!!!!!! was not on fire but its 6-0
Oh, WOW! HOW the hell did LBJ do that??
hahaha
is posada catching for laa also?
ells was like the bionic woman going over that plate.
like many people, i picked the sox in 4. i guess i'm too negative, underestimating this amazing team!!!
Gotta wonder at what point Tek should consider bunting.
Ted Robinson: All of a sudden, the Red Sox fans are getting better seats.
ells was like the bionic woman
:-D
fucking JD DREW ofer
(hee hee, kidding)
GAP SHOT! THERRRRRRRE'S A GAP SHOT!
Nevermind. Thanks, Tek.
All right, TEK! A double. My day is perfect. :)))
loyal angels fans deciding to "beat the traffic"
pile it on, boys, pile it on!
Looks like we won't have any drama tonight. Fine by me.
We won't, but there's another game to be played.
Fans starting to leave the stadium... can't say I blame them. Maybe next time you'll get the MFY, Angels.
Wow, it's getting ridiculous. Mercy rule.
TEEING OFF ON THE ANGELS.
Amy's boy Tek comes through, and !!!!ocoC.
this is unfair!
WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
ROFLMAO.
I don't think Schilling will come back, but maybe Gagne. Don't we have a fat ass lead now? HOLY CRAP! It's 9-0!!
like many people, i picked the sox in 4. i guess i'm too negative, underestimating this amazing team!!!
didn't most of us? me included.
sweet sweet sweet 9-0!!
and the wheels are off and rolling in the streets.
IMPLOSION.
Good thing they handed out those stupid little noise makers.
Aww man, Lugo makes the second out in his second at bat for the inning. What a squander.
L-girl to reinforce your earlier statements. Look for the last post by someone!!!
now it will be up to cleveland to go for the sweep! how cool, 4 potential sweeps in the DS, 3 clocked in so far...
HEY GUYS SAVE SOME RUNS FOR CC AND CARMONA
hahahahahaha
Lugo scored the first run, Phrenille, didn't he?
I think we need some insurance in the 9th inning!!!!!!!!!!
s1c, hm, interesting, i'll check it out after the game.
I guessed four games also. I always like to hope for the best and prepare for the worst. So for me, the worst would have been winning in 4. Who says I am negative? :)
I think we need some insurance in the 9th inning!!!!!!!!!!
ahaha!!
that is, after we finish SWEEPING THE ANGELS IN THE DIVISION SERIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
we might see dimmer after all.
(or lester)
9-0 I don't care who we see, this baby is done. Put a fork in it!!!
yup, im all gloom and doom
it's oki!!
jeemer was warm - so here he is.
lyndon in left.
9-0 I don't care who we see
as long as we see cleveland in the ALCS!
Yeah he did, Amy. Youk made the first out on his sac fly; Lugo made the second, not *his* second. I'm just pretending to whine.
gagne and paps warming in the pen.
"Red Sox bludgeon them with a seven run top of the 8th."
Good choice of words, Ted.
Gagne to nail down the sweep! I like it.
That's ok, Oki. You have a big cushion, just stay calm.
they had a guy at 2nd with 0 outs last inning too. pfft.
Gotcha, Phrenille. I misunderstood your reference to "second" out.
Jacoby being Manny?
nice catch wonderboy!!
nice catch :)
Nice leaping catch by LBJ!
LBJ with the jump-shot catch!
LBJ being MBM?
i like mike soscia, feel a bit for him. his team never had a chance
Why I like Schilling!!
Post season - 16 games 9-2 with a 1.93 ERA.
Big Game!!
Two down, Oki. Just one more. Keep the shutout going.
sooooooo ... how are things over at halos heaven?
Hooray! I'm home in time to hang out with you guys for the sweep. Got in the car right around the home runs, but I had to go to Brooklyn and ended up listening to the game through the top of the 8th in the car.
