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."

«Oldest ‹Older 401 – 600 of 730 Newer› Newest»Jeeezeee Louise, Oki, you are up 9-0 throw freaking strikes. (not complaining I just want to watch the post game that much sooner)!!!
i don't think there should be pressure on jeemer to preserve the shut-out. all we have to do is win, which we will, and then some.
shut-outs are nice, but if a run scores, it doesn't matter.
I like Schilling also. No one responded to my question about whether he should be number 2 in the ALCS.
sarah 1050 E-S-P-N RADIO
agreed, l-girl.
hi sg! glad you could make it.
allan and i weren't here for the most of the game either. (we're both at work.)
i'm not a big schilling fan, but i sure love him today
shutout preserved ;)
I also don't care about the shutout. Just a motivating comment to help Oki along (as if he hears me...) But still nice to see Coco catch the ball anyway.
I like Schilling also. No one responded to my question about whether he should be number 2 in the ALCS.
Sorry, meant to earlier. He will be the number two starter in the ALCS. This game will be the final nail in the coffin to Daisuke being the #2 guy talk.
RS, they're talking off-season.
Haha.
Hi, Sarah. Hope the floor refinishing went smoothly (no pun intended). Glad you are back to see the ninth and the champagne!
i'm not a big schilling fan, but i sure love him today
Well, everyone has some faults (j/k ;) )
"But still nice to see Coco catch the ball anyway."
oh yeah!
did yook just get a hit? mlb-tv disappeared for a minute. they must be angels fans. ;-)
"camera not available"
WTF MLBTV?
Thanks, S1C. I think that's right. Guess we will see Terry answering that question soon.
Another hit to start the ninth.
Is the Yankee game going to be threaded here?
Yes, Youk on first.
it's back.
...
HENDU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
he was papi before papi was papi.
damn, i have work again. see you all after the last out.
Hinske in for Ortiz...guess Terry feeling pretty comfortable with the 9 run lead.
i checked yesterday and there has never been three 3-0 DS sweeps in one season before.
hoping to make it 4 tonight
GAGNE coming in!!!!
Three more outs! Has any team EVER in MLB scored ten runs in the bottom of the ninth to win a game? I bet not (but I bet Redsock will know for sure).
allan, i was about to ask you that very question, re ds sweeps.
Gagné in the dim this series to a close.
Well, Gagne always did want to pitch in the ninth in the playoffs.
if a run scores, it doesn't matter.
What a lovely statement to be able to make.
Is the Yankee game going to be threaded here?
I would like that.
got the earphones in for the last of the 9th.
let's get 'em, eric!
I would like that
ISH- you up for it? I will!!
That was cute---looked like Youk saw the ball coming down, but it never did. Must be the California sun.
theo playing a video game in the stands????
:>)
And yes, Amy, the floor is well finished. Quite smooth, both the floor and the day!
another leadoff double -- yawn -- and pffft.
Well, even Gagne wouldn't be able to give up ten runs here, so let him give up this hit. But really, let's not prolong the agony for the Angels.
theo playing a video game in the stands????
:>)
i thought he was texting ppl. but it would be awesome if he was playing some mobile game.
there goes the shutout.
but yah WHO CARES??
that ball 2 looked nice.
dont fuck him ump.
So much for the shutout. Not that we care.
huge roar for the 1 run. hahahaha
I go outside for 2 minutes and already Gagne gives up a run - WTF?
Well, they won't go completely silent into that good offseason...
angels not at 100% this series -- boo hoo.
The rally signs are adorable.
yeah tbs guys, it wasnt that the sox were BETTER, its cause the angels had booboos
Yay.
OVER!!
woooot!!!!
3 down, 8 to go.
WELL DOEN EVERYBODY! ON TO THE ALCS!!!!!!!
WOOO WOOOO!!!!!!!!
Whee! Ok,running to the store and then I'll be back for that fourth sweep.
Ha - "red sox pitching utterly dominant". I'm emailing them a link to thesaurus.com.
WOO-HOO! Done deal.
HAHAHAHAHA!!!! JETER THROWS WILDLY TO FIRST ON A ROUTINE GROUNDER.
YAY!!!!!!!!!
What a game, what a series, what a team!!!!
(And what a crew here!!)
a bit more more subdued that i expected.
Wow, switched to the Yankees awfully fast. To see Jeter make a bad throw. No post-game celebrations? Guess I will check NESN.
Past an erroring Jeter.
Ha - "red sox pitching utterly dominant". I'm emailing them a link to thesaurus.com.
LOL
YAY SOX CLINCH!
Hahaha, CI sucks.
red sox. ftWS!!!!
well done guys, you pwn.
now it's tribe time ;D!!
man this is awesome. back in the alcs. SWEET!!!!!!!!
bring on cleveland!!!!
RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-GERRRRRRRRRR!
RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-GERRRRRRRRRR!
RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-GERRRRRRRRRR!
RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-GERRRRRRRRRR!
RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-GERRRRRRRRRR!
Wow, switched to the Yankees awfully fast. To see Jeter make a bad throw. No post-game celebrations? Guess I will check NESN.
that's what i just did. pretty sure it will all be on there. tbs always does that, they cut right away.
Yes, it did seem subdued. But then they are not at home, the starting pitcher wasn't on the mound, and TBS switched away in a nanosecond.
Nothing on NESN yet, FYI.
Now post game on NESN
It would be fun to take the Concorde from LA to NY just in time to chant 'RAHHHHH-GGGGGER!'
david
I go outside for 2 minutes and already Gagne gives up a run - WTF?
I had a good laugh at this.
...
Did Cleveland bring some gnats with them?
Well, it was close for 7. Some clutch stuff by Schill when he had to. Good pile-on by the offense to give Gagne a chance to play. ALCS opens in Fenway FRI. night. Goddam made for TV skeds.
GO Indians. Humiliate Fat Billy so that he waves goodbye once and for all.
Well, Rice is on the post game. I know someone here can't stand when he does the post game.
Meanwhile, the guys are opening the liquor in the clubhouse.
Remy says it felt like 10-0 even when it was 2-0. Didn't Nixon say something like that? Hey, you could do the post game show.
Any NESN bits would be cool.
Pronk walks -- let's get some runs against Tubby early.
Didn't give jetes the error. Thats because he is CI!
Nothing too exciting yet on NESN. Remy says game seemed flat, Angels, that is. Just a lot of yakking. Nothing terribly interesting.
At MLB's scoreboard, there will be video of each half inning. Soon. Click on the linescore.
Gotta check out the dongs when they are up.
It would be fun to take the Concorde from LA to NY just in time to chant 'RAHHHHH-GGGGGER!'
I'll meet you on the platform outside the stadium...
Heh... commercial for buying merchandise to root for the Angels in October. Maybe October 2008
So how's Roger doing? I see two men on base. How'd the second guy get on?
Gonna go celebrate with a can of diet ice tea!!!
Humiliate Fat Billy so that he waves goodbye once and for all.
And goddess knows he can take a lot of humiliation.
OK, guys are spraying each other in the clubhouse. Pap making some rather suggestive moves with the champagne bottle, if you catch my drift. Just a few seconds of shots of the clubhouse so far.
Well, Rice is on the post game. I know someone here can't stand when he does the post game
hehe, he is a bit like watching paint dry. but, he always looks goood. the man knows how to dress (as alot of black fellows seem to do;))
redsock buys a new ultra-fine scoring pen.
red sox sweep angels.
...
i told you this pen would be the key to the post-season.
1-0!!!
Base knock up the middle!
Garko!!!!
1-0 Cle!!!
First blood to the tribe!
Curt getting lots of champagne on the head.
Scalp Fat Billy!!!
garko!
cleveland's 11th 2-out run this series.
more pls brak brak
Past a diving, well, you know.
Gonna go celebrate with a can of diet ice tea!!!
And you call ME an old fart!
We can drink our 1st champagne tomorrow night. :)
i like tina in here "wet celebration gear" cracks me up
can't tell from mlbtv -- how calm are ci's eyes?
Can someone update on the Yankee game? How'd Cleveland score? Who's on base? I am on NESN duty, so hard to keep up.
Past a diving, well, you know.
hee hee
Another Manny interview on the radio.
sizemore 4-3
cabrera single to CI
hafner BB
martinez F7
garko single to center, 1-0
peralta FC to CI
27 pitches for FB.
i think papelbon is being a party pig again ;)
Amy, go on and watch the game. We'll see everything on DVD eventually.
Jeter throwing error inexplicably scored as a single puts Cabrera on first. Hafner walks. Martinez lines out. Garko singles in a ground ball to center past a diving asshole, scoring Cabrera.
tdcg - an eye for the obvious (bot, party pig)
j/k
they really aren't showing *that* much in the clubhouse. it's more like tc, remy and rice talking. no clubhouse interviews as per usual ;)
Thanks, Redsock, for the info.
Back to clubhouse, still lots of champagne in the eyes.
Tina with Terry: Gratifying to watch Schilling. We played good baseball. Winning is huge. A big WE day. Being around these guys makes me happy.
HA!
JETER GIDP
CI bounces into DP!!!!
CI DP
Two days after the bugs attacked Joba, nobody could have predicted that Jeter would ground into that doubleplay.
Jeter - GIDP...Love it!
DVD? What DVD? Plus with Yankees losing already, my husband is better off not watching me watching the game. We are going to get something to eat in a few, but I should be back for the end of that game. (My husband just cannot stand the tension of these games; he's just a sweet ol' guy who would rather not watch then watch them lose.)
Cleveland up a run now, anyone see how it happened? I was watching NESN.
i'm now having a celebratory lager and lime.
I have a very important question.
HOW ARE WE GONNA MAKE IT TIL FRIDAY?????
The players don't have goggles this go-round.
Chief, see Redsock's summary above.
What do we call the team that wins the DS? We already won the Division, so it can't be division winner. I guess Division series winner.
HOW ARE WE GONNA MAKE IT TIL FRIDAY?????
I have NO idea!
Disregard my question re: Cleveland run. Must have been a backlog for approvals.
Laura, I was wondering that myself.
Friday is a long way away!
Maybe watch some 2004 videos?
Trot Nixon starting the game tonight!
HOW ARE WE GONNA MAKE IT TIL FRIDAY?????
go B's? hehe
HOW ARE WE GONNA MAKE IT TIL FRIDAY?????
Well I plan on reading NY papers every day so that I can count the ways they blame A-rod being swept!!!
Will Slappy get booed when he comes up (even though the entire team is sucking pond water)?
TROT NIXON HITS A DONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love you Trot!
Trottterrr with the HR vs FB!!!!
NIXON 33 does it again!!!!!!!!
SHADES OF MAY 2000
DIRT GRITTY GRIMY DONG!!!!!!!!!
nixon just donged!!!
7?
Lowell being interviewed. Says he doesn't really want Cleveland to sweep because he wants them to have to play five games and use all their guys.
Lowell---such a genteel and modest guy. Unlike a 3Bman for the MFY.
7?
4.
Rem dawg - mfY might be the easier opponent in the ALCS. Nobody on the MFY compares to C.C. and Carmona.
I don't care, we will beat those guys like a drum!!!!
another post season donger for trot
Theo: Team managed to be really loose. The name of the game was execution. From start to bottom, we executed. Schilling performed remarkably well.
A little belated, but...
CLE @ MFY Lineups:
CLEVELAND:
1. Grady Sizemore, CF
2. Asdrubal Cabrera, 2B
3. Travis Hafner, DH
4. Victor Martinez, C
5. Ryan Garko, 1B
6. Jhonny Peralta, SS
7. Kenny Lofton, LF
8. Trot Nixon, RF
9. Casey Blake, 3B
NEW YORK:
1. Johnny Damon, LF
2. Derek Jeter, SS
3. Bobby Abreu, RF
4. Alex Rodriguez, 3B
5. Jorge Posada, C
6. Jason Giambi, 1B
7. Hideki Matsui, DH
8. Robinson Cano, 2B
9. Melky Cabrera, CF
I have to say, while intellectually I agree with the good Dr about continued play, I want to see TCM buried.
Lowell giving all due to Papi and Manny as if he hasn't also been making big hits all year and even in this game.
this one old timer asking questions at the press conference is cracking me up.
May 28, 2000
Sunday Night
BRS: 000 000 002 - 2 5 0
MFY: 000 000 000 - 0 4 0
Pedro: 9-4-0-1-9
Billy: 9-5-2-0-13
HR: Nixon (2 run shot with 2 outs in 9th)
Lowell: Any team would rather not have five days off. But we'll take it. If you have a letdown because you have too many days off, you have a problem. Yankees are more familiar to us, but Wang Pettite Clemens are good pitchers. Cleveland has Sabathia and Carmona. Either team will be a challenge. I prefer they go five games. (He also said not to refer to the teams by their nicknames when reporter referred to them as the Tribe and the Bronx Bombers.)
Gotta love Lowell.
Allowing a run an inning ain't being an ace, ya fat tub of goo.
be away for a minute or four.
Slappy finally gets a hit.
Slappy with the single. What will the NY Post do if he goes 5-5 with 3 HRs but the Yanks lose 10-3?
Slappy hits mean NOTHING when Dumbo follows with a DOUBLE PLAY!
Going to eat. Back later.
What I want from this Cleve / MFY game.
1) A Cleveland win!!!
2) FB get hammered!!!
3) A-rod gets three or four meaningless hits!!
4) Jeter gets no hits!!!
I tell ya, there's no way to predict baseball. You just can't predict it. Who could have guessed that after A-Rod hit his first post-season single of all time, Posada would ground into a double play.
Ortiz in the ALDS: 6 for 8, 5 walks. 2 dongs.
Phil Hughes warming up for the Yankees.
It'll be interesting how.....
well then! Fat Billy is INJURED.
Here comes Joe and the trainer.
It looks like he's going to stay in the game, though.
Ah look, there we go - an excuse for when he gets killed, or runs away to let the bullpen get killed for him.
Gritty outing for Clemens. Hughes warming. I wonder how long, assuming Clemens stays healthy, Joe Torre will stay with Clemens.
Lead-off walk to Pronk.
Hughes warming up in the pen for the MFY's!!!
28 million just doesn't buy what it used to does it Joe!!!
Joe Torre and the trainer are back out to talk to Clemens.
Hughes apparently warming in the pen. Any chance Torre gets fired before the 7th inning stretch?
0 outs in the third and Passedballa is buying time!!
Joe, this is your ace!! The man who was brought back to bring you to the promised land!
Clemens out in the third inning. way to go FB!!!!!!!
WHERE IS RAH-GER?
WHERE IS RAH-GER?
WHERE IS RAH-GER?
Think he asked out?
And Clemens comes out after 2.1 innings with an "injury". Hughes in.
ROGER CLEMENS LEAVES THE GAME. It started with boos, mostly cheers.
TBS is already spinning this in Roger's favor. "How fitting it is that Roger Clemens' last pitch, possibly in the Major Leagues, is a strikeout."
KOWARD.
I had him going 4. He barely did half that.
RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-GERRRRRRRRRR!
RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-GERRRRRRRRRR!
RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-GERRRRRRRRRR!
RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-GERRRRRRRRRR!
RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-GERRRRRRRRRR!
smirk
good god. Look at Gwynn - Tony do me a favor and drive by a few of those McDonalds will you!!
So we'll see what kind of a shalacking the Indians can serve on Phil Hughes.
At this point, you almost want to see the Yankees win THIS game and lose tomorrow, so you can't blame their suckiness on injuries.
Almost. But ya know what? SWEEP 'em!
Ah, this sucks... best case scenario is Fat Billy giving up 3 in 3 innings. I was hoping for worse.
Well, maybe Cleveland can tee off of the Franchise and damage his fragile soul for years to come.
fucking tbs guys, but i need to give the network credit for not always going to commercial as soon as they can. i like that they stay with the game between pitching changes.
28+ million for 6-6 record reg season, and 2 1/3 innings post season......HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
OF AWWWWL THE DRAMATIC THINGS!!!!!!!
RAWWWWWGAAAHWW CLEMENS...IS COMING OUTTA THE GAME
MWAAAAHHAAAAHAAAHAAA!!!!!
Usually the trainer walks off with the pitcher for an injury. Clemens walked off alone.
PASSEDBALLA!!!!!!
PASSEDBALLA!
I think Steinbrenner's a dumbass with that win this game or lose your job shit. (And a dumbass in a number of other ways as well, but that's neither here nor there. Don't get me started on new yankee stadium...)
No bugs to blame on that WP...
Three to ZIP - MWHAHAHAHAHAHA
3-0 Cle!!!
OF AWWWWL THE DRAMATIC THINGS!!!!!!!
RAWWWWWGAAAHWW CLEMENS...IS COMING OUTTA THE GAME
MWAAAAHHAAAAHAAAHAAA!!!!
haha ;D
omg. i loved how they used to play that all the time on eei. they prolly still do. haven't listened lately.
Any chance Torre gets fired before the 7th inning stretch?
I still think Steinbrenner's an ass, but boy would that be funny!
Fat Billy, 2007 playoffs: 2.1 inn, 11.57 ERA (yeah, I know ERA is meaningless in a one-game sample, but it just looks really good), 4H, 2BB, a dong to Trot...
Now let's make sure they don't have any more games to send him into.
Word is Kenny Lofton's moving to 1st. Now 2nd. Make that 3rd. Kenny Lofton's stuff? Send it home.
Or a fly out, whatever.
Did anyone see the T-shirt on the guy that says JOBA RULES - what a tool. Also - Damon had trouble throwing the ball into the stands. HAHAHAHA!
Does anyone think Torre might be fired before midnight? That would be precious.
Flipping back and forth between tbs and NESN.
Luccino - "just seemed like the team started clicking, mbm came back.."
For some reason, larry just gets the hairs on the back of my neck standing up. irrational but there it is.
I still think Steinbrenner's an ass, but boy would that be funny!
Well, yeah.
23 innings and the MFY's have yet to have consecutive hits. Thats amazing!
WTF is martinez thinking. Throw the ball to first you jack ass.
Just got back from dinner and saw Clemens left with an injury. Does anybody know what the injury was?
Fragging MFY's.
3-1 Cle.
C'mon time for CI to GIDP.
Just got back from dinner and saw Clemens left with an injury. Does anybody know what the injury was?
I heard he has a lack of spine.
YESSSS!!!!
CI GIDP again!!!!!!
CI DPx2
CIDP again. But they're Driven GIDPs
I like the pace of this game: Cleveland with a run every inning, MFY with a DP every inning
No excuses - This series wasn't lost on injuries, it's part of any season, guys are going to get hurt," Angels manager Mike Scioscia said. "We got hit by some of ours at the wrong time. That's baseball. You're not going to look back and make excuses. Those guys went out there and beat us, and that's the bottom line."
Thanks Mike.
Just got back from dinner and saw Clemens left with an injury. Does anybody know what the injury was?
Fatal lack of stuff.
Back again -- looks like you guys had fun!!!!!
Have another doughnut, Roger!
...
Torre won't be fired per se. He won't have his contract renewed.
GLORIOUS DAY! I'm stuffed off of turkey, potatoes and all sorts of other Thanksgivingy goodness - watched the Sox clinch, but missed the 7th inning outburst (dinner) and after dessert come back to find Fat Billy out after 2.1 and MFY down 2....
w00t! CA commercial again on Sportsnet - OUT AT THE PLATE BITCH! Let this be a lesson to the rest of you who try to fudge your tax returns!
so do we al definitely want the yanks to get swept? or are some of you taking the mike lowell approach? just taking the temp...
Re TCM:
Predict: 4.0-7-5-2-4
Actual: 2.1-4-3-2-1
(13 batters and 59 pitches)
From Francona's press conf. when asked whether Clev. or mfy's -
No, I guess my preference would be that they play for about another eight days and go 20 innings every game.
SWEEP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Win this game 65-0.
don't let these chokers think they have even a 1/100000000th of a prayer of winning anything.
"TOWERING pop fly to left."
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
i'm w/redsock.
