Josh Beckett (6.35, 70 ERA+) / Mike Mussina (4.15, 101 ERA+)
Dear Josh: Please give us more than 5 innings. If you gave us 7, you'd be the first starter to do so this season. We would like that.

like he would have made it to 2nd anyway.
ugh.
the usual, but ugh.
Making Damon earn those extra $3m in left field tonight.
single from yook, manny stops at second ... lazy stupid black dominican mann didn't try to score. [/kay]
I'm not pleased that I'm going head to head against a team with Manny in fantasy this week.
OK, Drew, keep that fire going.
Being too young to have seen the '86 series, Bucky, to me is a character from "Get Fuzzy".
Do you mean Buckner?
Bucky is from 1978.
7-0 us.
FUCK YOU MICHAEL KAY -- DAVID JONATHAN DREW IS ON FUCKING FIRE
ON FIRE!!!
!!!!!!! yeah baby!!!!!!!!!!!!
No idea L-girl. No idea.
The whole team is on fire tonight!
Don't look now, but Drew's hitting .370. He's no Youk, but we'll take it.
ON FIRE!!!!
(my connection is very slow tonight, making timely comments difficult.)
IM-A-PENDEJO!
Patrick, are you serious?
I want to register somehow to get a dollar for every time someone calls Drew's swing beautiful.
We forgave Buchner, but never, ever Bucky Dent.
no idea? hmm.
All the music NESN is playing tonight has the word moon in it. Because its a full moon!!!
redsock i take it you are watching the yes broadcast?
i HATE flaherty, but i actually like leiter
tough schedule for the yanks according to kay -- 3 games this weekend with no days off.
I know about the history of Cod fish.
fucking sasahe
Rule of thumb, folks: Don't eat a whole pineapple at once.
Just, don't.
Harv left the room, went to clean up downstairs a while ago.
Not a good night for a Yankee fan.
I am trying to contain my joy for his sake.
Patrick, please tell me you know who Carlton Fisk is...
kay hates moose. they must have some media vs. player beef. kay is ALWAYS negative towards moose. kinda funny to listen to
nix - yes.
don't know the diff btw dent and buckner? might be a good idea to not broadcast such a fact.
Fisk is that old guy on the bench, duh. ;)
might be a good idea to not broadcast such a fact.
way too late. I've dug a hole.
I love it, the year the Red Sox went to fucking Japan and the Yankees are making excuses about THEIR schedule. Tyler Kepner did it today, too.
Carlton Fisk--my first favorite Red Sox player. Still get chills when I see clips of him waving his hands for the ball to go over the fence. That moment sealed my fate as a Red Sox fan forever.
I don't know about anyone else, but I know about a lot of things that happened before I was born. It's called history.
Oh well. Keep it moving, Josh.
er, waving the ball to stay fair...;)
L-girl, you probably have had a couple more decades to catch up than myself.
L-girl, you probably have had a couple more decades to catch up than myself.
Ish, dare we ask what happens when one eats a whole pineapple?
YOu think Papelbon used a stunt butt in this commercial?
wow -- amy's old! :>)
they should call it, HER-story!
nix, kay always has his players who he hates. used to bernie, big time. could never say anything nice about bernie w/out taking a pot-shot at him, too. you're right, now it's mussina.
Jere, was that the guy on "fresh Prince"?
Fair and over the fence...
i have read elsewhere that it was stunt ass.
'droia called paps' stand in butt a "pizza box butt"
I meant it in the nicest way possible.
and kay HATED slappy. becuz of the texas $$$. not sure how he feels now.
L-girl, you probably have had a couple more decades to catch up than myself.
WTF? You don't have to be a certain age to appreciate history. You're old enough.
Somebody get Patrick a backhoe to dig himself out.
Haha, Carlton Banks. Hey, speaking of being old, when I think of that dude I think of him as Rick Stratton's buddy on Silver Spoons!
I appreciate history, I just don't know all of it.
redsock, he LOVES A-ROD now.
WTF? You don't have to be a certain age to appreciate history. You're old enough.
They have these things called ... books.
Nix, some people do call it herstory.
fair and over the monstah....;)
Somebody get Patrick a backhoe to dig himself out.
Backhoe = education
Maybe some video.
History's just a fairy tale people tell to pretend the world didn't start when I was born.
No one knows all of history. Not even the ancient people here, like me, Amy, Allan, Jack...
Yep, old enough to remember things like Fisk. Old enough to have been drinking beer when Fisk hit that one.
But not old enough to have seen Johnny Pesky play.... Too bad.
I wear my stripes proudly. And I still think young and curse like a schoolboy!
MORE RUNS PLEASE!
Patrick, don't mean to pick on you, I just happen to be someone who knew the history of the team at like age 5. But come on, man, take a little time to at least learn the highlights. You can do it. We have faith in you.
Wonder if that counts as plagiarizing Bill Waterson.
but michael jackson calls it HIStory.
I remember watching that clip of Silver Spoons you linked to some time ago when it was first on the air. grok?
Ish, dare we ask what happens when one eats a whole pineapple?
Let's just say, if you were a baseball player, you probably wouldn't be in the lineup. But do take my advice. You get yourself a pineapple, make it last. Don't down it all at once.
sigh
I was a month old when Fisk hit the pole that would later bear his name. You don't have to remember it to know it well....
Rick Stratton? Ricky Schroeder?
(I remember old TV also--when it wasn't on Nick at Nite, but on non-cable TV seen with rabbit ears...)
Ugh. Ish and the whole pineapple, proof that all good things can be overdone.
Yeah, Ricky Schroeder. Character name, Stratton.
Uch, Damon got a hit. I hate that.
Old enough to have been drinking beer when Fisk hit that one.
I like that. I'm gonna use it, if you don't mind. With a different frame of reference, of course, but the same idea.
2-1 Bruins in MTL!!!
Hey, b-fly didn't know who bucky was in 2003!!!
Somewhere, last year we talked about 2003. You may want to find that thread my friend. There is some his/her/story there.
Time to get this last out Joshie.
It is hard when you're growing up with this much success as a Red Sox fan to remember, or care really, about all of the history preceding the success.
It doesn't mean it's not interesting or it's not relevant or it's not important. But instead of ridiculing for a lack of knowledge, why don't we take time to educate? Don't hate. Educate.
AMy--I was also an original Spoons watcher. Rabbit ears. My dad would have to go on the roof to move the antenna to try to get Red Sox games, too.
Ugh. Ish and the whole pineapple, proof that all good things can be overdone.
It seemed like a good idea at the time... So refreshing and filling.
TWO MORE RUNS SCORE!
Things are looking up tonight. Way up.
damn, there goes the shut out. oh well, it will just hurt them more when they lose.
Feel free, Laura. (Of course, the drinking age was 18 back then, but yeah, I was even over 21 then. By a few years.)
SHIT! Hate Jeter.
Frack, Remy starts his JETER lovefest.
Frack
Wait a minute. I didn't realize it was Jeter. Damn Bruins.
My bad.
Past a diving Lugo. :/
I never ridiculed.
But my friends who were all Yankee fans all knew their team's history as well, and they had 22 championships. I think fantasy leagues are killing team fandom.
Ish, did the pineapple get to your head or your tummy? Those were YANKEE runs...
kay very excited: "and the red sox's lead is cut to 7-2"
he;s having an orgasm as Ci scores
Another goal!!!!!!!
/Bruins
replay shows jeter jogging to second --
there was 2 outs -- he should be sprinting right away!!!!
OK, I am still hoping we can keep Beckett in for more than 5 innings. Let's stop the blood flow now.
Ish, did the pineapple get to your head or your tummy? Those were YANKEE runs...
Pineapples have a lot of fiber.
Ish, no one here is hating, I don't think.
It's not just the lack of knowledge, it's the apparent bragging and swagger about it. Ignorant is not something to brag about.
Bear down Joshie.
o boy. Can we please make it through 6 Josh?
kay: "we got ourselves a ball game now"
Now that's not fair laura. Who's bragging?
More Sox runs, please.
Phew. Get that cheater out.
It's also a bit shocking to me as I've literally never heard of a Red Sox fan who didn't know the difference between Bill Buckner and Bucky Dent.
It's not like we're calling someone out for not knowing Randy Kutcher's batting average against lefties on the road.
It's not just the lack of knowledge, it's the apparent bragging and swagger about it. Ignorant is not something to brag about.
I agree. There's a difference between not knowing, and making it known you don't care. etc.
waht a douche kay is! i hate the wayhe calls in the plays at the plate "and he is....>SAAAAAAAAAAAFE!"
Don't sweat it, Josh gets into the seventh tonight. Then MDC, Jeemer and then the bot!!!
kay acting like beckett's going to get pulled any minute due to high pitch count: he's at 74
It's not like we're calling someone out for not knowing Randy Kutcher's batting average against lefties on the road.
.247?
I was at the Fisk homer game...in utero.
i love the way kay brings up that the yankess can try and get to the "shakey" sox middle relief, meanwhile we're already into the yanks version of it!
It's not like we're calling someone out for not knowing Randy Kutcher's batting average against lefties on the road.
.247?
What are you, the teacher's pet?
"It's not like we're calling someone out for not knowing Randy Kutcher's batting average against lefties on the road."
Ooooh oooh, I know: really shitty.
What do I win?
I was at the Fisk homer game...in utero.
That is VERY cool.
* * * *
Re history, my favourite baseball player died before I was born, so I don't give a lot of leeway to "that happened when I was 5..." type of comments.
Not a good fielding crowd tonight, according to Dave O'Brien.
What are you, the teacher's pet?
i thought i was the teacher.
Randy Kutsher?? OK, I admit my ignorance...is that a real player?
(I know there are lots of holes in my Red Sox history, also, Patrick. Many of those years in the early 80s when my kids were babies are just a blur. So don't feel too badly. Also, I remember the old stuff better than what happened last week. That's why we need younger people to learn the old stuff and also the new stuff, so we old farts can be sure the stories are carried forward.)
I know the stories, I just had the dates confused.
Thanks. I always say it made me what I am today.
The Fisk homer game, I was too young for a beer (barely). Still the best world series in my opinion.
Joe Posnanski mentioned that game in his KC column the other day.
not to be crazy or superstitious, BUT....
anyone notice ortiz has a new batting helmet this season? hmmm...
"I was at the Fisk homer game...in utero."
Where were you sitting?
OK, Patrick, I thought you were bragging, but that's easily misunderstood online. I will back off. We have battered you enough!
Kutcher career splits
vs LHP - .201
&
on Road - .217
One of my favorite things about broadcasters is how much of a wimp they all are, and they're not bashful about stating that.
Reminds me of last year in Tampa Bay when a mouse went into the radio booth, and Glenn Geffner said something like, "I don't do vermin." Before sitting in the fetal position in the middle of the room.
Yes Amy--Kutcher: Real. Number 5. Late 80s.
The Fisk homer game, I was too young for a beer (barely). Still the best world series in my opinion.
The thing I like about that World Series was how that was the highlight. The focus in history was never upon how the Sox lost it.
Fisk home run game: I was in my first year of law school, feeling extremely stressed and miserable. That homerun, in fact that whole end of the season run and the post-season, that got me through that whole awful semester.
I tell my own first year students the story and tell them to find something outside law school to lift their spirits and to remind them that life is not about law school.
(It's about baseball---?)
ITS THE HELMET!
Everyone has holes in their baseball knowledge. There are seasons where you just don't or can't follow as closely, or as all. And anyone who can say "that has never happened to me" should add the word "YET" afterwards.
Thanks for relenting. I feel like I need to write an essay and hand it in on Sunday.
Amy don't feel bad about the 80's, the 85 and 86 seasons were hard for me also.
What are you, the teacher's pet?
i thought i was the teacher.
red sox sensei.
Right, 1975 was thought of as a great series and let's get 'em next year.
All that gloom and doom shit had not been invented by the media yet.
"The thing I like about that World Series was how that was the highlight. The focus in history was never upon how the Sox lost it."
And rightfully so, since it was all we had at the time and for decades after. Whereas the 2001 WS being talked about as if "both teams won" or America won" is BS, because the Yanks had won 4 out of the previous 5. For them to get a win, they should actually have to WIN.
Fisk home run game: I was in my first year of law school, feeling extremely stressed and miserable. That homerun, in fact that whole end of the season run and the post-season, that got me through that whole awful semester.
I have a similar experience of my life being very stressed and sad, and a baseball team and season pulling me through. I'm not supposed to say it here, but it was very, very important to me at the time. I always think of it when I think of why baseball matters.
I obviously don't recall, but my parents got the tickets for their first anniversary (10/19), so I think they were good seats.
Patrick: in your essay, don't leave out Morgan's Magic--1988. Underrated!
I told you. The 80s are a blur. We were living without NESN, so no games on TV, and I had two little girls running around, making me crazy. So it's my lost baseball decade in many ways. Of course, I do remember 86. Bringing us full circle to Buckner.
"I was at the Fisk homer game...in utero."
Where were you sitting?
obstructed view.
Gimmie 1-2-3 Beckett.
Cross check after the whistle, do the bruins want to lose this game?
Hold them Joshie!!!
I feel like I need to write an essay and hand it in on Sunday.
And you're saying you don't?
Obstructed view! HA HA
" We were living without NESN,"
Welcome to my world!!! That's what the radio's for...haha
Cross check after the whistle, do the bruins want to lose this game?
Habs have to score before I get worried.
I love that obstructed view comment!
I don't do vermin is pretty funny, too.
I also like the self-deprecating announcers.
fisk: i had turned 12 about two weeks earlier and i started watching the game -- i remember the scary lynn crahs into the CF wall, but i was in bed when fisk went deep into the night.
the beginning of gammons's game story still gives me chills.
s1c... See? No worries!
I'm not supposed to say it here,
You can. We are all friends here. Even poor Patrick who got more than he bargained for!
I love that obstructed view comment!
I had quite a laugh at that too.
This is a great night.
Obstructed view was the comment of the decade.
(Which gives me "setup of the decade"!)
LOL. I'll have to start using that obstructed view joke.
Beckett made it through 6!! Hallelujah. Now, can we get 7 and set a record for the season so far?
There were so many things in that series though, the non obstruction call on fisk's throw into CF in Cincy, the Carbo home run, etc.
Plus Cincy hadn't won a world series in a long time, so both cities were primed for a big party!
Goal!!!
Boy, your parents made you go to bed during the World Series? Have you forgiven them for that, Allan?
The Evans double play.
Hey if you set someone up for a joke are you Jokajima?
Amy, thanks. That season, I really feel like they saved my life. I wouldn't really have died... but that's how it felt.
BECKETT, you're on!!!
After following the 2003 season all the way through, I spent most of '04 2 miles outside a town of 99 people at the end of a peninsula in Newfoundland. I ended up missing the whole ALCS of that year, but I fondly remember getting WRKO all the way out there, and listening to the World Series under the stars well past midnight every game. I was lucky the ALCS made the news on the CBC.
farnsworth - clown
Crush this asshat, Manny.
MOTHERFUCKERS! someones getting plunked for sure!
Yeah, it's funny how little play the Carbo home run gets. Without that, there would have been no Fisk home run. (If I remember correctly.)
I loved in Good Will Hunting how the Robin Williams character tells the Matt Damon character the whole story. You had to know Damon and Afflect were Sox fans to put that into their screenplay.
MBM gets thrown at! Warnings!!
Ok, here is the thing, 2 outs nobody on and Jeemer warmd up, well, down goes Jeter!!
every once in a while I get lucky on a comment. do what you wish with it all.
I really have to ignore you all for a while so I can work on my report.
.....that didn't hit Manny?!
Manny could be the first Sox hitter to hit three dongs in a game since ______
Goal!!!!
Carbo was very key. 2 outs in the 8th. We were in very serious danger of losing that series in 6.
The Bruins are not dead!
In Newfoundland?? How cool. Are you Cdn? (Should I know that already?)
We are bound for Newfoundland in June. Can't wait.
Not Canadian, but I spent 6 months way the F out there in NFLD. That place is amazing. Some people had such think accents I couldn't understand them.
What were you doing there, Patrick?
Carbo was the point in Posnanski's story. Everybody forgets how overmatched he looked before the HR.
A great game and a great series!
farns getting outs -- but not only are the horses out of the barn, they are romping thru the next county.
I hope this is one of those deals where everybody's pissed at Farnsworth, and it causes more problems in the Yankee locker room.
I just checked out Patrick's profile, and I see he is an adult (22) and likes quite a bit of good music.
And he told a nice story about being in Newfoundland.
All is forgiven. :)
Through WWOOF (willing workers of organic farms), I was helping/living with a family that was building a homestead out there.
"Everybody forgets how overmatched he looked before the HR."
Except me! With my "Carbo Theory": worst swing followed by the best, as per Joe Garagiola.
Ok, last question before I go. I know that I, for one have gaps in my historical knowledge. What recommendations do you folks have for good red sox history reading?
I know that someone wrote a book about the ..what was it 1819 team or something... otherwise?
Wow, Patrick, that sounds great! What a wonderful thing to do.
L-Girl beat me to the "all is forgiven" on Patrick.
Six months! That's a long time to be way the F out there. Nice.
That place is amazing. Some people had such think accents I couldn't understand them.
That's what I'm counting on. Everyone tells me it will be more like visiting another country than another province.
Anyone interested in dogsitting?
Beckett out there for the 7th!
Beckett has a chance of shattering the IP by sox starters this year with a nice round 7.
1819, nick you are a roll tonight!
Through WWOOF (willing workers of organic farms), I was helping/living with a family that was building a homestead out there.
Wow, terrific! Forgiven PLUS.
Now I feel like a real shit for getting on your case. Did you make that up just to make me feel guilty? ;)
It's cool. I'm good at setting myself up.
Kason Gabbard will get the start against the Sox at Fenway for the 11:05am Patriots day game on Monday. Against Buchholz.
Not making nothing up. That picture I'm using is me driving horses in Oregon.
kay is beyond OBSESSED with beckett drilling a choker.
we'r eup by 4 - not happening.
I'm scared Gabbard will come back to haunt us.
EXTRA EXTRA -- RED SOX STARTER GOES 7 INNINGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A good friend is going to the patriot day game. Takes her son for some tests at Mercy and then they go to the game. This is like the third straight year.
7!!!!
OMIGOD, we have a pitcher who finished SEVEN WHOLE INNINGS!
I am feeling so much better.
Now let's hold this lead, or better yet, get more runs.
NO WAY?! We might actually win a few games this year!
Vintage Okathon to seal the deal.
I didn't really think you were making it up.
I think one of my nephews (around your age) was part of that WWOOF program. He lived and worked on a farm in NH.
Beckett's got the warm-up jacket on in the dugout. Looks like we haven't seen the last of him tonight.
Beckett back in the 8th?!?! Can we please just save him for October? We have 4 run lead thus far....
mdc and jeemer warming
I agree. We don't need him to go 8. I am happy with just 7.
Cleavland pounding Detroit 10-1
Is Billy Traber the definition of league-replacement pitching?
94 pitches so far. Let's not push our luck.
