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.

«Oldest ‹Older 401 – 546 of 546slugo = fast
Career 80 ERA+, so I guess he's below league-replacement.
hey, i got #201 and #401
Lugo = still trying to be LBJ
lugo beats it out
kay says you got to give credit to casey for going in hard to jeter at second -- BUT he peeled off and had nothing to do with the play.
WTF!!!!!!!!!!
hey, i got #201 and #401
Does that mean you are #1
lets get some more runs, Beckett looks like he is going to come back out.
well he's no lbj... but who is??
Does that steal make his at bat a sacrifice to move the runner over?
Well, if it were scored as a steal, I mean.
kay saying lugo suprised yanks by running hard .. but cano made a crappy throw to jeter at second, down and off to ci's left. all three YES men quiet about that
Woo! Woo!
Just got in from softball with the granddaughter. Looking good on JoS.
Pulling up GDGD in another screen as I type so I can watch us regain the season lead on the Evil Empire!
Show them how it's done LBJ
heh. YES men.
Beckett's back out for the 8th.
Here comes Joshie!!!
kay: "and it looks like beckett's going to picth the 8th ... yankees leading ... umm, yankees trailing 7-3"
Allan, it sounds like you need to hit mute and listen to Joe C. more often than not.
We can't do that. MLB audio not really loud enough, plus a very big delay.
FY!!! WITH THE D!
OK, so far so good. One pitch, one out. At this rate he can complete the game with only 101 pitches total. As if...
plus - i'm not the biggest joe c. fan.
It's sad that Stolichnaya has to advertise itself as "Russian vodka". Folk think it's Peruvian now?
I'm listening to MLB audio, and if I refresh too quick I see your comments of what happens before I hear it.
There is a pretty good delay on WTIC also, prety much one pitch behind.

I'm about a second ahead with the radio.
101 through 7.2.
Bobby Abrasive - SIT DOWN!
That's why I couldn't stand modding while I had MLB audio at work on the weekends. I'd know the outcome of the at-bat before the player ever stepped to the plate.
Phrenile, I thought the same thing re Stoli.
Mmmmmm, vodka.... /homer
I love Josh.
Remy - if Retalation is going to come tonight, its right here! But you have to remember about suspension.
So are radio waves just slower than cable transmission? But then Jere was seeing the game on NESN earlier than I was. Someone tried to explain this last time. Chief, I believe.
Wow. FY AGAIN!!!
Past a diving Beckett.
No slap from Slappy?
K-Rod - SIT DOWN!
I'm about a second ahead with the radio.
You are listening to the home station right?
WTIC is part of the broadcast network, feed goes through a few switches.
Beckett smashes our 6.2 IP record for the season. I'd like to see Lester match him.
why retaliate? we're shoving these fuckers out of first place ... we'll drill 'em in july.
Sox haven't won in the Toilet since May of last year.
FY!!!
Time for a Papi Dong!!!
8 for Beckett
I hope you guys who can see the game are seeing Paps in the Pen
You are listening to the home station right?
I'm listening to an FM affiliate out of Beverly. There's another FM station closer to me that is just a touch slower than this one. And the sound isn't as clear. Strange.
Heh. Mass exodus at the Toilet.
FY's 10th multi-hit game, out of 17 played this year.
Bot up!!!
bot warming easily
8 for Beckett
I hope you guys who can see the game are seeing Paps in the Pen
Yep. He's there.
Papi's swing looks good, but he's just not getting as much power.
Darn. Close to a third dong.
Wow, is at true?
No late season wins at the toilet last year?
I didn't realize.
I'm pretty sure that WTIC gets its feed through the phone lines, at least two switch stations from boston, then out to the transmitter, etc.
Thats what Dave said, So
Youk needs some steel-toe cleats.
Choker fans got no faith.
Just spell it Столичная, and the point will get across.
РЮМКА СТОЛИЧНИЙ.
Better go get the Skyy.

Telegram.
Sox haven't won in the Toilet since May of last year.
Really? Are you sure?
Wow, those wussy Yankee fans leave before the game is over. Last Friday at Fenway, I don't think anyone left even though we were losing.
These pseudo-fans annoy me. Everyone knows the Pope doesn't wear his name on the back of his hat.
Gabe Kapler is on the front page of ESPN.com
Three more outs. Pap in? Beckett coming back?
Yes, the Sox had lost 5 in a row at the stadium. Longest losing streak since 2001?
Last three games at the Toilet were Aug. 28-30 when they got swept.
Apparently he is sure. Seems odd, yet it is true.
The Gabe?
stoli > skyy
absolut > stoli
any vodka > any other substitute
WOO! WOO!
GDGD just flashed Bot's picture up. I'm happy now.
I think the last win was Sexy Lips in the Einstein home run game. I think!
thirsty in LF
People leave Fenway early. Maybe they didn't last Friday night, but they do in plenty of games.
OK, where was that link last night when you all were salivating over Erin Andrew's "wrists"?
55,088 attendance.
Temporally.
last YS win was May 22, 2007
lips beat mussina
Ewwwwww!! I just clicked on that link "the gabe". YUCK.
Now we know who Arnold worked out with.
The guys here seem to like well-developed pectoral muscles.
Not sure that 1-2 on Dumbo was a strike.
Well, 1-1.
OK, where was that link last night when you all were salivating over Erin Andrew's "wrists"?
We were expecting either you or tdcg to find your own pics.
HGHK
We are too deep for that. We are interested in their minds.
:)
I think you mean me or tdcg. :)
But men or women, bigger is not necessarily better.
Sock - Has Kay predicted the Yankees win yet?
Oh, poopy.
L-girl, to answer your question earlier, "I don't know, maybe"
espn and erin was last night. we move forward.
No, he meant me. You weren't here when TDCG and I were giving them a hard time for posting revealing photos of Erin Andrews.
Dammit.
I know it's unrealistic, but I just want him to strike out EVERYBODY!
I considered posting it last night too, but hey. I don't go for the shrunken-balls look.
tekballa -- toilet fans rockin'
I will accept a sac fly here to get the second out. Just get an out.
No, he meant me. You weren't here
I know. But, uh... I was referring to something else.
Almost used "kynodesme" to describe Gabe there. Would anyone have known what that was?
You want Cano to fly some sac?
http://www.addicks3.fsnet.co.uk/nat/
nudelife/kynod/kynod.htm
Maybe another splitter?
Phrenile, no idea. Tell us?
We will accept a 7-4 win.
C'mon Pap. Throw strikes to the dud.
Roy Halladay - CG loss to TX today.
OK, we'll take a 7-5 win. But let's get it over with already.
a win's a win - extract the molar.
Bot looks like he is over throwing. Maybe he had too much rest. (1st run agaist bot in his career at the staduim).
Oops, make that two.
Oh, shit. Maybe Josh should have come back.
I looked it up, Phrenile. Sounds terribly painful (and wouldn't work on Gabe anyway).
" When the kynodesme was worn in the form of a waist strap, it maintained the penis in the upright position, clearly exposing the balls, which were also considered pleasing to the eye. "
Shit!
Where WAS that pitch?
The Kynodesme.
Basically, ancient Greek athletes would tie a strap around their foreskins to make their penises pointier.
bot v shemp
Gabe---no foreskin, one would assume.
do not doubt the bot
WE WIN!!!!
Water. Pointy phallic water.
OK, so we get the win! YAY!!
Finally, Matsui wasn't happy!
First place all alone!!!
amy: just saying he looks a little pointy in that photo.
It pleases me greatly that Matsui made the last out. :)
dirty water flowing in the bronx
Interesting facts about kynodesme, lots of dissing on Kay, and another fun night @ JoS.
I am too embarrassed to go back and check it out!
Glad I didn't click on any of those links, sounds hideous. Pleasing to the eye, eh? Hmm.
Amy has the right idea anyway. The WSJ mostly likely doesn't have a foreskin.
The WSJ mostly likely doesn't have a foreskin.
Heh.
The Wall Street Journal likely doesn't have a foreskin.
So my terrible movie choices of the night are Spider man 2, Troy, and Bourne Supremacy.
Which evil do I choose, Sexy lips Brad Pitt, Matt Damon, or Toby Maguire?
We sure have a range of topics here on JoS.
Nice win. Could have been nicer (like a shut out) but a win's a win. We heart Josh. He of no nickname.
Good night!
OK - to the showers!
Great day. Sox beat the MFY.
Lady Knights beat the 1st place Arcadia team.
Just glad my granddaughter doesn't follow JoS or she would know I called her team by last year's name earlier.
Pretty much unforgivable.
Aw c'mon, I bet the Wall Street Journal has a foreskin!
I think a creative retaliation would've been Tek sticking out his foot and tripping Melky as he crossed the plate on his short porch circumcised dong.
Thanks to L's comment days ago, we've been on a pizza kick, and it's caused me to miss a bunch of time in threads, including just now. But we get the win and we leave with a split.
Good night all! Great game, great game thread.
So, should we start a pool for MBM's 500th?
Hope the pizza was good, Jere. Ours was fab. It will be winter the next time I have pizza, probably.
Paps nearly tripled his ERA that inning.
"So, should we start a pool for MBM's 500th?"
Aw, come on, redsock promoted it and everything...
I had pizza tonight, also.
Of course, it was Domino's. Ehh.
vquzeshuf: I think Beckett had a good showing tonight. He gave a pretty good 7+ innings with only 3 runs allowed. I hope he gets back on the winning streak and help carry the team on his shoulders throughout the season. We need him this year and hopefully his back spasms don't ruin his season.
padres & rockies going to the 15th iinning! WOOO HOO! FREE BASEBALL!
TOP OF THE 19TH IN SAN DIEGO!
WOOOOOOOOOOO! PASS ME ANOTHER BEER!
TOP OF THE 21ST!
BEER ME!
rockies win in 22
Wow, Allan will be thrilled to hear this when he wakes up.
Game over at 4:22 AM!
Reminds me of the best game I ever attended.
August 23, 1989!
L and I were in Vermont seeing friends and we were going to go up for Monday's game. We changed plans at the last minute and said fine, we'll go see the Expos on Wednesday instead.
Wow. Rox and Pads scoreless for 13, then both teams get a run in the 14th, then scoreless until the Rox get 1 in the top of the 22nd!
If you like quotes from players and the manager, then today's your day.
Tito, on the pained expression on his face when Farnsworth threw behind Manny: "I had gas. I was just glad it didn't hit Manny. A 98 at your lips is going to hurt."
They had a 7th inning stretch.
They had a 14th inning stretch.
They had a 21st inning stretch.
We had the 7/14/21 stretches in Montreal too. Youppi also came out in pajamas and a pillow. Thought we saw a triple play in the 17th or something, but it was only a DP.
I had to use a scorecard at the park that night and it was getting quite full by the 14th or so. I went out to get another one -- and all the concessions were closed.
I can think of a future conversation later on in life...
"Can I have two scorecards?"
"Uh, why do you need two?"
"What if this game goes 18 innings? Or 22!?"
Thought we saw a triple play in the 17th or something, but it was only a DP.
Players came running out on the "field" to celebrate, only to be called back in and keep playing.
What a night! When we got out of the game, the metro wasn't running, Montreal had set up special shuttle buses to bring people home. People were lined up with sleeping bags...sleeping out for Rolling Stones tickets! It was very disorienting.
Your '89 game went 22 innings, but game time was only 5:14. you'd think they could do better than that. Give the sox/MFY a slap at 22 innings you'd be there almost 10 hrs or so (judging by a time of ~4hrs/9in game).
niether the pads or the rox could get to 2nd base!
a couple of close plays, to no avail. i wanted to see a utility player pitch, thats what i was routing for. and the broadcasters! what a difference from us psycho sox fans/don and remy. the other team would get a hit and they are all " well thats ok, they are bound to hit sometime..." hahahaha
my poor girlfriend wasnt too psyched about watching the 22 nning game, especially after i watech the mets go to 14 the same night!
Your '89 game went 22 innings, but game time was only 5:14.
But it was scoreless! Ended 1-0. That makes up for anything.
I think Josh will be a big asset to the Sox victories this season. He needs to give more than 5 innings like Rob said, and if he does that, he'll be earning his pay check.
