Royals - 000 000 100 - 1 5 0Masterson was superb yet again: 6.1-3-1-3-5, 91. ... Francona on post-game: Masterson promoted to Pawtucket!!
Red Sox - 020 000 00x - 2 5 0
He allowed a two-out double in the first, a two-out HBP in the second, walks in the third and fourth that were quickly erased, a two-out double in the sixth -- but pitched out of trouble each time. (A leadoff walk in the seventh eventually scored.)
The Red Sox made their second inning rally -- Kevin Youkilis one-out single, J.D. Drew single, Jason Varitek BB, Julio Lugo sacrifice fly, Coco Crisp RBI double -- stand up.
Hideki Okajima had some trouble in the 8th: leadoff double, one-out walk, two-out walk. Jonathan Papelbon came on with the bases loaded and two outs -- and struck out Billy Butler. He then pitched a perfect 9th, a 3-1 grounder and two strikeouts.

A first inning throwing error by Derek Jeter allowed the Orioles to keep batting -- and they scored seven runs -- en route to a 12-2 victory over the Yankees. ... NYY = 7.5 GB.

Gil Meche (5.98, 71 ERA)+ / Justin Masterson (1.50, 286 ERA+)
Masterson's only other major league appearance was against the Angels at Fenway on April 24, 2008. Boston lost the game, but he put up an impressive 6-2-1-4-4, 95 line.
Tampa held off the A's in 13 innings last night to remain 1 GB. They play again at 10, while the last-place Yankees (6.5 GB) host the Orioles at 7.

Way to go Bot!
Amy: Contra code (aka Konami code).
Is there a free way I can listen to the C's on the computer?
Ish is probably thumbing through the phone book to find a tv repairman to reset his settings.
Seattle seemed to have made a good effort on that. down 11-1 they pull up with 7 in the bottom 3 innings--4 of those runs in the 9th.
Not enough, though.
The water is dirty! First time Justin Masterson's gotten dirty in his major league career!

I've been out in the living room utilizing the two TVs. Celtics game on tonight as well. I love setting up two TVs.
I just wish I had a laptop to bring out there.

why is phil so concerned with the Mets? Phil, why are you so concerned with the Mets?
Because they impact tomorrow's schadenfreude backpages.
Is there a free way I can listen to the C's on the computer?
Hmm. No idea. I was wondering what their rules were that sort of thing.
How about radio? They're on 104.9 on the FM dial, Patrick.
I guarantee Yanks get top billing, nothing to worry about there.
Duncan's ugly and shitty. How can you compete against that?
Ya, I can listen to them on the radio, but I'd have to get off the comptuer....
I suppose that could be a good thing.
Were any of you B-ball watchers watching that game when they were talki' Lester? And they showed the announcers in the crowd behind Henry/Werner, totally rooting for the no-no. That Mike Breen is anti-Yankee, as is Van Gundy apparently/

Heh, yeah. Oh, the tradeoff.
Radio pbp man, to color guy for Celtics: "Come on. It's the Eastern Conference Finals. Focus."

Yep, I saw that. I also loved watching Lenny Clarke in the booth with Don and Jerry. Gold.
Duncan represents all that is soulless and evil (and hideously ugly) in this world. He's a perfect fit for the pinstripes. They're really mastering making that robot.
Definitely not in my universe, Phil! I stopped playing video games after Ms. PacMan, which I was totally addicted to. Haven't touched one in probably 20 years now. THey just got way too sophisticated for me.

Contra was released in the U.S. in 1988, twenty years ago.
I'm all for old-school video games. Super Mario Brothers, Sonic, etc. Tetris, Kirby's Adventure, Zelda...
Amy--the old games rule and there's still plenty of appreciation for them. Many Pizza Huts have a Ms. Pac-Man. I was in a band a few years back, and we named ourselves The Pac-Men. (We like Ms. way better but we were all dudes so we figured "Ms. Pac-Men" might cause confusion.)
NBA.com suggests you can register for live audio, but it wants a non-mac plugin.
ish--that's middle school:) or at least not the oldest possible of schools....
There you go, 20 years ago. Around the time I was too busy with little kids and working to get tenure to have time to keep up with video games. When I next had a chance, things were SO different that I was lost.
I still love to play Ms Pacman when I can find an old machine.
Pacman was before my time a little bit, but not enough for me to not like it. I'd play it, but I couldn't get addicted to it very much.
funny thing is I'm not a really a game player either (I totally rocked at tetris for my 8088 with the 16 color EGA), but being partly in the computer-geeky sphere I've been acquainted with that code.
I'm impressed with the nonchalant way in which phil laid it down. perfect timing (in as much as we're dealing with isolated text-posts).
I've been getting into Double Dribble again on one of those video game sites. Not the same using the keyboard but still fun to make those shots from half court WAY too often.
ish--that's middle school:) or at least not the oldest possible of schools....
That's true. But you get a 7 year old kid today to play Super Mario Brothers, and he'd probably call you a geek.
I still like Tetris. But I find myself dreaming of falling shapes after I play.
OK, I am off to figure out how to protect my kitties. Have a good night, everyone.
Java Ms. Pacman.
Tetris dreams! Happens to everybody...
ms. pacman on sega genesis was my favorite game as a tyke
That is an EXTREMELY slow Ms. Pac
unless it's just my laptop
I'm trying out some more of this TV repairing thing. Very interesting, but still confusing. I think I'll get it, though.
Nothing left to watch now but the Celtics and TB games.
Anyone see the replay of the last pitch ,Oliveoil snared at Bot after the fist pump.....
I think it's your laptop; it's full speed on mine.
It's apparently a full MAME emulation, so more processor intensive than a native port.
Anyone see the replay of the last pitch ,Oliveoil snared at Bot after the fist pump.....
Yeah, I think a slight fist pump is good, but I'm not a fan of Bot's jerking-off fist pump thing, but he escaped a bases loaded situation with a 1 run lead.
ish said...

I agree, it's not a big deal to me , but it would be nice to Bot act like he has been there before, which he has.Pedro still has the best ....strike him out and look in and walk off slowly.
There is something still to be said of quiet confidence.
strike him out and look in and walk off slowly.
Some of my favorite Pedro moments. He walks to the dugout, looks toward the plate, then looks forward again.
Yeah, the Ellsbury slide-into-home-and-wander-off-with-a-silly-grin approach is preferable.
Okay I tried that Ms. Pac-Man again and now it's more normal, but still the equivalent of the "slow" machine, meaning no speed-up chip.
Hinske doubleplay erases a couple baserunners. Looks like he's returned to earth.
Celtics radio guys are more interested in the Yankees losing than we are.
You can always download MAME. Googling would probably get you a rom file you can fiddle with.
love it. 7.5?
It's good to get Masterson his first win. His squandered April performance was a shame.
Good stuff from 38:
About a year ago Dustin Pedroia, soon to be rookie of the year, saves Clay Bucholz’s no-hitter with an incredible play. Yesterday Jacoby does the same for Jon Lester. That group of 4 players is like the Mount Rushmore of why the Red Sox have put themselves in a position to win, a lot, over the next decade. All of that done with the “rock” behind the plate that is Jason Varitek.
It’s no coincidence that he’s now caught a record 4 no-hitters, trust me. I would BET, BIG MONEY, that I’d have been the 4th if I hadn’t shaken him off…..
TBR - 000 00
OAK - 000 01
Unfortunately:
TBR - 000 000 030
OAK - 000 010 001
I stayed up to watch it on GDGD, too. Thomas's solo shot in the 9th wasn't enough to unshit the bed soiled in the 8th.
So Tampa Bay's still 1 GB.
