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.

Weather Underground's radar is more optimistic than the Weather Channel's radar.
I just put a new TV in my room. I had a 19", and this one is a 27". It...is...a...beast. I'm about four or five feet away from the TV. So, it looks like a big screen.
The problem, though, is this TV's picture. You know how NESN has their Edge on the bottom of the screen? This TV shows the left side at the bottom of the TV, and the right side about 3/4" above the bottom of the TV. So, it goes uphill. Everything kinda goes uphill. And I have no idea how to fix it.
My googlefu suggests moving the tv (they're sensitive to the earth's magnetic fields) and calling a technician to fiddle with hidden service menu options.
What's the model?
Okay, I'm here.
Steak is good.
And we're off to the...
Boom. One out.
Tofu steak?
Never seen that problem, Ish. Sounds very odd.
OK, no no hitter tonight.
No tofu. No.
Hmm let's see...
Panasonic CT-27G7DF-1
..Hidden controls?
Googlefu. New word for me.
This might be the procedure for accessing the hidden menus on that model.
You might also try: up up down down left right left right B A select start.
Can someone tell me why Brad Mills is coaching, what is that, 3rd base?
Papi!
No no hitter for them either.
shift this.
let's go, being.
Ok, *now* no no-hitter.
Ish, his wife is having medical tests. According to Remy/Orsillo.
I mean DeMarlo Hale's wife.
(Is that the right spelling?)
Yes, "DeMarlo Hale".
Four batters, two strikeouts. Small sample size, but I like the sample.
These adjustments are interesting, Phil. I haven't been able to fix the problem yet... Trying to figure out what all the different numbers mean. That's just me not being a TV serviceman, heh. But I like tinkering with things anyways.
Meche has had good success against the Sox and it makes me wonder what an all anti-Red Sox team would look like (with current players).
My ace would be Kazmir, and my catcher would be Posada.
Panasonic apparently uses hex values for its service modes, so fiddling might be difficult.
Werner, when you just say "2012," the casual fan doesn't know you're referring to the 100th anniversary celebration.
FIRE!!!!
NO! MUSSINA DIDN'T MAKE IT THROUGH ONE!!!!?!?!? Say it ain't so!
Did I say Mussina couldn't keep it up? I sure was thinking it.
He's down 7-0 in the 1st...all on two outs after a Calm Eyes error.
Baltimore is the anti-Yankees
Mussina lasts 2/3 of an inning and gives up 7 runs to Baltimore.
Jeter throwing error means only one is earned, though.
Holy shit, 7-0 Orioles, "can life get any better? I submit that it cannot." - Brian Regan
7 runs all with two outs!
Hmmm. A double play doesn't score the run, here.
scrotum fly
Hey, is it possible for a Yankee fan to leave the Stadium BEFORE they arrive?
Hey, is it possible for a Yankee fan to leave the Stadium BEFORE they arrive?
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Circle looking for parking and go home?
cost us a run..
Nice at bat.
Jere, there are no casual Red Sox fans, are there?
What was Werner's story about Rose Kennedy? I missed what he said, as I was focused more on him talking about Teddy making it until 2012.
Coco Clutch
casual fans= "Yankee fans who happen to be tuning in to NESN", ha
Pedroia does in one pitch what Coco couldn't manage to do in eight (end the inning).
Hey y'all!
I've just gotten home from work but apparently I don't get to watch the game because Dave, who has been home all day, already has the TV.
I'm not bitter. Much.
Jeter follows up in the bottom of the first by grounding into a double play.
Jeter follows up his 7-run error by hitting into a double play.
Wow, we phrased that quite similarly.
(Will we repeat it with the follow-up comment?)
Get out of my head, Jere.
Awwwww
Jeter follows up in the bottom of the first by grounding into a double play.
Sounds like CI needs to commit seppuku to save some face.
Awwwww.
Hi Sarah! Did you ever get to dinner last night? Or did you quietly watch the no hitter?
Looks like furry bacon to me.
That was some bad base running.
Missed a bit of Werner also, but Ted Kennedy's grandfather was "Honey Fitz" Fitzgerald -- Boston mayor in 1912 who threw out the first pitch with Rose (wife?).
No, Rose was his daughter. She married Joe Kennedy, father of JFK, RFK, Teddy etc.
Gordon gets caught in a run-down?
is laura here tonight????
Damon fielding error.

No sign of Laura yet, Magnolia. But Allan knows best.

Cool.
L is here but we have guests and she is not online. All 4 watching
the game though.
A-Rod reaches on a Mora throwing error. Maybe it'll be one of those games like we had the other night.
Amy, I'm pretty sure I'm incapable of quietly watching a no-no. I'd have been busy chattering about everything else I could think of!
We did make it to dinner, and we went to Dave's favorite bar, where of course, they had the game on, so I got to see a lot of it. Dave didn't understand why I was so obsessed but wouldn't tell him why!
Oh, good, Sarah. You got to have your cake and eat it, too! Poor Dave, he needs a class in Baseball 101. Did he get it once the game was over?
Cora would've had that too. Hopefully.
55 pitches through four. He's managed to put someone on each inning but has still been pretty darn efficient.
BAL - 72

Cano further slides into irrelevance this season. Isn't he supposed to be their future?
He got it, but I don't think he really understood how special it was. His best friend from home is a huge fan and she's given up, she spent years trying to explain baseball to him.
I suspect he's going to be like my mom, who was always willing to watch ballgames on tv, but mostly because dad would rub her feet!
Baseball and foot massage. That sounds compelling.
"Cano further slides into irrelevance this season. Isn't he supposed to be their future?"
No you're thinking of 2008 AL MVP Shelley Duncan

anyone doubt i won't be posting tabloids tomorrow?
"Gload" reminds me of "goiter".
So I take it you are doing the foot massages! Not a bad deal all the way around.
It reminds me of gonad.
Well, the Mets have already lost half of their doubleheader (second's rain-delayed), so it's not certain whose sorrows will get top billing.
If I know the NY tabloids, the Yankees woes will be far more compelling to them tonight when they go to press. Especially if the current trend holds up.
Did the Mets give up 7 in the first at home to the Orioles though?
I don't mean to completely turn this into a MFY game thread, but Materson is being brutally boringly efficient.
Jeter hit by pitch, gets pinch run for.
gload = "gonad" + "load"
not good.
I was just going to mlbtv to see how badly Jeter was hurt...
And I would've got there sooner had the orioles.com link not taken me to a list of OAKLAND A'S games...
Dave just set the DVR to record some stuff and gave me the remote! I didn't even have to play the massage card - he's gone to play one of the old gta games in the other room!

What is gta? Glad you got the remote, Sarah.
What happened to Jeter?
Nice Jere.
LOL, 9Casey!
Also to Allan for the gonad +load comment.
gta = grand theft auto
Werner was wierd in that interview...and Remy and Orsillo seemed taken off guard about all the Teddy Kennedy convo...Akward
Grand Theft Auto [4].
Good evenin' folks. I've been around but not on the computer.
Sweet stuff from Justin so far. I love it.
If you'd like to see a picture of yours truly wearing the head of the North Shore Navigators Alligator (mascot still to be officially named), go ahead:

Werner actully ended the interview himself.
"Adam Jones singles on a soft ground ball to third baseman Alex Rodriguez."
We can't all be Lowell.
Somehow the Kennedy story on the heels of the Lester story seems to have left a lot of people feeling a bit stunned. I am not surprised that Werner, Orsillo and Remy didn't quite know what to say, given the diagnosis.
On the play before, A-Rod made a shitty throw to first on an easy play and Giambi saved him an E
JG: your link's getting chopped.
Holy crap, you guys! Masterson is nasty!
I was looking for a loaded gun when he first starting talking (Werner on Kennedy)about it.
I love our rookies.
Masterson's GDGD portrait is hilarious, though -- he's all neck.
Great photo, Joe. Is part of your job to wear that during games? :)
Masterson having too much trouble in the minors. Should keep him here.

He has a very different delivery. It reminds me of someone I just can't place it..

The Yes Network has the New York State Smokers Quitline Quiz? That's a little wordy..
Bye, Phil.
Joe are you from that area or do you just go to school at BC?
i really thought manny would hit the HR with Goofball in the booth
And is that you on the the Navigator homepage with Pedroia?
Both
i'm from Revere (and a lifelong BC fan)
and i'm a sophomore at BC... well, I guess a junior now
no, it's not me. i'm not the mascot, i just put on the head for fun while goofing around in the office today. i wish i got to take my pic with pedroia! :(
FIrst they have Werner talking about Ted's cancer, then they have Clarke on, who once ran for office: "When asked by Leary what his platform was, Clarke replied "Fuck the Kennedys".
8-0 Celtics.
Looking like a blowout ; )
My dad keeps changing the channel to the celtics, so keep me updated over here in case he changes for prolonged periods of time
Joe, Masterson is filthy, over.
mdc + lopez up
Masterson reminds me a little of Eck.
It looks to me like if Colon can pitch and Schilling actually coms back, the Sox will have 8 starting pitchers.
Then what?
Who's coming in?
andy is masterson-bating
Another great outing from Masterson. I sure like him.
Pistions come back 12-11 Cs
I sure like him too. Let's hope we don't blow it for him the way we did last time
Jeter hit on wrist, still awaiting word on x-rays. You know, I like to beat the Yanks when they're at full strength.
"this is as hard as I've seen him get hit." - Ken Singleton
Let's hope we don't blow it for him the way we did last time
I know! Please let us not blow another lead.
Now LaTroy throws at a dude's head and benches clear in the Bronx!
NICe. keep us updated Jere. I hoep suspensions follow
I'm glad the yankmes are enjoying their new rivals, tampa and baltimore
Yeah Joe, knock wood, I'd love to see him get his first big league win tonight. He's certainly done his part.
Man, Michael Kay is just as full of shit as ever. First suggesting that the Yanks should hit an Oriole even though he admits the Jeter HBP was unitentional. Next pitch is right at the guy's head. Hawkins ejected, and then Kay starts in with, 'you wonder if this kind of thing can wake a team up.' The desperate Yanks still just trying anything to win. Oh, we've seen other teams "unite" in a fight, well we'll just keep trying that. Face it, you fucking suck.
Jeter X-rays negative, day to day. Bring it on, we'll beat you either way, chokers
That spring training fight with the Devil Rays really caused the Yanks to come roaring out of the chute, eh, Michael Kay?
Millions of Dead Royals!
22-15 celtics
what's up at the sox game?
BC '08 grad Matt Ryan signs a 6 year, up to $72 million contract w/ the Falcons, with $34.5 mil in guaranteed money... you go Matt
What IS the matter with Delcarman this season???
'07 grad, '08 masters degree **
well, i guess an '08 grad too, but i figure i oughta be specific.
damn, 2-1? what happened? we got the game on now
single made it 2-1 Sox, but MDC got out of inning. now 1 out, bottom 7
I have had some kitten issues. They keep chewing electrical cords. Any suggestions on how to stop that?
How did KC score the run?
Uh, Amy, if they keep chewing electrical cords, the problem will sorta take care of itself, one of these days....
Very nice, Jack....
rubbing tabasco on the wires might keep them away.
As a cat person, I hate how cat death is like a funny joke but if you even suggest petting a dog's fur the wrong way it's, like, appalling.
Yeah, or bitter apple. I am reading up on the internet. Thanks, Allan.

Sit.
I can breathe again!
I have to ask: did Paps pull a Joba after that strikeout?
Thank goodness Pap has nerves of steel.
Definite Joba pumping there. Who cares?
Though quite a contrast to Lester's rather low key reaction after pitching the last out last night.
Come on guys, let's get some RUNS!
drinkwater was psyched on that last k
so, are we officially concerned w/ oki yet or what
Luke Scott, the one who got thrown at before, hits a dong, 12-2 us
I'm concerned. His ERA is deceptively low.
Concerned about Oki---yeah, somewhat. He was better than expected last year, so maybe this is more of what we expeced.
Okajima's got a 461 ERA+, which is only going to get higher overnight.
Manny definitely slumping. The curse of the 500?
Bot was doing that fist-pumping jackoff-move long before JtC was in the majors.
Just sayin.
9th.
