Red Sox - 000 100 040 - 5 9 1Hell of a pitchers duel for seven innings. Both Colon and Hernandez worked quickly and threw few pitches. The game was 1:29 old at the seventh inning stretch.
Mariners - 000 001 002 - 3 8 0
David Ortiz homered to dead center in the fourth to put Boston on the board. Seattle tied it in the sixth: Ichiro Suzuki singled, Jose Lopez was hit by a pitch, Jose Vidro bunted the two runners over and Ichiro scored on a grounder to second from Raul Ibanez.
The Red Sox broke through against Felix in the eighth: Sean Casey singled, Julio Lugo forced him at second, Jacoby Ellsbury grounded to second, Dustin Pedroia doubled to deep left (2-1), Ortiz was walked intentionally, Manny Ramirez singled over Jeremy Reed's head in right field (3-1), Mike Lowell singled (4-1), J.D. Drew dropped a bunt down that died on the third base grass, Jason Varitek walked (5-1) -- and then Hernandez was pulled.
Colon: 7-5-1-1-4, 84.

The other night Phil said "Feel better, Laura" and I said I wasn't sick.
Well, he was right. Now I'm sneezing and coughing and sound like a frog.
I'll be watching w/o threading as long as I can stay awake. No computer though. Everybody give Allan messages so I know you still love me.
Sorry to inflict that on you, Laura, but really it's Allan who deserves the credit.
Kinsler tries to make it respectable with a two-run homer.

You need three characters to try to get the columns to line up with non-fixed-width fonts, nick. I'm going with "FGR" for "Fucking Rays".

OK, I'll buy that explanation. Maybe I'm a bit dense, but I don't get the "G" in "FGR".
Sorry to hear that, Laura. speedy recovering. And best of luck to Allan sharing the same space.
Me too, Laura, me too.
We'll see how long I'm up for this one, but never fear, I do still love you.
"Mike Timlin did a nice job weaving out of trouble"
not something you see every day.
CCR for carl crawford's rays.
There's a bad moon on the rise.
Yeah, I'd go with FKR if you're trying to say Fucking Rays.
Though Fucking Good Rays works too, and differentiates them from all previous Devil Ray attempts.
Or FDR for Fucking Devil Rays, which makes me happy because it uses the Devil, but I'm leery of it due to the previous use of dead presidents on our side.
"FuckinG Rays"? First and last is a typical way to abbreviate. What would you prefer, "FKR"?
Celtics pulled to within 6 at the half.
good things.
We <3 you L. Feel better. Hopefully the Sox help in that process.
Come on chunky colon!
Colorado's getting pounded 18-4 by the Phillies.
How the hell did those guys make it to the World Series anyways? Someone had to put them in their place.
Celtics pulled to within 6 at the half.
good things.
4, wasn't it? Rondo had that crazy fallaway lunging basket and the foul.
Watching basketball, hockey, and soon, baseball. I'll be back around mid-game.
Feel better, L. Sickly in late May. That's too bad.
I miss L on the posts. Hope you recovery quickly.
"FKR" would probably be pronounced "Fucker", so maybe that does work.
4, wasn't it? Rondo had that crazy fallaway lunging basket and the foul.
DOh! yeah, 4. Actually listened to the second on the radio. The color guy is hilarious.
L says thanks.
(seems like a bunch of attention whoring to me! ... :>) )
FSN shitbags for me -- Rogers isn't being nice and throwing NESN on some another station.
camo gear?! gag me. Bring out the pink bats.
Oh what peace a second cable box brings...
I left the room and when I came back Dave had switched the main tv over to the sox game and repaired to the secondary one in the bedroom.
Why does this country have to be so horizontal? 10 o'clock games are so yawn.
10am games are probably pretty yawn for some Californians, but I'm not as sympathetic.
I too am stuck with FSN.
L says yay to 2nd cable box!
btw
yook out of lineup .... casey in, batting 8th.
Oh! I have news too! I'll be going back to college in the fall to get a BE in Environmental Engineering. I just got the letter from City College the other day. Ten years in theatre was plenty.
fucker. nice catch.
AHHHH. I'm scared already.
Why does this country have to be so horizontal? 10 o'clock games are so yawn.
Next year let's all move to Chile.
blink blink - 2 outs
nice start to felix's perfect game!!!
Sarah, congrats! that's terrific.
I just got back a few hours ago from seeing a friend of mine get his BS at Cornell (at the age of 33 and having been out of school for 13 years).
I'm proud of Colon, for some inexplicable reason.
game #2000 for manny, sez sea tv
horizontal?
The mayor seemed to make a point to acknowledge anyone he could see on that play.
Wow, good find Nick.
very cool map, nick.
Now I just need a science lesson, a few vocabulary words, and some interesting sabermetric stats (Math).
yeah, it's a pretty fascinating blog that seems to exist just so I can suddenly apply it to a situation such as this.
hooray for random significance.
Easy there Patrick - I'm not starting classes til the fall!
perfect, felix, perfect!!!
Ughh. This guy is another Sox killer.
Ugh, the flag waving.
And, ugh, the Felix.
I love that we're all getting the chance to watch Felix's PERFECT GAME together.
Why yes, FSN, the reigning world champions ARE the team to beat in the East, and everywhere else, thankyouverymuch.
What was the Rays final?
colon looking fine!!!
7-3 Joe.
The bad news is it's looking bad for the Celtics. the good news is that might mean i can persuade dad to put on the sox soon.
You know what you need Joe? A
SECOND CABLE BOX!
(No, I'm not enjoying that AT ALL.)
TEX: 000 001 002 - 3 5 0
FKR: 100 131 10x - 7 16 0
TB also had 15 LOB
GD it. C's need to stop being a bunch of Dbags and sack up.
I've got another TV, but I like hanging with my dad and watching the game. Even if it means flicking back and forth a lot.
Is truck day anytime soon? We left the bats at Fenway.
My Dave is the best. He just came in to fix himself a bourbon on the rocks, which made me think that the thing my horrible, coughing throat needs is...
A hot toddy! Brilliant!
I just turned on the game and saw Felix on the mound for the Mariners and I just thought it figures. Hernandez is supposed to start against the Yankees in NY, but instead he suffers some mysterious injury and misses not only his start but the entire series. So of course as soon as we get to town he's feeling fine! Yay!
In similarly irritating news, Rich Harden who would win a Cy if he could stay healthy, has started five games this year. Three of them have been against Boston.
Pardon me while I go pull my hair out.
OOO, at this point pulling my hair out sounds like a good use of time.
Nice!
Barto has huge splits between lefties and righties. Righties are hitting .091 against him, lefties around .500
pedrOHHHHHHHHH-YEAHHHHHHH!
SEA TV pretty much calling that as a hit when FY says FU!!
Gosh, I hope Felix doesn't lose his control, with him throwing a perfect game and all.
Celts down by 8 after three. Ugly but still within reach...
mattymatty, what you've just described is one of the many reasons this team is so great. The MFY might be having good matchup luck, and we might be having lousy, but take a look at the standings.
AND THAT HAPPENED!!!
Fo' shizzle, tizzle!
Papi delivers. That looks deep.
HELLL FREAKING YEAH!!!!
AHHHHHHHHH.
Papi understands that if he wants to get plated, he'll have to drive himself in.
Those who are not cursed by FSN, is NESN being as inanely patriotic? It's making me want to throw things at the tv. And I like my tv.
Noo!!! Put in Rajon!
The Sox actually got some good swings in on Felix in that inning. Papi, obviously, but Manny crushed that ball right at the shortstop and Pedroia hit one on a line at Ichiro too. Thats promising.
The stupid Yankees lost today in Baltimore too, so they're not going anywhere for a while.
Oh, good, walk the guy who can't hit.
Hurray! WTG Barto!
these fsn dicks are annoying. that catch by drew -- pretty normal, they are sure it would fall.
also they make a point of saying manny jogs in, manny nonchalantly catches it -- yet when ichiro does the same thing ... nothing. more manny = lazy in the field shit.
pc
felix: 8-12-8 11 = 39
colon: 13-10-11 10 = 45
Werd on!
ichi-fucking-ro!
Wow. That looked rough. I'm impressed.
Man, I know he's not ours, but I do love me some Ichiro.
sea tv totally lost his shit on that one.
HEY -- did ichiro hi-5 a fan and get a DP?
NO HE DID NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Veritek has some of the looooongest outs.
Oh bah.
maybe we could get him to be the 2nd backup CF?
Ugh. Felix is getting lucky now.
Great play by Ichiro, but can we get any more unlucky? Thats at least four balls that have been scalded and we've got nothing for it.
I'm turning off the Celtics out of frustration. If they're going to come back, they'll have to do it on their own.
Haha - I found myself thinking the same thing, Allan.
I'm hanging in there for a few more minutes. Gotta get a score-stop-score sequence.
there's the 'score'
I'm listening to KOMO the station covering Seattle, and they always come in two pitches late. We barely made it back for the leadoff strikeout.
Nick - that was great.
Matty - we've got more to show for it than they do!
but no stop
Nice, Colon being economic with his 52 pitches through 5.
There we go. 6-2 run for the Greene Teeme.
I wish I had bought that ice cream when I had the chance...
I'm going to go to bed. Gotta get up for work in 6 hrs. Have a good night everyone.
Go Sox!
Tell me if they come within 3, Joe.
What a quick game this is tonight. Hard to believe. Five innings in under an hour. One big blur. And meanwhile, the drama continues on the basketball court.
night, matty.
Nightnight mattymatty.
Not the guy you wanna walk there, Felix
wow. nice recovery on that pickoff.
still 5 patrick
BALK.
not looking good 4 the celtics. detroit +7 with the ball, 3:13 to go
Wheels on at second, thanks to the balk call - let's do something with this!
Or not.
Make that 10. Jeez.
umm...
tp pls
...turning my FULL attention to the Red Sox now.
"he's the straw that stirs the drink"
I'd like to give this the inane analogy of the day award.
as opposed the straw that sucks the drink.
Crap.
tie game.
I like Varitek's catching gear.
If I was some war guy, and I got all fucked up in some war, I'd be like, Thanks for honoring me and all, but please, I never wanna see camo again.
tie sucks..coulda been worse.
could have been worse
Wow, I wrote that before I saw ish's comment--wasn't a reaction to what he said. I'm just sayin'.
cue bill hicks joke about jesus coming back and seeing all the crucifixes and jackie o having someone come up to her with a rifle pendant, "thinkin' of john!"
.
Wow, I wrote that before I saw ish's comment--wasn't a reaction to what he said. I'm just sayin'.
I love it when that happens.
I almost mentioned the Hicks joke, too! That's so funny you said that. I'm a huge Hicks fan...
Game #2000 for Manny tonight.
I almost mentioned the Hicks joke, too! That's so funny you said that. I'm a huge Hicks fan...
Me too. There must be a couple of moths on their way to the sun, saying "It's gonna be worth it."
have you seen "Take Your Daughter To War" Day?
speaking of cammo, my neighbor must be the weirdest guy on my street. When the occasion is right, and he is feeling patriotic like today, he hooks up a fake small howitzer to his Harley. The cannon sports two huge american flags, one for each side.
Brings tears to my eyes every time.
looooooooooove hicks.
not crazy about the whole goatboy or whatever it was, but his straight standup was genius. "whatchuu readin for?"
come on lowelly!
Oh the Onion. How can you not love the Onion!?
Nice that manny actually tries to walk when he knows he's slumping.
...oh yea, and he was decked out in full cammo, and paraded his ass all over town.
Moot.
Mike been doing that too much as of late...
MDC warming.
and Jeemer.
passed ba... crap. pointless.
I think I'm glad I don't live on your block, Patrick.
Try again, V-tek. This time a few more feet.
i'll have to see that onion later.
i see a shirt for sale at that link that seems made especially for me: "i'd rather be complaining"
Felix reminds me of the young Yankees. Cano, Milk Dud, etc. Kinda got that same look. Can't really explain it.
I think I'm glad I don't live on your block, Patrick.
For sure. I got a friend who's dad says he wouldn't vote for Obama because he's black....
I agree Ish. He has the melky look.
Remember when we used to hit the ball?
Watching this guy singing on mute is the most entertaining thing ever. Watch his facial expressions! Priceless.
7th inning stretch ... after 1:29 of game!
we're thinkin' back east
The Onion also has a shirt that says "The Sports team from My Area is Superior To the Sports Team from Your Area." And another one that says "WOO! SPORTS!"
7th inning stretch ... after 1:29 of game!
GBA messing up our insanely quick ballgame.
God Loves My Country
We're evolving!
I hate Monday night deity blessing
I'm 6.5 innings late with this but ...
SAFECO -- home of the fuckin' greatest grilled salmon sandwich sold in major league fuckin' baseball. good god. yes.
MMM, thats some good accordion...
Is Colon still on a limited pitch count tonight? I wish I had any confidence that our relief staff could hold the score tied.
http://www.theonion.com/content/node/33426
colon = 90 i think
Strength, speed, and agility are just three of the qualities that the players on the team from your area lack. The players representing my area, on the other hand, have these traits in abundance.
I'd like the Red Sox to start grilling some salmon soon.
Pen
Heh. Miguel Cairo.
So, we have two Yankees on this Mariners team. Yes, I'm calling Felix a Yankee. He's just got that look.
At least it's your friend's dad and not your friend, Patrick. If I have to see that sort of bigotry, I prefer it in older people.
bullpen plz
nice
faith - colon will not be obstructed
WHEW.
Didn't result in the "whole bunch of problems" Remy thought it would.
I think that will be the end of Bartolo for the night.
This must be one of Buchholz's best starts of the season.
But wait! This ain't no HH!
NICE! NICE! NICE! RUNS PUHLEEEASSEEEEE.
joe--he only gave up the one hard hit ball.
If anything he's triple H.
I'd like the Red Sox to start grilling some salmon soon.
And sharing it with me. Mmmm... Salmon...
anyone else up for 27 or 30 innings tonight???
anyone else up for 27 or 30 innings tonight???
Nope. 9 innings and a W, please.
And some grilled salmon for Sarah.
I'd consider putting on the bunt here.
HI GRANT!
great fucking job Lugo
Lugo showing his high baseball IQ...
Sigh.
his ass had better be running to second base.
HI JOE!
He should've bunted the way he does for all those hits!
dont bunt to first base side, douche. grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
come on jacob e.
anyone else up for 27 or 30 innings tonight???
Hells yeah! I want to see Josh Beckett out there throwing in relief.
i REALLY think we should be stealing here...
Thanks Ish! Grilled salmon would wash that W down right nice.
Don't bunt at a pitch coming at your head, period
boy, that would have been a fail.
watch lugo get CS .....
Let's see if Lugo can somehow produce two more outs by himself
...if Lugo got picked there, I would have jumped into the 42 inch sony lcd television and kicked loolio hugo in the go-nads
okay, just get the base hit here
Let's see if FY is a good cook.
