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.

"It works like a bunt, har har har."
Jacoby to be stealing, I'm sure.
well, if there is one player i would want up right now, pedroia would be it.
he or yook.
AND THAT HAPPENED!!!!!!!!
Nice.
Wow
Go
Go
Go
YES
Called it.
ooohhh, more than a base hit!
Dustpan!
go west (coast), fuck yeah!!!
I don't know why I thought JAcoby was on base. Oops.
Anyway, irrelevant.
Yaaaaaaaaay
More runs, please.
Goodness gracious, do i have a total nonsexual mancrush on dustin pedroia.
Ish ,you dun' it again.
you see this, manny? you're not gonna take this shit, are you?
Manny, how about FN-tyN
Grant you're lucky L-girl isn't here, or else we'd be having another conversation about the appropriateness of the term 'mancrush'
Time for Manny to finally let the dongs outside.
THAT WORKS!!!
Ballgame.
Wait.... our pen blows.
YEAHHHHHH
FUCK YEAH!
FY can grill my salmon any time he likes. As can Manny.
yeeeeahhhhh! Midnight baseball
ARE YOU GONNA LET THEM PITCH AROUND ORTIZ, MAN RAM.
MAKE THEM PAYYYY!!!!
Yes, like that.
Sometimes, I love these western games.
When shit goes well.
Where has this been all night?
nice play reed -- hahahahahhahah
Keep it rolling Lowell
FY can grill my salmon any time he likes. As can Manny.
Andy would have fun with that one.
AND THAT HAPPENED!!!
HAHAHAHA YES
What an [[[irrelevant]]] play =-O
The Good Doctor issues half a prescription, which turns out to be enough.
If he throws to first RIGHT NOW he still might get Lowell.
flo scoots home!!!
Perhaps Seattle needs to hear a story:
Once apon a time, a closer with the alias, K-Rod, pitched around Ortiz to get to Manny...
Oh boy. I love this inning!
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Drewbbler
What a funny sport.
BUNT! Werd!!
LOADED -- whoooo
I know, Ish. I typed it and then cried a little inside because Andy's not here to exploit it.
Like the Sox are exploiting this!
Oh man grant, that post from patrick was your cue to link to your animated .gif
[i]If he throws to first RIGHT NOW he still might get Lowell.[/i]
Baha :-P
cap off this 8th very uniquely, Tek
AHA! it will come...
the fact that felix the starter has been allowed to face 9 batters in the 8th amuses me.

grilled salmon and steamed spinach.
Mel --another Seattle Yankee
I sooooo wish this was the 9th...
Start the merry-go-round.
(insert Howard Dean impression here)
Nice, Tek.
forgot stottlemyre was in seattle
sock--just for scorecard notation purposes--that was a full swing by Drew on the slow roller.
The CaBBtain! Or whatever.
Hernandez has a particularly pouty way of stalking around the mound. Did you see him after the roller up the 3rd base line?
Man, I really want to visit Amsterdam. Damn you, effective advertisements.
Well, sort of. I don't particularly desire to drink Amstel Light.
Way to stay on top of things, Mclaren.
grilled salmon and steamed spinach.
And oatmeal to start out with - we eat pretty well here at Joy Nation.
I am finally home.
Nice to see they figured it all out AFTER they left me in Oakland. We almost flew up to Seattle too. A couple different drunk guys tried to start a fight with me because their team had just won the world series this weekend. When we got back into SF off the train there was an announcement for Jason Varitek to catch is ride on 4th St. At that point it was mostly Red Sox fans getting back to their hotels so it drew a big laugh. The train booth guy had no idea what he was saying.
keep it going

Kinda like Cano and The Dud.
Wow, looking at gametracker... I didn't even realize how good of an at bat tek had
bases full of Red Sox
Ryan Rowland-Smith in, Eddie Jim-Jensen warming. (WCBS-TV channel 2 news New York joke that no one ever gets--but I'm gonna keep doing it. For as long as this guy's playing.)
SEA TV:
"hernandez was great for 7 innings. things may have gotten a little away from him in the 8th"
YA THINK?????
bronx cheer
Japelbon to Papelbon?
Hey Andy. We were just lamenting the lack of your presence.
Japelbon!
LOL
Joe and I coined the term :D
Why in the world are they advertizing for a day at the races that happened... earlier today?
Who would you have grill your salmon?
JeemerTime!
Due to our not bringing him in with baserunners on... I think it's safe to say Japelbon will do fine and Papelbon will pwn. Let's put this one to bed.
Why in the world are they advertizing for a day at the races that happened... earlier today?
At least Gloria Estefan doesn't pollute my ears between innings from WRKO anymore.
colon: 7-5-1-1-4
What 12 second rule?
Someone fill me in?
At least Gloria Estefan doesn't pollute my ears between innings from WRKO anymore.
YES!!!! I didn't even notice! Oh happy days.
Masters of the understatement, those FSN guys.
I still can't get over Colon. I mean, he was basically FREE! He came out of nowhere like an angel, and he is now gracing out rotation with supreme ass kickage. It's pretty alright.
FSN obsessing over MBM hair.
I knew from the beginning that Colon signing was a brilliant one, it's just fantastic to see that we're actually getting something for our risk-free move.
I don't see Colon flying around in the clouds. Maybe more of a land-angel.
I thought Rice-K was pretty clever, and not hurtful, but what do I know?
12 second rule is how long a pitcher has to throw the ball when there's nobody on. I've only seen it enforced once or twice. Penalty is an automatic ball.
Maybe more of a land-angel.
kinda beached whaleish angel.
Not keen on calling Jeemer "Jap"-anything.
Nice talking out there, boys.
Not keen on calling Jeemer "Jap"-anything.
Kinda reminds me of the nickname Man Ram for Manny. Not crazy bout that one myself. But to each their own.
Yeah but Man Ram isn't the same word as a racial slur. I think that's what he meant.
Japelbon = Jeemer + Papelbon. What were YOU thinking? :-p
kinda beached whaleish angel.
Nah, that is one perfectly happy, swimming around sort of whale.
12,000 people in attendance in Tampa to see the 1st place Rays tonight.
Woooooosh.
That was nice.
k
Having a hard time seeing the difference between Rice and Jap for Dice/Okajima and Watermelon and Fried Chicken for Ortiz/Manny.
Maybe someone could explain it to me.
one yellow light and one blue light
I'd have said Japaneselbon, but it doesn't quite have the same ring :-P
Argh! My nemesis, that girl that can't sing.
I don't even think we need Bapelpwn at this point.
Well done, stunningly resurgent opportunistic offense.
my friend spent like 45 minutes trying to come up with a fake game which the John Mayer commentary would have made perfect sense for
And now we have a regular old buffet going...
I'd like some collards too, since we've added good southern fare.
But Jeemer and Bot are two totally different pitchers. Maybe I'd use a sort of hybrid nickname for Okajima (like Jeemerbon) if they were similar pitchers.
I don't know what it is, but Okaji gives up a hit to the first guy he faces 8 times out of 10.
Can anyone look that up easily? It's got to be bad.
Nipponbon?
But Jimabon is the successful winning combo.
my friend spent like 45 minutes trying to come up with a fake game which the John Mayer commentary would have made perfect sense for
...Cricket?
Person of Asiabon
oh man. I'd love to see some "AND THAT HAPPENED!" commentary for cricket.
McClaren looked like he was thinking ha. Ellsbury almost broke his nuts.
LYNDON-WHEELS!
hahah ellsbury
You can't teach speed like that. Unless you're employed at the Derek Jeter Institute of Stuff You Can't Teach.
Good call, Ish. I can't make heads or tails of that game. Isn't Lord Lynch up by now?
Wow, what a play there.
WOW. That was unbelieveable!
Still no high-five though.
Wow. What a fucking play that was.
We've seen some real gems - pedroia, ichiro, beltre
first batter this year against jeemer (not including tonight):
6-for-17
with a BB and a sac
Wow that rally ended pretty fast.
Ballgame.
yikes.....
Alright, chaps.
Ichiro catch vs. Beltre DP.
Who ya got?
I'm not trying to dis on the Mariner's D, as it has been quite good, but these FSN guys are making too much of it.
Of course, they haven't got much else to make much of at this point.
I say Ichiro. It wasn't difficult to tap his glove on 3rd.
6-for-17
not quite .800
Ichiro catch was better, I think. Beltre did make a great play, but he made it look more impressive by tripping over the bag. After he glove-tagged it, it seemed like he had his body under control. Yet he still stumbled getting up.
I'm with Ichiro too, Beltre didn't even look like he might fall out of the park... and no high fives anywhere.
Okay, would you rather date the deaf or the blind?
he made it look more impressive by tripping over the bag.
Is that another thing you can learn at the Derek Jeter Institute of Stuff You Can't Teach?
In Beltre's defense (ha!), the throw to 1st after that was pretty swell.
Blind. My voice ain't half bad, but if she doesn't have to look at my face, I'm golden.
Is that another thing you can learn at the Derek Jeter Institute of Stuff You Can't Teach?
Third base department, headed by A-Rod.
Miguel Cairo is trying to ruin this whole evening simply by being on my screen. But I won't let him!
So no one is stepping up to explain the nicknames ....
.... then stop using them.
Is that another thing you can learn at the Derek Jeter Institute of Stuff You Can't Teach?
Anyone got a course catalog for that one?
that's a K
Calm down, Red Sock
Calm Eyes 101 is a pre-requisite
Blind. My voice ain't half bad, but if she doesn't have to look at my face, I'm golden.
You might want to go with the deaf-and-blind
Anyone got a course catalog for that one?
Dancing at the Plate 101
BOT back from 3-0 to K!
(yes these FSN guys are going nuts for the catches. also getting *very* excited on fly balls that ococ and drew caught shy of the track.)
Not bad after a 3 - 0 start.
And he ain't fucking around, all fastballs

Calm down, Red Sock
show a little respect .asshole
Anyway, I choose the deaf.
does grant know redsock is the one with the sceptor?
In all fairness, Allan, I don't think anyone has used them since the failure of explaination.
fuck you, grant
you don't agree -- go elsewhere
your choice.
I came up with that nickname by joining the words ass and hole

I see Papelbon has taken Jeter's Throwing 101 course, and must've scored an A.
Ouch. I was thinking as he was fielding it, I love how he's doing such a great job making sure to field the ball here....
Where's the 'jackknifing out of the way of a pitch that's in the strike zone' class?
does grant know redsock is the one with the sceptor?
I've been meaning to ask for a picture of that thing...
uh oh
In all fairness, Allan, I don't think anyone has used them since the failure of explaination.
T'was all I meant. Sorry, Red Sock. That did seem overly assholy.
Where's the 'jackknifing out of the way of a pitch that's in the strike zone' class?
Dancing 101.
you'll have to forgive Grant. he's from connecticut, and thus he does not speak english
Dancing is crucial.
Where's the 'jackknifing out of the way of a pitch that's in the strike zone' class?
Good Lord, you cannot teach that as well (badly?) as Jeter does it.
Seriously, how often do pitchers bobble the ball and not even get a throw off on that other play? And he sure-handedly picks it up...and throws it to the foul pole practically.
Casey, brilliant nickname creation! I can't believe no one came up with that before. What was the inspiration for the addition of "hole"?
sarah -- that's true, i was merely following up.
...
"calm down"? ... sheeeeet, you gotta know you won't win any points typing that.
you'll have to forgive Grant. he's from connecticut, and thus he does not speak english
Plus I'm a math major! Woo excuses!
Vintage Pap there.
Sign me up for calm eyes 101, if it helps me get close to my deaf date.

Bot nabs the Yuni-unbomber
for love of all that is (ass)holy.
I think using ass as a prefix just makes everythng better.
what an assgreat play...
please pass the asspepper...
the bot assstruck out betancourt...
math majors don't know how to interact with the rest of society.
"he's from connecticut, and thus he does not speak english"
Hey, what the crap??? You're the ones that ... aw, forget it. Rotary-drivin &#$&%&$
Ichiro does a number on Yankelbon's ERA
I think using ass as a prefix just makes everythng better.
My sisters friends in college actually use that habitually and for anything at all.
"he's from connecticut, and thus he does not speak english"
I thought it was just Boston that had that problem.
sarah -- that's true, i was merely following up.
Yeah, I saw that - I was actually typing right through the comment you were responding to, so I'd not seen it yet.
irrelevant
You aren't graduating without passing "sell the call on stolen base attempts at second by holding the ball up with your glove really high and starting to run off the field 301."
Pap, you need to drop out of that school, brother.
bot/tek out of sorts.
GET THE OUT, SNUFFER
This is so motherloving lame...
assed ball.
put in timlin.
Boston speaks the only TRUE form of the english language... duh
The asswater is dirty!

Thank you.
And Pedroia unlamifies it.

Uh, Paps? Sack up.
Hey 9casey, you got my back on this Connecticut thing or what?
Pap will only win in save situations, thank you very much.
I really don't want to know what 'asswater' is.
Geez, what was the actual date of our last road win? 2 Weeks?
Finally - our water is dirty again.
I really don't want to know what 'asswater' is.
Whatever it is, it's not clean.
