Rays - 100 102 000 - 4 7 1Masterson was solid (6-6-4-2-5, 91), Manny Delcarmen and Craig Hansen looked great, Mike Lowell opened the scoring with a two-run dong in the second, and Coco Crisp put the game on ice with a two-run double in the sixth ... but the star of the night was J.D. Drew.
Red Sox - 020 104 00x - 7 7 0
Drew doubled in the second, hit a solo home run in the fourth, walked and scored in the sixth, and made two outstanding catches in right field in the fourth and fifth innings.
In New York, Joba Chamberlain threw 37 pitches in his first inning of work -- almost a career-high number of pitches for an outing -- walking three Blue Jays and committing a balk. He lasted only 2.1 innings; Toronto used a six-run seventh to grab a 9-3 win. ... Baltimore beat Minnesota, so the Yankees (28-30) are back in the basement (7 GB).

Game used undershirts, of course.
Not cups?
damnit dustin chasing today
Humbug.
Jacoby was caught stealing, I was there.
we are coming closer to our great promise that anyone can be president...
they did last 8 years ago.
It's a new month, but Pedroia's still regressing.
ooh it's almost ish time
That's what we're calling it nowadays?
I'm not even sure I'm in the lead for that anymore.
true
Jere he was caught in the game but not in my heart, of which he stole.
ish I was trying to pick you up. go get em buddy.
Jere he was caught in the game but not in my heart, of which he stole.
Say goodbye to that thing. He can walk faster than you can run.
HGHBP.
Probably a first that the 201 message was shouting someone else's name
I'm surprised there hasn't been some kind of baseball romantic comedy using a title with Caught Stealing and Stealing My Heart or something.
Seriously the rays have not had to go up against the best team in baseball since they went on that big run to the top. Welcome to your glass ceiling boys.
Manny DC, that's just dumb. And also stupid.
Probably a first that the 201 message was shouting someone else's name
And by somebody else, I mean in here.
I'm surprised there hasn't been some kind of baseball romantic comedy using a title with Caught Stealing and Stealing My Heart or something.
Yeah, the best they could come up with was Fever Pitch.
yeah caught stealing would be awesome. Stealing Home? Double Steal? which would be the sequel.
Suicide Squeeze?
yeah but that was the original soccer-y title anyway. Well, I guess, "sports"-y title.
can't seem to copy it, but great mencken quote here
the great ish who quotes himself. awesome.
Dave O'Brien using this rather boring point of the ballgame to ramble on about the Celtics.
Not that I mind or anything.
the great ish who quotes himself. awesome.
I do it all.
Daily Kos:
'McCain's entire speech, short version:
My fellow Americans, please pay attention to me. Please, please, please. I'm giving this speech because I think I deserve some attention tonight too. I'm not really like Bush. I like horses just fine. I can talk in complete sentences.
Sweet Jesus, just give me a little air time here. I'm begging you.'
double play baby lets do it!
Suicide Squeeze?
Or you could have a real scandelous flick, or a horror film called Caught Stealing Dongs.
Molina DP.

Remy was just saying how the crowd was "Beat LA"-ing. Is that why Dave started Celts talk?
I just stuffed meatballs with a chunk of cheddar and sauteed them in wine and now they are broiling to finish them off. what do you think?
McCain: Trust me, I will choose a Vice President who doesn't shoot people in their faces. Please please please pay attention!
Remy was just saying how the crowd was "Beat LA"-ing. Is that why Dave started Celts talk?
Actually, yes. I think so.
i'd hit one of those meatballs.
FY SHIFT!!!!!
lol Pedroia
What a cool play. And we're out of it.
RF FY > PENA
FUCK YEAH
I will take a picture of them before and after i cut one in half to let the good times pour out onto my plate.
Andy should've gone with tofu.
Whenever MDC pitches, my first thought is STILL "What is Marty Barrett doing on the mound?"
I wouldn't eat that meatball if it was deep-fried in chocolate sauce...
i find it amazing that people still think of mccain as a straight talker. fucking guy flip-flops on everything as often as lyndon steals a base. but the media has a huge crush on him and looks the other way.
(why am i talking about this?)
Glover and Special Saucer
Because the fate of the world is tied to the fate of America, whether you like it or not, you traitor bastard. :-p
Whats wrong with my meatball?
I should say that eating red meat is usually not my thing. Buttt I wanted to try doing this. Probably should have done ground turkey.
Red Sox, once again, hit the 1,000,000 attendance mark faster than any Sox team before them.
Those extra seats help.
nothing against your meatball personally, I just don't eat meat. You did ask.
by the way: I have no problem with candidates changing their mind.
It was the republicans who made the 'flip flop' an issue by their insistence on it in 2004 as the central theme of the campaign.
'he may be consistently stupid, but gosh darn it, he's consistent! except when he's not'
Yeah Hat Country Man!!!
Amurca Fuck Yeah!!!
Red Sox, once again, hit the 1,000,000 attendance mark faster than any Sox team before them.
remember when idiots said people would stop caring if they ever won a WS?
I wish I could go meat free. I just don't know how to do that nutritionally.
Amurca Fuck Yeah!!!
Comin again to save the mother fuckin day yeah
"remember when idiots said people would stop caring if they ever won a WS?"
I can't answer that, I "lost my identity."
at the USA vs. Panama soccer game, the US supporters section sang part of "America, Fuck Yeah"
along with chanting 'Shorttttttt-cut, Shortttt-cut' at panama
I should say that eating red meat is usually not my thing. Buttt I wanted to try doing this. Probably should have done ground turkey.
I squish my balls into little patties, so they cook thoroughly and quickly. And I use ground pork and bread crumbs with parmesan cheese and garlic, basil and a oregano.
Nutrition's the easiest part of it.
that was a fun day
awwwww manny
"Shortcut"'s a canal joke?
Because the fate of the world is tied to the fate of America, whether you like it or not, you traitor bastard. :-p
Right. I forgot.
Changing yourmind is one thing. Changing your mind back and forth and back and forth depending on the day and who you are talking to is another.
And then packaging yourself as someone who doesn't do that is yet another. But as long as the media covers for you, you can get away with it.
I ate meat almost exclusively--then on Jan 1st, 2000, having no idea how to pull it off, I stopped, cold tofurkey. And I've made it 8 yrs. Worked for me, but everybody's different.
"Shortcut"'s a canal joke?
Yes. also, there was a song along those lines
Forget "great for baseball," Remy, I'm just glad to see TWO teams WAY ahead of the Yanks.
Beat you by four years, Jere.
me > you.
I squish my balls into little patties, so they cook thoroughly and quickly.
That's hot.
So our initial meat non-eating dates sandwich the Yanks' last dynasty. So if we continue like this, they shouldn't win a WS ever again.
A, I'm glad you said that to mine rather than to when Andy said, "I will take a picture of them before and after i cut one in half to let the good times pour out onto my plate."
jesus fucking christ on a mother fucking cracker, terry mcaullife just introduced hillary as the 'next president of the united states'
So our initial meat non-eating dates sandwich the Yanks' last dynasty. So if we continue like this, they shouldn't win a WS ever again.
I'm going to continue to eat meat so I don't jinx any of that.
Bags full of BJs in the Bronx
Man, L would totally tell you guys to STFU about the election if she was here!
jesus fucking christ on a mother fucking cracker, terry mcaullife just introduced hillary as the 'next president of the united states
LMAO. Right. And I'm David Ortiz's flappy wrist sheath.
classy so far by hillary, congratulating obama supporters for 'all that they accomplished'
It's time to revamp my dungeon idea. If a pitcher comes in with a lead and walks the first guy, he goes to the dungeon. That'll stop the walks.
Man, L would totally tell you guys to STFU about the election if she was here!
I guess that's why we're talking about it now.
It's a good thing L isn't here.
Not that I don't enjoy her company, i'm jus' sayin.
Do you want me to stop? 'cause i will. No big.
That and because of Obama's clinching.
I didn't mean "revamp." I meant, uh, say again. But I should revamp it to include more painful devices!
Yanks walk in a run...
hansen coming in to give these rays what for.
BBBB. 4-2 BB.
fuckin' lopez.
Heh, saw the double, thought "oh shit", then noticed I still had the Jays loaded on GDGD. 6-2.
Castig was talking about Hinske and then Gomes, and then said "So the call has been made to Eric Hansen..."
What do you guys think of the inherited runners rule? How the inherited runners are charged to the previous pitcher? Would it get too complicated if a pitcher was charged half a run for each inherited runner who scores?
shit. come on hansen.
6-2 Jays!
I think we need to popularize the stat 'inherited runners scoring percentage,' and keep charging the runs to the previous pitcher
I wish they could show this stuff on TV.
Oh boy. Hooligans on the field.
Castig: "And we have a little disturbance here... some knucklehead runs onto the field. They'll take care of him in a hurry."
I love how Castig always sounds personally insulted when someone runs onto the field.
fans on field! I was gonna go tonight to see return of Manny, and the whole time I've been thinking, Well, I didn't miss anything super-crazy. And now it turns out to be a fan-on-field night!
Hillary's proud that she and her supporters "stayed the course together". She's completely tonedeaf.
I wish they could show this stuff on TV.
You know how they don't show it on TV? So other people wouldn't be encouraged? Bullshit. They don't show it because of what the security guards do to the guy when they catch him.
nah, whatever.
some people at work asked me awhile back what i thought of the campaign -- obama's chances etc. i'm usually pretty quiet at work, but i launched into a whole thing about the system being totally broken and unfixable and so easy to rig.
i ended up saying that i think the system is as legit as professional wrestling. i can't take it seriously.
they haven't asked my opinion about it since!
but you guys, yeah, go right ahead!
in the past, it seems like every game i went to was 'guy on the field night,' but it hasn't happened the last 2+ years that i've been to games
fair enough, redsock. I don't think it's rigged, unless you count 'idiotic, easy to influence voters' as 'rigged.'
Yeah but if you come in and give up a ground out and a run scores, you really did nothing wrong. Essentially.
Hillary sounds pretty good when she's not busy attacking Obama.
8-2 Toronto
'i want the 18 million americans who voted for me to heard and no longer be invisible'
but it's okay for the people who voted for edwards, kucinich, dodd, or richardson to be invisible. eh?
I love how the Jays are taking a big fat shit on Joba's big day.
woooo toronto
My pal Grant is going to The Toilet tomorrow night to the MFY-Toronto game.
FKRs Mmmmbopped.
Hillary sounds pretty good when she's not busy attacking Obama.
I'm looking at this guy behind her who, when it's time to applause, waves a tiny american flag with his flabby arms and does that whole blind rage guy thing. WOOOO!!! WOOOOOOOOO!!! Like Manny just hit a walk-off home run.
CRAIG HANSEN, FUCK YEAH!
HAHAHA ish
'i want the 18 million americans who voted for me to heard and no longer be invisible'
That reminds me of when Bush said "It's not easy to put food on your family" or something to that effect.
hahahaha. 'food on your family,' an all time classic.
The guy up and to the right looks like he keeps searching the crowd for the bear that'll step out and maul him.
Guy on the upper left looks like her husband forty years ago with a worse haircut.
Oh god! That building has the highest flabby flapping arms per capita than anywhere in the world right now.
Upton looks mean. That makes me sad.
BBB - 101 100 6
MFY - 200 000
Still only two outs.
Part of me is saying "save some runs for the rest of the series, Blue Jays." But the part of me that's saying "PILE IT ON" just kicked the crap out of the first part.
9-2
WOOHOO NO DECISIONS TONIGHT!
teeter teeter teeter CLAPCLAPCLAPCLAPCLAP.
Rios ends the inning. He keeps doing that.
Oh here we go.
"The question is, where do we go from here?"
Oh god.
"This has been a long campaign, and I am making no decisions tonight."
More flapping flabby arms.
makin me sick
Meanwhile, back at the ranch... NICE catch by Iwamura.
Do YOU know the Snuffin' Man?
she's going back and forth between the 'it's over' and the 'it's not over' themes. jeeez
the snuffin man?
The snuffin' man.
I love how she speaks so slowly like everyone there is old and can't hear her. Or they're all stupid.
Do you know the snuffin man
And by there is old, I meant they are old.
Yep. Bot, Snuffer, Snuffin' Man.
Who sticks his boot up your ass?
Papelbon just stuck his boot in Iwamura's ass.
rigged:
yeah, i think i told them they stole 2000, 2004 was obviously fraudulent with mountains if evidence (not to mention weird shit in the midterms of 2002 and 2006) and it's only gotten worse fo 2008 -- with the dems' help (or inaction), of course.
ymmv.
Swing on that.
He lives on something Lane.
I am here for the last two outs. Another game missed because of social obligations.
But we are winning!
I think I said something like, who lives in Fenway Park.
Toronto pitcher just bought a ticket to my would-be dungeon.
1 more!
Whose boot lives up your ass?
Toronto pitcher just bought a ticket to my would-be dungeon.
Sounds like something Andy would say.
Up2000lbs up.
I think Bush et al cheated in 00 but I don't think the 'system itself' is rigged.
anyway
who cares?
pap!
high-flying rays run right into the red brick walls of fenway.
My dungeon's for pain, Andy's is for pleasure. And pain.
What dungeon do you send the dungeon denizens to when they walk a second batter?
Gitmo
you've been ........
THUNDERSTRUCK!
DIRRRRRRRRRRRRRRTY WAAAAAAAATERRRRR
g'night DEVIL Rays
dirty water
SNUFFED.
Why Gitmo when we have fucking prison ships?
FUCK YOU YOU FUCKING WATER
We win!
They go to the dungeon after their outing. Depending on how many walks, that's how much Alberto Gonzalezing they get.
Thank you Rays. It's been fun. See ya tomorrow. Enjoy the dirty water.
22-5 at home
Randy Johnson's passed TCM on the all-time K list. This night gets even better.

Waldman: Starting pitchers were doing batting practice and you know who is a good hitter? Mike Mussina. Want to know who's not a good hitter? Chien-Ming Wang.
Sterling and Waldman are talking about a pitcher from Kensington, CT, who's in Yankee Stadium for the first time in his life. Suzyn asks the producer whether he grew up as a Yankees fan or a Mets fan. "Oh, he grew up a Red Sox fan."
Protestant Birds striving to give it away, though.

The Bot was quite unemotional tonight , Tek even rubbed his shoulder in way to ask is everything allright.....
Masterson is funny shit.
And the return of on-fire.....
I believe the Rays have a better shot of winning the east than Obamba winning the election.....I could careless either way, just an opinion...
Jere no-meat, are you a vegeterian or a vegan...The vegan thing , I never quite understood.....Like I never understood goth either.
Andy your balls sound great can't wait to see the pic......I just hope the hype isn't better than the real thing...

Thaaaaaaaaaaa Yankees Lose.
MLB says the Jays won, 9-3. But ESPN Gamecast is showing Damon scoring on a wild pitch to make it 9-4, with A-Rod up and two outs in the 9th.

Pedro gets an rbi single. Too bad he never managed an rbi in interleague play.
It's officially LPY again.
9casey, to answer your I'm a vegetarian. But I do understand veganism.
I will email the pics to allan today.
This was my first time making these so I overcooked them which is a symptom of me losing my thermometer.
I made them too big and a lot of the cheese was able to escape. MY next outing will feature a garlic clove in the middle with some kind of cheese shredded and mixed in with the meat.
Make sure you roast the garlic clove first or bake the entire meatball at low heat for a couple of hours..
