Rays - 010 000 000 - 1 9 0The Red Sox complete a sweep of Tampa -- and take a 1.5-game lead in the East -- with an easy win highlighted by a 15-minute second-inning brawl.
Red Sox - 310 300 00x - 7 8 1
Shields hit Coco Crisp in the front thigh to lead off the second. Coco took one step towards first, then charged the mound. Unlike most baseball "fights", this one featured real and repeated punches. Crisp and Shields were ejected, as was Jonny Gomes, who was on top of the pile hammering punches down on Crisp (and a few on his own teammates). (Carl Crawford should have been ejected for the same activity.)
Manny Ramirez belted a three-run dong over everything in left in the first and then drove in two more runs with a bases-loaded single in the fourth. Lester's outing was walk-free (6.1-8-1-0-5, 108) and Mike Timlin and David Aarsdma finished up.
One broadcast note: When Kevin Youkilis (who went to right field when Jacoby Ellsbury was pulled after hurting his right wrist on a diving catch in the fourth) was plunked by Al Reyes in the eighth, Joe Magraine (FSN Tampa) said, with his voice dripping with sarcasm: "What a shame."
Youkilis had not done anything noteworthy in the game. Apparently, Magraine doesn't like how Yook complains on called strikes -- which is odd, since Magraine himself was groaning loudly tonight on several close pitches that were not called strikes on Red Sox hitters. It clearly made his night that a Red Sox hitter had been drilled -- and he was happy to share his glee. Classy guy.

«Oldest ‹Older 401 – 596 of 596.I just like going to religious services, but not for too long. I get bored. And I get bored 5 minutes into Catholic mass.
I love how you can watch those on TV.
That's how I felt about mass - exotic.
holy fuck! just looked at Extra Bases, this looks crazy!
ok seriously WHAT THE FUCK MLB.TV - FORCED COMMERCIALS AGAIN?!?!?!? FUCK YOU
I can't even be Buddhist. I just have no spirituality.
No co-ed housing on campus.
Freshman and sophomore year is the traditional dorm type thing, junior/senior years are apartment/suite style. I am low on the housing lottery totem pole, so my accomodations are less than ideal. But there's no 'bad' housing at BC, it's all pretty good... as residence halls go.
Ish with 401 - with a real post.
attaway, yeller!
Tim, Allan told me you bailed on wmtc3 this weekend, you creep!
so like, we'll have a few bedrooms, a half-kitchen, a bathroom, and a common area.
Ish with 401 - with a real post.
We've been over this already, that we wouldn't be doing any of that non-real posts anymore for those. Yes, a real post. Woo hoo.
The funny thing, Laura, is I know so many people involved with Judaism (and other faiths) who are atheists. I consider myself agnostic, but willing to find something spiritual in the rituals and services when my mind and heart are open to it. I certainly do not believe in a God as a superpower looking down on us and answering prayers. For me, it is about the spiritual forces within us as humans and the struggle for hope and faith in human beings. Although my sense of connection ebbs and flows, when it is there, I do find that the rituals and services can bring that sense of spiritual connection.
I've seen a Latin mass, which I thought was also exotic. But, eventually, boring.
Oh sorry Ish, I haven't been gamethreading too much, I think I missed that memo.
staats says manny has 503 long balls in "the home run derby"
oooo-kay
I tend to get bored easily by any non-sports-related or non-book-related activity. Maybe that's why I had no friends when I was 10.
Tim, were your ears ringing? We were talking about you, and I was bemoaning your absence.
I like how membership in a church can be like a community, with day-care, people helping one another out when they're in need, stuff like that. But more often than not that stuff is there as a way to 'buy' people's souls for Jeebus. It's a real turn off.
Let's go Manny - make up for your moment of madness
Also, depending on the timing of a JOS game, if it works out, its possible I could secure the time at the family Lake house, which would be about hr from fenway. That of course would be cheaper than even the < 60. Of course that would depend on the timing.
5 bedrooms and two full baths right on the lake.
A good outing by Lester!!!
I certainly do not believe in a God as a superpower looking down on us and answering prayers.
I'd say I'm right with you with that entire post. Can't really add much more to that.
No co-ed housing? Sheesh, that's right out of the 1950s! I guess not surprising, given the Jesuit history, but still sort of surprising in 2008.
jos slumber party at s1c's
what else can go wrong tonight?
Amy, yes, I know what you mean. I just feel no spiritual connection, and observing the religion without that felt very empty and false to me.
I know many people who enjoy being culturally Jewish without the religious part, and I think it's great if it works for you - but it doesn't for me.
Being Jewish is my ethnicity, my birthright, but not my community. I find the Jewish-community thing stifling.
My true community is progressive activism.
And the Red Sox of course.
Oh cock. Manny's hurt now. Or, more hurt. Looks like he'll finish the AB, probably the game.

Thu Jun 05, 07:45:00 PM
Thank goodnesss ... we've got Youk in the outfield!
I see a lot of similarities between faith and sports, as far as community goes... which is probably why religion intrigues me so much.
pinch runner now
s1c, that would be amazing!!! What a party.
manny's like, nah
manny just tricking the rays before he steals 2nd.
yup, baseball is my only religion. the only thing i take on faith.
MBM is mincing his way to first and Francona is not going to pinch run for him?
Is he freaking nuts?
almost time for the drive to 17!!!
Not sure why they're chancing it with Manny. It's 7-1. You've got Cora and Cash still available. Take him out.
being a left wing atheist/jew/lapsed catholic party, we would have to bring lots of tofu and lattes. and car pool to and fro.
To me, the real tragic irony about religion is that despite the fact that at heart most religionsa are so similar and all stress the need for "brotherhood" and community, it is often religion that divides us and causes hatred, prejudice, and wars.
Francona says "Manny, go take a rest"
looke dlike manny was going to watch that 3-2 pitch no matter what. and wheeler couldn't get it over.
when cash PR for you ... yikes.
This is quite the eventful night.
This game might end up at aroudn 3:40
s1c, that would be amazing!!! What a party.
Would depend on the timing, as its owned by BH's family and like or six families use it. But if the timing is right, we could probably grab it for a couple of days.
Yeah, had a feeling Manny wasn't going to swing. He could have underhanded it in there.
Thank Yahweh this game started at 6
Moss man probably coming up during the Coco suspension.
religion as nationalism. very dangerous and harmful.
All these injuries...it makes me realize how lucky we were last season.
I'm off to the living room where there are two TVs. Enjoy the rest of the game, everyone! I might be back here in the second half of the C's game if people are here discussing it.
SASAHA
Moss man probably coming up during the Coco suspension
Depends on the timing, knowing Coco and the Sox, he will appeal which means the next visit to NY would be when the hearing would be and thats in July, I think.
there gose his 1.000 average
during the c's, i'll be here if others are, ish. or if L and RS are checking off, we could move the discussion over to the North Shore Navigators blog.
sasaha... can't quite get that last A. around his ass?
bye ish, enjoy the b-ball.
if L and RS are signing off*
shit around his ankles
in the latest fsn replay of the fight, a rays guy with a jacket on falls back out of the pile and his left show flies in the air. he grabs it and hops around, trying to get it back on, so he can start fighting again!
ankles! LOL
left show = left shoe
timmy mctimlin still in?
ankles -- and 3 feet outside.
would others be interested in me opening up a thread over at my blog for the celtics game?
His left show?
Sorry, Joe and Ish, not a basketball fan.
left shoe
OH shoe. Got it.
See you guys, later, C's are on and this game is in the bag.
Tim, Allan told me you bailed on wmtc3 this weekend, you creep!
Yeah, I'm a dooshe. What happened is, due to that little car accident last August, my car insurance wouldn't even get renewed. so after some searching I finally found a place that would insure me...but for twice the cost. So basically I'm working every weekend as well as some days during the week to be able to keep up the lavish lifestyle of driving a Toyota Matrix.
I suck, I'm sorry x 1,000,009 :(
i'm not really a basketball fan either, amy. i just wanna see boston win another title.
OK, so how can Cash be the DH if you cannot replace the DH during the game?
Wow Tim, that sucks. I'm sorry to hear that. Awful how the car accident ends up living on like that! As soon as you need the friggin insurance, the rates go way up.
you can do a DH for DH swap you just can't put the DH in the field...
for some reason
come on tim tim
Aha, silly rules.
Joe, I want Boston to win also. I just don't have what it takes to watch a whole game. I like the last five minutes of basketball.
I have what it takes to watch a whole big game, as long as i'm with other people and have distractions (got some work to do on the pc during the game)
Joe, I want Boston to win also. I just don't have what it takes to watch a whole game. I like the last five minutes of basketball.
Yeah, thats how I was...still am I guess. I'll throw on the game but do other stuff while its on, until it gets down to the end. Then I'll watch intently, if its close.
yes! i feel good about this one now
As soon as you need the friggin insurance, the rates go way up.
Yup. What the hell's the point of even having insurance if anytime you need it, they're going to stick it to you.
Oh well, still is probably cheaper than having to pay off the car that I totaled.
Tim, were your ears ringing? We were talking about you, and I was bemoaning your absence.
Ha, was just going to check the score until I saw the brawl(s)...then I just had to come in here.
So, what happened with the MBM-Yook fiasco?
totally responding to 1/2 hr old comments.
We lost our internet connex for a while. Anyone still here?
i had forgotten about the dugout fiasco. i bet yook won't be answering questions today.
FUCKING A. TB announcers:
Yook is hate.
What a shame.
Yeah, of course, I am here. The game isn't over, and it isn't midnight, so I am here. No basketball game can drag me away.
Oops, make that "Yook is hit".
What the hell's the point of even having insurance if anytime you need it, they're going to stick it to you.
What a racket.
We haven't heard any explanation as to why Manny went after Youk.
I will watch NESN after and see what Terry says.
and yook gets hit by al "i ruined nomar's career" reyes.
and migraine is happy because finally a sock got hit. what a shithead
Amy, I thought if everyone else left for the Celtics, you might get lonely and leave. :)
I wondered about the Youk is hate line, but figured you meant the TB announcers hate him.
Laura, I would rather talk to myself here about baseball than watch a basketball game (though I will turn it on after the post-game show just to be a good New Englander.)
yook got drilled? what happened?
One more injury for our team, and I may go to Mass with Joe and pray. :)
they clearly do not like yook.
migraine was ragging on him for "whining" about every called strike -- worth mentioning i suppose, but migraine himself was groaning on several balls that he thought were strikes to boston hitters, so ...
the doors are always open :p
Migraine. Uch, back to the glossary.
and why would they be cheering for yook getting hit? he hasn't done shit in this game.
but an announcer openly cheering an opposing player getting drilled. that's great. classy bunch in tampa.
So I go to the glossary (no small task since I have to go back to the JOS main page, link there, then return here) and Migraine isn't even there!
WHO IS MIGRAINE?
"Joe Migraine"?
gotta be there.
I wondered about the Youk is hate line, but figured you meant the TB announcers hate him.
typo :)
It was an unbelievable comment. Totally gratuitous, just wanting to see someone on the opposing team get hit.
I can't even be Buddhist. I just have no spirituality.
Just saw this comment, Laura. Don't you find something spiritual in your activism? For example, after the vote on the resisters' motion, wasn't there a sense of spiritual connection with all those people you shared those experiences and feelings with? To me, that's what I mean by spiritual: some sense of how we are all connected.
"Joe Migraine"?
gotta be there.
Perhaps I don't want to be!
Amy, maybe it would be easier to have another browser open to do things like that? I always have 3 or 4 open during game threads, to look stuff up, check my email, moderate wmtc, etc.
I just love how Remy says Aardsma.
Do we see a sixth HBP this inning?
Amy, absolutely not. I feel a deep connection, but I would not describe it as spiritual.
I have IE with tabs so I have several windows open at once. But I don't have the JOS main page open when I am threading. Not a big deal, but why not whine?
nice bare hand grab and throw from lugo
slugo!
Tamper anncr = Joe Magraine = Joe Migraine
Spelling might be a bit off, but that's the idear.
You mean "Tamper chancre".
ol' blinding headache thinks yook whines and cries about obvious called strikes.
tabs, windows, same idea. as long as you have multiple whatevers to use.
Maybe my definition of spiritual is too broad (or at least broader than yours is), but I know that those are the types of experiences I call "spiritual" because they draw out some common mission and sense of purpose and values in a group of people.
UGHHH come on aaaaa
Any links up yet with video of the fight and the dugout thing? I need a post game press conference link too. We don't get that kind of coverage in california.
BTW why did manny get angry with the sweat machine?
Do you guys get the NESN post game show? I guess not if you are hearing TB announcers. Do you want me to thread about what Francona says in the post-game show? Or are you signing off after the third out?
GDGD has video of the on-field brawl but not of the Manny/Youk fight.
Feel free, Amy.
Andy, I didn't know you were in CA.
I will post about it for anyone who wants to stick around. I just don't type as fast as others.
Dirty water after a dirty game.
And Water.
We don't get NESN post game no matter which broadcast we get. As soon as the game broadcast ends, it clicks off.
and the time of the game (according to me) is exactly 3:40 !!!!
Win
SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP!!!
I called it redsock
We don't know what happened w/ MBM and Sweaty McWhinyhead.
OK, since I think I am the only MA resident NOT watching the Celtics game, I will try and be the scribe.
So we are a game and half up, and another player down.
sweep! sweet!
GDGD agrees with me: 3:40
Oh, Joe's still here. He can post also, in case I miss something.
Don't sweat on my account, Amy. I'll find out through the usual methods.
See you all tomorrow!
Amy you Nailed it!!!
I'm here, but I have the C's on
So far lots of footage of brawls in general.
Just recapping. No intent to hit FY. Blahblahblah.
The rays wish they were relevant. The A's and the Ang's will be the west and wildcard. the rays will be eating shit in florida waiting for the real teams to show up for spring training.
Second inning. OBvious intent to hit Coco. You're supposed to hit him in the leg.
Surprised Coco went out since Shields did it the "right" way.
Here's Terry now.
ANother boring night at the ballpark.
LBJ: will be examined in the morning. Nothing more than day to day, they think. Hopeful that is all it is.
oh i thought jacoby strained his sprain
Called a strain (not a sprain), but examined more tomorrow.
Good news to hear that. Doesn't know what testing is planned.
Will send Carter back and bring Moss back.
We will see what the farm system is all about now. this is the moment for a lot of these guys. I think in all the confusion of injuries and ejections that we should bounce lugo and bring up lowrie. Who would notice?
Manny's hamstring: feeling it in the batters box. Limiting his stride on the bases. Will see how he is tomorrow. Maybe he can DH. He was optimistic. (Manny was).
Dugout: exchanging views on things, Lots of testosterone tonight. Sometimes those things happen. We'll get by that one. Everybody was fighting everybody.
Ooh sexy. lots of testosterone.
my bone is full of testosterone
Coco: will be a little stiff, but nothing blatant jumps out.
The brawl: It happens. Lots of bodies flying. We won the game.
No warnings before the game.
Thought Crawford was pretty aggressive out there. Umpires don't have eyes everywhere. THey handled it pretty well.
Was Youk upset about Manny? Wasn't that big a deal. We'll move on.
That;s it.
OK, that's what Terry said. Not much insight there.
I wanna see what the bitch rays have to say.
TC and other guy (??) say no big deal, don't worry about Youk and Manny.
TC?
"exchanging views"
!!!!!!!!!!
HEidi heading into the locker room soon for reactions. Sit tight, Joe and Andy!
TC: Tom Caron (NESN)
OTher guy: other announcer whose name escapes me. Perhaps that's Bailey?
Former player but just can't get his name. Brain dead.
you crucified it amy. good job.
Thanks, Andy. I see you caught up with the rest of the thread!
HEidi heading into the locker room soon for reactions. Sit tight, Joe and Andy!
:O
I bet Manny and Yook were discussing mccain vs. obama.
OTher guy: from Stanford maybe? Made some comment about Carter being a Stanford guy.
Someone please guess other guy's name.
Thought Crawford was pretty aggressive out there.
fuckin' a right.
Ross Perot
Love it, Joe. But which one is for McCain?
HEidi heading into the locker room soon for reactions.
I assume most of the reactions to Heidi will be positive.
Joe, turn on NESN and tell me the name of the other guy.
Driving me crazy. I wish TC would say his name.
McCain? Gotta be Yook. Curt been brainwashing him.
Coco coming on next. Anyone still here?
I am.
i haven't turned on mod yet!
More commercials, but I will post when they come back.
so is carter known as 'christ' for the time being?
Amy , thats Dave McCarty with TC
SoSHers have been saying very good things about Merloni.
I assume most of the reactions to Heidi will be positive.
A fair assumption.
I figure Yook would be the McCain guy.
Ococ on yet?
I favor "Christ" for Carter.
Wow, Gomes was pounding at him with that right hand.
this coco interview is awesome
this coco interview is awesome
not enuff info .. grrrr
Ccoc: I was up there to hit, I wasn't going to be scared. They just decided it was right to hit me. I charged the mound, after faking a run to first. People trying to scratch at my eyes like little girls. Pulling my hairs like little girls. (Coco grinning from ear to ear). Everybody tried to get their little blows in but they didn't really hit me hard. Big guy, Gomes, tried to come in,
Shields didn't try to hit me in the head. It is what it is, tit for tat. He put the knee down, I slid in hard, he hit me with the ball, and I went out.
Should baseball things be settled that way? Coco: it shouldnt be off the field. I don't want people to slash my tires. We aren't criminals.
How's that, Allan? Enough info?
Essentially, Coco loving it. Happy to settle it on the field, not off the field.
that was one of the best interviews ever
Next games with Tampa: June 30, July 1-2!
I missed some of what he said, but that's most of it.
I liked it. Probably see video somewhere online tomorrow.
Are we done here? :>)
Not that I'm rushing you!
9Casey, thanks, I love you. Yes, McCarty. You can be sure next time I will forget again.
This is my life now.
Captain and Mayor coming up next.
I am only here to serve so if all are done, I am done.
Casey (aka Bailey) stuff happened. Just taking care of business, just baseball. NOt sure aout Youk MBM.
Tek: You guys were privy to the replay more than we were. It is just part of the game.
Thanks for the commentary Amy, we've got the Celtcs back on here.
OK I am done!
SoSH says Don said Ococ's dad was a boxer!
Thanks Amy! Night all!
...
Go Celtics, I guess. :>)
Good night, everyone. I will be out of town the next two days for family stuff. So GO SOX!
Does anyone know why Manny and Youkilis were fighting?
gnight
It's funny, last night I was pissed at myself for not having gone to the game because I missed SOME DUDE RUNNING ON THE FIELD. I made up for that tonight! Holy shit!
(Coco was a boxer himself--going 19-1 in the ring.)
I was wondering if you were going to cover the draft at all?
I don't follow the draft at all, to be honest. Some Sox bloggers must, though. Maybe Over The Monster or SoSH.
Wow Jere, you picked some night to go. So glad you were there.
