Angels - 002 200 200 - 6 7 0Lackey was two outs away from a no-hitter -- it would have been the first no-no against the Red Sox at Fenway Park since July 20, 1958 -- but Dustin Pedroia singled cleanly through the shortstop hole into left and Kevin Youkilis followed with a home run off one of the signs above the Monster Seats.
Red Sox - 000 000 002 - 2 2 1
Tampa (Garza: 9-5-0-1-5, 106) shutout Toronto 3-0 to drop us 2 GB. Baltimore held on to beat New York 7-6, so the Yankees are 4 GB.

John Lackey (3.02, 138 ERA+) / Clay Buchholz (5.81, 75 ERA+)
In three starts (15 innings) since coming back from the disabled list, Buchholz has a 6.60 ERA and has allowed opponents to hit .328/.403/.557, yet he remains confident:
I'm feeling good and healthy and I feel like the mechanics side of my game has come around. ... The biggest thing for me, when I get in a little bit of trouble, is not going out there and letting it unfold. I've got to minimize the damage.Lackey has also been struggling lately:
GS IP H BB K ERA AVG OBP SLGA pitcher's record is of minimal value in judging his performance, but this is still neat: Jon Lester has begun his career with a 20-5 record and is the first Sox pitcher to be credited with 20 wins in his first 25 decisions -- Tex Hughson (1941-42) and Boo Ferriss (1945) each began 20-6.

«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 400 of 428 Newer› Newest»Tim, does your grandmother spell better in a different language?
Sounds like a suave guy. Beer come with a back message?
I'd love a back massage right about now.
And five runs.
Rule Of Breaks:
Bathroom - between innings
Booze - anytime you need
OH MY GAWD!!!! DID YOU SEE JOHN LACKEY'S THROWING A NO HITTER????!!1!
Hey, I got 201. Not that it matters...
WTF, where did this triple come from?
I'm worried my other nut might shatter.
Hey now! (hey now!)
Hey now! (hey now!)
Aiko aiko all day
Jockamo feeno na na nay
Jockamo feena nay
I'd love a back massage right about now.
And five runs.
Right now I'd take five runs. Over the massage. And my back actually hurts.
Uh oh, Hansen coming in.
Oh thank god Hansen's coming in. At least I know we are giving up.
I'd like to stage a small vote:
At this point in HH's career, are you glad he threw a no-hitter?
How about Lester?
L was talking to Niece #1 -- and has an interview to do at 9. She is *not* happy with the no-hitter.
"I didn't hear much yelling down here. [see score on TV] Oh, that's why. Sigh."
"We don't have a hit yet."
"WE DON'T HAVE A HIT?!?!?!?!?"
Oh thank god Hansen's coming in. At least I know we are giving up.
At least if your other nut shatters you won't have to worry about underage girl avatars anymore.
Yeah, both sets of grandparents are from Poland. The one side is better with English than the other, though.
Considering I don't understand that language, I'm assuming that yes she probably does spell better in Polish.
Bathroom - between innings
Booze - anytime you need
I go by those rules when I'm in the living room, which is adjacent to the source of all booze, but when I've been relegated to the back room, I do all breaks between innings.
Unless the beer just shows up. That was seriously cool.
Heh, I went to the doctor regarding back pain today and was prescribed to see an RMT.
I'm looking forward to it.
Well, if HH didn't throw that no hitter maybe he would've gotten a lower profile girlfriend. More of a home townie type that would make him chicken soup and playfully make fun of him.
So I vote that I wish he hadn't, for the sake of the butterfly effect.
I need dinner advice. After yesterday's thread I'm leaning toward getting a pita...but also thinking Thai.
lester got his head out of his ass as a pitcher -- i may be crazy, but i think hansen can too.
At least if your other nut shatters you won't have to worry about underage girl avatars anymore.
True. I was worried Sosock wouldn't spare me and send me to the cops, but rather deal with me himself. Wouldn't have been pretty.
Hansen the Barber!!!
RMT = registered massage therapist??
Polish does seem like one hard language to learn. I wouldn't question their spelling of Polish. All those consonants.
Laura is lucky to be missing this game.
Remember how happy we all were on Saturday?
I wish I lived in a country where I could just go to doctors. Especially ones who prescribe massage.
I mean Sunday.
I hate the no editing on blogger. Boo.
A pita with what?
My vote is for thai.
I was hoping you meant Sunday, Amy, because I remember exactly how happy I was Saturday, and I'd just as soon not.
5-0. We're boned.
I wish I lived in a country where I could just go to doctors. Especially ones who prescribe massage.
being chronically sick with Lyme disease I get indignant about that very very often.
Correct on the RMT.
I'm gonna go with the thai/vietnamiese. Pitas more a lunchy type meal to me.
I think it would've been chicken something - souvlaki or ceasar...hmmm tomorrow maybe
I wish I lived in a country where I could just go to doctors. Especially ones who prescribe massage.
They hand penicilin out like candy here.
Nice!
Figgins feels bad for us. I don't blame him.
Another run we need to make up. Ugh.
oooooo, tappen time!
I'm up for being teased by a few dongs. Long majestic ones...
I'm playing some rally music.
Quiet Riot.
Ouch, Lyme disease. That's awful, Patrick. Lots of ticks down here on the Cape----though we have only seen dog ticks, not deer ticks.
I'd like a dong tick right about now.
All ticks can have lyme or other disease. Be warned.
"21 minute wait"
DRINK
and I shall............
Well, that was definitely a tease...
I'd like 5 dongs. NOW.
Shit, almost.
Our dog gets a vaccine against Lyme---I don't know why they can't develop one for people if they have one for dogs....
Quiet Riot is not helping.
serious boos for mbm.
Manny getting booed---looks like he could have beaten it out with more hustle.
serious boos for mbm.
Wow. Had it on mute.
If you boo Manny tonight, you damn well better boo Lowell.
My mojo isn't working either. Damn, we have to get those hits in the 8th.
Manny's getting booed because those booing fans are TOOLS. They should STFU and stop believing everything they read.
Although Lowell hustled.
In a sports town, you have to remember that it, whatever IT may be, doesn't mean anything unless you produce.
Manny hits like Manny can hit, on any given night, he won't get booed, no matter what the papers write.
It's like Gammons is the Sith Lord and he's swaying more and more senators under his evil influence.
Where's the Jedi?!
Some players with tricky hammies, if they sprint like a mf-er, they'll blow it out. We've seen it before. If Manny blows it out and singles, great, but we will still likely lose. And then he's out of action.
No Jedi, but there is a Jeemer.
shit! I thought it was 5-0. I look at the score, dammit.
This blows. Hit(s) please, sox
Me, too, Ish. Where the hell did the 6th run just come from? How did I miss that?
marte just gave up a bases loaded/bases clearing double to huff, hahahaha! LEFTY SPECIALIST
Drew can swing, but I wanna see Tek or Cora lay down a MOTHERFUCKING BUNT!!!!!!
Unwritten rules, my fucking ass!
Hits, then Runs.
Alright, order is in!
BBQ Pork with rice noodle soup
Stir fried eggplant and tofu in thai sauce
and Spicy noodles (feat seafood/chicken)
FUCKIN HITS PLEASE!
YANKEE STADIUM BOOING MARTE HAS HE GIVES UP ANOTHER DOUBLE, 4 RUNS WITHOUT AN OUT!
I love when Sweet Caroline stops just at the right moment, so that people sing the next few parts of it w/o musical accompaniment. It makes it sound like an EPL game @ Fenway
Signing off here...for now....prob for the rest of this game.
Huff - Masturbators rule.
DAMASO GAGNE!
YANKEE STADIUM BOOING MARTE HAS HE GIVES UP ANOTHER DOUBLE, 4 RUNS WITHOUT AN OUT!
Well, he's no Josh Hamilton.
It'll be ironic when Tek gets our first hit.
Swing RH, you cooked capt.
I am starting to question my ability to break up this no hitter. But I am hoping like hell Tek does it now.
Captain Suck. why aren't you running down the line? BOOOOO BOOOOOOO
Irony is dead.
I don't want to see anyone jumping up and down on our field . Come on Cora.
Happy eating, Tim. At least that part of your evening sounds good. This game sucks.
I like to see about 10 fans run onto the field.
TB 3-0
BAL 6-1
BOT in!
OK still here. just had to surrender the laptop.
I should've held off on ordering the food. Fuck.
LBJ better fucking well lay one down to break this shit up.
So we are giving Pap some practice? Or we really think we will score 6 in the bottom of the 9th?
MOTHER.........FUCKER.
don said he had not worked in 6 days. 23rd.
Robb.
bot should be able to go tomorrow, then thursday is an off day
So I am going to Oregon, and have these tickets to get rid of.
Sept 10th, 7:05PM against the Rays which is a wednesday. Amy, you still interested?
Wow, I can't believe the Red Sox are being no hit. Fuck, a no-hitter, seriously? John Lackey throwing a goddamn no-hitter. I thought no-hitters were reserved for the likes of Clay Buchholz, who threw a no-hitter, and Jon Lester, who also threw a no-hitter. And that no-hitter was this year! Lackey is gonna throw the third no-hitter in Fenway within the past year, wow. Three no-hitters in hitter-friendly-shouldn't-be-a-no-hitter Fenway. No-hitter, no-hitter, no-hitter.
Read this on another chat...
"Giambi just hit a single into right field that due to the shift was almost caught by Brian Roberts. Giambi proceeded to give Roberts the finger while running to first base. Priceless!"
i cant believe this shit. this will be the low point of the season... besides not being able to score with the bases loaded, no outs at the stadium. at least we had a chance then. we were even using words like "inevitable", now were using words like "pathertic".
Or we really think we will score 6 in the bottom of the 9th?
No...7
pathetic, rather. but you knew that.
All it takes is one base knock to get things going...
I can't use them myself, Patrick, because I will be teaching on Wednesday nights. But maybe my daughter will want them. How much are they, and how many do you have? I could get them for her birthday, which is September 7.
Imagine if Manny flipped the bird during a game.
But the admitted (white) steroid abuser -- no problem.
Fuck. I want to see this shit, but the damn food is gonna be ready for pickup soon. Fuck fuckity fuck fuck fuck. Oh well, if it happens I guess I can just youtube the pain later.

I got a pair, and I'll sell them at face value. The tickets say 28$ on them.
Imagine if Manny flipped the bird during a game.
The space-time-media continuum would collapse.
Wait, did I mention he's throwing a no hitter?
ehh, we lose this game, we got totally shut down. 3 hits or 0 hits -- whatever.
the other game feels lower.
hit a ball right to lackey's balls, so he will then... lack balls.
Thus began the mid summer miracle...
Let me check and get back to you. Is there a way I can email you or contact you after the game (which hopefully will not be in ten minutes)?
Watermelon break. Went out to the picnic table with the world's greatest granddaughter and ate about half of a basketball sized melon all by our lonesomes.
And the game has only gtten worse since we left.
crap
Patrick, if Amy can't use them, I'd be happy to have them as well. I'd love to take my brother to a game once he moves up there.
Arrrrrrrrrrrrrgh. Epic fail on the food ordering. Gotta go pick it up now, I want it to be hot!
Hopefully I'll be back by the time Frod is coming in to try and protect the 6-3 lead, right before the grand slam gets crushed for a 7-6 win.

multiple amy "putz" posts!!
i like it.
Damn. That was close to falling.
Help me Manny Being Manny. You're my only hope.
Conflicting edits.
I hate losing also, but at least we weren't no hit or shut out. I am grateful for small things.
If Manny really cared about this team, he'd score five runs here.
Yeah, I got those conflicting edits also. WTF is that?
MANNY CHANT!!! I LOVE IT!
They boo, then they chant his name.
So I got teased by a dong. I like it.
Wow, that post came out THREE times. Weird.
A walk. Tying run somewhere in the dugout.
C'mon, just seven more consecutive walks.
Doctor: "Lackey, this may hurt a little bit."
Lowell strikeout coming up...
Shitty.
WE NEED TO AVOID THE SWEEP.
Efff

Cock burgers. The water is clean.
Ech, we lose.
SHIT.
Can the Jays get 3 in the bottom of the 9th?
On to BuffyVision!!!!!!!
At least the MFYs are losing tonight. FKR aren't complying.
Lame
I hate clean water.
Those petro-chem companies have got the right idea.

Nope, bluebirds lose.

Lose first two to New York, win the third game... Lose first two to LA... and here we are just hoping to avoid the sweep. With Mark Texiera likely in the lineup tomorrow for them.
Not sure what it is about the Red Sox these days. They just don't seem to have that professional feel about them. Nor do they seem to have much energy.
And I'm wondering if Theo has any testicles. Whether they're necessary or not. Whether a move is needed or just wanted.
Cabrera hits A-rod and gets ejected. Any backstory?
This amused me so much that I am totally going to steal it for a blog post title, if you don't mind.
Heh. Have at it.
Jays Suck.
I think we will start to crank out wins after the trade dead line is done and all the Manny crap has been squashed.
I did not, but I shall scroll back and find it. I'm simsarah at gmail dot com.
And I'm wondering if Theo has any testicles.
He proved he did in 2004 with the Nomar trade. :/
Cabrera hits A-rod and gets ejected. Any backstory?
Could it have had something to do with Giambi's bird flipping? Who knows.

cano ground ball to CF.
CF gets it, 1 run scores, CF farts around getting the ball in as arod stops at third -- and then slappy sprints home. no play.
WTF SHATNER???????????????????

Betemit K. One out.
Line drive to CF -- nearly over Jones's head. He leaps abd gets it --6-3.
Xavier Roberts K. End of inning.
I love this song and maybe you will too?
Nady - welcome to the REAL league.
Pretty sad - actually following the MFY on GDGD just to get a little swatch of something good happening in the world of baseball.

I took the local half of the Rhode Island bar exam today. In a room with 208 takers, there were a dozen Papi shirts, one Papi shirt, one Rondo shirt, a smattering of generic Red Sox shirts, and one lone Fruitbat shirt.
Looks like I picked a good game to miss. I had two phone calls, one with one of the brilliant and beautiful nieces, one for an interview.
I came downstairs for updates, but they were grim. Then in the middle of the interview I heard Allan shout, so I knew we broke up the no-no.
Ok, let's make *this* the low point of the season.
