Gotta love that mid-week day baseball.
beckett gets ahead of span 0-2, then gets squeezed and span walks.
wednesday = church lady (aka dale arnold) day.
hey twins, keep trying to run. we like the outs.
These Twins have been hailed as fundamentally sound with strong attention to detail. I haven't seen that too much this series.
I don't understand Beckett today. He goes to 0-2 counts then throws around the plate, like he wants them to chase three straight pitches, when he has the stuff to get in there and put them away in less pitches.
looks like i'll be employing the mute when nesn talks to various military people. i wonder how many of the troops at the game today will soon be dead or maimed or otherwise scarred for life.

Why do you doubt the mighty Varitek?
I saw the seats for soldiers day and thought of you and L. Had a little chuckle to myself.
Seems like Beckett is having trouble with his control. Just a little off, but a little can be a lot in this game.
i'll try to keep it to a minimum!
fuckin canadian.
Was that thunder? No, that was just the sound of a baseball getting a serious ass-kicking.
Heh, no worries about keeping it to a minimum. How do you like the hats?
what the fuck?!
STRIKEOUT!!!! YES!!!
It almost seems like after this game you'll hear about a nagging injury Josh has and ends up on the DL.
But otherwise, he just can't keep the ball down.
34 pitches - jeez
El Douqe's brother-from-another-mother... at least I'm assuming they have different mothers.
Arnold randomly was talking about SID numbers. Apparently Pedroia's 5'9" which is an SID number. Livan is 245 pounds or so, which is an SID number.
Oh look! A baseball game!
any word on jd drew?
don said he left last night's game with back stiffness.
Hi. I'm bummed to miss today's game. Part of the joys of my weekend schedule is getting to watch weekday day games, but this week I can't. Pfft.
What's a SID number?

Heh, well, the Red Sox won't pay for your vacation, no matter how nicely you ask them to. :P
What's a SID number?
No idea. I feel like I should know.
Jon Rish, who does score updates for the radio, said "Good news so far if you're a Yankees fan. They're up 1-0."
Cardinal sin of baseball broadcasting: Two guys talking at once while a play is going on.
Manny does not dive. But he can still catch the tough ones.
RAMIRWORTH!
MBM GG!
L is freaking out -- she got some great war resisters news, but can't share it quite yet!
you know timlin and the camo-crew is over the moon about the hats...
sure is nice to see how vets have to start their own organizations and have auctions and raise money for care for returning vets.
god forbid the pentagon spends some of the $12,000,000,000 it spends **every fucking week** in iraq supporting the troops.
FUCK.
shit, type a comment and miss tek's AB completely. i saw moss and thought they had changed the lineup order
That damn camera. Too bad they couldn't keep it from bobbing around in the wind.
pitch count ......... rising ......
What's a SID number?
No idea. I feel like I should know.
LOL
I AM HAPPY
More later! (For now, draw your own conclusions!)
hes got nothing today.
1 hour and only mid 3rd.
Heh, Bruins GM in the NESN booth.
Yep, Livan and Sindey looking like a couple of aces. sonofabitch
LETS GET RUNS!
lugo ate his spinach.
sox "got something going" (tm)
come on laser show.
worst cliche: "strapped them on"
that was ball 3
a run would not displease me
let allan be not displeased.
fuck.
3 runs would be nice too.
is it mummy time?
ASK AND YOU SHALL RECEIVE.
YEAH FUCK YOU LIVAN
and thusly he was not.
FOUR!
And he shall be levon
And he shall be a good manny
yesssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss.
What a perfect back-up Casey is...
i like this inning.
3-0 to tek!!!
boof up
TB: 000 0
NY: 100 0
Just popping by to say hi. Too nice out to watch the game inside, but following along when I can. GO SOX!
Good trivia: Only player to score 4 runs in an All Star Game?
Meanwhile,up in the Bronx, Sidney Ponson is acting like Aaron Small, who lives in my nighmares. As long as today is his last effective outing, I'm Ok with it...beat the Rays, Sidney, you fat scumbag...
trivia answer could be a twin; killebrew?
Beckett won't be in this game for too much longer. He'll be lucky to get through five.
Sidney Ponson is acting like Aaron Small
a rare sighting of "ponson" and "small" in the same sentence.
Beckett: 34-12-22 19 = 87
LUGO sparking the offense.
Ted Williams, 1946.
In 2003, the Red Sox had three players with double digit steals by the all-star break. Name those three.
damon, nomar, jackson?
maybe trot over jackson?
Pena Dong in NY 1-1
I'm confused who to root for in that series but a split and a win by us makes the most sense, yes?
FKR tie it up 1-1, top 6th
nah, if we can be 2 GB, i'm fine with ny being 6.5.
mummy, please.
damon, nomar, jackson?
Yep.
JUST missed the yellow line.
Jere's up that way.
on replay i am wring, wasnt even nnear the yellow line, BUT was near dong
fan did touch the ball. remy needs glasses.
mighty casey!!!!
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOF!!
livan came in with a .339 opp bat avg.
gives up 11 hits to 24 batters.
TEK MOG!!!1!!!!
TEK!!!!
2 more cold-blooded runs, pls
oh well. you knew lugo couldnt have 3 hits in one day.
that is stretching the bounds of possibility, i agree.
a fan touched that one, jerry.
anti-trupe on the camera there.
shit.
PEN JUST UP NOW -- AFTER 2 HITS???
WHY WAS THE PEN NOT UP TO START THE INNING?
fuck.
beckett out -- maybe they were up before. don implied they were not.
GOLD GLOVE!
MANNY -- gets the ball, spins and fires as cool as fuck ...
OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
6-5 game -- HUGE PLAY by Manny.
instead of 1/3 with 1 out
it's 1st with 2 outs!
lopez - boooooooooo!

stop being fancy
GODDAMN IT! just get the fucking batter.
THANK YOU.
sigh.
welcome to boston, asshole.
hey we got a runner in from 3rd with less than two outs!
TB: 000 001 00
NY: 100 000 0
wow - i think i'd rather spend a 5-hour car ride alone with michael kay than watch that nesn comedy all-stars.
Extra's looking promising NY. Now all we need is a brawl, 2 rain delays, someone to jump onto the net behind homeplate and delay the game for 30 minutes and a fan with cat-like reflexes to run onto the field and avoid security for 11 minutes.
hansen time.
switched over to cbc for war resisters news -- see l's blog for news -- following on gdgd now.
Uh oh.
just moss being kubel.
HANSEN - HEAD OUT OF ASS NOW!
MANNY!!! basket catch!
manny is crazy with that shit.
HANSEN = BALLS!
huge

mayor GR double. casey hitting over .370 now

:>)
nice hit tek, but it was kinda funny seeing him beg for it waving his hands, "NO CATCH!"
fucking yanks cant get the run in.
i cant believe its the 7th inning.
loaded for lyndon
that is the problem with the yanks.
they choke a lot.
4th hit for ellsworth!!!
fy with his 16 game hitting streak on the line
FUCK YEAGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!
FY 17

YOOK off the wall also -- double.

circle that, bert!
WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
talk about a crooked number.
god, do we suck
can't pitch
can't hit
can't field
we're doomed.
wow -- nice pick at 3B
casey: .374
Anyone have a theory why the team can't do this on the road? I mean, a line drive is a line drive. Makes no sense.
Take 8 of these runs and apply it to the stupid one-run road losses and you've got four more wins.
I know, I know....
yanks win.
Yankees beat the Rays in 10... So, they're only 6.5 back of Tampa.
So, the Sox will be 2 GB.
Yankees just beat the Rays in the 10th...that's a 3 game pick-up in 3 days. Pretty good, given all th crap that went before...
7 runs scored to go up by 9 in the 7th and then Hansen walks the first batter. Not sure if it gets more frustrating than that, relatively speaking of course.
i dont know...i still dont like the yanks winning.
i think i'm going to have to pull the plug on the thread before the game is over.
laura has a war resisters meeting and she is dropping me off early for an overnight sleep study i am doing/having. plus the food we were going to grill was spoiled so we have to leave early and get something out.
no worries, have a good day/night.
not gone yet, though!
fucking cano dumped the gatorade jug on abreu after he hit the game winning double.....lets all calm down, oh team down 6.5

Thank you Time Warner Cable for cutting into the Red Sox broadcast for the Emergency Alert System announcing thunderstorms 50 MILES AWAY FROM HERE that are NOT COMING THIS WAY. You're performing an important public service.
Pricks.
I even missed the replay of that dong. Thanks to the radio or else I wouldn't have known it happened.
OUT OF HAND!
SAVE SOME FOR THE O'S!!!!!!!!!!
That Sox Appeal commercial is hilarious. The addition of Don and Jerry into the commercial calling the date was fantastic.
Timlin Proof!
Hey, my work network decided to unblock blogger.com in the bottom of the ninth. Been watching this since the 3-0 start: what a journey.
MUDDY water.
Sweet.
Hopefully the FKRs forget how to win and the MFYs remember to lose, after today.
I don't know why Gardenhire was going so monkeyshit. On the replays, it looked like the ball bounced at least a foot in front of the outfielder.
I was in the Monster Seats--but far from the controversial play. I sat in the very first seat in the front row, next to "Fisk Pole."
AND NOBODY CAME TO CLAIM THE SEAT. Got nine innings in the 140-dollar seat for my $30 standing room ticket. Too bad literally not one ball was hit down the left field line. Not even a long foul home run.
he went monkeyshit because they changed the call. it just happened to be the wrong call that changed to the right one--I could clearly see it wasn't a catch from 37 feet up. I don't know how the ump missed that one.
MBM!
Awesome!
