Orioles - 200 020 021 - 7 7 1After two were out in the bottom of the ninth, Boston loaded the bases, bringing the tying run to the plate, but Youkilis fanned.
Red Sox - 020 100 000 - 3 8 1
Buchholz (5-5-4-5-6, 107) had a rough first (single, double, three walks) and a rough fifth (single, triple, two walks), but looked great in the middle. He struck out the side in the third, then fanned two of the three batters he faced in a perfect fourth.
Pedroia went 0-for-3 with two walks, ending a 17-game hitting streak. Ramirez and Moss both had two hits. Lugo had two RBI, the third time this season he has driven in more than one run in as game.
Tampa lost 5-0 -- New York lost 5-0.
***
Brian Burres (5.07, 83 ERA+) / Clay Buchholz (5.53, 78 ERA+)
With the Red Sox only 1.5 GB, Buchholz returns to the Red Sox rotation.
Double H was put on the disabled list in mid-May with a torn fingernail on his right hand and while in AAA, he worked on altering his delivery. In nine starts (log), he posted a 2.47 ERA.
Also: Justin Masterson threw a perfect inning of relief for the PawSox on Thursday night against Norfolk, retiring the side in the sixth inning on 16 pitches (F7, 5-3, K).
AL East: Tampa is in Cleveland, while the Yankees (3rd, 6.5 GB) visit the Blue Jays. The Rays, Cubs, Angels and Red Sox all have a MLB-best 55 wins.

1.5 baby! This is fun!!
Joba and Halladay...That shouldbe fun.....with the way the redsox have hadled the staff this year its like every starter besides wake has had like 2 or more starts off...with either minor injuries or made up ones. I am still not sure what happend to HH in the first place....They all should be well rested for the stretch run.....and Lester will get like 8-10 days off here with the break....
The match-ups tonight really favor the Red Sox, don't they? Halladay and Lee, with the O's in a funk. 50-50 chance that the Rays will be in free-fall to the break...speaking as a critic, of course.
From PAGE SIX:
YANKEE commentator Michael Kay alone on his day off, watching the Bronx Bombers at the bar at the new Indian Wells Tavern in Amagansett while downing a few Michelob Ultra Lights and fiddling with his cellphone.
Leadoff hitter for Joe Girardi's Yankees tonight?
Brett Gardner.
The guy with the -7 OPS+!
Negative!
OBP: .194
He's had only 33 PA, but good lord.
LEADOFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
...
(Even Jeff Bailey, who is 0-for-5, has a positive OPS+: 10. (He's walked 3 times.))
garder: Mr. 17 hopper to beat us
nevertheless
Sorta cool linescrore from last night:
Reds: 013 411 101 - 12 18 2
Cubs: 120 202 000 - 7 9 0
Reds 1st: 2-out walk
Reds 8th: down in order
Following up on nix's Kay note:
YANKEES radio announcer John Sterling is being called out for foul behavior in the stadium's press dining room. "Sterling has made a habit of walking over to the dessert table and dipping his finger into the ice cream barrel," one stadium worker told us, adding that the play-by-play vet has also used the same tablespoon to repeatedly take samples. During the Boston series, "He wandered over to the cake and pie section, broke off a piece of a cake slice, ate it and wiped his grimy hands on the linen tablecloth, leaving the remainder of the slice for someone else to eat - which indeed happened," our spy continued. A rep for WCBS Radio declined to comment, and a team spokesman said the Yankees "know nothing about it."

TIMMY: What are you doing?
GEORGE: What?
TIMMY: Did ... did you just double-dip that chip?
GEORGE: Excuse me?
TIMMY: You double-dipped the chip!
GEORGE: "Double-dipped"? What are you talking about?
TIMMY: You dipped the chip. You took a bite. [points at the dip] And you dipped again.
GEORGE: So...?
TIMMY: That's like putting your whole mouth right in the dip! From now on, when you take a chip -- just take one dip and end it!
GEORGE: Well, I'm sorry, Timmy ... but I don't dip that way. [takes a chip]
TIMMY: Oh, you don't, huh?
GEORGE: No. [dips the chip] You dip the way you want to dip ... [bites the chip] I'll dip the way I want to dip. [dips the chip again]
TIMMY: Gimme the chip! [Grabs George and the chip goes flying] Gimme the chip! [They struggle in front of the snack table]

Oi, that brings me back. That was the first time I heard about the concept of double dipping.
"isn't it true that you always wanted to be.... a BANKER?!"
Oh gosh. Millar's been moved out of the cleanup spot!
yeah they were killing sterling on wfan. pretty gross.
Good evening :D I have the night off, so it's Sox time
"isn't it true that you always wanted to be.... a BANKER?!"
"You know I always wanted to pretend I was an architect."
Hold onto your cellphones and wallets. It's time to play ball!
NESN on mlbtv!
let's go HH!
HH v Orioles: 12 IP, 1 H

"and you wanna be my latex salesman."
(all from different episodes, but all equally as funny)
33rd double for Roberts. Wow, that's a lot.
dammit
fricking birds.
I hope Oriole dominance becomes a regular thing for HH
I hope this is the beginning of a Rays bullpen BREAKDOWN.
HH with 2 straight walks. He's around the plate -- just far enough outside to not get the call -- and he's leaving pitches (the changeup, esp.) up.
jesus christ.
Mora clocked that one -- but he foolishly runs on MBM!
Period of adjustment, I guess. Terry said they weren't going to look at the outcome of his first couple of games, just at his arm slot and stuff.
Let's hope this is a bad first inning, not a harbinger of several bad outings.
Julio with the flashy glove...
!@#!@#
Oh no. Trade him for Ponson. Bring back Masterson. Put Julio on the mound.
come on, throw strikes.
whoa - check out cabin's laces.
well, i mean, it could have been a lot worse
alright, 2 runs ain't shit to this team. still steamrollin'.
(did tek go out to the mound at all that inning? i know farrell did ...)
Peeee-eeewww.
7 batters in the 1st inning, not good!
3 walks and 2 hits - yech.
Let's hope he's just getting out those return jitters.
Only two runs across for Buchholz = lucky.
Still no JD, either, eh.
I for one could care less about 2 runs. We can score that without ever leaving the dugout (OK,maybe that's stretching it).
I'm not crazy about the fact that we gave up 2 in the 1st inning though. We can't do that many more times, unless of course we decide to go on another 23 hit onslaught.
don't clap for manny - you'll only encourage him!
Manny's probably wishing we weren't behind so he didn't have to try.
NYY: 0
TOR: 0
TBR: 0
CLE: 1 (still batting)
"You know I always wanted to pretend I was an architect."
One of my fave Seinfeld lines evah.
I have to watch without threading for a while. See you soon.
don't clap for manny - you'll only encourage him!
Good thing you said that and not me!
Manny's probably wishing we weren't behind so he didn't have to try.
LOL
Manny's probably wishing we weren't behind so he didn't have to try.
Trust me, Manny has no idea what the score is ...or who we are playing.
Shabbat Shalom, ya'll
Off to service.
Make sure I come home to a W
well... I guess this Buchholz guy is ok.
"with a full length dive Pedroia came up just a little bit short."
Joe taking a small snipe at the vertically challenged.
If HH stopped throwing his fastball earlier this year and relied too heavily on his curve and change, should Varitek get some flak for that?
Isn't he calling the pitches? HH isn't overruling him, is he?
horizontally challenged?
Perhaps he was calling for the pitches based on what he could get over?
Short
could be. that certainly happens. but start after start?
I thought it was outta here
yowzer. Casey was due, eh?
Casey is the shit!
Nope. Double.
what is it with these fucking fans and grabbing balls in play?
Hard not to love Casey.
Mayor: .376
remy says fan who grabbed the ball ejected.
good.
New SI just reached my mitts. Lots of female tennis player pictures (swoon).
YES!
MOSS-DEF!!!
come on Julio, please just make one out
4 game hit streak, remy?
even for lugo, that is silly.
shut up.
Let's all write comments that are parodies of ourselves.
I would start, but I have to wait til LBJ comes up, because HE'S MY BOY and if you don't like it FUCK YOU, DON'T READ IT.
Wow, a self-parody? Sounds fun .. give me a few minutes
Is Bill Buckner the name of a Yeti?
Wow, did you hear about that really cool sporting occurrence unrelated to this game? super awesome. L-girl, you're halfway wrong!
Joe, it's carried over from another thread. See the argument in the Mike Lowell Cell Phone Thief post. But this will not be an argument, it will be fun.
wow - shatner's got a great seat tonight ... wait, that the BAL manager.
WHAT?!!!!!
OUT????????????
WTF???????????????????????
Wow.
Tied 2-2! But Lugo out?? NO WAY.
SAFE.
(I'm cracking up already.)
ugly, but I like the run part.
And the runner didn't even score. F!@#$!@#!
lugo on bag and ball is not even in the picture.
ump can't fuck one up worse than that
Oh, okay, it did score.
REPLAY PLZ
oh I know L. I already did a self-parody
I heart LBJ.
Poor Lugo! He was robbed!!
Joe, I know, I saw it. My computer is slow tonight.
The run did score.
MFing ump
Which you already knew.
remmber kids, the nyy fans are right, the sox get all the calls
Doug Eddings - Blind as a Fucking Bat
TOR 0, NYY 0 (bot 3)
CLE 1, TB 0 (bot 3)
remmber kids, the nyy fans are right, the sox get all the calls
Self-parody, not announcer parody.
Yay Cleveland
remmber kids, the nyy fans are right, the sox get all the calls
It's amazing that true considering RSN is a LIE!
That call was so BAD that I was compelled to come on here and bitch about it...
You're bitching is welcome here, Grant, as long as it's not bitching about Manny (or LBJ).
HH says SIT
Oh Grant is here, let's have a long, off-topic argument and all pretend to hate each other.
Pretend? :D
I was already celebrating the base hit lol
Patrick, you who calling a bitch?
CLE 3 - FKR 0
Jays threatening with men on first and second and one out in the third.
Uh, yeah, pretend. :)
Oo, "down by way of the K"! DRINK!
sweet curve
HHBHH!
HH is pitching like an ace all of a sudden. This is unprecedented! Has this kid ever pitched this well ever before?
Now now L, let's all be friends and admit that Yetis are among us.
This is the best blog ever :D
Allan, you do one.
here is my parody of ish:
(ready?)
201.
Jays get another on, 2-0 over the MFY
HH is pitching like an ace all of a sudden. This is unprecedented! Has this kid ever pitched this well ever before?
Hmmmm...let me try to think back...
Grant has the right idea.
Patrick, who you calling yeti? :)
2-0 Toronto!
Jays 2 MFY 0.
Did someone say Yeti? He's dreamy! <3
remy and don celebrating getting free shit.
Look at Don & Jerry drooling over their swag. Jerry's favourite thing i the world: freebies. Of anything.
Spiders up 3-0 on the Rays btw
don: "we like gifts ... especially free ones"
...
can it be a gift if you pay for it???
Allan, we're parodying ourselves. Scroll up.
Wow, I just read the Lowell cellphone thread. Wow. LOL
i know, but i'm stumped. maybe jack is right?
Remy said that. Don said some gifts come with strings attached, favours you have to do.
* * * *
Grant calls Cleveland "Spiders"! A true JOSer.
Manny walks because he doesn't care enough to hit. Instead he clogs the basepaths.
:D
btw, what's the Lowell cell phone thread?
Grant calls Cleveland "Spiders"! A true JOSer.
Or an asskisser!
redsock: PUNK ROCK!!!!!!!!!!!!! Excuse me, let me fix my pocket protector
Or an asskisser!
The biggest asskisser you will ever meet
Wow, I just read the Lowell cellphone thread. Wow. LOL
Jack and I go back a ways.
i know, but i'm stumped. maybe jack is right?
No, never! :)
I refer to them as Club Deportivo de Cleveland
yep - manny just standing there, thinking he's got to renew his Juggs subscription! ... thank god burres was wild.
I wonder what magazines Manny subscribes to.
While I am an asskisser of the highest degree... who's ass could I possibly be kissing by calling Cleveland the Spiders? lol
Just hate on Clemens, love on Manny and Tizzle, throw a bunch of numbers around, and call someone a motherfucker.
Oh, and hate on Michael Kay and Joe Morgan.
I wonder what magazines Manny subscribes to.
"Highlights" -- he loves Goofus and Gallant.
Speaking of self-parody, HEY, REMY IS ON TV!
While I am an asskisser of the highest degree... who's ass could I possibly be kissing by calling Cleveland the Spiders? lol
The asses of the white liberal guilt machine that runs this and other hippie blogs!
Yes, that was parody. Of...someone.
I knew we could all parody each other, but that might lead to hurt feelings - and paranoia. So I thought it would be more fun for everyone to do themselves.
Too bad Manny isn't more like gold glover Julio. That guy is a model teammate.
Yes, that was parody. Of...someone.
Of so many people.
The asses of the white liberal guilt machine that runs this and other hippie blogs!
I blame the democrats for everything. Including the war in Iraq.
self-parody #2: Wow, look at me, I am scholarly and cool at the same time.
Yes, that was parody. Of...someone.
Of so many people.
Yes, but no one in particular.
I blame the democrats for everything. Including the war in Iraq.
Now your parodying me and Allan.
LETS COME UP WITH SOME TOTALLY WEIRD NICKNAMES FOR BALLPLAYERS!
I blame the democrats for everything. Including the war in Iraq.
They deserve *at least* 50% of the blame.
...
(Is that a parody of me or not? You make the call!)
Scholarly is mundane. Why don't you make a real difference and milk cows, like me?
Joe ha ha, you are very good at this!
OK, here's my next one.
Everyone say whatever they want! Free speech for all! You said something I don't like and I will not stop talking about it until you go away!
blah blah blah Canada blah blah blah
I'm pretty sure Clay's curveball is my new favorite pitch!
Everyone say whatever they want! Free speech for all! You said something I don't like and I will not stop talking about it until you go away!
so....back to normal?
Patrick is very good at this too.
At least, I hope that was a self-parody!
To parody myself, I suppose I could talk about what happened in the Bar.
Yesterday as I went in to make sure the Yankees lost, a hopelessly destructive meth-head right out of jail barged in. The Bar Dog backed away and barked at him -- she is an excellent judge of character. Minutes later, he had to be taken outside, and all the tough-guy regulars were bristling for violence. Fortunately, the owner has sense and was able to defuse it. For a long time afterwards, people barely half the ex-con's size were discussing how they were going to thrash him. I got tired of this (and just plain tired) and left.
I would like to say that I'm parodying myself, but it's the damn truth -- how sad is that?
Ha, Patrick and I said the same things about each other, more or less.
How on earth have we made it this far through a JoS self parody post and not have one person say the name "Heidi" !?!?!
What kind of pup is Bar Dog? Sounds like a smart one.
Everyone say whatever they want! Free speech for all! You said something I don't like and I will not stop talking about it until you go away!
Heh heh, don't be too hard on yourself.
HH @ 76 pitches. Hopefully he'll finish the fifth, then we'll see Aardsma I suppose.
Did you know there is a small part of New England that the NEW ENGLAND Sports Network does not broadcats to? Well, there is. And I lived there. So you remember that. Or wait 10 minutes until I tell you again!
I will not stop talking about it until you go away!
and a decent amount of time afterward! :-p
I can only parody other people re Heidi.
Speaking of which, too bad Andy is not here. We could all try to guess if his posts were real or parody.
Speaking of which, too bad Andy is not here. We could all try to guess if his posts were real or parody.
I can't decide if that would be fun or horrifying.
Jere, stop using Allan's account.
I am off the thread for now.
and a decent amount of time afterward! :-p
nothing exceeds like excess
That's the only way Varitek is gonna get a hit.
holy shit, tek got a hit!
i would totally let tek hold my hand after that hit.
Amy: Tek is like an undercover super hero. It's like he came from another planet, planet Krypton, and is here to protect the Red Sox.
oHhhhhhhhh Jeeeeez I thought he was definitely scoring on that
God Varitek is slow...
A Jolly Good Day To You All!
blah blah blah Canada blah blah blah
blah blah blah some new england baseball team no one has ever heard of blah blah blah
that works
blah blah blah some new england baseball team no one has ever heard of blah blah blah
FUCK YEAH!
Julio only gets RBIs on outs. He's a lost cause.
A, good Andy there.
I thought someone was parodying Lord Lynch, but it's the real thing! Hi Lord.
That umpire's call at 1st base earlier reminds me that I need an eye test...
Lugo's 3rd game this season with more than 1 RBI!
3rd!!!
I am extremely enthusiastic about many things in life! /selfparody
LBJ is up and no one is ragging on me? I'm hurt.
Hello l et al... it has been a while.
C'mon J. Kobe. L. Spur E... Booo.
jacoby could rub me down with warm butter while clay tossed raisins at me to see if they would stick .....
EEEK! that was a close pitch, but it was a decent call
Andy: It's ok Jacoby. I'll wash you down at the hotel later.
jacoby could rub me down with warm butter while clay tossed raisins at me to see if they would stick .....
....LMAO
I know who you are, Victor Martinez.... You sound like you are auditioning for a remake of the Munsters.
We have moved off self-parody and are squarely in other-parody territory.
HELL YEAH I FUCKING HATE THE YANKEES
was that a passable nix?
mfy with 1 hit thru 5 against halladay. 2-0 jays!
-very obvious comment mostly reinforcing someone else's point-
Woo Toronto!
i dont no why everybody hates lugo so much..... he's only being himself.... everyone desvres a brake.....
-very obvious comment mostly reinforcing someone else's point-
Fri Jul 11, 08:34:00 PM
Sounds like Grant to me
-very obvious comment mostly reinforcing someone else's point-
That could be anybody!
By the way, has anyone purchased my motherfucking 1918 book?
it was supposed to be me, but that works too.
