Orioles - 001 000 000 - 1 3 0Wakefield (7-2-1-1-6, 98) was stupendous yet again and a grand slam from the Sultan of Sweat (Kevin Youkilis) in the third put the game out of reach.
Red Sox - 207 100 02x - 12 15 0
Tampa's 8-4 loss in Cleveland means the Red Sox are only .5 GB in the East.
Only four Baltimore batters reached base: Kevin Millar's two-out single in the second, Ramon Hernandez's solo home run to begin the third, Adam Jones's two-out walk in the third, and Nick Markakis's double in the ninth. At one point, Red Sox pitchers retired 18 Orioles in a row.
Liz had nothing. After retiring the first two batters in the first, J.D. Drew and Manny Ramirez hit home runs on consecutive pitches. With one out in the third, Dustin Pedroia singled, Drew walked, Manny was HBP, Mike Lowell walked to force in a run, Yook went deep for a four-spot, Sean Casey walked, Lance Cormier relieved Liz, Jed Lowrie flew out to right, Kevin Cash singled, Jacoby Ellsbury singled and Pedroia doubled in two runs. 9-1.
Yook finished the night with six RBI. Drew reached base four times, and he and Manny both scored three times.

Radhames Liz (5.94, 71 ERA+) / Tim Wakefield (3.75, 115 ERA+)
Liz has pitched against the Red Sox only once, a start on August 31, 2007 (3-4-2-3-3, 72). No Boston batter has faced Liz more than twice.
Here is how the current Orioles have done against Wakefield. Cabin likes him (26 PA, .458/.500/.958).

nix 201.
I had to go eat dinner with my inlaws when Youk was still at bat. Nice to see the results.
He's a bit starstruck - Kevin Costner is in the booth.
Costner looks over at Remy and is thinking, He's still looking at me. Still. Again. Again. STOP LOOKING AT ME.
and the WAY remys eyes are EXAMINING costners face.
costner in the booth and remy hasnt taken his eyes off of him.
don & jerry are so star struck
Hahahaha. "You've had the privelage of working with Rene Rousseau out in Los Angeles..."
Remember that thing last year when she was in the booth?
ish, TOTALLY!
Costner looks over at Remy and is thinking, He's still looking at me. Still. Again. Again. STOP LOOKING AT ME.
he's got to be used to it.
they're talking about murcer on the radio. he always seemed like a nice guy to me - very low key and funny.
Costner on Pedroia: "Athletic Arrogance"
Costner looks over at Remy and is thinking, He's still looking at me. Still. Again. Again. STOP LOOKING AT ME.
The other day a friend of mine was trying decide if he'd seen a celeb or not. It evidently LOOKED just like whoever it was (I am very bad at this game) but didn't have that "Don't say my name, don't say my name, don't say my name..." internal monologue running across the face!
KC: "Let's start talkin' about chicks again."
DO/JR: "Heh heh heh."
remys dreamsome threesome, RUSSO, COSNTER, AND THE SECOND BASEMEN HIMSELF!
"You've had the privelage of working with Rene Rousseau out in Los Angeles..."
They talk about that Russo visit ALL the time. It comes up practically every week.
Remy shakes his hand then looks past him at the ceiling like, I wasn't really looking at you... I was looking, NEAR you.
Remember that thing last year when she was in the booth?
And didn't she call in earlier this year?
And didn't she call in earlier this year?
Yup, and it started all over again.
they had michael kay on YES earlier, he broke down about murcer... apparently the guy is human.
What is their obsession with Russo?
I mean, she doesn't have to wear a bag on her head, but ... ???
It evidently LOOKED just like whoever it was (I am very bad at this game)
But you're in NYC and you work in theatre. Don't you lose the star-struck stuff? I did.
HEIDI GOT HIT!!!
NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

I'm glad to hear it. (That he's human, I mean.)
They worked together a very long time.
What is their obsession with Russo?
Famous Person I Know?
Other than that, I have no clue.
Costner called Russo a broad.......He also said Pedroia is his favorite player
Heh, I love how she put up the one hand like it would stop the ball. Heidi thought she had telekinesis.
Ish off in Heidiland...

I was just concerned, is all.
If Joe were here, he'd have my back.

"concerned?"
that's what we're calling it now? :)

Well, I'm leaving an hour early tonight and I'm not even gonna ask for a score prediction for when I get home!
so do I......:)
LOL
Don't disillusion us. We don't think of you that way.
a-meeker!
Hey, earlier I said we could be .5 GB at the break - but I forgot we have a game tomorrow. (duh!) So we could be tied for 1st or even .5 GA. Cool.
GDGD has Daniel Cabrera pitching!
Don has cut out Remy from the picture with Costner. They were on either side of him.
GDGD has Daniel Cabrera pitching! But it's not.
Fernando Cabrera
Gotta love GDGD
But you're in NYC and you work in theatre. Don't you lose the star-struck stuff? I did.
That is largely the reason why I am so bad at the celeb spotting game. I simply don't give a shit.
Don saying that Remy was "unnecessary" in the picture.
Now they go to the trivia with a aerial shot of Boston.
Remy: "Why don't you cut out half of the city?"
So...looks like Wake will finally get a win for his great efforts over the last month or more...
That is largely the reason why I am so bad at the celeb spotting game. I simply don't give a shit.
Same here. We are very rare!
I totally don't get the whole celebrity fixation.
And a well deserved one! Hey Amy - how've you been?
That's a good curve by the OTHER Cabrera.
Youk bangs his helmet into the dirt when he fails to leg out a grounder when it's... 10-1.
Hi Sarah! Things are great, though I have missed many games and threads lately since the extended family has been around. Where have you been??
I'm outta here! Might see you later. GO SOX! (GO SPIDERS!)
Same here. We are very rare
Unfortunately.
Amy, I've been around, just the timing of games and work (and a brief period where my crappy lappy was crappier than is the norm) has been working against me in the game threading department. Nothing fun like extended family! I think we're probably not even going to make it to my family's summer vacation just because money has been so tight. Boo. :(
Otherwise well though, glad you're doing well.
I have also missed many chunks of games due to scheduling, but for me it's mostly family stuff, not work.
Sorry about your vacation limitations....
WOW. That was a terrible call.
THAT REMY FOOTAGE WAS AMAZING!
yeah i was almost putting a BB in the book. then .. whaaaa?
nice clip of remy losing his cool, though
sounds like moss is in left?
gdgd still has manny. good ol' mlb!
Thanks Amy - it's a bummer, but it could be so much worse, it's really hard to feel sorry for myself about it. My dad was pretty let down, that was the worst part!
shatner was tossed, according to gdgd
That footage of Remy definitely was awesome.
ah, GDGD - never an accurate moment there...
moss in left
cora at short
lowrie to third
William Shatner was thrown out of the game between innings for arguing that called third strike...
I lost my internet connection there for a few. So annoying. The router came unplugged....
So what's with Wakefield? He's been unbelievable this season.
Still 7-0 in Cleveland, bot 6th
I can't believe tomorrow's game is the last one before the ASB. And a day game so I won't be around. More family coming to visit.
And then there is the 3-day break -- and the Sox are off on Thursday!
I get no games at home next week.
Hansen in. Very good outing tonight for Wake.
hansen in
Wake: 7-2-1-1-6, 98
(I have 99 pitches)
Yeah, typically, I'm free almost every night this week. Therefore, it must be the ASB.
I'm not watching the ASG this year, so I guess it's movie and sitting outside week.
Not watching the ASB because of lack of interest? Or a conflict?
I mean ASG
I can catch up on some netflix I suppose - I really should put that on hiatus during baseball season...
Wow - tons of visitors today!
Almost 100 of them are from here.
Lack of interest, feels more like habit at this point.
Plus I want to avoid the Fox fawning over YS.
I had to read that a few times to figure out that he was not calling you a moron, but that poster Jack Sears.
People need to use punctuation...
I usually catch the end of the ASG when none of the starters are even in the game. Boring....
I am the bringer of truth!
im surprised on fire is still in the game.
Yeah, I read it that way at first too, Amy. The context cleared it up, but seriously?
GDGD usually has the video clips of scoring plays and impressive defense pretty quickly, but it doesn't have anything after the top of the third.
Moss!
Exclamation point!
!
This past Wednesday was also a high traffic day. No idea why.
In games like this, I find myself wishing the Sox could just take some of these hits and runs and use them in those one-run losses.
Pretty sure it's O. Yeller time.
moss moves to lf
coco in cf
lyndon moves to rf
Timlin in, and no one is worrying. Yawn.
I am maybe 7% worried.
FKR: 000 000 0
CLE: 043 000
7 %? Even I, the great worrier, am not worried.
So we are .5 back? It sure would be sweet to go into the ASB in first.
I am 0% worried.
Just got home. MASN on TV here.
Timlin Proof!
timlin is over.
UH OH!
Hi, Laura! Glad to catch you before the final out.
DIRTY WATERRRRRRR
And a fantastic play by Pedroia!
Good thing we have FY out there!
I am happy for Wakefield. And for the rest of us.
Catching up on the thread (more important than the game right now)
I can't believe tomorrow's game is the last one before the ASB. And a day game so I won't be around.
I was complaining about the same thing. I am scheduled for training at work while the game is on - then the AS break - then west coast games! BOOOO.
.5
did lowrie get a hit tonight?
No baseball and no threads for over a week? And I am finally almost family free...except for Harvey, who will still want to eat dinner!
It did look like that guy (at the link) was calling Allan a moron! The noive!
.5 - yeah!!
Yes, we need to teach that guy how to use commas. Especially if he is going to link to Allan favorably!
I guess the game was such a runaway that most of the thread people left before I even got here.
Nix, I don't think Lowrie got any hits.
jed was 0-for-4
finally done eating. good game....
re: comment about newfoundland made like 2 hours ago, that's sweet, its definitely on my list of places to travel. i did glance at the travel blog, but haven't really had time to read them. i wanna sit down one day and catch up on all of em.
no spinach tonight, but looks like it was not needed.
in asshole advertising news: just missed the first 15 seconds of the second half of the TFC game due to them showing a commerical. hooray for rogers sportsnet!
Anyone who was rooting for the MFYs over the Rays this past week needs to reconsider.

FKRs threatening. 7-2.

Actually, he looks a little like a young me.

1. I was rooting for the Rays to lose.
2. Nope.
Clev 7-4
Hmmmm
OK, good night, all. Here's to grabbing the lead in the ALEast tomorrow.
But the Rays are down to 3 outs.
Actually, he looks a little like a young me.
strong resemblance
Anyone who was rooting for the MFYs over the Rays this past week needs to reconsider.
Not so. I root for my team to get (or stay) in 1st place. If that means the Yankees have to win a game or two, so be it.
Will I look like Tito in 4.5 years?
FINAL
Cleveland 8-4.
official.
.5
tomorrow...
win.

Sure , just shave your head and chew 5 pieces od Dubble Bubble wrapped around a chew of Lancaster and you got it, and for good measure wear all your Red Sox shirts at once...
Remember these words:
I expect effort, competence, honesty, courage and trustworthiness.
I wonder if he is a Packer fan......The media should be having a field day with that little darling.....
1-0 w/o Lugo
just sayin
Wow. Run Support for Wake!
That doesn't happen very often.
On a sadder note - My Big League team finally hit the wall last night, lost 7 - 1.
We're still 6 - 1 though, not bad.
