Rangers - 000 000 000 - 0 6 0Until the Red Sox tacked on a meaningless run in the eighth inning, I was wondering what the record was for most runs scored by a team in one inning as its total runs in a shutout. (Actually, I am still wondering.)
Red Sox - 090 000 01x - 10 13 0
In the second inning, Hunter became the hunted as the Red Sox said "Fair Warning" and, lord, they struck that poor boy down:
Youkilis (bfbb) singled to leftDice (7-6-0-5-5, 115) worked out of several mild jams (bases loaded/2 outs in the 2nd, 1st & 3rd/1 out in the 3rd, 1st & 2nd/2 outs in the 7th) and then watched as Manny Delcarman and Mike Timlin each tossed a perfect inning of relief.
Bay (ccfb) flied to CF in left-center
Lowrie (bbc) singled to right, Youkilis to 3rd
Varitek (bsbfb) walked, Lowrie to 2nd
Crisp singled to left, Youkilis scored, Lowrie to 3rd, Varitek to 2nd
Cora (bb) hit by pitch, Lowrie scored, Varitek to 3rd, Crisp to 2nd
Drew (b) grounded into FC, Varitek scored, Crisp to 3rd, Cora out 4-6
Pedroia (cfb) doubled to left, Crisp scored, Drew to 3rd
Ortiz (b) homered to right, Drew, Pedroia and Ortiz scored
Youkilis (c) doubled off left wall
Bay (cbbbf) singled to left, Youkilis scored
Madrigal relieved Hunter
Lowrie (bcbsb) doubled to left, Bay scored
Varitek (bcbc) struck out swinging
Tampa Bay outlasted Oakland 7-6 in 12 innings. The idle Yankees are now 9.5 GB.
***
Tommy Hunter (10.61, 40 ERA+) / Daisuke Matsuzaka (2.90, 154 ERA+)
Vicente Padilla had been the scheduled starter, but was scratched after receiving a cortisone shot for an inflamed muscle joint in the right side of his neck.
This is Hunter's third major league game. The 22-year-old RHP has allowed 16 hits (including three HR) and 11 runs in 9.1 innings. The leadoff batter has reached base in six of the 10 innings he has begun and opposing batters have a 1.261 OPS against Hunter with men on base.
Josh Hamilton will not be in tonight's lineup. He is back in Dallas with his wife, who will soon give birth to their third child.
Also: Rays/Athletics at 4 PM. The Yankees have the day off.

Um...one of the most embarrassing moments in TV history just happened. Bill Cosby's on the pregame, talking all about the Jimmy Fund, since the annual telethon is going on. It quickly became apparent that Bill thought the charity he's helping raise money for is the "Jimmy V" foundation--the one that came from the death of basketball coach Jim Valvano. Tom Caron did a great job of just moving on... but oh my god. I felt kinda like the way I felt for that Feldman guy the other night. Under-table crawling stuff. (Unless he just happened to be bringing up the other charity. But I'm pretty sure he's confusing the two...did anyone else see this?)
How's the weather?

A's tie it up at 5-5 in the bottom of the 9th. 2 outs, winning run at 1st.
Frank Thomas ties it up in the bottom of the ninth vs. the Rays! 5-5.
Zeigler gave up his first run in the Majors this year for the A's.
Extra innings for the Rays & A's.
one of the most embarrassing moments in TV history just happened.
Must have been worse than it sounds in re-telling.
A Mel OTT inning for Dice.
Oh shit, that's not true. I missed the walk.
heh, this hunter guy has a "tutti grandi culo"
GO A'S!!!!
yes, he's a beefy boy
so thus pitcher - 3rd MLB game, 10+ ERA
he'll be gone by the 4th or he'll throw a 3-hit shutout.
the A's: prolonging not losing.
not sure how many of you have been watching the rays game, but percival had to leave the game with an apparent hamstring injury.
Feel free to update us, we can't watch both at once, we can only flip over during commercials.
impossible. only yankees get hurt.
hank told me so.
1st & 3rd no outs for the FKR
passed ball, oakland recovers and get the out at the plate. 1 out, man on 2nd
L: I'm just sayin', imagine you were at a charity's biggest event they have, and you're the biggest celebrity guest, and you basically announce to everyone that you don't even know which charity you're raising money for. He was even talking about Jim Valvano's wife and how he was a great coach, etc.
:o
the a's get out of trouble
even if the rays win, they have been playing like shit as of late.
Okay, one of the most embarrassing moments in NESN history. History covering the years 2005-2008....
I'm just sayin'
Well, actually, you were saying it "one of the most embarrassing moments in TV history", and I just kind of doubt that. What with live TV, working mics that were believed to be off, and whatnot.
It does sound cringeworthy, tho.
Okay, one of the most embarrassing moments in NESN history. History covering the years 2005-2008....
Ah, I'm sure you're closer there.
Did I ever tell you my theory on Dice? I think he thinks, Hey, I've got three empty bases to work with. If there's anyone I don't want to face, or if the count goes 2-0, I can just go ahead and walk up to three guys! Why not? I can throw 200 pitches if I have to...
and it seems to be working this year.
think about it, Frank Catalanatto has the perfect name for Bob Sheppard.
think about it, Frank Catalanatto has the perfect name for Bob Sheppard.
You're right! I heard an interview where he said his favourite name to say (at the time) was Shigetosi Hasagawa.
I always liked "Alvaro... Es...pinosa."
well the bases are full now - so get outs
We have the Rangers anncrs tonight, so if Don & Jerry do anything crazy, let us know.
I always liked "Alvaro... Es...pinosa."
Me too me too!! I can hear it perfectly in my mind, the exact cadence.
l-girl, right?! i can hear it sweetly in my head.
i wonder what other names are his favorites?
2 of the rangers in tonight's lineup have "tala" in their names. i suppose our dog is rooting for them....
rays/a's to the 12th.
MVPyook
I don't think they're gonna get too crazy with this lymphoma survivor. It'll be all Jimmy Find stuff tonight. They even have the phone # on the screen at all times. Imagine if they put what they do with Sox Appeal into the Jimmy Fund stuff year round! Cancer would be completely cured!
Tala just wants us to be happy. She wouldn't root for the Rangers.
Your dog is rooting for bacon and you know it.
What lymphoma survivor?
Imagine if they put what they do with Sox Appeal into the Jimmy Fund stuff year round! Cancer would be completely cured!
Good point.
Mmmm, bacon...
They've got a cancer survivor in the booth. I don't know if he's a known guy or what. But he's made it 13 years. Nice job.
pena dong, rays 6, A's 5
Pena homer in the top of the 12th. 6-5 FKR.
We had to mute the game. MUMS alert.
GLOVES
Cancer's just your body deciding to blow itself up. Girardi should give it one of his motivational speeches and tell it to cut that shit out.
<3 Jed.
up from the ground came a bubblin single
ha ha jere, good!
Girardi should give it one of his motivational speeches and tell it to cut that shit out.
Tell cancer it's not getting any post-game ice cream and it'll be in remission toot fucking sweet.
C'mon Tek. Enlarge those post-marital estate values.
7-5 FKR.
7-5? Chances are slim for the A's. They've already come back once today.
man, they really put the F in FKR...
Remy saying Farrell should tell Dice to pretend the bases are loaded all the time. No! That'll ruin his perfectly good system.
Thanks, L.
How bout it, Ococ?
Nice ribbie, Coco.
Run(s)!
And it drops in! The Ococinator comes through.
Good baserunning by Lowrie. He had that right in front of him and could tell pretty early it was gonna drop. He was the one guy they could've forced, but he made it so there was no chance.
Our snow-white dog has a bit of an orange glow from her tomato juice bath.
Met a nice white-striped kitty?
nice ribbie, Cora
good move, einstein!!!
That's why you were posting those "kitties" the other night.
Nice rbi, Cora.
Bottom three producing.
Still an rbi.
This guy isn't even the best T. Hunter in the league.
Pitch over Pede's head, cue comment about his height...
I'm finding this too funny on FJM:
Mark: Joe, as of right now who is the AL MVP?
Joe Morgan: That's difficult to answer because the season is not over,
KT: The question was "as of right now."
Theoretical Joe Morgan: Right, and it's hard to answer because of what will happen in the future.
KT: But...the question is: right now, who's the MVP. Like, now. At this moment.
TJM: But I can't answer that, because I can't tell the future.
KT: Hang on. Let me try something. What time is it.
TJM: No way to tell.
KT: Because you don't know what time it will be in the future?
TJM: Correct.
KT: Fair enough.
not even the best t. hunter in the park
cws hit 4 straight dongs today.
..
MOUTH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
my internet was out for a sec:
COCOCOCKSUCKER DID SOMETHING
OUR TEAM IS AWESOME FY!
pedroia's fucking awesome
Fuck yeah!
Hurting them early, as usual.
So if Tek has said he's going to give Pedroia his C when he retires, does Pedroia get his wife too?
QUADRANGULAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
YEAHHHH, 3 run dong. The home version of the Red Sox rule!
PAPI DONG!!!!
Loooove this Ranger pitching!
<3 Papi.
PAPI DONG
WOW THIS IS SILLY!
Kurt Suzuki with the runs-coring double-play. 7-6 FKR, two out.
Remy: Youk="so hot"
Don: Youk="red hot"
*run-scoring
I think that would be up to Tek's wife. What with slavery being illegal and all.
Kevin "two K in one inning" Youkilis tries a change of pace.
What with slavery being illegal and all.
They live in Georgia, though.
Pretty sure it's illegal there, too.
Giddy games are giddy.
LEAVE HIM IN!!!!!!!!!!!
So their starter went 1-2/3? Wow.
Does the pitcher get a free punch at Catalanotto?
Speaking of his name--the way Trup said it always cracked me up. He's put a long O in there. NOE-TOE....
hunter era now 15.55
7-6 FKR final.
If only they'd ever lose.
Rays win.
roll up
for the madrigal mystery tour
They only lose on days we lose.
ius that actress lady they are in love with going to call in?
NYY now 9.5 GB.
Only 2 games ahead of the 4th place Blue Jays!
Renee Russo? That makes me glad we have the TX broadcast.
Wheeee....!
Rays lost 2 nights ago.
9! Come on, double-digit run inning!
Jed!
Oh you know Russo's thinking about calling. Haven't heard from her yet tonight.
HUNTER: 1.2-7-9-1-1
i love lowrie. fuck you lugo
13 doubles in 124 at bats.
Rays lost 2 nights ago.
I didn't mean it literally. They obviously lose once in a while.
They're just a fucking good team.
VARISUCK
Would've been too much.
Normally, you'd think, "Oh, we're scorin' a bunch of runs, we're going to win no problem."
Normally. But in this series, the longer this inning goes on, the more of a nailbiter the game's bound to be!
L: I was talking to Phil. I thought.
Ah, so close to 2 10-run innings in one series. That has probably never happened.
Good evening, all, BTW.
Oh sorry Jere. I was pretty much saying the same thing.
think about how many awesome guys we have on our team from our farm system.
CRAZY AWESOME
Good evening, Non-Con.
Normally. But in this series, the longer this inning goes on, the more of a nailbiter the game's bound to be!
Yeah, this series is anything but normal.
Our innings this series: 1 2 2 2 2 4 4 9 10. And nine 0s.
I'd like to think Matsusaka couldn't give up eight runs in an inning, though.
Normally, you'd think, "Oh, we're scorin' a bunch of runs, we're going to win no problem."
Normally. But in this series, the longer this inning goes on, the more of a nailbiter the game's bound to be!
Well, to be fair, first-start-in-the-big-leagues Charlie Zink started that game. As opposed to sub-3-ERA Matsuzaka. He might walk more than 10, but I can't see the Sox giving up double digit runs when he's pitching.
Unless we trade back for Hansen...
rangers tv guy saying the Wall was built only in the 1930s.
when the park opened in 1912, the wall was 25 feet high. it was later raised a bit more to 37.
PICTURES EXIST OF THIS!!!!!!!!!
idiots.
That'll do.
MANNY?? AGAIN???
Allan: "Dice K toying with Milton Bradley"
Uh-oh Nix, who's doing what?
remy starting with his "im not going to manny bash, but..."
Funny that everyone turns my username into non-conformer... Can't people handle the fact that I am a conformer, and not the other way around? (:
DON'T MAKE ME TRANSCRIBE THAT SHIT!!!
It's just cause we know better, Ofer.
I'm here! Did I miss anything? :>)
"Manny's my favorite and all, but TRUST US, bad stuff happened behind closed doors, even though we have no proof of it." -Remy. (That's not a real quote. Gist.)
i dont know what all was said as i walked out of the room for a sec to hear him talk about "there was probably a lot of stuff that we dont know about"
i wonder what else he said as they were showing tito
that's the gist, Nix. They did say how he's still one of their all-time faves, and how they check the DOdger game every night.
4 runs away from Tim's 40 for the series.
4 runs away from Tim's 40 for the series.
So we should be there by the middle of the fourth, or so.
Sorry, end of the fourth, obviously.
i wonder what else he said as they were showing tito
He didn't say too much more. What Remy did say was he wasn't going to Manny bash. Then he got in a jab or two before moving on.
I just got back from supper. Have we scored any runs yet? :)
rangers pbp guy now saying pesky wrapped home runs around the right field pole.
newspaper accounts show that pesky hit exactly ZERO home runs down by the pole that now has his name.
What Remy did say was he wasn't going to Manny bash.
I'm not a racist, but...
I'm not saying Remy fucks goats. I'm just saying a lot of bad stuff happens behind closed doors that we have no proof of. Like fucking goats.
rangers pbp guy now saying pesky wrapped home runs around the right field pole.
He's got plenty of company when it comes to that myth.
Hey, not so long ago we heard the No No Nanette crap. I think it was the trivia q one night.
Did you hear, Jerry Remy is a goat fucker!!!
Seems like the Pesky RF-line HR total goes down every year...
How did it get to be known as the Pesky pole? I don't remember.
What Remy did say was he wasn't going to Manny bash.
I'm not a racist, but...
Listen, I know it's not my business, but...
Pesky sure hit a lot of homeruns in his career for a guy who hit 17 of them.
pesky hit only 17 HR -- 10 at fenway.
easy to check.
Parnell made some shit up. It stuck. Broadcasters have that ability.
Listen, I know it's not my business, but...
Right, that's a good one! I always want to say SO SHUT UP.
Parnell made some shit up. It stuck.
Remember, I don't go back too far with this team. I don't even know who Parnell is.
GDGD scored the Byrd groundout as a single. Drunk monkeys at the keyboard?
Mel Parnell. Mostly before my time.

It must be right up there with some guy showing you how to eat a hot dog the right way, a veggie dog noless....:)
Evening all...yet another monster inning, I see. How in the HELL did Dice put 7 guys on in the first 4 innings and not give up any runs?
The hotdog lesson was classic TV. Classic!

The same way he always does....
rangers guy says ted williams hit a ton when he was 42 and calls him "the nolan ryan version of hitting".
this man must die.

You're shot....
This is a good little wrap-up of Pesky Pole from a few years back.
yoooook
Thanks Jere, I'll check it out.
trooooooooooooooped
on
yoooooooooooooooook
fuck fsn
Jarrod Saltalamacchia is in so many All-X teams:
The all tala team (along with Catalanotto and probably a couple others)
The all blunt objects team (jar, rod).
The all rod team (along with countless rodriguezes).
The all condiment team.
Theo's dream, the all-J team.
The all South American cities team (Salta)
Probably some more.
Don't know if Nix or somebody else mentioned this: Mad Dog Russo released from WFAN! Mike & the Mad Dog are split up after 20 years!
3/3.
rangers guy says ted williams hit a ton when he was 42 and calls him "the nolan ryan version of hitting".
this man must die.
Sounds like he's going through the entire history of the Boston Red Sox.
What the fuck did he talk about the first two games?
I wonder if Theo's related to that family in Arkansas who has 18 kids who's names all start with J.
Ofer outdoes himself on the all-x teams. Very nice.
Condiments, that gets me thinking. You hear about mustard and relish, but did they play anywhere?
Playing pepper, too.
Lugo: Honorable Suicide
Jason, you're a free man! Hit like one!
TX anncrs talking about Tampa Bay, will they hold it together "down the stretch, with the Yankees and the Red Sox...".
CHECK YOUR STANDINGS, GUYS.
Another Tek K. Great.
A lot of Peppers played in the major leagues. Don Pepper, Bob Pepper, Pepper Peploski...
I think a whole generation of boys got J names. The Jason (and Jayson) brigade.
Trying to decide: keep this as my desktop background or switch to this?
Just out of curiosity, what is the Fenway reaction when Tek bats? Are they supportive, or do they know that Tek's a living, breathing out right now?
Peppers, for sure. Mustard, ketchup, relish and salsa, maybe not.
Tek offensive skills divorced him long ago.
Ha. One of the coolest names of an old-time ballplayer: Sugar Cain.
I'd stay with the 1st pic, but I don't like the 2nd pic at all.
There's a guy called Chili Davis, isn't there?
Sugar Cain! Sugar a nickname b/c of his last name?
Chili Davis, a mainstay of my all-food team. But that's a food, not a condiment.
The Rangers are playing ketchup tonight.
It's a condiment on hotdogs, I hear.
Someone should remember to tell Dice-K that the score is 9-0 and to STOP NIBBLING.
FUCK YEAH!
Chili dogs? I think it's just more food. Like is cheese a condiment on a burger?
How in the HELL did Dice put 7 guys on in the first 4 innings and not give up any runs?
Like that, mostly.
Dice just walks through raindrops. If it wasn't so goddamn irritating, it'd truly be incredible to watch.
Are olives a condiment? There's Oliva and Olivo.
Allan's wondering about Mayo.
Sugar Cain! Sugar a nickname b/c of his last name?
Yeah. Merritt Patrick Cain. He played from '32 to '38 for the Philadelphia A's, St. Louis Browns, and the White Sox.
i hate remy's ads.
Ground chili is definitely a condiment. Ask the chicken in mushroom and sour cream sauce I made today...
Eddie Mayo, Jackie Mayo, Mayo Smith.
Benoit balls in
And then of course for those who follow football, the Patriots have a rookie named Jerod Mayo.
Benoit on the all sexual-aids team?
