Red Sox - 004 000 100 01 - 6 9 0Coco Crisp's home run tied the game in the eighth, Jed Lowrie's second career dong gave the Red Sox a lead in the 11th and Manny Declarmen got the save -- though he needed 26 nerve-wracking pitches -- striking out Jose Bautista with a man on first.
Blue Jays - 200 102 000 00 - 5 9 0
Vernon Wells -- a one-man wrecking crew this weekend (6-for-9, with 3 home runs) -- hit a two-run shot in the first; he also added an RBI double in the sixth.
Burnett had made quick work of the Sox in the first two innings, throwing only 19 pitches, but Boston forced him to throw 32 pitches in the third. With one out, Burnett walked Alex Cora and Crisp, the two guys at the bottom of the order. He got Jacoby Ellsbury on a pop-up for the second out, but Dustin Pedroia blasted AJ's first pitch -- a high and inside 96-mph fastball -- to deep left for a three-run home run.
David Ortiz doubled and Kevin Youkilis singled him in and Boston led 4-2.

Nick Cafardo, Globe:
Your starting shortstop, third baseman, right fielder, and No. 1 pitcher are out with injuries. One of your young starters was so bad he had to be demoted to Double A. You lost to a division rival, 11-0, yesterday as your other top hurler, Jon Lester, was pummeled and lasted 2.1 innings. Your wild-card lead is teetering.David Ortiz:
How are you feeling right about now?
We'll be fine, bro. We go through this shit every year. At the end of the day, we'll take another ring with us.***

«Oldest ‹Older 401 – 499 of 499A.J. Pierzynski... ACTOR OF THE YEAR. That was awesome!
I love how the umpires confer... ALL FOUR umpires, and they move him to THIRD!
god these tv guys are splooging over pierzynski
Has Maddon Magic run its course?
his instincts are amazing. yeah OK.
meanwhile ozzie has a messahe for the FKR
TBS guys see that as a terrible call.
Pierzynski with a soccer-like dive. He should get a yellow card.
It's sad for baseball when umps blow a call like that, but it's also sad for the FKR.
oh god i cannot take these tv guys. i'll watch in silence, thanx
Aybar gets the "error" too.
it is a terrible call ...
... heh heh heh ...
Chip Caray and Buck Martinez on TBS.
Maddon going with 5 infielders...
Walking the bases loaded. A HBP wins it.
girardi i like some he-man version of ben stiller.
IS like, rather
This reminds me of the Red Sox doing the five infielders thing.
Line drive up the middle could be an inside-the-park grandslam.
this batter is skinny!
GAME OVER!!!!!
tryin for the salami dong right away - come on asshole, just one.
FKR LOSE
THE RAYS LOSE
THHEWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE RAYS LOSE
good work alexei --
now over to baltimore!
Now if only Baltimore could eke out a win.
and a different ramirez gives us a mummy!!!
That YeeYes! thing they do when they win is really comical. But the FKR finally lose, and on a really weird 10th inning, too.
fruitbat in in the 8th, 2 outs, bird on first, 8-7 ny
this is mo's first batter. marte was in before
CI 0-for-5.
Payton still sucks.
that was inside, ump giving f-bat extra inches
Aw, shit, I can't watch the MFY choking cause I'm in VA. Oh, well... they'll still choke without me.
the O's suck.
mlb sucks for many reason,s but damn, it is amazing having the ability to watch all these games via computer.
maybe they can get lucky with a one-swing dong in the bottom half.
off to make tea.
I think today's game might have been the first butterfly-inducing, must-win game of the summer.
The final sign off from TBS: The Rays over the White Sox, 6-5....
Os remain fairly useless.
who's up? dave roberts?
The final sign off from TBS: The Rays over the White Sox, 6-5....
Shit, I was so confident in them losing, after I saw them lose. Guess we'll have to wait for another day. Fucking Rays.
ALIVE!
...
BB - that's how it starts!
4 pitch walk for Mo
steal second, Dave Roberts...
One swing = win.
Do it.
GET IT DONE!!!!!!
Nicely done.
I think today's game might have been the first butterfly-inducing, must-win game of the summer.
Me too. Seems like many others felt that way.
Roberts steals second, advances to third on the E2!
SB - E2
man on third.
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
And he DOES steal! And goes to third! Come on, wild pitch..
same pitc mo got last inning called a ball there. 1-2.
Boo.
right down the fucking middle you cunt
fucknuts
nice pitch. fucking o's.
Damn.
Oh well.
Tuesday is going to be fun.
why do batters always deliberately stand there and let rivera strike them out? why?
right down the middle of the right gutter
Well, with the MFY sweeping the O's, I think my last place Yankees dream is shattered. Wait till next year, I guess.
Tuesday is going to be fun.
The Yankees are dead, now we need to properly dispose of the corpse.
Since I don't have anything better to do, I'll now watch the end of the Twins game
Well, with the MFY sweeping the O's, I think my last place Yankees dream is shattered. Wait till next year, I guess.
It can still happen... right?
Of course, the other side is true. Can you believe people still think the Yankees still have a comeback in them?
TUES WED THURS IS YET ANOTHER CHANCE FOR US TO PUT THEM AWAY.
PLEASE GET IT DONE, I"LL BE THROWING UP THE WHOLE TIME.
Oh, fuck, bad timing.
LAAAAAAAAAAAAA now trailing only 3-2.
I think L heard the Jays announcers saying they needed to do well in the Sox series to keep their playoff hopes alive.
PLEASE! That is laughable. And the Yankees are only a 2-3 games better than Toronto.
OK, good timing. Reversed HR call, it was foul.
MIN: 101 001 0
LAA: 000 001 1
There has been no work here. What will I do when this Twins game is done?
MIN: 101 001 00

CAN THE AC of AHH win today too?
I think L heard the Jays announcers saying they needed to do well in the Sox series to keep their playoff hopes alive.
Oh, yeah, they were talking about the game being a critical one for both teams' postseason hopes, and about how you have to give credit to Ricciardi for not trading Burnett, because that would've been throwing the towel, and they wouldn't be contending without his 6 straight wins. Talk about delusions.
:D
There has been no work here. What will I do when this Twins game is done?
Wait 2 hours and watch Manny over in LA?
BTW, did you catch soft-spoken Gretchen Bliler (or however you spell that) in the Yahoo Sports ad yet?
Tying run for the LAA on 2nd with 0 outs.

Forgot.
Better tune in.
I can't believe I'm putting my earphones on to hear a commercial.
Right now, I'm getting 2 rounds of a Sharp TV commercial.
Vlad up with tying run on 2nd. 0 outs.
Hacking away!
TRIPLE off CF Wall.
tied!
Gomez played that poorly, like LBJ at Fenway, leapt too soon and off line.
LA better take the lead here.
Guy on 3rd, 0 outs.
I can't believe I'm putting my earphones on to hear a commercial.
I hope I didn't build up any expectations... she just doesn't talk like an idiot, nothing more than that.
I'm scared I may have to listen to Michael Kay a couple of times this week.
Torii K.
mrs. garrett vs fraiser crain.
ANDERSON TRIPLE TO RIGHT!!!!!!!
4-3 LA
Two triples in an inning for LAAA. Looks like the Twins are going back to second place.
Someone just left a comment on that blown Eddings call post a while back ("Out"). She says Eddings was the main ump who blew the interference call in the FKR game?
Yep, Eddings was the 2B ump!
BTW, if KRod somehow wins the Cy Young, it will be a disgrace. Rivera and Papelbon are both having better years than Krod and his 2 K/BB ratio.
BOS looking at Mark Kotsay?
...
serious disgrace.
MLBTR: Jed Lowrie's play since taking over for the injured Julio Lugo has convinced the Red Sox that he can be the everyday shortstop. They'll look to move Lugo (and his contract) this offseason."
I know that seems like a no-brainer to us, but it's the first time I've really seen it mentioned.
gotta say - i want frod to blow it.
fuck -- jesus what a huge to the heavens gesture.
what a colossal a-hole
Twins lose. Good day.
I think L heard the Jays announcers saying they needed to do well in the Sox series to keep their playoff hopes alive.
They said the Jays had "an outside chance" of still making the playoffs and needed to do really well against the Sox to keep that alive.
But they are obviously under orders to try to boost attendance.
Can anyone say why Kevin Millar is now in possession of a "Hitler moustache", for lack of a better term?

Manny gets booed in PHI... Faces Joe Blanton, takes one good rip then gets plunked on the arm.

Cause he's not getting enough attention without weird facial hair?
