Orioles - 000 100 001 - 2 8 0A perfect night.
Red Sox - 004 610 21x - 14 20 0
Red Sox win -- and the Rays, Twins and White Sox all lose. Tampa's lead in the East is cut to four games and Boston's lead in the WC is now four games over both Chicago and Minnesota.
Yankees 7, Rays 2***
Blue Jays 7, Twins 5
Spiders 9, White Sox 3
Radhames Liz (6.95, 63 ERA+) / Jon Lester (3.41, 132 ERA+)
Liz faced the Red Sox on July 12 and they totally abused him: 2.1-6-8-3-2, 61. In his 21-game major league career, he has allowed 89 hits and 61 walks in only 81.2 innings -- a whopping 1.789 WHIP. More destruction should occur tonight.
Lester faced Baltimore about two weeks ago, on August 18: 7-4-1-1-5, 103.
Mike Lowell and Josh Beckett both seem on pace to return Friday night in Texas. Lowell thinks playing on Friday is "a legit possibility". J.D. Drew could come off the DL today, but he's not ready.
Dustin Pedroia scored 33 runs in August. Last night, he set a new Red Sox team record for hits by a 2B (he has 184, breaking Del Pratt's 1922 mark of 183).FY has also stolen 17 bases in 18 attempts; his 94.4% rate is the best in the AL among players with at least 15 attempts. If he can maintain that rate, it would be the best for any Red Sox player with at least 10 attempts since 1956.
Also at 7 PM: Yankees/Rays, Twins/Blue Jays, and White Sox/Spiders.

Ish, what is the significance of your comments about memory being used? And how can you tell?
I love the internet, but I still have no clue how it all works!
If you press control+alt+delete, then go into the "processes" tab, it'll list every program that is running, and tell you how much memory it's using.
That's Papi's way of channeling his power into Pedroia.
So tomorrow the Orioles are going to piece together the entire game with the bullpen.
Shemp single. 6-1 MFY.
How about Papi, huh? 3 for 3, 4 RBI
Guthrie has been scratched for tomorrow's start because of arm fatigue.
This year will not be without a big Red Sox/Yankees postseason series.
Pawtucket Red Sox will play the Scranton Yankees to begin the AAA playoffs tomorrow.
In fact, four Red Sox minor league affiliates have reached the playoffs in their leagues.
Kotsay's quietly having a good night too.
Hey, hey, hey, love to come home to these kinds of scores.
Almost Timlin Proof!
Hmm. When you re-load the game thread, Chrome automatically scrolls down to close to the bottom of the screen.
H & R with Tek?
Thanks, Ish, re checking memory usage. But what do your comparisons of Firefox and Chrome mean? Chrome is supposedly using less memory, right?
I just am not sure I like the interface. E.g., it isn't obvious how you print a page. Is there a home page option?
I guess there isn't much to worry about in the game if I am asking these questions.
It seems like Chrome is using the same amount of memory no matter what you do. Firefox fluctuates depending on what you do. Seems like Chrome uses less memory for the most part.
Well now all of a sudden, Chrome has like, 7 instances open. So it is using more memory. Cock.
Chrome just froze up on me for the first time.
Crispy DP :(
Yook scratched - still sickly or something new?
Red Sox record after 137 games...
2008: 80-57
2007: 82-55
Hey, Sosock. Youk was scratched just before the game started - back spasms.
Back spasms.
Yeesh, can we get any more banged up?
maybe I shouldn't ask that.
Gasp. A Red Sox catcher using a hockey-style mask.
Tomorrow will tie the all-time sell out record.
Which is good, because every game, they keep talking about it how many straight sell-outs there've been.
Not like they're going to just, stop, though.
So, the new kid uses the hockey mask, eh?
Almost all my little leauers do now. Well, the ones who catch as their regular position anyway.
Also, where are my bookmarks/favorites?
So far I am not seeing any advantages to this, and I face a learning curve that I have no time to deal with except during a laugher like this one!

sill hitting in 7th
Jere will be there. He figured out quite a while back, or more likely read somewhere, which game it would be and has had tix for a while.
So wait... is Cash the DH now?
Yes he is.
Even Cash getting hits.
Good looking updates RS.
If all scores hold it's a 4 for 4 night :)
I am definitely in love with this guy.
Come on. Have you ever seen a guy hit the ball like this? It was shoulder-high!
I love Hernandez's reaction.
Don't know if I agree with pulling Tiz. Sure, you wouldn't want him to get hurt at this point of a blowout, but he seems to be getting back in a groove. Let him roll!
Other side - he's 3 for 3, let him stop while he's on a high. Keep it going tomorrow.
Who knows?
Who in the American League has a better show NOW; better deserving, than Pedroia for MVP?
First major-league ribeye for Van Every!
Pedroia > anything you can name.
5 RBI already.
Crazy like a fox!
I am definitely in love with this guy.
OK, 5 RBI night is pretty good. On PTI, they had a really funny discussion this afternoon about whether HY should be insulted by Ozzie Guillen calling him a "jockey." They concurred that he should take it as a compliment.
re: chrome
You can select to have a home page button in options. Also in the tools menu is a developer menu with a task manager built in. It will show you down to the process what is using the memory within chrome. So you can see what plugin or what frame is using the most memory. They will add a button bar soon i think so there will be a print icon. They just wanted to get it out with the simplest interface. What is good is that when it freezes it should only be one tab. if you dump that tab the rest of the browser still works so you dont lose everything you were doing.
The up scroll with a touch pad is not working Amy. I sent it in as a bug.
I believe this officially qualifies as a good old fashioned ass-whupping.
And to make it even better, one of the ladies from Temple brought some home-made chicken soup that is absolutely devine. HUGE chunks of fresh cut chicken that flake off your fork more like a good salmon would.
mmmmmmmm
Heh. Another blog writer I read once in awhile calls Sarah Palin the "Glenn Geffner of politics."
Ish, who would that be? I might have to pay a visit :)
My sister, who is a devout republican, spoke of Palin thusly
"OMG, have you checked out gal he chose? She's conservative and I mean SCARY conservative. And I'm not one to be scared by conservative, but her, I don't know."
That's awful damn close to verbatim. But I still doubt she'll vote for Obama. dammit
Looks like we will move up on everybody today. What I noticed is the Rays would always win when we did and lose when we did for the most part.
Hi all. Just got home. I see I missed some fireworks.
Sosock: here.
This really is getting to be a joke.
18 hits now!

Thanks, Andy. I was starting to wonder whether it was my touchpad, except that it works on Firefox.
I will stick with Firefox for now. One thing that surprised me is that Chrome does not include even the Google Toolbar. I rely on it for my bookmarks, which were not imported into Chrome. Not worth the trouble to recreate them.
As with VCRs, digital cameras, cell phones, I will wait til everyone else has it and they improve it before getting hooked!
McCain's VP pick
Just look at this picture and picture this woman as the vice president. And furthermore, if McCain croaks... the President!
Thanks Ish. I believe I've been there before. Bookmarked now.
Was it here or at Soxaholics maybe where I saw the link to VPILF?
Hilarious - especially the shirt that says - VPILF ; Just a hearbeat away from being pilf
Hi all. Just got home. I see I missed some fireworks.
HY has 5 RBIs!
I wonder what they think of the comments section of blogger. The font size discrepancy.
Heh. Another blog writer I read once in awhile calls Sarah Palin the "Glenn Geffner of politics."
I have a feeling by the time all is said and done Thomas Eagleton will be a better analogy.
HY? You mean FY?
more like VPILFBINWBSSCWPSMIIA... VPILF that I never will because she's so conservative and will probably shoot me if I asked...
Wow, that picture is scary. But the thought of McCain as president is even scarier.
Although I wish she'd get contacts. Can't stand those glasses.
Shatner loses the DH, probably will not matter.
Pepe doesn't use foul language, Laura, so he calls FY Heck Yeah.
You guys wait til I'm not around to talk about wingnuts?
Well, her bikini sure does reflect McCain's campaign slogan of "Country first"... I wonder if she's standing on the Alaska/Canadian border, just waiting for someone to sneak out of the country. Or in!
Heck Yeah? Cute.
QUIZNOZBALLA
Actually I brought up Palin about five minutes before you showed up. Good timing!
Her rifle scares me more than her bikini.
Wheels.
what is that - pedroia's 85th 3-hit game this year????
Amy the bookmarks thing should have imported them when you installed the browser unless you had firefox going at the same time then it would not. If you go into options you can tell it to import the bookmarks. Blogger is a google app so they will probably fix the text. I will send it in too.
283 total bases for FY... Bobby Doerr's record 304 for RS 2B in 1950.
I am excited about Palin. I can look at her for days. It's about time an attractive person is in washington.
Only bad part about it being 14-1.. FY probably won't steal here.
20 hits. Love it.
Pauley's faced four men... They've all grounded to Lowrie.
I don't find secessionists sexy.
Jennifer Granholm's sexier. Plus she was born in Vancouver.
Five! Only this time Lowrie couldn't get it over there in time.
Andy, it imported by Firefox and IE bookmarks, but I use the Google toolbar on the other browsers, which has its own bookmarks that travel with me wherever I have a computer with the Google toolbar. Chrome did not import those or the toolbar.
Secessionists could be sexy if there were from Vermont. Or Staten Island.
Infield fly, but no IFR.
Castro didn't run... Pauley was able to play soccer and still get him out.
I am excited about Palin. I can look at her for days. It's about time an attractive person is in washington.
You must have been ga-ga over Coulter.
Staten Island secessionists are republicans, though.
True, but I couldn't wait for them to make good on their threat. Our loss would have been our gain.
Baby Pedroia.
He isn't a hair taller today.
Does Cindy McCain remind anyone else of the Stepford Wives?
Water.
First round of dirty water is on me!
Amy the toolbar will come. This is day one. They will fix some of what we talked about tonight.
Perfect night.
We win and the Rays, Twins and White Sox lose.
4 GB in East
4 GA in WC
These are all great.
FKR are still in the bottom of the ninth, albeit down 7-2.
Is TB a final yet?
I just don't trust those damn Yankees, even with a 5 run lead.
GDGD has the Jacoby "assist" from the top of the 2nd.
(The video, I mean.)
Peña up with two out in the bottom of the ninth.
Phil, thanks for that link, great stuff!
Of course, the only mark against this perfection is that the MFY had to win to accomplish it. But I can live with it, and even hope they win again tomorrow. Though if we gain another game tomorrow it'll be hard to pull for them to sweep.
Rays lose!
Baby Paps.
The bottom line is the Red Sox need to win... You don't lose ground if you don't lose. You can root for the Yankees all you want, as hard as you want, as long as the Red Sox win.
Rays lose!
True, dat.
Baby Papi.
Remember that wild ATL-FLA game?
Top 9th...
ATL 105 404 00 - 14 18 3
FLA 300 640 01 - 14 15 0
Routine grounder in LA for Angel Berroa... He fields it, goes to throw it, but the ball fell inside his shirt!
Over - and within 4!
Great link Phil :)
Mas tarde
Heh, NESN showing Pedroia batting .625 in the cleanup spot.
Try going here Amy:

22 of A-Rod's 30 home runs this year... Solo shots.
Lieberman: "John McCain is no ordinary candidate."
Made me snicker.
A-rod hits homers like lugo hit singles, when they don't help.
I was watching the RNC too. The major nets were stepping all over Fred Thompson and he is actually entertaining.
Phil, those baby Sox photos are so cute! Almost as cute as my Tek avatar!
Today was a good day.
Red Sox won.
Evil Rays lost.
Chisox lost.
Twinkies lost.
Yankees won (Neh!)
and the co-chair of the Repubnican party called Sarah Palin "Sarah Pawlenty."
Solo shots.
He's batting behind Damon, Jeter, and Abreu.
For what it's worth, here are the OBP rankings:
1. Red Sox (.360)
2. Cubs (.357)
3. Cardinals (.351)
4. Rangers (.350)
5. MFY (.344)
6. Tigers (.342)
7. Braves (.342)
8. Rockies (.341)
9. Mets (.340)
10. FKR (.339)
(As of this morning.)
First time Atlanta has allowed 14 runs and won since July 1951.
You know what? Good luck does not last into October. I think the Rays will look stupid. I would rather face the Angels for 5 games and the Rays for 7. No the Central team will not make it out of the first round but good things do happen sometimes since those teams and the Rays are about the same level in my opinion.
Can we just give the MVP to Dustin now? Love the blog! :) Go Sox!
kinda late here, but the person who was going with me to Wednesday's game is not. So, I have one extra ticket to the game.
Any JoSer want to meet up and get a ticket off me (face value)? Unless you moved somewhere else, you'd be stuck sitting next to me in section 16. Bonus point if you're somewhere around western mass and want to ride with me.

Good luck doesn't play at .618, either.
Is there anyone watching baseball who still thinks the Rays are doing this with smoke and mirrors??
Their averages are not that good. They are ahead of their expected by quite a bit. They just are not that solid in my opinion.
