G146: Red Sox 7, Blue Jays 0

Blue Jays - 000 000 000 - 0  3  2
Red Sox - 010 100 23x - 7 8 0
Wakefield mixed in a lot of fastballs and curves and had a superb night in the Boston rain: 8-3-0-0-4, 94. (Toronto's only baserunners of the night in bold.)

MDC pitched the 9th. ... It was the Red Sox's 15th shutout of the season -- tops in MLB.

Jed Lowrie had a great night: a sac fly in the second, an RBI double in the 4th, a double and a run scored in the seventh, and a 9-pitch walk and a run scored in the eighth.

David Ortiz doubled the Sox's lead from 2-0 to 4-0 with a two-run double in the seventh and Kevin Cash put the game on ice with a three-run dong in the eighth.

All other games involving East and wild card contenders were rained out. Boston is 2 GB in the East and 6 GA in the wild card.

***

David Purcey (5.23, 81 ERA+) / Tim Wakefield (4.11, 110 ERA+)

It will be four games in three days for the Red Sox against a team which has won 11 of its last 12 games.

LHP Purcey is a rookie who will be making his 11th start of the season. Check out his game log. Lately, he has been either superb (eight shutout innings over the FKR in his start) or terrible.

Alex Rios has hit in 12 straight games and has a .435/.458/.870 line in September. Lyle Overbay is also hot this month (.382/.400/.735). ... The Red Sox's September stats are here.

J.D. Drew's back stiffened up before Wednesday's game against the Rays and he is a question mark for tonight.

Terry Francona must stop penciling Jacoby Ellsbury in at leadoff spot. His OBP at the top of the lineup this season is a .311. His 1st inning OBP is a paltry .280.

All of Ellsbury's 21 starts since August 14 have been at the #1 spot: .221/.275/.305 -- no hits, no walks, no power. And he's batting only .172 this month (5-for-29).

    FUNIX= RESPECT....Good for Coco he pretty much has kept his mouth shut about playing time, and as of late has hit pretty well. Makes him a stand up guy in my book..

  5. I hope they play this game....

    Weather?

    I have to do an interview at 7, so a one-hour rain delay would be nice.

    ReplyDelete
  6. Don't let it annoy you too much. The Red Sox have a much larger run differential because they're a better hitting team. So they score more runs in blowouts and their expected W-L record gets inflated a bit; whereas the Rays and Angels have better pitching staffs and win more close games.

    ReplyDelete
  7. Will be four games within 48 hours this weekend.

    ReplyDelete
  8. the weather lady on nesn just said it should only be a short delay.
    whether she really knows the weather, is a different story.

    ReplyDelete
  9. "The best of both worlds is finally here. In a long-awaited win-win for fans everywhere, Major League Baseball Advanced Media announced on Wednesday that MLB.TV Premium subscribers now have the choice of the home or away broadcast feed in every live game."

    ReplyDelete
  10. Extra Bases says they're aiming for a 7:45 start.

    L gets her wish.

    ReplyDelete
  11. If they offer both TV feeds, could I watch a Sox-Jays game on NESN even though Buffyvision would be blacked out for me?


    I have the cheap 400k mlbtv so I can't get it, but I see the NESN and Rogers logos to click on.

    ReplyDelete
  12. Five games currently delayed and two more postponed.

    ReplyDelete
  13. If they offer both TV feeds, could I watch a Sox-Jays game on NESN even though Buffyvision would be blacked out for me?

    "Blackout and other restrictions apply"

    Based on what I'm seeing, if the game is blacked out for you, it's blacked out on both feeds.

    (Which makes a certain kind of sense, at least if you are able to apply "sense" to the blackout rules, sigh. In this view, it would make a lot more sense to give you only the home feed, complete with the home feed's commercials.)

    ReplyDelete
  14. L gets her wish.

    Is this still true? I'm off the phone and ready for baseball.

    Does this mean no more whining when we get the wrong feed? We can just switch?

    ReplyDelete
  16. If they can somehow get both TV feeds into the EI package for each game, I'll be a very happy man.

    ReplyDelete
  17. L: It's only for the website right now. Not TV.

    ReplyDelete
  18. The cat is mesmerized by this montage of defensive gems.

    ReplyDelete
  19. That is key, the "both feeds" thing.

    ReplyDelete
  20. L: It's only for the website right now. Not TV.

    Oh. Boo.

    ReplyDelete
  21. Cool, I can watch this Curb episode--hope the game doesn't start till 8.

    ReplyDelete
  22. Looks like it'll get underway soon.

    ReplyDelete
  23. "Looks like it'll get underway soon."

    Wow, they're just gonna play in the rain--here we go. Strike one.

    ReplyDelete
  24. Good start, but I'm concerned about the knuckleball in the drizzle.

    ReplyDelete
  25. I will have to stay clear of GDGD.

    It's 2 pitches ahead of the radio!

    ReplyDelete
  26. Time for Buffyvision and laundry folding. Looks like it's pouring in Boston.

    ReplyDelete
  27. We kinda need this game. Not NEED, but should win it...given the pitching matchups we're facing. Toronto thinks they're contending and are pulling out the stops here.

    Given tomorrow's double header, it's no wonder they're trying to play this game?

    How's the rain? And why worry particularly about the knuckler in it?

    ReplyDelete
  28. True re Toronto. Much talk of them making a run for the wild card. Kinda hard to believe, but I guess they want to create excitement.

    ReplyDelete
  29. delayed ain't just a group of non-virgins

    ReplyDelete
  30. Wow, camera sees Coco putting glove up, then pans up at wall for some reason, getting back on Coco just barely in time to see him make catch at far bottom of screen.

    ReplyDelete
  31. Seems kinda crazy to play in this weather. I know it's a scheduling thing, but still.

    ReplyDelete
  32. Yeah, de-laid took me a moment too.

    ReplyDelete
  33. so you had a group of non-virgins reaction?

    ReplyDelete
  34. coco -- I knew DOn would say "battling the raindrops"!

    ReplyDelete
  35. 4pitchBB, nice. Sledge is losin' it.

    ReplyDelete
  36. what a fool! "Catch the ball!" --Mariano Rivera. Eh, NESN thinks it may have hit too high on the wall, too bad they only had one shot of it. With all those cameras and all...

    ReplyDelete
  37. Bay almost got screwed by ball hitting ump, but gets to 2nd w/out throw

    ReplyDelete
  38. group of nonvirgin reactions... can't go with that one.

    maybe a fucked reaction would be better. get rid of the virgin thing.

    ReplyDelete
  39. the longer you keep your boys out there, Sledge, the worse the field gets...

    ReplyDelete
  40. but then it would have to be da'fucked reaction. Or group of fucked people reaction. I vote for the end of this conversation:)

    ReplyDelete
  41. Jere, just tell me this. Are you threading more than one game here?

    ReplyDelete
  42. I am threading one game. What's goin' on?

    ReplyDelete
  43. Coco's move with the bat between his legs was, um, interesting.

    ReplyDelete
  44. i get it.

  47. Cash tried to sell that walk but isn't a very good salesman. He should think twice before joining Mirabelli on the Home Shopping circuit.

    ReplyDelete
  48. that may have been catchable....

    ReplyDelete
  49. It wasn't just the productive/unproductive. I haven't understand half of Jere's comments tonight. (Please don't count, it might not be half.)

    Who is Sledge? Why the Mariano Rivera quote? What was the cat mesmerized by?

    Maybe it's the NESN vs Buffy feed. We are watching the same game, but different games.

    ReplyDelete
  50. no, a little too high, despite what Remy said. I think.

    ReplyDelete
  51. still, Coco, give it a shot, and Bay will play the carom if nec. you know this.

    ReplyDelete
  52. Purcey Sledge.

    The Jays outfielder let the ball land right next to him, hence catch the ball.

    The cat was watching the rain delay show on NESN, it was highlights from the season so far.

    ReplyDelete
  53. thank you :)

    i was about to type "don't worry about answering all that"

    ReplyDelete
  54. It's Krazy Eyes Killah's third commercial (that I've noticed) since his role on Curb. (The actor who played Krazy. Who was a character on the show. Funny to see him play these straight roles after being a gangsta rapper.)

    ReplyDelete
  55. this late start suited me fine, i haven't missed much. Holla!

    ReplyDelete
  56. Self-congratulation on NESN? no way!

    ReplyDelete
  57. ha, Don's 1000th game, they're showing him getting a cake, blowing out candles from earlier.

    Dubblin' Pedroia.

  58. Don now saying stuff he'd be remiss without saying.

  59. Got a reply re long rundowns:

    Phillies-Astros
    May 8, 2001
    Top 6th, Enron Field, Houston.

    PHILLIES 6TH: Rollins singled to right; Abreu struck out while Rollins was caught stealing second (catcher to shortstop to first to second to pitcher to second to first to second to catcher to shortstop); Rolen flied to center.

    2-6-3-4-1-4-3-4-2-6

    ReplyDelete
  60. That is a seriously long run-down.

    ReplyDelete
  61. Nice. Rollins also made an out to left, giving him 123467 for that game.

    ReplyDelete
  62. I got some other info on another rundown that was supposedly twice or three times as long. Gotta check it out.

    ReplyDelete
  63. also, holy shit that's a long pickle

    ReplyDelete
  64. three times as long would be THIRTY guys!

    ReplyDelete
  65. I also like this line from that box:

    FIELDING -
    DP: 2. Hayes-Bagwell, Ausmus-Vizcaino-Bagwell-Biggio-Lima-Biggio-Bagwell-Biggio-Ausmus-Vizcaino.

    ReplyDelete
  66. Full ad in between batters. FULL AD, the whole screen, in the middle of an inning.

    It occurs to me I haven't complained to anyone but you guys and wmtc readers about this. I gotta email Rogers Sports.

    ReplyDelete
  67. How long can they keep going in this rain? It's getting messier and messier.

    ReplyDelete
  68. I guess they're trying to get the official game in. It does seem crazy.

    ReplyDelete
  69. DH tomorrow, gotta play through.

    Rays also will play 2 tomorrow.

    ReplyDelete
  70. Red Barber once wrote about a triple play he saw in spring training that went:

    5-2-6-2-5-1-7-4-7-8-5-4-6-4-3-4-9-6-3

    I'm trying to figure out (a) if it's true and (b) when it happened.

    ReplyDelete
  71. it'll be like the old days. a slate full o' doubleheaders on a weekend day.

    ReplyDelete
  72. Without TV/replay, how in the hell would you remember the sequence?

    ReplyDelete
  73. let's say we're two back after tonight. At the end of tomorrow, we'd be anywhere from tied to 4 back of Tampa.

  75. you'd have to be taking notes during the play! Or ask a bunch of the fielders themselves afterwards and piece it together. Counting throws while it happens would help too.

    ReplyDelete
  76. 10 "players" vs 19 "players" - only twice as long!

    ReplyDelete
  77. Without TV/replay, how in the hell would you remember the sequence?

    Could you scribble the numbers down as you saw them? Pencil in one hand, eyes on the field, just writing 2, 3, 1, 3, etc.?

    Because you couldn't possibly remember them without seeing and studying the numbers.

    ReplyDelete
  78. whoa, crazy ass hops. I think the SS did have a chance, since Bay slipped out of the box

    ReplyDelete
  79. the catcher with all his gear on makes him visible--like, you'd have to remember when he was catching/throwing. At least moreso than the others.

    ReplyDelete
  80. hey, hey, hey
    It's my 1st NESN game!
    Bonus ESPN coverage due to the rain in NY.
    Lucky me!

    ReplyDelete
  81. June 8, 1914 PIT @ PHI
    In the home 4th, Fred Luderus hit a line drive to the [high] brick wall in deep centerfield where it stuck. Luderus circled the bases while CF Kelly "danced frantically underneath but the ball would not fall". Apparently a piece of brick was missing - forming a hole where the ball stuck in the "jagged edges of two broken bricks" for the first true inside-the-park homer.

  82. Julio Lugo says I am the shortstop! oh wait

    ReplyDelete
  83. Again with the Lowrie. 2-0 us. Three outs till it's official, too.

    ReplyDelete
  84. I love that the national audience got the bullpen band right away.

    ReplyDelete
  85. Bullpen band nonexistent on Buffyvision.

    ReplyDelete
  86. We're supposed to have torrential rains all over the GTA tomorrow. Very bad for all the rallies and demos. Boo.

    ReplyDelete
  87. Went out to eat with the folks (Clemmons Kitchen,mmmmm).
    They came by to visit after and I have been sitting here fighting the urge to go to the puter and check the score. Dad brought up the subject of the Braves, his team, and I quickly said,"well let's see if we can find a game and get some scores".
    We watched some of Pit-StL on ESPN, and just as Mom and Dad were saying bye they showed the official announcement of the postponement at the Toilet and then switched to Boston.
    Meant to be!
    Hot Damn!

    ReplyDelete
  88. Buffy planting the tired excuse. "There's no question who's the more rested team..." with the run down of who played when and where.

    ReplyDelete
  89. NESN goes green after ball is hit--recovers to see Lowell making play. that was weird.

    ReplyDelete
  90. Evening, chaps. Nice looking score. Maybe in an inning or so the heavens could open and the game could be called. All the other games just about have been PPD.

    ReplyDelete
  91. sox are more tired - they went to japan.

    ReplyDelete
  92. OK, I hear you guys talk about them all the time. Who's who here?
    Commentator-wise I mean.

    ReplyDelete
  93. So a friend of mine, out of the blue, gave me two tickets to the first game against the Arachnids at Fenway. :D

    ReplyDelete
  94. When that camera went green--I think they lost its feed. Because now after the ball's hit, we're seeing this really low angle from behind the plate.

    ReplyDelete
  95. Jerry is the former player with the mustache and the Boston accent.

    Don is the pasty-faced guy with the nice radio voice who drones on and on with meaningless factoids.

    ReplyDelete
  96. Ish, nice! Gifts from the baseball gods.

    (You know, those nonexistent bbgs.)

    ReplyDelete
  97. Nice, Ish, I'll be at the second one. --oh, wait, you mean Arachnid like Spider, as opposed to what I've always called the Arachnids, the Yanks, with their Arachnid-looking NY.

    Okay, so I'll be at the first Cleveland Arachnid game and the second NY Arachnid game.

    I'll be there on the 22nd, against the Indians/Spiders/Arachnids/Still-Not-Tribe-Time

  105. very nice pitch by Wake to K his ass

    ReplyDelete
  106. atta boy Wake. I mean, atta man.

    ReplyDelete
  107. OK, my 1st taste of NESN. I guess I'm not getting the ads I hear you talk about because they go to ESPN's ads.
    Wake's ball is moving pretty well to be so wet there. It's typically better in a dry atmosphere, which we do NOT have here.

    ReplyDelete
  108. sosock, have you thought about getting EI on your cable? Or mlb.tv? Or just not feasible?

    ReplyDelete
  109. Wow, Wake is dealing tonight. I don't know why some Sox fans don't like him. I think he's great.
    JEEEEEDDDDDD!!! is an RBI machine!

    ReplyDelete
  110. Sec 22 in the loge--depending on your row, you may be in the *secret* foul ball spot. I don't know if you know this, but since last year, the home plate screen, which you'll be underneath, has holes in it where it meets the facade. A lot of balls that roll up it drop straight down. If you're right under a hole, and in row--FF, I believe? around there--your chances of getting a foul ball increase dramatically.

    ReplyDelete
  111. "Wake is dealing tonight. I don't know why some Sox fans don't like him. I think he's great."

    Seems like one of the more beloved Sox to me.

    ReplyDelete
  112. I mean, I definitely don't hear too many complaints about Wake in this great season he's having.

    ReplyDelete
  113. wow, NESN having serioues cam trouble now. Ball hit, cut to camera showing nothing, cut to another camera showing a close-up of the warning track, cut to Kotsay with ball in glove. They've clearly lost that main cam that they usually cut to after the ball is hit.

    ReplyDelete
  114. I haven't clicked the link--but I'm guessing "Ess-actly"?

    ReplyDelete
  115. Well, there's a lot, a lot of culture.

    ReplyDelete
  116. Ah, I was wrong--but I see it's the one where the guy says Philly is a little New York. Ha.

  117. No idea how or where to get a copy of the Manny ad. I'd really like it, though.

    Oh, you're preaching to the choir. I've just heard so many Sox fans say, "Oh, he sucks," etc., and I keep thinking "are you talking about the same Wakefield I know of???" Also, isn't he a Clemente finalist or something?

    ReplyDelete
  119. Pedroia has a laser gun, Lowrie has the light saber!

    ReplyDelete
  120. There was someone here earlier this year who was complaining big time about Wake. I forget who that was.

    Youk is the Sox' Clemente representative. (I just happened to be there that day and saw him get the nod.)

    Oh, wait, no RBI this time. What a schmuck.

    ReplyDelete
  125. sosock--I thought you were getting the NESN feed. NESN is not breaking away for ads in mid inning, which I think the Jays' feed is, if I'm understanding correctly.

    (NESN has "spots" done by the announcers, but not separate ads mid-at bat or even mid half inning.)

    ReplyDelete
  126. Going back to that Buffy comment--I love how the Jays were totally fine and rested for their, what, 10-game winning streak?--until they reach Fenway.

    ReplyDelete
  127. 116 pitches -- cito leaves the young arm in.

    ReplyDelete
  128. OK, they did not break away, just showed a graphic at the bottom, and one of them (Remy, I'm guessing) does the talking, finishing up pretty much as the pitcher starts his motion.

    ReplyDelete
  129. if the guy reading the promo can't get through it without butchering at least 5 words, that's remy.

    Oh, you're right. I wonder if I'm thinking of another year.

    ReplyDelete
  131. Row NN, okay, so almost up to the first row of blue seats--which, behind the plate, I believe is for families and stuff. So you could have Mrs. Rod Barajas kicking the back of your seat. But fear not, you're close enough to that screen hole spot where balls may reach you if they roll off the end of the screen without hitting the facing of the roof. OR, you'll at least be able to move up a few rows in the last few innings, depending on the score.

    4-0! Papi almost coulda had a 3b there--gladly take the 2B though.

    ReplyDelete
  132. Oh wait, unless Mrs. Rod Barajas is having an affair with an Indian, you won't get her. Maybe Jhonny's Wfie.

  136. Watching this really cool webcast - satellite transmissions from CNN... Showing live shots between broadcasts. Behind the scenes stuff.

    "I was supposed to come on in the A slot. Now they don't know if I can get in the other at all? That's fucking horseshit!"

  141. Wake's at 94 pitches. Will they send him out for the 9th?

  142. Wake, you magnificent relic of a bygone era.

  143. Well even though my theory is always "never take Wake out," I think it really applies here. Nope--Pap warming. Why Pap, of all those guys? Three games in the next two days--I'd like to have him available for two!

  144. Hi everyone. I have been without internet all day. What an odd experience.

    I am so happy to see Wake has been so good tonight. Too bad the Rays got rained out.

  147. Hi Amy - I had assumed you went to a service. Not so, eh?

  148. if wake feels fine, let him go:

    11-15-12 8-17-16 5-10 = 94

    ReplyDelete
  149. of course, let Wake finish--but DO said it appears he's done, and Pap is warming.

    ReplyDelete
  150. radio said pap is not up - but maybe he's warm enough now

    ReplyDelete
  151. I think you send out Wake, but have a short leash.
    Runner going!

    ReplyDelete
  152. well Jed, you've made us wait this long, gotta knock in the run now. not that you haven't done enough already....

    ReplyDelete
  153. They DID show Pap in the pen warming.

    (I'm SO excited. I get to report stuff that others can't see!)

  154. Watching Anderson Cooper 360... He's in Houston, he's talking, and in the background someone's crossing the street and ALMOST got hit by a car.

  155. 7-0. Tomorrow, first place! (Provided we win two and the Yanks somehow beat Tampa twice)
