Funix starts the 1st with a opposite field double!
ReplyDeletetwo grounders gets ococ home. carter gets the rbi.
ReplyDeleteNothing like coming home to most of the dinner that was made having been eaten. There was like, four bites left.
ReplyDeleteWakefield's knucklers look up. Except for that one.
ReplyDeleteMasterson warming
ReplyDeleteSnuck a fastball by him!
ReplyDeleteDoing work, but listening to NESN.
ReplyDeleteRansom shows MFY fans how a MLB SS goes to his left.
ReplyDelete5 innings played in 1 hour, 5 minutes!
ReplyDeleteWake out. Bat in.
ReplyDeleteCash to third. Ross catching.
ReplyDeleteImpossible. Wakefield is the slowest pitcher who ever lived -- he's a greater blot on the game than steroids. I read it in Newsday*.
ReplyDeleteYes, a Newsday columnist did say that about Wake and roids. His name is Wallace Matthews.
That was cool!
ReplyDeletePedroia got the ball so quickly he could relax and throw over to first. Very Cano-like!
ReplyDeleteRemy: "I had a great night... by myself last night."
ReplyDeleteRemy: "Let me tell you something, Don. I had a great night last night ......... I was all alone."
ReplyDeleteYeah, Jerry Remy = music critic.
ReplyDelete"I don't go to Tauton by myself, why would I go to Japan?"

Is FY playing?
he was talking about being home alone last night and watching some fleetwood mac concert on an mtv station (i guess). he was very impressed with lindsey buckingham. no idea when this concert was performed, though.
ReplyDeleteThat was Velazquez at 2B.

ReplyDeleteThat was Velazquez at 2B.
I kinda wished FY played to have a shot at the batting title.......
That was Velazquez at 2B.
ReplyDeleteSure looked like FY.
But I wish he was playing too.
Holy Shit!
ReplyDelete8th already in a Wakefield game?
How the hell does that happen?
EVERYBODY must be in a hurry to move on.
I'm just glad we're moving on as a team and the Yankees are just moving on out :)
Oh I mentioned this at the end of the last game's post, but I guess everyone had moved on themselves by then.
Just how damn excited do you think the last place Tigers' players are about going to Chicago to end their season instead of packing up lockers and booking tee times?
HAHAHAHAA
ReplyDeleteLook at the right side of the infield!
Teams take great pride in eliminating other teams. Just ask the Florida Marlins. They probably were feeling a lot of quiet satisfaction after today's game.
ReplyDeleteLoud Yankees Suck chant going through Fenway. Wish there'd be something more clever, but it'd always sound like Yankees Suck.
ReplyDeleteI liked "When's your tee time"
Mike Timlin will soon get his loudest ovation of his career.
ReplyDeleteWould it be cool to let the kids play extras?
ReplyDeleteAbout as special as a billion dollars can buy.
ReplyDeletethanks redsock. remy: regular momo

ReplyDeleteThing I love about Coco. He goes into a rough slide to second and he always seems to come up with some form of smile on his face.
ReplyDeleterally time!
ReplyDeleteCan the B team get it done?
ReplyDeleteFat Cop is part of the bullpen band!
ReplyDeleteget a lead and hold it -- and yeller gets the win!

ReplyDeleteGame 1: 10:07 pm Wed.
ReplyDeleteGame 2: 9:37 pm Fri.
They didn't finish reading the other three games.
ReplyDeleteish where are they releasing the times, etc?
ReplyDeleteHe was doing Homer Remy???! Crap! I missed it!
ReplyDeleteish where are they releasing the times, etc?
ReplyDeleteJohn Blake (public relations for the Red Sox) announced them in the official scorer's booth to the media.
Check Extra Bases in five or ten minutes.
Zenslinger must be off praying for a NYY rally, so he wins the contest!
ReplyDeleteBeen working on the books, watching GDGD and listening to music.
ReplyDeleteMy fricking ancient puter is maxing out. Slow as shit to swap apps. I'd try to throw in a comment and the next batter would be gone before I could :(
Anyway - looks like we're about to end the season in the best possible way. Beating the Damn Yankees on a walk-off, never mind, there it is!
Not as great as the other Homer Remy I heard. This was just a couple of pitches.
ReplyDeleteThey have been silly today. He should have done it all game -- or the last 3 innings.
**Buckley, through WRKO: Josh Beckett is hurt. Oblique injury. Extent is unknown. Injured in a bullpen session following his last start.**
ReplyDeleteBuckley link
ReplyDeleteThe Red Sox could be facing a Tom Brady-like blow to their postseason plans.
ReplyDeleteJust as the Patriots are trying to make it work this season without the injured Brady as their quarterback, the Red Sox could be going into the playoffs without Josh Beckett [stats] as the ace of their pitching staff.
According to a source, Beckett sustained an oblique injury during a bullpen session following his last start.
that beckett news is not good.
ReplyDeleteAsked last night if Beckett is suffering from an oblique injury, a separate Red Sox source said a medical update on Beckett will be announced today, before the team boards its charter flight to California for Wednesday’s Game 1 of the American League Division Series against the Los Angeles Angels.
ReplyDeletebeckett hurt. we're dead.
ReplyDeleteNo, that's not good at all. If your heart was going to be pumping quite a bit anyway, now it'll be pumping even more. It's ass-clinching time for the 2008 Red Sox.
ReplyDeletehey aaaaaaardsma, guess who ain't allowed on the plane to california?
ReplyDeleteI'm just not sure if the Red Sox can get it done with Lester, Dice, and Byrd against the Angels. And I don't think they can get it done in a 7-game series with Wakefield either. Not on paper, that's for sure. You'll have to rely on heavy offense and luck.
ReplyDeletelester
ReplyDeletedice
wake
...
we can do that.
Probably be Lackey/Lester twice, and Santana/Matsuzaka twice. And Saunders/Byrd once. For a fiver.
ReplyDeleteYou think they'll throw Wake instead of Byrd?
ReplyDeletetake a fucking seat, gardner.
ReplyDeleteToo bad he didn't get run. Just to prove a point.
ReplyDeletei'd go with wake over byrd. that's all i know.
ReplyDeleteFucking Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaardsma
ReplyDeletere: beckett
ReplyDeletefuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuck
With Byrd you can expect him to give up 3-6 runs in a start. So, as an offense you have to plan on scoring at least 4 runs. With Wake, he can give you 8 shutout innings or give up 8 runs in 2 1/3.
ReplyDeleteWhich PawSox will hit the walk-off?
ReplyDeletewe got
ReplyDeletevan every
cash
velazquez
in the 9th -- we're set!
Kottaras?
ReplyDeletewhat if this game went 15+ innings?
ReplyDeleteWho knows. The umpires could cancel the game if they wanted. Just not have the game count, perhaps. But that's WAY out there.
ReplyDeleteIt's not like these PawSox are facing New York Yankees pitchers. It's Scranton vs. Pawtucket all over again.
ReplyDeleteum... our #1 starter just went down and wont pitch in the ALDS... im not really interested in this last game anymore.
ReplyDeleteGames 1 and 2 are the only games where the start times have been announced.
ReplyDeleteI'd go Wake with a short leash and Byrd waiting in relief if he doesn't have it that night.
ReplyDeleteAnd I CAN'T BELIEVE Aaaaaaaardsmaaaaa couldn't finish this game.
dammit
um... our #1 starter just went down and wont pitch in the ALDS... im not really interested in this last game anymore.
ReplyDeleteTrying to enjoy as much Red Sox baseball as I can.
i won't believe until i hear the sox say it. buckley is an asshole and a dushbag.
ReplyDeleteThat's not a bad idea, Sosock.
ReplyDeleteI've never understood why teams don't split a game into two with starting pitchers. Plan on having one guy throw 4 or 5, and the other one finish it off.
I mean, you wouldn't do that in the postseason if you can help it, unless they're both very good. But amazing you don't see that happen often at all.
im sure yr right about buckley being a dush, but i hope yr right about yr other point.
ReplyDeletei won't believe until i hear the sox say it. buckley is an asshole and a dushbag.
ReplyDeleteAGREED.
are remy and orsillo talking about this? are they showing tito throwing up in the dugout?
ReplyDeleteare remy and orsillo talking about this? are they showing tito throwing up in the dugout?
ReplyDeleteYou know Tito's got a good poker face. They all do.
But I don't think Don and Remy are talking about it. I doubt they'd mention it until postgame. I first heard it on WRKO radio.
'Sack sighting in the pen.
ReplyDeleteLowell flashing signs from the dugout. Who's he flashing signs to?
ReplyDeletetito's eyes glass up when shit is bad. thats his tell.
ReplyDeleteno mention of anything from nesn
ReplyDeleteThis must be so strange for these reserves. Especially on the Red Sox side. They got eliminated from the International League by the Scranton Yankees. Now here some of those same players are, on both sides, facing each other once again, yet, in front of 37,000 people at Fenway Park.
ReplyDeleteMust be fooking strange.
time for an extra crispy walkoff win
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeletehahah, ish. that made me laugh
ReplyDeleteLMAO. Coco's whole body goes limp after he hits that popup. He has such funny body language.
ReplyDeleteExtra innings!
Dogs and cats living together! Mass hysteria!
why'd you erase that?
ReplyDeletehahah, ish. that made me laugh
ReplyDeleteThe comment I just deleted? I read it again and thought "that's kinda dumb, actually." delete.
NESN, you can cut away from those creepy dancing people anytime now. Kthx
ReplyDeleteWhat I deleted...
ReplyDeleteLowell was probably flashing those signs into the Yankees dugout. Beckett's hurt. We're fucked.
So, we get the 'Sack for extras.
ReplyDeleteGoing from one AAA game to another, with another AAA starter.
ReplyDeletePauley and Hansack will be sent to the Florida instructional leagues, by the way. So they won't be shut down. They'll get some work in, stay fresh... just in case.
Unbearable tension for the W-L contest!
ReplyDeleteoh i took it a completely different way. almost as if you weere mocking me, as in "were fucked"
ReplyDeletenice backwards way of calling me dumb though.
What I don't understand, regarding Beckett, is that it's Buckley who is the only one who has published this. There's nothing on the Globe. That means AB, Massarotti, CHB, Cafardo, etc.
ReplyDeletewe are not fucked. we'll just get some tendons (or whatever the fuck he needs) from a corpse and stitch them into beckett.
ReplyDelete2008 = year of the bloody shirt!
Nothing from projo...
ReplyDeleteI'll board that bus, Redsock.
ReplyDeleteSoSH discussion. It was on radio?
ReplyDeleteNothing from ESPN, si.com, or Yahoo.
ReplyDeleteSoSH discussion. It was on radio?
ReplyDeleteYep. Jon Rish related part of the article. Said it could be found on bostonherald.com. Said it was Buckley who wrote it.
Herald's website:
ReplyDeleteBeckett could be out for postseason
We’ll have a complete story coming up, but the Red Sox are going to make an announcement following tonight’s game about the health status of righthander Josh Beckett.
Beckett, according to a source, has suffered an oblique injury and may not be able to face the Angels in the Division Series.
More to come.

WEEI.com links to the Herald story...
ReplyDeleteSo Buckley is the ONLY ONE so far.
So Buckley is the ONLY ONE so far.
ReplyDeleteThat makes me feel better
Be a nice time for Einstein to hit his first dong of the season.
ReplyDeletehopefully, buckley heard one thing and is puffing it up.
ReplyDeleteNothing from Ian Browne... nothing from NESN.com...
ReplyDeletehopefully, buckley heard one thing and is puffing it up.
ReplyDeleteIt's pretty strong language. Tom Brady-like. Brady was sacked on the first game of the season for the Patriots, tore his ACL and MCL and is out for the season.
TRIPLE for Einstein!
ReplyDeleteHEADS FOR SECOND ......AND BEYOND!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteIs that Don's best Toy Story impression?
ReplyDeleteNot sure what to make of Tito's impression.
ReplyDeleteCarter really wanted to hit a dong. Wasn't thinking about what little you can do to hit a home run.
Looks like they'll Walk Bailey. Sean Casey is on deck. Probably walk him too.
8 wide ones.
ReplyDeleteCasey gets walked too.
they fear gumball.
ReplyDeleteSo it'll be Ross and Van Every.
ReplyDeleteWILD PITCH! SQUEEZE! WHY NOT?!?!
ReplyDeleteI am enjoying this. As long as none of the big regulars are in there, I absolutely love this.
ReplyDeletewhenever gump did this, the pitcher always seemed to have trouble throwing strikes after tossing 8 balls. i used to hate this strategy.
ReplyDeletedon wants tizzle - me too.
How did that not brush him?
ReplyDeleteTizzle would be nice.
ReplyDeletehit a thread!
ReplyDeleteBut I think it's cool to give Ross and Van Every a chance to win it.
ReplyDeleteGood game to watch, huh Dave?
ReplyDeletedo NOT waste a triple, dickheads
ReplyDeleteFIRST ROUND OF DIRTY WATER IS ON ME!!!
ReplyDeleteSheez - 2 straight IBB.
ReplyDeleteWe'd better freaking accomplish this - NOW!
WATER.
ReplyDeletenow we wait to hear...
What a way for the Red Sox to win the final game of the regular season against the Yankees!
ReplyDeleteWater.
ReplyDeleteYANKEES SUCK!
ReplyDeleteNow, it's time to face reality.
ReplyDeleteWhich may or may not be a bad thing...
ReplyDeleteNESN skipping the postgame show... Right to SportsDesk.
ReplyDeleteEvery Van has his day :)
ReplyDeleteNESN... "Trouble news for the Red Sox ace, Josh Beckett that we're working on."
ReplyDeletewow, pesky fungo-ing the first pitch! AWESOME
ReplyDeleteFar as I'm concerned, when NESN gets onto the Buckley Bandwagon, the credibility starts to go up a little bit.
ReplyDeleteNew post is up for Beckett stuff!
ReplyDeleteThank whoever we won that last Yankee game. Meaningless or not, that's no way to end the season, regular as it may be.
ReplyDeleteNow let's get Steve Austin's doctors working on the Beck-man right away!
Back to taxes :(
See ya in the playoffs!
