Orioles - 000 040 000 - 4 8 1Kevin Youkilis sparked the Sox with his first four-hit game of the season: single, two doubles, home run. He drove in four runs, three on a dong to left in the third.
Red Sox - 014 100 00x - 6 12 1
Beckett stumbled in the fifth. The inning began with a single, double, walk, bases-loaded walk, double and fielding error. But with a man on second and no outs -- tying run at the plate -- he settled down, getting out of trouble, then ending his night by setting down the side in order with a seven-pitch sixth inning.
And the bullpen was stellar once again. Okajima, Saito and Papelbon combined for a 3-2-0-0-4 line.
Also: Cleveland scored 14 runs in the second inning against the Yankees and won 22-4. Because the Rays lost to Chicago, the Red Sox hopped over them into fourth place. At 5-6, we are 3 GB the high-flying Blue Jays.

Adam Eaton (9.00, 58 ERA+) / Josh Beckett (3.46, 154 ERA+)
Eaton has made only one start this season: last Sunday against the Rays. He went 4-8-4-2-6, 100 and Baltimore lost 11-3.
Eaton had a 5.80 ERA (75 ERA+) for the Phillies in 107 innings last year.

Talk about boos.
Chien Ming Dong pooping the pull-out sofa. 4 runs in, second and third.
6-2 CLeve. Great shot of all the empty 2500 dollar seats. To me the worst part about it is how they don't let anyone sit there when they're empty.
With the mega-boos for Wang, Kim comes out as a TOTAL Laura when it comes to booing your own!
Make it 9-2!!
Kim: 3-1, you don't have to swing.
Me: Or you could swing for a grand dong.
Asdrubal: Hits grand dong.
13-2 Cleveland.
McCarver calls it "Rocky Mountain High Stadium" before quickly correcting to Mile High.
14-2 on yet another dong! Still second inning.
This guy Claggett's making his debut. His ERA must be.....quite un-low.
I see ex-Missoula Osprey Lyle Overbay had a game-winning home run.
BTW, I knew all along last night we were going to win. [ducks]
I will make a *bold* prediction that Wang goes on the DL tomorrow.
An ERA of 34!
Why is Wang pitching so bad? It's not October.
A 14-run second inning?????
HAHAHAHAHAHHA
CLE: 0(14)1
MFY: 200
I predict a Schadenfreude post soon....
Enjoy the game tonight, folks. We will be out and about.
Just saw this, hahahahahahahahahahahaahahahah
20-2. I require more.
Holy fuck.
Is anyone left in the stands?
How long until they start yelling for Swisher to come in to pitch again?
How long until they start yelling for Swisher to replace Wang in the rotation?
I Need MoreSpiders on pace for 36 runs.
Swisher couldn't pitch as bad as Wang if he tried.
Manny with two bombs against the Rockies! He has a HR against ever club in the MLB.
"How long until they start yelling for Swisher to replace Wang in the rotation?"
hahaha
It's funny because it's true.
I like how the visitor's part of the scoreboard looks in the new stadium.
Man, I come see why there are 23 comments so long before the game and see it's because the MFY have almost as many runs against them. Cool.
BTW, I predict a sweep of the O's to climb over .500.
The Swisher cheers started in the second today--they said he had his glove over his face while it happened.
A friend of mine just called--Yankee fan--said his parents went to this game. And they're already home! He said his dad was pissed about the $70 he spent in food on two people.
Tabloids, don't fail me now!

Heh, once I saw the scoreboard on ESPN, I knew I could count on this thread for some chuckles. Schadenfreude indeed. Will be listening to Sox on XM on way to friend's pool. It's HOT in the bay area today.
(Back to lurking)
Same oatmeal as last night. Leftovers, if you will.
Leftovers, if you will.
I prefer to think of them as "scrapies".
Youk Williams at cleanup is really fucking making my blood pressure drop.
Will lawyers stay out of here and let me listen to the game...
Will the game end by 10:00...
A, do you remember being at a game in - where? Chicago? - it was the midwest trip - looking at the scoreboard and the Yankees were losing 21-1 (IIRC)? Wasn't that also against the Spiders? That was the time Georgie started piping "inspirational" bad music during batting practice.
21-4
hahaha
"With the mega-boos for Wang, Kim comes out as a TOTAL Laura when it comes to booing your own!"
Kim = smart and cool
What's the time now, EST? If it's 7 I might be able to gamethread a little bit.
7 it is
Ofer, where are you? Someplace that will make me envious, no doubt...
Will lawyers stay out of here and let me listen to the game...
Sorry, we'll try to keep it down.
L: Billy Ocean!!!
When asked why he posted the messages -- "Winners Never Quit, Quitters Never Win" and "When the going gets tough, the tough get goin'" (and music by Billy Ocean?!?) -- Steinbrenner issued a statement: "I wanted to show the fans that we have the same courage and the same attitudes all New Yorkers have had in fighting back from that terrible episode on 9/11. New Yorkers never give up and the Yankees never give up."
***
How slow is Molina? He hit a ball before that the pitcher got stuck between his legs, reached around behind him to grab, threw to second, and they still doubled up Molina at first.
"Sorry, we'll try to keep it down."
Oh ha ha. Not gamethreaders who happen to be lawyers. Just the lawyers who employ me.
A, that can't be it. The incident I'm thinking of happened in 1999.
We were on our rustbelt baseball road trip, so it was between July 20 and early August. And it was more towards the beginning of the trip.
Jere, I thought more about your G___ L___ question, would I boo him on opening day in 2004. The answer is: it would be a great test of my strength and principles, and I hope I would pass the test. No one is perfect, so I don't know if I would do the right thing, but most of us know how we'd like ourselves to act.
Beckett looking good.
Ofer, where are you? Someplace that will make me envious, no doubt...I'm in Utila, a small island off the carribean coast of Honduras. Island life is really strange, I must say. And I'm starting a diving course tomorrow.
We have a good friend from Honduras. Looks beautiful there.
Nice, quick inning.
22-4 Spiders
Spiders load 'em up with 1 out.
On the Yanks' person-ual scoreboard, they didn't have a 14 for that second inning, so they just used a white line next to a four.
Honduras is surprisingly very much US-influenced. I think I've seen more US fast food chains in one day in Honduras than in 10 months in the rest of Latin America. But I hear Costa Rica and Panama are quite the same in that regard.
Our friend is in Canada, so he can be married to his man (who is from Detroit).
Adam Eaton...if he's anything like how he was with the Phillies this should be an easy win.
Not good.
A K would be welcome
July 24, 1999How funny, I remembered the game backwards. It was Spiders 1 - Yankees 21.
I was confusing it with the one Allan posted from 2004.
Needed that K.
yooooooooooooook
2 nice plays by Youk that inn.
Jam escaped.
So, are there any news on the Lowrie surgery front?
Lowrie is on his way to Arizona for a 3rd opinion.
Yook hit that to Felix, PA.
Wk
(double: youk)
And we've got Pedro, IA.
Castig: Here's JD Drew who has been ON FIRE for the last few days.
Of course he's been ON FIRE!!!, that's his name!
Leadoff double = nice.
Wow. Such a good AB by Youk. With two strikes, he takes two pitches that were inside by an inch, then gets a third one on the black and hammers it into LF.
Manny-bashing here on MASN.
canuck walk
"Manny-bashing here on MASN."
They are major offenders.
Kevin, we once had a Kevin around here who turned out to be a notorious troll. You're not Magnolia, are you?
Gah, that looked good off the bat.
Tek!
"bill of the cap high" Pie
OMGTEK!!!!!!!!!!
A Varidouble!
Wow. I think Varitek has hit more balls hard in two weeks than he did all of last season.
Nope, I've been lurking here for a while but just started posting the other day.
I am half-kidding. Quarter-kidding. We went through a lot with this troll, it made me paranoid.
At least we got the one.
I still find it incredible that the Phillies were willing to eat both Eaton's and Jenkins's contracts.
15.25 million between the two.
This doesn't sound smart.
Shatner's gonna get beamed up
GIFT for Roberts. Fuck you UMP
Shatner's gonna get beamed up.
Actually almost literally LOL'd .
cute hat
"cute hat"
some of us have radio, y'know...
Bleh, walks.
That works.
Didn't hurt us, tho.
So is the strike zone as insane as the radio guys are saying?
I've missed seeing the most crazy calls.
Heidi was wearing a cute hat.
Oh, Heidi. Next time I won't ask.
fuck yeah!
More like that, FY.
FY seems to be returning to form.
Shift that.
yay papi!
That's a good sign.
The strike zone is completely amorphous -- perhaps not so surprising given that Doug Eddings is behind the plate.
Aubrey Huff took a 3-0 fastball a foot off the plate that was called a strike, then immediately took an identical pitch for a BB.
radio guys say the ump is santa claus for pitchers. they're not saying amorphous so much as a HUGE strike zone
YOUK!
YOOOOOOOOOOK!!!!!!!!!!!
SWEAT-SOAKED DONG
SWEAT-POWERED!!!
Yep, Eaton hasn't changed a bit since leaving the Phillies.
sweaty dongs are the best kind
/andy
What an incredibly shitty strike zone.
"consistent zone"
yeah, consistently wrong and contrary to the rule book.
but we'll just have the batters adjust, rather than have the umps follow the rules.
All over the place.
13th walk of the season for BBay.
i'm loving jason bay
Stolehn base.
DR!
5-0
Dr Single!
Can we get a 14-run inning?
Red Sox Being Spiders?
stolehn :)
stoulen?
Apparently not.
we'll have to settle for 4 this inning.
I love playing the Orioles at Fenway.
stoulen?
Borrowed?
This strike zone pisses me off when Beckett's getting it too.
OTT
borrowed?
borrowed?
Do people steal stuff in Canada? It seems impolite.
that's my speedy boy!
Grounder to second. At least he was safe.
Time for havoc on the bases.
I thought that's where you were going. It's funny how when you live here, the stereotypes stop making any sense. Mostly.
safe is safe
That pitch was practically over Pedroia's head.
those 14 runs were the most the yanekes have ever allowed in one inning. historic!
Time for Papi to break out?
Pourloined?
yeah papi! is this is 1st multi-hit game?
Papi pleases me tonight.
I'll take that.
Signs of hope.
No, he had 2 on April 12.
"Pourloined?"
lotta vowels going on there
"No, he had 2 on April 12."
thanks. good.
we are sweat-powered tonight!
a triple away from the cycle
Nice. Youk still hitting around .500 on the season.
This pitcher doesn't have the red Sox eaton out of his hand.
those 14 runs were the most the yanekes have ever allowed in one inning.i have a baguette in my shorts.
so much for kirk's pre-game plan to have eaton keep that pitch count per inning down. 93 thru 4.
Weak.
baguette > scone ?
Jam.
K please?
a jammy jam
Meh.
Well, now we can maybe get the force at home.
i guess that is not a strike anymore.
I think the strike zone might be some sort of trapezoidal dealie where the lower corners are huge and the top corners are tiny, but I am not sure.
wtf josh?
Fuck.
that was kind of a force -- forcing a run home with a walk
It's an amoeba, it keeps shifting as it goes on.
bah
MEGA FUCK
something to cheer you up
Hooray. Javier Lopez is warming up in the pen.
It would be nice to have more than one outfielder with a decent arm.
Why the fuck is Lopez up?
Nice play there.
Wang's next start? Friday against us!
Strike amoeba keeps shape-shifting.
"Wang's next start? Friday against us!"
Don't expect him.
normal long man masterson starting on monday
but why bring in possibly your worst pitcher when you need to stem the bleeding?
This inning is dragging on too fucking long.
That...works.
please note we still have the lead
"but why bring in possibly your worst pitcher when you need to stem the bleeding?"
My thoughts exactly.
Runs, please.
WTP
Finally.
that seems "struck well", but it was an easy chance for werd
Lowell is so fucking slow.
doctor!
"Lowell is so fucking slow."
The sun is hot.
The Doctor is in.
Strike amoeba.
Tek being oddly productive these past couple days.
Even a stopped clock...
Blehsbury.
and the red sox strand a pair
Wasted opportunity.
he really should run faster.
he really should be perfect, or else we will boo him
Still loving Green's fielding.
NESN quickly goes to commercial.
Nice.
radio ad extolling the many pleasures of being a soldier
Ouch.
Papi dong time?
Fuck...no.
Me, 4:07 PM, Yankees up 2-0:
"Be patient, Spiders, the runs shall come shortly."
Just sayin'.
Youkicycle, here we go
