Heading into the 13th.
Onto 13!
Bing Crosby proving his uselessness in the 9 spot today.
I want to use the phrase "Gumball Rally" tonight. Make it so.
Dear A's: If you win, we'll be in second place. We'd like that. Sincerely, RSN
This game would be over now if they didn't take out Jack Cust.
Aren't we tied for 2nd now?
We're tied for 2nd for the moment. The outcome of the MFYs' current game will change that one way or another.
Makes sense.
Dumbo to the plate.
Yuck.
Looks like that system is just going to mingle there for awhile.
Worst-case scenario in my house tonight is watch the Bruins on the main television and the Rangers/Caps game on the little TV. Rather than the Red Sox.
That would be good news for those who don't have NESN Plus. Not to mention the poor picture quality on some carriers.
Fucking exam at 6:30, I'm hoping it doesn't take the full time and I can get out in time to see the end of the game.
14 comments on here, to 14 innings go the As-MFYs
Listening to the Yankees radio... They have Mark Feinsand of the Daily News on each game in the fifth inning. They had him come back up for the 14th for the Daily News Fifth... Again.
Definitely prefer the yahoo game tracker to that piece of shit they have on MLB.com, there's so much garbage in it I have no idea what's going on in the game.
Last night I checked out NHL.com's gameday live concoction and was pleasantly surprised by it. Interesting individual stats updated real time - and they even provide radio broadcasts for free.
I hate GDGD, but it's still better than the alternatives in my experience.
All that super bonus extra expensive crap on the left side of the screen can be minimized so it stays out of your way.
Still tied in the middle of the 14th.
Swisher's batting. What're the odds we see him pitching next inning?
Milk Dud ends it.
"That's the Melky Way!" Sterling's call on the dong.
Milk Dong.
Fucking Melky.
Any news on the weather/game? Extra Bases and SoSH are quiet.
NESN is showing Wakefield and Kottaras playing mini golf in Florida.
Nothing on the Globe's site since 4pm.
Nothing on the Globe's site since 4pm.
I know. That's why I was asking. :>/
GDGD has it as delayed.
Hi all. Had the game on at work today, but I was too busy to stop by here and say hi. Now I'm the radio until 8 and then again at 10. Hopefully there'll be some ball I can spot in between.
It's completely stopped raining in Providence. Clear skies.
"They just announced in the press box that this game will start at 7:55 p.m. The tarp is currently being removed from the field for the second time since the last game was called."
http://www.boston.com/sports/baseball/redsox/extras/extra_bases/2009/04/755_start.html
Still nothing on EI (besides the Jays radio feed).
Twins feed
GDGD now says "Warmup".
what the fuck are these fuckers wearing??????????
Nothing says Earth Day like a fucking shamrock.
Uh, we're turning into the fucking Mets with how many uniforms we have now. Disgraceful.
Stupid Unis
twins start calling lf wall a baggy --then stopped!
nice lyndon liner, though it was an out
Nice catch, Morales.
"... hitting the ball off that bag--- umm, well, that's not really a baggy, is it? the left field wall."
If only that part of the ballpark had a name.
During Game 1, L and I were wondering if Pesky and his wife ever made jokes about Pesky's "pole"? She thought absolutely.
Drew looks so bored.
"Ever made", as in before she died?
chew him up, gumball.
CHEWY DONG!!!!!!!!!!!!
forgot to look for jere
GUMBALL!!!
"Drew looks so bored."
The sky is blue.
Oh hey, look at that.
That was a "GUMBALL RALLY"!
WEEI Math:
fired up + outs > bored + .400 OBP
The fuck train is making multiple stops in Dongtown.
The combo of these uni's and the red sox shows that the away uni's can be worn with red sox. I'm talking the regular away jerseys.
A lot of offense this year. I smell some new type of steroids.
Love the DP. Wish Dave Roberts would keep talking, though.
LIDP
Shit, I'm missing that.
Maybe make a note to look at MLBTV archive?
what is that annoying dance song that they play now after home runs? They play this same song around the league, and I hate the fact that Fenway os doing it now too. Does anyone know what it is?
replay shows lyndon's foot getting in - twins say "head first slide"
HE'S BACK BIG!!!!!!!!!!!
opposite field for ortiz = good.
Half-dong!
SPEED MUTHERFUCKER
dickey up in twins pen
what is this hockey on my screen? I switched over to the MLB network and the sox were on! for 2 minutes!
apparently we're up. GDGD here I come.
doung for twins.
Crap.
start pitching again, penny.
twins tv are obsessed with how hard twins are hitting the ball. OBSESSED. especially since they have only one run.
whew
twins are "ABSOLUTELY MASHING THE BALL AGAINST PENNY"
give it up boys.
I like Green's bat and all, but DAMN he sucks at fielding. (5 errors now)
Circle my dong, burt/
was that a hard hit ball?
twins tv: (crickets)
got 'em back in a hurry!!!
fuck thw twins
It's so nice to get runs back after giving them up.
Hell, it's nice just to get runs. We're getting so many more this week.
"Hell, it's nice just to get runs. We're getting so many more this week."
I think they've been more patient at the plate lately; that probably helps.

More just that our BABIP is regressing to the mean.
Also facing the Orioles' worst pitching in the league helps.
I bet Jere has a good shot of Bailey's dong.
"More just that our BABIP is regressing to the mean."
Touché.
Somewhere in Florida, Julio Lugo curses his TV.
Or wherever the PawSox are at.
FEAR THE RAM!
young didnt even know he was "hit" - fuckin ump
Happy birthday, Terry.
TOSS HIM!
Just getting in, and no reception for NESNplus here. But I see we are ahead again!
Boy, sure is quiet here. I guess two games in one day is too much for some people!
Also Jere's at the game, and he's like 20% of our offense.
Hey everyone. Just finished watching the Bruins SWEEP the Canadiens. Life is good. Had the Red Sox on the little TV in the living room all evening so I kept a close eye on that, too. Life really is good! And how about Gumball dong, eh?
I'm having a great night.
One thing that's funny is my NESN Plus channel is about five seconds delayed. I was so confused at first because normally it's about a half-second delay.
L's out too.
And Bot's in.
Hey, Ish. No NESNplus here, as predicted. :( But I was out til almost ten anyway.
"Watching" Pap on the computer is just not the same.
Hopefully the schedule moving forward will mean no more Bruins Red Sox overlaps. Time Warner Cable here put NESN Plus on a channel with terrible, terrible picture and sound. It looks like I'm watching in a dream. I can't even continue watching it, so I'm listening to it on the radio.
At least on the little TV the picture was ok.
Twins PBP just called 2004 Boston's "first world championship".
So did Bert.
Amy, the game is now back on NESN.
Thanks, Ish, I was just going to ask about that.
They just switched it back. Well, it's on NESN Plus as well. So you can see a quick replay of the pitch, haha.
I LOVED that slow-motion replay of the ball hitting the umpire's mask.
With today's game, Wake is oldest starter ever to pitch B2B CG!
So sez Twins TV, but they are also dumb as shit.
What's with the green caps??
See what I missed not having a picture.
Two away.
So after a 2-6 start, Sox have gone 7-0!
I think Don just said 1913 was the last time... I don't know if a doubleheader in general or a Red Sox doubleheader was rain-shortened for Game 1 and played a full Game 2.
Or something.
So after a 2-6 start, Sox have gone 7-0!Twins feed must be 1 out ahead of NESN! Haha
Can someone explain the green caps and weird jerseys??
Watery Wednesday.
Boston is FLOODED with dirty water!
Water.
I have no idea about the green unis either. Earth day?
Water!
Caps: Earth Day.
Yes! Nice day for baseball, despite all the rain.
Bring on the Yankees!
Wasn't Earth Day April 20?
Back in second again.
Wasn't Earth Day April 20?
No, 4/20 is a different green holiday.
Green Sox: Maybe they lost a bet.
Maybe Penny made a peculiar request.
Hey I'd like green jerseys tonight.
FKR take a quick 3-0 lead in the first.
I'm going to settle in for some more hockey. Blackhawks and Flames. Versus showing the TSN feed so I feel like I'm in Canada a little bit.
Had to look that one up, Benjamin.
Sometimes I am just so out of the loop it scares me.
Also, Hitler's birthday.
"Also Jere's at the game, and he's like 20% of our offense."
Haha!
One of these days I'll have the technology to post here from games--finally getting a cell phone might be the first step. But now I'm dead set to making it to 2010 without one.
I left around 4:30, and sure enough, the traffic at that time, plus rain, made me not arrive till 6:30--but I got a spot right away so it was perfect...until they delayed the game an hour. But I did get to sit in the front row of the Monsters ALL game--LOTS of empty seats.

Why? is there some cosmic earth shattering reason......
Red Sox and Twins getting a lot of flack on how yesterday was handled...
"finally getting a cell phone might be the first step"
A shocking development!
"But I did get to sit in the front row of the Monsters ALL game"
Wow! Cool.
Good games. I had to work during the first one. Luckily my job yesterday consisted solely of WATCHING THE SOX GAME!
