Yankees - 202 202 210 - 11 15 1Wow. Hard to recap this one. Some highlights:
Red Sox - 000 531 34x - 16 13 1
Beckett threw a whopping 73 pitches in the first three innings, but managed to stick around for five frames (5-10-8-4-3, 116). Burnett (5-8-8-3-3, 91) also allowed eight runs. The last time both starters in a Yankees-Red Sox game each allowed at least eight runs was June 26, 1987 (Tommy John and Roger Clemens).
Varitek's first-pitch grand slam with two outs in the 4th brought the Sox from 6-1 to 6-5.
Jacoby Ellsbury's first dong of the season tied the score at 6-6 and Jason Bay's two-run double gave the Sox a 8-6 lead.
After New York had moved ahead 10-9, Mike Lowell belted a three-run home run to left. Boston 12-10! Lowell also had a three-run double in the 8th -- thus tying a career-high six RBIs in only two innings. It was also the most RBI by a Red Sox player against the Yankees since Carlton Fisk on April 6, 1973, Opening Day!
Dustin Pedroia reached base all five times; Kevin Youkilis scored four runs; Bay scored three times and drove in three.
On the other side, Robinson Cano doubled and homered twice, driving in five runs (tying his career-high). Mark Teixeira walked five times in six plate appearances, the first Yankee with five walks in a game since Roger Maris on May 22, 1962.
In the last two games, the Yankee bullpen has thrown 177 pitches in eight innings, allowing 10 hits, five walks and 11 runs.
And this was the first Yankees/Red Sox game in which the Yankees blew a six-run lead and lost since May 16, 1968 -- almost 41 years ago.
***Yankees - 106 201 000 - 10 9 2
Red Sox - 300 110 06x - 11 14 0
A.J. Burnett (3.20, 150 ERA+) / Josh Beckett (3.79, 134 ERA+)
GS IP H BB KBeckett has not allowed a home run this year.
Burnett 3 19.2 13 9 17
Beckett 3 19 16 9 20
Beckett, Burnett and Mike Lowell were teammates on the Marlins from 2001-05. Dr. D:
We're going to have our hands full facing a guy like A.J. High-velocity guy -- really good curveball. But that doesn't mean he's unbeatable.Also: Nick Green has had three consecutive two-hit games. ... As expected, Jonathan Van Every is the new backup outfielder.
Friday Night Videos: Dan Lamothe has a NESN clip of the game-ending blast. Jere shot a video of Bay's dong from the bleachers.

I fear work will keep from all of this one. I hope I'm wrong.
I'm off to Fenway soon. Have fun everybody. I wonder why they didn't talk to Penny for that article about Beckett/Burnett.
Wait, Phormer Phil--you're looking for a house in Providence? Email me if you want, as we just did the same.
I'll miss at least an hour of this one, probably more. Grumble grumble.
So happy I got to watch all of last night's game!
Amy will be there today, as well as Jere.
Have fun Jere! Good work last night. Keep it up.

From a link at SoSH: "A.J. is readying for his start by watching the movie 300. He has a Spartan warrior tat on his left arm."
Red Sox: 89 RS - 67 RA
Yankees: 88 RS - 102 RA
Boston has scored 1 more run and allowed 35 fewer runs!
Only two other MLB teams - Baltimore (117) and Cleveland (103) - have allowed more runs than NYY.
No work yet. Seems *too* quiet.I fear work will arrive three minutes before the first pitch.
I just want to mention that Yook has an absolutely STOOPID 1.317 OPS.
It looks like I'll be able to listen, but not thread.
Win today!
nice reaction from marte on that dong!!!!!
Dr. Defense!!!
single + walk = 2 on for swisher
decided to take mute off to see what was up. and i hear buck saying "and beckett threw up and around the head of abreu" -- and that was that.
MUTE!
why resort to lies?
why not say that although the umpires on the field did not feel beckett threw at abreu, bob watson did, so there you go.
beckett not looking good at all - no control.
You should switch to radio.
nah - quiet picture is better than radio delay.
i didn't see buck on the pregame, thought maybe it was a different team.
3 balls to 4 of the first 6 hitters
"Commander Kick-Ass?"
"Commander Pitching Like Ass"
36 pitches (19 balls, 16 strikes)
hope he gets it together btw innings
I meant radio only.
Dear Sox bats: Treat Burnett worse than Hitler.
Okay: GIDPs early, then a comeback win. Fine.
Beckett better in the 2nd.
Let's go, bats.
JoSers: Would you believe the moderator from Thursday night's chat room nonsense is STILL commenting about it? I thought my "Neanderthal posse" might want to know. :)
That was the moderator? I thought the host was also the moderator?
Mediocre first couple of innings.
Funny. Cause Joe the Host told me in several emails that he has never had sexist and homophobic comments like that before and if it did happen, those posters would be banned.
FUCK
Crap.
Looks like it's going to be a long day for the pen.
She (says she is female) is one of the moderators.
Why open a chat room if you don't want people insulting each other? That's the only thing that goes on in those things.
Every single person there was slinging insults, but *I* ought to know better. But she's not singling me out... oh noooo.
His email:
"Sexual talk is not accepted nor toleraterated on my program under any circumstances. It results in a ban from the chat room."
Good thing we won last night. If we has lost that game, then this... we'd be going nuts. Nutser.
WTF is with Beckett today?
"Sexual talk is not accepted nor toleraterated on my program under any circumstances. It results in a ban from the chat room."
The first comments I saw were homophobic.
Then JJ started in on me. I could care less, but if sexual talk is banned, he should be out of there.
73 pitches through 3...
Beckett being Dice-K
:(
But you know, Jere's point wasn't that anyone in the chat room was out of line. It was that *the host* made a sexist comment about me on air.
I didn't even hear it and he MORE than apologized for it, but it kind of negates everything she's saying.
ask girardi if the team can have ice cream now?
i don't think it was on the air. i think it was in chat.
Burnett fucking dealing. ugh
In 3 innings, Burnett has thrown 1 more pitch than Becklett did in his 1st inning.
GDGD has Beckett facing Dumbo.
McCarver must be in heaven.
Throw some fucking strikes...
Laugher.
I hate this game.
Way to to show up big today Beckett, you motherfucker.
They got 6 runs in 4 innings.
We have 6 innings of hitting to go.
More than doable.
Wonder what movie Beckett watched before this game?
Nice at-bat there.
Crappy at-bat there
half this motherfucker, werd.
Alright, do not squander this Drew.
I like where this is going.
Bay, be Manny.
Again.
scary to take that shit.
let's go bay. thunder!
COME ON TURN THIS INTO A GAME AGAIN>
I'll take that.
Doctor, if you please.
weak rx there
Meh
oh god, tek.
so it's 6-1 after 4.
CAPTAIN CLUTCH!!!!!!!!!
AHAHHAHAHHAHAAHAHHHAHA
Oh hey.
OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG
i was set to post "prove me wrong" but he drilled the first pitch!
I SAID "DOABLE"
Woooo! (As I emerge from lurking. Hi, gang...)
Yankees Suck chant goes up
"Yankees Suck chant goes up"
Truth will out.
Alright, whoever the hell is pitching the next inning, keep it close.
just got in from throwing out trees at the dump, and seeing the tek grand dong made me just about dump in my pants. WOW - this is DO ABLE!
5 runs on 4 hits, lawlz
Looks like MDC next inning.
Two quick outs.
Tim McCarver thinks if the score was 6-0 Beckett wouldn't have started the fifth. But since it's 6-5, Beckett's "being rewarded" and is being stuck with so he can possibly get the win.
Anytime Tim McCarver wants to run for the governor of Arkansas I'll stand behind him.
Alright, more runs please?
short and sweet
now back on attack!
The load in Tim's pants makes more sense than McCarver.
LANDSLIDE LYNDON!!!
DREAMBOAT!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yay
ELWJGY!!!!!!!!!!!!
ELIWJGY!!!!!
Yeah, he's being rewarded. Nothing to do with the fact that they used 6 relievers yesterday night or anything.
OK I don't get the game on the TV in the computer room, going to watch it on the big screen. Be back later!
I took the last two innings off to watch the second half of the Valencia-Barcelona soccer match. Did I miss anything exciting?
i like this burnett guy. takes a while to get warmed up, but he's good.
"Did I miss anything exciting?"
Tek re-discovered his bat speed at a very opportune time.
Good news for Amy!!!
FUCK YEAH!!
Harvey's being quiet, I'll bet!!!
Burnett's Fenway ERA of 0.40 is down the shitter.
Nice one, Papi.
Kevin, I think 'Tek's been doing okay all year from what I've seen. He's not going to recover his 2003 form, but he's certainly been making good contact in most of the games I've seen.
good for our pen:
mdc threw 8 pitches last night
bot 17
ramirez 14
for nyy
coke 26
marte 26
rivera 30
Ouch.
12 GAMES!

Dammit.
Can he ever NOT hit into a DP?
JD was safe.
Or let's just do the same shit we've been doing.
FUCK YOU JD
Teixeira really looks like a Yankee in that slow motion jabbering replay.
LEAD!
Thunder Bay!!!!
VIVA CANADA!!!!!!!!!!!!
I like this game.

BAY SHOLD BE BATTING 5th. NO QUESTION ABOUT IT. FUCK LRLRLR
Maybe McMoron was right! :>)

They got 6 runs in 4 innings.
We have 6 innings of hitting to go.
More than doable.
Sat Apr 25, 05:28:00 PM

FUCK ME. I thought he'd at least get a couple of outs.
Shizer.
tito gambled and lost.

Somewhere Grady Little is laughing.
So who thought both starters would give up 8 runs?
We are not going to fucking lose this game after that kind of comeback.
1 doosh down, 2 to go
One more.
fuck ther ump
Okay...let's get that lead back.
Tito: "Had I known that the 'Good' MDC was gonna show up that inning, I would have gone to him right away".
Lyndon having a nice game.
Pretty sure Pedroia's getting the intentional unintentional walk here.
load 'em for flo?
bring it on.
looks more like veras can't find the zone at all.
Loaded again.
Papi, get it done.
Ortiz, rally killer? The good kind, I mean.
Well, yes, but they didn't look like they were going to give Pedroia anything on the inner 97% of the plate.
tiz popped to left last night against coke.
A bunt to 3rd would be super awesome here.
JUST GET IT IN THE AIR
WTF?
WTF FY????????????????
Well, it's a lead.
STUPID STUPID STUPID BASERUNNING. WTF??????
WITH YOUK UP NEXT. YOU STUPID CUNT.
Youk just got robbed of two RBI.

idiotic.
no he did not think there were 2 outs. he went as if tagging.
moron.
yanks blow 6-run lead
red sox blow 2-run lead
***
yeah 2 runs -- what a collapse.
nice work, fox
Did you know that Angel Berroa was AL ROY in 1973? Me neither.
At age -5!
FUCK.
Give me a break.
DP PLEASE
Fuckin' rain, fuckin' up my satellite. Fuck.
COME ON MDC.
NICE. ONE FUCKING MORE.
98.6 on that fastball.
Nasty.
Wow. I was sure that pitch was going to end up dropping softly into right field for a double.
Good Oki or shitty Oki?

Lowell: make them pay for that.
lowell hasn't done shit all day
OMG!!!!!!!!
R MOTHERFUCKING X
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Woooo!
HEALED!!!!!!!!!!
"lowell hasn't done shit all day"
He was saving up for that.
This game is insane.
ALBALADONGO!
I like how these guys are rising to my challenges.
THIS GAME IS CRAZY
For the sabermetrically inclined, both Burnett and Albaladejo have WPAs less than -0.5. Hilarious.
I'd like to see Ram-Ram warming.
Battle of the Ramirezes coming up.
Fuck football, the NFL draft has NOTHING on this.
