Red Sox - 001 000 020 - 3 7 0It was a poor night from start to finish.
Angels - 030 000 30x - 6 10 2
In the first, Wakefield got the first two outs on only seven pitches. He then loaded the bases on two walks and a HBP, but escaped trouble. In the second, he was in hot water right away. A walk, single, fielder's choice, double and single = a 3-0 LAA lead.
Boston did not have many chances against the Bronx Bonger's brother (6.2-4-1-0-2-8, 101). They had two on with one out in the second, but came up empty. In the third, Jacoby Ellsbury singled with one out, stole second, took third on catcher Jeff Mathis's throwing error, and scored on David Ortiz's sac fly.
Including Ortiz's fly out, Weaver set down 12 of his final 14 batters; no one reached second base until the eighth inning.
At that point, though, Boston trailed 6-1. Justin Masterson took over in the seventh, his third appearance in four days (which also included a cross-country flight). He was not sharp. Bobby Abreu singled and stole second, Vlad Guerrero reached on an infield single, Torii Hunter hit a sac fly, Kendry Morales doubled to right, Gary Matthews was walked intentionally, and Mathis singled in two runs.
With one out in the top of the eighth, Ellsbury singled and Pedroia doubled. Ortiz fanned and Kevin Youkilis reached on an infield single. That hit and Chone Figgins's throwing error scored LBJ and FY, but the Sox bats could do no more.
At 1-3, the Red Sox are now sitting in the dank AL East basement.

Tim Wakefield (2008: 4.13, 112 ERA+; Spring 2009: 15 IP, 5.40 ERA) / Jered Weaver (2008: 4.33, 103 ERA+; Spring 2009: 17.1 IP, 5.71 ERA)
Weaver suffered shoulder stiffness and a back strain this spring, but LA manager Mike Scioscia says he's ready to go.
He got up to the mid-90s [last weekend] and got up and down seven times. He should be able to get to 100 pitches easily.George Kottaras makes his 2009 debut tonight.

NY - 2
KC - 0
Dumbo 2-run single
it should be 1-1 right now, fucking royals 2nd baseman (whatever his fucking name is) should have goe to second for the force leaving it 1st & 3rd instead of 2nd & 3rd for Posada to drive them in...
EDIT: FUCKING Swisher just drove in another run.. cunt.
Also, Ponson sucks.
3-1 NY now.
NY playing KC? This should be good for some laughs
Other than the inevitable laughs at Toucan Sam on the mound.
Ol' mop on for KC.
Full house at Kauffman?
Nope, ish, I'm back home for the holiday weekend.
(Kaufman is the name of the building I live in when I'm up at school)
4-1 Canine-Marriers in the 8th

If I'm going to panic, it's not going to be about a couple of losses.
This is baseball. We are in it until September, and Baseball Deities willing, beyond.
We like the journey at least as well as the destination.
As for the rest of life, I wish it made as much sense as baseball! Not much, but just a little...?

Maybe Silva thought, "Let's see, I'm 99% irrelevant, what single word could I use after THREE games to put me over the top? PANIC!!!!"
Does silva do all the goofy photoshop stuff himself or do people contribute?
5-1 Os in the 6th. They've quietly put up the #2 OBP in the AL.
FINALLY got tickets (at face value) for the Tragically Hip in Kitchener...it's a Canadian sweet-spot thing.
Fucking Longoria. 5-3 Os in the top of the 8th.
ooooo we get to see the old/"new" jerseys tonight
Oh wait, its the road alternates tonight.
Tragically Hip, an inexplicable Canadian thing... Although not as inexplicable as Barenaked Ladies.
ANDY: "Alternate hanging sox hats tonight"
Zen, how's that decaf coming along?

I enjoy(ed) the first barenaked ladies album, which came out when I was like 6. Everything else after that was pure crap.
There really is something inexplicable about the Hip that makes me have a soft spot for them. Must be their über-canadianness. It's just such...cottage music.
I wonder how many innings I'll be able to stay awake for.
tim--the new gray road jerseys aren't the same as the old, these have the ornate lettering, and of course, cray names on back.
I could see it being good cottage music.
I don't hate the Hip. They're fine. Just over-rated, but like you said, it's a Canuck thing.
Barenaked Ladies suck!
and of course, cray names on back.
:( you had to remind me.
by the way, I meant to say "crappy" names, not cray. That damn P, I need to get it fixed!
Fucking Navarro. 5-4 Os with one out in the top of the 9th.
didn't the sox wear the "old' jersey's last year for a throwback game or two? I remember it was very early in the season vs toronto as the jays wore their baby blues at home.
we did wear them at San Diego for their 80s night.
I was wondering about cray. I thought it was gray.
While I wait for the game to start, there are ads for OHL playoffs. Mississauga vs Brampton. Battle of Peel Region. Whoo-hoo.
on my blog, I can go back and see messed up words and fix. in this fast paced environment, I might have a lot of Ps missing. I need some Flomax for my P problem.
that was sad, they had Drew talking about his old teammate who died, Daryl Kile
We could all sto ty ing Ps in solidarity.
I just thought "cray" was some sort of cool new way of saying "awful" haha
Uh-oh, Angels announcers. _re_aring myself for Allan bitching...
lol - battle of the peel region.
i might be coming up with a lot of those if I lose this P entirely.
Tim, you're the only _erson here who would appreciate that.
those hats...yuck.
showing the Adenhart ceremony now
battle of the eel region?
Evening all, so sad to watch this ceremony for Adenhart.
FKR - 100 000 021 - 4 09 0
BAL - 200 030 00X - 5 11 0
what's andy wearing?
It's very sad that he died so young, but these cheesey videos, and fans with signs "now you are an angel" is nauseating.
yeah, this is sad.
is that penny with the hiked up socks? if so, yes!
I'll ask Andy what he's wearing...
GDGD literally says "Delayed (Ceremony)".
"GDGD literally says "Delayed (Ceremony)"."
See the comments from post below this one--second time today!
Still typing on the netbook, but getting my laptop back tomorrow, in working order, I hope. But I guess I am doing as well as Jere. I seem to be able to type P.
Yeah, did you see that one sign...
"Now [sic] your pitching for god"
Wow.
eel region, where great sushi comes from?
Oo, I like these unis. (Except for the names.)
I can't believe they said "play ball" right after the moment of silence--just like in The Natural when they scatter the guy's ashes from a plane over the field and then the ump yells Play Ball!!!
only the finest lake ontario mutated carp sushi!
Pitching for god, how revolting - and complete with misspelled "your".
Face Jr on the mound.
I like the uniforms too. Minus the damn hanging socks cap.
Jerseys are nice, sans the names and hats.
Sorry to break it to you redsock, but this game is Remy-free on NESN as well!
He really reminds of his brother. Hope his pitching is as ineffective.
Allan is home today b/c it's a holiday, but I haven't seen him yet. He's freaking out about something. Computer-related, I believe.
Balls.
Well that inning sucked.
Remy free? Who's on?
Has anyone noticed how much weight Remy has lost?
Any word from Andy yet?
Sean McAdam, supposedly.
Apparently remy is under the weather, so they're having a variety of people (who am I kidding - its going to be all guys, obviously. eye roll.) didn't catch whose on now.
yup, McAdam.
oh, "under the weather" was supposed to be in quotes.
anyway game 4 and already in tim fashion - going to eat dessert and watch on the big tv for an inning or two...be back soon!
good start for timmeh
Here's Allan now. Not threading, but watching the game next to me.
ANDY:
Grey sweatshirt hooded, regular style blue red sox hat kinda old. My wife is wearing all blue with a hat. We are about 7 people from the end of the field side seats just on the outfield side of the angels dugout. Section 108 seats 3 and 4.
Amy, there's a pic above from Andy. But Allan's having problems now and can't get any more pics up for a while.
"Under the weather" in quotes? About some people that means drunk or hungover, but I don't know what it means in this case.
crap!
I like non-remy braodcasts. no rem-douche
and we're out of it
yoooooook
Youk with a cheapie. Bats still shattering like crazy this year.
what is the black preston diamond patch they are wearing on the sleeve for?
Preston Gomez, who also died in a car accident--Angels exec who used to be a manager.
i liked the solid contact by Lowell
GDGD's really shitting the bed tonight.
Those hats are awful.......I still think they look like testicles...
When did he die? During the off-season?
I can think of only 3 , but does anyone know how many players have died during the season? morbid question, I just realized that..
9: There is a site called thedeadballera dot com which tells a lot about baseball deaths.
Yes Preston died a few months ago
Ray Chapman comes to mind immediately
There's a lot more than 3, I think. Ray Chapman, for one - the guy who died being hit by a pitch.
The two Cleveland players in the boating accident.
Corey Lidle
Munson
Daryl Kile
Allan says Varitek died during the '07 season
okay, NESN, when the pitcher throws to his left, it means you have to cut to the shot of first base.
L-girl said...
Corey Lidle
He died after the season right?
Josh Hancock was in-season, too
watching wake pitch is nothing short of slow torture.
FREE BUCHHOLZ
Lidle was days after the season ended for his team, but during the playoffs. And he almost hit ME with his plane.
Rexy in the booth with DO
Back after the shitstorm. This Rex Huddler fellow sounds like hes a womanizer.
http://www.cbc.ca/sports/indepth/baseball-tragicdeaths.html
I typed that comment a long time ago. Having a major computer delay.
Here he is! Our neighbour George Kottaras.
Steve Olin and Tim Crews
Spring training is usually a time of renewal, but it was time of mourning in 1993 when both these Cleveland Indians pitchers were killed in a boating accident
My friend raved about Rex Hudler after the way he interacted with the crowd at Yankee Stadium once when he was a center fielder.
Tek could've done that.
2 strange ones:
Len Koenecke
After being thrown off an American Airlines flight for being too drunk, the Brooklyn Dodgers outfielder, who looked like he was going to be thrown off the team at the end of the season, boarded a charter flight in Detroit and started a fight in the cockpit while the plane is in the air, over Toronto. After a wild battle, the pilot kills Koenecke by hitting him over the head with a small fire extinguisher.
Ed Morris
A fish fry in this 32-year-old pitcher's honour turned deadly after he passed away from stab wounds to the chest sustained during a fight. Morris pitched one season for the Cubs before joining the Boston Red Sox for another three years. He won a combined 33 games from 1928-29.
Quick "triple" for JE
That's the second time a throw has been errant trying to gun down Laura's boy.
Two guys have died at sea, I think. One was leading a double life and on a boat from NY to Boston, from one family to another. They think he jumped off.
C'mon Papi!
REX: TAKE A BREATH BIG GUY
if that tarp shot had been wider, we woulda seen Andy
Nix, is that Hamburgler Joba?
Lidle, during playoffs, but I figured that counted too. Plus he almost hit Jere.
Computer working again.
And my boy crosses the plate. Yay.
Papi is smokin the ball 2nite.
YOu can see how Rex would be able to charm a crowd--even the bleacher creatures
speedy dustin. I'd get an RBI single if I was you, Youk
Jere, that story about a double life, jumped off a boat, that's wild.
Allan is musing about a Boston manager who killed himself during the season. 19-oh-something.
I'm posting for 2 now, you see.
Len Koenecke, what year was that? Crazy story.
Benjamin, Joba indeed. someone over at SoSH made it cause of the shirt joba was wearing in the pic. yes, he's actually wearing that shirt, the shirt is not photoshopped!
Rex: And then I got down on one knee, and asked Torii if he'd spend the rest of his life with me
He's talking about Stahl -- "it drove me to it, boys." I forget what year the ship jump was. Old school, though.
Wow, I'm really missing something not having NESN.
too funny jere
Yeah, Chick Stahl, right?
Old school, now there's an imprecise term for ya. People call me old school.
Len "Let's roll" Koenecke?
Well, I just meant it wasn't a Carnival Cruise Ship he jumed off
Angels announcers acting like Kottaras is catching the knuckler for the 1st time ever.
Ha, yeah, that makes sense. (Carnival Crooze)
Wake's back on the fuck train. Hey, was that term used the last 2 games?
It's just hitting me now that Tim Crews's name is boat related in a way.
I saw fuck train used in a thread this week and didn't know what it was.
I mean, I could guess, but it was new to me.
Tim is back and talking in the third person, ready to saddle up on the fuck train!
haha, multiple fuck train comments - jos telepathy is in action!
I remember sick jokes about Crews' name at the time.
AA-OO-GA! AA-OO-GA! Angels announcers just said Red Sox are clearly better team than the Yankees. You heard it here folks.
How's Shawn Figgins doin' today?
Don, come on, wait til the out is made b4 proclaiming it an out. And Drew...try harder to not get tagged.
Just catching up. Wincing over Allan's comment about Tek's death in 2007...
This Rex dude really does sound like a crowd charmer (a.k.a. bullshit artist)
He's got so many stories, I feel that if he mixes in something thats completely untrue it will blend right in.
"It's hard enough to help my wife father four" - Rex
Why is your wife fathering??? :P
God, who is this guy on NESN and what the hell is he talking about??
He charmed that wife o' his at least four times
HAHAHAHAHAHA
Rex goes on a fucking ramble for 10 minutes and takes a breather.
Don: ".....3-2 to Lowell."
Longtime major leaguer and current Angels announcer Sexy Rexy Hulder
His wife father four?!?! Ha ha.
What a night not to have NESN. Sounds very entertaining.
Hey did you people notice Mike Lowell's new at bat music on TV last series?
I think that was the most annoying ramble I have heard from an announcer. He just went on and on and on.
And if Don says Remy is "under the weather" one more time, I will start doubting that he is really sick.
I didn't hear it on this broadcast. What was it?
Remy slept through the alarm is what happened
You mean what did he say? I have no clue...he just kept talking and talking. AND he still is. Now talking about Schilling. Don sounds quite lethargic in comparison.
Lowell switched from Sabbath's Iron Man to Bombtrack by Rage Against the Machine.
He's half Cuban, half Puerto Rican, and half white guy from the suburbs.
That was re Lowell's music
Three halves, Jere? How does that work?
Amy, I was asking about Lowell's music, not what Rex Hudler said. :)
The problem with Rex is that while he talks as much as a Bill Lee or Denis Leary type, he's just a little too serious so that Don can't just laugh and let him go.
Amy, Lowell's a man and a half, you didn't know?
Yes, sorry, Laura. My thread skills are rusty. Need to get back into shape!
NESN just went to commercial playing Truckin' (Grateful Dead) - awesome.
Don, way to go, he says. As if Don had been the guest!
Don looked psyched that his visit to the booth was over. WOW
Well, he does play third base, so I guess that makes sense.
Andy's mom saw him on TV.
I did see a gray sweatshirt, but no hat. It was a crowd closeup that felt third-basey.
oh no Ken Rosenthal
I assume Andy's mom saw Andy, not Lowell or Rex. Boy, I do need a refresher course.
Kottaras single. Or as ProJo calls him, "Kotteras."
No problem Amy :)
Yay, hit for Kottaras!
Fuckin Shit!
They actually doubled up Jacobo Arbenz. Well, less Rosenthal anyway.
Just got word on those Hip tickets I scored, couple seats over from the sound booth - aka, best seats in the house (IMO) - I'm just stoked because they're face value, not scalped.
/digress
Dreamboat needs to hit. Jesus...
My computer's fucking up again, plus it's too late for me, so I'm outta here. Allan may soon appear...
G'night all, see you soon.
Wonder if the Angels jerseys are like 100000000 thread count. Everyone seems fatter than normal in them. Especially Abreu.
So who's policing us?
Night L! Good having you back for threading, see ya soon!
I am off to bed. Two late nights in a row and traveling too many miles makes staying up for a west coast game too difficult. See you all another day.
It's all about anarchy Jere.
Houdini, commence.
uh oh.
