Yankees - 010 110 200 - 5 11 0Yet another Yankees starter failed to finish the third inning and the Red Sox bullpen held the line to notch the seventh straight win over the New Yorkers this season.
Red Sox - 121 200 00x - 6 9 0
Wang (2.2-6-4-3-3) threw 29 pitches in each of the first two innings. He walked three in the first inning, with Bay's single putting the Sox on the board. In the second, Nick Green and Dustin Pedroia struck back-to-back RBI doubles. Mike Lowell drove Wang's first pitch of the third over the Wall for a dong. However, Wang's miserable performance did lower his ERA: 14.46 to 14.34!
Kevin Youkilis smashed a two-run dong into the Red Sox pen off Phil Hughes in the fourth to give Boston a 6-2 lead.
New York battled back -- back-to-back home runs by Johnny Damon and Mark Teixeira (4-for-5) off Ramon Ramirez to start the seventh closed the gap to 6-5. Ram-Ram also allowed a two-out single, but Hideki Okajima came in and struck out Shemp. A leadoff walk was bunted to second in the eighth, but Jeemer fanned both CI and Damon to close that door.
In the ninth, Jonathan Papelbon walked Slappy with one out, but struck out Robinson Cano and then got Dumbo to fly to left.
J.D. Drew tripled and walked three times and George Kottaras smacked two doubles. David Ortiz walked twice in four trips and had a fly out to deep center.
Boston now has a one-game lead over the Yankees in the East. The Blue Jays were rained out in Texas and are 2 GB.
***
Chien-Ming Wang (14.46, 31 ERA+) / Tim Wakefield (4.50, 106 ERA+)
Since coming back from the disabled list, Wang has chopped 20 runs off his ERA (!), but has still surrendered 16 hits in 12.2 innings. In his start last Thursday against Texas, he went 4.2-7-5-1-5, 69.

Jed Lowrie could begin a rehab stint in the minors in little more than a week. Terry Francona: "We need to certainly look at him the next three days, let him have the next three days before we contemplate anything. See where his strength is."
In his last seven starts, Josh Beckett has a 1.70 ERA; in his last four outings, it's 0.31. Last night, he became the first Red Sox pitcher to allow one hit or less in six or more scoreless innings against the Yankees in 19 years (Greg Harris, 8-1-0-0-7, June 7, 1990).

Fuck the Yankees.
Win.

Fuck the Yankees!
Let's push Wang's ERA over 20 again.
I wonder what his ERA would be if he gives up 8 runs in 0.2 innings.
Last night, NESN was on both channels 74 (Rogers) and 472 (EI).
And tonight .....?
It's 14.46 now.
0.2 IP and 8 ER = 17.69
Gotta do better than that!
Wang averaging 2.6 baserunners per inning.
472/EI ...... ESPN
fuck
74 .... not epsn but what???
NESN highlights?
NESN
FUCK YEAH
FUCK ESPN
FUCK THE YANKEES
FUCK THE YANKEES!
Last night was fun, let's have another good one.
Derek Jeter is the recipient of strike one. Thanks Don.
Also the recipient of the first out.
Nice, 26 to go.
What do you think about the lopsided hit batter total they were talking about yesterday. Something like 9 red sox hitters were plunked, and only 2 yankees?
Fuckin' slingbox just crapped out.
"It's gonna grab some wall..."
Fuckin' doucheria.
I went to a friend's house last night to watch the game (he has Direct TV). It was fun hearing Orsillo and Eck. I dread listening to Sutcliffe tonight.
"he's all over it" -- and he hits it just above the standings?
fuck that guy. a puny single.
c'mon timmeh!
Night 2 of trying to empty the liquor cabinet, I think we'll start with the scotch tonight!!!
MFY's need to be pounded.
No damage done.
Oh stuff work.
Morning all
If Girardi was smart, he'd have the pen up right now.
S1C, you trying to get rid of the liquor for a reason?
G'morning, Lord. Or just past midnight, no?
Just past midnight.Think I'll carry on for mins or so.
Anyone else have some bets with Yankee fans? I have a season long bet as follows:
$10 per series, if it's a sweep it's $20.
$10 best record at the all star break
$20 best record at the end of the season.
So far I'm up $40 with the two sweeps. A win tonight gets me to at least $50.
Not bad, Dr. Jeff. Nice to win and win!
If we sweep the season series, Dr Jeff, my wife will divorce me.
FFire
Lord Lynch said...
If we sweep the season series, Dr Jeff, my wife will divorce me.
gotta take one for the team, good buddy.
Lord, my husband seems barely able to watch.
We watch in silence. Or we talk, but not about the game.
Was that 1912 season our best ever against the Yankees (19-2, IIRC)?
I guess it is my singing in the morning that annoys the wife the most....
an early visit!!!
crowd should be right on wang's ass now ...
We need to make them pay bay!!!
Oh, my love for ice cream rises.
it doesn't melt!!!
Amy I'm surprised you're not more talkative. I would be if I were with a Yankee fan. Not about the game but in a good mood!
Colombia 1 v 0 Peru. If anyone cares...
Thundahhhhhhhhh
Thunderous
Oh, how I love to take the lead first and early.
Jeez, good thing it was Damon out there.
Lord what sport? :>)
nice throw, johnny
Ish, Harvey and I have learned that the best way to watch together is quietly. If one of us cheers, it just pisses off the other.
It's one reason I started to game thread. I can express my joy quietly! He doesn't read what I type.
jerk that wang for a dong
GoodGuys 1 v 0 Bad Guys
13 games from divorce....
Ok, we have seen some life lately lets extend that hit streak right now!!!
Yikes, three BB already.
Time for kotsie to endear himself with the home fans.
Walking in some runs here would be nice.
pick up the phone, joe!
MFY PEN IS UP!!!!!!!!!!!
hahahahahaa
Would it be wrong for me to want a walked-in run?
pen!
Walkies!
Walk in a run!
Wang has gotten AJitis!!!
I told my wife to pause the game if i was late because I knew Wang would implode yet again. How many chances does a guy get? Oh yeah, Lugo.
Eck, stop giving him advice.
Bleh.
Oh, well. A run and lots of pitches thrown by Wang.
fragg
fuck.
A third of his pitch count in one inning, though.
29 pitches
I know that graphic text is all the rage these days, but it bugs me when the graphics aren't flowing with the rhythm of the words.
(don't know if you saw the same car ad I saw)
17 balls, 12 strikes
"there's an ace"
On that note. Night Night.
night, m'lord.
g'night Lynch.
FUCK.
Lynch says night and passeballa goes yard.
ugh
better a solo shot than some 3-walk, 29 ptich crap.
ok, never mind. no more hits!
Good night, Lord.
Harvey complaining loudly about Eck.
Why complain when your team just tied up the game?
OUT!!!
bad call
Fuck you, ump.
Stupid ump.
Fuckin awful call.
fuck that shit. not that I'm negative for the game as a whole, but I'm keen on it playing out differently.
FUCK YOU SSWISH!!!!!!!!!
Make up call
Nice!! So glad that was not Lugo out there.
Green bails the ump out.
Ump atones for his shitty call.
DP -- and no run scores!
If its high let it fly jetes
FUCK THE YANKS
Minimal damage.
excellent. HR sucks, but that's OK! we knock Lugo (rightly, I'll agree now), but Green's had some nice fielding, but crap throws. nice shot there.
FUCK YOU, GM!
There's a reason they're called the MFYs...and that reason is...
Fuck the Yankees!
Green jetered that one.
Love those infield hits...
impotent motherfuckers!
This is a fun game. Even though it's tied it feels like we're ahead.
middle finger Yankees.
Wang's got nothing. We need more runs.
lucky backhand from dumbo
Kottaras!!!
PLUGGIN THE GAP.
!!
Yes!
Actually, the outfield hits are nice too.
The fourth Yankee outfielder IS the baseball.
doUble
KOT 1/2 DONG
Kottaras looks so young.
Fuck the yankees!
Oui oui kottaras!
I was worried it was going to ground-rule. adventure on the high seas!
This is a fun game. Even though it's tied it feels like we're ahead.
I can't shake that feeling either.
making ontario proud.
OK I'm fucking sick of this shit, Tito. Pedroia DOES NOT bunt. What THE fuck man??!!
HAHA
WE LOVE YOU NICK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Swish, swishes on the ball, yeah boy!!!
BAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA he totally missed it!!!
FUCK YEAH!
Swish that, fucker!
Everybody have fun tonight! Everybody Wang chun tonight!
Thanks, RS!
mmm...manly Posada shoulder rub.
Pen up again! HA!
I like that phrase from Eck for a big inning. A nuclear inning.
Wang not taking any chances, tags him out himself.
it was only a matter of time before eck said "wang" and not wong
Maybe he's reading the thread. :>)
Is this the first time he has gotten this far ahead of a hitter?
Although if he was reading the thread he'd have MANY more profane slip-ups!
hard and foul! just like the language here.
"This is so foul, its ridiculous!"
We love you eck.
Good at bat for Youk.
Wang is poop.
Oh, well, still a good at bat.
Très poop.
when I was a kid I always associated this kind of at bat with Wade Boggs. soaking up the pitches, foul after foul.
Bay looked totally fooled by that first pitch.
Youk pounds on Francona's padded seat... Tito standing behind it like he was anticipating that.
And the 2nd....
Dennis if you are reading this, I will fondle your testicles if you mention us on TV.
Ugh.
Shitty start by Bay...this means doung.
Man on 3rd 1 out and failure to get him home, ugh.
Still, two runs so lets shut them down Wakie.
C'est ugly.
Tim, are you finally done with school and free to watch games?
another 29 for the wangster -- 58 thru 2
First pitch swinging from Damon.
No, wait, NESN sucks and didn't show us the first pitch.
This guy is good. Too bad he is on the Yankees.
Almost caught.
i saw the first pitch.
Eck: that's an out anywhere in the United States but here.
Except the Public Toilet.
get back to work, wang!!!!!!
Nicely done.
6 pitches, nice.
No Amy, still in school throughout the summer...but I have two six-week classes which are ending next saturday (the 20th) so, I finished the work for those yesterday after the game, just need to study for the exams.
A lot of stuff still happening, just a slower week this week. I should be doing work but its my birthday tomorrow and its the Yankees.
DR
Dr DoubleDouble!
That's it! Over the wall, not against it!
OHHHH THE DOCTAH'S COMIN!
Nice dong Michael, nice.
A sharp cure for all ills..
Happy birthday, Tim! It's always good to see you here, so you don't need any excuses for my sake.
Bah.
Almost, Papi.
PAPIaww.
bah indeed. still good power on that. good sign, no tangibles.
Kotsay having a nice week.
My computer shat the bed much like Wang is.
Wong is not long for this game (eck)
Time to abuse Phil Hughes
Thanks amy! No excuses, I try to catch as many games as I can, just can't watch AND thread...I should be back more in July, theres shit all going on for school after about the first week. But I am going white water rafting for a weekend!
In honour of Tim, the Red Sox got their spinach steamin' tonight!
let's chase the start before 3 innings AGAIN
Swisher copped a feel while he was in there.
Sounds good, Tim. I have never been white water rafting, but it looks like fun.
Fans being nice to Swisher.
The only place Swisher can show his dong is in the right field seats.
Love the steamed spinach! They better not stop till they're up by double digits!
Where is L?
YES
Another starter goes 2.2
BAAAAAAAHAHAHAHA.
I love how Girardi pulls him after he STRIKES OUT Green.
HAHA 2 and 2/3!
why would they take out Wang after the K and before facing a ~.200 batter (who isn't Ortiz)?
Glad I'm betting heavily on these games. God, odds-givers are stupid.
Girardi pulls his Wang.
he wanted wang to leave on a good note!!!!!
L at her usual wednesday war resisters meeting. back at 930 or so
Wang yanked prematurely.
L at her usual wednesday war resisters meeting. back at 930 or so
Bet there's a cute socialist there.
PHUCK PHIL THE PHRANCHISE
He should be good for 5 or 6 runs, no?
Ben: That was the other meeting, last night, which she skipped. (She is cute, too!)
I'm not an activist but I'd go to the war resister meeting to see the cute socialist.
Then again I also accidentally joined Cross Country in middle school because they had donuts at the meeting.
I'm just saying another cute socialist could push her return back to 10:30.
BALKKKKKK
Balk?
She has some serious tattoos on her arms, though, which I'm not a fan of. L does not care!
Balksay.
Allan I think you'd get over it quickly.
how long has Wake been waiting (not that he minds, of course)?
mmm... cute socialist at war resisters meetings. can it get any better? oh right. Sox Rule!!!!1!1!!
Yeah, I don't get the tattoo thing. Won't all those people be wanting them off when their muscles start to sag and their wrinkles arrive? Seems rather short-sighted.
