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).

«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 400 of 567 Newer› Newest»Fine, we'll continue the runs in every inning thing.
They probably figure they'll be ugly by then anyway.
True, I'd cope somehow!!!
The C.S. is in a relationship, sadly. And I don't think she is coming to our party Saturday. Pity. L could get loopy and make a move!
201, Nice.
L could get loopy and make a move!
Last time that happened, you moved across the border.
L on her way home now. I better shut up about this for now!
CS is in a relation and L could make a move. either both could be an issue or neither!
good things there's no record of our having this conversation.
Good luck hiding the comments, Allan. Of course, you could delete them all.
We were just talking about how war resisting is totally awesome. Why do you ask?
Ugh, tomorrow's softball game is against our "rival" team - they set up rival teams which you play twice a month or whatever, cool thing I guess...but this literally is a rivalry. We fucking hate each other, mainly because they cheat. We smoked them the first game of the year and they whined about something and weasled a tie out of it. They suck, and I really don't want to get in a fight on my birthday. But I just might.
It sounds like it'd be a win-win for Allan.
We were at a biggish meeting a few months ago. Room was packed. L turns to me and says she likes someone in the room (or says she has a crush on someone) and wonders if I know who it is.
I swear I took only .00000001 seconds, nodded in one direction, and said casually, "her, right?"
... she was dumbfounded. it was hilarious!!!!!!!!!!!
(not sure how i knew, but i knew)
I had a drill instructor that had a peacock tattooed on his leg. That way he could say he had a ... long as his leg.
Then there was the guy who had dolphins tattooed on his ... while we were in the Bahamas. When we pulled back into port the wives had a sign that said show us your dolphins.
L at her usual wednesday war resisters meeting. back at 930 or so.
ahh, cool.
(now you can delete all the other ones and leave my post there...it will look perfectly normal!)
C.S. may not be pro-penis.
L turns to me and says she likes someone in the room (or says she has a crush on someone) and wonders if I know who it is.
Point to yourself with a big fucking grin, and give her a thumbs up while nodding.
But we can dream can't we?
"Point to yourself with a big fucking grin, and give her a thumbs up while nodding."
...I don't know how I knew, but I knew.
The ball was more of a strike than a strike was a strike!
THE strike was a strike.
Almost like I snuck a shot or two of s1c's scotch.
S1C, just where were those dolphins tattooed? If it is where you are suggesting, wouldn't that be incredibly painful??
dp pls
don't be knocking my 20 year old scotch!!!
"Wake does not have command of his fastball tonight."
To most pitchers that would be a BAD thing!
Fuck.
Pedroia you're too short to be playing baseball!
Oh, poop.
Porn addict scored.
Ish, I thought your original version of a strike was a strike was a strike was very poetic (though I had no idea what it meant).
Two away.
0-3 now
Tangible.
Jeters it.
I don't have any great desire for a tattoo, but I though what if you'd tattoo a carrot on your penis and die your pubic hair green. that's style for ya!
That's retarded.
c'mon timmay!
Good.
Kottaras showing off his dance moves.
Wakiee!!!
Escapped
Nick, that is quite an image. But again, tattooing your penis seems like it would be quite painful and also hard to do. But then, what would I know, having no tattoos and no penis.
His dance moves are so... Canadian.
nice shit. classic sox-mfy game, 1.75 hours, only thru 3.5.
referring to the carrot tim? if so, totally!
You'd probably need to have the cute socialist do the tattooing. Just stare at her and that'll make it easier, logistically.
The best tattoo I saw was the one where the guy got implants for the breasts of the girl on his leg.
Nick, that is quite an image. But again, tattooing your penis seems like it would be quite painful and also hard to do.
You could just overdose on beta carotene.
that i was, nick, that i was.
S1C, I think you are pulling our leg.
I could see Eck getting a tattoo of a hairy piece of cheese surrounded in gas.
Going away for the computer now for awhile...happy threading, heres to a win! I may be back in a bit.
Bye, Tim. Happy birthday, happy studying.
Yeah, Amy, I imagine it would be. All that orange ...you'd have to tattoo the whole thing. I couldn't imagine. I hear though, that tattoos on bone are quite unpleasant. I have a friend with a large tattoo on the side of his head. gotta wonder.
He also has " This machine kills fascists" down his arm. Last I knew he was an elementary school teacher. good guy.
Swisher wasn't going to miss that one.
Wang lowered his ERA!!
14.46 to 14.34
OK, I am no longer playing the gullible one. :)
Good for him! Progress!
What's up all.........I was truly amazed Posada doesn't get ripped more for being such a pansy...I watched the play were Drew scored on Bay's hit 6 times now and he gave no effort trying to block the plate.....
Amy, no, was in the papers a couple of years ago. Guy had a babe on his calf and got botox injections to raise the breast of the tattoo.
ON FIRE
THREE ALARM FIRE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I thought Drew had no chance!!! Triple on-fire!!
firey 3!!
Raised Breast Tattoo
Drew!!!

Swisher wasn't going to miss that one.
some may have no idea what I am talking about but Nick Swhisher looks a lot like Joey Lawrence (from that Nell Carter show in the '80's.) and also Blossom
Don't you mean silicone injections?
Good (lucky?) baserunning by Drew.
s1c I think I heard about that.
Youk!!!
YOUK!!!
SULTAN OF SWEAT
We are the sultans... We are the sultans of SWEATTTT
SULTAN OF SWEAT!!!!
YES!!!
this is fun.
Hughes gets Wanged!!! by Youk!!!
Eck: crushed into the Red Sox bullpen.
Close enough.
YOUK!!
Are these Yankees really in second place??
9C, I will take a look at Swisher and check out the Joey Lawrence resemblance. I still don't see the Burnett/Doogie resemblance.
Right-central.
You are next, CC!
Benjamin - yeah it was silicone, the picture still freaks me out, but it is a cool tattoo
"You never think you're safe with a piece of cheese."
Youk smoking the cheese!
ah yes... when good dairy goes bad. (milk and cheese)
S1C, that is truly gross and stupid. Why would someone do that? I guess I am just square and "old school."
linescore fun
nyy has the 0101 pattern
we have the 1212 going

No , that is stupid.....
Yah, I can definitely see the Swisher/Joey Lawrence resemblance.
Joey Lawrence.
Nick Swisher.
Nice job Ben , and with his new do he looks more like him...
Nick Swhisher= Blossom,,,,just a thought for a nickname
Like I said, this guy is pretty damn good.
Amy - Maybe this one is more your liking? Lawn Mower
Molson seems like it should have a little more pride than to do these commercials, given their 225+ year history.
i recall the girl playing blossom was cute. ?
Jesus, someone get him a cycle....
Ooof should have slapped a not-safe-for-living-room sticker on that one, s1c! Hahaha
At least that one made me laugh!
But still...what about after the joke wears off and you are over 70, have no pubic hair, and feel really stupid about what was once funny?

not so much......Ted Waas from Soap fame played the dad.....
Teixiera in the back door.
mfy fucked up their linescore pattern -- they will lose.

Wake in line for yet another W
FUCK YOU ROGER!
Mayim Bialik played Blossom. I saw a recent photo. Not so cute.

Pubic hair falls out????
Benjamin is too fast for me!

You get a tattoo of pubic hair of course.
Yeah, so I have been told (about pubic hair).
oh, fuck all you people!
Allan's pissed that his pubic hair's gonna fall out.
hey where is henry's 6 year old wife?
ya gotta keep that shit trim anyway ...
hey where is henry's 6 year old wife?
It's a school night.
Hmm, Allan, what's pissing you off?
That's true. Then again you're not much on the facial hair anyways.
redsock said...
ya gotta keep that shit trim anyway ...
yes you do, it makes the penis look bigger.....
sadly, no. as my hair falls out of my head, it seems to be growing everywhere else. it's fucking disgusting.
BB for Papi.
Eck says Hughes not proud of his cheese. Cause when someone takes your cheese way back you're not gonna be confident in your cheese.
i'm not pissed.
????
as my hair falls out of my head, it seems to be growing everywhere else.
Is it growing on your cheese?
5% of me wants to grow out as big a beard as I can, just for JoS1 to piss Allan off. :>)
There are times that being the only woman here gets weird.
LAURA, WHERE ARE YOU??
redsock said...

I resemble that comment....
I was bummed about the disruption of the pattern more than the run itself. I figure it could just be the fulcrum for a nice palindrome.
Oh, just your comment about fucking all you people! Made me wonder where we went wrong!
If L reads these last 20 comments, she may vomit.
you were all dissing blossom!
Yeah, sometimes I feel like I am stuck in a 7th grade boys' locker room. :)
I'm waiting for the ironic comb-over to become hip.
I've said that when I go truly bald, I'll do a comb-over with my ear hair.
I'm young so I thought the blossom thing was an extension of the pubic hair discussion.
LOL re Blossom!
we need 1 here (121 21)
Yankee fan called into WEEI today and wanted to know why they didn't give FY an error last night but gave one to A-rod.
Gotta score one here.
Probably because A-Rod's a stupid dick and FY's a lovable dick.

a lot of yankee fans asked me that same question today....
should have given FY an E -- kept the MOTHERFUCKING NO HITTER going - yeah!
Bleh.
Line score pattern broken.
010111010
121202121
010111010
121202121
Fact: It is very hard to score in every single inning.
Possibly because FY had no business reaching that ball in the first place.
L pulling in! :>)
Yay! This place needs more estrogen.
John Travolta is to The Edge as Johnny Depp is to Keith Richards
Whatever happened to Sarah Gates and the Dietcoke Girl? There used to be more balance here.
Pah, Matsui.
Does she go through the thread any?
pedro up
good question, Amy. dunno. I'm all for a bit more balance here.
When can Emma start threading, Nick?
Sit.
LOOKING
Every time someone types "Pedro," my heart flutters a bit.
Where is Pedro these days?
DO: You're just making it up as you go?
Eck: That's right.
Where is Pedro these days?
Waiting by the phone.
when you all clean up your act!
That'd take away half the fun, though. She's still pretty innocent when it comes to (un)adulterated language.
We can have side by side laptop sessions. Sometimes she reads over my shoulder and I just scroll up and down to the more polite parts.
Good thing the force out was available.
Amy - B-fly says she'll join when she goes to college.
Cleaning up our act here seems unlikely. I guess this will never be PG rated.
I would be embarrassed for even my 24 year old daughter to read some of what goes on here (for example, the pubic hair/penis tattoo stuff).
TDCG is probably playing WOW
OK, I look forward to B-Fly. That will be this fall, right?
if she chooses WoW over Sox/MFY, she's got a serious problem.
there are posters here several years younger than your daughter, amy!
and I can take credit for that, Amy! still I'll blame it on all of you.
She plays WOW while listening to the game
Amy - yes this fall at Marist
3 years here!
True, Allan, but they are not my children.
Great school, S1C. I have had a number of students who went there for undergrad and loved it.
I've got to go soon. my radio show's at 10 and I haven't gathered up any music yet.
That would be interesting to have B-Fly in here! I'm looking forward to it.
i assume we say nothing that would be out of line for any 13 year old.
Hi all.
Rained out again at the field.
No matter, I was glad to get home in time to catch the rest of one of the few games I actually get to SEE.
Great thread so far :)
Loved the links the tattoo!
Mostly though, LOVE THIS SCORE!
Nick can people listen online to your radio show?
I am sure my kids have heard and said worse. But not from their MOTHER. That's the embarrassing part. Not what is said, but that I said part of it!
Hi, SoSock. Rainy down there this week also, huh?
Not at all. Although at this point they'd be wondering what pubic hair is. Because, you know. This ain't the 70s.
No matter, I was glad to get home in time to catch the rest of one of the few games I actually get to SEE.
You still beat L back.
Bay Kay
Amy my parents are 50 and I can't imagine either of them talking about stuff like this. Although my dad does like to say "That's what she said" sometimes!
i appreciate you hanging in there with us frat boys, amy!
Ram-Ram loves his cheese.
Another Quality start by Wakefield
Amy, very rainy. A couple of nasty lightening/wind storms last night and again tonight.
My buddy Bob, whom you guys have said hi to before, (as a matter of fact, he's heading over here now I believe) has an oldd house built in the 1890's. Massive Maple trees in the front yard. It's a historic site here, used to be a stagecoach stop - seriously. He lost 3 HUGE maples in the front. I stopped by on my way home. Very nasty, but just missed the house, only a bit of damage on the old wrap-around porch.
I'm glad I don't participate in any Eck drinking games.
Shit.
It's always interesting. Sort of like being a sociologist learning about a different culture! (And let's face it, if it bothered me, I would just leave.)
FUCK YOU, DAMON.
berkshireradio.org for the stream. I do two shows that alternate bi-weekly, wed at 10pm. one is funk and soul, the other psychedelic noise.

Damn Damon
total BS
More Yankee fans at Fenway than there would be at the Toilette.
Sounds scary, SoSock. I hate seeing mature trees knocked down, whether by humans or nature.
Frag, back to backs
Fucking hell.
what the hell is this?
this score is not making me happy. holy fuck fuck. no fucking beasts with two fucking back-to-backs.
crap crap
Poop!
and the yanks go bam-bam against ram-ram!!! (/sterling)
Boy the flood gates open when Ram-Ram breaks his scoreless innings streak.
Cock balls hanging cheesecake arseface dingleberries.
