Blue Jays - 020 020 000 - 5 10 0Johnathan Papelbon loads the bases with one out in the ninth, but strikes out the next two batters for the save.
Red Sox - 000 320 01x - 6 10 0
The winning pitcher (Okajima, 3 pitches) and losing pitcher (Brian Tallet, 7 pitches) each faced only one batter. Jeemer got the last out in the eighth once play had resumed and Tallet walked Ortiz to start the Boston eighth.
The Sox went ahead on Casey Kotchman's fielder's choice -- after David Ortiz had walked, Drew doubled and Varitek was intentionally walked. Kotchman's hot shot was to the right of Lyle Overbay at first base; it rolled away from him and his only play was to second base for the force, as Flo scored.
The Yankees beat the White Sox 5-2 in 10 innings and the Twins held on to beat the Rangers 3-2, so Boston remains 6 GB in the East, but is now 2.5 GA of Texas in the Wild Card.
10:12 PM: Rain delay with two outs in the top of the eighth and a runner at third base.
Beckett (5-5-5-5-9, 108) did not have it for the third consecutive start, throwing 80 pitches in the first three innings. He allowed a three-run homer to Aaron Hill and a two-run dong to Rod Barajas.
Boston got five hits in the fourth and RBIs from J.D. Drew, Jason Varitek and Jacoby Ellsbury. Jason Bay tied the game in the fifth with his 29th home run.
13.1 innings, 18 hits, 15 runs (including eight dongs).
That's the damage done to Beckett in his last two outings by the Blue Jays (August 18) and Yankees (August 23). It came as a bit of a shock, as in 16 starts before those outings, Beckett had a 1.93 ERA over 116.1 innings. John Farrell insists there is nothing physically wrong.
Jacoby Ellsbury hopes to play tonight after suffering a left high-ankle sprain last night. Francona was "hopeful" LBJ could play and said the injury didn't seem to be "anything more than a nagging thing".

And no runs tonight. Yet, at least.
Whew, thank you!
Big K for Saito!
Alright, through that inning
Score runs
Since July 11, Saito has a 1.17 ERA (2 runs in 15.1 innings).
I shit on him, too, but he has been solid for the last month +.

You know what would be really cool? The Red Sox could score some runs, and then not allow any more runs. Gosh that would be neato.

But that is against the rules, right?

First impressions are hard to shake.
Remember the other day we were talking about guys who have a good Sept or October and the fans love him for years and years? This is the opposite syndrome. We all have the impression Saito sucks, even though he hasn't sucked in a while.
But that is against the rules, right?
For this game, yes, I believe so.
Let's go Shakespeare
GDGD alert:
"Toronto Blue Jays shortstop Marco Scutaro left the game due to an injured head."
I've really like Saito this season. My only complaint is that he can't strand inherited runners for shit. (8 of 12 have scored)
Shutting the laptop for the night. Go Dirty Water!
160.9 KPH pitch from Bard
Just got in to Kitchener from Hamilton.
Jesus christ, what is it with us and throwing at their heads?
I like Bard's beard. I want mine back.
Dog bless the mute button.
Alright
Time for some more runs
Barajas checking his bat to see if there are any cheese stains on it.
"Take me Out to the Ballgame Presented by Coca-Cola"???
WTF give me a break, they don't even do that in minors.
Why the showtunes at Fenway?
I do not want to hear people singing anything when I'm listening to the game on the radio, it might be entertaining at the stadium, over the radio, not so much.
I must say, that was a very uninspiring rendition. She was mailing it in.
Do they do FGBA every game now in Fenway?
MFY into extras. 2-2.
cancer patients? wow they're really pulling out all the stops to get to their 5 mil goal.
I'm surprised the Planters Peanut Co or the Cracker Jack Corp of America doesn't sponsor TMOTTBG.

Come on V-Mart, crush a dong here so we don't have to suspend this fucker.
Ugh. Who needs the Vick-E-Mart? Not me.
Eww, the wave
the wave
come on, fenway fans, have some self-respect
The wave during rain. Hmmm...
these innings are suddenly hi-lev.
any sign of wagner?
snider walks and avoids the golden shower
Rays lose.
OUT!
snider runs into a big cactus!
Fuck Yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WOOOO out at home. But the tarp is called for..
PRICKED BY THE CACTUS!!!!!
WHEEEEEEEEEE
FUCK rain....this is gonna be suspended
Alright, that's not the way I prefer to get outs, but I'll take it
Bay's 13th outfield assist of the season
Good play by Tek, but also a really bad slide by Snider.
Manny batting with bases loaded, two outs.
Suspended game for sure looking at the radar.
Struck him out looking.
The Jays do have a visit left to Fenway, so look for a 1.2 header on Sunday.

How was that slide bad? That was just a great play, not to many catchers make that play....
They're going to suspend it and play it out tomorrow, I would assume (since tomorrow's game is a 7 pm start) - weather permitting, of course.
It wasn't a bad slide either, it looked like he tried to sneak his leg in between Varitek's legs to touch the plate.
Fuckin' asshole Danny. Get out of Fenway!
Not sure how much we even care anymore but the Rays lost.
How was that slide bad? That was just a great play, not to many catchers make that play....
I guess I would just expect him to be able to elude Tek's leg and tag up after "overruning" the bag. He was just thrown aside and lay there for Tek to tag him. I could definitely be wrong...
Fucking Cano walk-off dong in the Toilet

Indecent exposure - when a player or team I don't like "shows his dong" :)
That is one ug-lee motherfucker.
Fucking White Sox.
I wonder how the Rays' players will take a trade of Kazmir. Management trading a starter when you're 3.5 games out will be seen as punting, and probably wouldn't be appreciated.
Maybe they will dye their hair yet another colour in protest.

We still have 6 left with them and they have been pretty good against us...so I care........

That injury he had must be a lot worse than talked about , how does he clear all the way to the Angels...odd.
Rangers lose 3-2. They left two on in the top of the ninth.
Also would like to point out that had that been Lugo/Green/Lowrie on the super quick relay by Seabass, I think we would've been the losers right about now.
Game's coming back on at 11.
"Also would like to point out that had that been Lugo/Green/Lowrie on the super quick relay by Seabass, I think we would've been the losers right about now."
Lugo wouldn't have caught the ball, Lowrie would have injured himself, and Green would have thrown it over the backstop.
GLOBE:
Game to resume at 11.
The tarp is up and the grounds crew is whipping the field into shape.
GDGD has video of the 7-6-2 out.
Jeemer gets us out of the inning.
Runs. Score them.
Jeemer in and a fly to short RF.

Ah, the good ol' late night crowd being more audible for some reason. Less people?
Fuck these "fans"
Lots of empty seats now. That's sad.
leadoff walks always score!
I'd like some more Thunder right now

Now for some insurance runs
Fak. This means Green is in for the 9th.
This should be exciting, and I mean that in a very bad way.
green at short, though, not as the closer
Green could use some insurance here.
Good stuff.
laser show = blowout
I want to hear Pedroia shout a hearty FUCK YEAH, all the way here in Kingston.
lBBj on base four times tonight
no runs please.
fuck no.
Alright, we'll go for the one run win
wagner time?
:>)
bot
Love getting to work and seeing the Sox take the lead, too bad Beckett sucked in this game (3 run hr's will do that).
Bot needs to be bot tonight
(p.s. kid is all packed at 8:00 tomorrow we are off to NY)
damn KGB commercial...
"you'd pop out"
"why?"
"your fly is down!"
my mind is really in the gutter. all this talk about dongs.
if this stands, both the winning and losing pitcher will have each faced only one batter.
b-b-but wins and losses are SOOOO meaningful!!!!!
Sit
red dot deal official
Just don't let the ball into play. Green will fuck it up, I don't care where it ends up.
Angels got Teixeira last year for the post season.
Kazmir this year.
I expect similar results.
Alright, DP time
Or any other sequence that gets two outs without allowing a run
gdgd has a live lookin -- and it's nesn!
woo hoo! nail it down for it ends pls
I feel like that was very catchable.
WTF you fucking fuck.
WTF!!!! He was out!!!
shit, lyndon
So, it's going to be one of THOSE saves, is it?
Patrick, so Kazmir will debate between Boston and New York, only to have his wife say she likes NY, and Kazmir gets an uber megadeal?
fuck that fat fuck.
Suck in your fucking gut and you won't get hit.
Well at least the DP is in play now.
how about green to p and bot to ss?
Come the fuck on, Bot
Get the outs
Kazmir isn't a free agent after this year.
damn, nesn ends.
back to radio.
end it, bot, you asshole.
C'mon!
castig: "barajas, who has 14 home runs tonight, including a two-run blast in the fifth ...."
How come Matsuzaka is pitching in a Pappelbon suit these days?
Heh, that never works.
WOOOOOOOOOO BARAJASASAHE!
Sit
One more
snider may get that shower after all.
A+L, Steph says Hi.
I'm currently in the process of having my mouth burn out. In classic Tim fashion, top 9, I'm eating.
She ordered some chinese food, one dish she asked for extra spicy. I'm good with spice but goddamn. This shit is intense.
Coupled with this game, my heart feels like its going to blow up.
Golden showers tend to dirty the water.
I think Snider got a new shirt. IIRC, last time I saw him he looked like Pigpen.
i am a huge wimp re spicy.
hi, steph!
WATER
The water is Muddy!!!
... and Snider gets the (non-muddy) golden shower!
Dirty fragging water!!!
SIT
WATER
STINKY SMELLY GOLDEN DIRTY WATER!!
Dirty rainy water.
FUCKIN HORSE SHIT FUCKING COCKSUCK SATELLITE DOUCHEFUCK ASSWIPE
I GUESS THEY WON SO DIRTY DANNY RAIN WATER!
FUCK YOU RAIN
the water is dirty. not as dirty as the water in my toilet will be tomorrow after that spice. hoooooooo
/tmi
Nice win!
The Sox' WC lead keeps getting bigger and bigger! I had no idea the game had resumed, but instead went and watched some nazis being scalped. Good times.
Note to self: do not eat Chinese or Indian food with Tim and Steph.
barajas, who has 14 home runs tonight
Wow, what a night! Imagine hitting 14 HRs in one night, but your team loses 6-5. Life is so unfair!
And the water is SO DIRTY!!
Love that expanded WC lead, but still not giving up on the AL East.
