Blue Jays - 411 010 100 - 8 11 0The Jays struck for four runs in the first for the second night in a row.
Red Sox - 110 000 050 - 7 14 1
Boston rallied furiously with two outs in the eighth, highlighted by J.D. Drew's three-run home run to right-center (that changed the score from 8-4 to 8-7) and had runners on first and second with two outs in the ninth, but Kevin Youkilis was caught looking at strike three.
Toronto smacked six home runs, including three by Adam Lind. Buchholz (5-8-7-1-4, 79) gave up the first one (to Jose Bautista) on his first pitch of the night, and allowed five of the six.
The first three Jays against Clay: HR, 1B, HR. It was the first time a Sox pitcher had allowed two home runs in an inning before recording an out since John Burkett allowed bombs to Jason Giambi and Bernie Williams in the first inning on July 21, 2002. The last player to belt three taters in a game against Boston was Frank Thomas (all off Tim Wakefield, on September 15, 1996).
A win tonight clinches the wild card.
And the Red Sox have seriously abused the rookie Romero in four starts this year: 26 hits and 17 walks in 17.1 innings. He's got an 8.83 ERA and a 2.481 WHIP. Boston has hit .377/.506/.652/1.158 against him.
& @ 10 PM: Rangers/Angels.

Oddball: Why don't you knock it off with them negative waves? Why don't you dig how beautiful it is out here? Why don't you say something righteous and hopeful for a change?
Moriarty: Crap!
OF dong would = 8-7.
LOL, S1C!
OMGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG
ON FIRE!!!
Fucking on FIRE!!!
ON FIRE!!!!!
IT IS A YOM KIPPUR MIRACLE!!!
OMG, S1C, you changed the karma!
Allan called it!!!!
Holy shit everyone... There's a fire in the building!
WOOP WOOP WOOP WOOP WOOP Fire alarms!
Oddball: Crazy! I mean like so many positive waves maybe we can't lose! You're on!
Maddy is on the roof deck near the Budweiser sign. Me thinks she has had a few Buds herself.
RALLY JUICE, BABY!!!!
What sucks about me going to the playoffs is that I will not have my new android phone that comes out the following weekend. That would make texting to the intertube more easier. But yes I will be sending in updates.

2B RBI
BB

[JohnGoldfine, are you here, or only on wmtc?]
I smell walk off
Well, I am happily eating my words. Let's see if we can get a walkoff in the 9th.
BOT in
S1C, I had no idea what that quote was from, but it was perfect. I googled it, and I don't know the movie.
yoooooooook scoooooooooop
now i don't want #4.
Wow. After putting emma to bed I was listening to the radio while washing dishes. I turned it off to go turn on the TV and just missed the Fiery Dong.
2 outs. good good.
I no longer want to see Lind hit another dong.
That works!
At least he did not get a HR this time.
S1C, I had no idea what that quote was from, but it was perfect. I googled it, and I don't know the movie.
You don't know Kelly's Heroes?
Donald Sutherland, Don Rickles, Clint Eastwood, Telly Savalas, O'connor. A cast of thousands!
Listening to them go on and on and on about breakfast cerials, I thought of you guys.
Lint (sic) moved into that one--not on purpose, but ooh.
Because you know how much I love cereal?
OK, score runs!!
Nope, never heard of it, but perhaps I should rent it.
I love cereal.
(We have not had a food thread in so long.)
ug. cereals. that's how it's spelled. Do you? Weetabix?
let's go seabass.
1-800-54-SEABASS
No, I love raisin bran.
Why is Reddick at bat?
The Chronicles of Reddick shall include mighty bounty.
I love cereal. I have to really try not to eat it. I especially love it at night, before bed. Not a great time to eat, so in recent years I broke the habit. But left to my own desires, I would eat a bowl of cereal w/ fruit every night.
C'mon kid, wrap one down the line
Breakfast is my favorite meal. I could eat it for dinner.
mmmm, raisin bran...
(And Rice Krispies, Special K, and many others...)
Shit. Why didn't Gonzalez bat???
bah - we like to do it with 2 outs
I am not a fan of hot cereal, however.
OK, fuck you Reddick we'll do it without you. No problem. Come on Lyndon.
Rather unsuccessfully, I've decided to reduce my dairy intake. Going with almond or soy milk when I eat cereal.
dammit. I need to bray Youk's name into the night!
I love oatmeal. And it's so good for you. I eat it often for breakfast, with banana.
Funny time for a food discussion!
Tying run on!
TMB!!!
YES
Yeah, seeking comfort with comfort food.
whoa. I am having some spelling difficulties. There is no variation of LBJ that is spelled "Youk".
Thank you, Lyndon!

Cinnamon raisin myself
SB would be a tad risky.....
Allan eats gluten-free cereal w/ Silk. Seems to enjoy it a lot.
Time for a a 98 in 104 out from FY
Heart is pounding.
FY dong = 9-8.
Cinnamon raisin myself
Yum. But mine is the whole grain kind that doesn't come flavoured. "Steel cut oats". Takes like 30 mins to make.
it worked for drew
Shit, DO had me truped.
OK, 2 outs, our favourite time to rally. Here we go.
Down to VMart.
Shit, he hits it to the biggest part of the park.
Oh, well, time for a blue light special!!!
clean up on aisle 9.
blue light walk-off, here we go...
time to become a true sock
though there is no rain
Yum. But mine is the whole grain kind that doesn't come flavoured. "Steel cut oats". Takes like 30 mins to make.
See there is thing spice called cinnamon and these dried up grape things called raisin. You add those in while making it.
Scoring position!
Alright! 67
5-11
s1c, ha ha ha, I didn't even think of that! DUH
I don't keep either in the house. But we always have bananas so I throw those in.
you don't keep cinnamon in the house?
5-11 ?
have not had a nervous knot in my stomach for awhile, better get used to it.
No. Never use it.
Nick, you may still get to yell Youk!
I will bray for Youk.
winning run on and yoooook up!!!
yook dong = 10-8 and a celebration!
Time to be the hero Youk.
they said the Sox were 4-10 w/ RISP tonight.
That looked low to me.
gotcha 5/11
A YK miracle by Youk would be appropriate.
yes. /. /.
Phew.
just jew it
Full count, two out. Classic.
Runners going with the pitch a double will win it!!!
LOL, Allan.
This knot in my stomach is classic too!
OH FUCK
fuckin a
too close to be taking youk
fuck.
So close, and yet...so far.
Yup! Ofer and my first trips to Fenway were VERY similar!
Youk clearly did not do enough atoning yesterday.
almost dirty but still sparkling clean water.
*sigh*
FUCK!
musta been seriously fooled. he did not say a word to the ump.
seemed low, btw.
Well, at least they made it exciting. Better than being a rout.
Nice threading with you all tonight, it's been a long time for me. Tuning up for the post-season!
Good night!
btw, HI all!
btw, HI all!
Tim wins post of the night.
What L said goes for me too!
word that. nice to "see" you all. g'night.
Yes, a fun thread tonight. We all need to get ready for the post-season, just like the players!
See ya next time.
Re the ALDS:
Gotta buy the fifth of JD next Monday.
TEX: 00
LAA: 11
matty: looking at my contest sheet, the sox now need to go 5-0 for you to win. seems unlikely.
Was in class today for most of this, following on GDGD. Got home to set up my fancy new TV and saw the 8-7 score and followed right until Yook's backwards-K when I posted here =)
Tomorrow I'll definitely be threadin' - in HD!
TEX: 000 1
LAA: 110 2
Three outs from the playoffs.
One out away now--MLB Network showing the game.
In
Clinched.
We're in.
Now, let's play at least a few decent games to get going into the PS.
Although it does sound as thouigh this a pretty good game tonight.
We're in! Yay.
