Yankees - 020 300 200 - 7 12 1
Red Sox - 010 013 31x - 9 10 0
After retiring the first five batters on 13 pitches, Beckett gave up solo dongs to Dumbo and Granderson -- and then singles to Swisher and Gardner. CI tangibly grounded out to end the second.Youkilis doubled to start the second and Beltre brought him in with a one-out sac fly to deep center.
The bottom of the order got to Beckett in the fourth. Cano doubled and two outs later, Swisher walked. Then Gardner and Jeter singled -- and pulled somewhat of a surprise double steal. Beckett couldn't get the third out in the fifth and was pulled with two men on: 4.2-8-5-3-1, 94/54.
Two-out singles -- all crisp line drives -- by Drew, Cameron, and Scutaro brought in a fifth-inning run. An error moved the runners up, but Ellsbury struck out looking with runners at second and third. CC lost his command in the sixth. FY walked, Victor doubled into the left field corner, and Yook smoked a triple over Swisher's head into the right field corner. With one out, Beltre's single to Cano's right tied the game at 5-5. But New York came right back in the seventh. Ramirez put two guys on and Okajima let them come around to score.
The Sox took the lead after the stretch. Scutaro singled off Park and Pedroia homered to left. When Yook doubled, Marte came in and wild pitched him to third. Then Dumbo's passedballa (!!) gave Boston its first lead of the night.
In the eighth, Bard allowed a two-out walk, but retired Teixeira on an FC. In the home half against Joba, Cameron singled with one out and Scutaro walked. With two outs, Pedroia singled to right to make it 9-7.
In the ninth, Papelbon retired Slappy and Cano, then allowed a two-out single to Dumbo. He got Granderson to ground to third for the final out.
Beckett, RamRam and maybe Jeemer were shaky, and there were no real fielding gems. Damn shame we can't hit/score.

love the drake!
poop.
jesus.
DAMMIT!
Lard-Ass abuses Ellsbury, again
how did scutaro do that without leaping way in the air and making a big show about throwing to first?
I am so tired of this obsession over lackey being 3rd in the rotation.
ramram.
or is it ram-s-ram now, with ram-a-ram in paw?
but: if beckett was 3rd, they'd fuss over that. if lester was 3rd, they'd fuss over that.
who the fuck cares? he pitches every 5 games -- and that is that.
it seems like a problem every team would like to have.
Funny that both SoSock and JGF thought SCOOTaro was ScuTARo.
Mike Cameron looks smooth in CF. I forgot what it was like to have a guy back there who can read the ball.
xactly, RS.
I've conducted a casual experiment for a while. People ask me "How are you?" I say "Mostly alright" with an affirmative nod. A good truthful answer that y'know it's going pretty well..mostly good with some not-so that everyone has... Most common response: "Oh, what's wrong?"
dear sox:
chb/borges/callahan are right now writing their "theo is dumb; no runs = no wins" columns. pls make all their work (at least as much as these hacks "work") a waste of time. cheers, thanks a lot.
Rally time
Interesting, Nick, but not surprising. If someone answered, "Oh, good," wouldn't that seem sort of cold? I mean, saying MOSTLY all right seems to be asking for people to ask what is not right.
the globe has a slew of stories on various new stats to measure defense today. looks quite good. tag line for chb's contribution: don't trust stats, believe your eyes. (i'm not kidding)
I miss Tek a little less right now.
I guess I should change my avatar, huh?
that's how we do.
i'm not much of a grouch these days(or years), but ...
I want a sweaty dong so hard!
FINISH HIM
c'mon Yoooooouuuuuk!
anyone up for a -- err, ahem -- sweaty, hairy dong?
YOOOOOOK
I am so up for a sweaty, hairy dong right now.
FUCK YEAH!!!!
triple!!!!!!!!!!!!!
fuck yeah!!!!!
TRIPLE!!!
but I will take a sweaty, hairy triple!
Woohoo, I finally get wifi in the sky, and triple for Youk!
Again I say - YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOK!!!!!!!!
Hello from 37,000 feet, everybody!
God damn, this ish is exciting
blogger definitely neurotic tonight with the double posts. I can't believe we're all this bad at the posts...
damn!
Hey, WCSox! How are the kids doing up in the air? And how the hell do they get wireless on the plane? I was so glad to have it on our last flight, but also amazed.
hooray for technology, westcoastsox.
Threads On A Plane!!!!
....
no more lil' tek?
it's the end of an era
Before Ortiz made that out, FGs gave us a 55% chance of winning even though we were back a run.
crazy.
YES!!!
I LOVE THIS GUY!!!
TIED!! Holy shit!
Hot Damn - New Game!
But...but...the Sox can't score runs! Everyone knows that!
I'm going with the fact that I drank some wine. Don't know if I've ever done that during a game (true). guess I've gotta drink every game this season.
Good things we prevent a lot of runs, because we sure as heck can't score any.
LOL, threads on a plane indeed. And thank god we got the seating all worked out (my kids were originally sitting next to a stranger who insisted on sitting next to them and not switching for an identical seat, but when my six year old burst into tears, sanity prevailed). Amy, I think I see someone on the wing with a giant wi-fi receiver. Yeah, that must be it.
guzzlin' wine - those are the sacrifices we have to make, as fans.
It is the end of an era. Sort of sad, so I had to mark it in some way. Time to move on...
I've also committed myself to a second glass.
Hey, you're a techy kind of guy. I figured you might know how they do that! :)
Oh no, bullpen battles for 4 innings. This is gonna be nerve racking.
shit, ramram. not good.
Greetings everyone from New Mexico, very excited about the 2010 season. So awesome that we tied it up and knocked out CC. It's ON.
If MDC and RamRam suck, this is gonna be a long year.
Blogger definitely behaving strangely. Guess it needed more time in spring training.
I have my annual bet with a Yankee fan. $10 per series. Double if it's a sweep. Would be nice to win the first one.
RRv2.0 still needs to be fixed.
I moved outside and pointed a speaker out here from my room and turned the radio on. This is a nice setup. Nice to hear Jon Rish wet himself in the booth with Youk's triple, too.
cute pic, amy!
Thanks, Allan. Those my babies, all cuddled up together.
Well, we are behind again, but I already feel better.
A classic Sox/Yankees game, for sure.
NOW I am pissed off. Again.
chan ho park up for the mfy.
that is good since we need runs
thanks, jeemer. jeez.
i really should do some work, but it involves transcribing, which would mean no audio of the game (and no video). may stay until 1 tonight.
...
call it, west - you triple-chinned fuck.
and that'll just be to the end of the gam, RS.
Runs, please.
Since when do we do GBA at Fenway?
ouch.
Cher's really let herself go.
At least it's not that anti-Semitic tenor from the NYY...though I heard he was in Boston now.
we need that irish jew-hater to do a 40-minute gba to throw the mfy off their game.
scoot
lbj
fy
victor
and so on
HA!
good timing
Great minds and all that.
I sure hope the Sox haven't switched Sweet Caroline for GBA.
Sweet Caroline isn't until the 8th.
gba for opening night, i guess. maybe sweet carolina in the 8th?
mdc/bard up
park being park
Somehow I thought we were in the 8th. I must be tired. I mean, I AM tired. Got to get back into baseball form. I needed more spring training also.
rally!
Daniel Bard is wearing Julian Tavarez's old #51 now. I find this highly amusing.
no fat man, so lbj can hit something now
Come on, LBJ. Do something productive.
LBJ, good thing Laura isn't here because I am thinking bad things about you both at the bat and in the field tonight.
L: "You can tell the thread that the very first seconds of baseball I saw this year was LBJ. I walked in the house, turned on the TV, and he was walking to the plate."
And she gets to watch him K.
Uh oh, spoke to soon. Sorry, L.
!!!
FUCK YEAH!!!
FUCKKKKK YEAAAHHH!!!!!1
LASER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
FUCK YEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!
Too soon.
FUCK YEAH!!! I LOVE YOU!!
fuck yeah!!!!!
Thinking the same thing, Amy but not nearly so eloquent...
FUCK YEAH, FY!!!!
Another double post, but I will leave that one.
FY!!!!!
thank you, chp.
back to back would be nice
it's a shame we have no thump or thunder.
Harv muttering and taking the dog out.
Petey!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I wanna have his babies.
I meant to ask you a few innings ago, Amy, 'bout Harvey and how was is gloating going. I guess his gloat is taking the dog out.
Yeah, too bad our offense sucks this year, huh?
Neil live in the 8th?
Harv doesn't dare gloat. It would be dangerous.
He did say something about how bad a manager Girardi is and was not otherwise persuaded even when I reminded him that this team won the WS last year.
Harvey is correct. Shit, Gump got to ALCS7 in 2003. He was dogshit all year, but the team held on almost to the end despite him.
Hahaha Rish got Truped there.
SWEAT POWRED!!!!!!!!!!!!
OK, I love Youk also. He deserves the clean up spot...so far!
I don't dare tell Harvey he is right. He will think I am gloating.
Doesn't this offense suck?
I know, it's the first game, and we haven't even won it or anything, but I'm glad to see this ball-smashing going on. Now if I could just see some of it tomorrow night when my 13-14s open their season........
great inning because a lot of mfy fans hate fy and yook like nobody's business.
I am already tired of the Lackey - Orsillo commercial. Laughed the first time though.
I want to see Ortiz get on base, that's all.
Wow, SoSock, LL starts already down there? I don't think we start here for a few more weeks. But I could be wrong.
9.45 ERA last year?
PASSEDBALLA!!!!!!!!!!!!
I like that new avatar, amy, not that you can't go back if circumstances warrant--but didn't your change coincide with the RS tieing? Changing avatars could be a rally-maker!
PASSEDBALLA!
Yes, JGF, the change did come at the same time as the tie. I hope Tek didn't mind the switch.
A MFYfan facebook friend has confirmed his dislike of the sweaty one.
I want some big Big Papi love. even a single to right is good.
amy: if you need a kid pic of any other sox, i might have them. a blog posted 8-9 of them a few years back.
!
YESSSSS!!!!!! YOUUUUUUK!
WOW! Passedballa really does it!!
PASSEDBALLA!!!!!!!!!!!!
ahahahahaahhqa
god he sucks
fuckin' yeah!!!!!!!!!!! I'll still take the single.
PASSEDBALLAPASSEDBALLA!
Holy Passed Ball, Batman!
chest high pitch -- CLANK!!!!
bring on joba.
This is the best f'ing flight I have ever taken. And now I get to watch the RS beat up on JTC
Thanks, Allan. I will have to wait and see which player captures my heart. Tek has had it for so long that it may take a while.
And the walk to Papi!
Again with the Lackey commercial??
make joba wanna dwi tonight -- and then bring the bard/bot hammer down.
I hope Joba is feeling all put out, being switched back to the pen.
so, joba:
allow 3 more runs
get the final out
fist pump
I can't tell you how awesome it would be to see Joba get shellacked here.
So who's pitching the 8th tonight? Bard?
dwi??
Just stopped in to say one word.
PASSEDBALLA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i was hoping this game would be over by about 11. heh.
Driving while intoxicated?
What's this bellTRAY pronounciation? I thought it was BELLtray.
Amy, I love your avatar.
I'm not really here. See you all Tuesday night WHEN I WILL BE DONE WITH SCHOOL UNTIL SEPTEMBER.
Thanks, Laura! I look forward to you being here. School ends in April up there? Nice!
I'm not dead! Steph comandeered the macbook shortly after the game started - our lack of power adapters (thanks winston and shitty macbook magnet) means we only have one, unreliable computer right now.
What a game, goddamn!
Also wanted to point out that force out back in the 6th when beltre was running to 2nd would've def. been a double play had slowell been in there. Stuff like that will make a difference this year!
i hope meunier is still watching.
BARD!!!
Have I mentioned lately.......He's a Tarheel!!!!
And don't say yes, because I know I haven't since last fall.
Pffffftt
I wonder if Neil Diamond is still awake at this hour.
hate the drake.
Got Gardner out. That's good.
Pedroia with the superfluous "defense"
Steph looked at the TV, Jeter was on.
"look at him - fuckin womanizer!"
Do not walk Jeter.
Thank you.
CI: herpes machine.
Rooting for Tuesday!
I sure hope we get to see the old Papelbon tonight. A one run lead is not comforting with 2009 Papelbon.
Nick Johnson is better at not swinging than even J.D. Drew. He masterfully leaves that bat on his shoulder.
What Amy said.
The Walking Johnsons.
i thought johnson would be the next HUGE player. when he was only 20, he had an OBP of .520-something in AA. INSANE! ... then he got hurt every 4 hours.
yo, bard. *pitch*
Bard looks blonder than I remember.
OK, score several insurance runs.
More of that *shudder* defense.
There's your Sweet Caroline, Amy.
Cool! Neil Diamond singing Sweet Caroline live!
Is he singing??
epic.
Yes, wearing a "Keep the Dodgers in Brooklyn" jacket.
fire the sound guy.
The crowd sends better than Neil...
I third what Amy said
nonetheless...sweet...the folks there must be loving it.
i am not unmuting espn.
ack it's bledding thru wrko
LOL, the crowd does sound better than Neil.
Yes I am still watching, I kept GDGD on.
steph: "this songs never gonna be the same to me again, after watching this old man cumming to his own song"
we gotta get her on here.
he looks a tad like mccarver.
wow - his jacket DOES say that on the back!!!
"he looks like he popped a bunch of viagra"
WCSox, you could HEAR that on the plane? Wow, what a magical world this is!
Keep the Dodgers in Brooklyn!
Amy, I'm watching satellite TV on Virgin America, while threading on Gogo Internet, WiFi in the Sky
We need to get both of you on here, Tim.
Show us the Fire, On Fire!
Neil Diamond needs a body bag (to quote Bel Biv Devoe)
annnd here goes the computer.
good night all!
I won't fly any other airline to or from Boston/NY/DC/Fort Lauderdale
Very cool, TV and internet on a plane. You do seem to fly a lot, so I can understand why you'd want a plane that offers those perks!
I hope you are on Jet Blue so you are able to watch it!
Didn't know Virgin America has Sat TV also.
cano doesn't go to his right very well, does he?
:>)
Meunier, it's Virgin America. Jet Blue is good for going up and down the east coast, but they don't fly to SF. They fly to Oakland, but that's like a different country to me.
Here's an interesting story.
JtC with a pleasant little, "FUCK."
I'm glad Haagen-Dazs still makes Rum Raisin.
Satellite TV, and uncut movies - that means they don't show the "edited for the airplane" version.
