Rays - 400 001 100 - 6 5 0With two outs in the seventh, Scutaro singled, Pedroia homered, Martinez singled, and Youkilis homered -- and it looked like the diehards who stuck around cold, damp Fenway might be rewarded.
Red Sox - 000 010 400 - 5 11 2
But no. In the eighth, Lowell led off with a single and Mike Cameron walked, but Jeremy Hermida struck out and Scutaro popped to right. And Pedroia, Martinez, and Youkilis went in order on only nine pitches in the ninth.
An error by Cameron on an easy fly ball should have ended the top of the first. Instead, it left the door open for Tampa to torment Buchholz for 44 pitches and four unearned runs.
Small Game James at Fenway: 0-6 in six starts, 8.04 ERA and a 1.893 WHIP, having allowed 43 hits and 10 walks in 28 innings.
Dustin Pedroia (.455/.500/.636), J.D. Drew (.417/.481/.833), and David Ortiz (.391/.481/.870) have fun facing Shields.
Current members of the Rays are hitting only .222/.300/.286 against Buchholz (in 70 plate appearances).

On to the next game.
Hey everyone! How was everyone's day? Better than the last 10 minutes I hope.
My day has been pretty much shitty since 12.
When will it start?
Mine improved 30 mins ago when my new co-worker went home.
They said 30 minutes after the end of game one. Maybe more because of the wet field, though.
We got boned out of that last game, we should have been allowed to play the bottom of the 9th last night.
lol, having fun with this new co-worker eh L?
and your day is about to get better allan, after we light up shields here.
my day is getting better already. except i'm kind of pissed the $9 bottle of wine tastes putrid. i bought an $8 bottle that was amazing, so i expected a marked improvement. although, expecting anything good for that price is grasping at straws i guess.
$8 wine? I need to start drinking cheaper, maybe I should know about this. Any good $6 wines, perhaps?
but i have recordings to transcribe, so i can't have the game in my ear.
Co-worker is ok, but she is a talker. I don't come to work to talk and be talked to. I like to be in my own world.
In canada, you're strapped to find anything with alcohol outside of shoppers drug mart for less than $8.
$8 wine was KWV - some white from south africa or something. Not amazing, but definitely palatable. We also like gazela - $8 or $9 white portguese wine with a bit of carbonation in it. That one's only like 8% or 9% though. But its damn tasty.
I need to start drinking cheaper
And by cheaper, you mean less.

Did I read that right?
Actually, that wasn't what I meant.

You talk to us for nine innings......:)
Yes, I know that. It's called "A Joke".
I get some Two Buck Chuck whenever I get to a Trader Joe's that is allowed to sell alcohol. Doesn't happen much.
Same day. Ugly game to go with the ugly weather in beantown. Froze watching a youth soccer game today while my son's team lost 3-2.
Please Sox do something nice tonight.
You know, it's perfectly ok to pay $10 or $12 for a bottle of wine that you enjoy.
Wait, what?? I didn't even notice that when I wrote that.
in that case, i definitely need to start drinking cheaper.
i agree, theys hould have called it either after 8 or after 9, none of this in the middle shit.
and i'm pissed the mfy game got called a win after only 6 innings.
Any oatmeal for the second game? I'd rather not see flo in the lineup.
You talk to us for nine innings......:)
You don't like the sound of my voice, is that it..... :)

Scutaro SS

Martinez C
Youkilis 1B

No Bot or Bard tonight.

Flo's there no Beltre , Lowell at 3rd
Bot is w/ Mrs Bot and the new Bot Jr
Does that mean Bot is doing a jig to the drop kick murphys up and down the hospital corridor?
we are 3 GB the chokers, who won 7-3.
Oh yeah, I have no problem paying for good wine. Most of the stuff we like is in the $15-20 range. Not a huge fan of the VQA reds, I think the Aussie/Euro ones are a lot bolder.
We've fallen in love with Prospect Winery in BC though - love their reds!
Not a good April so far.
Kotsays pitching?
I wonder if they're wearing the same pants.
crawford on - here we go again.
My every day wine costs about $11 bottle. It doesn't seem like "good" wine to me - that is something I can't afford on a daily basis - but I really enjoy it. Pelee Island Pinot Noir. I really like their reds.
Mets Cards in the 15th -- scoreless. Pujols has been intentionally walked three times in the extra innings to load the bases twice bringing up a relief pitcher to bat for the cards. So far the strategy has worked.
Wild.
A starting pitcher now batting for the Mets.
Mets Cards in the 15th -- scoreless
my favourite kind of game!
Not even a pretend effort against Crawford
lol - "everyday wine" - i drink beer usually, so when its wine i tend to spend a little more. but pelee island pinot you say....hmm, i'll have to check it out tomorrow.
Damn these mfrays look like trouble this year.
I never drink beer at home, only in pubs, where beer is good and wine is usually not.
you're pissing me off, clay.
Tim, sometime this summer, steak and pinot noir at our place. Maybe in June for both our birthdays.
WTF????
yay - defense!
wtf. the curse of 23.
I hope Mike Cameron's nickname doesn't turn out to be Butcher Boy.
yes! i'll be living in toronto in june (school of accountancy) so its definitely do-able. we can probably get together to watch a game on a weekend or something something.
also - dinner here (well not here here - at our new place we're moving to next saturday - same building, just 2 floors up) during ASB!
get together to watch a game on a weekend
No one gets it, do they, L?
This sox team so far has pretty "special" defense. : P
wtf clay. i felt this way about you last year, then you tore it up in sep/oct, now you are pulling the same shit as you did last year.
should've shipped him to t.o. for doc.
extra innings of a west coast game on the weekend?
2 arms down in the pen -- not a good night for this, laptop. get your shit together.
fuck you clay.
clay
clay clay clay
No one gets it, do they, L?
We were just talking about this this morning.
Tim: weekdays only, and no Fridays.
damn cameron too, having out #3 clank off his glove.
I gotta go, leaving work soon and not threading when I get home.
I would like to note for any bridge-jumpers out there that the Red Sox WILL win games again. I am sure of it.
OT: The NESN feed tonight reminded me of another experience with terrible announcers in sports this afternoon. CBC's decided to provide their own coverage of the Bruins playoff series.
They've dulled down the sound of the arena/crowd so much so that all you hear basically is an overly loud announcer who can't pronounce players right, like Zdeno "Chair-a" on the Bruins. (comparable in annoyance to David OR-tiz). And his enthusiam is so dull that if you aren't watching, you don't know when a goal is scored because you don't hear the crowd at all.
I want my NESN. The Bruins announcers on there are ridiculously biased, and hilarious to listen to.
/rant.
so - whose gonna pitch an inning tonight? hall? scutaro? i think fy wants to at some point.
On the bright side this all has no effect on laptops era!
:-/
hey,he just wanted to get a good look at their entire lineup right away -- now he knows what he's dealing with. we're cool.
44 pitches!
It's the 1st inning they could come back, remember the playoff game 2 years ago?
Laptop may have been fucked by the other game being suspended also, not knowing when he would pitch.
At least the more important Boston team already won today.
At least the more important Boston team already won today.
Are you in the right place?
Cut me and I will bleed black and gold. I cry why the Bruins are eliminated from the playoffs.
It's the 1st inning they could come back
Of course! We should be expecting it.
L, could you become a Naturalized Canadien citizen?
Jimenez just pitched the Rockies first no hitter!
And the mets cards go to 17 scoreless.
17!! wow!!
we submitted our applications for citizenship soon after we passed the three year mark.
On to the 18th in St.L!
Bay is 0-for-7 with 4 K so far.
I'm feeling a bit slaphappy today
wiping
Ummmm ....
Get one please..
I'm leaving before I say anymore stupid/gross things, later.
Jiminez pulled off the no hitter.
Last night's Mets/Cardinals game, St. Louis' 2B Felipe Lopez hit a grand slam off of Raul Valdes...
Tonight in the 18th inning, Lopez was the PITCHER and Valdes was the hitter!!! He hit a ground ball to deep short, Brendan Ryan threw wide of first, Valdes ran to second base and was gunned down by Pujols, the throw taken by the third baseman.
That's got to be a first -- or maybe a third.
6 BB in the no-no.
Cardinals pitcher Kyle Loshe played LF in the top of the 18th.
The Lopez-to-Valdes at-bat took 10 pitches, as well.
Good evening. Fourth inning at 10:21 in Boston. May as well be a West Coast game.
We have good friends at this game. They must be pretty miserable between the weather and the score(s).
You think that people with tickets to tonight's game got in for the suspended game?
yes, they did. friday tix were no good. so they got a bonus tonight -- a crappy bonus.
19th now!
As you are know sick of hearing about by now, we saw 21 scoreless in Montreal in 1989. LA 1-0in 22.
That's what I figured. I am sure my friends are freezing and pissed off.
My sister is at tonight's game for her birthday, too. Although I'm curious as to whether she's still at the park or not.
mets got a run in the top 19
Papi!!
I just looked for the Mets game on MLB tv, but it seems our free preview is over. Oh well.
tiz - what happened
We suck.
Ha, it's on Fox. Silly me.
Pujols up with man on....
Runner out at second.
Bad call.
Pujols on second. Mets get a break with that call at second.
I think perhaps I am talking to myself....and about the Mets game. That's sad and pathetic.
Score tied in St Louis.
HAHAHAHA they freaking tied it with 2 outs... This is hilarious.
Tied. Wow!
I couldn't believe ,after they got Ludwig staling, that they pitched to Pujols, but they are the mets....
Two on, none out.
Laser Show!!! The Laser Show never ends. Although that was more of a rainbow.
was the no-hitter mentioned?
Meanwhile, back in Boston, we got a run!
2 on for the cards! but 2 gone
Mets win, 2-1.
Well, I don't think I have what it takes to stay up for this one. I just hope we don't lose two games in a night.
Nice catch, JD!
Good night, all.
A no-hitter and a 20-inning Mets win in one day. Cool baseball day... with some huge exceptions.
L, could you become a Naturalized Canadien citizen?
Just saw this, don't know if you are still here...
We will become citizens, yes. Our application is already in, we are in the queue. It's not called naturalized, it's just citizenship.
Whoa. A moon shot from E-Long.
If there was anyone left in Fenway, they're leaving now.
FUCK YEAH!
Small game james threw 121 pitches. Yeesh.
6-3 is interesting -- and victor is on.
YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOK
This is going to be the comeback of the season - the whole season!
OMG - DONG@!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I wonder if Ish's sister is still there. I'm guessing no, but I'm hoping yes.

Beltre PR for Lowell
Cue the Eric Clapton
Meun, sorry I snapped at you before. I was fuming about the loss. I'm glad your Bruins won at least.

clapton's song "fuck the rays"?
two on for hermida.
After Midnight
hey scutaro: hit, pls.
oh man, they have to win this one. have to!
pedroia, martinez, yook is what we want in the 9th, so that's good,.
If Wheeler has to stay out there there is a good chance he serves up a meatball.
FY walk off?
rally time.
fuck no.
No dong sale at V-Mart.
Don trooped me.
*sigh*
Sparkling clean water
:(
Team meeting time, we are getting close to getting realistically eliminated from the playoffs here.
we might be out for 2011, too, if we lose tomorrow.
magic # for red sox elimination: 148 - with 151 games to go.
My sister left after the FIFTH inning.
well at least we have the bruins. this team is too far gone. may as well concede the east to the jays tonight.
