G50: Royals 12, Red Sox 5 

Royals  - 002 700 120 - 12 20  0
Red Sox - 302 000 000 -  5 10  1
Here is everything you need to know about tonight's game:
Bill Hall pitched the only 1-2-3 inning for the Red Sox.
Wakefield was dismal: 3.2-12-9-3-1, 88. Fifteen baserunners and only 11 outs.

The Royals tied a club record against the Red Sox with 20 hits. The first time was on August 2, 1987, in a 13-5 Royals win. (The Royal team record is 26 hits, against the Tigers on September 9, 2004. It was the first game of a doubleheader in Detroit, and Kansas City won 26-5. The Tigers won the nightcap 8-0.)

One bright spot: Victor Martinez doubled and homered in his first two trips to the plate, driving in four runs.

AL East: The White Sox beat the Rays 5-2, the Yankees beat Cleveland 8-2, and the Blue Jays shut out the Orioles 5-0. And so we are back in fourth, 6.5 GB, with New York 3.5 and Toronto 5.5.
Example
Kyle Davies / Tim Wakefield
Scutaro, SS
Pedroia, 2B
Ortiz, DH
Youkilis, 1B
Martinez, C
Drew, RF
Beltre, 3B
Hermida, LF
Cameron, CF
Jacoby Ellsbury is back on the DL. See below.

And:
Spiders/Yankees, 7 PM
White Sox/Rays, 7 PM
Orioles/Blue Jays, 7 PM

The Mets finished a three-game "perfect" sweep of the Phillies: 8-0, 5-0, 3-0! Philadelphia has scored only three runs in its last five games. Runs scored in last nine games: 1, 1, 5, 5, 0, 3, 0, 0, 0.

    Joe Gerardi stalls to replace a pitcher.

    So replacing an injured pitcher requires a formal protest, but just stalling cause you didn't warm up your reliever yet is A-OK. gotch. IOKIFYAMFY.

    If you told me before the season that on May 28th, Pedroia and Ortiz would have the same average, I would be very confused.

    Didn't Girardi do some obvious stalling in one of the games in the opening series? It was Youk I think on 1B, and he was standing a step away from the bag, and they kept throwing over to first waiting for the reliever to be ready. That pissed me off with West's comments on that series, because he was letting them stall.

    I was at last night's game, and my question is, why was I the only one booing when West was announced?

    Millar is in John W. Henry's seats. Is he going to be giving Tito advice all night? He does know he's not on the team anymore, right?

  12. allanMay 28, 2010 at 4:26 PM

    I saw West on NESN before I read your comment and I was thinking he must be sorry he ever opened his fat yap because he's likely hearing it wherever he goes from fans of both sides. ... Maybe not.

    LOL, I saw Cabin Mirror sitting there during the Papi at-bat. I type slowly and right after I hit "publish", they show him on NESN and Remy says, "Maybe that's why Tito's not in his usual seat - he doesn't want to listen to Millar's advice all night."

    Having voiced my eternal optimism, I must say - If we don't lose this one, we sure have missed a damn good chance to lose one.
