Buchholz struggled through a 30-pitch first inning and escaped a bases loaded/1 out jam. With one out in the second, he gave up a single and hit a batter. But he righted the ship, retiring the 14 of the next 16 batters and finished with a 6.2-3-0-3-4, 106 line. Daniel Bard and Jonathan Papelbon closed it out.
Boston took a quick 1-0 lead in a very odd half inning that saw two infield singles, an error, a stolen base, an intentional walk, and two wild pitches. In the third, David Ortiz drove in Marco Scutaro with a fly ball to right. ... Dustin Pedroia had two singles, a triple, a stolen base and a run scored.
The Yankees beat the Mets 4-0 thanks to a grand slam by Mark Teixeira, while the error-prone Rays lost to the Marlins 4-1. As the Red Sox take the field tonight, New York is 1 GA of Tampa Bay and 1.5 GA of Boston.Scutaro SS

1916 - Tilly Walker's home run over Fenway Park's left field wall is the only home run the Red Sox will hit at home this season.
1965 - The Braves ban sportswriter Lou Chapman from their clubhouse for "stories of a negative nature" and their "disquieting" effect on players and management. The ban is rescinded a day later.
1980 - Five-foot-four Freddie Patek hits three home runs and a double in California's 20-2 rout of the Red Sox at Fenway Park. Patek will hit only five home runs all season.

A fuming Hal Steinbrenner informed Yankee Stadium executives that Lady Gaga is permanently banned from the team's clubhouse after her boozy antics -- including swigging whiskey and repeatedly fondling her boobs -- during a visit to the house that Ruth built Friday night, sources told The Post.
The songstress and two girlfriends sauntered their way into the Bombers' clubhouse -- without team approval -- and hung out for 30 minutes after the team lost to the Mets.
She met six players -- including Alex Rodriguez and Robinson Cano -- while the "Poker Face" singer kept slurring her words trying to say how much she loved the Yankees and how thrilled she was to be inside the exclusive area, sources said.
Gaga, drinking Jameson Irish Whiskey, was wearing a Yankees jersey half-unbuttoned, exposing her black bra, fishnet stockings and a bikini bottom.
But apparently she didn't think that was enough to catch the players' eyes, so she kept groping her chest over her jersey. ...

Swigging whiskey and fondling boobs?
That's how Babe Ruth spent most of his non-baseball-playing time. He would not approve of this decision by management.
Tilly Walker - girls team
Babe Ruth - all girls, all the time, and I suspect a dude now and again, too

Yikes @ Gaga.
I feel like A-Rod is the only one who might fall for her bait.
PA has lots of tidbits that you won't get to hear DO say tonight.
The Red Sox play 22 of the next 31 games on the road. Only 9 games at Fenway over the next 39 days.
The Red Sox are pace to score 898 runs -- that would be 26 more than last season.
NYM - 000 000 000 - 0 4 0
MFY - 004 000 00x - 4 9 0
FKR - 000 100 000 - 1 6 1

So:
MFY 43 26 ---
FKR 42 27 1.0
BOS 42 28 1.5
Jonathan and I are off to Fenway. I'll try to post from the phone a little. It looks like the storm has passed.
GO SOX!!
Dice is set to pitch in Colorado on Thursday.
I feel like A-Rod is the only one who might fall for her bait.
Joba looks like he would take anyone's bait.
espn is still using that stoned fu-manchu shot of yook -- it's a year and a half old!
dp, pls, hh.
Some boos. More applause and the applause lasted longer.
I frequently see another James Loney, much more famous in Canada (this guy). The Christian Peacemaker Teams have their little office next door to the war resisters office.
I haven't introduced myself yet, I'm too much in awe of him.
Claydini pls
Or should I say HHoudini
a reminder: outs are good.
The extra "H" is for SAVINGS!
Not the way I wanted to see this game start.
"Leave off the last S for savings"
What the hell was that? A mattress ad?
K! Bye bye Mrs Garret
tootie says: "sit down"
Fucking ESPN Europe (or whatever it is we get here) is showing golf instead of the game. Maybe I should've checked the listings before staying up till 3AM...
HHoudini it is!
a mere bag of sHHells
escape. Channeling a little Beckett coming off the field.
doink!
A little home town scoring for FY
That's a single?!?!?!?!?!?!??!?!?
Heads up by FY!!!
And he makes the most of it, eh.
Hahaha, that was beautiful!
hometown scoring: 2 SB?
Good thing this isn't the FKR. Their announcers claim Fenway is notorious for hometown scoring.
NICE!!!!!!!!!!
This is hilarious.
Sox showing off their speed!!!
Nice entertaining way to score a run. Now V-Mart needs to slam one outta here.
Ha, it was foul, instead of out #3. This keeps getting funnier and funnier.
Knee-power, please.
wow - what a train wreck.
Wow, it looks like I'm missing quite the mistake-fest by the Dodgers. Anybody have a lead on where to find a link to watch the game?
Wow, I'm exhausted and that was only 1 inning...
nothing hit out of the infield in that inning, but:
2 singles
walk
stolen base
throwing error
2 wild pitches
I missed the half inning. Could I get a quick recap?
Lol, NM. Redsock with the psychic response.
ofer: check your gmail
but that was not in order!!!!
and manny's single was the only ball LA hit out of the infield in their half.

"It's too early to call Danny Nava a star."
It's also too early to call him Danny.
Apparently it will always be too early for that - he prefers Daniel
At least they are making Furoda work
wild pitch, ahh yes
I miss May Clay.
oh god - is that schilling in there too?
Joe and OB giving Manny a lot of credit for his work ethic while he was in Boston.
yes it is schill
OH GOD SHUT UP DAVE OBRIEN STOP TALKING ABOUT MANNY YOU ARE SO STUPID AND CONDESCENDING SHUT UP SHUT UP
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
whew
sorry
Patrick, but along with that credit, "he may not have run out every ground ball..."
Obie still beating that dead horse. As if all the other players run out every ground ball.
HH making it look really painful, but protecting the goose egg.
ortiz hasn't run out 10 grounders since 2007 ...
...
how the hell do jon and joe get a word in with blabbermouth blabbing his blather?
60 pit for clay
I agree, L. OB sounds like a real tool, trying to be everyone's friend.
That is Schilling in the box with Miller, etc. not o'brien.
Scutaro has been such a great pick up.
L is bitching about Sox radio, while others are bitching about espn ...
Figured L was complaining about the radio crew
wow, these guys can hit the ball to the outfield.
And I haven't heard a word from any of them ...
I love how 'Laser show' has become a mainstream association with Pedroia.
Back from the Dom. Rep.
I think I would know Curt Schilling if I saw him! :)
I'm at work w/ MLB Audio.
Yeah, "laser show", it's the thing now.
Leaving soon... any guesses on what the score will be when I get home?
4-0
Kuroda is taking over 20 seconds between pitches
Just for fun, I'll say 6-0.
Uhh, Miller, Schilling has more than two rings.
I'll say he does.
I like all 3 of his rings!
I'm sure everyone here does except me.
See you all later
Hey, maybe he'll make it through 6.
clay should be able to get thru 6
Who the hell is Daniel Nava abd why is he here?
more psychic stuff!
Who the hell is Daniel Nava abd why is he here?
man, did you miss something!!!!
Checking in from Wellfleet. I heard OB and Castig saying nice things about Manny in the car.
As long as he doesn't help the Dodgers win tonight, Manny can do whatever he wants. But I want to keep pace with NYY and get ahead of FKR.
And I cannot tolerate Jon Miller so I probably will just watch online.
nava debuted last saturday (also)
But I want to keep pace with NYY and get ahead of FKR.
Amen!!!
Ive been in the Dominican Rep. for the last 2 weeks and so only able to read summaries and standings.
oof.
They don't get JoS down there? :>)
Cameron out on infield fly.
Well, now we know Joe Morgan did not put 100% effort in. (I still have ESPN on.)
My only internet access in Santiago consisted of a Mailboxes Etc.
Ningun al hotel.
I just got my picture taken with the world series trophies.
Beltre!!!!
WEB GEM!
BELTRE TAMES THE SNAKE!
i'd like to have a pic with both of them. (i met the 2004 one in feb 2005 in boston at a sosh party)
And, it was free. Cool to see the trophies. Not too excited about the picture.
i wish i had molested it a bit more. i just kinda of held on to one of the little flags.
since hitting carroll, clay has faced 10 batters and allowed only 1 walk. nice to see him battle thru the shitty first/second and not melt down.
ah, the "Donnie Ballgame" mistake (supposed to be Donnie Baseball)--one made by many kids in the tri-state back in the 80s. Add Jon Miller to the list. He's no Ted Williams, Jon.
Early day tommorrow, so off to bedroom and the radio.
Later
Re manny. My son says that you have to ask all the people who boo him if they would rather have no manny or 2 WS championships.
... or even one championship.
Double H is cruising!
HH PC: 30-14-16 12-16-11 = 99
that sinking liner to nava was his only out not in the infield tonight.
Agh, someone must be warming, no?>
That ground rule double wasn't an out in the infield either.
Hu's on first?
Time for Bard to shut it down.
Standing o for HH
Bard will crush your hopes and dreams with only one pitch!
A bit early for Bard, no? Guess it was one out, so he will still do the 8th.
that's when we needed him.
Poker face between innings:)
plus 1 pitch and a day off tomorrow = more bard in the 8th
Woo woo.
Nice. I see Clay struggled a bit early but he seems to be on a roll now. Hopefully the big count early on won't make him leave TOO early.
Kids took me out to my favorite restaurant downtown for Daddy's day. Speaking of, Happy Same to all you daddys around JoS. Been watching since the end of the 5th, but been on the phone.
Welcome home Meunier. Did you see any sandlot ball down there? There have been, you know, a couple or 3 pretty decent ballplayers who came out of those fields.
ooo, that strike 3 pitch was criminal.
bard's last hitter
jeemer up
Manny...do not piss me off.
Phew---Miller (who I still hate) had me fooled.
thought we'd see jeemr for loney
whew-- nava!
Mrs G, are you at Fenway?
No I was too busy looking at the only thing better in the DR than the baseball, the women.
I suspect we'll see a sweaty dong here.
FUCK YEAH!!!! TRIPLE!
KAPWANNNGG!!!!!
Send him home, Papi.
A trio of bases for Petey!
some IN-surance
Yes Amy. Good times
torre merely rearranging the deck chairs ...
Ha, I was typing good times while Flo was up but it didn't help
Only sweaty hacks. Youk's had a bad night.
Where are you sitting? Great game to be there for.
What else will you see in Boston?
Got home from work... and the game is not on!! The Rogers sports station that always shows the ESPN game switched over to its highlight show!! WTH???
Beltre with an AL-best .403 average with RATS
Wow, that was fast.
Damn, close!
3b ump shoulda blown that call...
Damn.
Amy. I have an autism conf in Waltham and my son is looking at Berklee
OK, I am going to breathe deeply and close my eyes while Pap pitches.
Berklee---I assume he is a musician---good for him!
One
One.
Hey, Patrick was right! (Score when I got home)
Oh never mind, not so
Two
One more, Pap.
K
Torre not looking too happy.
Nice....
Looks kinda like a guy we used to have here.
Oh yeah, it was him
Sweep of dirty water!
The water is Muddy!!!
The air may be dirty in LA but the WATER is dirty in Boston!
Yes, Pap looking quite pappy.
re torre:
"that's a shame."
Don't drink the water! It is SWEEPING DIRTY!
Filthy!
Aaaaall abooooaaaarrrrd!
SECOND PLACE!!!!!!
La agua esta sucia, zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Looking thru the thread, I thought this was funny
Phew---Miller (who I still hate)
Because otherwise we might have thought you now liked him, Amy! Thanks for clarifying!
Ha ha, Amy can't even type his name without reminding us how she hates that man.
Standings are looking mighty dirty, too. Yee-hah.
See you all Tuesday! Although I'm sure we'll all see each other tomorrow somewhere or other.
Yes, I am nothing if not consistent.
Good night, all. Back to NESN announcers for a while now. :)
2 sweeps in a row and 8-1 vs the NL so far this time around.
10-2 vs the NL overall this year .. onto colorado!
gotta finish up some stuff at work -- then i am off for 11 DAYS!!
(firm is shut down next weekend because of the G20)
Water as clean as Pedey's and Nava's uniforms!
Off for 11 days - Hot Damn!
Enjoy
I've noticed you stopped including the Jays in your division sum ups lately... They aren't out of it yet, in my opinion.
MFY 43 27 -
FKR 42 27 .5
BOS 43 28 .5
SBJ 38 32 5
Stupid Blue Jays are only a decimal point behind after all.
They aren't out of it yet, in my opinion.
Nevertheless.
Point taken.
Being "out of it" implies they were once in it.
