G71: Red Sox 2, Dodgers 0

Dodgers - 000 000 000 - 0  4  1
Red Sox - 101 000 00x - 2 7 0
A sweep of the Dodgers -- on the heels of a sweep of the Diamondbacks!

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.

    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 The ban is rescinded a day later.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.

  3. 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.

    Babe Ruth - all girls, all the time, and I suspect a dude now and again, too

  6. Yikes @ Gaga.

    I feel like A-Rod is the only one who might fall for her bait.

  7. 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.

  14. 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.

    What the hell was that? A mattress ad?

  18. 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...

  21. That's a single?!?!?!?!?!?!??!?!?

    ReplyDelete
  22. And he makes the most of it, eh.

    ReplyDelete
  23. Good thing this isn't the FKR. Their announcers claim Fenway is notorious for hometown scoring.

    ReplyDelete
  24. Sox showing off their speed!!!

    ReplyDelete
  25. Nice entertaining way to score a run. Now V-Mart needs to slam one outta here.

    ReplyDelete
  26. Ha, it was foul, instead of out #3. This keeps getting funnier and funnier.

    Knee-power, please.

    ReplyDelete
  27. 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?

    ReplyDelete
  28. Wow, I'm exhausted and that was only 1 inning...

    ReplyDelete

  37. "It's too early to call Danny Nava a star."

    It's also too early to call him Danny.

    ReplyDelete
  38. Apparently it will always be too early for that - he prefers Daniel

    ReplyDelete
  39. At least they are making Furoda work

    ReplyDelete
  40. oh god - is that schilling in there too?

    ReplyDelete
  41. Joe and OB giving Manny a lot of credit for his work ethic while he was in Boston.

    !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


    whew


    sorry

    ReplyDelete
  43. 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.

    ReplyDelete
  44. HH making it look really painful, but protecting the goose egg.

    ReplyDelete
  45. 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?

    ReplyDelete
  46. I agree, L. OB sounds like a real tool, trying to be everyone's friend.

    ReplyDelete
  47. That is Schilling in the box with Miller, etc. not o'brien.

    ReplyDelete
  48. Scutaro has been such a great pick up.

    ReplyDelete
  49. L is bitching about Sox radio, while others are bitching about espn ...

    ReplyDelete
  50. Figured L was complaining about the radio crew

    ReplyDelete
  51. wow, these guys can hit the ball to the outfield.

    ReplyDelete
  52. And I haven't heard a word from any of them ...

    ReplyDelete
  53. I love how 'Laser show' has become a mainstream association with Pedroia.

    ReplyDelete
  54. Back from the Dom. Rep.

    ReplyDelete
  55. 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.

    ReplyDelete
  56. Leaving soon... any guesses on what the score will be when I get home?

    ReplyDelete
  57. Kuroda is taking over 20 seconds between pitches

    ReplyDelete
  58. Uhh, Miller, Schilling has more than two rings.

    ReplyDelete
  59. I'm sure everyone here does except me.

    ReplyDelete
  60. Hey, maybe he'll make it through 6.

    ReplyDelete
  61. clay should be able to get thru 6

  62. Who the hell is Daniel Nava abd why is he here?

    ReplyDelete
  63. Who the hell is Daniel Nava abd why is he here?

    man, did you miss something!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  64. 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.

    ReplyDelete
  65. But I want to keep pace with NYY and get ahead of FKR.

    ReplyDelete
  74. And, it was free. Cool to see the trophies. Not too excited about the picture.

    ReplyDelete
  75. i wish i had molested it a bit more. i just kinda of held on to one of the little flags.

    ReplyDelete
  76. 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.

    ReplyDelete
  77. 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.

    ReplyDelete
  78. Early day tommorrow, so off to bedroom and the radio.

    Later

    ReplyDelete
  79. 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.

    ReplyDelete
  80. ... or even one championship.

    ReplyDelete
  81. HH PC: 30-14-16 12-16-11 = 99

    that sinking liner to nava was his only out not in the infield tonight.

    ReplyDelete
  82. Agh, someone must be warming, no?>

    ReplyDelete
  83. That ground rule double wasn't an out in the infield either.

    ReplyDelete
  84. Time for Bard to shut it down.

    ReplyDelete
  85. Bard will crush your hopes and dreams with only one pitch!

    ReplyDelete
  86. A bit early for Bard, no? Guess it was one out, so he will still do the 8th.

    ReplyDelete
  87. plus 1 pitch and a day off tomorrow = more bard in the 8th

    ReplyDelete
  88. 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.

    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.

    ReplyDelete
  113. Standings are looking mighty dirty, too. Yee-hah.

  120. 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.

    ReplyDelete
  121. They aren't out of it yet, in my opinion.

    Nevertheless.

  122. Being "out of it" implies they were once in it.
