Red Sox - 000 000 001 - 1 7 0Lester (6-6-1-1-6, 90) allowed a single and a walk to start the fifth, and had nearly pitched out of danger when Todd Helton rapped an RBI single to right. Hideki Okajima gave up a run on three consecutive one-out singles in the eighth.
Rockies - 000 010 01x - 2 9 0
Chacin allowed four hits and five walks in 6.2 innings, but they were nearly all bunched together in two innings. Mike Cameron singled to open the third, but was thrown out stealing. Josh Reddick singled and, after a bunt from Lester, Marco Scutaro and Dustin Pedroia walked. With the bases loaded, Victor Martinez worked a full count but grounded to second.
In the seventh, Adrian Beltre walked with one out and Daniel Nava singled. After Chacin fanned Cameron, he walked Reddick to load the bases. Joe Neimel came into face pinch-hitter David Ortiz and Papi grounded to second.
Boston rallied in the ninth as Beltre lead off with a double. Nava struck out, but Cameron singled Beltre home. Pinch-hitters Bill Hall (F9) and Mike Lowell (6-3) could not deliver. Lowell's grounder was deep in the hole, but Clint Barmes had time to dive for it, tumble a bit, then get to his feet and throw to first. A turtle could have beaten it out for a hit, but, alas, Lowell is no turtle.
The Yankees beat the Diamondbacks 9-3 and the Rays lost to the Padres 2-1, so both Boston and Tampa Bay fell to 1.5 GB in the East.
The last time the Red Sox played in Colorado was October 28, 2007, when Lester and friends finished a four-game sweep of the Rockies in the World Series.Scutaro, SS

Lester gets the ball again tonight, as the Red Sox begin a road trip with three games each against the Rockies and Giants. (After that, five of their next eight games are against the Rays.)AL East:
Padres/Rays, 7 PM
Yankees/Diamondbacks, 9:30 PM
1894 - Washington scores in every inning and beats Boston 26-12. Washington's George Tebeau scores four runs without getting a hit.
1912 - It's Ty Cobb's turn to bat with two outs in the bottom of the 9th, and the Tigers trailing 11-3, but no one can find him. George Mullin pinch-hits and flies out to end the game. Cobb was in the clubhouse taking a shower.
1916 - The Braves pull off a triple steal against the Giants in the 11th inning. It is the only extra-inning triple steal in National League history. It has happened only once in the AL: by the White Sox against the Senators on June 25, 1941.

«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 291 of 291Nice post for 201..
ugh
Lucky fuckers... Papi hit that one hard.
noooooooooooooooooooooooo
blegh chunks of fuckery.
squanderage.....boo
atchison and ramram were up
solid 201, though.
It posted twice, but now I won't delete the dupe.
Went bowling tonight with both my sisters and my dad. Well, he kept score. It was fantastic and felt like we were kids again. A rare moment these days.
...and the bowling alley had the game on! Woo hoo. I didn't miss much. (Yes I did. I was paying more attention to bowling)
On the bright side, if they bring Papi in to pitch he might hit again in the ninth!
I don't like these new fangled National League rules. :)
Nice job, Ramram.
top of the order for the 8th.

Funny game, Haren (pitcher) gets a bases loaded hit and Papi (DH) grounds out.

we've hit this clown when he was in clev, so hit him now
whoops. didn't include my comment on that. anyhow, it made me laugh.
Always happy to help anyone laugh!
Can we please SCORE? This is silly. Must be the thin air?
Victor! That'll start it off. Lets go YOUK!
rox say that fell in because the rockies OF are playing deep in a "no double play defense"
:>(
how does the thin air affect yook's sweat?
FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK!!
dammit. ok, move to the 9th and bust 'em.
Have we lost any games 1-0 this year? It doesn't feel like we have. It's always so frustrating to lose that way.
Please no soccer score.
Well, it would be pretty hard to make a double play if you're playing deep.
Our pitching sure has looked good, but sadly so has theirs.
We have been shutout 3 times this year.
April 15 - Twins 8-0
April 22 - Texas 3-0
June 9 - Cleveland 11-0
No 1-0. I didn't think so. Being blown out 11-0 or 8-0 is depressing, but not as frustrating as this. Even 3-0 isn't.
Ish, that sounds so much fun. I love bowling, although I suck at it. Allan is good. He has a trophy. (From like a million years ago)
well, we do have a shitty offense this year. ... blame theo.
Oh, man, what was THAT?
Perhaps it will not be 1-0...
Argghh.
Harvey and I went bowling on our first "date."
OK, I wish I hadn't said that about 1-0.
Well, Amy no longer has to worry about losing 1-0.
(IF we lose, of course.)
Terrible hop. Bummer
That's a base hit.
Anyway, I am not sure we ever bowled together after that.
snakes up there too.
Amy, it wasn't a date? It was a "date"?
Allan, catch me up. What's the reference to snakes and the infield? What did I miss?
We had known each other for more than a year, had done lots of things together with groups and alone, but it was the first time we did something AFTER we had gone from being friends to more than friends. So it wasn't like a date when a guy asks you out---it was just the first public thing we did together as a couple.
awhile back, beltre was complaining about the red sox infield, saying something like there are snakes in the grass or he can't control the snakes in the grass.
if you google beltre and "snakes in the grass", i'm sure it'll come up.
Oh cool. Thanks for filling that in. :)
Oh cool. Thanks for filling that in. :)
Amy, that is. Not Allan.
Now it's time to wake up, guys. Breathe that cool Rocky Mountain air and hit the god damn baseball.
Thanks. I'll check it out. I remember Beltre talking about the infield, but not the snake part.
Beltre, Nava, Cameron... come on guys, lets score some runs here!

Good start!
Lead off half dong!
“I had to get the hang of the grass here. The balls come like snakes and if you take your eyes off the ball for one second, you’re probably going to miss it. I’m trying to take as many balls as I can. But there are different hops everywhere. I have no choice but to get used to it.’’
Got back into the room to see Beltre on second. Yay!
Come on, Nava!
There's a "Lets go Red Sox!" chant going at Coors.
FUCK
Cam! We're on the board!!!
YES!!
Too bad we let them get that second run...
Ok, we're not getting shut out!
Hall... c'mon c'mon c'mon.
Win. This. Game.
okay, hall can dong and give us a lead and then pitch the 9th and get the save.
I'm ready to praise Hallelujah...
.500 career avg for Hall vs. Belisle
Uch.
Drop drop drop CRAP.
pfft
It's up to the Dr.
Dr Doubles?
Mikey Doubles!
somebody get me a doctor ...
A double is all we need.
I will take a walk.
Write us an Rx for a double...
Those slow legs...
Clean Rocky Mt water...
Double shit
crud. out on that throw. season's over now.
too bad a turtle could have beaten that out -- but not slowell
You can drink the water
Tomorrow we get them back.
Don't know when, but I'll catch up with you all again. Clean water now, but I see a dirty future.
Nick is right. Time to give up.
SLOWell, wow
Clean water is yucky.
Yeesh. Gotta have a little more offense against the damn Rox than that. Wicked Lester deserved better.
Fell asleep in the last inning last night. All Star team practicing every night, plus the Big League guys every other night, and it's suffocatingly HOT down here lately. I'm getting a tad fatigued.
"Cobb was in the clubhouse taking a shower."
That demonstrates a deep understanding of the game, a unique one, a very different level than most people.
Like Eric Cartman: "Fuck You Guys - I'm going home."
EARTH QUAKE IN CANADA!!!!!
Tim, did you feel anything? I saw the news (on FB) but didn't feel anything.
Yes, 5.5, epicentre 61 kms north of Ottawa. Don't go by us, tons of people in Mississauga felt it! But we didn't. All my Ottawa and Toronto Facebook contacts are going nuts over it.
Oops, you must have posted on a different thread! I'll go look...
