Red Sox - 000 204 000 - 6 12 0It took only eight pitches for Jonathan Papelbon to give up the lead and the game, allowing a solo shot to Ian Stewart to start the bottom of the ninth and then a single and a one-out, game-winning, pinch-hit, two-run home run to Jason Giambi. It was Colorado's first win this season in a game in which they trailed after seven innings.
Rockies - 022 100 003 - 8 13 0
Lackey (6.2-10-5-0-7, 110) put Boston in a 4-0 hole, but he helped the comeback against Jimenez (5.2-10-6-0-7, 106; ERA now 1.60) with his stick. Daniel Nava had doubled home two runs in the fourth and he doubled again in the sixth, scoring Adrian Beltre. Then, with two outs, Darnell McDonald belted a two-run, game-tying dong to left-center. Lackey followed that with a double to deep center field and he scored the go-ahead run on Marco Scutaro's single to right. (Lackey came into the game with a career batting line of 1-for-31; he went 2-for-3!)
It was Papelbon's second blown save of the season, and his fourth loss, but it was especially painful because the Red Sox had managed to score six runs against Jimenez, who had allowed only three runs in April and four in May. In 13 of his 14 starts this year, he had allowed 0, 1 or 2 runs.
The Yankees beat the Diamondbacks 6-5 in 10 innings and the Rays lost to the Padres 5-4.

«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 356 of 356Go for it, Laura. So far the drinking seems to be helping the team.
(I am abstaining---feeling the heat---so drink it for me.)
ubaldo runs allowed
april & may: 7
tonight: 6
I really hope Ubaldo doesn't lose any mojo for his next start. I'd be glad if only the Red Sox hit him hard.
Tim, take note: you are asking Laura for directions and also encouraging her to drink more! :)
Fake 201 - BOOOOOOOO
Sox scored more runs on Jimenez than he allowed in either April or May.
L, definitely another bloody mary.
PEER PRESSURE.
Damnit, Redsock. More psychic posts.
407 bills to dad! That's the way to do it then.
Keele to 407 to 427 south or 403. Tell me if you need our address.
Do you have my cell? If not I'll email it to you.
Tomw you have to tell me why you are living at York for a month!
lol Amy. The directions are done with now, so I've just opened a beer myself!
I really hope Ubaldo doesn't lose any mojo for his next start. I'd be glad if only the Red Sox hit him hard.
He's good, but I hope he comes to earth. I think Halladay is better and I want him to win the CY.
Yup, I think you emailed me the address and I have it from other emails. I actually know it off by heart! haha, I'm good with finding places so it should be easy.
HA!
NESN commercial for travel to Canada.
Tim, will you bring your laptop so all three of you will be commenting while sitting together?
I wish we could all be there!
dicks (sic) on the pond in AZ. one out, top 3.
I've gotta bring the laptop. Dunno how much threading will happen, but definitely some. I agree, JoS gathering in Toronto would be bomb diggity.
I wish you could all be here, too! Hey, you're all invited. JoS2 late July...
And yes, we'll have our laptops.
Vmart not confident in Papi's fielding?
Ok Tim, so you're all set. Email me if you need anything.
No need to bring anything, either, we're all set.
Lackey getting sharper now that he is the star hitter!
I promise one of these summers we will come to Toronto. But not this summer.
JoS2 on August 11-12, I believe.
I just caught up on comments, I better go make that bloody mary! Peer pressure :)
(Amy, it's hot here too, but we're in A/C. )
RS - Thanks for the kind words about the Jimenez post. Much appreciated. I was so excited to see you'd quoted from me.
I'm a little under the weather today so I doubt I'll be writing much more but I wanted to write in and thank you.
Go Red Sox!
Allan misunderstood my question, he thought I was asking about JoS1. JoS2 would be in August.
Of course Amy can't come, she'll be kvelling over her grandbaby!!
i thought L was asking for the exact date of JoS1. that's why she said late july.
ideally, if it happens, it would be wed 8/11 at skydome and thursday 8/12 afternoon at chez l-sock.
No AC in the cottage, just a little fan. It usually does not get too hot here, but today and tonight---hot and humid. Cooler now, but the heat sort of got to me today.
wouldn't mind lackey pitching the 7th if he keeps rolling like this.
iirc, colorado had like 6 hits in the 2nd or something, and 9 now. so not bad.
Kvelling for sure!
Cassie not liking the heat much either. Poor doggie.
Put this puppy away, David.
Just talking about the wimbledon game now, get with the thread Don and Jerry! That is SO old news.
Also, L - as a Canadian, you should be drinking CEASARS!!!!! None of this bloody mary stuff. Gotta go with the clamato.
cardinals get a run in the top of the 9th, beat the jays 1-0!
I wouldn't think there'd be AC in a cottage on the Cape. The heat is tough on dogs. In NYC, on the top floor of our bldg, I would have the AC on 24/7 for the dogs. Our electric bills were insane in the summer, but I couldn't let the dogs suffer.
The blackout nearly killed us!
So Tim is living in York (or will be) and I'm living in York...? Of course different Yorks, but funny.
i assume L will be as understanding when i ask the thread "more wine?" and you all say yes!
Tim, I thought of that. :)
But you know what, I made the gazpacho for tomorrow night and there was leftover tomato juice! I already had horseradish in the house from something else - and celery! So I had to go for it.
No mixes here, the real deal.
SDP: 000 021 101 - 5 8 2

We just give her lots of fresh water and keep her out of the sun. She seems okay, just a bit lethargic.
mdc and ubardo up
And every time I see York University in the news, for a split second I think it says New York University.
Horseradish eh? Interesting. I don't think I've ever actually looked up the recipe for a Bloody Mary, did not realize there's horseradish in it.
As for the wine, obviously. I hope we won't need to ask the thread tomorrow!
Amy, right, it's easier out of the city, too. In an apartment, it was awful.
It was so humid here, today. Disgusting.
"ubardo"
lol
Wow, surprised Ortiz is still in there.
billof the cap high!
DRRRRRRRRRINK
David still has the defensive reflexes.
Tomato juice, horseradish, tabasco, lime. You should have Worcestshire (sp? who cares, i'm drinking) sauce, too, but you can live without that part.
shakespeare!
What did Tito just do and why?
tito showing off with the triple switch.
bard in
victor to 1B
cactus to C (i assume)
Big Papi Defense:
Lazy Fly balls: No like.
Laser Line Drives: Like.
Joe just explained why Ortiz was still in.
NL gibberish, basically.
Careful, Tito. You used to manage an NL team and were FIRED.
It's the humidity that gets to me. We went to a shady area on one of the little ponds here. I just sat and read for a few hours without moving.
OK...so that is WHAT he did, but why?
Allan needs to be encouraged to drink more wine like Dice-K needs to be encouraged to walk batters
I can't remember all the NL strategy.
Like Yook needs to be encouraged to sweat
So, the way I understand this, Varitek replaces pitcher and is hitting 9th (Tito did this so Bard wouldn't have to hit), Bard replaces V-Mart (to defer the pitcher hitting spot)
Jason Giambi???
HGH on deck.
He's still alive?
tiz was the next to last out in the 7th, so tito can improve his D. bard goes into his spot. tek is now batting 9th.
Thanks, Tim. I take it his only choice was to take out Papi.
The humidity is the worst. I have no tolerance for it at all. I dream of living in a place with no humidity. And cold weather all the time. Should be easy to find in Canada.
I am atoning for all those mean things I said about Lackey.
Just thought you should all know.
Jason Giambi. Wow.
So I was near this crazy NL logic - one minor error, Bard replaces papi.
If I was an NL fan, I would chuckle over these comments of us trying to dissect just what the hell is happening.
I don't like the humidity here but down in North Carolina it felt fine. The heat just feels not so horrible down there, where everything is air-conditioned and you don't have to worry so much about a/c cost since that's offset in the winter by not having to heat too much.
I like warm weather, even into the high 80s. But humidity is a killer.
I feel better knowing that I was not the only one a bit perplexed by the triple switch.
no, he had a ton of choices.
he could have had bard in the 9th spot, but then he would come up too soon and have to be hit for. so he puts the pitcher in a batting spot that just hit (so he will be up "last") and has a new position player in the 9th spot -- which is up 4th this inning.
Hard to believe I used to really enjoy all that switching to avoid having pitchers hit. Now it just seems to...bizarre.
At least there's a bit more to the "manager" component in the NL
too bizarre
C'mon guys. It's not that hard :)
Meaning the NL switches.
I actually enjoy watching a manager work a line-up, although I still don't enjoy seeing my starting pitcher running basepaths.
Of course, they rarely do. They would have to get on base first
Maybe I'm drunker than I think, but I don't find the triple switch confusing at all.
SoSock and I thinking alike
So L-girl is hammered.
Also, I better not be let down with the pregame shots tomorrow! We might need the mojo to get into first!
try scoring the all-star game, when 6 batting spots change in one inning and it's all random (i.e., not 2b in the 2b spot).
Adam LaRoche with a 2 run single in AZ, snakes up 4-2 now, still batting in the 4th with no out.
silly allan, thinking we watch the all-star game
"The Pre-Game Salute To Kevin Millar"
No way, I ain't doing no pre-game shots tomorrow night, I'll be asleep by the 3rd inning!
Not hammered yet, but on my way.
Go rattlers!
ROFL (thinking we watch ASG)
I sleep through it every year. Until last year, when I spent it watching Shakespeare. Now that is what I will do every year.
Like I said, I used to really enjoy all that strategizing. It's just very foreign now.
years ago. (jerk)
i needed to keep a piece of scrap paper for substitution notes!
And by Shakespeare, you mean Will. Not Bard.
can tek hit as well as lackey?
I say do the shots!
OK, maybe do A shot.
Yes, Will S. Going to Stratford again this year for the break, I'm really looking forward to it.
Sure would like some insurance runs.
can tek hit as well as lackey?
ouch
HOLD THAT LINE.
Oh sure SoSock, easy for you to say :)
KaKtus
There's your answer, fishbulb.
i am out of practice with the NL games. i forget to put the new pitchers in the batting order and not just in the pitching stat boxes.
Fishbulb?
I tried scoring the ASG NL park once... I think I actually did it, but I'm currently blocking the headache out of my mind.
Melvin Mora! He still looks like he's crying.
Simpsons quote! (fishbulb)
L - Believe it or not I started typing "of course that's easy for me to say. I'm not the one doing them" then changed my mind.
Great minds think alike I hear
filthy.
ubardo>ubaldo
4 outs on what, 12 pitches? me likey.
MFY: 101 0
ARZ: 200 2
"And what about the porpoise?"
re scorebooks. I love keeping them myself, although I don't usually carry one to the game. But I do hate the NL games when you have the 5 subs, therefore 6 different .players, in the 1 spot like tonight. The book just loses all semblance of order.
And I don't like a disorderly scorebook
Way to go, Robbie Cano!
first pitch gidp to end the 5th in zona.
Bottom of the ninth, only a one run lead. Why do I wish I had been drinking?
whose apparently made 6 outs tonight in his 3 ABs according to GDGD
(not sure if link will work)
time to get our snuff on.
Somebody make Amy a drink, stat!
I care about saves right now. Because I want Pap to get one!
SHIT. What did I say?
Make it a double.
yasoidjaslkdjalsdaskdj
fuck you bot.
so it's not 2007, eh?
I think it is time to let Bard be our closer.
That took the wind out of my sails.
That didn't take long!
Fuckety fuck
I cannot believe it.
HE SUCKS.
Papelbon filtering out the dirty, now trying to clean the damn water.
I was worried about Paplebon getting no movement on his fastball in the Denver air.
I wonder if the "Make some noise" graphic was flashing there, like it was last night.
Keep Lackey, turn in Papelbon for the soft serve machine.
Papelbon is performing reverse osmosis on this shit.
Atta boy bot. Just go ahead and serve 'em up
what tim exuded.
There we go. Clean water.
Fuck. That was such a fun game too!
UN FUCKING BELIEVABLE.
I hate Papelbon. Since at least JOS1. I HATE HIM.
Fuck this.
I am not happy
Bard - 12 pitches, 4 outs.
Papelbon - Less than 12 pitches, 3 runs, loss.
Fuck this.
3 batters - a single and 2 home runs.
Yeesh
Fucking Britta filter Papelbon. Asshole.
Well, that ruined my night...
God, I hate him. Did I say that already?
That's his 2nd BS of the year, I'm going to blame this on the air in Denver.
I think we have to move Paplebon if he won't throw anything other than his fastball.
And here come the yankees. Grrrreat.
I never really liked Papelbon but he was definitely fine and tolerable when he pitched well, and the dancing was pretty neat.
But when he doesn't pitch well? I mean, he pitched like he fucking has someplace he needed to be. "Here's a fastball for the taking. I need to go sightseeing."
Oh and thanks for making me listen to the goddam venga bus song.
On the bright side: Hello, Heidi! Loving the pink shirt.
And Dice shall lead us ....
What the fuck does he need to sight see? Wasn't there enough rocky mountain foliage in the bullpen for him?
Jesus. Remy with the Kay-esque "OHHHHHHH, WHAT A HEARTBREAKING LOSS" shit.
I don't feel it. It's a loss -- like we thought we'd get with UB on the hill. We move on. Piss on it.
pink shirt not showing up on GDGD. all in all: suck.
tomorrow:
steak, a mowed lawn, shots, vats of wine, dogs 'n dice ...
we cannot lose.
& go snakes.
Piss on it indeed. Tomorrow we romp. Special JoS gathering romp. Of the record-breaking kind.
I'm pissed, but not heartbroken.
that sounded creepy. very creepy. sorry guys.
Bill hall is making 8.5 million this season? What the fuck?
So between him and lowell, thats 18 million dollars on the bench? Christ theo.
Not that I care about the money, but that would've been nice to put towards someone BETTER
Don't know if anyone wrote this, but the first home run was by Ian Stewart, not Seth Smith. Still painful no matter who hit it.
Corrected.
