Red Sox - 300 000 001 - 4 7 1The Red Sox deserved to lose this one. They left 13 men on base, including 11 in the last four innings. They left the bases loaded in the 6th, 7th, and 9th innings, and stranded two on the 8th.
Giants - 031 000 01x - 5 12 1
Kevin Youkilis belted a three-run dong in the first, but the Giants quickly came back, and took the lead. Boston was down to its last out in the top of the ninth when Youkilis tripled to right-center. Victor Martinez singled him home and the Red Sox were within one. Adrian Beltre singled to left and Bill Hall walked. Bases loaded again -- but Darnell McDonald, who whiffed with the sacks full in the sixth, grounded to shortstop.
Dustin Pedroia fouled a ball off the inside of his left foot in the third inning. He ended up walking, but had to leave the game. X-rays were taken and the Red Sox said they are reviewing them and FY may have some more tests tomorrow. That is not encouraging news.
The Yankees beat the Dodgers 2-1, so the Red Sox and Rays (who were no-hit by Edwin Jackson of the Diamondbacks 1-0) are 3 GB.
After using six relief pitchers last night, the Red Sox have called up left-hander Fabio Castro and optioned Josh Reddick back to Pawtucket.
And:
Diamondbacks/Rays, 7 PM
Yankees/Dodgers, 10 PM
1915 - Babe Ruth becomes the second player to hit a ball into the right-field seats at Fenway Park.
1967 - Heavyweight boxer Joe Frazier wants to teach baseball players how to fight. "All they do is hurt themselves instead of the other guy. ... [They] should know about combinations as well as double plays."
1976 - Rangers shortstop Toby Harrah becomes the only shortstop in MLB history to play an entire doubleheader without having a fielding chance. (Game 1 and Game 2)
1988 - The Angels begin their game against the Brewers with only two outfielders, as CF Devon White is in the clubhouse when the game starts. He misses only one pitch, however.
1989 - The Mets do not record any assists in a 5-1 win over the Phillies (13 strikeouts, 12 fly outs and two ground balls to first). It is the second such game in MLB history (Yankees, July 4, 1945).
1995 - Colorado's Andres Galarraga becomes the fourth player in history to hit home runs in three consecutive innings (6th, 7th, 8th).

I maybe an inning or two late getting back for tonight's game. Please be patient!
I'll be at the game. Wake might not have been my first choice for starting pitcher. I'm a little nervous that they'll feel like they have to leave him in if he has trouble, given the state of the bullpen today.
Sanchez has blossomed into a very good pitcher (though it seemed to take forever). Lefties hardly scare our lineup, though. We can take him.
I don't root against the Giants often, but this is going to be one of those times.
Hey somebody go get Redsock, it's one minute to game time!
Holy fuck!!!!! Edwin Jackson no hit the rays!!!! Snakes win 1-0 on a laroche dong. 8 bb but fuck it - second time they've been no hit this year!
Suck it, staats!
Happy to be patient, though I may not be here past the first two innings anyway. These late starts are killers.
Sweaty 3 run dong in the 1st, Rays get no-hit by their old pitcher Edwin Jackson.
10 pitch inning for Wake, looks like the SF fog is helping him out.
Yooooouk. I could have been at the game tonight, but passed it up because we had guests for dinner. Sob.
wake is not helping himself here
Been listening to the game while I clean he kitchen. Lots of action, eh? some good, some decidedly not so.
What happened to FY?
welcome back! Now score runs, you guys!
I guess our esteemed hosts are back!
I was hoping someone could shed some light on FY's "injury" - been following on iphone gdgd here, spending time with Steph, we started to watch a movie and now I want to watch the rest of it. She's gone to sleep.
Foul ball off the top of his foot, couldn't walk to 1st base when he took a walk on the next pitch.
Ah, according to EB:
Trouble for the Sox. Dustin Pedroia fouled a ball off the inside of his left foot, stayed in the game long enough to draw a walk then barely made it to first base. He came out and was replaced by Mike Cameron.
Well that sucks.
Sidenote to that, I actually read your comment Allan, then CTRL+T'ed and started typing "joy" in, subconsciously thinking "I'll check JoS to find out what happened to Pedey!"
Alllright, movie done. Time for some comeback feat. wine.
every grounder I've seen seems awfully slow. A park thing?
jesus fuck, sandoval is fat.
thanks for that great freeze cam, NESN, with no semblance of freezing at any point during the replay.
No idea, nick - don't watch the NL and haven't watched any part of this game prior to yooks AB just now.
maybe they cut the grass high?
rally time pls
Sergio Romo coming in for the Giants
what do we want?
RUNS!
when do we want 'em?
NOW!
C'mon Hall.
i was wondering what happened to aaron rowand. all i remember is him running into a CF fence and cutting his chin up, at some point between 2004-2007.
Sir william hall, please do us kindly and swat a dong.
tim's idea of wine is an excellent idea, btw.
gotta cash in, boys.
GO!
or not. crap.
I would have some beer but I'm going to go to bed soon. Hoping I'll stick around for the whole game but we'll see. I've been busy lately since my sister's been up here for work & I've been visiting her a few times the last couple days.
And surveying storm damage in the area today. Got a nasty microburst yesterday.
"My" wine idea seems like a necessity at this point.
I was inspired by your box of white, Allan, and purchased one myself tonight. I wanted a glass or five, but am always pissed about having to open a whole bottle to have 1/2 of it. This is great!
This seems to keep happening to Wakefield, he will get down by a run and the team can't pick him up.
TIMMAY!
the box is good, but it is hard to tell how much you have drunk. with a bottle, it is easy.
WOW
Just went on to what I like to call "the internets" and saw sports news about the NHL draft - can't believe I totally forgot about that with the Bruins having the 2nd pick. Glad they got Tyler as opposed to Taylor. (Sorry Allan - OTT, totally baiting ish with that comment)
Nice play, Mr. Martinez!
Yeah, I could see that becoming an issue
plus i think (on no evidence) they do not include as much wine in the bags as they say they do. paranoid about getting short-changed!
Wake left in there...
I was going to go down to Quincy Market for the draft party tonight but had dinner with my sister instead. Kinda bummed I didn't make it but I'll get over it.
it's a bit surprising.
casilla fears wake's BAT
GOOD EYE, WAKE!!!
I'd like to hope that if I filled up bottles with the box, it would fill up 4, as advertised (3L).
But I'm sure that it always is disappointing when the box ends - "what? that was 4 bottles ALREADY? but its only the top of the 7th!"
Its not really a big deal, the NHL draft. How far are you from Boston - I always see stuff on twitter/facebook/here that you're always in town there for stuff!
Jesus wake, nice slide
RATS
WHITESIDEBALLA
yes, wake did not peel off and allow an unmolested throw to first -- like varitek does ALL THE FUCKIN TIME. man i hate that.
bout time to continue that on base streak, naver!
green light pls
2x2x DOUBLE UP
WHITESIDEBALLA!!!!!
I had a bunch of friends I was going to meet up with down there then go to Boston Beer Works. I'm about an hour north of Boston but I can't get down there all the time. Compared to you lot, yes.
nice hacking, shithead
why is nesn advertising sunday's game?
what is going on tmrw, it starts at 7? some sort of weird-ass "fuck you red sox fans, you get mccarver in prime time" ploy by fox?
or maybe they'll get bill o'reilly to do colour. that'd be swell.
mfy 2, lad 1 in 7th
for some reason i thought you were near portland, which, from what i remember is like 2 hours out of boston. but iirc, you're near kittery? or at least near NH, which makes sense now.
oh thinking, how i underestimate your abilities.
I love that fat man.
FUCK SAKES
squanderiffic
fuck.
Fuck you Victor, can you get a RISP hit for once??
i guess we need at least 5 wild pitches in an inning to get a run in
Nice to see Juan Uribe hasn't kicked the bucket yet either.
Now I see where the term "senior circuit" comes from.
With the no hitter against the Tampa Bay Rays today, that's the second time this year the Rays have been no hit. I just checked BR, and of the 262 sanctioned major league no hitters dating back to 1875, a team has been no hit twice in one season a dozen times (most recently, the 2001 San Diego Padres by AJ Burnett and Bud Smith; only once have the two no hitters been on consecutive days).
Did you know that no team has ever been no hit three times in one year? I say the Rays go for it.
this 3 hits in 7 innings is quite annoying. fix that, pls.
beltre snaked that.
BELTRE!
time for some good times!
put it in the bay, flo.
Tim, I'm right next to Kittery, so it's about 45 minutes south of Portland, an hour east of Manchester and an hour north of Boston. So yup.
It all makes sense, now make sense of this game, scut!
fucking awful.
LOBotomy if ive ever heard of one.
LOB-otomy.
I'd like to see Tito go with the traditional single switch here, and have Ortiz pitch the 8th. For shits and giggles.
Further review on Pedroia's X-Ray... Means it didn't come back negative.
That is bad news, bears.
So Pedey broke his foot. Fuck.
Not sure yet but they're not saying he didn't break something.
I am going to miss Pedroia. ugh.
You and me both, Junior.
switchover to YES and what do i hear?
"there's a strike."
fruitbat in for the bot 9th, up 2-1. 1 out, no one on.
2-out triple from yook.
c'mon vic
Hopefully tomorrow will have regular uniforms. This is too much for me tonight, especially that fuckin' orange there.
tease. 5-4.
Solid blue light discount there, but that fucking sac fly in the 8th. God dammit.
Lets go Beltre, this closer is fuckin' cooked.
NOT BILL HALL
PLEASE TITO
"they were swingin'
down at the kingdom hall..."
maybe hall can BB, so we can leave them loaded to end the game
This fucking beach boy has ridiculous hair.
earn that $, hall
Brian's rattled. Just wants to go surfin, surfin usa.
HE'S GIVIN ME
EX
SIGH
TAY
SHUNS!!!
microwave .........
here we fucking go, fuck this closer.
nvm microwave, another BB or wild pitch would do just grrrrrrreat right about now!
fuck - bat drew here, tito!
hahahahaha, crazy old man with panda touque.
yep, loaded.
fuck these sox.
13 LOB!
asshats
Fuck sakes.
I never liked them fucking beach boys anyway. Bunch of pricks.
Time to go in my room.
Smile?
FUCK YOU!
Ugh. Sparkling clean water. Goodnight.
When does Ellsbury come back already?
13 lob? I watched innings 6-9 and recall 11 of the 13. 3 bases loadeds, and the 8th with 2 on, iirc.
oh well, sleep time. not sure if laura got my email or not, but i wasn't able to make it there today to pick up my sunglasses - so take em outta the mailbox please if they're still there!
i'll figure out when i can come by next week to grab em. but i found out today i get free ones with my work benefit plan, and since my eyes are much shittier than that prescription, i might grab another set.
Still 7-3 in their last 10. Just do that all season, .700 ball, suuuure!
Edwin Jackson: 9-0-0-8-6, 149
149?!?!?
