G83: Rays 6, Red Sox 5

Red Sox - 004 100 000 - 5 10  0
Rays - 100 022 10x - 6 10 0
Boston battered Garza (3-7-4-2-1, 84) in the third after he had retired the first two batters. Eric Patterson homered -- he would also hit a dong in the fourth -- and then there was a walk, double, and three singles. The Red Sox led 5-1.

Dice (5-8-5-4-4, 112) gave the lead away, however, as he was unable to retire any of the first four batters in the sixth. Ramon Ramirez allowed two singles to the start the seventh, and a sacrifice fly scored the go-ahead run.

In addition to his two homers, Patterson doubled in the seventh. David Ortiz walked three times and singled.

Patterson, LF
Ortiz, DH

Beltre, 3B

Cameron, CF
Cash, C
These guys faced each other last Wednesday, and their lines were very similar: Garza (7-6-3-2-5, 110); Dice (6-4-3-4-7, 111). The Rays teed off on Manny Delcarmen in the eighth and won 9-4.

Out west:
Yankees/A's, 10 PM
Help! I would like a permanent description/subtitle thing. Any old or new ideas that are funny, straight-forward, or just plain neato?
Example
July 5: The New York Giants become the first team to use a public address system (1929), Cleveland's Larry Doby is the first black player in American League history (1947), and the A's and Angels set a record for the most runs scored in the first inning (Oakland 13-3) (1996).

Jays off = we have NESN!

allan said...

is this thing on?

johngoldfine said...

Seems on to me, but I've been watering the garden, so what do I know.

laura k said...

Of course it's on.

Kathryn said...

I've got TB network. I'll probably be setting up the computer soon.

Flipping through the channels, we found a Tina Turner concert from Holland filmed in 2009. Wow, it was incredible. At age 70, she still has it. Great singing, dancing, and her legs still look pretty damn good. Amazingly sexy dancers on tour with her, well choreographed by Toni Basil.

We also went to see Toy Story 3. Very good movie. Bring the tissues, though.

Stinky double play.

johngoldfine said...

I agree, Mrs GR--TS3 quite the weepie, very enjoyable because or despite....

laura k said...

What a catch. Geez.

allan said...

PATTERDONG!!!!!

laura k said...

And the guy doesn't even have a nickname!!!

Benjamin said...

That's one way to win a battle with a pitcher.

Kathryn said...

Nice catch.

PATTERSON!!!

My husband: I'm surprised Crawford didn't sprint over there and catch it (in his sarcastic voice).

allan said...

patterson: "spit on this"

Kathryn said...

The movie was very relevant to me. My son was two when the first movie came out and he still has his Buzz Lightyear. He is 17 and headed to college next year. Very touching.

laura k said...

I have never seen any of the Toy Story movies.

laura k said...

SAFE!! Get that hand in there, Wheels.

Kathryn said...

Sending Papi? Way to go.

Kathryn said...

Catcher was out of position. I think he has him if he is at the plate instead of in front of it.

laura k said...

We looove the 2-out rally.

Edward Lee said...

Catcher was out of position. I think he has him if he is at the plate instead of in front of it.

John Jaso would also be dead if he'd tried to block the plate there.

Kathryn said...

Good story lines about toys and their relationships with their owners. I think TS3 is the best of the bunch.

allan said...

only angle nesn showed was no help in seeing where he was.

Kathryn said...

John Jaso would also be dead if he'd tried to block the plate there.

Good point there. I guess your life is worth more than a run.

laura k said...

Hallelujah!

Kathryn said...

Keep it going!!! You gotta love 4 run innings.

Kathryn said...

With all this excitement, I forgot that Crawford looked like he got hurt on that diving catch. I want to monitor that situation.

allan said...

fractured some ribs, perhaps?

Kathryn said...

Probably not, where was Beltre?

allan said...

shaking his wrist on the replay?

Kathryn said...

Well, he looked okay in his AB.

Patrick said...

What happened to the Daisuke that pitched to contact? I thought he was with us earlier this year.

laura k said...

"Dice K's out of the jam"

DRINK!

Patrick said...

"Dice K's out of the jam"

DRINK!


ughh. Even if that's all we drink on, it's a little too much for a Monday.

Patrick said...

Wow, Cash, at least take a pitch.

Kathryn said...

It certainly is nice to have the spitter out of the game (for numerous reasons).

Patrick said...

Is Patterson batting in the 2 spot? Do we just not care about lineup order at all anymore?

allan said...

I was moaning to myself about that last inning, thinking about his .260-ish OBP. Then he donged!

allan said...

PATTERSON SAYS FU JOS!!!!

laura k said...

PATTERDONG PART 2 !!!

Kathryn said...

Then he donged!
Rally killer.

Rally killer x 2!!!!!

Patrick said...

Hah, I was just dissing him too.

laura k said...

Don totally trooped me on that

Kathryn said...

I guarantee anyone listening on the radio just got Truped.

allan said...

you ain't no patterson, there, papi.

Patrick said...

I'm listening to the radio, and OB did give me partial wood there for a second.

He's pretty good about being cautiously optimistic.

tim said...

Who the fuck is Patterson and why is he so goddamn dongtacular?

laura k said...

Dongtacular! Excellent word.

Kathryn said...

I guess he's not hurt, huh?

allan said...

not enough, no.

laura k said...

Hey Tim, are you on the thread?

Patrick said...

Our bullpen is way to thin to give these guys any more runs.

allan said...

this nickle and dime shit is annoying.

3rd out pls

Kathryn said...

Well that sucks.

Patrick said...

Oooo, let's see how he wriggles out of this one.

allan said...

was he out? seems very hard to say with nesn's weak replays.

Kathryn said...

I guess that's what happens when he pitches to contact.

BTW, I think he was safe at the plate.

Kathryn said...

THROW STRIKES!!!!

tim said...

Back now, had to take the pooch out.

tim said...

He's all "you fuckers WILL know my name by the end of the night!"

allan said...

sultan time.

tim said...

They want to pitch to yook? OK.

laura k said...

So everyone can see their own comment but no one else's?

allan said...

Amy said...

Hmm, thread stopped an hour ago. Guess there is a power outage in TO.

tim said...

Back for more...what happened to my comments from before?

Just noticed that each of the 6 rays pitchers tonight has at least 1 strikeout. Annoying.

allan said...

allan said...

allan said...

No power outage in Mississauga. Blogger was just being weird, not posting comments.

laura k said...

Actually, a power outage in TO wouldn't have stopped the thread. Moderation was off.

tim said...

So now all the comments are here?

Stupid blogger, really has to lay off the booze.

laura k said...

I don't know whether all the comments appeared or not. I think not.

Philip said...

Tito blew that game. Batting Patterson 2nd? PRing Cameron instead of PHing? Oh, and let's not forget the pure stupidity of not using a decent reliever in 7th, 8th. GOD FORBID we use our closer in non-save situation.
