Red Sox - 110 250 010 - 10 14 1Bill Hall went 3-for-5, with two home runs and four RBI, and Clay Buchholz limited the Blue Jays to one unearned run over eight innings (8-5-1-2-4, 109).
Blue Jays - 100 000 000 - 1 7 0
Hall's dongs broke a 1-1 tie in the second and extended Boston's lead to 4-1 in the fourth, respectively. Boston broke the game open with no outs in the fifth, as J.D. Drew homered, Victor Martinez and David Ortiz singled, and Adrian Beltre homered, ending Marcum's (4-7-8-3-3, 92) night. Brian Tallet came in and allowed a double to Mike Lowell and a one-out RBI single to Hall.
In the eighth, Darnell McDonald, who had subbed for Drew in right, tripled and scored on Victor's single. ... Lowell had a big night, with two singles, a double, and a bases loaded walk.
The Yankees beat the Rangers 7-6, keeping Boston 5 GB in the East. The Rays lost to the Tigers 3-2, so the Red Sox are 3.5 GB Tampa Bay in the WC.
Buchholz has allowed more than three runs in only one of his 13 starts since May 14. In that time, he has a 2.14 ERA.Scutaro, SS

Tonight's game was penciled in as a possible JoS2, but no one wanted to come to Canada. Sniff ...

Just listening to Michael Kay on the radio........He was all over Jeter, saying he couldn't put down a bunt and was amazed he didn't beat out a slow grounder to Guzman who the flipped to Andrus then threw out Jeter at first....Also calling out Teixera questioning why he needs 2 days off since his newborn and wife are doing well.......

ReplyDeleteInstead of playing the uber human, bring her your back-up glove, if she doesn't have one, and remind her to keep her eye on the ball.
I want to be 4 GB the Chokers tomorrow morning. I have asked Cliff Lee to help us. It shall be done.
ReplyDeleteBlogger is running out a new comment dashboard thing. Turns out it was added to JoS last night and some comments were classified as spam, including two of mine! They were the post-game "Muddy" comment and a screenshot of one of the homophobic comments our dear troll says he never never never left (so you can go back and see that if you like.) It also dumped a comment of Benjamin's. They have all been restored, according to L.
ReplyDeleteloaded for the dr.
ReplyDeletemaybe some of marcum's problems can be traced back to that silly facial hair.
ReplyDeleteMarcum saying naughty words.
ReplyDeleteFuck MLB. This game is the freebitold the night to watch on mobile phones but is blacked out for me. Because if I'm on a mobile phone I can so easily tune into a tv. Right.
ReplyDeletehey shawn, you still got a no-hitter!
ReplyDeleteThe new dashboard has tabs for three types of comments: spam, awaiting moderation, and published.
ReplyDeleteIt lists 182,849 published comments! That must be every one ever posted.
Following it on Gameday b/c I have Photoshop open right now.
ReplyDeletethanks for the out, cito!

ReplyDeletejays radio: "the bunt is not a miracle remedy for winning ball games"
ReplyDeletePassed Ball ?!~
ReplyDeleteyeah, PB
ReplyDelete1-1, but 0 hits for anyone!
ReplyDeleteSitting in a parking lot with my netbook hooked up to my phone... waiting on my dad to get back from a bike ride... listening to the radio. Nice evening. This is just really nice.
ReplyDelete...and he's back. Going home now.
KINGDOM HALL!
ReplyDeletefor jays radio, snider is the new alex rios, the god among men who can do no wrong and anything he does is awe-inspiring and never seen before and he can cure cancer with a wink of his eye.
ReplyDeleteSalty wearing #39
ReplyDeleteMH, I owe you an apology from last night. I can usually pick up on obtuseness, but I guess not last night. I must have been overloaded from work. Anyway, sorry about missing the friendly barbs.
ReplyDeleteGo Sox.
o'neill plays it on a hop
ReplyDeleteradio guys big on the "if something else existed, then it would have beenb good for the jays":
ReplyDeleteif wells hadn't hurt his toe last weekend, he would have caught lowell's hit
if kalish had not broken his bat, overbay would have turned a DP on that grounder.
they are like two 8 year old kids -- "if this guy hits a homer and then the next guy doubles and then we get another homer, we'll be winning."
2x KINGDOM HALL!!!
ReplyDeleteBILL HALL!! Again.
ReplyDeleteBill Hall will not be ignored.
ReplyDeleteHALL PASS AGAIN!
ReplyDeletewhy is tito batting hall 8th? idiot!
ReplyDeleteHH is dominating, and Tito isn't batting him at all. Idiot!

ReplyDeleteAlways a ray of sunshine, that Mr Kay. He was a bitter old man long before his time.
HALL!
ReplyDeleteGuy's gonna pitch the 8th and 9th, too!
The "icon" of Blue Jays radio is going on and on about "soft players" - leaders are those who play hurt - you know who the soft ones are, frequent visits to the training room. STFU. What good is playing hurt? When pitchers do it they screw over the whole team. Why do they have training rooms if players aren't supposed to go there? Bah.
ReplyDeleteI am only here tonight because of traffic.
ReplyDeleteWow. Jays radio is outdoing themselves in stoopid, yapping about how TOUGH wells is and how "soft" players are bad because they are in the trainers room all the time. real "rub some dirt in it" and play school. sure, can't throw, can't swing, can't run, may fuck up your body and ruin your career, but by golly i'm a gonna play a meaningless game in mid-august.
ReplyDeleteSOFT dong from drew!
ReplyDeleteJ.D.ONG!
ReplyDeleteDONGS ON FIRE!
ReplyDeleteNice shot!
ReplyDeleteSHIFT THAT!
ReplyDeleteHahahahaha
ReplyDeleteHEAD RUBBING DONG!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteBELT IT BABY
ReplyDeleteDid you see Victor reach in and try to rub Adrian's head before they went to commercial? LOL
ReplyDeleteholy mutton chops, batman!!!
ReplyDeleteCHOPS is back!
ReplyDeleteHALL IS GOD!
ReplyDeleteThat man ought to be arrested for bad facial hair. I'm sure those things are a criminal offense.
ReplyDeleteEveryone appears unanimous about Tallet's facial hair.
ReplyDeleteBack to Red Sox radio on the computer. Last night we couldn't get it so we turned on the actual radio. But they're driving us friggin nuts tonight, so it's back to basics.
ReplyDeleteAs A said, the lesser of three evils.
Has anyone her ever flown Porter Airlines?
ReplyDeleteI would think silence would be the least.
ReplyDeleteL's mother has flown Porter to see us a couple of times.
ReplyDeletewhile L was getting sox radio fired up, she turned on jays tv -- first thing she heard was buck martinez saying what a "solid pick-up" john lackey has been for boston.
ReplyDeleterish says wells catches flo's fly on "the edge of the track". 20 feet in is now "on the edge"?

Michael Young dong.
I know lots of people who fly Porter. Since they fly out of downtown Toronto, it's very popular here.
ReplyDeletefirst thing she heard was buck martinez saying what a "solid pick-up" john lackey has been for boston.
ReplyDeleteand promptly hit mute
Benajamin, thanks for that link, some good ones in there. "John Quincy Adams called, he wants his mutton chops back."
ReplyDeleteEvening, all. I see we are closer proof at the moment! I have been helping out here in Brooklyn. Hard to watch the game on the computer. (No MLB package or anything.)
ReplyDeleteI would think silence would be the least.
ReplyDeleteI can't do that because I want to be able to look away from the TV. To thread, for example. No sound, I miss too much.
Hey Amy :)
ReplyDeleteif you only have radio, rish is making shit up. that hit to CF was a hard line dive, not a soft hit.
ReplyDeleteI have the Yankee game on. It must be hard to be a Sox fan out of town. I have new found respect for all you non-New England residents.
ReplyDeleteClay = Ace.

I bet I could tune into Harvey's MLB, but he is home, and I bet he is signed on to watch the Yankees. He should be here, and I should be there! But then I wouldn't be with Nate....
ReplyDeleteMicrowave!
ReplyDeleteOh man, that was painful, watching Victor run. Catchers.
ReplyDeleteAmy, you can probably sign in to MLBTV even if Harvey is using it. Allan and I have done that many times.
ReplyDeleteOK, I will try!
ReplyDeleteI'm only here tonight because there's construction on the highway we take into Toronto. There was so much traffic on my way to my meeting, I gave up and came home.
ReplyDeleteThis construction is going to continue for a long time, too. :(
salty alert!
ReplyDeleteSalty's in!
ReplyDeleteIt worked!
ReplyDeletei could have given you my login, but good.
ReplyDeleteAmy might not be able to watch on MLBTV if she's home market.
ReplyDeleteSO MUCH FOR THAT THEORY
ReplyDeleteGood thing his password was so obvious!
ReplyDeletecastig: "tex 4-1, and threatening for more"
ReplyDeleteBenjamin, I am in NYC so not the home market. Harvey uses this to watch the NYY in Massachusetts.
ReplyDeletemurphy up with sacks full.
ReplyDeletemake harvey mad.
Yankees just failed to get a runner out in a rundown between home and third. Rarely see that happen.
ReplyDeleteI think that's what Benjamin's all caps meant. :)
ReplyDeleteTexas winning 6-1 now.
ReplyDeleteMurph comes through
ReplyDeleteAmy's update beats Rish's.
ReplyDeleteThe Blue Jays announcers are very impressed with HH.
ReplyDeleteYankees just failed to get a runner out in a rundown between home and third. Rarely see that happen.
ReplyDeleteThis was beautiful. Michael Young ran on contact from third and got hung up. Rodriguez throws to Posada at home. Young turns around, but Rodriguez lingers in the basepath, screening Posada's throw back to Jeter (now covering third). Rodriguez eventually gets out of the way, throw goes to Jeter, Young slides in under the tag.
Playing the Jays is so much fun.
ReplyDeleteWho aren't the Blue Jays annrs impressed with?
ReplyDeleteGee, too bad NESN already handed out a corporate-sponsored "Double play of the week" on a routine 5-4-3 early in the game. On Wednesday, no less.
ReplyDelete'Cause that was a pretty impressive play by Scutaro just now.
Thanks, Edward. I never could have gotten all that detail! It all happened so fast that I was just stunned to see the end result.
ReplyDeleteRemember I never heard the Jays anncrs so now I see why you all moan and groan a bit.
ReplyDeleteGreat description, EL, thanks.
ReplyDeleteNow 6-2.
ReplyDeleteAmy beats Castig with the 6-2!
ReplyDeleteNothing like live TV, I guess.
ReplyDeleteThe water is Muddy!!!
ReplyDeleteDirty water!
ReplyDeleteDon't drink the water! It is double-digit dirty!
ReplyDeleteRoll on, Rangers!
ReplyDeleteMFY - 000 101
ReplyDeleteTEX - 100 230
Guess I will keep watching the Yankees. Wish I could have seen more of the Sox game. Nate has to start going to sleep earlier!
ReplyDeleteDamn, grounds rule double, and the score is 6-3 with two on, one out.
ReplyDeleteCome on, Rangers.
ReplyDeleteDamn, why are they leaving this pitcher in?? 6-4 now. Idiots.
ReplyDeleteOk, signing off. Will just have to watch the rest of this one alone.
ReplyDeleteMaybe HR *are* rally killers. I see the MFY got a run in the 8th to make it TEX 6-5, but it was only a solo dong from Thames. No on-going drama with men on base.
ReplyDeleteDear Rangers
ReplyDeletePlease do not blow this
Thank you,
RSN
damn, 2 men out, no outs for freaking Stankies. C'mon Rangers, grow a pair
ReplyDeleteAnother trademark CI BS single.
ReplyDeleteRangers forgot to kill this rally dead.
ReplyDeleteAre the goddamn fucking Rangers gonna roll over for us, too?
ReplyDeleteShit - Freaking Rangers coughing it up.
ReplyDeleteBetter do the same for us is all I got to say.
"A-Rod whiffs for the 3rd time tnight". Almost as nice as hearing "Fruitbat blowing it"
ReplyDeleteNot quite, but close
1 out TRIPLE OFF FRUITBAT!!
ReplyDelete0 out TRIPLE, sorry, but now a short fly to RF, no chance to tag
ReplyDelete0 out TRIPLE, sorry, but now a short fly to RF, no chance to tag
ReplyDeleteHamilton, you asshole: 1-3. 2 outs.
ReplyDeletecome on, the mfy want to blow it, come on.
ReplyDeletedamn, just.....damn
ReplyDeleteokay, vlad, up to you.
ReplyDeletefuck the rangers.
ReplyDeleteshit, just.....shit
ReplyDeleteHey look, a squandered triple. *Sigh*
ReplyDeleteWTF!?
ReplyDeleteTying run at 3rd with no outs and you can't get that run home? Pathetic
Golden opportunity. Tying run on 3rd, NO fucking outs. Jesus.
ReplyDeleteOh well, we'll just keep winning. And We'll stick it to those fuckers on Friday.
'Night ....
hello from the lake, featuring wifi and 3g cell reception! just have to say two things:
ReplyDeletefuck texas.
also fuck f-rod
dick.
Mrs.GotRibe No worries. I'm new here and rarely not obtuse. :)
ReplyDeleteSorry I couldn't be here for the drubbing tonight ;)
I had a dog emergency; and doggies come first. He's a 13 year old Golden Retriever, the nicest dog in the world - and he's sick. I think it's something he ate.
The owner is back in town and taking care of it. Waiting for news...
Hell in real time for a dog sitter.
That is also a dog owner's nightmare - being away and your dog gets sick! Especially an old dog. I'm glad the people are back, I hope the pup is ok.
ReplyDeleteThanks L,
ReplyDeleteThe Buddy's family was out of communication range so they didn't know, so the hell was all mine (and the dog's), until they arrived to pick him up at 7:07.
