Blue Jays - 000 000 000 - 0 6 0Buchholz (6-5-0-3-7, 97) extended his scoreless inning streak to a career-best 20, though he had to wiggle out of a few jams against the Jays. Toronto left two men on base in the first, second, and sixth innings.
Red Sox - 000 030 02x - 5 7 0
Buchholz lowered his AL-leading ERA to 2.26. He has not allowed an earned run in 23.2 innings.
Marcum (7-4-3-0-6, 91) had set down the first 12 Boston batters before David Ortiz opened the fifth with a triple -- to left-center! Adrian Beltre doubled and it was 1-0. After two were outs, Bill Hall launched a rocket over everything in left. In the seventh, Ryan Kalish doubled and Marco Scutaro walked. They both scored as Victor Martinez and Ortiz had RBI singles.
After Daniel Bard pitched the seventh, Felix Doubront took the final two innings, allowing only two baserunners (a one-out single in the eighth and a HBP with two outs in the ninth).
The Yankees beat the Mariners 10-0 and the Rays beat the A's 3-2. New York holds its one-game lead over Tampa Bay, with Boston 6.5 GB. The Red Sox are 5.5 GB the Rays in the wild card race.
4:05 PM: The tarp is back on the infield, with Blue Jays batting in the top of the third, two outs, a runner on first, and a 1-1 count on Adam Lind.
3:19 PM: First pitch! The start of the game was delayed 1:44 by rain.

PA, yesterday on Twitter:
"Fenway needs trap doors with sharks below for sections who try and start the wave in the 11th inning of a 4-4 game. Hungry sharks"
let's go all fucking shark week on these shithawks today!
Nice idea!
PA, 12:57 PM: "The rain has returned and the tarp is down. The game will not start on time."
tarp still on at 1:30
SEA - 000 0
MFY - 000
Accuweather for Boston does not look promising.
Also, happy birthday to Yaz today!
Kearns dong. NY 1-0.
Fuck, kearns dong.
1-0 MFY, ridiculous music blaring at le toilette.
Anyone else besides Luke French and Charlie English (1932-37) on the All-Language Team?
mariners have a guy thrown out at the plate, with dumbo holding the ball in his right hand and tagging the runner with his empty glove.
obviously, that is not an out. should be 1-1.
Making pizza, I missed the play but heard the Ms announcers bitching about it.
Reeeeeally hoping for NESN this week and not these chumps.
Anyway how was the clean up today?
Cano GS. NY 5-0.
L did most of the clean-up. She likes having a dishwasher.
heavy rain at the toilet.
Lowrie joins the Fuck Yeah gif brigade!
Dishwasher is key, especially for parties.
Winston apologizes for the floor, he was just trying to tell you that the red sox won.
and with some sort of song ....
delay in NY - yaay!
so what game are they going to go to now?
Heidi Watney, NESN, on Twitter, 10 minutes ago: "Still in a rain delay here at Fenway. They are going to try and play at some point."
oooo, battle of playoff contenders - thanx rogers!
i just looove watching the orioles.
Also check out Victor rubbing Beltre's head and running away with Beltre chasing him out of the frame!
First pitch at 3:15 ET
LOVE the Lowrie song/gif
That is freaking hilarious. The song sounds like it should have come from Team America or something :)
3:15. If I hurry, I can finish mowing.....
Later
That is hilarious! You can see Beltre screaming as Victor is rubbing his head.
Here we go! Martinez/Tabler - woooooooo hooooooo!
Time to crack open a beer to deal with this shit.
I liked this rain delay, I didn't miss the game while at breakfast!
Buck reiterating the stats they just mentioned about HH 2 minutes ago. ERA, batting avg, etc.
I'm watching but I'm too tired to thread. So nice to be home watching the game instead of at work!
Jays TV showing HH's stats for the last 5 starts - headline:
"Pass the butter"
?????
All-language team! Gotta think on that one.
jays strand a pair
i saw that too. we have sox radio on, so who the hell knows what that was?
They also said that he pitched well against teams as high caliber as "the blue jays, the yankees, and the angels"
really don't think the BJs belong in that category.
i need to mute this.
teams as high caliber as "the blue jays, the yankees, and the angels"
Ha ha ha, what a riot.
Mute for sure. We have Sox radio on the netbook.
outside corner? sure didn't look like it.
nooooo! i have a good system going, because i get WEEI on my iphone, which i can plug into the speakers under the TV.
but the iphone mlb audio isn't working right now.
Add to All-Language Team: Dutch Leonard
oh, works now.
unfortunately victor just fouled one off in this delayed weei feed.
oh well.
I found Greek George, but that's a nickname.
And while I was looking, I found a great one for the food team: Pretzels Getzien.
would be great if tomorrow's game is rained out, since i'm missing it.
Dutch was his real name? Great find!
there's the fourth time i've heard opponent BA vs. HH from buck today.
OB says molina lines a single to right, then says it was not hit very hard. oy. he was right the second time, just a poky little grounder.
pls be honest, dave.
Esteban German! And 2 other players named German listed in B-Ref.
jays strand another pair
There are lots of Germans
Oops sorry L. I didn't see your post.
Douglas Swiss?
We thought of Swiss, but it's not a language, is it? It's a nationality, but Swiss people speak either German or French.
Great minds think alike, as they say
I don't know, I'm culturally stupid like that.
What language is yodeling considered then?
Charlie Malay (1905) and Joe Malay (1933-1935)
Malay is the official language of Brunai.
I wonder if the all-language team hits a lot of fouls.
Stengelese?
Malay, nice one!!! Impressive.
Yodeling :)
Pretzel, I like it.
In looking up official languages, I found this. The official language of Luxermbourg?
Luxermbourgish
Go figure!
Luxemburg has its own language?! "I did not know that."
Charles Russian was a minor leaguer.
Re Luxembourg
Maybe not an official language. It has administrative languages of:
Luxermbourgish (national) French
German
What are administrative languages?
Russian, very good. You're on a roll!
Administrative language? No idear. Gonna look it up.
Castig just gave me one for my tradesmen team, Red Barber! Telling a well-known story about Vin Scully.
Oh shit, Victor's thumb.
victor hit on left hand by bat swing. jesus.
good thing kevin cash is making rehab starts!!!!
Well, why not send V-Mart back to the DL? That seems to be the MO
First name I had thought of at the beginning of the All-Language team was Esteban German. Fail.
Big rains falling now.
raining
Administrative language:
Wiki redirects to Official language:
An official language is a language that is given a special legal status in a particular country, state, or other jurisdiction. Typically a nation's official language will be the one used in that nation's courts, parliament and administration.[1] However, official status can also be used to give a language (often indigenous) a legal status, even if that language is not widely spoken. For example, in New Zealand the Māori language has official status under the Māori Language Act even though it is spoken by less than five percent of the New Zealand population.[2] Non-national or supra-national organizations such as the United Nations and the European Union may also have official languages.

Still no idea what Luxemburgish is.
There are a couple of guys nicknamed The Mad Russian.
And, of course, The Greek Goddess of Walks.
But I don't know the rules for the All whatever teams, do nicknames count?
You mean The Mad Hungarian?
No nicknames.
Looking at it again, I think it is
Luxermbourgish French.
It is listed as:
Luxermbourgish (national) French
tarp back out at 4:05.
Staats and Kennedy! The great announcing brigade continues!
Well thanks L, that clears it up!!
Rain delay, time to do some laundry.
And maybe unpack a box or two. I've still got stuff boxed up from the upstairs renovation.
Well, why not send V-Mart back to the DL? That seems to be the MO
Yeah, and Dusty Brown can come in and since he hasn't warmed up properly, he would hit HH in the ankle with a throwback, sending him to the DL, and on his way off the field HH would step on Lowell's foot, driving his spike through a toe and sending him to the DL.
That would fit right in with this season so far
Greek Goddess?
hopefully the delay will break up marcum's perfect game.
Nicknames do count (according to me, and I make the rules ;) ) for some "all" teams - all animals (Goose Gossage, Catfish Hunter), for example.
But Allan made up this one, so he makes the rules.
But the nicknames have to be what the player was known by, like Babe Ruth or Goose Gossage - something known enough to be listed on B-Ref.
Greek Goddess - whoever that is! - doesn't count. :)
I forgot today's DL News:
Carlos Delgado, sore left hip and lower back.
Funny how rain delays are always treated as if they're the first ones. Analysis is needed to explain the phenomenon of the rain delay.
lol...Greed goddess? What kind of unspoken message am I sending there?
I read Allan's post questioning Greek Goddess and couldn't figure out what he was questioning. I know he read Moneyball, I know he knows Youk's nickname. I had to look at it for a few seconds before it hit me
Tim: Paw at Buffalo this weekend. 2nd game of a DH yesterday was rained out, so they are playing two today. Was trying to find out who is starting tomorrow.
ProJo: "Okajima said he will see game action again on Monday night against the Bisons, and had no time frame for a return to Boston."
Must be because Yook is so soft and girly!
After this season I'm not sure anyone in our pen except Bard should have "a timeframe for a return to Boston"
(That was for you, Amy) ;>
5:05 re-start?
SEA - 000 000 000 - 0 6 3
MFY - 000 143 11x - 10 10 1
FKR - 001

If this game resumes won't it be Wakefield/Tallet on the mound?
HALL!
HH still out there.
perfect game for marcum!!! 20 outs to go!!!
Jinx harder, Allan.

Thank you!
PAPI TRIPLE!!!!!!!!
TO LCF!!!!!!!!!!!
Holy cow a Big Papi triple!!!!
Papi Triple!
All right, here we go!
1-0!
Runs are good.
Jinx worked!
Btw - that HAS too be one of very few triples in Papi's career
triple #15
15 career triples, 1 per year for the last 3 years.
he had 3 in 2004.
OK, one of 14 to be exact. Wait, I guess it's 15 now.
Shucks, I did it myself....yuck yuck
FKR 1 - OAK 1 (6th)
Hallelujah!!!!
THERE WE GO!
KINGDOM HALL!!!!!!!!!
Hall now 3 for 4 vs Marcum, with 3 dongs!
2B
3B
HR
in this inning. we need a single.
Hall Pass!
I like this....
Hall Pass, I like it :)
doubront up
jays strand a pair (yet again)
mmmmm.....Dozed off a bit after the hall homer, looks like Clay did a nice job of recuping after 2 hits to start their half-inning
i think castig said bard is coming in
Running on E here - about 2 1/2 hours of sleep, and that was on a tent floor with no pad because some idiot forgot to take it to the camp-out with him.
Uh, I guess that was me :(
20 pitches for bard in the 7th.
atchison was up
Just had a great 1.5 hour rain nap.
Nice to wake up to a lead. Not so nice to wake up to the news about Okajima pitching tmrw in Buffalo. Like I said, we should head to the OF seats for that, try to get some HR balls.
Naps, what a concept. Wish I could do that.
bot warming for the 9th
FKR win 3-2
Napping - notsomething I get to do often but I'm definitely in and out of nap zone today. As mentioned earlier - VERY little sleep last night. Much like our hosts, I would presume. I was at a local version of wmtc part, a bbq bash at a campground right at the foot of Pilot Mountain. Beautiful. And I actually grew a pair and played with some of my buddies in the band at the late night acoustic jam around the fire. (Guitar, that is) In front of total strangers even. They've been after me to do more than just jam with them in the practice garage....
FKR 3 - OAK 2. Useless.
Useless A's - damn
cleanup on aisle 2!
V-Mart!
bot sits down? no save chance, i guess. atchison maybe, he has been up a few times
amy would've liked that shot of pap on rogers, pickin his nose. not at all getting into this game.
i think he pitched 1 or 2 yesterday, no?
good times flo!!!
I see "run(s)"!!
Oppi-Papi strikes again!
i think he pitched 1 or 2 yesterday, no?
2.1 IP on Friday.
two nights ago, rogers showed overbay at the dugout railing, blowing snot out of one nostril. it was like a hose! totally disgusting.
classy gent. that ooooooooverbay fellow.
felix for 2!
tito wisely saving the pen to back up lackey tomorrow.
Remind me, why do you all want the Rays to lose? I want them to win. I'd much rather see them win the division than NYY.
rays need to lose for us to get the wild card.
It's not an either/or. We want them both to lose.
The water is Muddy!!!
Water.
Don't drink the water!
That shit is DIRTY!!!!!
of course, if nyy falls off and starts losing like crazy, then the rays can be in first and we can chase the mfy for the wc. either way. but i think the rays slumping is more likely than the yankees doing so.
Dirty!
Dirty as the water in the makeshift pool at the bottom of the 60 ft. slip and slide at the cookout yesterday!
And let me tell ya, as someone who helped clean up this morning, that was some dirty-ass water!
i think the rays slumping is more likely than the yankees doing so.
Pains me to say so, but that's probably true.
Damn I hate the Yankees
And since rooting for either the MFYs or FKRs has no bearing on the standings, why sacrifice your dignity?
oh fuck you, red sox.
i'm sick of getting shit ads from them emailed to me, so the bottom of the one they just sent, it sez:
"You received this message because you registered to receive commercial e-mail messages from redsox.com.
If you no longer wish to receive commercial e-mail messages from redsox.com, please unsubscribe"
So I click unsubscribe, because I no longer want to receive commercial email messages, and it takes me to a page to unsubscribe me from the red sox NEWSLETTER. i enjoyed the newsletter, just not the bombardment of spam email from them. guess i have to put up with that shit in order to get the newsletter. oh well, fuck em. it didnt really provide any useful info.
****
a-rod DLed. cool.
BBQ sounds nice, by the way.
(Our floor was filthy today. Hours of rain and 30 people and 7 dogs going in and out ....)
I'd much rather see them win the division than NYY.
Well, yes.
yeah, sounds like a hoot, sosock.
