Red Sox - 021 100 032 - 9 10 1David Ortiz's three-run homer gave the Red Sox the lead in the eighth inning and RBI from Ryan Kalish and Josh Reddick added some insurance in the ninth.
Mariners - 101 020 101 - 6 12 0
Jed Lowrie hit two home runs -- a two-run shot in the second and a solo blast to begin the fourth. Adrian Beltre singled twice and doubled and Victor Martinez had two singles. His second hit came after two blown calls by home plate umpire Kerwin Danley*. Brandon League should have struck Martinez out to end the eighth inning with Seattle up 5-4, but strikes 2 and 3 were instead balls 2 and 3 -- and Martinez then blooped a hit to left. Beltre smoked a single to left and Flo cranked a 1-0 pitch to deep right-center for his 30th dong of the year.
* - Danley and 3B ump CB Bucknor screwed Matsuzaka (6-8-5-4-3, 105) on several pitches in the fifth and sixth innings, though those shitty calls did not lead to any additional runs. ... 2B ump Dana DeMuth botched a call in the fifth, calling Chone Figgins out on a steal attempt when he had beaten the throw. The score was 4-4 and Dice's next pitch was hammered for a double. ... And I have no doubt Doug Eddings blew a few calls at 1B, but nothing springs immediately to mind.
It was Ortiz's sixth season with 30+ homers for the Sox, tying Manny Ramirez for second place in franchise history. Ted Williams tops the list with eight seasons.
Ichiro Suzuki singled twice, doubled, walked, stole two bases, drove in one run, and scored four of the Mariners' six runs. Figgins singled four times and Franklin Gutierrez had three hits, including two doubles.
The Yankees beat the Rays 8-7 in 10 innings to re-take first place in the East. ... Boston is now 7 GB in the East and 6.5 GB Tampa Bay in the WC. They have shaved two games off the WC standings in three days.
Jason Varitek makes his first start since June 30. ... Matsuzaka celebrated his 30th birthday yesterday.Scutaro, 2B

Up top: Yankees/Rays (Nova/Garza), 7 PM
1935 - The Cubs beat the Dodgers 18-14 for their 11th straight win. The game also ends Chicago's string of 10 straight games without using a relief pitcher.
1990 - Ken Griffey, Sr. and Ken Griffey, Jr. hit back-to-back home runs in the top of the first inning of a 7-5 loss to the Angels. They were the first father/son to play on the same team. Tim Raines Sr. and Tim Raines Jr. were both in the Orioles' starting lineup for two games in October 2001.
1998 - The Royals score in all eight of their innings at bat -- 113 113 24x -- as they rout Oakland 16-6. .. And in Detroit: White Sox 17, Tigers 16 (12).

...Esteban German.
I thought we did this in his last start against us -- but he has never pitched against us. Must have simply been during a Seattle series.
It does sound familiar. I remember being all pleased with myself for thinking of German. Maybe we were just gabbing off the thread. We do that sometimes! :)

Tentative 2011 schedule.
JoS3 in Toronto?
May 10-11 (Tue/Wed)
September 5-8 (M-T-W-T)
September games in toronto? yay!
FSN Seattle? Fuck you!
Finally the Cubs get to come to Fenway, they have never been there in interleague play before.
I don't see that schedule being accurate, unless we're sacrificing playing the AL West for purposes of interleague.
There's no games after LAA after May 5!
Only one trip to Oakland and a stupid minny-seattle trip which I don't see being realistic.
Probably a solid template though.
(I didn't read any comments on the thread to see if this was discussed at all)

Jays get Philly at home again. Gonna try for the non-opening night sellout for a second year again I see.
Finally Varitek is back, even if he still can't throw out runners.
there goes the no-walker.

no more Mariners runs.

OPPI!
FUCK SAKES. FUCK YOU BOGAR.

It should have been done 60 games ago
bogie needs a mulligan.
Mono x2!
erased a baserunner AND made an out.
fuck you bogar.
suffering thru the mariners feed. jay buhner joined the booth. good fuckin lord, but he's dumb.
whatever, beltre was clogging them basepaths anyways.
i muted an inning and a half ago.
CI has his first multi-hit game since Aug.21 and it took him 10 innings to do it...back up the Brinks truck...
mfy get a run in the 10th.
i will mute as soon as laura goes to bed. she needs the audio as she is computing. my ears are bleeding.
good.
we haven't had a fruitbat blown save in oh...3 days, time to get that updated.
psft, some people.
just NO consideration.
tim - 76 will join sox in progress once ny/tb is done. should be nesn.
Cactus can juggle?
good, wonder if that will carry over to the HD feed.
this lack of clarity is burning my eyes.
MUTED!!!!!!!!!!!
fuckers aren't even calling the gane. just making nonsense, moronic remarks and laughing like schoolgirls.
mine was muted before the game started when they were doing the "keys to the game" or whatever.
key #1 was that dice-k needs to pitch faster.
that was the first, and last, straw for me.
Mine was already muted, as usual.
yeah, numerous "funny" "quips" about how slow he works and how many pitches he throws.
was watching the ny/tb game before this started and it was the rays feed.
they had one of those text polls. which do you like better: a slugfest or a "pitchers dual"?
L thought it was a deliberate pun. i said no way. (gotta get a screen shot!)
Yanks win :(

AL East flip-flop.

dumbo ph dong in 10th.
I've been enjoying the Yanks/Rays series, even though I hate both teams.
I wish the post season was fashioning Red Sox.
Doesn't help the sox situation.
fuckin rogers ASSHOLES have fsn on 76, too!
cleanup on aisle 3. blue light singular.
nice grab, lopez.
Is that an error? Those idiots never said.
lol, was about to post a similar comment.
yeah they do that with the mariners feed.
seemed very playable, but prob a hit.
at least its in HD.
so much crisper. mmm.
i should go down to my office and get nesn onmy computer
enough of this. sleep time for me. day 2 tomorrow!
it was quite odd this morning to wake up to a postgame alert email and not actually know the score of the game before opening it. enjoyable though, gives me something to look forward to before the 4 hours of suck.
alright, all set up down in the cave.
wow - cactus gets figgins at 3B!!
OUT
absolutely stupid decision by figgy (or the bench) to run
JED DOES IT AGAIN!!!!!!!!
The force is strong with this one!
LIGHTSABER!

michael saunders - canadian.
hmmmm, why not go to third on that?
bastards trying to make sure I don't get to bed at a reasonable time. bah.
4 pitches and dice in a serious hole
rich hill up
run of the ancient Mariner.
Got away with one there.
kalish trying out for the circus
safe?
He's gonna break a rib out there or something.
bowden up too
F U CB!
jesus fuckin christ -- two blatant blown calls.
bucknor is one of the fuckin worst umps in the game. plus THAT is how umps can throw games. give hitters extra chances and hope the next guy can cash in. not fool proof, but if you do it enough ... reading about the crooked nba refs makes me think this is very possible.
and dice gets fucked on an obvious strike 3.
ichiro single -- i'm assuming he will steal second in a minute
first, jeemer in
Time to shut this pseudo-rally down.
K - whew!
I'm gonna miss Oki when he's gone. He was friggin amazing for two years.
yeah -- i feel like he has been gone for awhile.
Should have left him in.
atchison up now
and he should be in very soon.
or next inning, i guess.
top o the order for the sox
Needs to go deep here.
since lowrie's 2nd dong, 14 sox retired in a row.
c'mon victor.
SHOWING SOME SIGNS OF LIFE FOR ONCE!!!
victor gets two gift calls on two inside strikes -- count 3-1 -- bloops a hit to short left.
bard and attell up
HIT!
DO IT AGAIN NOW.
let it flo.
Thankfully, he didn't weakly ground the first pitch to the right side.
YES!!
Papi of yore! fuck YEAH!
GOOD FUCKIN TIMES
QUADRANGULAR
TIZZLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yay.
FUCK YEAH!
CALLED IT!
QUAD!!! WHOLY YESS!!! NUMBER 30!
Papi of yore!
Papi of four!
All with 2 outs.
6 seasons with 30+ dongs
tied with manny at 6 seasons
only tsw has more - 8
shut em down, bard.
Stock phrases I hate:
"He quickly goes 0-2."
"The tying run is at the plate."
"The [***] have a man in scoring position."
how about: "and just like that ..."?
--- HA don just said it!!!
Football is worse. The announcers are constantly talking about how "he is moving the football down the football field" No shit. What, is he carrying a volleyball across the golf course?
"There's a strike."
"no doubles defense" makes me wanna strangle a puppy.
Straight gas homey.
insurance pls
no reason to squeeze here, right? Esp. with a lefty?
SPEED!!!!!!!!!!!! RUN!!!
Ka-lish-ious
we heart brandon league.
mmmmm......reddick-alous
You guys are up late. Only 11:15 for me.
with a 4-run lead -- i'm okay if itchy is on.
Is Pap capable of making any outs?
jesus, pap, nail it down.
might not hurt to make sure atchison has his glove handy.
NICE. Great game.
The water is Muddy!!!
And the deer ain't dead.
East: 7 GB MFY
WC: 6.5 GB FKR
A win tomorrow could make things somewhat interesting ...
Strike 4.
Woooooo. Don't even touch that water.
Nice. I may be on the bus anymore, but the motor is still running :)
