Red Sox - 000 101 210 - 5 10 0Buchholz (7-4-1-3-6, 109) bounced back from his one-inning debacle last Friday in Oakland and the Red Sox swept three games from the Mariners with relative ease. As the Yankees and Rays were playing each other on the same nights, Boston gained ground on someone every single night.
Mariners - 100 000 000 - 1 6 1
Adrian Beltre's dong in the fourth tied the game at 1-1 -- and NESN had some good shots of Victor Martinez and Marco Scutaro attacking AB's bald head (with ice!) in the dugout. David Ortiz doubled and scored in the sixth on Chone Figgins's infield error. Facing the Seattle pen in the seventh, Scutaro singled, Ryan Kalish doubled, and Martinez doubled them both home. With two outs in the eighth, Scutaro walked and scored on Kalish's first career triple.
The Rays beat the Yankees 4-3. Dan Johnson drove in all four of Tampa's runs with two two-run home runs.
Boston is 6.5 GB the Rays in the East. The Red Sox are 6 GB New York in the WC -- and 7 of their remaining 16 games are against the Yankees (who have lost 8 of their last 10 games).

I was shocked to not to see that in the post. I remembered the score and the year!
There was also a similar NYY rout in reverse in 1999. We were in Detroit or Chicago and saw it on the scoreboard.
i thought this game was at 3:30 for some reason. got home from my exam all geared up to watch it and now i have to wait :(
ReplyDeleteoh well, got a birdie ready to go in the oven along with some leeks.
So witty, PA.
ReplyDelete"The Mariners will present the Japanese ambassador to the United States, Ichiro Fujisaki, with a framed jersey today before the game and he will address the crowd. He is in Seattle to commemorate the visit of Japan's crown prince and princess (now the current emperor and empress) 50 years ago.
Presumably the Red Sox will try and negotiate the return of Daisuke Matsuzaka back to Japan with Mr. Fujisaki at some point during the ceremony"
Fuck off, bud.
3:30 -- if you are in Seattle!

ReplyDeleteThis is awesome, NESN. Screen frozen on starting lineup.
ReplyDeleteI changed it. Now the channel is black.
ReplyDeleteAt the start of a game, Remy is always YELLING his commentary, then he calms down.
ReplyDeleteDoes your EI work?
ReplyDeleteNone of the sports channels are coming through for me.
i have nesn on 471
ReplyDeleteichiro: wee willie keeler approves, but you are out!
ReplyDeletei got the sound but no picture.
ReplyDeletetrying to reboot the receiver now.
still no picture, great.
ReplyDeleteyou are welcome to come by and watch.
ReplyDeleteI'm getting the game on EI. One of the *many* problems with Comcast is that they don't make any of their EI channels high def. Go figure.
ReplyDeleteDongyan.
ReplyDeleteTim, is the exam over or do you still have another day?
ReplyDeleteouch - whatta meatball.
ReplyDeletethird and final day tomorrow! first two days went alright i guess...i dunno what to think. i try not to think about it.
ReplyDeleteon the phone with rogers, no picture on EI channels - not even the ones that don't have a game on and show the schedule. i get audio on all of them...
on the bright side i found some HD EI channels while looking for an alt. feed...thought they all disappeared for football season. too bad this game isn't on them!
How nice of the Mariners to play a game on East Coast time!
ReplyDeleteMy licensure exam was over two days. I called my husband after day one crying that I knew I had failed it. After it was over, a colleague reminded me that 70% is passing and when was the last time you felt good about a 70% on a test. They purposely make some of the questions impossible.
ReplyDeleteback now. no idea if the rogers lady fixed it or what.
ReplyDeletewhat is this shit? 1-0.
yeah, these multi day exams you can't get all worked up over the first or second day - just need to forget about it and push through.
ReplyDeleteso i'm guessing you did hear good news about the licensure exam?
as for the marking of this one, i don't even wanna get into it. its fucked. they take 3 months to mark the thing because of how they play with the marking scheme in order to pass a certain amount of people (usually ~70%)
The bar exam was also over two days. I was ready to die after Day One. I cannot imagine stretching that stress over three days. Hope it is over fast, Tim.
ReplyDeleteMeanwhile....back at the game.
ReplyDeleteDAMN.
yeah, if you think you did shitty n day 1, there must be a lot of pressure the next day.
ReplyDeletelooked like hh swiped the bag with his toe. could have been the first of ??? blown calls tonight.
All right!
ReplyDeleteFUCK YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteNIIIICE.
ReplyDeleteNot nice.
ReplyDeleteI agree, Allan. Isn't touching the side of the base sufficient?
ReplyDeleteBut HH has not been as sharp the last two starts.
stress? what's that?
ReplyDeletei'm like the manny ramirez of this exam.
getting all ready to do the mummy tomorrow at 1pm after i hit my walkoff dong.
ReplyDeleteit would be -- he'd be touching the base! -- but none of the replays were at a conclusive angle.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the settle HH.
ReplyDeleteLOL, Tim! Are you really that relaxed?
ReplyDeleteThe Manny of the exam, ha. No pressure.
ReplyDeleteAmy, I remember my husband taking the Bar exam. I went with him (probably a bad idea). It was at a hotel and he remembers two kitchen workers getting in a fight (right beside their conference room) during day one. He also remembers having to study in the bathtub between day one and two because I wanted to watch TV. Was I really that selfish?
Yes, I passed. Three months?? That's a long wait.
botc high!
ReplyDeleteits all cases as opposed to purely technical stuff, so you can't really dump information. i've spent the past month basically figuring out how to write the cases and learning the technical stuff, so now its just being able to deal with whatever they throw at you. can't really do anything about it and studying/stressing out about it won't help the cause, and once its over its over...as long as i do the best i can do during the exam, thats all i can do, so may as well not dwell on whatever happened and just look forward to the next day and results release and see if my best was good enough.
ReplyDeletei'm like the manny ramirez of this exam.
ReplyDeleteyou're going to murder your professor? cuz manny killed someone -- that's why everyone hates him, right?
Great attitude Tim. That will work well in life.
ReplyDeleteI stopped by a (new to me) Mennonite farm on my way home from work. THIS IS THE BEST CORN I"VE HAD ALL SEASON. Wow, really good.
MrsG, I was just as bad when Harvey took the bar. (He was more considerate when I took it!)
ReplyDeleteI waited three and half months to get the bar results. And I took it twice...once for MA, once for CT. Never again!
Tim, how did you end up so sane!??
ReplyDeleteAnother throw out!
ReplyDeletekeep runnin', figgy, we like it.
ReplyDeleteTim, how did you end up so sane!??
ReplyDeletedrugs?
(no not really)
well, hopefully i'm not one of those people that suppresses all emotions for like 35 years, then goes out and kills a bunch of people or rapes kids while pouring sugar in old ladies' gas tanks or something.
ReplyDeletethat would suck.

ReplyDeleteif NY beats TB
East: 7 GB NY
WC: 5.5 GB TB
if TB beats NY
East 6.5 GB TB

(i hope my math is correct)
that would suck.
ReplyDeleteWell said.
Yes, Tim. That would definitely suck.
ReplyDeleteLAUNCHED!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThe Belter!!!!!
ReplyDeleteBELTED!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteWell, Tim can correct your math if you are wrong. He is almost a licensed CPA Canada style. (I forget what the title is there.)
ReplyDeleteI just got back from Lake George, NY. Had some pretty good corn up there. And saw a monster storm come off the lake as fast as I have ever seen it, complete with tons of hail. But over in 15 minutes.
ReplyDeleteI love the BELTER.
ReplyDeleteZen, Lake George, NY? We spent the longest 24 hours of 2009 there last December. I hope it is better there in September.

scutaro comes back and dumps ice on beltre's head - another violent lunge by AB.
yeah, mennonites have great corn. so do christians.
ReplyDeletewhy hasn't someone done a full-length feature on the beltre head-rubbing antics?
ReplyDeletealright, dinner time. see ya lator!
ReplyDeleteyeah, mennonites have great corn. so do christians.
ReplyDeleteHuh?
beltre always looks pissed, but who knows?
I saw part of a smile on Beltre's face.
Lake George is great. I'm from near there and have always gone to my Dad's place there on weekends/summers growing up and family get togethers now.
ReplyDeleteYou had a bad day there because of weather?
Zen, we went there when it was about -32 degrees outside (well, single digits anyway) and there was NOTHING open. We ended up eating dinner at a chain Italian restaurant, Olive Garden, which we could have gone to at home. There was no night life, and during the day there was nothing to do. We left and had lunch in Saratoga and went home.
ReplyDeleteI have a feeling it is much prettier there and livelier in the summer, but I would never go back in the winter.
MFY - 100
ReplyDeleteFKR - 00
Yeah, there's no real reason to go there unless you're doing winter sports or something. The lake itself is the attraction, not any food or night life around it. LG Village is as cheesy a tourist spot as you'll find.
ReplyDeletetizzolator.
ReplyDeleteOK, I guess then our reaction was not just due to the bitter cold! That was our take on the place---lots of tackiness. But it was all closed anyway. I do know people who have been there in the summer and love it. But I am more a shore/beach person so am not likely to return there anyway.
ReplyDeleteWhy do I laugh whenever I see Papi running?
ReplyDeleteYES!!!
ReplyDeletethanks choner!
ReplyDeleteWas he always a second baseman?
ReplyDeleteNever mind. Don just said...
ReplyDeleteThat's pretty, Nava!
ReplyDeletechone has also sucked at 3B.
ReplyDeletetime for lars to crank one
ReplyDeletethere's a couple mennonite corn farms near me, as well as some christian ones - and they all have delicious corn.
ReplyDeleteunless i'm just religiously ignorant here or something. do mennonites = christians?
...
I think Mennonites are Christians, just a particular sect. Like the Amish, I believe, right?
ReplyDeleteDoes anyone else say "Chone" in their head (or out loud) instead of Shawn? Or is it just in our household?
ReplyDeleteah, perfect.
ReplyDeletethis is what we needed - another rookie slam.
i have called him chone (as in bone or alone) for many years
ReplyDeleteI also think CHONE.
ReplyDeleteYes, Mennonites = Christians.
ReplyDeleteWhew, I thought I was losing it on the humor front. I usually get Tim's humor, but not this time. I'm glad there was no humor intended.
Is there some group that spells Sean/Shawn that way, or were his parents just... creative?
ReplyDeleteDamn. Wasted that opportunity. At least we got the one run.
ReplyDeleteyeah, the mennonites are similar to the amish.
ReplyDeletethere's horse parking spots in the grocery store and home depot near us for their preferred mode of transport.
of course, there's also the ones that wear the bonnets and use their blackberries.
yup definitely is bone chone to me.
ReplyDeletei guess if he hits a home run, it'd be a choner.
I usually get Tim's humor, but not this time. I'm glad there was no humor intended.
ReplyDeleteNope, just pure stupidity!

ReplyDeletewow, i totally thought there were 0 outs there.
ReplyDeleteits these little surprises that make life nice :)
I thought Rowland-Smith is a starter?

ReplyDeletefeels like a thursday night. i guess since i'll be done tomorrow. which reminds me, need to figure out what will be on tomorrow's exam.
ReplyDeleteHow do you figure that out now?
ReplyDeleteHeavy Mennonite population here. Horse and buggy lanes on the roads, hitching stations at grocery stores, lots of great farm stands, etc. What gets me are the Old Orders with no cars, no electricity, etc., but the state of the art farm equipment going out in the fields.
ReplyDeleterays have a runner at 3rd and 1 out, bot 5th

KALISH!!!!
ReplyDeleteUh oh. Pen in.
ReplyDeleteAhem.
ReplyDeleteKalish with the RBI triple.
ReplyDeleteSorry, I'm a little late and distracted. I'm looking at websites to find a non-traditional photographer for my son's senior pictures. He is against anything established and mainstream and would prefer no pictures. I've got to take advantage of his current willingness to do it for me.
winston doesn't deserve a pic in the sacred gamethread, until he's better behaved.
ReplyDeletei keep telling him that, but he looks at me confused at the mention of gamethread.
I know a non-traditional photographer in VT, but not in VA.
ReplyDeletethat's cool, MGT - the traditional grad photos suck anyway. as do the "cool" photos done by traditional photographers - i.e. the exact same photo, just CRAZEEE DIAGONALLY!!!!! so weak.
ReplyDeletei've got a friend that does good photos. does your son want to make a trip up to the good old ca-of-nada?
ReplyDeletebeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeautiful!
ReplyDeletemy boss at work is also a photog.
ReplyDeleteHe would love to make a trip to Canada, especially if there is a concert attached to it.
ReplyDeleteHe says no cheesy pictures. No pictures of him with his guitar...or near a car...or beside a tree. I doubt that he will even wear any Red Sox gear.
I am proud of his independence, even if he needs to tone it down sometimes.
Quick game, huh?
hmm, does he like ska? we can work something out in mid october.
ReplyDeleteyeah, weird to be in the 9th at this hour. guess its partially the early start time, but also has been under 3 hours.
ReplyDeletestarted at 6:41, so we are at 2:34 right now

I forgot about your roots in Burlington, Allan. It is a place where an unusual photographer would end up.
ReplyDeletealways nice if the mfy lose, but we're gaining ground on *someone* tonight, so it's good
ReplyDeleteI just switched to the Yanks game. What's the booing for? They are talking about replay, fourth out of the inning. The Rays must have gotten robbed.
ReplyDeleteNY up 3-2.
if the rays got robbed, tune into the rays feed for all the info and then some ...
ReplyDeleteThey say that the ball hit the bat, not CI. If that's the case, CI put on a good show.
ReplyDeletei was gonna say, must be the rays feed you're watching.
ReplyDeleteor wait until we play tampa next year, they may still be moaning about it ...
ReplyDeleteif the rays got robbed, tune into the rays feed for all the info and then some ...
ReplyDeleteNo joke, they were already talking about how Jeter didn't lift up any of his bands on his arms to show where he got hit. Several mentions of having to get four outs.
TWO.

well, hopefully i'm not one of those people that suppresses all emotions for like 35 years, then goes out and kills a bunch of people or rapes kids while pouring sugar in old ladies' gas tanks or something
ReplyDeleteOK this is weird.....
I can't remember the last time I heard mention of putting sugar in someone's gas tank. But I missed the thread because I was at a friend's house. I was there because someone put sugar in her gas tank last night while they were asleep. It's just her, a 14 year-old son and a 19 yr-old daughter so she was understandably nervous about why someone would do it and what might happen next. Of course, she's not really an "old lady", she's younger than me, but in the eyes of the person who did it, most likely a teenager, well you know......we're all old.
Uh-oh, after all these years, Allan and I have to get legally married. Living together almost 25 years isn't good enough.
ReplyDeleteGosh, what should I do. Live my own life the way I want, or have an anonymous troll tell me what to do. Tough decision.
Plus he says I'm fat and ugly! My life is ruined!
ReplyDelete... have an anonymous troll tell me what to do
ReplyDeleteThe exact quote: "Still 6 games back Call me when you're tied FUCKING UNMARRIED NERD"
I'll need your phone number.
I remember that Yanks game well, I was living with a Yankees fan (he's a good person otherwise) and that was still back before the WS win so I used even games we weren't involved in to look for ammo to knock on them.
ReplyDeleteI bought a damn shirt with the score and date on it. Sad how spiteful I used to be...
Allan and Laura
ReplyDeleteI am 999% positive you couldn't give 2 shits what I'm about to write, but nevertheless I have to say it.
This isn't an excuse, or anything along those lines. I'm in my mid-20's....single, go out a lot. Last night I had a work event, open bar, everyone was partying, drank quite a lot, watched my team tank it yet again, and vented my frustration on here.
I have no fucking right to discuss you and Laura's personal life, or attack you the way I did. I read my comments now as I'm sitting at my desk and I'm mortified, embarrassed, and ashamed. I am so so sorry.
Clearly I've made myself out to be nothing more than an ignorant troll on this blog.
After what I wrote last night, I am done. The Sox can lose the next 8 games you won't see a comment. The Yankees can win the Series again, you won't see a comment. I'm banning myself. Comment moderation will no longer be needed.
I'm just extremely sorry about this...that's all I can say. We're all baseball fans...I clearly took it outside baseball. I'm a good person, have a good background, and I'm not the rude, vile person that I've made myself out to be. Again - I'm really embarrassed.
Like I've said before - you do baseball fans justice with this blog, it's well-done, great writing, and great coverage. I'll continue to read...
I'm sorry to you and Laura. Laura - the comments I said were awful, and just flat out disgusting. Talking like that to a woman is not how I was raised. I am sure you both could not care the least....but it definitely is a sincere apology.
B.R. said...
ReplyDeletebut it definitely is a sincere apology.
Since when has unmarried been considered an insult....Dude, in my opinion, and I have not seen everything, this might be your tamest, seeing that Allan is unmarried and pretty much a self proclaimed baseball nerd...Mabybe I missed something...and maybe it is none of my business, and maybe A & L were really offended by this one...
You are in your mid 20's and went out got drunk the yankees lost, and you came here to vent your frustration.
You might want to reevalute your priorties...
and for what it is worth , I think you are full of shit...and you wouldn't apologize to Allan for all the money in the world....
Dude, in my opinion, and I have not seen everything, this might be your tamest, seeing that Allan is unmarried and pretty much a self proclaimed baseball nerd...Mabybe I missed something...and maybe it is none of my business, and maybe A & L were really offended by this one...
ReplyDeleteConsidering the comments BR is apologizing for were the ones calling me an "ugly fat girl" - and considering he heckles Allan on a regular basis for supposedly being an old loser, having no life, never going outside, etc etc - and considering he posts 5, 6, 8, 10 comments like that all at once on a regular basis - it's safe to assume BR is trying to insult us.
The point about being "unmarried" is implying Allan is too old to not be married. (Psst, Allan is married, to me, in every sense of the word except on paper in the US.)
I think I can speak for both A and I to say we are not offended because BR is an idiot. I'm a bit past being offended by drunk 20-somethings. But you'll have to trust me, his comments were definitely, without any doubt, intended to be insulting.
Rethinking his priorities is good advice. Learning not to type when drunk is also a must.
I think you are full of shit
ReplyDeleteHe's been trolling JoS for months. Then he blames one post on drinking and venting. As if this is the first time!
Anyone taking bets on how long the self-ban lasts?

SoSock,
ReplyDeleteMaybe this are the crazy odds that the Sox need! What are the odds that someone would post on a blog about sugar in a gas tank the same night that one of the regular posters has an experience with...sugar in a gas tank? I had never even heard of sugar in a gas tank.
I would say that the odds of that are slimmer than the odds of the Sox making the playoffs!
