Red Sox - 201 010 101 - 6 16 0Adrian Beltre went 4-for-5, Marco Scutaro went 3-for-5, and Victor Martinez went 3-for-4 as Boston coasted to victory. Buchholz (8-5-1-1-5, 108) was in total command.
White Sox - 000 010 000 - 1 6 0
Both Beltre and David Ortiz collected their 100th RBI tonight. Beltre, Ortiz, and Martinez each drove in two runs. Scutaro scored three times.
The Blue Jays beat the Yankees 7-5 (A.J. Burnett: 2.1-7-7-1-1, 48!) and the Orioles beat the Rays 4-0.
Boston is 5.5 GB New York in the WC with six games to go. If they had held won last night, they might be a mere 3.5 GB right now.
If, and only if, they go 7-0 this week and the Yankees go 0-6. That would give both teams a 93-69 record and force a one-game playoff for the WC!

We can do it! Ken Burns is gonna have to make a whole new episode just to document the most astounding choke in history. I can feel it.
ReplyDeleteIt's hard to type in a straitjacket, by the way.
Damn. Just....damn.
ReplyDeleteAlthough I knew it was coming, it sux to have it actually here.
Oh well, off to the bar for music and adult beverages. I'll drink a toast to what could have been if I see an undesirable final on the linescore feed.

Good ol' AJ!

ReplyDeleteYEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteOw. AJ had time to read 1/3 of IJ before he tagged Tiz.
ReplyDeleteHere, but so tired. Too tired to thread. Late night last night killed me today!

bogar can go fuck off.
ReplyDeleteJust got home. Cool, 3-0. From the thread, it looks like Papi was thrown out at home?
ReplyDeleteIt sure would be a lot better to have an elimination number of three instead of one.
Jay (my husband) said that the way the Sox lost the game last night was a microcosm of the entire season.
nice hacking.
ReplyDeletewow - nice arm
ReplyDeleteWas that Lowell running????
ReplyDeleteFrom the thread, it looks like Papi was thrown out at home?
ReplyDeleteExcept I just rewound the replay, and it really looked like AJ had the ball in his bare hand but tagged Papi with the glove. You can't do that, can you?
ha ha - HE OUT!
ReplyDeleteno, you cannot do that.
ReplyDeleteNo you can't do that. But somehow, it seems to happen several times a season. What are the umps looking at?

LOL, if I ever caught a ball, that's what it would look like!
ReplyDeleteJay (my husband) said that the way the Sox lost the game last night was a microcosm of the entire season.
ReplyDeleteHow so?
We were ahead almost the whole game. Not so for the season.
WTH? Didn't Clay catch that? Why is there nobody out? What kind of strange dimension am I in tonight?
ReplyDeleteOK, never mind, Rewound again, and I see it bounced in front of the plate before Clay fielded it. Thought I was going to have to have my eyes (or probably head) examined.
ReplyDeleteIf anyone else has the ability to go back to that play at the plate and see which hand he had the ball in, I'd be curious if I saw that right too!
Nice catch, Hall! I didn't think he was going to get that.

Oh man. Did that just happen?
ReplyDeleteAn automatic double /Benjamin
ReplyDeleteL, I would guess it was partly bullpen related, as the winning run was walked in.
ReplyDeleteMy take? Heartbreaking, hanging in there but not having quite enough.
damn that loss last night hurts.

Thanks, Mrs G. I wouldn't characterize it that way, but if he doesn't follow the team closely (?), I could see it would look that way.
ReplyDeleteAmazing that Texas clinched with the exact same record as the Sox.
you cannot put that on the board.
ReplyDeleteyes.
Yes, he follows closely. He just doesn't watch every game like I do. He is the original Red Sox fan of the family, so he has lived through all of the heartbreakers.
ReplyDeleteMan, I hate getting facebook requests from people I don't know if I know. I'm never sure what to do with them.
ReplyDeleteBeltre's had some night.
ReplyDeleteOK, enough of this. Time for bed. Night all.
Don't drink the water! It may be almost eliminated, but it is dirty.
