G26: Mariners 2, Red Sox 0

Mariners - 001 001 000 - 2  8  0
Red Sox  - 000 000 000 - 0  7  1
Boston failed to capitalize on several scoring chances, leaving 11 men on base in the first seven innings, including four at third base. The Red Sox finished the evening 0-for-11 with runners at second and/or third.

The Red Sox loaded the bases with one out in the first inning, but David Ortiz struck out and J.D. Drew flew out to center.

Jacoby Ellsbury led off the third with a double (he also walked twice), but no one could advance him even to third. Jed Lowrie doubled with two outs in the fourth, and Carl Crawford flied to right. Five of Boston's seven hits were doubles.

The Red Sox loaded the bases with no outs in the fifth, on a double by Jarrod Saltalamacchia and walks by Ellsbury and Dustin Pedroia. Adrian Gonzalez lined into a double play; replays showed that umpire crew chief Gerry Davis blew the call at second base, as Ellsbury got back to the bag in time. Yook ended the inning with a foul pop to first.

Drew doubled with one out in the sixth and took third on a fly out, but was stranded. With two outs in the seventh, Gonzalez walked and Yook doubled, but Ortiz flied out to left. Saltalamacchia singled to begin the bottom of the ninth, only to have Ellsbury ground into a 4-6-3 double play and Pedroia fly out to right.Doug Fister / John Lackey

I have the day off, and am right now outside reading The Pale King, with the dogs enjoying the sun and slowly-drying grass, and I have nothing baseball-related to put in this spot. ... Just win the damn game.

Did you see the Jonathan Franzen article in the New Yorker recently that talks about DFW?

Yes, right after it came out. It was online only, though.

Jere said...

Audible gasp from Eck on that frozen rope.

RedSoxDiehard said...

Know what would be fun? Eck Bingo! If I can't have Remy, I want Eck every night.

Jere said...

Eck is always fun.

Jere said...

Wall ball please

allan said...

ugh

Jere said...

There is no piece of paper big enough to hold the board that would be Eck Bingo.

allan said...

move out of the way, you dumb shit

Jere said...

If Youk had dropped that would Lackey have made the pissed off face at himself for getting in the way?

Jere said...

Don actually said "Lowrie looks toward second but fires to first" on that call! He didn't look at second at all!

meunier said...

The Bruins put up a touchdown on the Flyers.

Jere said...

jesus youk. shitty call saves him.

allan said...

you cannot be taken seriously with a stache like that.

meunier said...

Jack said...

Is it just me or did NESN completely miss an AB in favor of commercials?!?

allan said...

Did not notice a completely missed at bat, but could have happened on your cable system or whatever.

Jere said...

Very safe.

allan said...

meunier said...

Jere said...

Fuck. I think I may go eat dinner now. And I already HAD dinner!

Jere said...

What I meant to say before was "It's bases loaded no outs so we definitely won't score this inning." Right again.

allan said...

very bad luck with bert smoking the ball and the ump blowing the call.

allan said...

lackey cannot be pleased.

allan said...

OT; I don't think Prince Harry is Chuck's son at all.

allan said...

OT; I don't think Prince Harry is Chuck's son at all.

I believe I have more interest in Michael Kay's belly button lint than the fucking monarchy.

allan said...

Jere said...

Don just said "spryly."

allan said...

allan said...

Dr. Jeff said...

Hmm. Can he do it?

Jere said...

is this game some kind of joke?

Jere said...

"When I pitched, two and two, let's party...now. I don't like three and two." -guess who

Jere said...

On NESN, catch was off-screen, as they thought it was to the right fielder, not the CF

allan said...

"Would you hope-dashing, shitty motherfuckers score at least 2 runs?" -- guess who

allan said...

well, they are sort of new to this whole televised baseball fad.

Jere said...

"This hitter makes $142 million"--guess who

allan said...

"he earned $75,000 on that pop-up"

allan said...

diego has been hanging out with me tonight, but (as you might expect) he is a bit rough on the idea of dog mojo. i have explained the basics to him, and i think he has it figured out. so here we go .........

allan said...

"bush" league in for sea

Jere said...

Tying run up after Salty mouse receives the piece of cheese.

Amy said...

I would like to be excited that we have a leadoff hit, but given how our team just SUCKS at getting any runs in lately, I do not see this going anywhere.

Amy said...

As I said...

allan said...

bad dog.

Jere said...

Okay, this game IS a joke.

Amy said...

I am really starting to hate this team, this season, this whole game!

allan said...

... good-bye april, and fuck off.

Kathryn said...

Well stated Allan. Ugh. Maybe I'm glad missed this one.

Jere said...

"Maybe I'm glad missed this one."

You are extremely glad. Trust me.
