Orioles - 201 021 100 - 7 10 2 Red Sox - 000 005 102 - 8 15 0It was like a doubleheader. In Game 1, Matsuzaka was demoralizing (4.1-5-5-7-2, 106) while Tillman handcuffed the Sox (5-5-0-3-2, 88). In the middle of the sixth, Baltimore led 6-0.
Then Buck Showalter went to his bullpen and Game 2 began.
The Red Sox immediately torched three relievers for five runs, closed the gap to one run again in the seventh, and, after wasting a prime scoring opportunity in the eighth, won the game when Adrian Gonzalez drove a two-run double off the Wall with one out in the bottom of the ninth.
Deep down in Florida, the Rays beat the Yankees 6-5, so Boston (21-20) is now in a three-team tie for second place with Toronto (21-20) and New York (20-19).
Red Sox 6th: Orioles 6-0, M Gonzalez pitching. Drew singled, took second on LF error. Lowrie doubled, 1-6. Crawford safe on 3B error. Varitek singled (7 pitches), 2-6. Ellsbury lined out to LF. Accardo pitching. Pedroia flied out to CF. Gonzalez singled, 3-6. Youkilis doubled, 5-6. Rapada pitching. Ortiz walked. Drew grounded out to 2B.
Red Sox 7th: Orioles 7-5, Johnson pitching. Lowrie tripled (8 pitches). Crawford K. Varitek singled, 6-7. Ellsbury singled. Pedroia lined out to LF. Gonzalez K.
Red Sox 8th: Orioles 7-6, Uehara pitching. Youkilis doubled. Ortiz grounded out to 2B. Drew BBI. Lowrie K. Crawford popped out to 2B.
Red Sox 9th: Orioles 7-6, Gregg pitching. Varitek flied out to LF. Ellsbury singled. Ellsbury stole second. Pedroia walked (9 pitches). Gonzalez doubled, 8-7.
And now ... how about one game over .500, please!
Jerry Remy will be on NESN for the first time since April 26.
Only one Red Sock has more than two plate appearances against Tillman. Carl Crawford is 6-for-12, with a double and two triples. Here is what the Os have done against Dice.
AL East: Yankees/Rays at 6:30 PM and Blue Jays/Tigers at 7 PM.

«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 263 of 263And how many of those sac flies were RBI sac flies as opposed to moving the runner to third?
Walkoff time. And I like the Tek call.
all 6 - no sac fly on runners moving up a base.
That's some crazy wine you got there!
Ahh, love reliving the Mother's Day miracle. Definitely one of the more memorable games I have seen at Fenway.
Shit, Allan, I thought you had it called.
FUCK YOU YOU TRUPING NESN ASSHOLES
Oh man....! we got truped!
Cameraman's drinking what Allan's drinking.
I can't believe that was caught.
pie, not tin
Has Johnson been calling strikes a foot off the plate all night?
LOL @ Benjamin
Oh my. Damn wind.
yeah if you hit a fly out and a runner moves up but doesn't score, you get nothing. (Credited with an at bat, no hit.)
OK, tying run on. Can FY get us a win?
Tying run on base!
It's time for Pedroia to not be as sucky.
Amy, so cool you were at that game.
Tek walks away saying...wow
Okay, get it done FY
Huh, I never knew that. If a bunt to get a guy over counts as a sacrifice, why not a sac fly that does? It certainly doesn't count against your batting average, right?
Wonder if Remy knows the Wall hasn't been made of tin since before he was playing for the Red Sox
There he goes!
Sloppy slide there, LBJ. Be careful!
(but I like the pie tin thing--you're great with those pie puns)
okay dustin mueller, bring him in
Oh, man, my heart jumped!
Other wall, Pedroia. The one nearby.
Amy, no way you've been watching baseball all these years and didn't know that.
WHEW, foul.
millared it, just a tad.
damn! i figured that was either a Pie Tin or a dong, didn't think it was so close to the line
Me too, heart jumped!
Why Dustin Mueller? Bill Mueller reference?
jeter would steal 3rd
Short-handed a walk.
YEAH! Winning run on!
I'll take Bert for the win, Alex.
What an AB!
Laura, you'd be amazed what I don't know...or once knew and forgot!
OK, let YOUK get it out.
!!!!
Awesome.

I'm sorry, allan. The question we were looking for was, "What is Mauritius?"
First walk off for Bert in a Boston Uniform!
Have we had a walkoff this season??
posada would go home
Reached.
C'mon EB. You're due for a homer
Oh. Never mind

Two what, Allan? Dongs?
I am sorry I missed part of the thread tonight...just too tired to type for FOUR hours. I was saving my typing fingers and my eyes for the grand finale!
I just remembered the winner of my blog's Super Bowl contest's prize was tix to this game. I hope to hell he stuck around for the finish. (I think he came up from Philly for it so one would think....)
yeah, me likey.
that's probably my favorite from the night!
He is an amazing hitter..
