Athletics - 400 110 000 - 6 11 2 Red Sox - 212 000 21x - 8 11 1Clay Buchholz (4.2-8-6-2-5, 99) allowed four runs on five hits in the top of the first inning and his teammates shrugged it off, erasing Oakland's lead and taking the lead after three innings.
After the A's rallied to go ahead 6-5, Carl Crawford and Jarrod Saltalamacchia knocked in the late-inning runs that gave Boston a win and snapped the team's four-game losing streak.
In the bottom of the first, Jacoby Ellsbury singled, stole second, took third on a wild pitch, and scored on Adrian Gonzalez's grounder to second. Kevin Youkilis doubled and David Ortiz singled him home.
Mike Cameron reached on a two-base throwing error in the second, advanced to third on a passed ball and scored on Ellsbury's sac fly. With one out in the third, Youkilis walked and scored the tying run on Ortiz's double off the Wall in left. Then Flo scored the go-ahead run when Jed Lowrie singled to center.
Trailing 6-5 with one out in the seventh, Gonzalez doubled off Joey Devine, Youkilis was hit by a pitch, and Ortiz walked. With two outs, Brian Fuentes came in from the pen and gave up a full-count single to Crawford that gave Boston a 7-6 lead. Salty contributed some insurance by leading off the eighth with a dong over the Red Sox pen in right center.
Tommy Hottovy (#68) made his major league debut in the top of the sixth. Coco Crisp was on first with two outs. After a throw to first, Crisp stole second on ball one to David DeJesus. DeJesus then looked at a strike before grounding out to Pedroia to end the inning.
Bobby Jenks allowed a leadoff double in the seventh. After a strikeout, he balked the runner to third and issued a walked before getting an inning-ending double play. Daniel Bard pitched the eighth, giving up only a two-out single. Jonathan Papelbon made quick work of the A's in the ninth (F9, K, P6). After Buchholz left, five relievers put up a 4.1-3-0-1-2 line.
Gonzalez had three hits, Youkilis was on base four times and scored three runs, and Ortiz singled, doubled and walked. ... On the minus side, Dustin Pedroia was 0-for-5 and Ellsbury fouled out to the left side of the infield three times.
A pitcher named Outman!!! This will be his third start since returning from Tommy John surgery.
AL East: Yankees/Angels and Rays/Mariners at 10 PM.

From PeteAbe:
Sox have lost 4 straight and are in 2nd place, 2 GB. ... Ortiz is hitting .313/.382/.582 with 13 homers and 28 RBIs. Among DHs, he is #1 in OPS, HR and SLG, and #3 in RBI and AVG.
I feel like Outman and Hottovy should be linked somehow.
We may actually get to see Outman relieved by Balfour---how cool is that?!
Dear Red Sox,
A win tonight would be most appreciated.
Love always,
Joy Nation
Yay, NESN
don reall pushing the concern about how HH has done against "this team" in his career ... of course, he has never faced "this team" until tonight.
So much for the no-hitter.
And the shut out! That's ok, a regular win will do fine.
outs pls
Get an out, man!
Ohforfucksake.
I wonder if Outman visited Inman Square in Cambridge.
jesus. that lowrie attempt look jeterian (maybe he was shading towards 3rd).
Man, I feel like we're behind as soon as the game starts, every game we play these days.
Runs please!
Fuck! 7:25 and this is no fun already!
we never have played well against oakland, i don't have much hope for this one. sigh ...
tarp? gimme a "canvas alley", don.
OK, deep breath, here we go. We just happen to be starting with a 4-run deficit. No big deal for this team.
OB said Outman is a "Tommy John survivor"
What's the survival rate for tommy john surgery? 99.99%?
what's this guy's out pitch?
It does kind of dilute the meaning of the word survivor.
Good start! Lyndon
What's this DX followed by Japanese characters on the fence behind the plate?
I wonder if Pedroia is hurt. He's not the one man laser show of times before.
Off to 3rd he goes!
sweaty balty dong.
outstanding
They're making this look easy.
safeman
NESN lovin' that dugout cam tonight
Castig mentioned HH's back may still be bothering him...
"not fooling anyone"
So he immediately strikes out 2 batters.
Let's get another pair, now.
I want my fun back while I edit this document at work after hours :(
Major trupe there.
SUZUKIBALLA!
That throw was Knoblochian!
Error-aided run, I'll take it.
Sounds like Willingham has a Damon arm.
why in the hell is don getting into shemp's japan HR totals?
Looks like he's fooling the A's now.
OTT. This is almost fun again, two more unanswered runs please.
Don never met a number he couldn't drone on about.
scored in the first two innings, might as well score in the next six.
I concur allan.
don: "I'm thinking, it can't end this way!!"
youkilis is headed for third ... AND BEYOND!
Papi!!!!
It was like the Titanic.
Papi with the wheels!
The lead!
JED!
(still worried about this one, though)
Outman: It gets worse
I can't get these guys out, man.
"Woozy for a while there... going in and out of consciousness..."
Cut himself shaving. :)
"Willingham waiting for the carom and I'm not sure it even hit the wall on the fly..."
They were chuckling so much about the paddleboat that they didn't notice that Papi's ball was going to hit the wall.
You're out man.
They'd cut our 912-run lead to 908, but we now lead by 913. I'm talking all-time runs, of course. (Sick of this petty single game crap.) I hope to be up by 1,000 on 'em by 2025.
LBJ...get out!
Hey Jere, I just ordered your book. I'll be reading it soon.
How many verbs does Don have for fouls? He just used "tapped" foul. Carved, sliced,...?
Oh good gosh, this kind of looks like the TBall game I had to watch last night.
(Sick of this petty single game crap.)
:>)
Bah, tied.
Less fun now.
"Hey Jere, I just ordered your book. I'll be reading it soon."
Wow. Thanks.
Adrian should have either gone for two or held that runner at third. Obviously you have to get at least one out, but I think you can look the guy back to third while inching toward first, then if he bolts, throw home. At that point, you're still getting the same amount of outs, but you're preventing the run.
Less fun now.
I think more fun is on the way.
DO foul words: tapped, sliced, carved, lifted, lined, grounded...almost enough for another bingo card!
Remy: "You live a dangerous life"
Don: "Right on the edge"
Laughing and squeaking.
NESN teaching us an astronomy lesson on that play?
Craw not making anyone think of Yaz out there.
It's June 4th. By July 4th, I want Carl to know that wall-scrapers will bounce over his head unless he backs away from the wall.
almost enough for another bingo card!
I'll be listening for more. I bet there are some we can't think of.
I'm always surprised at how long it takes OFers to learn that - and how opposing teams so often don't seem to get it.
"It's June 4th."
It's June 3rd me asshole!
diceian pitch count for buchholz: 99 in 4.2 innings (24 batters)
3rd, 4th, same diff. Early June.
Jere, check out wmtc, awesome event in Canada today. Unprecedented.
(Of course all are welcome to check it out... I just thought Jere might be especially interested. As well as Benjamin and Nick, if they were here.)
fun, pls
I'm always surprised at how long it takes OFers to learn that - and how opposing teams so often don't seem to get it.
Crawford has started 103 games at Fenway Park in 9+ years in the AL East.
"She was immediately removed from the Senate chamber and fired from her job."
She's a martyr! Of sorts...
And by the way, thrones? I'm surprised W didn't try to adopt that tradition.
Crawford has started 103 games at Fenway Park in 9+ years in the AL East.
But it's like when it's their home park, they start all over, like they've never played out there before. That's what it often seems like, anyway.
I want some large father fun!
Jedi not great against righties.
bleh.
And by the way, thrones?
It is the queen's parliament, after all. The GG, the Queen's representative in Canada, opens Parliament.
I find the whole thing quite weird. But no weirder than saluting the flag or Hail To The Chief.
Is it Hottovy in here?
June 3rd in A's-Red Sox history:
1914: The defending world champion, first-place Athletics come into Fenway and sweep a double dip, 10-1 and 7-5. They pounded out 32 or 33 hits, depending on which paper you read. Red Sox catcher Pinch Thomas was hit in the mouth by a ball while yawning and had to leave game one.
Remarkable Hottovy is ANOTHER Tommy John survivor :-0
On simmer!
How many people are there that want a Republic of Canada not associated with the UK?
I'm impressed never seen a Biochemistry/Molecular Biology major (like me) in the major leagues.
Yeah! But don't be so good against my team, pls.
"I'm impressed never seen a Biochemistry/Molecular Biology major (like me) in the major leagues."
I guess you missed the games he played for the Red Sox a few years back then. Zing.
This day in Red Sox-A's history:
6/3/1925: The last-place Sox beat the first-place A's at Fenway, 4-2, despite being outhit 9-4. Boston's Tex Vache doubled, tripled, and was hit by a pitch. Despite hitting .313 in 110 games in 1925, it was Vache's only season in the bigs.
Red Sox catcher Pinch Thomas was hit in the mouth by a ball while yawning and had to leave game one.
I need more info on this. Was he on the bench? In the batter's box?
Balk ?!
"I guess you missed the games he played for the Red Sox a few years back then. Zing."
I probably saw them or listened, but the announcers might not have mentioned his Yale major... or is it such a novelty that Castig brings it up every time and my memory is already fading.
Now I feel old :(
"I need more info on this."
Well it's weird, one account just said he was hit and left the game. Another said that the fusillade got so tiresome, Thomas yawned and got hit in the teeth. So they may have been joking.
outman at 2nd, outman at 1st
Whew--runs now, pls.
Bert.
How many people are there that want a Republic of Canada not associated with the UK?
A Republic of Canada? Not sure what you mean.
Canada is part of the Commonwealth, but that is largely symbolic. It's a completely independent country with its own constitution, laws, etc. I think it's pretty much done what you're thinking of.
Evil Bert with the half dong!
Tizzle Time?
Bases loaded, one out, how many score...??
Do Not Squander.
4 runs will score. Lowrie pops out to shallow outfield and Craw hits a grand dong.
right on target.
Carp, is a scrotum too much to ask for?
Well Jere, step one is done. Now for step two.
You're right so far.
*fenway stands as one*
will gladly take that!
The CRAW!!
Here we go!!!!
Not Jere's GS but we have the lead again!
Plus still men clogging the bases for On Fire
OK, he wasn't OF there, but 7-6 = good
T.D.I.R.S.A.H.
June 3rd, 1955: Looking for their first-ever win in the city of Kansas City, the Red Sox fall short, losing 4-3 to the KC Athletics. Bobby Shantz started for the A's, and his brother Wilmer hit a 2-run dong to break a 2-2 tie in the 7th.
That 1925 game was our only win against this franchise on June 3rd! We're 1-8 all-time and have lost our last 6. Gotta turn June 3rd vs. the A's around tonight.
I see both the Giants and Cubs have made It Gets Better videos. Very good!
SALTY DONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A near free-furniture blast
salTALA insurance dong!!!!
Salty dong!!! Just as obscene as a sweaty dong.
Salty finish?
This game just got a bit better.
And the Rays and MFY are losing after one.
More evil from Bert
AG can flat-out fuckin hit.
Cooking with evil bert?
Yook always looks annoyed at defense. "They have a lot of nerve..."
Bot.
Cooking with evil bert?
Exactly what I was thinking.
The "shipping up to Boston" song is the fight song for the Uni. I went to, they didn't have one for many years.
For Salty, it gets Wuertz.
Alright Bot, let's do this.
1
That's one. Love those one pitch outs.
O POO say the A's. (One Pitch One Out)
My Uni.'s fight song is some lil' ditty written in like 1895 or something.
That's two!
2
Two. He's not screwing around.
one out away from win # 1,051 against the A's....
My uni's fight song was who the fuck cares written in 1770something.
And that's three. Don't drink the water!
3.
It's dirty
This closer will do, for now.
That was fun after all--DIRTY H2O!
Feels good to win one.

Laura went to school
Wore the red and blue
And shouted 'who the fuck cares'
By the shores of the Newww-York Harbor
Or maybe somewhere close to there
No we will not fight
No we will not cheer
We'll just ask you 'who the fuck cares'
We*don't*care!

We*don't*care!
