Red Sox - 006 000 031 - 10 15 1For the first time in World Series history, two rookies had at least three hits each in a World Series game. Ellsbury went 4-for-5, with three doubles, two RBI and two runs scored, while Pedroia was 3-for-5, with one double and 2 RBI.
Rockies - 000 002 300 - 5 11 0
Red Sox lead series 3-0
Lowell singled twice and drive in two runs, Lugo doubled and walked twice, and Matsuzaka knocked in two runs with a single in the six-run third.
Colorado closed the Red Sox's lead to 6-5 in the seventh when Holliday blasted a three-run home run to dead center of Hideki Okajima's first pitch. Jeemer then allowed a single, but got three straight outs to end the threat. Boston answered with three of their own in the top of the eighth -- with one out, Lugo walked, Coco Crisp singled, Ellsbury doubled in one run, and Pedroia doubled in two more.
Jon Lester takes the hill tomorrow night as Boston goes for its second straight World Series sweep. ... (Did I just type that?!!?)

«Oldest ‹Older 401 – 600 of 893 Newer› Newest»Well, I do think that the Rocks are capable of scoring some runs in that stadium. But they've got to be pretty disheartened at this point.
Man, it was great to see Dice get those runs in.
Manny was out...in style.
Amazing, the first time the Rockies' pitcher comes to the plate, the starter is already gone. Wow!

cheesy but fun! light mist, i like it
:D
Gotta love the stereotypical Japanese music played when highlighting the Japanese newspapers. Way to be PC Fox.
Did no one tell these assholes that having that koto music on while talking about Japan is really goofy? I caught a moment of that last night and wondered if I was hearing right.
Manny was out...in style.
And when it boils down to it, isn't that what matters? Getting out...in style?
yeah that music pissed me off the other night too. jeez.
30 balls
And that was with a wide, strike zone!
Looking good so far, but this is colorado where no lead is safe. Still, I feel like Aurebach and am heading for my humidor!
Manny is nothing if not stylish.
Plus it was a great excuse for the Mediots to rag on his hair. (Not that they need an excuse.)
THAT'S NOT A GYROBALL YOU FUCKING MORON.
mcmoron still believing in the gyroball. must believe in the tooth fairy and CHB curse, too.
guys, the towels ain't workin'.
dicek looks fucking sharp!
fox said pitchers who hit and run the bases at coors will get tired.
so dice fans morales and matsui -- ho hum.
guys, the towels ain't workin'.
Don't let them hear you saying that (j/k btw). Keep wavin' 'em Colorado!
i am psyched for dice-k next season. all his adjustment issues will be worked out, and he will be awesome.
guys, the towels ain't workin'.
Oh, I don't know they are white.
PAPI WITH THE STRETCH!
he cant field!!!!!! THE FOX GUYS TOLD ME SO!!!
and jeemer will also get his shit worked out. he should be better!!!
Oh, yeah, its my favorite Vitamin water Commercial. I crack up every time I see this.
Shuttlecock!!!!
Buck sounds amazed that Papi can play 1st.
Jeez, he IS a major lg. ballplayer, ya know
I do love this VitaminWater commercial...as silly as it may be. Papi pounding fists with Urlacher and doing the HR point-up.
M-Fer, I want some VITAMIN WATER!
Papi doesn't only field, he plays mad badminton.
M-Fer, I want some VITAMIN WATER!
:>)
I don't know if his adjustment can be as dramatic as Beckett's. But I could see something like 17-11, 3.85 next year and 19-9 3.25 the next.
hey tim is back! how was dinner tonight? tests all done?
apparently my first comment got lost in the interwebs.
it went something like this:
WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
just got in from dinner, listened to the good inning on the way back, including good ol John Miller announcing it was 5-0 Colorado.
Dice looking good, won't be threading tonight but will drop in with the odd comment or two.
Yep, I am getting tired of the Ortiz can't play first crap. Ok, he's no Youk over there, but he is a lot better than some others I can think of (millar, giambi).
Papi needs to go deep here, just to rub it in.
M-Fer, I want some VITAMIN WATER!
"Ortiz is black but he played that first base just like a regular human being." (/o'reilly)
hey tim is back! how was dinner tonight? tests all done?
Obviously he hasn't had enough to drink yet though, he hasn't said anything funny (j/k).
I HOPE MANNY GOES DEEP.
manny, whadda ya say you get that run back for us here?
"Ortiz is black but he played that first base just like a regular human being." (/o'reilly)
Hahahaha, he wasn't out there shouting "MF'er THROW THE BALL OVER HERE!"
hahaha, no pregame shots for this one. working on a glass of beer now though. anyway off to watch the game!
A lineup that does not let up
Smartest thing I've heard from those guys all night.
fox, i assume by saying "barrett got the call right," you meant he got it wrong. right?
The ump complained that Manny hadn't touched the plate. But the replay clearly shows Manny touched the plate. But Buck/Fuck keep praising the ump's call.
I doubt the sox will pursue a-rod, but...if they did, wouldn't it make sense to move him back to shortstop?
I think the Sox have to offer Lowell a three year deal. Besides, its not like the Sox have a third basemen in the minors that is making salivate like LBJ and Buchholz.
The call on Manny was correct. Torrealba tagged his left hip before Manny hit the plate with his left hand. He was behind the plate until then.
lowell for 3 years, wow. i don't even want to see him for one, but no more than one.
i know most disagree with this.
but whatever, like ish said, back to the real game.
Is House the best show on television?
No.
Every October I get SOOOO sick of the Fox previews. It's the only time I ever see any of those shows.
That House clip repackages one of the oldest jokes around (guy tells doctor it hurts when he does something; doctor says don't do that). Is that supposed to be edgy?
I think the Sox have to offer Lowell a three year deal. Besides, its not like the Sox have a third basemen in the minors that is making salivate like LBJ and Buchholz.
I agree. 3, and if he's iffy, offer him a team option for 4. Lowell is the best third basemen out there. I mean, there are third basemen, and there's A-Rod. A-Rod is not a third baseman. He's a hitter who happens to be a third baseman. But see, Lowell is showing that value as well. Think about it... You're going to be paying $20 million more per season for a guy who will have 20 more home runs and 40 more RBI than Lowell. You could keep Lowell, and if you need to, you can improve offensively at other positions to compensate for the difference that A-Rod would bring. But why would you need to?
The only way I see a guy like A-Rod coming to Boston is after Manny leaves. Someone to protect the Flo.
Edgy - I think it's supposed to show how irreverent House is. His fuck-you attitude.
Hugh Laurie with the worst fake American accent ever.
So does Daisuke have more rbis this postseason than Coco?
Rockies on hot streak
Everyone fucking impressed ...
Meet the A L champs
what IS the best show on television i wonder?
papi! nice play.
Fox, I don't think you speak for Ortiz at all. Not one fucking bit.
PAPI CANT FIELD, THE FOX GUYS TOLD ME SO!
WE ARE WATCHING THE BEST SHOW ON TELEVSION!
RBI
Dice - 2
Ococ - 0
Yook - 1
Lugo - 1
youkalobster
Hey give Laurie his due, he is playing against all of his instincts. He's playing a republican doctor!!
Daisuke looking good, when do we start the countdown?
fuck it, got the ol laptop goin
Dice - 2 RBI
Same as Drew, Manny, Peewee
Hey - Dice as DH?
I love Hugh Laurie, I'm a huge Blackadder fan. But man, I just think he sounds ridiculous.
I've never seen the show, only the previews. It looks like the same show all the time.
WE ARE WATCHING THE BEST SHOW ON TELEVSION!
Nope, can't agree, I have to listen to two morons as part of the show.
well yeah, i meant the *real* show
Why would the Sox want to spend the kind of money it would take to get A-Rod? And would he even fit it with a team like the Sox? I live in NYC and all the coverage here makes him sound like a real prima donna.
I have watched a total of 0 minutes of house.
More of a Sci-fi channel guy!!
forget televison, on EARTH!
Just poppin' by to say woot! Watching the game sans laptop. Have fun everyone!
If the Sox can get Alex Rodriguez they would be completely insane not to do it. He is one of the best players to ever play the game. Period.
lg is right. WS owns all right now.
Why would the Sox want to spend the kind of money it would take to get A-Rod?
Because he is the best hitting infielder in baseball and will probably break Roses and Bonds records. Plus, Luccino absolutely fragging loves him.
forget televison, on EARTH!
:-D
what a breaking ball.
43 outs to go!!!
dice k man we love you !!!!
If the Sox can get Alex Rodriguez they would be completely insane not to do it. He is one of the best players to ever play the game. Period.
it would be great to get him. even tho i all 'hate' him now cause he's on the yankees. (w/e) no question he is one of the greats. and how cute/awesome/kickass would it be to see him interacting with papi and manny on a daily basis?
Yook looking like my buddy who went to Alert, Nunavut (CANADA) for a co-op work term.
A bevy of fastballs?
no nibbling tonight by the dice man!!!
Wonder if Atkins is gonna get a steady diet of fastballs too? Eh? Eh?
...Wonder what the carbs are like in your standard Japanese fastball.
A few Sox blogs call Youkilis Yukon Cornelius, from the Xmas special.
Yoooookon?
Can you eat steamed spinach on the Atkins diet??
WTF happened there, did he lose his slot?
The worst he's looked all night.
it'd be great if we got a-rod and then he did FANTASTIC in a postseason for us while we WON ANOTHER WORLD SERIES!
A big middle finger to the yankmees
lmao, Youkon cornelius!
bye bye rockies! we may not even let you get your one run tonight.
Daisuke looked pissed that he walked that guy. Thats good
Can you eat steamed spinach on the Atkins diet??
Pretty sure you can eat steamed spinach on ANY diet! But Atkins is a carb cutting diet I think, very unsafe.
that building-lighting thing was sweet tho. a litttle more advanced than the pru there ;)
dooo doo doo dooooooooo
hahahahahahaha
uh, was kidding about the spinach and atkins.
doo doo doo dooooooo
Maybe a PLETHORA of fastballs?
Some asinine comparisons, well maybe not so asinine:
Dice K with as many RBI in the postseason as the entire rockies team.
As many RBI as Arod+Jeter.
ugh, there it is. DO DO DO DOOOOO.
ON FIRE!!!
ON FIRE!!!! I tell you!
that's on fire!!
JD "I LOVE YOU" DREW with an almost dong
Drew - hit one into that biiiiig outfield
:)
"Fastball-hitting machine". As if they've called him that all season.
lol, not inebriated enough for that L. too literal today, fucking exams ruining me.
that building-lighting thing was sweet tho. a litttle more advanced than the pru there ;)
Yeah that was pretty awesome, the mountains.
Nice work Drew!
Once again with the Sergeant Major crap. Shut up Fox, knowing the rank structure and all that, shut up. He's the Captain and he'll always be the Captain. Don't fucking demote him.
Well off to work, will catch up with you guys once I get all set up!
Captain to Sergeant Major is quite a demotion. Takes away your officer status and makes you enlisted. I know I might be the first to say this, but McCarver is a bit of an idiot.
Yeah as an Army officer, if I were demoted to Sergeant Major from Captain (though I'm a 2LT)...I'd be fucking insulted. McMoron at it again. Can someone euthanize him?
Can someone euthanize him?
Please, it's for the greater good.
RBI GODZILLA on deck!
dice-k on deck. be afraiiid ;))
They better be careful with Slugo - look who's on deck :>
Wow Dice-K's gloves are the whitest gloves I've ever seen. They're like parade gloves.
ok, i think my comments are getting lost. internet is wonky here (wireless) so just wondering...
Nope, there it is.
whiter than slappy's hamburger helper gloves? say it aint so
Sorry if there was a delay, folks. We had a little connection trouble here. Seems fixed now.
No it wasn't you, it was us.
Dice definitely just ran down the line, bat in hand. Awesome.
Radio nowhere commerical music eh?
Good point redsock. I didn't notice the black on the three other fingers from the middle to the pinky. I take back my comment.
I know I might be the first to say this, but McCarver is a bit of an idiot.
Indeed. It's always worth saying.
mlb.com has shit the bed. yay selig.
Radio nowhere commerical music eh?
Rockies Nowhere.
biiig scary outfield again.
Manny says "No taking 2nd on my watch bitch!"
Gameday is kaput. The MLB message:
"This component is temporarily unavailable. Please refresh your browser to re-start it. If the problem persists, please close and then re-open your browser, or e-mail support@website.mlb.com for assistance."
yeah, i'll email. maybe mlb will answer me by next all-star game.
LOVE that they went for the DP on the fly-out - made him run for it
I've gotta say, this lack of Rockies innings hasn't been good news for Joe Walsh's royalty income.
HERE COME THE ROCKIES!!!!!
Waddya think - a little more effort coulda got it, or not?
Sosock, no worse than anything Trot would've done.
Trot may have booted it causing at least one run to score.
Nice swing, casual Matsui.
fucking A
lugo with the force!!!!!!!!!!
Good D work Lugo/Lowell.
OUT at third!!!
Lugo man, that was great.
Nice!
HELLUVA PLAY !!!!!
i luuv me some good defensive plays ;))
Casual Matsui, we say that too. Casual Friday Matsui.
Suckaaaaaaaaaaas!
"Trot may have booted it causing at least one run to score."
I concur :)
Rockies manage to get a man to third NOT. Beauuuutiiiful.
Still only 4 men to third base in the entire series for the Rockies.
Damn, this WS shit is easy!
Rockies get nothing with that. Good defense work guys!
Question...should Dice-K stay in the 6th?
I'd keep him in with a short-ish leash, sure.
Anyone?
83 thru 5 in his last start of the season. i say yep.
I'm trying to come up with rational reasons why I don't want A-Rod on our team.
Well, first -- it probably won't come up. The Yankees will keep him, even if they have to go back on their statement that they wouldn't go after him if he opts out.
But beyond that? Part of it is liking Lowell at $12m over A-Rod at $30m. I mean, I know that A-Rod is more likely to have the kind of year he had this year than Lowell is to have the kind of year he had this year. But...$18m better?
And, think about it -- A-Rod's going to want 8, 9, 10 years. A big risk.
Best in the league? Best ever? I don't want him. I can't say it's rational, I know he's great. It would be weird to learn to love him. Somehow. I mean...he's the slapmeister, y'know?
I'm trying to come up with rational reasons why I don't want A-Rod on our team.
If you come up with one, let me know.
Well, if you want to come up with reasons not to want Alex Rodriguez on your team, they would have to be irrational reasons. Doesn't make them wrong, of course.
But if you want to make your team as good as possible, you want him. If you want to like all your players as much as possible...
I figure everyone would learn to like him.
Lyndon has as many hits tonight as the Rockies team.
Just read the ofer spinach duty, nice!
Glad someones lookin out for priorities.
It'd be a helluva tough transition going from not liking him to liking him. I know a lot of t-shirt makers/sellers would have a lot of recalls on their anti-Alex Rodriguez products.
What?
A team came back from 0-3?
Tell me more!!!
I would love to see him at 3rd. It would be fucking incredible.
I'm not expecting it, but man I would love it.
gameday has returned.
...should Dice-K stay in the 6th?
Well helllll yeah, I say
Then again, I didn't wait for the double digits to open the wine tonight, so what do I know?
As much as I think he's a douche bag, I would love to see A-Rod at third in Boston. He's so good, the numbers don't lie. His fielding is obviously shittier than Lowells, however I'm sure it could be worked on...He has made some nice plays before. I think Lowell had a career year this year and his numbers will drop off, definitely not worth 3 years. One, ok. Two, maybe. But if they have the chance to get A-Rod, I say A-Rod > Lowell.
Wtf are they chanting?
"OHHH! ROCKIES????"
seriously, the way they're saying it sounds like a question.
I do like that Miller High Life guy. He's funny.
Lyndon is the second player in World Series history to hit two doubles in one inning. First AL player. Matt Williams was the first to do it in 2001 with the Diamondbacks against those MFY.
i.e. "Whose in the world series?"
"Colorado and Boston."
"Colorado has a baseball team?"
"Yeah, the Rockies."
"Ohhhhh! Rockies?"
There's Youk at first.
Yook in.
Tonight: The Joy of Six.
Yook in, short sleeves, nice!
i'm so tired, i gotta get out of the game thread and just watch the game.
just assume i'm laughing at all the funny comments and agreeing with all the smart comments.
seriously, the way they're saying it sounds like a question.
Jon Miller seemed to think they were chanting, "Dyansty? No!"
I'm admitting they're not rational reasons. I don't really believe in the "clubhouse cancer" thing or the idea that he cools a team off. But I don't care for him. I don't like the attitude and mindset that produced the Slap. There's some quality I like to think the Red Sox have that doesn't jibe with A-Rod. Let the Yankees have the burden of having the best hitter in baseball for the next ten years. I'd rather have someone else out there.
Jon Miller seemed to think they were chanting, "Dyansty? No!"
They showed a fan during it, saying the "Rockies?!" part.
That "Go Rockies" (or whatever) chant, besides sounding like a question, is also incredibly sloooow, which, correct me if I'm wrong, doesn't do a whole lot in terms of rallying. Not a lot of energy being that, you know?
Sounds more like they're chanting "Are we beat? No"
I don't know. I know you are getting beat though!
Fucking canadian fox. just cut to MAD TV for a pitch. I had to get out of bed to get the remote and everything before they cut back.
That "Go Rockies" (or whatever) chant, besides sounding like a question, is also incredibly sloooow, which, correct me if I'm wrong, doesn't do a whole lot in terms of rallying. Not a lot of energy being that, you know?
Must be the thin air.
that was the buffalo fox feed.
no fox in canada. thank dog.
Sometimes I wish they wouldn't pan to the fans, especially the kids. Makes me begin to feel pity...
:(
shots of sad fans.
nicer when they have NY on their hats, but still cool.
Correction:
"Not a lot of energy behind that."
Jeeze, even a "Lets go roc-kies! Bah, bah, Bah! Bah! Bah!" would be better.
Red Sox did a good job of keeping the crowd in it? No, that's cause the crowd isn't full of fairweather fucking johnsons like it is in colorado!
just assume i'm laughing at all the funny comments and agreeing with all the smart comments.
That is assuming we make any smart or funny ones as we start to reach the happy dance time!
John Miller made that Lugo to Lowell play sound like it was fragging awesome. Guess that is what the NESN post game show is for!!
lopez up
that was the buffalo fox feed.
no fox in canada. thank dog.
Well yeah. But they have to sync to the global feed for simulcast shows so they show the canadian commericals...thats what happened, then someone was probably like "nooo! switch it back!"....er yah.
Uh-oh Dice-K. Damn. I'd love to see him get through six.
I've never heard this much applause for two BBs. Short leash, fuck yeah!
Yeah I think it's time to go.
tito out -- in october the man does NOT fuck around!!!
hook.
i love tito.
And props to Dice-K for a good 5 1/3 innings and a 2-run hit.
Booing Lopez. Good ol' "Lets just boo whoever has a different color uniform than ours" uneducating booing.
There's some quality I like to think the Red Sox have that doesn't jibe with A-Rod.
I agree. He's done quite a few questionable things with the Yankees, like the whole slappy thing, the fighting, yelling at infielders when they're catching a pop-up... Look at where the Red Sox are right now. They have a 2-0 lead in the World Series. Soon to be 3 games to none! They're going to be enough of a prolific team next season with a more experienced Dice-K, a healthy Ortiz, etc etc etc. Buchholz... More Ellsbury...
I just don't think the Red Sox need a guy like A-Rod. And to be perfectly honest, it'd feel more Yankee-like to get him. Not because he was with the Yankees, but signing that enormous of a contract right after you've won the World Series, etc.
tito out -- in october the man does NOT fuck around!!!
hook.
i love tito.
same.
javy - yr up :)
I'm with you Zenslinger. He may be a great hitter but he'd be poison for the team.
Fuck sakes.
There's some quality I like to think the Red Sox have that doesn't jibe with A-Rod.
we'll make him honourable. no slapping. no yelling. no being a little yankee bitch ;p
im back from the other room having chicken soup.
hell of a game pitched by the dice-man.
lets end this inning, eh?
token run!
Fucking christ.
there's the one run.
WTF - lOPEZ??
Fragging kidding me
Lopez!
there's their run for tonight, sez L.
okay.
shut em down.
Damn. Come on bullpen. Let's just get them out. I can't blame Lopez too much b/c of the setup. I'm sure Fux Sports is elated though.
There's their 1 run, now let's finih this!!
Completely predictable. He can't get out lefties.
when's the last time javy's pitched?
just. ya know.
yeah - lopez must say to himself (this year), but i am not a loogy.
nice swing, well managed 80's band.
Hate to say this...but bye Lopez.
Upping their runs by 100% fuck.
DAMN !!!
They got more than 1 run
If you ask me, Dice-K would have been just fine, even with two runners on. No one could touch him, and I doubt Hawpe would have done anything but strike out against Matsuzaka. This could become a game very, very quickly.
mcmoron excited -- finally, a slice of drama in the series.
admiral white flag in
C'mon post season Timlin. Make them show US the white flag!
Short leash - love it, but Dimmer?
Oh well, we'll see.
