Orioles - 070 100 000 - 8 11 1Penny wasn't worth a plugged nickel in the second, throwing 40 pitches, walking three Orioles (including two with the bases loaded) and giving up a grand slam to Nick Markakis.
Red Sox - 041 032 00x - 10 12 0
But the Red Sox rallied. In the home half, they scored four times, two coming on Jason Bay's third dong of the young season. They actually had the tying run at the plate, but Kevin Youkilis grounded out to end the inning.
J.D. Drew hit a solo homer to start the third and Nick Green's two-run double off the wall in dead center brought in two more, tying the game in the fifth. A sac fly from Bay and a single from Mike Lowell gave the Sox their go-ahead runs.
Drew finished the night having reached base five times (three walks, home run, triple) and scoring thrice. Green and Jacoby Ellsbury each had two hits and Dustin Pedroia had three. David Ortiz continued to struggle, hitting a sac fly in the second, striking out three times and popping up to third.
Manny Delcarmen pitched 2.2 scoreless innings, though he did allow an inherited runner to score. Ramon Ramirez came on with two on and two outs in the sixth and retired Ty Wigginton, set down the side in order in the seventh, then wilted in the seventh, allowing two one-out singles. On came Hideki Okajima, who got Markakis to fly to the track in center, then struck out Aubrey Huff. Jonathan Papelbon surrendered a lead-off single in the ninth, but got two first-pitch fly balls to right and then fanned Felix Pie to save it.

Jeremy Guthrie (2.25, 227 ERA+) / Brad Penny (4.50, 116 ERA+)
The 3-6 Red Sox are happy to be back at Fenway Park. They begin nine-game home stand (against the Orioles, Twins and Yankees) tonight.
Penny allowed five hits and three runs over six innings against the Angels last Saturday. He has pitched in Fenway Park only once before: June 29, 2003. He allowed nine hits and nine runs in five innings and Boston beat Florida 11-7. That was two days after the infamous 25-8 rout of the Marlins. ... Guthrie threw six shutout innings against the Rays last Saturday.
Jason Bay has reached base in all nine games this year, and in 22 consecutive regular season starts dating back to September 12, 2008.

RBayI
Plus I'm 201 AND 401!
hey Os blame canada
Laura gets the 401 and the 201
YOu hear those "hey"s? That's section 43. Kazoo Guy. He does that Rock n Roll Part II song on kazoo and wears socks on his ears.
Are Tek's socks higher than usual?
Come on, Doctor!!!
Doctor!
Doctah!!
That's section 43. Kazoo Guy. He does that Rock n Roll Part II song on kazoo and wears socks on his earsNote to self: Never sit in sections 40-46.
L: I said it right away when they said it was boos. If they show people behind the dugout booing him, I'll say Terrible Job by them. I'd never boo Papi.
And you people thought we were out of it when we were down 7-0? Tsk, tsk.
:)
Tek didn't get any lucky breaks that time. Not sure I like those ultra-high socks.
43's the last section. Even from the top of that section you can't even really hear the guy or tell he's playing a kazoo. I finally found out what the hell was going on with him when a blogger interviewed the guy.
I'm trying to think of something as preposterous as Sox fans booing Flo. Having trouble...
... Booing oxygen?
You're positive they weren't saying "Yooooook"?
This game is long. Only the top of the 7th and almost three hours. Good thing we are back on the East Coast.
Jere, I know you said it right away. Your later comments were what I was referring to, though.
* * * *
When it comes to booing, there is nothing anyone could ever say that would justify it to me.
Benjamin, to me it didn't sound like Yoooooking. It sounded distinctly like booing.
Cameraman needs a defibrillator.
Note to self: Have everyone at JoS1 boo Ortiz and see what Laura does.
booing the other team is ok right?
Shut up Allan :)
Oh shit, of course it's ok to boo the other team. I'm only on about booing your own players.
1 2 3
It sounded like booing to me also. But sometimes they are saying Youk, and I hear boo at first until I realize Youk is coming up to bat. So hard to know for sure, but Remy thought it was booing also, and he is in the park.
Note from my nephew, via my mom who's babysitting him, from when it was 7-0 Baltimore:
"don't worry. I saw a football game once that was 57 to nothing and the nothing team won."
I had only one earphone in, so I could not say for sure.
But I do know for sure that he has been booed before. That is some seriously fucked up shit. Even the usual excuses about booing your stars (frustration, not hatred) make no sense when talking about guys like Tizzle (or Foulke, man that pissed me off something fierce in 05).
Remy, during break: "... is this CVS pharmacy coming back?"
silence
then commercial..
Rather nice game for Nick tonight.
Another lucky break for us. Weird.
Green got to first and stopped like a T-ball player who only ran there because they said he'd get a free ice cream.
Two things I hate:
1. Fans booing their own players, in person.
2. Red Sox fans acting like they're so much better than other fans.
Put the two together, and Allan will have a great time laughing at me.
He might be getting ice cream. This ain't Girardi's Yankees.
Yay My Boy!
LBJ's allowed to get two hits in a game?
There's nobody better than Red Sox fans! Ha!
Is there a shortcut to publish a comment without scrolling to the publish link? (I just learned that I could scroll to the bottom of the page by pressing End, so I am wondering what else I am missing. All these years of pressing the down arrow over and over....)
LBJ! And FY up at bat!
And I really did think Yankee fans booing their own more than anyone else was a widely known fact, but we'll just disagree on this.
We should win by 7 runs, just for the symmetry.
Hey, everyone. Just got in. What a game! I was listening to it on the radio where Castig appears to be doing most of the game which is abnormal. O'Brien's right there but Joe's calling his innings. Strange.
Anyways, during the comeback in the 5th they talked to Pumpsie Green which was very interesting. Very pleasant man and rather entertaining.
At one point Joe said something that made me crack up: "Varitek's balls have a lot of english tonight!"
Please, Papi.
Amy we are of one mind. I just today began using End as opposed to the carpal tunnel inducing down arrow jamming.
For years and years and years before 2004, I always said that no one hates their own players more (or at least more intensely when they do hate them) than Red Sox fans.
I will take winning by one run, though a seven run lead would be sweet.
OK, Papi, show those booing assholes a thing or three.
For years and years and years before 2004, I always said that no one hates their own players more (or at least more intensely when they do hate them) than Red Sox fans.And thus the genuine concern for Tim Wakefield after the 2003 LCS right?
Oh sure, a Jere Widely Known Fact. I know those well.

Depending on your browser, you may be able to tab+enter.
This is basically the same situation as last year when he was slumping early. Got a slam and then his BA started going up.
Are you serious, Andy, or just mocking me? I felt SO stupid when I finally figured out that I did not have to keep manually scrolling down. It would be nice to have company.
It's painful to watch pitchers challenge Papi and get away with it.
"Varitek's balls have a lot of english tonight!"
LOL
"For years and years and years before 2004, I always said that no one hates their own players more (or at least more intensely when they do hate them) than Red Sox fans."
I take it you've never been to a Phillies game?
Ah, snap, K.
Okay L. You're a Red Sox fan from 2003 or before. It's Opening Day 2004. Grady Little has returned as Sox manager and he's announced on the PA and you're in the park. What do you do?
Fuck.
That time it sounded like YOUK, not BOO.
SHIT!
Fuck.
Yeah that whole shadenfreude thing is good evidence of jere's point.
Fail.
Slow bat. And fouling off pitches he used to crush.
***
Hate: Nothing is absolute. But there existed such a huger target for hate in that game, I can understand Wake not getting any. (Maybe a few fans hatred Wake.)
Amy, we told you that shortcut before, but you said it didn't work and you had to scroll. Maybe you updated your browswer or something?
* * * *
squander
Testing the Tab + Enter thing.
With all the lefties the O's have it should be Oki time now.
Yup. That worked!
Please hold the lead, Oki.
Okay L. You're a Red Sox fan from 2003 or before. It's Opening Day 2004. Grady Little has returned as Sox manager and he's announced on the PA and you're in the park. What do you do?Grab my knife and run on the field -- and hope I can fight my way through the other 25,000 knife-wielding fans to get a stab or three in.
Hate: Nothing is absolute. But there existed such a huger target for hate in that game, I can understand Wake not getting any. (Maybe a few fans hatred Wake.)Yeah. Luckily Mr. Gump was the scapegoat in that one.
Nope, more Ramirez.
I knew what you would do Allan.
Laura, your memory is SCARY! Yes, I got a new computer in January when the backlight on my screen died. But I have no memory of asking before. So I am both stupid and forgetful!
If that man had returned as manager, I would not be in the park that day.
I might be in prison for killing John Henry, but I wouldn't be at Fenway.
(I boo'd him in Dodger Stadium!)
ANd L, don't tell me managers don't count!
I was the only person in Yankee Stadium not booing Chuck Knoblauch one night...
Killing the owner okay, booing Frank Castillo not okay?
I might be in prison for killing John Henry, but I wouldn't be at Fenway.**
JH was the guy who wanted him fired after 2002. And who turned to Werner (?) after Gump walked away from the mound in the 8th and said: "Can we fire him now?"
He was not a scapegoat! He was GUILTY.
Speaking of Knoblauch, did you all see the tribute that Keith Olbermann did when his mother died? I had not known that she had been hit in the face by an errant Knoblauch throw. It was a very sweet and touching tribute.
Knoblauch: There's a good example of why fans should be allowed to boo their own. When it's justified only though.
Rammy getting tired?
I saw the Olberman thing--as someone who knew about the Knoblauch thing, I knew exactly where he was goin' with it. It was good.
"JH was the guy who wanted him fired after 2002. And who turned to Werner (?) after Gump walked away from the mound in the 8th and said: "Can we fire him now?""
Re JH, of course I know that. That's why I can threaten his life retroactively. Because I'm joking.
NOW HIS MASK IS OFF!!!!
He was not a scapegoat! He was GUILTY. • Yes but in a situation like that someone would have been blamed even if Gump didn't do anything wrong. Saying that does sound weird. Doesn't sound possible.
But you're right. Guilty is the better word.
Bleh.
Uh oh.
key keeping them on 1st and 2nd. Goddamn I still wish we could've scored at least ONE with loaded/no out. Boooooooooooo
Yes Jere, I'm saying that murder is ok but booing is not. Uh-huh.
Here's the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hxD5OFRDK4g
Oh well, that didn't work
a dp would give create some english in my pants.
I'd like to play Laura in that hockey arcade game under that big plastic dome. I'd be on that boo button all game long! haha
LOL @ Redsock. Mine too.
when we're at fenway, can you imagine what will happen if someone nearby boos ortiz?
that'll be some fun.
A's 8, Jays 5
Alright Oki, enough dancing around, throw a pitch.
Here
Olbermann was just a sports guy then, he didn't have the political gig. It was such a bizarre and hilarious coincidence that that's who the ball hit.
Wow, I didn't know N.M. had such all pro-stats.
If JE had been deking, Jones woulda been screwed.
Two away, Oki, just get this one out. PLEASE.
WHy does Pap look even weirder than everyone else in that hat???
Nice link Amy!
Shut up Allan!
shut up, me?
i meant i might get ejected.
K! We're 3 away
YES!!
is that a scone in your pocket or did jeemer just get out of that jam?
WOO!
Gotta love that splitter/changeup/forkball/whatever the hell it is.
I was laughing when I said it. I thought you were just enjoying seeing me riled up.
As you are known to do.
A scone? Aren't we the optimist.
A win will let us pick up a game on the Jays!
"is that a scone in your pocket or did jeemer just get out of that jam?"
LOL
just rolls off the tongue, too
HEY!
scone -- jam
get it?
Thanks, Laura. It only took a few tries.
ON BASE MACHINE!
Drew had three walks, but no cycle.
boooooo silence
Ready for Papelbon.
Lowell, run it out, it's the Orioles
Oh this is horseshit. They show some poor kid and say he only "likes" the Red Sox while the drunken college dancing fans "really love" the Red Sox for some stupid ad. In fact, it's the same thing as that commercial which I commented on a few days ago--the one that says dancing people are the best fans. So dumb.
How can you tell if Lowell runs it out or not?
dancing fans > booing fans
Broken glove?
ok, one down
That was a manipulative, obnoxious ad. I agree, Jere.
and two
Phew, that one had me worried.
whew - fuck zauny bench.
B2B 1 pitch outs, nice.
the ad is definitely gross
I feel like DOn had to have felt bad about being forced to make fun of that kid.
Has Pie done any dessert commercials?
That last fly ball may have been a dong at YS.
Pie = Pee-ay? What language is that?
One more out.
He's trying to be all Pooootz with his name.
It's PIE! Like America! PIE!
"good bye Pie" yells one fan
Pie, after HBP: "You wanna a piece of me?"
should be Good Beeyay Pie
You mean it really is pronounced PIE and Don is turning it into something French or something??
One more strike.
Water.
dirty pie filling
Water!
Dirty Water and Pap's making english in HIS pants!
And three!
Great comeback, great win. One big fat I TOLD YOU SO to all you fuckers! :)
Felix Pie is from the Dominican Republic.
YES!! They win! They overcome a 7 run deficit and we look like fools for doubting them (except Laura).
No, I'm being silly.
"You wanna a piece of me?"
HA HA
The guy is still on the All Food Team.
Bot gettin' his pie on!
Jim Ed changed out of his Cosby sweater during the game.
G'night all, see you soooooooon.
(Were those boos, or was she just saying see you soon????)
Uh, Amy....I never gave up either.
Wow! What a win!
This is where we turn the season around. I can feel it!
Good game, all. The first one I have been able to watch and thread through the entire nine innings. And I learned a few short cuts and remembered how to do italics and links. AND THE RED SOX WON!
An all round good evening.
YES!! They win! They overcome a 7 run deficit and we look like fools for doubting them (except Laura).
Eh. The Os had already given up two 10-run games this season, so it was definitely possible.
By which I mean three 10+ run games.
Jere, you were obsessing about the uniforms so I didn't notice what you were saying about the game. Didn't mean to lump you in with all us negative types.
And another 9-run game.
massive cum production
Basically the Os have given up a lot of runs.
"Didn't mean to lump you in with all us negative types."
It's ok--just so you know, I'm one of the 'never give up' guys. Ask Nix, ha.
(The first time I e-met him I got pissed at him for saying a game was over before it was or something. But we's best o' buddies now.)
Hey hey hey!
Looks a good night.
Just gt in from temple where I got to meet Bill Jonas, who perfomed during service tonight.
(NO!, he's NOT one of the Jonas brothers)
During services my phone buzzed and when I checked it during not-so-reverent part of the proceeding there was picture from the inside of Citi Park with a message from my son saying "wish you were here".
The dog - he got to see Gary Sheffield hit his 500th home run!
Shabbat shalom, SoSock. That's a great story about your son. Is he a Mets fan? How old is he? Does he live in NY?
Oh no - Red Sox all the way!
Grew up with me , ya know.
He's just working in NY this week and apparently got a chance and took advantage. His job tkes him all over. I get those kinds of messages every so often.
So he says this was game 2 in the new park. True? I thought this was the second series there. Wasn't Jere at a game earlier, or was that the exhibition?
By the way - any of you with kids should check out Biily Jonas if you never have.
Kids music that adults can get into as well. He's a "repercussionist". Interactive music that features found item percussion and incredibly intelligent lyrics that any kid of any age can appreciate.
"Benjamin said...
At least with these Orioles, no lead is safe."
8:12 pm. Just saying.
One big fat I TOLD YOU SO to all you fuckers! :)Word!
Fun game and thread to review. Woulda liked to been 'round. Some classic quotes in this thread. emma and I GameDayed it to see 'em tie it up, after looking at photos of camelback mountain on the google.
I said 4th, Laura 6th. I like the average.
Damn. Just realized I posted this in the New Eng. blog post:
