Red Sox - 312 101 100 - 9 14 0The Sox jumped on Berken (3-10-6-2-3, 68) right away, as Jacoby Ellsbury and Victor Martinez walked, and Kevin Youkilis, Jason Bay (1-0) and Mike Lowell singled (3-0) in the first. Boston finished the season with a 16-2 record against Baltimore.
Orioles - 000 201 000 - 3 9 0
Ellsbury (3-for-4, BB, shown stealing base #63 above) doubled in two runs in the third and homered in the seventh. Bay crushed a dong (#35) in the fourth and was HBP with the bases loaded in the sixth. Alex Gonzalez singled and doubled and scored twice.Dice (5.1-8-3-1-5, 110) was good enough. His fastball command was spotty throughout the game and he relied more on breaking stuff. He allowed at least one baserunner in each inning, but did not walk a man until the fifth -- his 23rd batter. In fact, he had only three three-ball counts.
The Rangers lost to the Angels 10-5, so the Red Sox's Wild Card lead is now up to eight games. The Mariners lit up Joba and the Yankees 7-1, so Boston is now only 5 GB in the East (four in the loss column).
Tony Massarotti, September 18:
Six games up with 17 to play, the Red Sox once again seem destined for October. Under the circumstances, at the risk of jinxing them, maybe it is time to give the Red Sox their due.Tony, we've been over this. It's okay to say nice things about the Red Sox. Jinxes do not exist. Really.
Why is Nick Green giving himself a haircut?

Yawn! Rolling off the couch at the crack of noon just in time for a sox game?!
Fucking sweet!!!
Do you think Adam Kilgore is put on the pre-game less because of his stutter? And if so, is that...okay? Obviously if you lack the skills to speak on TV, they're not gonna put you on. But if your disability happens to involve speaking, I don't think that should come into play when they're deciding who to put on. Yet I've only seen him maybe three times talking on TV. I think NESN are anti-stuttites.
I don't think I have ever seen or heard Kilgore. How severe is it? It can't be much more jarring than listening to Rice, who hasn't constructed a proper sentence since 1997.
Threading time! Just been out and about with my sister which is always a great time. Very entertaining.
I bought orange sunglasses. I'm not sure why! But apparently they look badass.
I want to see the Red Sox do some jerken of the Berken today.
bay-ses loaded.
Bases loaded in the first inning?
Nice
Thunderous single!
WTF where you looking for ON FIRE
Rx Bandit!
RxBIs!
there's your lead, dice. keep it.
Dice-KKK
Sit, sit, and SIT
Here's my Andy Comment of the Day...
If Dice keeps pitching like this, things will be going into rearrange mode in my pants!
I could go for 16-2!
Bass on Base
16-2 what?
I love the Orioles.
Blue RBI!
shatner's thinking about jerkin' his berken.
the orioles are taking stock of berken.
get it? ...
berken stock
aaaa-hahahahahaahah
16-2 vs. the O's for the season.
"I don't think I have ever seen or heard Kilgore. How severe is it? It can't be much more jarring than listening to Rice, who hasn't constructed a proper sentence since 1997."
Ha--I was thinking something similar when right after I wrote that, I heard a bit of Daubach, who almost sounded worse than Kilgore anyway. He's super-stiff.
But yeah, Kilgore's clearly a stutter as opposed to "he's nervous being on TV." Will say the same word three times in a row, etc.
Berken-stock. :>)
"results-based business"
i could see them limiting his time if it was hard to ignore. you don't have to be attractive, but you do have to speak smoothly. and i say that as person with a slight stutter.
two hits. NO WALKS!
maybe i have heard him. i have some hazy memory of seeing a young writer with a clear stutter on during a game. maybe one rare time i had the pre-game? could have someone else on another station, though, too.
go dice!
berken and dice both at 40 thru 2.
A V-TEK HIT! What are the chances of that? Two in ten?
My computer must be malfunctioning, it says the Cactus just got a base hit.
2-13/100 out of ten, actually.
SEABASS is raking!!!
Sea Bass 2-2!
Lyndouble!
Utter destruction.
this game bores the mighty seabass. he is amusing himself today by going for the cycle in order.
Batting practice has been going on for an hour. When's this game gonna START?
this club is looking mighty sharp as the playoffs loom.
312
... keep it going!
Very convenient double play.
Sit

I've had the TV on mute in the background as I work on a video project.
Did NESN show an error on the Sox line? I'm not seeing it on GDGD.

312 13 naturally..
no errors, unless they switched a single off of seabass.
then again last night, i was working and glanced at my computer and saw balt 4, bos 3 at the top. that was a mistake, though i went away for 5 minutes thinking lester had coughed up the lead again!
By the way, the person who said Babe Ruth would "fuck anything with hair" wasn't identified in your book, RS. Just "a friend", I think.
NESN was still showing it after the break. Haven't been watching close enough to know what it was or wasn't. I just keep looking up and seeing more guys cross the plate.
doh. wrong guys crossing the plate.
Yargh. Shoulda walked him!
Crap
i think i may have seen kilgore on a video from spring training on the Globe's website.

bastards.
Hard to score when you bat two pitchers in an inning.
I propose:
312 101 213
000 202 000
I assume that's probably all from Dice for today. I'm satisfied with the results.
94. you think that's it? maybe one more.
only relievers that did not go yesterday were jeemer, bard and bot. (and tazawa and bowden).
i say he gets the 6th
If we beat the O's today are we 16-2 against them?
Loaded again
RBIHBP!
still going according to plan...
I guess with a six run lead they might send him back out and see if he can get through the inning quickly. I was just thinking they might not want him to get his pitch count up since he just got off the DL like a week ago.
On the other hand, those are pitches he didn't have to throw earlier in the season. Lots fewer miles on his arm this season.
there goes the no-no.
If we beat the O's today are we 16-2 against them?
yes, someone explained it for me an hour and 10 minutes ago, but thanks! :>)
Crap
Alright, I'll take that.
312 101
we need 2!
Ells doing his part for 2!

oh that's a FY play!
TEX loses 10-5.
8 GA in WC!
Stoopid GDGD has Rodriguez replacing Wieters at C in the top 9th. He was in for the top of the 8th. Zzzzzzzzzzz ....
Fact Masterson!
um, don, dice allowed 8 hits today, not 4.
another game-ending dp pls
GDGD still frozen two pitches into the first Oriole at bat this inning.
have a slice of pie, saito.
The water is Muddy!!!
"The Rangers lost to the Angels 10-5, so the Red Sox's Wild Card lead is now up to eight games."
And the east lead can be down to 5, 4 in the loss today--Joba gives up 7 through 2! His ERA's creeping toward 5....
Catching the MFY includes sweeping them next weekend. Even taking 2 of 3 will not do.
and ...
