Yankees - 002 130 242 - 14 17 0Shoulda called it.
Red Sox - 003 000 000 - 3 8 1
Game resumed at 6:25. Martinez fouled out to second against Alfredo Aceves to end the fifth. Manny Delcarmen is taking over for Buchholz (5-9-6-5-1, 93; 1 unearned run).
Rain delay at 5:11 with a 2-2 count on Victor Martinez, a runner on first and two outs in the bottom of the fifth.
In the space of two pitches, the sky opened up and suddenly sheets of rain were coming down. Because the Red Sox are still batting in the bottom of the fifth -- though Sabathia was one strike away from ending the inning -- the game is not official.
If the weather allows:
Scutaro, SS
Pedroia, 2B
Martinez, C
Youkilis, 1B
Lowell, DH
Drew, RF
Beltre, 3B
Hall, LF
McDonald, CF

I liked Posnanski's article until this line: "Derek Jeter, in aura, is today’s DiMaggio." I can't believe they were mentioned in the same sentence, and hope it never happens again.
Is this better?

This will make you puke. Possibly literally. ... You may want to brave it, though, because in it I prove beyond all question that I am the Walt Whitman of the 21st Century.
He did say "in aura," by which I think he means celebrity. It's debatable, but it's not an insane assertion.
Sounds like tarp is coming off and pitchers are warming.
do we have an estimated start time? we need a W!
Starting on time.
Win.
whew. got out of it. now settle down, double H.
Does first inning, by definition, just have to be really hairy?
Nice to see HH get out of that situation which, other than the walk, really wasn't his fault a all.
I'm starting to think so.
caught up on work for the moment. fox video with sox radio ...
Good job, guys. Saving up all the hits for one inning. Like the strategy.
I'm going to say something I shouldn't: the back 1/3 of the Yankee lineup looks pretty bad.
Why shouldn't you say that? Seems like a good thing to say.
Is Cano really in RF?
No, DH.
Sweatingle!
i am going to the kitchen. feel free to bop a dong, mike.
a single? okay.
go, drew!
(FUCK YOU OB, you douche)
alright i fixed my set-up.
just video, no audio!
How do you kill a two on no out rally? How 'bout first guy strikes out, next guy grounds into a double play. Well done!
squander
But at least he didn't LOOK at the third strike.
Because that would have given the Yankees a run ... or something.
How about "an hour of silence"?
BTW L-girl, I don't want to get you too excited as it's far from a sure thing, but based on the job offers I have on the table, I may be moving to nyc.
If that happens, you are going to get *so many* emails from me for suggestions. just sayin'
L-Girl - That's why I shouldn't have said it.
This inning smells bad. Can't start first two guys off 2-0...
Because that would have given the Yankees a run ... or something.
hahahaha
we should develop new baseball rules that properly value things the way sportswriters think they're valued
nationals lead again late. :O
I don't know how accurate MLB's GameDay app is, but it looks like HH is getting squeezed a bit.
Its amazing how different GameDay's strike zone is compared to that of the Sox announcers on EEI.
That's the second 0-2 hit that HH has given up this game.
SNAKE!
DAMN IT! Should've been two..
Mattymatty, because your typing that sentence affected the game? You are very powerful.
Joe, bring it on!! Very cool. Is it a job you want?
SECRET WEAPON strikes again!
now that's a 'wave i like!
DARNELL MC-FUCKING-DONALD!!!
And on that pitch he hit a dong ...
(Am I the first to pull that annoying little gem out for a McDonald hit?)
I'm lovin' it!
Would a grand slam be a Happy Meal?
Yours is better, RS. ("And on that pitch...")
i think i'll avoid referring to destructive, multinational corporations in my quips [sic].
Oooh man, I wish Pedey would charge. P dizzle vs. C.C. behemoth
No, I'd call it a Super Size Dong or something.
On another note, Johnny Damon has the exact same OPS he had all last year (.854). Fewer HRs (1 so far) but a ton of doubles (10).
Pedroia hit intentionally? I was thinking yesterday that they almost had to retaliate.
"Mattymatty, because your typing that sentence affected the game? You are very powerful."
Ha ha! Yes, I guess I am.
What point is Sabathia trying to make by hitting Pedroia? "Hey, don't pitch really badly against my team!"?
what is fox going to say the red sox's original nickname was in that trivia question?
it was proven several years ago that pilgrims and one other one were actually never used.
EXTRA MART!!!!!
E
I
E
I
O
muthahfuckah!!!!!!!
Eat shit!!!! That takes the sting off Pedey's butt.
"Ha ha! Yes, I guess I am."
Then get typing! :)
F U CC! VMart goes deep!!
Blue-light special drives in Big Mac
V-Mart to Pedroia, "I got your back, meng!"
Er....that doesn't work since FY was on base, nevermind
Nice to have a lead
The great thing about the homers is it doesn't give our third base coach the opportunity to send someone to their death.
Dah... Mikey Doubles K's. Good inning though. Time for HH to set 'em down in order.
Joe's talking about Nick Swisher's intangibles.
They're apparently immeasurable!!!
his intangibles contain multitudes.
1. F you, CC!
2. L - it is the type of work I want to do, working with local government on constituent casework, local issues, etc.; I want to do it here in Boston, but I have the chance to go do it in NYC and I may.
We'll be in touch.
3. F you, CC!
hey guys, is anyone else concerned that we're just hitting too many gosh darned home runs?
Beltre is killing me this year. Just killing me.
How many of the Yankees runs are attributable to Beltre?
I forgot this was on Fox! I can watch it without going to The Bar.
Announcer going on about how Winn is wasn't out. What is he smoking?
totally tangible
Cap'n Intangibles grounds out with a runner on third to end the inning. Dude is clutch though.
Do you realize HH has 11 ground outs and 1 fly out?
Giants at 4-4 in the 11th. Rays' Wade Davis had a tough 1st in Oakland...2-0.
both pitchers at 67 thru 4.
Dammit. Lost interwebs again. I think it's my wireless, Timmy's desktop, on the hardwire, hasn't given trouble. Tried rebooting, hopefully I'll be able to stay on.
??? Beltre??? Thought we got him mainly for his defense.
Shit
Te-Shit
or is it Te-shit-ta?
HH definitely doesn't have his best stuff today.
4th BB for HH against 0 Ks.
Saw an earlier commen about HH maybe being squeezed. 2nd pitch to A-hole looked like a strike on GDGD. Of course, that's just GDGD, not a live picture, but still.....
Suck it up Clay
mdc up
I don't think he is getting squeezed. He's missing by right much, some of them bouncing in.
First K for HH.
Biggest hit of the day: back up catcher and 8th place hitter Nobody McShitheal. You CAN'T give up a hit to that guy in that situation. Not good...
:(
OB: CC threw a lot of extra pitches in the third "when he decided to plunk Pedroia".
I assume OB cannot actually read minds, so that's pretty unprofessional. Not that he's any stranger to making up shit about players.
2 for 1 special?
oh no!
YEAH! Call this bad boy -- only one strike before it is official!

Joe & Tim were going on an on about CC intentionally hitting Pedroia and that there was no way that Beckett's HBP were intentional last night.
I think you still have to qualify it somehow. State it as your opinion, not as a concrete, known-to-the-world fact.
So I'm thinking I might try to get in a little yard work. Any way this one is going to be resumed any time soon?
SoSH says FOX said 40 minutes.
And two people said that McMoron compared CC to the Colossus of Rhodes! Sorry I missed that.
we are back!
Aceves in for NY
CIDP!
I wonder if Amy & company stuck around.
2 on and 2 outs for sox in 6th. aceves pitches to hermida and injures himself. looked like his left knee buckled in his follow-thru. he leaves the game, logan in
I deem this game Clownshoes
The only way it gets weirder and delayed-er is when we see a bench-clearing brawl (I give it 3:1 odds)
Castig & Obie lamenting how NYY "can't catch a break" with all their injuries.
Boo hoo.
boo
7-3
OMG - Rays lost.
Rays lost! Rays lost! Rays lost!
And now RamRam hurts himself pitching and HE leaves the game. WTF?
is that "against the unwritten rules", stealing up by 4 in the 7th?
Is the game televised anywhere now? Not on fox or MLBXtra
it's on fx something or other...
8-3
It's on FX
I just got an email from Zip asking if I want to reactive my account. They must be lurking in the thread.
I'm tired of losing to the MFY.
Sox radio lead-in playing AC-DC's "If You Want Blood, You Got It" -- that's sounds like a good sign! RALLY TIME!
Good idea putting Schoeneweis, the last pitcher on the staff, in against the Yankees. Honestly, it should be Tito's job to keep that guy off the mound during the whole series.
That said, our pitching is back to sucking. There seems to be a pretty clear line. When our pitching is good, we win. When it isn't (like yesterday and today) we don't.
dear sox: pls start hitting and scoring so ob and castig will SHUT THE FUCKING HOLY HELL UP ABOUT GODDAMN COLLEGE FUCKING FOOTBALL.
Big boos for the Hut.
...strand a pair...
drink
and keep drinking.
Damn. Get in an hour or so of weeding, transplant a rose bush, and come back to this. Squanderage.
I'm gonna go buy some challah. Manana folks.
bard is up
bad idea -- let schoeneweis finish this one, don't waste a useful arm
... but bard it is.
9-3
ugh
let's lose every game 10-3. FUN!
(that would mean stopping the mfy here, though)
That's it. I'm done for today.
12-3
ugh
ugh
this is not good
JVE warming
Joe Grav has a point.
A, did you just hear OB? Does he think he can remember consecutive taken pitches for the last 20 years? Oy.
i couldn't bear to watch any more. let me know if my bench-clearer prediction comes through.
The Fox guys are suggesting that somebody call Joe West to tell him how long this game is taking.
VAN EVERY pitching
A, did you just hear OB? Does he think he can remember consecutive taken pitches for the last 20 years? Oy.
Not listening.
He didn't even realize McDonald took 17 in a row in the game he had a stroke over JD taking 14!
what did he say? that the 14 was the most he ever saw?
He did one of those "I've been doing MLB on radio since blah-blah-blah and I cannot remember ever seeing a player take 14 consecutive pitches..."
I mean seriously, does he think he would have counted and remembered such a thing?
****
I'm only still listening so I can keep headphones on and not have to listen to my co-worker.
I typed my answer before I saw your question.
*sigh*
14-3
sounds like a moon shot
Truly Teshitta
I hope Amy went home a long time ago.
this comeback is gonna be awesome.
this comeback is gonna be awesome.
LOL
Thank dog that only counts as one loss.
Thank dog it's over!
yuck
Well, that was fun for about the first hour. THEN it sucked. We stayed until 7, but then had dinner reservations we could not miss (never expected the game to run beyond FOUR hours). I am not sorry we left. When we left, the game still was within reach (9-3), sort of. By the time we had walked to the restaurant, it was out of reach. I drank two cosmos, had a great dinner, and forgot about baseball for a few hours. (Remember that I saw this game with two avid Yankee fans...)
I am not sure I can bring myself to watch tonight. One more Yankee blowout is more than I can handle.
Good thing it's only May, but are the trends of the season are beginning to show? I've skipped over the "panic" button and am pressing the "This Sucks" button right now.
However, the standings still look kind of wonky at this point.
Notable teams ahead of the Red Sox right now:
San Diego - 4.5 GA of Boston
San Francisco - 3.0 GA
Washington - 1.5 GA
Oakland - 1.0 GA
Cincinnati - 0.5 GA
Notable teams struggling:
Cubs - 1.0 GB of Boston
Angels - 1.5 GB
Dodgers - 1.5 GB
White Sox - 2.0 GB
Tough to be a baseball fan early this season in Los Angeles in Chicago, too.
Wonky, but still early. Or is it?
I've skipped over the "panic" button and am pressing the "This Sucks" button right now.
Me too.
Doesn't the "this sucks" button come *before* the "panic" button?
What is the list and escalation of buttons?
