Red Sox - 000 420 320 2 - 13 15 2
Rockies - 200 006 012 0 - 11 18 0
Dustin Pedoria hit three home runs, including a two-run shot in the 10th, to lead the Sox to a wild victory in Colorado.It was the first three-homer game by a Red Sox player since Kevin Millar went deep three times against the Yankees on July 23, 2004.
Pedroia reached base six times in six plate appearances, with a double in the first, a solo home run in the fourth, a walk in the fifth, a single in the seventh, a two-run homer in the eighth, and the two-run bomb in the 10th.
He scored four runs and tied a career high with five RBI (also on June 15, 2007 and September 2, 2008). Pedroia reached base six times on September 10, 2008, in a 14-inning loss to Tampa Bay (two doubles, two HBP, one walk, and one reached on error).
Jonathan Papelbon blew a two-run lead in the ninth inning, allowing three consecutive one-out singles. After the Red Sox took the lead in the top of the 10th, however, he got the Rockies in order in the bottom half.
Adrian Beltre singled, doubled, and homered, scoring three times and driving in three runs. Jason Varitek and Mike Cameron each had a two-run double.
The Red Sox and Rays are 2.0 GB the Yankees.
Mike Lowell will likely be placed on the disabled list before tonight's game because of hip discomfort. That will open up a spot for Matsuzaka.Scutaro, SS

The timetable for Josh Beckett's return in late July or early August.
On May 22, Hammel had a 7.52 ERA. In his five starts since then, he has allowed only three runs in 34.1 innings (0.74 ERA). Last Friday, he extended his scoreless-innings streak to 25.1. Hammel faced the Red Sox eight times in 2006-08 as a member of the (Devil) Rays.
The Rays beat the Padres 5-3 this afternoon to move into second place in the East. The Yankees, who are off tonight, are 2.0 GA of the Rays and 2.5 GA of the Red Sox. Boston is in third place, yet only one team in MLB has more wins.
Padres/Rays, 12:00 PM
1911 - Cardinals player-manager Roger Bresnahan is called out on strikes by umpire Bill Klem to end the game. When Bresnahan argues too long over the call, Klem punches him -- and is later fined $50.
2005 - The Mets become the first National League to hit three sacrifice flies in one inning. It happens in the second inning of a 6-4 win over the Yankees.

Wimbledon note from earlier post: "Isner and Mahut obliterated the record for the longest set in Wimbledon history by 100 games (Mark Philippoussis vs Sjeng Schalken, 2000 Wimbledon, 20-18). Their fifth set ended 70-68.
Old record: 38
New record: 138
To break Bonds's 73 home run season by a similar amount, you'd have to hit 265 HR.
Thought I would check EI to see what feed we are (probably) getting tonight. It says there is a Dual Feed, both networks. Hmmmm ...

Wine is being drunk, steaks are on the grill!
no nesn...
Here we are, me, Allan and Tim, full of steak, asparagus and red wine.
Steaks were fantastic, so was gazpacho.
Rockies feed @ A+Ls, not so much.
steak, asparagus and red wine
not necessarily in that order.
Good evening, Tim and hosts. Hope it is cooler up there in the Yukon. Damn hot here in New England. Not sure how long I can hold this laptop on my lap.
I am STILL steaming about last night. And tonight is DiceK. A Red Sox fan can only take so much agony. I hope DiceK does not disappoint.
Your first gazpacho, right, Tim? I used to love it...til I could no longer digest raw tomatoes and onions. I miss it.
It's freezing up here in the Yukon. We're wearing Gore-tex and 3 pairs of socks.
I must say I didn't have any agony last night. Just bloody marys.
I should have been drinking. Tonight at least I had a beer...with fruit in it, in honor of Ish. Blue Moon with a slice of orange.
It's freezing up here in the Yukon. We're wearing Gore-tex and 3 pairs of socks.
That's why we in the States love you Canadians. You all are so funny.
fuck yeah-ouble!
Yeah, first gazpacho. Was tasty, I've gotta make it sometime now that L's given me the secret recipe.
Its only a matter of time before I won't be able to eat that stuff, with the way the hole in my stomach is going.
And Amy, its time to put that steam towards spinach!
amy - gotta drink to keep up.
Steamed spinach I can always eat! I love spinach.
LOB 1
there goes the no-walker
Uch, DiceK being DiceK already.
One beer is not enough to watch this.
OK, Dice-K, you can get started now. No need to wait until there's 3 guys on base...
Make yourself a cosmo?
you KNEW he was picthing
gotta stock up
Where the heck is Felix Doubront when you need him?
I dunno about felix, but dice better reach into his bag of tricks soon.
If I were hanging out with you guys, I would be having more. But sitting here and drinking by myself? Too sad and pathetic.
Harv is here, but he is working, not drinking and watching baseball.
OUTS PLEASE
I want a pitcher, not a glass of water.
Actually, I am having a glass of water right now.
water ain't gonna get it done.
Allan: is it possible the Japanese word for "ball" sounds exactly like the word for "out"?
Oh, man.
thanks dice. making me walk home.
Nope, water is not doing it for me.
I need a pitcher...of beer.
amy's buddy -- richardson -- up
So... Beckett is out til late July, at the earliest. DiceK cannot pitch. Lackey can hit but not so sure about his pitching.
Can we survive on HH, Lester and Wakefield? Are there pitchers we can get somewhere?
THERE ARE NO OUTS
yer callin' a hell of a game, cap'n cactus.
send farrell out to the mound:
"What the SHIT dice? dont you know tim, allan and laura are watching the game together!?? get your shit together!"
One game at a time, eh
Argh, I should have eaten supper earlier. I forgot the old rule that you should allow 30 minutes after eating before watching Dice-K pitch.
Sometimes I still think back to all the excitement about DiceK and wonder...WTF? who is this guy?
Hey, it's not Tek's fault that Dice K can't find the strike zone.
I hear Richardson and I think either Elliot or Bobby. Weird, huh?
nice!
There are TWO outs!
36 pitches. Maybe he can get through three whole innings.
I forgot the old rule that you should allow 30 minutes after eating before watching Dice-K pitch.
I had a great laugh over this.
where the hells the thin air i keep hearing about?!
K 3 of last 4 batters
DICE!
Tek threw out a baserunner!
WHOA!!!!
HAHAHAHAHA
Perhaps DiceK can get a hit? LOL
Pretty quiet here tonight. No one wants to watch DiceK?
You're just missing out on all the action in Mississauga, Amy!
I like translating comments into French or Italian every now and then with the Google translation function. We all sound so cosmopolitican.
Cosmopolitan.
And I didn't even drink any.
Yes, Tim, it sounds like more fun up there than down here where I am entertaining myself by translating comments.
Except we're all freezing out on the tundra. I think I see a polar bear outside.
Polar bears! So what is all this nonsense about global warming anyway?
Oh god Dice, like we need you to hit batters.
No polar bears, only Tala.
Tala the arctic wolf
Tim, did you bring your dog?
Fuck yeah!
FUCK YEAH DONG!!!!!
FY HR
FUCK YEAH BABY!!!!!!!!
Laser! FY!
Diehard, it's nice to see you in gamethreads now. I haven't been around much, but still, welcome.
Shift this! says Papi.
Hey, we are alive!
A Beltre half-homre
Winston's at home with Steph, I'm living at a university in Toronto for the month of June (long story) which is pretty close to Allan and Laura's so we decided to get together for this game!
He would love the backyard and would totally annoy Tala/Cody soooo much, hopefully we'll bring him for the wmtc bbq in august.
YAAAAY Bogar!
FY!!
I'm here, but also spending time with my daughter and meeting her boyfriend for the first time. So, not posting much.
Enjoy your time and company up there Tim.
Come on, Tek. Be hot 2010 Tek, not cold 2009 Tek.
Meeting the daughter's boyfriend---that's always awkward. How old is she?
Tek showing frustration.
ack - no sac? fuckin' cactus
Diehard, it's nice to see you in gamethreads now. I haven't been around much, but still, welcome.
Thanks! I had to boycott my own site when I had a Papi-basher at the beginning of the year, but it's much more fun with a good crowd here.
YES!!
She's 20. She just got back from studying abroad for a month and will be spending the rest of the summer in Williamsburg (VA). She's only home for a week or so.
Not awkward at all. Nice guy. And, he's a Red Sox fan.
YAYYYYY NEW DR. MIKE DOUBLES!!!!!!
OK, here's the thin air!
Here we go!
We lead. BUT remember we need at least a 4 run lead to keep Papelbon from pitching.
And, he's a Red Sox fan.
Sounds like a keeper!
Wow, a Sox fan! That's all I need to know. :)
Boycott your own site? Why not just ban the miscreant?
Maybe our pitchers really should be in the NL.
DICE RIBEYE!
Dice does something good tonight!
Amy, you're already complaining about Papelbon?? :)
Hit parade
I would trade Papelbon now before he loses all value. Yeah, I do not trust him at all.
This dice guy isnt all that bad anymore!
But you know if we trade him, he'll turn into Mariano overnight
"Why can't we get closers like that?"
Back to the rickshaw story.
You are probably right---then he will say it was the pressure of playing in Boston.
Wow, nice!
Nice catch! Dice says thank you.
Hey, thats a speedy CF we got!
We have the stupid Colorado feed, no rickshaw (pedicab) story here.
speedy CF :(
Oh, well, you can just fill in the blanks. Jerry and Don STILL talking about it.
Hard to believe it is only the 4th inning. Last night we had to be in at least the 6th at this point. I will be turning this one off soon.
Hey, did you all see that ski boot on the field?
This boot is unknown to us.
Yeah, I was just checking to see if anyone was here. Sort of like when I drop something absurd into something I am saying to Harvey to see if he was paying attention.
BELTRE belts it out!
BEL-TRE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
SNAKES ALIVE!!!!
Homre!
BELTS ONE
What's this aboot a boot?
So there was no ski boot?
Benjamin: I was about to write homre, but I don't know why.
No, there was no ski boot. Just me being childish.
So apparently Beltre does not like anyone to touch his hair, and they were all trying to touch his hair when he returned to the dugout.
(Not sure they showed that on the CO feed.)
Laura: it's the citizenship talking.
The hair story, btw, is true, not another ruse by me to see if you are listening.
beltre hates when anyone rubs his head. he supposedly almost punched victor over it a few weeks ago.
Boycott your own site? Why not just ban the miscreant?
He was a long-time poster and I really only ban yankee fans and spammers. It was the part of the season when I was avoiding a lot of different sites and writers because the negativity and rudeness was getting to me. I had to laugh when I realized I was avoiding my own game threads forum. I just didn't want to have to argue every night, and if I ignored it, it would look like I was in agreement.
He seemed to be taking it in good humor this time.
Or humour, to you three.
OK, got to get some sleep. Enjoy the rest of the game.
What day are you going to one of the games @ SF?
Drew will get a PH here, Dice is done.
Diehard, I hear you. I know what you mean. But if someone is driving you from your own site, you might have to bend your own rules. You should feel comfortable in your own home. IMO. IMNSHO.
Wow, slow game. I got home earlier than this last night and it was already in the 7th. Or was that night before last? They all kinda run together this time of year.
Yup, we took an oath to the Queen and how we have to say eh after every sentence and eat maple syrup every day.
I'm going on Sunday @SF. When's Ellsbury due back, by the way?
Good night Amy!
Probably too late...
Good night---I just came back to boot it down and go to sleep.
Hope they win!
I would look for a ticket on StubHub but I have family visiting this weekend.
So, looking back thru the scorebox, appears that Dice walked 3 and gave up 2 hits in the 1st, but has been pretty good since. 1 more walk and 3 hits. About sum it up?
MDC is being almost as effecient at screwing up a perfectly good game as Pap was last night.
Pretty much, it was a dicey first. (ha)
And we went all Empire Strikes Back on Mr. Hammil there.
I have never thought much of MDC
I ate some maple syrup earlier tonight for no reason in particular. Does that make me Canadian?
A dicey first? - badabing
MDC just loaded the bases for no reason in particular. Does that make him shitty?
I believe it does. I believe it does.
I believe you are correct.
Some guy named Robert Manuel has a .95 ERA over 39 innings at the Paw Sox, why isn't this guy getting called up?
True, L-girl! But I've found it so much less stressful to just let redsock do all the game-thread work, and then just pop by when I get the chance. ;-) It's harder than it looks, so much appreciation!
Benjamin: yes. But only if you say "eh" after you eat it.
Some guy named Robert Manuel has a .95 ERA over 39 innings at the Paw Sox, why isn't this guy getting called up?
He was with the team this weekend but didn't get into a game. He just got sent back down to make room for.... I forget who, Reddick?
Oh fuck.
Diehard: he doesn't do any work, just complains about the announcers. :)
Why would I say that. Cold maple syrup on a hot summer day is very refreshing. I was hardly ambivalent.
Unlike about our relief pitching.
Can we send Dice-K in to clean up this mess and hope no one notices?
Yeah, sent down for Reddick.
Is Bard the only serious pitcher we have in our damn pen?
THERE ARE STILL NO OUTS
SoSock: yes
We cannot get a break this series
MDC - 3 batters faced, all on, 2 of them already scored. If Herrera scores he'll be in Papelbon territory!
Look out for The Knee!
Ooh, nice catch!
There's one.
With F5, Beltre avoids a throwing error.
Pleassssse - Be Houdini Hideki
I see out(s), and no run(s)!
YAY!
Isn't Olivo a switch hitter anyways?
Wiggle Okie, wiggle
But "eh" is not about ambivalence. It's about... I dunno. Being Canadian.
It's like saying "huh" or "yeah".
Refreshing???
:(
shit.....
Nice range by the first baseman!
Move your ass Oki!
Legitimate infield single? Or single because you have a DH playing first?
FFS
Per meunier - maybe a single because your pitcher didn't hustle?
whoo hoo, free tacos
Infield single because Oki couldn't cover first in time.
damn damn damn
yay - free tacos.
i like tacos
This Colorado team looks like the 2004 Sox to me right now.
Death by 1000 cuts, a Texas league, 45 foot spin ball, slow pitcher..
Rockies have batted around now.
ram ram - I'm heading to the shower. 5th night in a row of practice and it's hot as a mofo down here right now. 98 today. And BOTH teams practiced. Older guys 5:30 - 7. Jrs 7 - 9. I threw bp the to both teams Tuesday, 1 team last night, and 1 1/2 tonight. After half of the 2nd team my arm went on strike.
Runs, please.
I wonder if our bullpen didn't practice in the thin air here enough, they havn't been THIS bad.
DNFTT PLS
I wouild like to see us back in front when I return all refreshed and sparkly clean
Here we come!
Papi, cut this man.
OK, now we're talking. C'mon big Papi.
RSVP
good times time.
"Boston's ready to get on a plane and head to SF"
Ya, ok then. They will do that, Rockies announcers.
After they beat your shit team
Anyone hear of the book or movie titled "In the time of the Butterflies"?
1 run game.
passedoliva!
Gotta leave the thread in order to stay awake... be back for dirty water.
CACTUS HALF DONG!
CACTI POWER!!!!!!!!!!
CACTI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Suck it, Rockies!
Tek!
I wouild like to see us back in front when I return all refreshed and sparkly clean
You called it. May your shower be clean but our water be dirty.
Some runs is better than no runs.
Well now. Perhaps I should make more shower-time requests. Since that worked out so well, could someone fetch me a dirty martini and a nice plate of homemade pita slices and salsa?
201?
