Mariners - 102 001 000 - 4 9 2Hernandez (7.1-4-2-1-9, 122) was too much for the Sox bats and Wakefield (5.2-8-4-0-2, 91).
Red Sox - 001 001 000 - 2 5 1
Boston got a third-inning run on Ryan Kalsih's double, an infield error, and wild pitch. J.D. Drew homered in the sixth.
The Sox had a shot at tying the game in the eighth. Pinch-hitter Ball Hall doubled and Drew walked with one out. Brandon League relieved Felix -- and got Victor Martinez on a grounder to first and David Ortiz on a line drive to left. Mike Lowell singled to start the bottom of the ninth, but Daniel Nava hit into a double play and Jed Lowrie flew out.
The Rays lost to the Angels 12-3 and the Yankees lost to the Blue Jays 6-3. Tampa Bay and New York remain tied for first in the East, with Boston 5.5 GB. ... The Red Sox are off on Thursday before starting a weekend series in Tampa Bay.
This afternoon's win was Boston's fourth in a row. The Red Sox had not won four consecutive games since winning six straight in mid-June (June 15-20).Scutaro, SS

In 14 starts since June 13, Hernandez has a 1.54 ERA -- and only a 6-5 record. Two starts ago, on August 15 at Cleveland, he allowed six runs, all unearned. (Which may not be entirely fair. The error came with two outs and no one on; after it, Felix allowed a single, single, double, intentional walk, and a grand slam home run.)

Jays put Downs on trade waivers today.
alright lester, time to not suck like last time.
also, i just realized that i lied to the border on our buffalo escapade - i thought the last time i crossed over was for that hockey game in may - totally forgot about the dead concert i went to in july! guess he didn't care.
Cash, C
Sometimes I completely understand Theo. Other times, I'm perplexed by his decisions.
This is one of the latter.
FKR - 100 000 2
LAA - 404 301
TB batting in 7th
Tito says he likes Cash's defense.
But that really sucks, too, so who knows?
I will miss this one. Well, I will hear it but not be able to thread. GO SOX! Let Lester be Lester.
Bit of change of plans:
Wakefield pitching tonight.
Matsuzaka has a sore lower back and will not pitch against the Rays on Friday. Lester will make that start and Wakefield starts in 10 minutes
Alright, EI: Where is fuckin game?
470 - it's NESN, bitches!
And it's ON!
I just looked at my prediction for the Sox in the 2010 W-L Contest. I said 99-63. For that to happen the Sox will have to go 26-9 the rest of the way.
Felix's last 10 starts: 3-5, 1.67!
In Hernandez's 10 losses, the Mariners have scored a TOTAL of 10 runs.
the Sox will have to go 26-9 the rest of the way
let's get rockin'.
Wakefield in the cold and rain - not good for the knuckle - hope the wind is blowing sideways or in his face!
Tim-E!
Refill the wine glass, have a quick cry with Tala, see a Wakefield error ... and I'm ready to go!
wow - nesn's shows are getting worse.
athletes' houses, fuckin fitzy -- where is sox appeal?
nesn blows.
and the show they say is for dedicated fans, they ask "does player x have enough heart"?
horrible.
why not have some shows with actual sports, historical stuff, classic games?
Lineup is wrong, you have Lowrie as playing 1B also.
thanks, playing 2B now!
Well thought that this would be the last Sox game that b-fly and I watch together but - she's going on another date - YIPPPEEE!!!
MFY - 0
TOR -
shit, felix better not keep that up.
hmm, beltre hot re: K
which was right over the plate
and ejected.
tito out too
tito tossed too
It seems to me there are many reasons why we're at a disadvantage for this game.
Toronto up 2-0 over the Yanks. Second run courtesy of...
PASSEDBALLA!
hmm, was west being a dick to beltre?
fuckin tito is on fire
fill-in ump tossed him?
lovely.
what a crock of shit mlb umps are.
Well Beltre was just tired of getting wet.
This is crazy. A stinkin' call-up ref tosses Beltre and nobody knows why. Then Angel has to come out and **protect** him. Give me a fracken break.
the raindrops were massaging his scalp?
navarro in at 3B
fwiw, the pitch was in amica's zone, but i assume beltre thought it was low.
strand these dicks
Yes, but when was he thrown out? It looked like either he didn't know he was ejected and went out on defense or he was thrown out after going out on defense.
no idea, as of now.
Toronto got out of their jam (an MFY named Nunez grounded out with the bases loaded). Let's get out of ours.
Or not.
Extra Bases says he was thrown out when he went out to third base,"chirping" about the call.
You have to tell them when the last time you crossed the border was?
This game looked like a loss before it started :(
FUCK THESE FUCKIN COMMERCIAL. SHOW THE GODDAMN FUCKING GAME
FUCK THE 99 FUCKING FOOD
If I ran NESN from Cyn's Toeing the Rubber.
Kalish double!
if they ask, yeah.
they have the info on their screen when they ask, of course.
10 run inning here we come!
Damn, missed a lot in just 2 1/2 innings.
Belter and Tito tossed?
Dice hurting - Wakefield starting on a 30 second notice?
Wake makes an error on the 1st play of the game?
What the hell is next?
Wait, maybe I shouldn't ask.....
Trading errors. Please do not squander...
Two PIT players named McCuthchen score one after another on a bases-clearing triple.
maybe scu-scu can tie it up
So there is a way for Cash to reach base.
FELIXBALLA!
must attack for runs
YES - E-6 X 2
ugly, ugly, ugly. take it!
Thank you JOSH WILSON!!!
C-mn Scut. Put it in play at least.
Or just stand there and watch it go to the backstop. Same difference :)
J.D. Fire.... c'mon!
E6 - WP - E6
Now that's baseball.......
make the gifts count.
YES - E-6 X 2
So there is a way to score on Hernandez.
fuck you - no swing
Damn JD......
SF has fallen behind 12-11 going into the bottom of the 12th in a playoff-meaningful game vs CIN. Earlier the Giants were down 10-1.
3-1 in the 3rd? How the fuck did this happen!?
Oh well, got 1 back anyway.
Get your groove going Timmy!
guess that was a 1.0 run inning. minor typo on my part before.
I'm so glad the Customs guys who work the Maine border aren't total douche bags.
tor dong = 4-0
wells dong. tor 4-0, bot 3rd
Why did Beltre get ejected? Did Joe West rub his head or something?
here we go! i had a similar freakout trying to find the game on EI.
yay regular-D feed. stupid rogers.
seems like he bitched about the called strike 3 pitch and a fill-in ump wanted to act tough and ran him.
MFY - 000
TOR - 202
some decent plays from Lowrie there.
beer opened, wine up next and feet up for the night.
how bout a fucking W i can watch now, you scrubs?
i would really enjoy picking up 1.5 on tampa today.
fuck you branyan. all-laxatives team?
atchison up
PA: "This umpiring crew is easily the worst in the majors with publicity-seeking clown Joe West the chief and Angel Hernandez out there. ...
The third strike on Beltre was low and got pulled up by the catcher. Beltre chirped about it from third base when he went out to play defense and Bellino threw him out from 90 feet away.
Beltre came running over and had to be restrained by the other umpires and Kevin Cash. Terry Francona came out to defend his player and also was tossed."
Okay.
"There would seem to be little chance this game ends well for the Sox."
FU, PA!
Good work Timmy!
So I know I could look it up myself, but.....
Did the pen get used much this afternoon? I can't see Wake going more than another inning, maybe 2 before they find their rhythm against him.
Of course, I would love for him to make an asinine fool out of me.
WTF linescores of the day:
ATL - 343 000 000 - 10 14 2
COL - 010 013 304 - 12 14 0
and
CIN - 404 110 001 001 - 12 16 1
SFG - 010 022 060 000 - 11 18 5*
* - 5 errors?! jesus
Sosock, Bard and Pap both pitched this afternoon.
thames dong @ skydome.
4-2 shithawks.
click on red sox on afternoon linescore for the box.
BTW SoSock, I wasn't able to comment on your posts the other night about the bbq and guitar playing. That sounds great. I'm glad you were able to do that. You should join in the guitar playing as much as possible. It's gotta feel good.
Yeah, that sounded like a swell old time. Just remember to bring the air mattress next time :>)
fuck sakes kotch rocket.
Another one from PA re Wakefield:
He has pitched pretty well, all things considered.
What things??
hold the line, timmeh
I like Kalish!
YEAH!
Wakefield pitching, Atchison warming in the bullpen... does that qualify us for Beer League play?
what things?
his own error?
the hits and runs allowed?
?
booooooooo
attell in, i suppose.
felix at 75 pitches, would like to see them take some pitches this inning and get him out of there after 6.
Damn - I was afraid of that. Glad Tito didn't drag it out though. Move on now....
OH FUCK THAT FUCKIN SHIT
maybe attell can get 2 K in 0.1 innings.
Too bad Tito isn't there to praise Cash's defense.
Nice bunt, Dainty Ichiro.
COUNT THE RINGZ!!!
Kevin Cash - 1
Ted Williams - 0
he IS dainty. what a great word.
mo'fucker weighs 84 lbs.
Cash has two rings.
Atch in, I'm OK with that. (he says as if it really matters)
Thanks. Ms GT and Tim. I did have a great time, and was really glad that I ponied up and even took the lead a couple of times. I just get so uptight because I hear every little flaw when I play. I know very few others ever notice, but it's taking a lot of encouragement from friends who play for a living to get it through my head.
Now here's Pubic Chin with dicks on the pond.
if there ain't flaws and bum notes, it ain't rock and roll.
I agree with Rotoworld here:
"Still, it'd be nice to see [Beckett] turn in a quality start against a good offense one of these months."
choda chone?
And he peters out!
0.1 IP
2 K
sweet.
Ask and you shall receive, Tim. Well, this time, anyways...
Crazy stat Tim.
(Cash has one ring with Us and another ring with Them.)
time to make our move.
20-min wait - YEAH!
my point stands - he is a winner. tsw and ernie banks are losers.
my point stands - he is a winner. tsw and ernie banks are losers.
OMG. Since all the talk here and elsewhere, I can't ignore these in-game ads anymore. It is driving me CRAZY.
time to make our move.
MOVING
ON FIRE
FIRE. Werd up!
ok, here they come!!!
ON FIRE DONG!!!!!!!!!!
Such a selfish prick, homers without anyone on base.
SOMEONE SET THE MOVING TRUCK ON FIRE
if there ain't flaws and bum notes, it ain't rock and roll.
:) I'll remember that....
Walking Itchy with 2 outs - not the worst move in the world. Especially when you can follow it with some "K-chone" music
Drew - ON FIRE!! (well, at least in this ab)
do it, wicktor.
we need some good times, flo.
Broken bat flare. Much better when they occur for you instead of against you.
just poured myself a glass of the pelee island pinot noir that i was drinking at A+L's house.
as far as i know, they are undefeated when i consume this wine. therefore, its a lock tonight.
shit - schooled
keep the line movin, rook.
Broken bat flare. Much better when they occur for you instead of against you.
I'd feel the same way about King Felix.
BEEP BEEP HONK HONK THE MOVING TRUCK'S COMING TO YOUR TOWN BEEP BEEP HONK HONK OH SHIT IT'S BROKEN DOWN
... fitzy on his knees blowing the sponsor during the ad for his show. very appropriate.
fuck fitzy.
mdc up
cranking bob mould's "moving trucks" might help.
was going to say, you know what'd be great? an OTT.
well, guess that wont happen. you can start now though, dave. GIDP would also be acceptable.
see athletes "big homes ... and even bigger hearts"
fuck you nesn.
almost. well, another chance for one of 'em.
you pay too much attention, allan. i have no idea what any of these references are to, guess i've just developed an immunity to advertising.
fuck you runner!
hey, look at all those empty seats!!!!!
wonder if the sox are celebrating their 202302392nd sellout????
BBI Kotch?
Ummm, okay.
don't question demarlo!
this guy's damn near cashian, i guess it was a decent call.
nava
lowrie
kalish
---
do it, pawsox!
remy says in the first game in the kingdome, he walked, stole second, stole third, and scored on a ground out.
all correct, but he scored on a don baylor double, not an out.
it begins at 9:02
HILL dong off vazquez
6-2 jays top6
wells a 2b away from the cycle in t.o.
it begins at 9:03
It sure would be nice to win while others are losing.
Mrs - Ha! That's not how things are done in boston! Haven't you been following the past two months?
fuckin felix.
At least he's at 105 pitches.
really hope demarlo pulls back cash if kalish reaches...
got to get on ryan, so we do not have cash mar the 8th
with cash leading off the 8th, we have 5 outs to work with.
fuck sakes, dishwasher.
its in the part of the cycle where it sounds like a UFO is descending or a bomb is dropping.
Speaking of minor leaguers - went down to the new ballpark to catch the Dash playing Salem, Boston's single A team.
Arrived at the end of the 1st, watched bits of the 2nd from the lines while helping my sister get her 2 girls food and drinks and get them to their seats. Then the bottom opened up between the 2nd and 3rd. Watched them work on the field for about an hour and a half before they finally called it. My sister's 4 yr-old, who was at her 1st ballgame said - "Baseball games suck!" very loudly, numerous times. It was still a hoot
i wouldn't mind seeing a foul tip breaking cash's thumb or ankle.
also, apparently they finally used the 's' word (surgery) in discussing pedroia's ailments. he might not be back.
heh, definitely not a good first game experience there.
you should've told the salem catcher you were a red sox scout, and to pack his shit and get on the next flight to boston.
ugh
our felix up
Tim, I've got one word for you....Bosch
Nary a sound comes from the dishwasher since we upgraded.
What was that Drew?
wtf was that, drew?
walkoff vs aaaaaardsma?
Salem. I am only about 2 hours from there and have not made it to a game yet. I'll get there sometime.
Yes, some baseball games do suck. Yet, still we watch.
Oh, the change in my avatar is in honor of Cody.
sad eyes!
If I had any pictures of my Border Collie mutt (THE BEST DOG IN THE WORLD...who died in 1996) on my computer, I'd have put that one up.
Yeah, I was at someones house sitting in a kitchen, and they had a dishwasher running - I didn't even know! Wonder if it was a bosch as well... but, I'm renting so the fact that there even is a dishwasher is good. And the landlord gets to pay to fix it :)
Its loud, but i don't mind the normal sounds - this UFO thing creeped the hell out of me the first time I heard it, now its just annoying and loud.
when i really make it in this world - i'm gettin a bosch! ill take your word for it.
Lynch sent me some links to pics of his border collie. If there was not an ocean between us, I'd be over there stealing that dog. ... Or at moving in.
Yes, she does have sad eyes these days. She really has not been the same for the past two years. She misses Harley.
I had a yellow lab mutt growing up and we named her Sad Eyes.
L & I go gaga for border collies.
I took Tala to the park today and one of the dogwalkers had a small skinny border collie. I was in luv.
:( sad eyes. so sad.
speaking of co-pal dogs, how is tala doing?
Thank you. My tolerance for MDC is about at the same level as Amy's is for Papelbon
my friend/study partner has a border collie/aussie shepherd - such a beautiful dog
lets go, douby brotha!
(not that kind of brotha, you racist)
they are scary smart.
tala is a bit off. ate maybe 1/4 of dinner. now sleeping in front of tv.
While I love labs, you can't beat Border Collies for personality, fun, and LAUGHS. I bet you have plenty of funny stories about Cody.
One of my favorites about Tribe was when she walked in the house, opened her mouth, and out jumped a frog! She was bringing in a playmate.
never thought i'd be so happy to see hall in my life.
felix gassed?
as long as tala has been here, cody has been here, not as alpha, really, but with a seniority that was respected.
and now she has left -- and she's never coming back. not like that time, for 2-3 days. i hope her funk does not last too long.
hmm. i could see the dog partners taking it harder than the humans. sounds like shes doing ok though.
HALL!!!!!!!!!!!
Double!! Let's Go Sox.
Kingdom Hall: "Awake!"
yeah, thats what i was thinking - cody has been around for all of tala's life (with you guys) - it will be interesting to see how she adjusts.
bunt better not be on here.
maybe they adjust and move on faster -- who really knows? they can adjust to a LOT of shit -- but they have no idea what happened.
she is there and then ... gone. wtf?
kind of like this SEA lead
here -- and gone.
wells is due up fifth for toronto in the bottom of the 8th...might have to check that out after this comeback.
not at your hands though, scut. jeeze.
Yep, T never knew life without Harley. But Harley was definitely in charge so I imagine there was some adjusting to that as well.
I hope Tala perks up soon.
depends on the dog too.
buster was gone and cody -- who loved him sooooooooooooooo much - barely missed a beat.
yeah, dogs really do "live in the moment" - but they are also creatures of habit, so definitely will be weird to change the habit of always having cody around.
Did they sleep together or near each other?
hernandez cooked.
keep him in!!!!!
Time for a SPECIAL!
Okay, let's hit their bullpen. Time to rally.
brandon league in.
ez.
ugh, so close.
Ohhh, just foul.
tala always slept in our room.
cody often did not. in her early years, she slept as far away in the apt. as possible!
in the last year, she HAD to be beside my side of the bed. with her anxiety and her bad hips, we wanted to keep her in the bedroom, so we closed the door. so she eventually ended up sleeping in tala's crate while tala slept by L.
so in the same room, but not near each other. cody hated any dog getting too close. she's growl and get up and move, even if tala was 5-7 feet away. still too close!
she spent her last week in the crate or by my side of the bed, alone in the quiet dark, not wanting to go outside to eat or drink. and she LOVED laying in the sun, even a month or two ago.
blue lite
time to be the man, flo.
been busy working over here...
