• Reddick misplays a flyball into a Derrek Lee 2-run triple in the bottom of the first; Sox explode in top 3 with three, including a Salty solo blow, a Muddy Chicken RBI single and an AGon RBI single.
  Meanwhile in the Exploding Lightbulb Dome, AJ blows up early and Tamper leads, 3-1 and is threatening more in the bottom of 2.

• This isn’t related to tonight’s games, but it’s baseball-relevant and made me laugh very hard, so I thought some other folks might enjoy a laugh after they get angry at tonight’s starting pitcher: http://mlb.sbnation.com/2011/7/17/2279239/get-a-brain-morans

• AJ gets out of it.

• Salty follows with a single, JD, making perhaps his last start in a while, strikes out on what Castig calls “a very hittable pitch,” Scutaro reaches on an E3 to score Carl, Els sac fly scores Salty; 5-2.

• Sox keep pounding Bergeson. Reddick homers, 6-2.

• Stuck, are you suggesting the the teahadist party is a bunch of morans?

• Bobby Wheeler is hanging in there.
  Score still 7-7.

• Muddy Chicken!

• Darnell doubles in three more. 15-7 Sox.
  Buck Showalter is a crazy shade of red right now. So fun.

• Didn’t the last time they had a game end late because of a rain delay, the Sox offence blew up for a bunch of runs in the next game?

• Williams just needs to throw strikes here, up 8 runs is no time to finesse pitches

• This one is getting ugly fast

• Every pitcher the Orioles trotted out tonight had an ERA over 5.00. What happened to all those can’t-miss pitching prospects they piled up in their drafts?

• I know he didn’t deserve it, but I’m bummed Wake didn’t get his 199th win. Good outing by Wheeler though, which is hopefully a more accurate indicator of his future performance than the beginning of the season.

• Since his low-water mark on May 4th (with a DL stint following), Wheeler has pitched 21.1 innings and given up five earned runs, 13 hits, 4 walks. So he’s been darn good for a while now. As the #4/5 non-lefty in the ‘pen (after Paps, Bard, Albers, maybe Ace) the Sox could do a lot worse. Just think if Jenks had been anything but an enormous, injured slob!
