i dont like the red sox that showed up tonight so far.
Two in the first, three in the second, Wakes strong, Neimann (and Ortiz) shakey through two. 5-1, top 3.
In 5 games Tim Wakefield has pitched, the Red Sox are 4-1.
Jason Bay showing a lot of effort, running out a groundball, then stealing 2nd.
Nick Green the ex-NYY drives in his third run of the game, 6-1.
Nick Green determined to do all the work tonight, apparently.
Why the hell is Pedroia making that play?
Pedro doubles …
Papi?
Pedro’s hurt.
Oh, shit.
Shit shit shit shit. Great job tagging up, but that looks like it hurt.
Still in the game though… seems like he’ll be ok?
From another angle you can see the ball hit him squarely in the balls. He’ll be fine.
I was afraid it was a cracked rib at first.
Longoria hits Kottaras in the head with the bat a second time.
I hate this guy. Seems like a cocky punk.
Dude, that’s the second time this game Longoria has hit Kottaras with his bat on the follow-through. First in the hand, now right on the side of the face. Trainers out, Kottaras okay but in some pain.
Couldn’t agree more. Something about his face makes me just want to punch it.
Maybe it’s the fact that he just a 2-run single. Fuck.
Now Longoria gets his 15th RBI against the Red Sox this season.
Why is he allowed to be so comfortable at the plate?
But Wake’s not the guy to brush him back.
Longoria is more irritating than Posada.
Damn it.
Fuck.
Beckett’s curveball would hurt more than Wake’s fastball.
Burrell doubles, 6-5 now. Here’s that 5th-inning collapse we’ve had lately.
One of those innings when Wakes doesn’t have it.
Well we end this inning with the lead.
Balfour in. Another guy I hate.
And I seem to remember the Red Sox pounded the snot out of this guy in the spring.
Woof, 2 stolen bases by Ellsbury during this Pedroia at-bat!
Papi, this is your time.
Shouse sucked when he played for us a couple of years ago.
Two-run double for YOOOOOOOOOOOOKS!
YOUK!
Jeff Bailey pinch hitting for Jason Bay. Uhhh… whaa?
What happened to Bay? Why pinch hitter?
Bailey for Bay? WTF?
Shoot, I should have audio on the radio, but listening to the Celtics instead!
Here comes Oki; Bay left w/ left ankle contusion and C’s w/ a big halftime lead.
Wow, those pitches from Wake were everywhere but the strike-zone according to Gameday.
Can’t watch on MLB.tv because it is blacked out in Boston – which is a big pain since I don’t have cable (we threw away our TV when the kid was born – so I just have a TV tuner dongle on my computer for over-the-air stuff).
Oh c’mon Oki, don’t be the Oki I hate!
BIG K!!!
YES!!!
Smarmy boy bats to lead off.
Our bullpen has been so effing clutch.
I wonder if this is the first time this has happened since 2003: The Rays are intentionally walking a batter to pitch to David Ortiz.
I’d love to see Papi make ’em pay, but I don’t think he will.
Wow, that is an insult! Intentionally walking Dustin to get to Ortiz!
It’s pretty sad when the other team is intentionally walking Pedroia to get to Ortiz.
Phew! Saved his behind . . .
Woah, strike 1 to Youk was a foot and a half inside. Wtf.
C’s up by 9 halfway through the 3rd.
Just got a cameo shot of Kotsay.
C’s by 7 after 3.
By the way, thanks, Covelli. We love Ramon Ramirez.
Saito to pitch the 9th.
Why pitch Percival in the 9th when you’re down 5?
Ellsbury w/ 3 IF hits tonight, but one was ruled an error.
Keep him from getting in trouble. You know what those kids get up to in the bullpen when they’re bored.
C’s lead dwindling. You can tell their offense is losing confidence fast. Technical foul? Fuck that noise.
Double play ends the inning for the Sox, let’s finish this one.
Saito just threw 12 pitches to Crawford, 11 of them the same type of pitch. That typically doesn’t work unless you are Mariano Rivera, and it didn’t.
Saito Ks Longo.
The C’s defense has been so sloppy this series,a sign of how badly they miss KG.
Sox one out from a (suddenly) rare regular-season win in the Florida SunCoast Dome.
Uh oh, referees reverse a call from the FIRST QUARTER and award the Bulls another point. 5 point lead with 5:44 to go.
C’s failure to bury the bulls will cost them.
Zobrist Ks to end it.
Back to the Garden.
Jack Kemp died today.
Wow.
Done. Split the series with these suckas tomorrow…oh God, it’s Penny, isn’t it?
It’s Penny.
Oh, well.
But, hey, he HAS been getting good run support.
Heinrich is a Nazi POS.
Holy shit the C’s are actually going to win this one.
Dirty water!
