Flusher in RF and god-OUT-za DH…game over. What are you thinking Joe you nimrod?????
I must be some kind of masochist…why am I watching this stupid game???
Three straight days of Nick Green? GLORIOUS!
I just hope I make it through 2 innings tonight. NESN HD and I can’t stomach it!
Dude…why are you watching NESN????
I hate NESN because of their Poo-ins coverage. Jack Edwards is a douche. Prick-ly too…
I am glad I need to go to a Little League game tonight. After an hour, I’m sure all SFs will have given up.
What’s wrong with NESN? Eckersley is a homer but the coverage is great aside from that.
I think Fenway looks really cool…especially all the bars outside the park. I don’t think I would go though, people would probably ruin it for me…
Poo-ins coverage dude…unwatchable.
it does tend to be full of sox fans….
Yeah…but not ALL SF’s are bad I’m sure. Just some like anything else in life. It really only takes one though, you know?
Krueg, that’s why you watch NESN via mlb.tv, where you don’t get any Bruins coverage ;-) It’s all baseball here.
Great interview from Francona there about the 7-0 streak.
Btw, I’m watching the HD stream from mlb.tv… and I can see every hair from Eck’s glorious mustache.
I’m just outside of Boston. I get YES but they block out all the games. MLB forces out-of-market fans to buy the internet package and I won’t! They show the pre-game and post-game but they don’t even show the replay. Instead it’s hours upon hours of Centerstage.
I will probably cry if the Yankees don’t destroy Penny.
Krueg, don’t be silly, this isn’t the 80’s or 90’s any more, you’re more than safe to attend a game at America’s Most Beloved Ballpark and you would be welcomed with open arms.
YES Network baby!!!! THe #1 regional sports network in the country!!!! At least we’re #1 at something…
I don’t have to watch NESN feeds anymore when I watch the Sabres bitch slap the Poo-ins anymore…DirecTV has both feeds now for all sports. ;)
Come on fockers, put a crooked number.
That blows.
CAPTAIN CLUTCH!!!! single. DP coming…
Not a good start!
You can take me then Lock…crash on your couch???
This is going to be a long night.
Captain steals…no more DP. whew.
Damon sucks.
Yup, when I saw I had YES I was psyched. First game they had Centerstage and I was pissed.
Right now? Charlie Gibson on Centerstage!
Screw you Jeets.
Sure brother, you can have the couch, that way I don’t have to wash the sheets in the guest room.
Wow, since I have mlb.tv HD streaming there’s a good 60-90 second buffer. I need to be careful reading the comments here.
rally killers in full effect. awful.
nice…
Chances choke-rod gets a RBI???? -1,000,000%
That was stupid…he’s an automatic out????
Youk is getting a real nice fastball right around the shoulders. I would love to see him complain about that one.
Another reason I don’t feel like paying $100 to watch the game on my computer.
I wondered when that was going to happen.
A dish served best cold, indeed.
Penny hits A-Rod…
I have no problem hitting ARod to pitch to Cano.
That’s BS…now CC can’t blast Bay or Youk. I hate that…like the instigator rule in hockey.
Wow, Francona is whining? I guess the team’s mentality comes from the top after all.
Penny throws 97 mph? And he still sucks? What a waste. He can’t find one other decent pitch?
Umpires getting together after the HBP. Interesting.
Sure enough, both sides warned.
what’s going on guys? my mlb radio is blocked
Agreed Krueg, it’s the first inning which is when a pitcher is most wild. Let the players play damnit.
…weak grounder to 2nd for cano. bank on it.
further puss-i-fication of america through sports…
98?!?!?!?!?!?!?!??!??!?!
Sure are a lot of white people in Fenway…
I mean, if Sabathia throws inside to Youk and it gets away and hits him, he could be ejected. Now I hate Sabathia and it would help the Red Sox if he was ejected in the 2nd inning, but that’s totally lame.
Penny’s velocity is at 97 and he’s hitting that high-outside spot over and over, which is where Varitek is framing the glove. Maybe we’ll have a good night from Penny.
Really Krueg? You want to start that crap?
Sure are a lot of white people in Massachusetts…
There, fixed it for you Krueg!
I just want him to nail Youk…now he can’t. weak.
Huh???
Wow, A-Rod is sloooooooow.
Great curveball from Penny. He’s hitting his spots.
Look, Boston’s main fanbase is milquetoast college kids, who can afford to go to the games. The “sure are a lot of white folk”, while true, is pretty old.
Touched a nerve or something? I was just being me…christ. didn’t mean anything by it…lighten up people!!!!
P.S. Cano blows monkey balls…as if we didn’t know that already.
Cano ends the inning, though a shitload of pitches thrown. 11 just from Cano.
Aside from that, Penny is looking great. Fastball hitting 98, hitting his locations, curveball really working well.
OK CC…this is what why you were signed…BRING IT FATTY PORKCHOP!!!!
…of course CC and I are basically the same size so I think I just called myself fat too!
Damn, I hate the baggy look. Guy looks like he just rolled out of bed.
The whole Red Sox Racist, Boston Racist, etc, etc, crap perpetuated by Yankees fans based on nothing in the control of this generation of fans or Red Sox owner/management. You know exactly what you were saying.
Almost all white people at YS2 now too, if you haven’t noticed. That must make NYC a racist city, right?
Can’t throw a strike…where have we seen this before???
Yup, definitely touched a nerve with Lockland.
No ass…I was just being stupid. Meant nothing by it. Relax. You are being a dick.
Hey, remember the last time NeedsABathia pitched in Fenway? Ahh those were good times.
On that note, I miss Schilling.
NeedsABathia….classic.
here we go…
Ah, a patented Fenway double.
Yanks are so good at doing so much without actually scoring.. bah.
Nice pitch location on an 0-2 count there, Si Si. GO YOUK!
it sounds like an old metal garage door when the ball hits the monstah…
well…porkchop looks about as good as the rest of our crap pitchers. Maybe it’s like when girls that hang out get their periods synced up? Now our pitchers are synced up with terribleness???
HE THREW A STRIKE!!!! WOO HOO!!!
Youk walks on four pitches? Bay time.
…choke-rod with the tag. 2 outs. lowell wants to go deep…I can see it in his eyes.
FLUSHER MADE A CATCH IN RIGHT!!!! SCIENCE BE PRAISED!!!
Damn damn damn. More squandered opportunities.
Group vote boys…should I start drinking??? Maybe that’s the problem??? I’m on hiatus from the hippie lettuce so maybe a few brews will help???
Did you drink last night and Tuesday, Krueg? Because I think you should keep doing what you’ve been doing, whatever that is. Wouldn’t want to mess with the mojo.
Been stone cold sober…
Flusher with a double???? Really???? he’ll be stranded…
Sorry to jump on you Krueg but you have to know that is a seriously sore subject with the way some Yankees fan use it combined with the history of Tom Yawkey. Every team in baseball carries a shared shameful history with race.
god-OUT-za up….AUTOMATIC OUT!!!!
I agree, if booze calms you down, I don’t want you touching the stuff.
Apology accepted brother. I really meant nothing by it. I didn’t mean to insinuate anything…just being stupid. I have never heard anyone make that claim about Boston but I can understand why it would make you upset…
Guys, I realized what the problem was: I wasn’t wearing my Yankees Suck shirt. It’s on now, so we can start scoring runs in droves.
we have not had good luck with Japanese players…god-OUT-za, igawa, fat p-ssy toad…we need to try South Korea or something. Taiwan sucks too!!!
Yeah, it’s a subject that has been dragged out several times which is really stupid, because New York is one of the most diverse cities in the world, while Massachusetts is as white as Canada.
You are not “that guy” are you Ath????
Got it. Lesson learned.
I don’t care that Penny just walked Matsui, he’s pitching very well, hitting the corners with ease. DP now in effect.
I’m not “that guy”, no; I’m generally jovial towards Yankees fans because I want to see if they’re real fans, or just someone wearing the NY hat. I keep it civil unless it’s a close game, or if the guy is being a douche.
That was a strike dickie…swing the f-cking bat maybe???
I hate those “got rings” shirts too…it is no fun watching games with the dark side of our fanbases, thus my anxiety to see fenway.
Melky that was a great pitch, no crying please.
Yeah Krueg, both our teams have those douchebags on them. Who gives a shit that you have 26 rings? This is baseball, the rest of us care about what’s going on right now.
The Red Sox bragging stuff are equally stupid, though none come immediately to mind.
That’s awesome. Thanks Swish!!!
Penny with 50 pitches through 2 IP.
Seriously, Flusher? Two nights in a row with your head up your ass?
HOW F-CKING STUPID IS FLUSHER???? HOW MANY TIMES DOES HE HAVE TO F-CK UP UNTIL YOU BENCH HIS SORRY-ASS JOE??? ARE YOU F-CKING KIDDING ME???
Second time in two days Swisher got caught off..
SWISHER GETS DOUBLED OFF! Holy crap how did that happen again?
In his defense, I thought that ball was a double for sure coming off the bat.
I just remove myself from those conversations before they start…I have met SO many cool Sox fans and a friendly rivalry is much more fun than the stupidity.
CRUSHED!!!!
Wow.
DAVID ORTIZ!
Three homers in what, 5 games? He’s back ladies and gentlemen.
Yeah Krueg, that’s why YFSF is so much fun: we keep it a friendly rivalry.
most people do…
I have nothing to say about Sabathia.
oh wait, yes I do…
YOU F-CKING SUCK CC YOU FAT, BLOATED, OVER-RATED, OVER-PAID PIECE OF SH-T!!!! I HATE YOU!!!
all papi needed was a series against the pathetic yankee staff to get his groove on…
oh, and one more thing….GAME OVER!
oh wait, yes I do…
AHAHAHA this made me laugh so much Krueg. Don’t ever change buddy.
Holy crap Green is swinging with all his might like Pedroia. Only far less effective.
Boy…SO glad we paid him $200 billion to suck so much ass. awesome.
CC= garbage
AJ= garbage
Pettitte= garbage
Joba= we’ll see
Wang= worse than garbage, human waste mixed with garbage
Hughes= we’ll see
Fire Cashman, fired girardi, fire eiland, fire everyone…I miss the Boss. He was the best. His sons are vaginal.
OK boys…let’s go ahead let Penny make us look foolish again!!! YOU CAN DO IT!!! Losers.
we need to dig up Billy and re-animate him…that would be sweet.
David Ortiz – 2009 (before tonight):
Yankees: .280 .394 .560
All else: not that
BILLY, ARE YOU GOING TO BAT REGGIE? ARE YOU BILLY? BILLY?
Rob, Ortiz also has an OPS over 1.000 for June now too.
Jeter with a single…color me “WHO THE F-CK CARES!!!”
DP in full effect yo…
Who’s the Sox long-man these days? Masterson?
Billy was the man. I would love to get Sweet Lou back as manager…he would whip these over-paid vaginas into shape in a hurry.
How did Lowell miss that?
They could pick an elderly woman out of the stands and still beat us…
Yeah Rob, Masterson. And whaddaya know, he hasn’t pitched in 4 days (and he only went .2 then). Guess they were saving him for tonight.
Damon….f-cking…sucks. don’t let the door hit your ass on the way out of town you do-nothing ass clown.
marky mark is our only hope…
“help us marky mark, you’re our only hope…”
http://i.a.cnn.net/si/2005/writers/jay_mohr/08/10/hot.read/p1_piniella.jpg
That man would tear AJ Burnett’s limbs off to make an example of him for the rest of the team.
this team is unwatchable.
choke-rod. you dick with ears.
Why aren’t the Yanks running wild on Varitek? He gets less than 20% of runners.
I’m about to bail for a movie with the wife. At least I made it through 2 tonight.
Hell if I know, Rob. Jeter should have been on 2nd base like 10 minutes ago.
Why are you throwing to first penny??? just strike out choke-rod so i can have a smoke!!!
penny hit alyssa milano…nice work bradley!!!
Yep…this game is over.
Stick around Rob, the third inning has been the fun one for Yankees starters so far!
Pinella – another cost of keeping Torre for another year (when he should have lost his job for batting A-Rod 8th).
big surprise…choke-rod K’s…again. I mean, it’s not even fun going off on him anymore because he is so putrid. what a worthless piece of sh-t.
Not only Milano, but Elisha Dushku.
http://j.bdbphotos.com/pictures/O/2L/O2I3W1C_large.jpg
Look at that smirk. LOOK AT IT. That is one happy man, and not because he just struck out ARod.
should have had choke-rod knee-capped instead…
EVERYONE strikes out choke-rod…he would K in tee-ball.
Yeah, Elisha too. Penny is the MAN!!!
Sticky-icky?
Needing to work with one eye so none tonight for me…or not. Hmmmmmm.
alright fat-fat…how many more runs are you going to give up????
I’m taking a break until July… :(
Top of the order for Sabathia here. Come on big fella, give up like 10 runs here. All the cool kids are doing it!
Wasn’t fat-fat supposed to be some kind of awesome ace strikeout pitcher???? he nibbles like the rest of our horrendous staff…i hate him.
Sabathia getting squeezed.
I’m SO glad we didn’t trade p-ew and IP-suck for Santana….GREAT JOB CASH-DOUCHE!!!!
Yeah, I’ve tried breaks before. They never work for me if I have. Now that it’s almost legal here, I don’t think I’ll ever stop again. I sleep better, I feel better, I eat better.
Good pitch strikes out Drew, though the strikezone keeps changing.
That was a filthy back door.
I hear ya…my wife is getting her PHD so when I have it around, it distracts her so I try to only get some every month or so. The breaks suck!!!! KINDA LIKE THE CHOKE-MEES!!!
A good sweeping curveball, inside but close enough. When was the last time we had a consistent umpire?
hehehehehehehe
1984
HERE COMES MURDERERS ROW!!!! CAN’T-O, god-OUT-za and FLUSHER!!!!
Couldn’t even finish that before CAN’T-O went down like a little bitch…
By the way…what did I tell you Ath???? Penny is going 4 innings without giving up a run….I TOLD YOU!!!! WE SUCK!!!
jesus christ…
this is just unreal. i mean, we can’t score any runs on brad f-cking penny??? we have to win this game. HAVE TO. going to lose with out ace on the mound, and i use the term ace VERY lightly against the sox worst pitcher????? seriously???? i mean, how f-cking pathetic can they be???? is choke-rod become the team mascot or something???
Great grab by Pedroia, but he can’t make the throw. Great effort.
LOOK OUT BOSTON!!! HERE COMES CERVIX-ELLI!!! YOU GUYS ARE DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMED!!!! not.
4 f-cking shutout innings for brad penny. i am running out of expletives to describe this team. seriously.
Geez, two infield singles in a row.
Hey Jim Nantz: you seem like a nice guy, but please leave the booth. Nobody gives a shit about your book, we’re trying to watch a baseball game.
Mike Lowell ends the inning.
Penny at 79 pitches after 4. Extremely solid so far.
the sox completely, totally, absolutely OWN the choke-mees. end of story. we have got to be the most mentally weak team in the history of the f-cking world…aside for the early 90’s bills of course.
I TOLD YOU!!!! ACKNOWLEDGE THE FACT ATH!!!!
Smoke break…cannot watch fat-fat implode this inning.
…you were right Krueg. Though the 5th inning is the death inning for our starters.
LOOK! A BLACK WOMAN IN FENWAY! We’re diverse!
We’re diverse on YFSF too . . . I’m not a white american male.
See Krueg? Diverse!
DIVERSITY IS WHAT MAKES AMERICA GREAT!!!!
I am as white as they come…but I have soul baby.
I have nothing to say about that.
And I come by my Sox fandom honestly – I inherited it from my now almost 80 year old Indian dad who became a fan in the 60s!
(the far east kind . . . not the Cleveland kind)
JOHNNY DAMON DROPS A CAN OF CORN! And then he pretends like something was in his eye! Smooth Damon.
And Ortiz wasn’t running, so he’s only on first.
Without our diversity…we are just canada. canada is kinda like light mayo…white and bland.
Yeah am! I inherited it from my dad (who lived in Boston as a kid) before living in Boston for 2 years. I am, sadly, a pale white redhead.
Here comes the top of the mighty choke-mee order!!!! look out world!!!!
we should erect windmills in front of homeplate while we bat…green energy source could power new england for a month.
where do you live???
oh, how rude of me…welcome AM!!!! Enjoy the massacre of the choke-mees!!! We are a pathetic joke!!!
Aaaaand the rain coming down. Get through this inning and call it!
this series is going to destroy our season…looks like we have regressed to the beginning of the season. jays are winning. rays are getting healthy.
boy Ath, penny sure is getting rocked. not.
Newport News, VA.
yes, please. save me from myself.
nice…anywhere is better than memphis.
boy Ath, penny sure is getting rocked. not.
You’re just jealous because my reverse-jinx was stronger than yours.
no…i’m jealous because your team is vastly superior to mine.
just pitch around marky mark to get to rally killer…
Penny has been painting that outside corner all night. Fantastic command.
Yeah there’s that too.
this is beyond pathetic.
i’m so angry i literally don’t know what to do…
Teixeira showing off his WTP.
i mean, do the sox have that great of a psychological advantage that brad penny is somehow the second coming of schilling or something???
i need some green. i’m seriously cracking up right now.
damon misplays another ball…bring up austin jackson, start gardner. outfield of melky, gardner and jackson would at least be solid defensively. cut god-OUT-za and flusher. damon can dh for the rest of the year and then SEE YA AS-SHOLE!!!
fat-fat almost threw it away…christ.
did we just turn a dp? really? i had forgotten what those were…unless we were hitting into them of course. from a defensive perspective i mean…
choke-rod due up…you would think he would man up once in awhile and shut up all the fans talking sh-t about him. but alas, he isn’t choke-rod for nothing.
Pedroia that was a good pitch, no whining please.
it’s so nice to see all the choke-mees laughing, having a good time while they are getting DESTROYED by the sox…just warms my f-cking heart.
I’ve been on YFSF since last year – I just don’t talk a lot :). But thanks!
Born in Boston and have been hereabouts for the last like 25 years!
me either…i’m an quiet introvert.
Krueg, you are in Memphis?
choke-rod is missing pitches right down the f-cking middle…christ.
Masterson pitched .2 innings on June 4, .2 innings on June 7, and not since then. PREDICTION: Masterson is going to be traded.
unfortunately…yes.
another weak out for choke-rod…just crawl in a hole and die you loser. you destroyed my team with your suckiness.
And don’t you change (not your shirt, not your talk, nothing!) :)
Hah! Me too. Been here for 25 freakin years.
HOLY SH-T!!!!! WE GOT A HIT!!!! haha…rhymes.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO…and you’ve survived???
thanks homeboy!
flusher…DP for sure.
Seriously why isn’t Masterson warming up? He’s pitched a total of 1.1 innings in all of June!
YANKEES SUCK!!!! YANKEES SUCK!!!! Very perceptive fenway faithful…very perceptive.
I have…not sure how. I didn’t know there was anything other than Cardinal fans around here.
0-6 with RISP…god-OUT-za about to make it 0-7 with his stupid ears.
me either bro…we go to the Buffalo’s on Hack’s Cross, quite a few Sox fans out there. Mostly Cards though. Cards fans talk MAD sh-t to me…I hate them now.
was that a fair ball????
YES!!!!!!!
i am filled with a white-hot rage that i cannot put into words.
Yes! Our fat pitcher comes through!
penny really sucks, huh Ath? not. bastard. it is in fact the choke-mees that suck. in every situation, in every way, every position, every coach, down to the f-cking janitors in the stadium and the urinals. total and complete suckage.
Our pitcher is WAY fatter…give me something bro???
They actually have baseball games on? I hate the Cards too. Not as much as the Yanks of course.
MATSUI STRIKES OUT! The things Brad Penny accomplished tonight:
-6 shutout innings against the Yankees
-Made himself far more tradeable
-Guaranteed that the Sox will get something OKAY in return for him when we trade him, which will:
-Make room for Buchholz in the rotation
Penny just killed like 4 birds with one stone.
Sure, you can have that one.
Really though, aside from the Ortiz HR, this is apparently clinic in ‘why you do not have to be in shape to pitch in a major league game.’
Bets on who comes out in relief in the 7th? I’m thinking Masterson, but he hasn’t been used much recently.
grizzly adams hasn’t even gone yard yet…it’s coming.
If Bucholz replaces penny, where does Smoltz fit in the rotation?
They have the package there.
thank you. i win.
DICK-MON CAUGHT THE BALL!!!!! WOO HOO!!!! No man sauce in his eye that time I guess…
…and you said he sucked. sinner.
um…how was that not a strike as-hole ump????
He takes Dice-K’s spot. [/wishfulthinking]
jeter is super awesome…not.
could you guys have more pitching????
i think i’m out of insults…this is mentally and fingerly exhausting.
base hit. woo. hoo.
Tie game. Yes, we could have more pitching.
You have GOT to be kidding me, MDC. CERVELLI?!
we actually scored a run. wow.
greedy bastards!!!
So why has Delcarmen suddenly started to suck . . .
Well f*cknuts.
Our vaunted bullpen has looked a little shaky the last couple of games . . . yesterday was too close at the end. And now this.
…been in close proximity to the yankees pitchers for 3 days???
Someone in the crowd just yelled “Mariah Carey!” at Jeets.
come on jeter…
that’s an insult???
you suck jeter. retire.
Yeah, I guess it is catching . . . H1N1 style.
2nd with 0 outs…won’t even score a f-cking run. pathetic.
Damon or Tex is going yard here…
COME ON DICK-MON!!!! BE THE BALL!!!
THAT WAS NOT A F-CKING STRIKE!!!! COME ON!!!
…from your post to science’s ears.
If they called that a strike I was getting on a plane…
Can we bring Penny back and have a do over? ;)
COME ON MARKY MARK!!!! YOU ARE OUR ONLY HOPE FOR SALVATION!!!!
NO!
Just walk him to get to choke-rod…dp.
I’m rocking back and forth in my chair like Francona. My blood pressure can’t handle this.
WTF????? THAT WAS NOT A STRIKE!!!! GIVE US A F-CKING BREAK!!! STUPID NEW ENGLAND UMP!!!
whatever 7-0 series lead…
Seriously wtf happened to Masterson? He should be in the game right now to get a double-play. This is BS.
another patented choke-mee choke job. just f-cking horrible.
choke-rod up…easy out.
.227
hitless in fenway
1 for last 17
$27.5 gazillion a year
awesome.
i hope your dick falls off choke-rod. you epitomize loserness.
Teix WTP.
what kind of man just stands up there and take nothing but the most heinous abuse and does nothing about it??? you are not even a man choke-rod.
NOW it rains. Where was this 20 minutes ago?
zero chance of getting a hit. zero.
SCIENCE BE PRAISED!!!!! SCIENCE BE PRAISED!!!!
Crap. Apologize to Arod, Krueg.
It’s about f-cking time AROD!!!! You lost your moniker until you screw up again.
Great, and the Royals bullpen just blew Zach Greinke’s lead, so no win tonight for him on my fantasy team. Throw in some girlfriend problems and the Yankee comeback and you’ve got a shitty night.
Oh c’mon! *Now* we take MDC out? *Now*?!
I kinda did…it’s my negative reinforcement. it just hasn’t been working against the sox so it just seems mean spirited.
dump her bro…you don’t have to put up with BS. No reason to fight if you love someone. Mrs. Krueg and I never fight. Made that agreement when we started dating.
can’t-o…you suck.
Oh look! An out!
oh, and by the way SF’s…our bullsh-t-pen laughs at a two run lead, they’ve blown MUCH bigger ones!!! like gay pornstars…
Well we’ve been dating three and a half years, and both graduated, and she’s living at home working part-time, which is two hours away from me. Her ex-boyfriend is in town, whom I have a HUGE problem with, and they’re hanging out tonight. Bleh.
I don’t understand why MDC was allowed to stay out there and f*ck the game up for so long. Seriously, is Masterson even in the bullpen anymore? Was he demoted to AAA while I wasn’t looking? Did we trade him for a first-round pick yesterday?
I could see keeping him in after the single – but then a run scoring double by Cervelli and Tito still kept him in to face the top of the Yankee bats . . . this game got to be no fun fast.
You want me to come up there and beat the hell out of him??? Like I said, I’m CC sized…
…and why the hell is she hanging out with her ex-boyfriend??? that is not cool at all. even if she is cool, you know he isn’t. What guy hangs out with their ex-girlfriend???
sorry to get all Dr. Phil boys…
My thoughts exactly, Krueg. Google maps says that if you leave Memphis now you should get here around 10:00. I’ll bring the liquor.
Come on CC…one more inning brother. No 8th inning scrub to blow the game, please???
Seriously dude? Wow. You need to kick that dude’s ass, nowish.
I have alot of pent up aggression, as you can tell…would not be good for him. I haven’t had a good dust-up in quite a few years.
You tell your girl that krueg said to cut it out!!!
GET IN THE KITCHEN AND MAKE ME A POT PIE…that’s what you tell her!
Lock, you and I will go up there and teach that joker a lesson…
So why was Penny taken out when he was doing his “I’m a legit pitcher” impression anyway . . .
Had a date with another famous, super-hot chick he has no business banging…
is there anyone in MLB worse than flusher??? he is completely worthless…like non-alcoholic beer or the DEA.
He’s a total douchebag too; plays the guitar, thinks he’s good, a total tool. We met several years ago and he mentioned something about Led Zeppelin (my favorite band) being full of no-talent girls, and when I told him that Zeppelin is the greatest band ever he told me that I wouldn’t understand because I’m not a musician.
Anyone who hates Zeppelin should be euthanized.
…wait, god-OUT-za is just as worthless.
HEY LOOK, MASTERSON IS WARMING UP!
For the life of me I do not know why he wasn’t brought it with runners on in the 7th.
Hanging out with ex’es is bad news . . . I’d be jealous as all get out . . . would lead to breakup like talk . . .
The Beatles were the greatest band, but I take your point. :)
Um…wow. I play guitar as well. I’m not a huge fan of Zeppelin, but they are unquestionably one of the greatest bands of all time. Top 5 of all time front man, lead guitar and drums. I want to beat down that douche on principle now!!!
Your deal is making me very, very angry. NO ONE MESSES WITH ATH ON MY WATCH!!!!
Look up “Guitar Guy at the Party” on youtube by Mike Birbiglia…sounds like that douche.
Like krueg said – our coach has been hanging out in the vicinity of Girardi too long too. It isn’t just the bullpen.
Hootie and the Blowfish are the greatest band of all time suckas!!!! That’s right, I said it…
great catch…douche.
Hey cool, I play the guitar too :). Tho I like to play the Beatles since I sing, and now my 15 month old son shakes it up too when I play the Beatles. So they became doubly greatest now ;)
Yeah, whether or not you like Zeppelin you have to respect the greatness that is Robert Plant and Jimmy Page. I don’t like Metallica but I respect their epicness.
me too! as well as the drums…have an electric set and a takamine electric accoustic. WE SHOULD START A BAND!!!!
To be honest I play the guitar too, but I only do it in my room by myself for fun. This is the kind of guy that song Krueg, where he just happens to break out the guitar whenever there are people around.
HOLY POTATOES Rocco Baldelli! GOD BLESS ROCCO!
CHURCH!
You know that song??? It’s hilarious!!!!
Me too bro. I play around my close friends. I’m a much better drummer. Played guitar on stage once with some friends…it was cool.
Hanging out with other friends? Hanging out watching TV? I mean – gad – hanging out with an ex-boy/girlfriend – who does that? Either you are or you aren’t an ex. You’re supposed to want your ex’s to stop existing when they become ex’s. At least stop existing anywhere nearby! Now I’m pissed too.
Alright…is CC coming back out or is our sh-t-pen going to come out and blow this game???
yep. that’s pretty shady Ath i’m sorry to say. especially since you guys have been together for so long???
COME ON CC!!!! HOLD THEM OFF!!!
I play an Ovation electric/acoustic and a Fender Strat. Though now just the acoustic since my son likes to wrap wires around himself!!
Great outing from Saito.
Okay offense, let’s get some runs.
I want a white fender strat. i’ve never played electric though….
f-ck. here we go.
She lives in Richmond, and he’s flying in to see some friends and supposedly couldn’t find anyone else to pick him up from the airport. So she’s picking him up, and they were going to grab a drink at the bar there.
She’s going to call me after she drops him off, so I have the angry-boyfriend-stopwatch running.
COME ON CC!!!!
I have a white (well . . . not really, its more cream and black) strat . . . though I use the one with a humbucker since I like that fat blues sound it produces. It’s the Fat Strat. Though I like to play my Ovation more – the fingerboard is more comfortable for me when I’m playing barre chords.
Lead off single! Let’s go, Pedroia
meh…that’s not so bad. i wouldn’t yell about it, rather explain why it’s kind of messed up that after being with you for 3.5 years, she still has a relationship with her ex-boyfriend. tell her even krueg and am sf agree. Lock too!!!

I got that guitar for my birthday in March. I didn’t really want it, but I gave it a chance and I took to it pretty quickly. I’m not good by any means, but I have fun, and I can play three songs pretty well: Since I’ve Been Loving You (the greatest break-up song ever), Stairway to Heaven, and As My Guitar Gently Weeps.
I suck at the latter two, but I’m average at Since I’ve Been Loving You.
Sounds super sweet bro…
COME ON CC!!!!
But can you rock “Hold My Hand” by Hootie…that is the question????
Haha she was defensive about it from the get go; she called me to tell me, and immediately was saying “Now relax, I’m trying to be proactive in telling you about it instead of trying to hide it…”
Like I said, there’s a little bit more of a history regarding this guy than I would like, and she knows this so I didn’t really have to say much. But that’s still annoying.
Nick Green base hit!
Im shocked that they’re leaving CC out there to pitch to Pedroia.
Right. No taxis at airports – those places are positively lacking in transportation. That’s why there are always so many people sleeping on the chairs and floors at airports. You can get to the airport, but you can’t leave. Bah.
CC at 120 pitches. Time for A.A. before Mariano.
f-ck. go away joe you ignoramus!!!! ok, good.
COME ON CC!!!!
i knew we were going to lose this game still. this is just f-cking pathetic.
This game will be the one that sinks our season. mark my f-cking words.
Yes, let CC earn his paycheck joe. The man is awesome. Really awesome. He’s your ace.
i am literally numb right now. i mean, seriously??? 0-8???
I’m lagging behind a bunch: Pedroia just walked, Sabathia staying out there to pitch to Drew.
JD DREW! Holy shit!
youk is gong to go yard…no doubt.
i hate to be “that guy” but if joba is in the pen, this doesn’t happen. this team is a f-cking mess.
that was a strike…that was ridiculous.
how many f-cking calls has this ump blown in the sox favor…
YOUK!!!
game over. good teams like the sox plate their runners…unlike the f-cking god damned choke-mees.
Youk is gunna hit into a triple play.
I guess I’m lagging too. I wish NESN was broadcast TV – we threw our TV out when the kid was born (it fries the brain you know ;) ) and all I have is a TV tuner card in my computer what is showing Magic-Lakers because I can’t watch the Sox . . .
BAY!!!! 3-3!
that will do it…goodnight guys. enjoy. i cannot watch anymore of this FUCKING SORRY_ASS BUNCH OF FUCKING LOSERS!!!! FUCK!!!
Youk is still batting for me!!!!! Go faster mlb.tv!
Papi lurking on deck
Lowell with the sac fly. Great comeback!
Okay Youk just singled, bases loaded for Bay. Though I already know Bay drives one in.
Mikey! (Maybe Gameday caught up?)
JASON BAY! 3-3! I’m way late on these but that’s cool.
Ridiculous non strike 3 call on Youk.
On last thing…why the FUCK DOES GIRARDI TAKE OUT CC???? AS IF ANY OF THE SORRY MOTHERFUCKERS IN OUR SHITPEN CAN GET A SINGLE FUCKING OUT!!!
FIRE JOE GIRARDI!!!! NOW!!! HE IS THE WORST FUCKING MANAGER IN MLB!!! JESUS CHRIST!!!
#1 STARTER??? NAAAAAAAHHH…I”M GOING TO GO TO MY PIECE OF SHIT BULLPEN TO GET A HUGE IMPORTANT WIN!!! HI, I”M JOE GIRARDI THE FUCKING RETARD!!!
Okay I reloaded mlb.tv and I’m all caught up. Come on Ortiz!
Ath, 4-3!
WOW. I mean. WOW. I love this baseball team!
And our man Papi is on :) – (to think just a week ago I would have been cringing to see him up)
Coke absolutely sucks. I know he had a nice first two weeks of the season, but he’s crap
Coke really did not go after Ortiz
Let’s get some insurance runs, because I don’t have complete faith in Paps’ ability to get two 1-run saves in a row.
I couldn’t tell – was that an intentional walk to Ortiz, 4 straight balls?
Come on Tek, insurance runs, please
Oh btw, the best part: all of Sabathia’s runners scored, so he’s up for the loss now.
No, he went after him. He’s just not a good pitcher.
Why Paps again – didn’t he pitch yesterday and he looked wobbly.
Well, here we go…..
Alright, let’s see if the home plate has the balls to give us a borderline call this inning. I say he doesn’t.
Frack. At least it was 4 pitches to Rocco this time as opposed to 3 like last time. Idiot.
Yeah, he had a stomach virus on Tuesday. Hopefully he’ll be back at 100% now.
Girardi went out to make it look like he’s doing his job. He would have been fired like 5 times today if The Boss was still running the joint.
Grrr I wish mlb.tv wouldn’t cut to a black screen. I want to see Papelbon enter to the Dropkick Murphys!
Since you guys are ahead Im going silent this inning. See you on the other side.
I wish mlb.tv wouldn’t black me out because I live in Cambridge! Why is it assumed that everyone has a TV and cable . . . we’re in the 21st century now . . .
Nice play by Green! Shocking
I take that back! YEAH NICK GREEN!
Lugo would have somehow let the runner score on that play.
Of course it comes down to Teixeira.
We still have Lugo? Darn. I was starting to hope he’d been traded for a hot dog and a box of crackerjacks.
BALLGAME!!!
“in play (outs)”. Yes?
Yes! Dirty water!
RED SOX WIN! SHIT YES!
8-0 on the season. And Toronto loses, which is important since they’re only three back.
I guess the only downer in this series was that PEDRod got a hit.
Well, on the basketball – good night :)
this one’s on girardi. cc was clearly on fumes, he had no one up, then it was aceves instead of mo or another arm. all adds up to a bad loss
Tito left MDC in too long, Girari left CC in too long.
…
What a crazy game. But we’re a season-best 12 games over .500 now.
I fully agree, YF. That was a season-high pitch count for CC, Red Sox radio said. And Swishy at least gets a third star of the series for us.
Mostly posting so I can refresh the comments without wading through everything, but I have to add that this was just amazing. I wasn’t following the game but a friend texted me asking if I was. Got online to see the scoreboard go final. Awesome, just made my day.
Now, if only the Sox could play the rest of the league like they’re playing New York, they’d have a nice lead — they’d be undefeated!
I’m sure this has been covered and I know Sabathia is a horse with regard to pitch count, but…
WTF was Girardi thinking leaving him in for so long in the 8th? He should have been gone after the Pedroia walk, if not sooner. Even bringing him in was iffy. And him losing this game is a minor travesty in what was such an excellently pitched game.
But I’m not complaining.
Well, Pitch FX agrees with me that Youkilis should have struck out before he singles in the eighth:
http://www.brooksbaseball.net/pfx/index.php?s_type=1&sp_type=1&batterX=090611_222632&inning1=y&inning2=y&inning3=y&inning4=y&inning5=y&inning6=y&inning7=y&inning8=y&inning9=y&month=06&day=11&game=gid_2009_06_11_nyamlb_bosmlb_1%2F&year=2009&pitchSel=469686.xml&prevGame=gid_2009_06_11_nyamlb_bosmlb_1%2F
Pitch #5 in the sequence, right before he singled, was over the inside corner. Seems to me like the Sox got almost every borderline call the last 2 games. But I know I’m sbjective, so I’ll be checking out the rest of the game logs from Pitch FX to see if that’s true.
Mark, there were plenty of calls that didn’t go the Sox’ way, especially some big ones for Delcarmen. Having said that, it did seem like there were a lot of them while the Sox were batting with 2 strikes. Several times I went “ouch, shoulda been a backwards K there.”
