Wakefield did alright (7-6-3-4-0, 97) -- no Toronto batters struck out tonight -- but trailing by three runs during this team-wide slump was like being down by 15.
And now ... it's a weekend battle for first place with the Rays. Boston (17-13) and Tampa Bay (16-12) are tied atop the East.

«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 349 of 349is this Heineken commercial really going to be on every single NESN commercial break?
Go Amy. :)
NOOO I was 201 and not Ish. I'm thinking of deleting my comment and letting ish take it
Joe Grav with the 201
I'm continually fascinated by guys who find her in any way attractive. I just don't get it.
I'm indifferent. But if somehow you found yourself in a room with her and things could head in that direction, I'd think it'd be hard to say no.
No no, it doesn't have to be Ish. We've won games with other 201ers.

I transfer my bogus-walkoff-ability vibes to you.
The WH Correspondents Dinner speech was gold, you could see GWB was s#itting bricks, trying to look amused
I'm not sure who I'd vote for if HRC got the nomination (I'm not a particularly big fan of Nader, either). For a while, I would have been content with either Dem nominee, but slash-and-burn politics turns me off.
2 run triple for Det. 6-4 Tigers
Thank you ish.
And ugh... I just don't see it. I'm not a big fan of STDs.
Am I allowed to say that on a family blog?
Wow. MLB.tv way behind on me. Crisp just made first out of 7th.
Wowed by fake breasts? You can see fake tits every five minutes on TV.
High, high, high off the wall.
Please take the Manny count-up off the monster, it's been a jinx
Hazel Mae holds no attraction for me.
JG, this is not a family blog. Or it is, but the family is two foul-mouthed Sox fans and their dogs. Say whatever you like.
(Unless you're a wingnut, then shut up.)
I love Colbert, have gone to 3 or 4 tapings of the Report. Haven't watched the show much lately, but we did buy his ice cream tonight before the game!
Just watch your local newscast, or FOX News (god help you) for 3 minutes and you can get your fill of fake breasts for the day... and some of them can even form complete sentences
And ugh... I just don't see it. I'm not a big fan of STDs.
Theoretically, if she appeared magically in your room one night, and then would disappear afterward without any consequences, etc.
I want to go to a taping, I put in for tickets but I don't know whatever became of my ticket application.
The ladyfriend and I are going to New York for a quick weekend trip at the end of May.
Even then, ish, I'm just not sure.
Me, too, Joe. At one point I was on the fence. But the way the Clintons have run this campaign has truly sickened me.
I don't love Nader. This would obviously be a protest vote, easy for me to do here in MA since the Dems will win here anyway.
Ian Kennedy tonight: 4.2 IP, 4 ER. So right about the usual for the Yankee Cy Guys
Many hetero men appear to find any woman with long hair and cleavage and a not-horrible face attractive. Like they have almost no standards.
And many non-hetro men appear to be the same way about the male equivalent.
I'll never understand it, but then...
Yah, same here. I think I would vote for Gravel if he got the LP nomination. That party is a real cluster-bleep right now, so he might have a chance.
RUNS TIME.
No consequences? Then hit her over the head with your nightstand, swipe her wallet, and buy some Red Sox tickets.
The ladyfriend and I are going to New York for a quick weekend trip at the end of May.
Yay! Great time of year to go, too.
Many hetero men appear to find any woman with long hair and cleavage and a not-horrible face attractive.
I've always thought that. Plus it's like "YO DOOD SHE IS ON NESN" which makes people overrate her even more. Almost as much as Danica Patrick (barf)
Phil's got the right use for Hazel.
jere doubleposted. You can't delete the shame, jere.
I like Danica.
But not b/c she's on NESN. In fact, I've never seen her on TV, ever.
Many hetero men appear to find any woman with long hair and cleavage and a not-horrible face attractive. Like they have almost no standards.
Interesting mental exercise: Look at any woman (or guy) you see, and decide, if they showed up magically in your room, whether you would or not. No consequences. Nobody would know.
Steam the spinach.
We're also going for two days in mid-August, as one of her favorite musicians from across the pond (Jarvis Cocker, formerly of Pulp) is doing a show at Terminal 5.
We're still trying to figure out what else we're going to do. I want to go to the Mets game, but I don't think that will fly. Central Park is always a winner.
"I want to go to a taping, I put in for tickets but I don't know whatever became of my ticket application."
Weird. I never had a problem. But if you do get tix, get there early or you'll get shut out.
I respect and appreciate what Danica is doing, especially since the other racers and the media have such a patronizing attitude toward her, but I've never gotten the "Danica-as-attractive" thing.
GAHH NOTHING IS FALLING DOWN GAHH
I like Danica.
But not b/c she's on NESN. In fact, I've never seen her on TV, ever.
Danica Patrick? On NESN? I'm confused.
two balls that looked like hits, nothing to show...
fucking guy is at 110 pitches -- their pen sucks balls -- TAKE A FUCKING PITCH YOOK -- JESUS SHIT.
I rememer when the Red Sox used to score lots of runs. Do you remember...? Those were the days. Early and mid April, I think it was.
Thank God. No more Burnett. Let this please haunt Tor. the way taking out that kid (Guthrie?) hurt the Orioles last mothers day.
When will this team-wide hitting slump be over?
At least Papi seems to be back. But this is so frustrating.
These games have been so short.
In my day --- Back in the olden days, a simpler time before between-innings commercials and before "Jeremiah Wright" was a household name --- the Red Sox were awesome at offense
How about a solo dong?
I respect and appreciate what Danica is doing, especially since the other racers and the media have such a patronizing attitude toward her, but I've never gotten the "Danica-as-attractive" thing.
She reminds me of my sister. But I think there is something about her that people do like. I think she's a lot like Hillary Clinton - I don't look at her on a different level than the other racers (or candidates) because they're women.
I'd like to see her win Indy sometime. I would not like to see Clinton win anything. But that's another story.
I don't know if Danica Patrick is on NESN, I was just going by Joe's post re "she's on NESN, so.. like Danica Patrick". I probably read it wrong.
JG, email me if you need any info or whatever on NYC. Before my knowledge gets too outdated.
She does seem like a nice person. I'd like to see her win. Although there is this guy named Justin Simmons or something who went to Boston College who races in some of those, so I'd probably root for him.
1-2-3 again.
Let's play a game:
This is more frustrating than...
but less frustrating than...
Ya know we aren't scoring any runs when the topices are, camera angles, homework and fake tits......
L , my favorite players in the past were Lynn and Nomar.....When I played baseball or softball I even did that annoying thing with my batting gloves....
L, I was actually thinking about emailing you about finding a cheap hotel for August.
lopez in

Hmm, interesting. I keep getting baffled whenever I hear the name Will Power.
This more frustrating than than waiting for Nomar to step up to the plate, but less frustrating than when he would pop up the first pitch.

I wonder if the girl with the paddle in your avatar does that annoying thing like Nomar...
Maybe on this blog. Breasts probably have a way of winding their way into sports chat in the rest of the world, irrespective of the score.
bj ryan sighting -- let's light that fuckhead up in the 9th.
..
flo makes that out and buffy says "and that's one away" ... umm, buffy that's 3 away, see the team jogging off the field?
True.
I read that Hughes actually has a broken Rib out til July
A little thing that annoys me is how bad Lopez is against left-handed batters, and how good he is against righties. And yet, he's still comes in against lefties as a lefty specialist.
I read that Hughes actually has a broken Rib out til July
Yeah, heard that on the radio. Stress fracture.
rut. roh.
Aardsma , has been decent , but hasn't been trusted in any huge spots yet
Seems like an interesting injury to crop up on a pitcher. A broken rib.
Well, he's a lefty, so he has to pitch against lefties, just how you have to bunt/play hit and run in this situation, and you HAVE to wait for a save situation to bring in the closer.
Don't you know the rules?
just seeing eckstein choking up on the bat pisses me off a lot.
and as for the Danica/NESN thing, I didn't adequately explain myself but I thought it was self evident : guys/ the media tend to over-blow the hot-ness of any female who has anything to do with sports, as if women covering/playing/being big fans of sports was any sort of novelty these days.

yes it is....

I'd want to throw the ball so it hits the knob of the bat and goes foul.
It still bugs me when he sprints to first on a walk.
re: Eckstein choking up: I was saying that the other day to my dad - that, and how he loops the ball when he throws - and he thought i was totally insane

There are certainly a lot of job opportunities. Though I'm not sure, for instance, if you'll ever hear a woman doing play-by-play for baseball.

Erin Andrews is hot and I am glad she is in sports and not the late local news....
re: Erin Andrews. Yes. Yes she is.
Erin Andrews is hot and I am glad she is in sports and not the late local news....
Kathryn Tappen, too. imo.
coming in to pitch: toasty mcwhydontyouretirealready.
Although maybe I'm a hypocrite, because I think Amalie Benjamin is very attractive.

One woman does the NBA play by play for espn....and they also have a woman doing college football play by play
I believe we've already had the Kathyrn Tappan discussion on this blog at some point (not that I'm complaining)
Don said that the Redsox are trying to keep right where it is, in reference to bringing in the shittiest relief pitcher this side of little league.
Timlin in. No comment.
no K for sox pitchers tonight.
I think "Black Betty" is the polar opposite of "Dirty Water." Guaranteed loss.
I like women. I want a woman to do my daily life play by play.
One woman does the NBA play by play for espn....and they also have a woman doing college football play by play
I thought she did color. I heard a woman doing color for an NBA game with Dan Shulman doing pbp.
timlin: 14 hits in 6 innings and almost 3 baserunners per inning
yay!
Pam Ward is a horrible play-by-play announcer. I'd have to think she's set back the cause of female pbp announcers for a long time, as she is just bad.
Ohhh black betty bam ba timlam

True, but it had to be said.

There a lot of men just as bad....
One of many reasons to miss Bruins Overtime Live.
True, 9casey. I'm not saying it impacts MY opinion of female pbp annoucners, I'm saying it might influence the opinion of others, since she's quite prominent.
Timlin's back ..YESSSSSSSSSS
Three outs to get 4 or at least 3 runs...
Timlin's not pitching any more... yessss
COMEBACK THYME
TYR* in progress. First two guys get out. Next guy hits one that the shortsop doesn't put his glove down for. Damon hits one about 30 feet and the catcher can't pick up the ball on the wet grass. Jeter (after Kay talks about whether or not he was "born with his clucth ability") hits a slow roller to third and beats it out.
*Typical Yankee Rally
be manny.
Lost my wireless connex for a while.
Our Buffyvision announcer was a teammate of Timlin's on the Jays. When the old has-been announcer was your teammate, it's time to retire!
But Abreu strands three! 6-4 Det after 6..
But a home run would be a rally killer! [/stupidity]
ahhhh hit that 12 yr old his homer manuel
I am sure you will see a woman doing pbp in baseball, in the not-distant future.
Didn't Ryan used to hit mid 90's?
walk him. walk him.
good eye manny
Well, he walked him, but Manny didn't oblige.
I am sure you will see a woman doing pbp in baseball, in the not-distant future.
I agree. I can't say I think it will never happen. And it's not a bad idea - personality is key. She needs to make you think of Danica Patrick and Hillary Clinton and, yes, Suzyn Waldman: not make you think she's a woman. Make you think she's a pbp announcer. Or a politician. Or a race car driver.
guys/ the media tend to over-blow the hot-ness of any female who has anything to do with sports, as if women covering/playing/being big fans of sports was any sort of novelty these days.
God is this ever true. Including Kathryn Tappan. Cute, but come on, just another one on TV. There's a million of them.
Damn. I haven't seen a Sox win in a while.
Uch, not feeling the walkoff tonight.
Ish, whatever you might think of any of those women, they are those things - race car driver, politician, sportscaster. There are many men equally as good or bad, and no one questions whether they are "really" in their profession.
I know you don't mean to be sexist, but perhaps it's coming out inadvertantly.
If they lose, they lose. You lose a third each season. But they haven't scored a run. We've been banging on about this for awhile, but another shutout - oi.
players you hate for no apparent reason: ryan is on my list.
Miggy dong. 8-4 Tigers.
Come on Coco, one hit and the tying run's up
gah.
wait! not over!
Balk?
Ugh. This game sucked.
.... Wait, we're still playing?
from urbandictionary:
"Press Box Hot:
An interesting phenomenon that occurs when a semi-attractive female enters a sports-related setting. Instantly, her stock rises several points because of the high percentage of dudes in the press box. A similar phenomenon occurs, when one chick attends a sausage fest or sword fight.
Press box hot can turn a chick who is normally a 5 out of 10 into a 9"
Huh? what? HAHAHAHAHAHAHA Please come back. Please!
THis would be the greatest thing in the history of ever.
Joe, nice find!
I know you don't mean to be sexist, but perhaps it's coming out inadvertantly.
Might have turned out that way. What I mean is the fact they're women is secondary to just the type of person they are. But either way.
Weird happenings right now. Balk? Ryan has a very short pause when he sets to when the pitches. Could have been that.
For a second, I really thought that he was just going to pop up the next pitch.
Oh boy!
Tying run to the plate!
nice! now we tie it!!!!
WHOO-HOO! We are still alive.
Amazing.
players you hate for no apparent reason: ryan is on my list.
Mine too.
BWAHAHAHAHA
COME ON LOWRIEEEEEE!
Maybe Ryan will be so rattled...
People are still standing from when they got up to leave.
You can tell Ryan's not throwing anything inside. No monster shots.
i saw this happened against the sox at the toilet. gameove r- mfy came back and won
They give Coco second base. Interesting. 2 runs on a base hit.
This would/could be more ridiculous than mothers day 07
What I mean is the fact they're women is secondary to just the type of person they are.
That should always be the case, when judging any public person.
Buffyvision is acting like they've never seen anything weird ever happen in any baseball game ever.
redsock--1993, right? time called, last out nullified.
LAME
Heh. Ryan goes into a roid rage after the third out.
Oh well. All we did was get an extra out.
LAME LAME LAME LAME
The water almost got itself dirtied up, but - it is clean.
Bleh.
Blah. At least we won two out of three against this team.
Yep - won the series.
See you all tomorrow.
9/18/93
(from memory)
jere -- there was a fly ball to left that should have been the 3rd out but a fan ran out on the field and time was called before the batter hit the ball. this fan ran down an aisle on the 3B side and actually ran right by me.
so the out is called back. guy gets a hit. i think the next 2 got hits and the yankees ended up with a walkoff win.
yep, that was the game.
i thought it was greenwell out there.
I remembered when it was because I had just gone to college and was on the phone with my parents, and one of my Yankee fan friends was over there watching the game with them when it all went down.
shit - 3 hits and a walk after what should have been the last out.
Wow I had gameday up and they have the game finishing on Crips popout
Crisps
