Red Sox - 010 131 030 - 9 13 0Recap: Things were very shitty.
Yankees - 510 010 004 - 11 13 0
Then they got better.
Then they got really good and there was much merriment.
Then they got very shitty again, very quickly.
The End.

Dice had one of his best starts in a Red Sox uniform against the Blue Jays on May 11 (7-3-1-0-9, 106). More like that, please.
Hughes (5-0, 1.38 ERA) is the first Yankees pitcher with five wins and a sub 1.50 ERA through his first six starts since "Bullet" Bob Turley in 1958. Hughes faced Boston back on May 7 (7-7-2-1-7, 101). His BABIP is an unsustainably-low .223.
Jacoby Ellsbury played for the PawSox today: 1-for-3 (single, walk, run). He will play the outfield for Portland tomorrow.
1939 - The first baseball game ever televised: Princeton's 2-1 victory over Columbia at the Baker Bowl is broadcast over W2XBS in New York City. The Times: "It is difficult to see how this sort of thing can catch the public fancy."
1945 - Every American League game is rained out for the fourth consecutive day.
1971 - Tommy McCraw of the Senators circles the bases for an inside-the-park home run when three Cleveland fielders (shortstop Jack Heidemann and outfielders Vada Pinson and John Lowenstein) collide while trying to catch his 140-foot pop-up.
1979 - On a windy day at Wrigley Field, the Phillies beat the Cubs 23-22 in 10 innings. Each starting pitcher lasts only 0.1 of an inning.

Allan has been torturing Tala by saying all her favourite words. "We'll go in the CAR to the PARK and for a WALK..." Her twists her head around with every word. It is entirely too cute.
Yes Dos Equis ads
OB: scutaro took that throw at 2b, not pedroia. open yer eyes.
I'm still watching (on the computer), just not threading. That's a little too much multi-tasking.
Yook better not be hurt!
instant rally!
just add chan ho park!
Chan Ho Park, aka Diarrhea. (I know I posted this a while back but it's still funny to me. And to his teammates, too, apparently!)
chan ho poop.
I like it!
On NESN they showed Tito arguing with the umpire then God Bless America starts playing and they both realize it, have sort of an "Oops!" moment, take off their hats and face the flag.
They had to, of course, or else Yankee Stadium security would throw them out and call them unpatriotic.
Steinbrenner would send Tito to Gitmo
That was pretty funny on TV, tho. Oops, gotta stop arguing, take my cap off!
tito - bagged, gagged and on a flight to bagram
Drew!
drew keeps rockin
Drewingle!
On Fire is on fire!
Got a call from my daughter so got taken away from the game.
bad daughter.
YOUKKKK!
WOW
YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOk
flash that sweaty dong
SWEAT POWERED!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WE HAVE THE LEAD!!!!
YOOOOOOOOOK!
Hi all!
I can multi-task this. YOUK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THE SULTAN OF SWEAT STRIKES AGAIN.
chan ho (out of the) park!
Before Yook hit that, I was about to type...
Your daughter should know better :)
When our phone rings during a game, I alway say, who is calling us during a Boston-NYY game?? Goes to voice mail.
OMG this is incredible.
This daughter doesn't know better.
B2B!
Diarrhea is running down the Yankees' legs right now.
OB said it was good yok did not hit that to hard.
would hitting it harder mean it would not go over the fence?
DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOBNG
PARK IS TEH SHIT!!!!!!!!!
I reiterate my previous comment.
ching chang DONG!
Hey Tim! Joe Grav and Ish might come up for the Sox-Jays series in August. JoS2.ca!
OMG!!!!!!!! EXTRA EXTRA MART!!!
Welcome Back Chan-Ho!
mmmmmmmmmmmmmm ... that's good middle relief! (/art fern)
That would be sweet, when is that series? (The one series I can probably go to...possibly 1 game in July but doubtful on that)
Oh it's the non-baseball daughter.
My comment to Tim got hijacked by a dong.
Yay!!
Aug 11 & 12
Aug 11 we would go to the game, and Aug 12 we would watch at our place and hang out
(On our barbaric non-flat-screen TV)
Did you see that really sad kid in the stands?
Okay, I'm back.
Nice call again Allan! (on the Park comeback)
calling the comeback against park is like predicting the sun will rise in the east tomorrow morning ...
Think of it, Dice K gave up 5 runs in the 1st, and here we are ahead in the 8th!
We are great :)
i think rays and clev tied in the 10th
baseball > 24 !! :)
Right on, that should be doable for me!
Ha, L. Yes it is.
Another nickname suggested to me by a friend of mine for Park: The Runny Korean.
6 outs to go.
bard n bot
five more
5 more outs. Can. They. Hold. Lead. ?
four
in the role of mr. 24, it's mr. 27
Jeter is allowed to ground into an inning ending DP
Moving Drew to #3 and VMart to #5 was a good move. Hitters 3-6 tonight are 8 for 16 with 8 RBIs and 7 runs scored. Of course, we can't hit against Chan Ho Park every day (darn).
I meant force out.
where did that miss? high?
bard, do not be bbard
the mfy auto has a broken clutch.
woop
So sweet.
YES! K-Bard

I put emma to bed almost 2 hours ago and hung out with her a long time. rough night. 5-run 1st, work woes and tired for me; tired and mandatory violin practice for her.
I then fell asleep too listening to the game on the radio. Each time the sox would score it'd wake me up. back to back got me back in front of the TV.
to the 9th!
16 insurance runs would be nice.
Incidentally, in '78 I moved to Massachusetts for the 1st time. Just before I turned 4. From Madison to Wendell.
alright 12-7 here we come.
That's cool, before you turned 4. Hopefully you qualify as a native.
vazquez, the guy the mfy wanted to skip in this series, up
Nomar: "Girardi does such a good job with his bullpen"
I LOL'd.
Aaron F'ing Boone speculating that JtC might be hurt. That's why they went to Rivera early yesterday and JtC is not available tonight.
I'd feel better with 2 more runs.
JD may make nick's request come true...
No native me, though it's very much the place I identify w/. Just before 7 we moved to upstate NY (Cortland), then southern California for 2 years (Riverside). Then back to Northampton for high school. I've been living in western Massachusetts for the last 22 year though.
12-7....c'mon.
Every time I hear of Wendell, Massachusetts I think of tornadoes.
Drive-by posting tonight, but when the Sox were down 6-1, I did not give up.
NEVER give up! NEVER say uncle!
Rawr! Skunks have fierce!
No Werd on that one. Make it so, Youk.
In case anyone thought otherwise... I NEVER give up while watching a game. N-E-V-E-R
OT, but on XM, it's the Yankees feed.
They sure whine a lot about all their guys being hurt!
re vazquez: yook needs to damonize him
Bicoastal then. Plus upstate. I love upstate NY.
passed ball first pitch.
Be sweet if this guy melts down.
rays in bot 11th

Unless my skunk sense is wrong -- and it rarely is -- this is the game that's gonna turn their season around!
Time for Pap---I will try to remain calm.
it's the little red sock in the post.
I have to find some mantra to say when Pap comes in....
COME ON, NO SCREWING AROUND.
If we had a dollar for every game that's supposed to turn the season around...
So much for calm.
the fucking fuck
Shit...
ok everybody breathe
I sure wish we had improved our defense in the off season...
gardner can score, i dont care
get the batters out.
Amy said...
Shit...
if that's your mantra, run with it!
2
scary.
Phew.
Ommmmm. (meditating)
I'm not counting. Anybody?
Two phews. Conflicting edits.
Hate seeing ARod at bat.
NFW.
Like I said....
HATE PAPELBON AGAIN.
Fuckshitassholes.
well now
*
shit...
and poop and duty and crap and ...
win in extras
[sigh]
$$#%^#$%#$#^%@
Paps making a liar out of my skunk senses....
From my son: "Just get through this inning. We shouldn't even be in the ballgame."
Papelbon is trying to smell like skunk scents
Who do we have up in the pen for the 10th? MDC? Better not be RamRam.
That pitch was up and in I have no idea how A-Rod got the barrel of the bat on it.
Pappy Le Pew.
What might save us here is that the MFY bullpen is basically empty.
I had the same thought, Mrs G. We expected to lose almost four hours ago, so I guess we should be happy we still are tied.
castis is semi-truping us on that fly - it's 45 feet from the track.. jesus.
Yes, wisdom from Mrs G's son
i hate sports
I can't see any bullpen w/ Mariano in it as empty
OK doesn't matter...
Papelbon is still on my SHIT list.
Grim.
wow
i'm gonna go grab a seat beside amy for awhile...
wow.
bad.
Going to go reread Laura's post and figure out why I am a fan...
Well, that was a big bowl of poo....
WTFingF
What a stinkin' Pap meltdown.
HORSE SHIT
So much for our closer.
hmm.... back to bed.
Four runs given up by Papelbon in the 9th. That'll clean your water, right there.
SKUNK SHIT.
That's OK, we're still gonna turn it around...
.... just not tonight....
.. Crap, crap, crap, crap ...
the comeback that wasn't
CLEAN WATER.
I've stopped believing. That we'll win tonight's game. Because it's over. But not tomorrow, not Wednesday, not September 30th, not EVER until the final score is known.
Tampa also won at the same moment the MFY did.
yeah, that was a tough loss
nice threading with you all. too bad we don't leave happy.
G'night
Glad to see they didn't give up after being down 5 runs in the first, but still, this one hurts.
Oh, well, there's always the Bruins..
Oh, wait ... damn!
hasn't seen a blown save like this, eh mr. mustache?
Boston sports are really regressing to their norm of painful losses. Cept for the Celtics, but who cares about them.
This will be a trying year.
Night all.
Ugh.
So the turnaround starts tomorrow night.
I'm with Allan. The turnaroound starts tomorrow. There are definitely good signs lately. We just need too see them translated into victories.
Papi's night, and for that matter, his week, is a good sign. The offense coming through after being down early is a good sign. This team did a great job of staging a fantastic comeback against what is undoubtably one of the strongest teams in baseball. Then 1 guy gave it back. I think it might be time to look at moving Bard to the closer spot. Papelbon is just too damn good at justifying Amy's worries.
In the meantime, the band was great tonight, and the goings-on on TV were great as well, for a while. Son Taylor is home for a change, and we were giddy at the prospect of seeing a comeback win vs. the MFY. Those are the best V's anyway.
So, I guess we start tomorrow, er, tonight.
