Congrats Bradford.
i hope jere got pictures!
That was a smash. Show it again please
Classy touch by Balt PA
I hope that means MBM is about to go on a tear.
holy shit, jere is there!
Aww man, I get up to dice tofu and he hits #500.
Fucking tofu.
MANNY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ellsbury's twin C Gomez singles in a run. 6-4 Yanks.
The Bad Man should get a nice ovation on Tuesday!
Surviving Grady called it.
Can that site's collective ego withstand a further swagger?
fucking tofu. that oughta be a nickname.
SG: still can be funny, but its schtick has run a bit dry for me after 3+ years.
If I got that home run I would be such a douche trying to get season tickets or as much as I could.
same here. and it doesn't really ever try to do anything aside from its schtick. there have been like maybe 3 posts all year reacting to games.
I haven't enjoyed a SG post for awhile. Sometimes they get be bent over with laughter though.
Meanwhile, ahhhdsma!
I don't like that site and never understand it's popularity.
But what's new. Story of my life.
If I got that ball, I wouldn't give it up for anything. There would be nothing they could offer me.
i've wanted for awhile to collect all the references red makes to his genitals. there is one in every post. every time. actually amusing at this point. i assume he has to know he does it and now it is a tradition.
...
i catch that ball -- i demand a ring!
Wholy Crap! Way to go AArdvark!
I'd take season tickets
and something signed by Manny in person
that was the first reason i didn't like it. what's with all the sweaty balls talk? can't this guy think of anything besides sweaty testicles?
but even when i got past that, it was still just shtick.
ahhdsmeR
How about one AB as a pinch-hitter?
A ring or season tickets aren't at all unreasonable consider how much you could make putting that ball on Ebay.
onions
twigs and berries
etc.
I'd take the ball signed by Manny in person, a kiss, and then I get to keep the ball.
Season tix at Fenway wouldn't do me much good.
And I would never sell it, either!
That's not true. I might sell it one day. But I wouldn't trade it for no tickets or a bat.
Twins threatening. 6-5
didn't manny say he was going to put HR 400 on ebay? he said he thought he could bring in at least $40. !!!
How about one AB as a pinch-hitter?
Oh man... That reminds me of a quote from "Fever Pitch" (the book about soccer, not the movie) - something like "Sometimes I think that if I could get the chance to just score one goal into the North Bank and hear the roar of the crowd, I could put all childish things behind."
OK, I leave in 15 minutes. Score prediction for when I get home?
I'm saying 6-3 Sox.
i don't mean to rag on those guys, because they've been great to me and jos. and i bought their book. but they do come close to self-parody at times.
Could Manny's pitch have been a bigger meatball?
Season tix at Fenway wouldn't do me much good.
That would be the ultimate dream for me. Well aside from cracking a homer over the monster in one pinch hit appearance.
MFY 6, Twins 5 (end 6)
UGH
Mine would be bouncing a home run off Damon's head into the right field stands. Maybe the Monster too, but the physics on that might be a a little trickier.
i don't mean to rag on those guys, because they've been great to me and jos. and i bought their book.
i often want to rag on blogs and then remember... i should not. :)
no score predicts?
TEK IS ON FIRE!
15-3 sox
A run's a run, I guess.
Lugo gets one in, in true Lugo fashion.
alright! sounds good, joe. it's already the score i predicted.
did tek get a 3rd hit? i was away from the headphones.
Orioles 9-6.
Griffey hit #599 today. I guess it's good Manny got his milestone HR before the next.
Orioles 9-6.
oh fuck you! :)
That was Coco doing it in Lugo fashion.
I'm surprised by how often Lugo's been walking these few weeks.
my bad that was crisp
mannehh
the radio guys say manny's been talking up a storm and singing on the plane. entertaining duets with whoever will go for it.
is that a "Let's go Celtics" chant?
Better than Yankees Suck
lugo untied millar's shoe?
I love Millar. If the Sox offered him the bench coach spot, he would def. take it.
as long as he's only the bench...
Evening, everyone. Had the radio on and the game on the little TV in the living room when Manny came up. Then, as I was switching the game to the big TV, which takes ohhhh 3 seconds. Manny hit it.
Millar showing up to pump up the sox during the ALCS last year had to be unprecedented for someone on another team
see you all later - only 9 runs to go
CHOCOLATE RAIN JUST GAVE UP A GAME-TYING HR!
I like this scoring in more than one inning this we are doing tonight. It's pretty ok.
The problem with Millar is that if something happened with the manager, guess who'd be managing the Boston Red Sox? Yep. Kevin Millar.
YEEESSS! GO TWINS!
oh crap.
assistant bench coach
Just sack Wally and make Millar the mascot.
There we go. He wouldn't even need a suit.
K
10 pitches. Bring him back for the 9th?
Pittsburgh is up 14-2. How does something like that happen?
It's baseball
more runs pls
Maybe for Oki. Everyones pitched between today and yesterday.
yes
Pittsburgh is up 14-2. How does something like that happen?
Too bad that wasn't hockey.
Happiness. "Everything rises and shines with Ortiz and Ramirez"
Jim Palmer
jeez, how big of a swing was it?
eek yea that does look a bit painful
crap
Oh cock.
Injury delay?
My boy Craig Breslow is pitching for MIN!
What happened to Papi?
Ha he'll end up walking.
Shoulda put Bailey up there.
Must be weird to come in with a full count.
casey's gonna jack one, actually
GDGD isn't sure how to handle it and thinks Casey's already hit Papi's homerun this game.
Almost drilled it.
MANNY MANNY MANNY
Does that count as a flyout for Casey or Ortiz?
GDGD isn't sure how to handle it and thinks Casey's already hit Papi's homerun this game.
Injuries just screw up everything, don't they?
Does that count as a flyout for Casey or Ortiz?
I'm pretty sure it's for Ortiz.
What if Casey hit a dong?
Drew's got a batting helmet in the dugout.
What if Casey hit a dong?
Should still be Ortiz's dong.
It never ceases to amaze me just how many Red Sox fans are in Baltimore.
hmm , you're the 2nd person to tell me that, ish. I don't think that's true, but I don't really have anything to base it on. Other than that it seems weird.
What if Casey hit a dong?
Should still be Ortiz's dong.
I'm just not even gonna touch this one.
You're not going to touch the dong?
Can you imagine if Manny had to be taken out mid-count and Casey came in and hit Manny's 500th?
Manny said he'd come on the radio after he hit #500. That'll be an interesting interview.
bad call
You're not going to touch the dong?
At least not tonight.
Can you imagine if Manny had to be taken out mid-count and Casey came in and hit Manny's 500th?
What do you think would be crazier? Someone else hitting Manny's 500th dong for him? Or Manny hitting an inside-the-park home run for #500?
if casey hits it, it's gotta be his.
GO TWINKIES
ITPHR for a milestone would be AWESOME.
Quick, someone scan the MLB rulebook
Before the game, Manny was joking and saying #500 would be ITP.
if casey hits it, it's gotta be his.
Is that speculation? Or are you saying that's the way it is? How can you come in for an injured batter and strike out, have the K be charged to the injured guy, but not have a hit or dong credited to the injured guy?
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaardsma en route to a win tonight.
Must be a save situation.
Googling "substitution during an at-bat" = not helpful
Time for a vintage Papelbonian save.
1
aww, there goes the 9 pitch 3 K plan
ahhhhhhhh diddly poo
Milkdud singles with no outs.
come on pap
Who do they have pitching, Phil? Nathan?
NECBL alum Joe Nathan*
ut oh
dp pls
Yikes
WTF pap come on
Rule 10.15(b): "When a batter leaves the game with two strikes against him, and the substitute batter completes a strikeout, the official scorer shall charge the strikeout and the time at bat to the first batter. If the substitute batter completes the turn at bat in any other manner, including a base on balls, the official scorer shall score the action as having been that of the substitute batter."
the bot has a wire loose or something.
They find new and creative ways to win ballgames.
DIRTY WATER, brought to you by John Farrell.
Damon hit a DP.
I see you guys have been keeping things in line without me. Well done!
(More stunningly average dance has been standing between me and baseball the past few days. You know how crazy that makes me.)
wow. that was sudden. hahaha
that water is absolutely filthy!
I love that dirty water!
Water indeed.
MFYs still tied, heading into the bottom of the 9th. (Yeah, it was Nathan pitching.)
Ima stick around so we can hopefully revel in the yankees loss together...
Got home just in time to see the game-ending dp. How scary was that final frame? Can anyone recap for me?
Inning went: K, little dribbler single up the middle, BB, at-mound conference, LIDP
Oh Sarah, you missed Manny's 500?! Because of bad dance?
I got hockey on, keep me updated re: MFY/Minnesota game
the bot has a wire loose or something.
I was afraid of that.
Thanks Joe. OK, no big deal. We never like to see Bot walk anyone, but it's gonna happen sometimes.
DIRTY WATER!!!
See, we CAN win on the road!!
He has over a 5:1 K:BB ratio LOL. Something like 43 BB in his career.
not scary at all. seriously.
The only scariness was with Papi's maybe-injury, not Paps.
The Mop gets two quick outs.
Joe, it's getting late for the Pens.
Yes it is. Zetterberg was beastly on that PK.
And they go to extras.
top 10th in M I N N E S O T A
extras in minny.
Going into extras at the metrodome
Anyone know anything about Papi?
Ish, Detroit is so good at collapsing around the net and keeping the pens from getting rebounds
Ish, Detroit is so good at collapsing around the net and keeping the pens from getting rebounds
Lots of action behind Detroit's net right now, but you're right. All the Pens can do is cycle it to the sides of the net and behind.
As long as that's happenin', they won't be scorin'. Not against Osgood.
M-I-N-N-E-S-O-T-A!!!
MINNESOTA!
MINNESOTA!
Yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy, TWINKIES!
Only two games going on at the moment
TOR 1 LAA 1 in the 7th
A-Rod got caught trying to steal third.
I bet he feels real smart right now.
A-Rod caught stealing third.
detroit to win
Goadjilla popped out to third. going to the bottom of the 10th 6-6
was the the final final game for hockey?
Bugger. Looks like the Penguins are basically cooked. Oh well. It was no question the Wings were the best team all season, though. In the entire league.
was the the final final game for hockey?
Detroit 2
Pittsburgh 1
I'd really like to see the Pens at least take them 6, but I don't see Detroit losing at home.
Most Cdn hockey fans wanted Pitt b/c of Crosby. But now I learned that Newfoundland has a native son on the Red Wings.
TRIPLE for Mike Lamb!
A-Rod caught stealing third.
Who does he think he is, Ellsbury?
Yup, Laura, totally missed Manny's 500 because of bad dance. I don't really know why May is bad dance month, but it sure is.
There was one decent peice actually. And one that had a good premise, but lousy execution.
I do have this adorable development to share though...
HGH with some words of advice!
Just watched Manny's 500th on Redsox.com. Twice. Now... three times.
Sweet.
A bunny??? You got a bunny?? How sweet! And an adorable little gray one too! Where is it going to live?
shit - gomez hacking at pitchouts.
rally bunny!
NO GOMEZ!
going to 11 at the land of moose.
Sarah, here's a weird coincidence: bassoonist, staying with the dogs? She has a bunny! What are the odds?
She's going to put the cage in a spare bedroom here. I'm a little nervous that Tala will... put it this way, Tala has a strong prey drive. She goes after birds, squirrels and such.
Red Sox fan from Manhattan caught the ball, presented it to Manny, who will sell the ball and donate the proceeds to charity.
rally bunny!
did you look? it's totally adorable.
Come on Rincon.
good night all! enjoy.
I love bunnies. My favorite animal
still 6-6 going into bot11
Papi: sprained wrist. day to day. X-Rays negative.
Yanks go down in order. Twins have another chance to walk off.
1st and 2nd, no outs, for the Twins against the 'dorf.
Go Twinkys go
come on morneau, make canada proud!
F8 - no tag.
come on cuddyer, make america proud
K-uddyer
kubel -- your moment to shine!

hate the dorf!
Twelve innings.
pop to damon along the LF line ... 12th inning ...
Wow, I missed it....So mad.
Chad Bradford has sure been our friend these last two games.
Jays Angels game stuck at 2 in the top of the 9th.
