Red Sox - 000 001 110 - 3 10 0Boston rallied to take a 3-2 lead in the eighth, but they blew a chance to add to that slim advantage when Alex Cora grounded into an inning-ending double play with the bases loaded.
Orioles - 000 200 04x - 6 9 0
Hideki Okajima relieved Wakefield (7-5-2-4-3, 109) in the bottom of the inning. He struggled from his first pitch, allowing three straight singles. He got two outs on a sac fly (which tied the game 3-3) and a force play. But he walked Ramon Hernandez to reload the bases. Jeemer then fell behind Adam Jones 3-1 and came in with a fat fastball -- that Jones drilled to deep left for a three-run double.
Down to their last out in the ninth against George Sherrill, Julio Lugo and Kevin Youkilis both walked to bring up Manny as the potential tying run. Ramirez had hit home run #502 in the sixth, but this time, he lifted a routine fly to Nick Markakis in right-center.
***
Tim Wakefield (4.70, 91 ERA+) / Jeremy Guthrie (3.64, 115 ERA+)
This is Wakefield's third start of this 10-game road trip. ... After a dismal 1-5 start, the possibility of finishing up 5-5 is pretty attractive.

-Bill
201! I didn't try this time, and I got it. I guess that's the key.
So here we are at almost 201 and I have nothing to say. Probably too late anyway.
Whoa, they're talkin' about Gedman? Sweet!
An idiot, a bigot and a blowhard. And he has how many of millions of loyal viewers?
Geddy is the man. He was the 3d base coach for my hometown North Shore Spirit from 2003-2005, then took over as manager of the Worcester Tornadoes. I think he's still there.
gedman is on the annual sox cruise. you should go!
Heh, Allan said, where's Jere while they're talking about Gedman?
Quite a few million, but his audience has taken a nosedive since '04.
Olbermann has surpassed Hannity & Colmes and is closing in on the Billo Blowhard Hour.
Yup, still manager at Worcester. Geddy rules.
So Joe, I promise I won't re-start it if you tell me. What did we argue about all that time ago?
Olbermann has surpassed Hannity & Colmes and is closing in on the Billo Blowhard Hour.
Yay. That is fucking excellent.
I saw video of Gedman from what must've been last year's cruise. And Orsillo was the emcee. Oh but it was last offseason so they must be talking about the same one. ?
OCOC again
l, I honestly can't even remember. I think it was similar to what we were discussing today, except I probably went about it in an uncivil tone and called you a radical or something.
This game is flying.
Yay. That is fucking excellent.
Yes. It is. I watch Olbermann at 7 or 10 every night that the Sox don't interfere. I know I'm not alone. He is highly entertaining.
i came up in a surviving grady thread (or i was mentioned by red in a post) and someone referred to me and said: "if keith olbermann was a red saox fan, he'd be that guy".
i was quite flattered.
(it must be great fun to write his special comments)
"The show is the highest-rated program on MSNBC. In the first quarter of 2008, the show averaged 907,000 viewers a day, compared with about 550,000 viewers for Hardball with Chris Matthews which airs before it, and Verdict with Dan Abrams, which follows.[3] This is an increase of about 230,000 daily viewers from the third quarter of 2007.[4] Countdown has been referred to as the "flagship" MSNBC franchise, so much so that on February 15, 2007 Olbermann received a four-year contract extension which includes two Countdown primetime specials on NBC, appearances on NBC Nightly News with Brian Williams as a commentator, and his addition as an in-studio host on Football Night In America, NBC's NFL Highlight/Pre-Game Show."
Ha, who knows, I'm glad you don't remember.
Of course I am a radical, so that's ok.
I see KO through Crooks & Liars or on YouTube. I post him all the time. He's amazing. I love his undisguised anger and disgust.
let's also remember that phil donahue had the top rated show on msnbc during 2003, but his anti-Iraq invasion statements led to him being dumped.
Keith's ratings aren't massive, but compared to the other shows on his station they are really big.
Billo averages around 2 million viewers at this point - well down from the 3.5 mn. at the show's peak.
That's funny, NESN put up the little mini-scoreboard, assuming pitching change. But they kept the dude in.
Conclusion: there is work to be done. But progress has been made.
I think this conversation has come full circle.:)
WTF MY FING TV DIED
Money!!!!
I loved watching Donahue in those days.
Tie game!
tek who?
Pixies Here Comes Your Man playing
What happened? My fucking TV died. WTF?!
Bill Maher also lost his job for the same reasons.
Cash opp field double scoring Cora, now they're changing pitchers
Ehh, Donahue sucked. He played the role of 'liberal weenie' to a T.
Olbermann is not afraid to spit out righteous anger and contempt toward Bush et. al.
Meanwhile:
MFY - 200 002
MIN - 011 001
One out with men on first and second.
haha, Cash? NICE.
Joe's TV died.
$ with a 2B in the RCF gap and the wall!
it's back. thanks for making me miss the tying run, Whoevers fault that was.
I never watched Donohue, but he spoke out against the bogus war. Gotta give him huge credit for that.
Oh yeah! Twins tie it, and 2nd and 3rd
Young double.
MFY - 200 002
MIN - 011 002
Still one out.
ALMOST surprised when he's thrown out?
I know, I'll take a liberal weenie over a conservative anything. (Not that I agree that he was a weenie, whatever that's supposed to mean.)
SASAHE Ellsbury?
SOSAHE*
wait, no it's SASAHE
right?
ALMOST surprised when he's thrown out?
Right! I thought Don was gonna say "almost surprised if he doesn't run".
Liberal weenie > conservative non-weenie
sasahee?
Right! I thought Don was gonna say "almost surprised if he doesn't run".
I agree that liberal weenie>conservative non-weenie. I'm a liberal weenie myself. I just don't think we need liberal weenies out there if we're going to win the battle for hearts and minds.
What's a weenie? Or, what seems weeinyish to you?
(What a word!)
People who, no matter how right they are, appear to portray the 'liberal stereotype.' You know what the stereotype is. You haven't been out of the US THAT long.
to me, a delicious weenie is one made by oscar meyer.
Remy just messed up his promo. They cut in and he's just cracking up.
4-4 top 7. Slappy up.
What do you guys think of these Geico cavemen? I'm thinking, if they dress sharp and dance around all hip-like, what makes them cavemen?
Let's go wake.
There have been a ton of Sox outs hit right on the nose, and the Orioles announcers are talking like Guthrie was pitching a no-hitter or something. He's lucky the score isn't about 6-2.
Wow, that pitch was fluttery. Even more than usual.
Remy is still cracking up.
I missed the messed-up promo. What happened?
People who, no matter how right they are, appear to portray the 'liberal stereotype.' You know what the stereotype is. You haven't been out of the US THAT long.
I guess I don't know which stereotype you mean. Like he wasn't macho enough?
I never know these things, because I don't watch or listen to the wingnuts.
Hi, everyone. Just joining in here. It feels like a LONG time since I have seen an entire game. :(
Hi Amy! Earlier I was saying you should be here. Long, totally off-topic convo - politics, religion, US culture.
"snooty, prius-driving, tofu-eating liberal." IDK, I try to ignore the wingnuts, and it's hard to avoid hearing about that stereotype.
Whereas with Olbermann, one could totally picture him sitting down watching the game, havin' a beer.
Of course, I don't drink beer, I'm a weenie, and I want a hybrid car, but I like to sit down and watch the game.
Goes to show how imbecilic stereotypes are. But they're out there.
oh, also: I hate tofu.
kiss my grits
Grits are disgusting.
Excellent outing by Wakefield. Let's get some runs.
Amen
"kiss my grits" = catch phrase from sitcom Alice, which took place at Mel's Diner. Mel like superstar Mel Ott, OTT=One Two Three inning for Wake.
But I do like Tofu. Depending on its form I guess.
draw the walk.
Come on Y00k
YES!
lopez/hansen had been up, but wake went 7, so jeemer is up now.
Gotta love the classic Solid Wake Outing(TM).
habemus grantum.
Oh this is horse poo. A-Rod slides into home, catcher tags him out. Umpire inexplicably calls him safe.
OK, now I know what you mean. I'm not kidding when I tell you I have heard very little of that. I lived in NYC and stopped up my ears to that bullshit. But I get you.
Also, I couldn't care less about whether or not I can imagine a commentator drinking beer. I'm not saying you do... but on some level you must, at leats a little, or you wouldn't have said that about Donohue.
that works.
Manneh. Nice.
Hits! Now how about some runs?
Sorry that I missed that. I just tried scrolling through quickly but not sure I caught all of it. I see talk of Phil Donahue and liberal weenies?? And KO and also the battle to let the resisters stay in Canada. Sounds like there is likely success on that! Good for you and your organization!!
And for Manny!
Hi Grant. :)
It's not that I dislike Donahue, I dislike Donahue for his role - that of 'leading actively, unapologetically liberal voice on cable news.'
hernandezballa
What happened to Amy? Maybe she's reading back over the whole thread.
I think the torch-carrier needs to be someone like Olbermann.
I, personally, am more than content to watch my PBS.
Time for some dirty medicine.
Weird double post.
And there it is!
YES YES YES
YAY!!! We're going for the sweep.
FWIW, I like Donahue.
AND I LOVE LOWELL! We go ahead!
Yes, I was reading through the thread.
doc: "this may hurt a bit"
And we match the Yanks by taking the lead in the top of our 8th.
Yes Amy, we're going up to Ottawa for the vote tomorrow. We have it all lined up to win. Tons of news about it on my blog. It's been incredibly exciting.
Hi Grant. :)
Uh oh, lol, what did I miss?
bring in some more fellas.
No double post survives long when I'm around. :)
Lame.
son of a !@$
you gotta stay in the rundown!!!
crap
I have been following the posts on your blog, Laura, although I haven't commented. It's good to see democracy at work some where.
Eh, I guess there wouldn't have been much of a chance to advance anyway
Uh oh, lol, what did I miss?
Nothing. I was just saying hi.
We've made you paranoid? :)
Manny being Manny.
i will be guest blogger at wmtc tomorrow during the vote.
attaway ococ
We've made you paranoid? :)
Yes :-P
Thank you Amy. We are beside ourselves with anticipation and joy.
Now we only have to convince the government to follow through. But we've come this far. We'll go all the way.
Jeter would've waived Lowell and Drew to second and third.
Cansecoed.
you should totally include all sorts of cultural references L would disapprove of at WMTC tomorrow.
bags bloated and stuff
remy rightly said there wasn't much manny could do to stay in the rundown to allow a guy (slowell) to get to third there.
Sort of odd to hear cheering for the Os at Camden Yards.
"Today at WMTC: South Park - an accurate portrayal of Canada?"
C'mon Coraaaaaaaa >:o
5-4 MFYs.
Quit ragging on fucking tofu.
bases filled with red socks
I hate tofu. Not gonna lie.
you should totally include all sorts of cultural references L would disapprove of at WMTC tomorrow.
argh!! i'll come home and it will be all heidi and sweaty testicles.
Joe, no Heidi comments at WMTC tomorrow.
C'MON CORA!
Haha, Laura, great minds think alike!
"surviving grady imitation day" at jos?
then they could do a jos impression over at their site.
Tofu rocks. We both eat a lot of tofu.
And a lot of steak.
So Lame...
aggh that was ball 4. son of a f!@#ing f!@#
But tofu made Phil miss Manny's 500th.
It's CONSPIRACY THEORY TUESDAY at wmtc!!!
Oh, shit, hate the DP. Stupid Cora.
Where is Pedroia?
Never been a fan of tofu.
Yum. Steak.
It's Howard Stern day at WMTC!
Papi ligament damage, out a month or the season.
It's statistical analysis day at Surviving Grady!
So the Twins get out of it giving up just the 1 run. But that call was ridiculous. Ump was looking right at it. The only thing that may have been confusing is that A-Rod's foot came over the plate about 8 inches off the ground. But the tag was STILL made before the foot got to that point. So A-Rod missed the plate and was tagged before reaching it, but somehow was called safe.
No reason on earth not to pinch-hit Pedroia for Cora in that situation. None.
So the inning gets shittier.
Fucking coweaters.
Oh, no---that is terrible news about Papi.
Kur-splugh.
Crap. That is reallyreallyreallyreally not good.
Makes you wonder about trying to trade for a bat at the deadline.
Well, tofu takes the flavour of whatever it's cooked with. So if it's in a yummy garlicky sauce, that's what it tastes like.
It's Howard Stern day at WMTC!
That's it, I'm revoking his admin privileges!
Shit. Bad Papi news.
I just don't think this team can win it all without David.
Right now, though, I'm just worried about winning this game.
ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
it's been a bad 15 minutes
Also Hazel Mae's leaving NESN.
(Not that I've been within the broadcast area within the modern era.)
Looks like it'll be Matsui for DH in the all-star game then...
Between the Papi news and the two men on with no one out, my stomach just turned. And I had no tofu tonight.
(I actually like tofu, though I always eat it cooked in something else. Also like soy yogurt and Tofutti.)
Loaded.
Also Hazel Mae's leaving NESN.
Heh. That's actually quite surprising news. Where'd you read that?
no stern, but L is leaving early and we have a lot of topics to cover tomorrow!!
Three on, no one out. I sure wish Cora had not hit into that DP.
Luckily for us right now, Papi hasn't been carrying the team, not by a long shot. It's terrible news, but we've made it this far without him being 100%.
Also Hazel Mae's leaving NESN.
Please tell me that is true.
Fucking Oki.
come on kev. be a trooper. triple play.
no stern, but L is leaving early and we have a lot of topics to cover tomorrow!!
What time does this all go down? I'll need a little excitement tomorrow as I'll be, yes, kitten sitting.
Hazel Mae's leaving in a month. Hopefully in time for Papi to return.
Damnit KFK.
Poor Wakefield again gets no W from a good outing.
boo cabin - wtf, bro?
dp pls
Twins tied at 5, at least.
As long as Hazel doesn't go somewhere that I'll see...
Ish, you have kittens?? My two babies are SOO cute. The little girl is sleeping right next to me right now. Her brother is sleeping in the drawer under my bed.
As long as Hazel doesn't go somewhere that I'll see...
I wouldn't be surprised if she heads back to Toronto.
YAYYY A REASON TO CELEBRATE! MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!
I hope she goes back to Canada.:D
Yooooooook.
Whoa! I was wondering where Yook was going with that?!
Youk sure ran far for that play.
Amy, if you're on the pro-tofu side, why make fun of it at all? Our side needs all the help we can get here.
WTF WAS THAT LOLOLOLOL
huge, huge play.
'Sokay with me, it's not like I watch Blue Jays games. I guess we'll see her when we get stuck w/ Buffyvision.
If that's where she's going. Which you just made up.
did you know that tofu's father's name was ufot?
I still can't forgive tofu for making me miss Manny's 500th.
Odd that that story about Hazel Mae says nothing about where she is going. Was she fired?
There's a "side" about tofu? Geez.
Take him out.
Jeemer, cut the shit.
dear tito: jeemer ain't got it.
Hansen please.
ITS APPARENT THAT OKI DOESNT HAVE IT TONIGHT.
GET HIM OUTTA THE GAME!
Ish, you have kittens?? My two babies are SOO cute. The little girl is sleeping right next to me right now. Her brother is sleeping in the drawer under my bed.
My sister's got a nine-week old kitten... (and this picture)
Make fun of tofu? No way.
What the hell happened to Oki this year? Is he pitching worse or have batters just figured him out?
No, let him get this last out. No point bringing anyone in w/ the bases loaded. None of our pen can handle it.
Maybe she's joining Tina Cervasio in NYC.
That's so weird, first Phil's pissed at me for being selfish and rooting for Manny to only get triples until Saturday so I can see 500 live. It actually happens, and tofu, which I love, causes him to not see it at all! And I still don't know what it means that tofu made you miss it.)
L: on tofu sides, it goes beyond just whether you like it or not.
make him put it in play, yo.
His stats are actually okay, but his stats w/ inherited runners=baaad
but this one is all him.
Dono if this was mentioned, but the MFY/MIN game is tied, bottom 8th.
omg ish those kittens!!!!
what is tina doing? soccer?
fucking bitch.
guess i was wrong. :<(
And Canoe just got injured. Foot got spiked while covering first.
And the Orioles are cleaning out our water
