Rays - 001 000 000 002 - 3 5 1The Red Sox loaded the bases in the bottom of the 11th on two singles and an infield error, but could not score (Ortiz FC/3-2, Beltre GIDP/5-3).
Red Sox - 000 010 000 000 - 1 5 1
Then less than 10 minutes later, Pat Burrell hit a two-run home run off Manny Delcarmen. Jason Varitek doubled with one out in the bottom of the 12th, but Mike Cameron and Marco Scutaro could not advance him.
David Ortiz wanted to keep playing: "I was ready for a walk-off."
It is the Red Sox's first suspended since May 3, 1996 (Blue Jays at Fenway Park). The Rays had never had a regular-season game suspended.
Carl Crawford stole his 28th consecutive base against the Red Sox. Boston has not thrown him out since September 21, 2005. The Red Sox have thrown out only one of 17 attempted base stealers. Why don't teams run six, eight, ten times a game? It must be one of those "unwritten rules".
The Rays scored an unearned run off Beckett (7-4-1-1-8, 106) and Jason Varitek (!) tied the game with a solo home run in the fifth.
Tampa Bay is 6-3, tied for second place with the Yankees, 0.5 GB the Blue Jays. The Red Sox (4-5) are 2.5 GB.
Alex Speier takes an in-depth look at several of the Red Sox's current problems. Since that was posted, it has been reported Mike Cameron has a kidney stone (which are no fun) and Jacoby Ellsbury will not be able to play tonight.
Until Game Time: The All-Color Team, including Jimmy Lavender and Preston Purple.

«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 317 of 317Seriously? I don't think I will stay around for a rain delay...
does this mean i have to do some work?
i think so.
Back now! Guess I can watch hockey, at least rain doesn't affect that shit. Well, not in the desert anyway.
Go 'yotes!
/OT
Anyone got a doppler on Boston, I'd like to see a sweet walk-off.
Alright, I'm gone. Good night, all. Hope there's a walk off either tonight or tomorrow (or whenever it's made up...)
Hey Tim, Allan posted the date of the game we went to w/ the 3 Wells HRs. Was that the same one you were at?
Doppler.
I could see this being one of those silly suspended games, maybe made up on flag burning day...
Big mess o' rain in that doppler.
Mini game tomorrow?
maybe made up on flag burning day...
my favourite holiday!
...
hey - happy 1/2 birthday to me!
Yeah, that sounds about right - Wells with 3, Glaus with 2.
I think Manny had a couple though for sure. Again, too lazy to look up the BR right now.
too lazy? i posted the link!
trot hit our only dong.
Good night. I'll keep the rain delay on, but shutting the computer down.
EI has kept NESN on the whole time. Too bad I don't care about TC on hockey.
lol, didn't see the link allan.
ok, going to find the link of the game i keep talking about.
Found it.
Wells only had 2, but Glaus had one, Tek had one and Manny DID have 2. And it was a Beckett start. So my memory is somewhat accurate.
Such a good game for us with Beckett going deep, 2 scoreless from Pap... But, typical BS from white flag, BJ had 2 perfect innings - wtf?! annnnd schoenweis sucked ass. great.
suuuuuuspended.
also L, definitely thought your acronym at the beginning there stood for "Do not fuck this thing (or thread)"
until i googled it :)
12 innings - don't think we were at that one.
also L, definitely thought your acronym at the beginning there stood for "Do not fuck this thing (or thread)"
LOL
Which of course means Leave Our Land, a direction for trolls.
HOLY SHIT!
Beltre walked in the 4th?!!
Yeah man! So odd.
Why not start this at 6:10?
I thought they would resume this one at 6, also. Then maybe the 7 PM game starts on time. Weather considerations?
Ortiz after the game was stopped: "I was ready for a walk-off."
Hey, Paps is a pop! His baby born today.
Now that all that pressure is off Papi, we'll see some serious damage done to some era's
Just here for a minute. More jams tonight.
Gunner Robert Papelbon.
Oy.

Bard will pitch the 10th, if nec.
Dear Red Sox,
Win 2 tonight.
That is all,
Tim
light rain falling now.
Don/Jerry both surprised umps did not let Sox play the 9th.
41 degrees now.
wind in from CF at 7 mph
some type of rain is expected all night
lance cormier in for rays
and the mfy got a 5-1 win last night because the game was called after 6 innings! bet the rangers were pissed.
let's end it at the beginning!
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhh
foul!
10th.
that slider is nas-tee!
Where the hell has that slider come from???
wow - bard looked damn good.
time for tek to whip it out.
he's been working on it!
I'm drunk and on a train. How's everyone else doing?
I'm sober and at work.
On to the 11th.
I'm sober, at work, and annoyed to have missed 1.5 innings while a co-worker talked at me.
Cameron on passing the kidney stone: "I don't want to talk about it."
* * * *
So what did Papi do in the 9th?
Rocket to the wrong side of the Pesky pole on a hanging slider, then hard grounder to 1B
thanks EL
GDGD is still stuck in the bottom of the 10th.
This is looking better.
YAY! Thanks Eva
E-van!
how's about some good times?
Five-man infield, sweet. I haven't seen one of these since that crazy series in Yankee Stadium in 2004.
I love the 5-man infield.
Man, looks like the Bard is really dealing, eh?
smarty pants maddon - win ti now
FDR walk-off walk??
F-D-R
F-D-R
We need a new deal!
Why was there a 5-man IF...?
to make sure they get any grounder and then come home with it quickly.
Dear Dave O'Brien:
Do not quote CHB.
Thank you,
The 2010 JoS Gamethread
OK, I think GDGD is way late. I'll just hang out here to see what's going on.
beltre: sbfffb
2-2
to make sure they get any grounder and then come home with it quickly.
Yeah, when I asked GDGD was showing me On Fire batting with noone on, so it seemed like a really odd thing to do.
Then I realised it was delayed like hell.

nesn late to commercial, so we hear
remy (mega world-weary voice): unbelievable!
Just got in when Ortiz was stepping to the plate...
wtf was that.
This water should be fucking DIRTY.
Shakespeare was awesome, eh
maybe some will rub off on mdc
That is quite an incredible squander.
Why is Beltre FDR?
Guess not allan!
Why is Beltre FDR?
only Benjamin can explain that
because he can't walk.
I've had the Bob Weir tune "Lazy Lightning" stuck in my head intermittently for like 3 weeks now.
Starting to get to me. But its a great song, so no worries.
Um, OK blue.
because he can't walk.
That's pretty good. Plus we could make a private in-joke and call him AFR once in a while.
amica has that mdc pitch at the top of the strike zone, too high. it crossed pena at his crotch, maybe lower.
amica should just run commercials -- the zone sucks shit.
i like it.
hahha we won't explain it!
Why is Beltre FDR?
Because he rarely walks.
Because he has a third term.
Because he's from the Dominican Republic.
Lots of other reasons too we haven't figured out yet.
whew!
Dinner decisions...to make...chicken, pizza or sandwich...hmm...
Stupidly went to this awesome italian food store today, walked out an hour later and $50 lighter.
And it goes great w/ LBJ
As long as we don't have any RMN or GWB, of course
By any chance, there aren't any dead presidents with the initials "CHB" ?
Any other 3-letter acronymed presidents?
Oh fucking A
Fucking fucking fucking fucking A
i hate pat the fuckin bat
not overly keen on mdc either
CHB, no I don't think so. There are some obscure presidents, but I don't think any of them were CHB.
Fuck sakes. I feel like reading a book now.
Stupid red sox. So frustrating. At least they have 9 innings to make it right tonight.
Any other 3-letter acronymed presidents?
Most of them. But I don't know how many are immediately recognizable by the initials.
All we need is for Hermida to get on, then Tek will surely tie the game.
brb, going into microsoft mode.
is this a second day of play in a row for tek? i fear his power may be sapped.
I'm not giving up on this game yet. Because it is still being played.
No C presidents besides Chester Arthur.
CACTUS DOUBLE!!!!
TEK IS A BEAST (again)!!!!
Tek sure brought his bat with him this April...
c'mon hit that kidney stone!
scutaro gets on and drew goes deep...
Scutaro or bust...
Calvin Coolidge
Bleh.
crap crap crap crap crap crap crap
Yeah, forgot Coolidge. Most people do.
also
crap crap crap crap crap crap crap
Well that sucked a big pile of ass.
There's no good ways to lose... but that sure is a shitty one.
Good night, all.
One last thought: JFK- Josh Fucking becKett
What a fuckin joke.......
Vermonters do not forget Coolidge.
Chester Arthur is an always-forget for me.
I think Silent Cal is the Vermonter, right? I must know him b/c of that.
There's no good ways to lose... but that sure is a shitty one.
Seconded.
Very, very clean water.

Good night, all.
i don't mind getting beat when on that night the other team is better than you , but Bogar's boneheaded move along with Papi and Beltre's weak groundballs, after Beckett and the bullpen do so well...........yuck
Chester Arthur =
Chester Arthur Burnett
aka Howlin' Wolf
Coolidge is also an Amherst alum, but he's still eminently forgettable.
