Sox @ Phils, 1:05 PM
[Update: SOX WIN 7-4. Thanks for threadin', everybody. Next one for me here will be next Tuesday night.]
[Update: MDC strikes out Howard with the tying runs on to end the 7th. 7-4 us in the 8th.]
[Update: After 4 and a half, it's 7-1 Sox. Drew is a triple shy of the cycle, and Masterson has only given up one hit. Coco left the game with "left hand discomfort." Come join us in the game thread in comments.]
I'll have a live game thread in comments here for this afternoon's game. Joy of Sox (on vacation) doesn't usually get many folks for the weekday afternoon games, so I might be all by myself here, but if you want to join in, moderation will be off. Thanks.
Masterson for us, Kendrick for them....

Ha, Kalas. Yeah, I've heard Castig talk with him on a pre-game before. And yeah, I know what you mean about NFL.
"Hot shot behind second, MI-CKY MOR-AN-DI-NI backhands it, got him!"
All-time favorite name to hear Kalas say...

As Eck was saying, "who wants to watch a guy hit 40 HR who strikes out 200 times?" My gf loves Howard. She's gonna be pissed at Eck and TC when I tell her that.
I just burned the garlic making my "Jere's Bean Bowl." I'm gonna have to pull a Frank Costanza and put just the right amount of spices in to salvage it.
I got an advance quote from Leggett about your book:
"Is est maioribus libri umquam utpote vox of deus. EGO diligo is."
Pretty high praise, dude...
"Is est maioribus libri umquam utpote vox of deus. EGO diligo is."
Pretty high praise, dude...
haha. You know, the Leggett quote I used was one for "praise for Jere's blog," and it was something he'd already written on his blog. The funny thing is, he's written it as a post that for some reason was directed AT me, so we had to tweak it...
Then again, he had this to say about the Celtics:
" celtics anhelo incendia super orbis terrarum quod exuro totus pro lemma..."
"the Celtics breathed fire on the world and burned all before them..."
(loving this latin translator site...)

Lucky you...my dad'll be there...as Mike Francesa would say, "Matty's dad is a HUGE Celtics fan...HA-YUGE Celtics fan..."
So we've discovered on JoS that after 200 comments, a new page starts automatically. So that'll prob. happen here. That'll be...kinda...cool.
I think they just wear these sometimes. They've talked about it on Uniwatch, but I don't really pay attention to the stuff I don't care about.
My wife is convinced that playing candyland that way never taught me how to deal with failure...she gave my dad a hard time about it when I told her that...she thinks it left me ill-prepared to deal with adversity...two on nobody out...
You're feed is just ahead of mine...sounds like lots of sox fans there...how hot is drew? He's past Alba-hot, he's nearly Johansen-hot...
I'll hold off a tiny bit on each post to not give it away. Though I did take a bite of beans after Lowell donged, THEN I posted.
YOu know, I bought tix for this game? They were for my Philly friend--and for a while he had no one to go with so there was talk of me driving down, but then he found someone. Finally the Phils get an out, but they almost effed it up.
every time i think of "castig" I think of of Evilstig, the Joan Jett tribute to mia zapata, that murdered rrrrriot grrrlll who had that band the Gits...evilstig was "gits live" backwards...
ohhhh. wow I haven't thought of that in a while. And they finally found the killer, right?!? After all those years, or did I dream that?
Yeah, Amy, Zen, Joe, Patrick, and Nixon33. It was basically Amy, Joe, and I towards the end of the game.
yeah, it was some cuban migrant worker...just googled the gits...you know their two records were called "Frenching the Bully" and "Enter: the Conquering Chicken"?
I didn't know those titles.... Yeah I thought Miami was involved somehow with the killer.
Two outs, man on second. Would love to see Bat get out of the first unscathed.

Remy just said "the most championships belong to the Yankees, the Canadiens, and the Celtics," totally making it sound like each team had the same amount...
Yeah they said that on the pre-game, too, and both times they said they're "trying" to get green jerseys or a patch or something. That's so weird. Like, they just might not get it done. "Sorry, can't do it...."
The first NBA Finals came about 40 years after the first World Series, though. And 20 after the first Stanley Cup.
Yeah, in baseball usually things just get done. It just quite simply, happens. Never heard "trying to" before.
How do you suppose Doug Mientkiewicz gets an away jersey with his name on it in Minneapolis when he played for the Twins in 2004 and then played for the Red Sox the very next game? It just happened.

So percentage-wise.....who leads?
I'd say the Canadiens. But the Celtics should be right up there with both of them. Yankees have what... 27? I never remember. It'd not important to me. Montreal has 26, and the Celtics have 17.

Robin Roberts--I went to his baseball camp in '88-'89. He was just a figurehead. You get his autograph on the final day--the only day he shows up for.
Celtics have 17 in 62 seasons; Yankees have 26 in 105 seasons (starting in 1903, not in Baltimore in ought-one...), Canadiens have 24 in 98ish seasons (founded in 1909)...so I'd say %-wise, the C's have the most...
Although, according to wiki, I'm wrong...

Can you believe I never thought of this? ALl this BS about the Yanks being the winningest franchise in "all of sport." TOTAL BS.
"Boston" is spelled/engraved "Bqstqn" on the Stanley Cup in regards to the '72 Orr-led Cup winners...
i don't get it. They effed up or does it mean something?
Two strikes on the guy and he hits him Come on....

there are several engraving errors on the cup that have never been fixed...holy crap. I didn't know GDGD had video on demand within each game now...how new is that?!
at least a week. All of a sudden they gained all this cool stuff.
Double play! Haha.. Bunt caught by Mayor McCheese Steak, guns the guy out trying to go back to second.

you know, there's some other guy he called the BEST fungo hitter. In his book I think. Al Bumbry, maybe?
What is the comparison to being the best fungo hitter ever...best lay-up line guy ever? Best-guy-who-catches-the ball-for-the-qb-in-pre-game-so-the-qb-doesn't-jam-a-finger-guy? Help me out here...
I guess the other qustion is this: Does Castig have a fungo fetish?
Oi. I'll betcha he's got some strange things going.

Lowell barely hit by pitch. So that's our second Pete Rose thing of the day. Earlier, the near tip-drill catch a la Larry Bowa and Rose in the 80 WS, and now a guy barely hit by a pitch a la Rose in the 75 WS ("it may have hit a thread on my uniform," Rose later said.)

JackySox said he heard that Sean Casey chose his jersey number because it's the same number Dropkick's bassist Ken Casey wore in the "Tessie" video...any truth to that, or was it another one of my dad's half-assed, pitiable attempts to show how hip he is(n't)?
He's hotter than everyone in Buster Poindexter's back-up band put together.
I guess it's pretty dark...
Can't believe Utley tried that crap. Dropping a looping liner on purpose. Umps weren't buying...

Rish is so rare, though. Arnold I've noticed lately is getting more comfy, joking around more. And I've been listening to his show so I'm becoming used to him to the point where I always think it's him until I realize it's O'B. Rish I never thought was bad as a studio guy, haven't heard his call enough to judge.
Here's another Rose thing; I could've sworn I saw on ESPN.com today an article about how A-rod has been talking to Pete a lot the last coupla years...
http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/eticket/story?page=roseandarod
that is a hilarious headline to that story...

that is a funny headline. As soon as I heard about this I wanted to do a big mock comversation, but I figure millions of others would do the same thing.
6-1! Two run single for Kate Moss

I think he was pointing to his left hand. I don't know how he could have hurt it though. Towards the pinky, maybe.
They showed Coco coming off the field pointing to a spot on his left hand, on the back of it below the pinky toward the wrist. But they don't know what happened.
This is so funny hearing Remy and Don talking about getting lost in Philly over and over and over....I know what it's like.
It's funny, ish and I both used to be a cat, now we're both Red Sx pitchers, and we often say the same thing at the same time. ANd both enjoy photography.
And paint toy soldiers and we're gay....

"I guess you could say, like, 'Hi, my name's Gobbler and this is my knob,' but, like, I think it's about more than that..."
Apparently some guy called John Floyd help lay out the city of Louisville and was pretty big around here. At least that's what Wikipedia says.
I just looked out my window to see the mail vehicle rolling up to my mailbox... it was a Dodge Dakota. Wouldn't you think the Postal Service could save a little bit of coin by using hybrids for mail routes?
Kendrick was Perkin' up the Red Sox' bats, so they took him out. Now the new guy gives up a double to Dustin.
Bye Matty. The post office should just call it a day at this point. We've got e-mail for letters, and delivery companies for physical stuff we actually need to send.
Yeah most people never even realize there is a game in these situations. Drew knocks in FY, and he's a triple away from the cycle!
His last few games he was 1-4, 2-4, 1-3, 1-2, 1-2, 0-3, 1-3.... but his HR column has the same number as his hit column for all those games
I was at BOS/CIN on Saturday, and Moss was putting on a bit of a show during BP before the game - he put several halfway up the right-field bleachers in Cincy.
He has been fun these last two innings. Didn't find the rhythm until then. But yeah, he's doing great for us. Now he's batting. Just fouled one off. And he....strikes out swinging.
I just saw the one, 'cause Cincy decided to "package" the Sox games so you had to buy eight bazillion tickets just to go to those games, so my brother and I stubhubbed four seats for double-face value.
We were in the very very top top row, but right behind the plate, so it was actually a decent view. Got to see a good game (apart from Paps blowing the save), too. This was game with Youk/Coco going back-to-back in the 10th.

OK, now that 4-1/2 are in the books, those popcorn storms can roll in and end blowout early so the Sox can get some extra rest.
OK, so I'm new here, but why does Pedroia = FY?
During Clay Buchholz's no-hitter, Pedroia made that fantastic play up the middle to rob Tejada of a hit. When the out was recorded, Pedroia banged his fist in his glove and screamed, "FUCK YEAH!!!"

There was also a lottery for the Sox-Cin games where you could buy individual games. But you had to win the lottery, of course.
Near DP, they get one. 7-2, man on first, one out.

Rollins took off for second, Lugo had to go cover the bag, and the ball went through where Lugo was before he went to cover.
That lottery was late May. ANother single for Philly, first and third one out.
Wow. Sounds a lot like a playoff game.
