Top Three
Figgins grounds a single into right field
Oops. Kotchman pops the ball up, and Figgins is caught off of first for a double play.
I've got a question-why no infield fly rule?
Dice K goes upstairs, and Izturis flies out to left to end the inning.
Bottom Three
Varitek breaks his bat and lines out softly to first.
Ellsbury fouls out to third.
Pedroia grounds out. Where the hell did last night's offense go?
Top Four
Bad Vlad grounds out.
Hunter grounds out
A guy who used to be Garrett Anderson flew out.
Bottom Four
Youk walks
Papi laces a double up the gap, Youk to third.
I was wrong about the infield fly-you CAN advance on an infield fly, at your own risk. You just so seldom want to.
Manny slices a clean single to center, scoring both runners.
Truly a Bad Man.
Big Mike Lowell pops out.
JD walks.
Big Jed lines into a DP, trapping Manny off second to end the inning. Nothing he could do.
Top FIve
Kendrick pops out.
According to ESPN Trade Rumors, Boston is talking about Miguel Tejada. Much as I don't like rooting for a Mitchell report guy, that is an intriguing thought.
Dice K dials it up and strikes out Rivera on high heat.
Dice Man dials it up again and gets Mathis, swinging.
Bottom Five
Varitek doubles
Ellsbury grounds out, Varitek to third.
Steve Phillips is nattering about Productive Outs. Please stop.
Pedroia strikes out-Weaver changed speeds and DP was way out in front.
Youk chases a high hard one, and strikes out swinging. Nice piece of pitching by Mr. Weaver the Younger.
Top Six
Chone (sp?) takes two breaking pitches for strikes, and then two outside fastballs for balls. Come ON, Dice!
And then he walks him. Grumble.
Figgins steals second pretty easily.
And Casey Kotchman plants one in the bullpen. 3-2.
Like I said, strikes suck.
And now Izturis, who I have been mocking all night, slices a ball into the right field corner for a double.
Bad Vlad NAILS a single to Drew in right, Izturis to third.
And then Torii Hunter sends one into ORBIT. Deep over the Wall, over the Volvo sign and onto Lansdowne Street. Fuck.
Ruff Ruffman's favorite pitcher, Justin Masterson, pitching now for Boston.
The guy who used to be Garrett Anderson singles inside (sort of) the third base bag. It looked foul.
Kendrick bounces the ball to DP, who tags Anderson for the first out. An OUT. Is that what they call those?
Rivera gets jammed and fights it off into right center, and Kendrick goes to third.
Mathis lays down a squeeze. A squeeze? Really? Varitek throws to first for the out. 7-2.
Figgins strikes out.
What a disaster.
Bottom Six
Papi walks.
Manny hits the ball 18 miles in the air, but Kendrick comes out with it for an out.
Lowell lines out to left.
Drew lines a single to left center.
Farmer Jed lines a ground rule double that hops into the right field seats, 7-3 Boston.
Arredondo now pitching for Angles.
Varitek walks, loading the bases.
Ellsbury whiffs on the splitter, inning over.
Sigh. I just can't hang anymore. Good night, Gracie. I'll recap in the AM.
I was watching it last night after the Tribe game was over. You should consider doing play by play...I feel like I am there.
ReplyDeleteThat's very kind of you. It's a Bill Simmons concept, I believe-just watch the game, and make your own sardonic, quirky little comments whenever the mood strikes.
