What did he do?

Said some naughty words.

[brimac]

Handshake. Done.

[amlothi]

Good game Lester. You've done your job today. W for you.

[syoo8]

Tito stole an inning there.

Who closes the night? Crawford-Longoria-Zobrist

I say Wagner, with Bard throwing

[SoxFan234]

Why the hell was Burrell arguing, it wasn't even close!

[koufax32]

Give Bard a chance here? Longoria can't tie it so I say go ahead.

[amlothi]

Said some naughty words.

Which ones? I want details!!!

[Synovia]

And is therefore affecting Ells' throwing arm?

I thought we were talking about the WP. Although, I could see Varitek's blackhole of suck affecting other players.


The real problem was Ellsbury misread that ball and because of that was still moving backward when he made the throw.

[syoo8]

Lester's WPA this game: .469. Well done, Jon.

Brad Penny just got a W against the Dodgers. Lovely.

I don't get this. Do people really think that Penny is capable of putting up similar numbers in the AL East?

[Trlicek's Whip]

The Burrell signing looked like a safe move for the Rays, but it really hamstrung them - especially coupled with the emergence of Edwin Jackson for DET. With an injured and ineffective Kazmir for most of the season, Andy Sonnanstine and the bullpen falling back to earth, and the inconsistent rookie season by David Price... there were other injuries (Longoria, Pena) but in a way they were already playing from behind because of their pitching.

Fuck.

Multiple times.

Oh well. No harm no foul.

[Snodgrass'Muff]

You could make a pretty compelling argument for either, but I like Bard a bit better.

Sweet, sweet insurance!

[Brianish]

What a hilarious 5 minutes this has been.

[Nuf Ced]

Not so fast Mr. Gross.

[Foulkey Reese]

Ha wow was that cheap.

[BucketOBalls]

I don't get this. Do people really think that Penny is capable of putting up similar numbers in the AL East?

OTOH The Dodgers are one of the 3 real teams in the NL.

[amlothi]

First pitch. In play, run(s). Awesome.

[syoo8]

Jesus, he has 32 HR this season?

[strek1]

And Bay fucks Wagner out of the save LOL

[MartyBarrettMVP]

Insurance from the Senior Partner.

[cpharding618]

Jesus Christ this game is gonna give me a heart attack. I thought that Gross caught that ball.

[Brianish]

Whatever maybe Delcarmen could come in and put some dudes on.

[amlothi]

Not so fast. Let's just hope there isn't a save situation this game for anyone.

[BucketOBalls]

Wow, Bay hit a homer

a)off a slider
b) to right field.

I'm impressed. It seems like 90% of his long balls are fastballs to straight center.

[patinorange]

Don't even kid around.

[teddywingman]

I do not miss Brad Penny, but the Dodgers have a pretty good lineup. WTF.

[syoo8]

Today's starting pitching ERA: 0.60

[Brianish]

Don't even kid around.

Sorry I'm being reckless, I admit.

[BucketOBalls]

Maddon realized he had not used enough pitchers this game.

[amlothi]

Wow, Bay hit a homer

a)off a slider

I'm impressed. It seems like 90% of his long balls are fastballs to straight center.

Actually, it looks like most have been to Left this year.

No data on type of pitch though.

Enormous park might have something to do with this one.

[Snodgrass'Muff]

OTOH The Dodgers are one of the 3 real teams in the NL.

This is true, and I certainly think Penny has made some improvements in his approach since leaving Boston... but I still don't think he'd be any better than what we have in our rotation right now, and he certainly wouldn't have made the rotation for the playoffs. So I don't see the point in lamenting his success in the NL. Hell, he even praised the Sox and their conditioning and strengthening program as part of the reason he's having success right now.

He's put up good starts against the Phillies and Dodgers. Both are lineups that can compete in the AL. So I'll grant you that he's fixed something that wasn't working for him here... but he certainly wasn't going to pitch like that in Boston. So I don't see the need for sour grapes.

[aksoxfan]

Maddon learned to manage in Little League where he had to get all the kids in the game.

[cardsox]

Ichiro up with 2 men on. rangers lead 4-1

[syoo8]

Wagner in.

[amlothi]

Varitek saw 4 pitches in his AB where he got a hit. In his other 3 ABs he also saw 4 pitches....TOTAL....ugh

[Rough Carrigan]

Jesus, pennant races make strange bedfellows. We have to root for freaking Suzuki!

[Kilgore A. Trout]

Three relievers in two games. Actually, three relievers used in a whole series. That is crazy.

[cardsox]

he flied out. stuck on 199

[amlothi]

At least the pen got a good few days of extra rest.

[Barbara]

Is this the first time Wagner has closed?

[MentalDisabldLst]

Pat Burrell with his Serena Williams imitation.

better question, what did Serena Williams do?

And a day off tomorrow! Good for Papelbon and Okajima, especially.

[TheStoryofYourRedRightAnkle]

With Lord Nibbler coming up on Tuesday, they'll be needed.

Post-Season Tito.

[Kilgore A. Trout]

From what I saw she used words #2-6 on Carlin's list with a line judge.

[koufax32]

I have completely enjoyed the the air of hopelessness from TB's announcers this series. Absolutely glorious. The piece de resistance was the Bay HR. Their tones had disgust and agony all wrapped into a few words.

[Nuf Ced]

Longoria has been a real pain in the ass.
