Another Night, No Sanctuary - Game Thread, Jays at Boston, night version
Toronto Blue Jays at Boston Red Sox, Sep 13, 2008 7:05 PM EDT
Hope everyone is having a great Saturday. Rancid rings in tonight's game, and it's apropos given that there is no sanctuary for our azure corvidae heroes - a big win this afternoon, but that just makes tonight's game all the more important.
Not sure how much of the game I'll be around for tonight - meeting up with my cousin in Brooklyn a little bit later. Let's go Jays!

Nothing doing in the first
besides a Scoot single.
"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"
Not a great start for Litsch
2nd and 3rd, none out
"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"
Strikes out Ortiz for the first out
"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"
2 runs score on a wild pitch
"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"
Zaun's awful throw trying to catch the first runner didn't help
"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"
2 walks already for Litsch
and a 3-1 count to Kotsay before the fly ball.
"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"
Everything missing low
"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"
Lind with the 1 out single
"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"
Rolen singles up the middle
So 2 on, 1 out
"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"
And an error on an easy Zaun grounder to third
Loaded 1 out for Moonraker.
"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"
BTW, that's not the night game lineup at the top
"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"
Moonraker does the moonwalk
and drives in a run.
"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"
1-0 count to Inglett and the pitching coach comes out for a chat
"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"
Inglett with a 2 run double
Jays lead WOOOOO
"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"
Scoot sac fly to right
"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"
Rios bloop single for the 5th run
"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"
Wells strikes out on two straight sinkers from a 3-1 count
third out in both innings.
"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"
Last time there were 6 doubleheaders in one day
there were 5 sweeps, 4 by the road team.
"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"
1980 I think
"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"
Litsch a little better this inning so far
1-0 and 2-1 counts to both batters before getting the two outs
"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"
No sooner I say it
0-2 count to Cash and then 4 straight balls
"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"
And a first pitch grounder to first to strand him
"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"
Lind with another 1 out single up the middle
"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"
Doesn't cancel out his single in the 2nd
"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"
Pedroia tried to Vlad one way outside
"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"
CBC's gun had that "2 seamer" as 93
"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"
MLB.tv is broadcasting the CBC feed?
my apologies
They have home and road feeds now
"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"
so they broadcast both feeds for all games and you can choose?
that’s pretty sweet. Despite their obvious Soxian homer-ness, I imagine the Red Sox guys are better than the CBC crew. Though I’m a big fan of Jim Hughson.
As of a couple days ago, yes
"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"
when watching ono MLB.tv
do you get the local commercials, too, or do they pipe in their own?
You usually get a 'commercial in progress' screen
On weekdays they pipe in their own, but they’re on a small rotation.
"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"
0-2 to 3-2 again, this time on Youkilis
but strikes him out.
"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"
1-2-3 inning for Litsch with the K on Yook
but 61 pitches through 3. Doesn’t look like he’s going too deep, especially on short rest
Considering he used 30 to get through 1
he could get a few outs in the 6th, which would be great. Bullpen in pretty good shape, assuming you don’t mind Downs and Ryan pitching.
"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"
Tallet and Cy went earlier today, right?
who pitched last night?
Frasor
and he sucked
"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"
Or even close games we're losing
He’s the new Gas Can.
"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"
did we bring up any decent relievers
in the roster expansion?
I don't think so
"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"
Well, Wolfe
He was pretty good at one point.
"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"
now, not so much
though he’s probably still better than Frasor
He's a righty specialist
"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"
Zaun gets a 3-0 count
then pops up 3-2
"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"
Moonraker with the first pitch fly out
"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"
And Inglett with a 3-1 fly ball
"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"
Moonraker steals a homer
Admittedly that’s a low wall
"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"
Looking more like 5 will be the limit
"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"
He did say it would be a hard limit because of the short rest
"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"
wow, lucky play
hard hit from Rios up the middle somehow ends up in Colon’s glove as he tries to get out of the way
0-2 on Cash and walks him again
"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"
First pitch double play
"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"
Tough to double up Ellsbury
"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"
Pedroia doubles off the monster
"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"
Jesse's getting hit pretty hard
don’t know how I feel about him coming out for the 6th
Only 3 hits
and 2 are Pedroia
"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"
But yeah, the near-homer was a nervous moment
"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"
Rios rushed the throw on it
Didn’t get it to the bag
"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"
Strikes out Ortiz again
"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"
Another Rolen double play
"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"
Showed the bullpen
Didn’t look like anyone was throwing, but maybe someone was already warm?
"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"
Leadoff double for Youkilis
Is Jesse done?
"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"
At 99 pitches
"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"
Looks like he's going to face Kotsay
"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"
Waiting for Bay to be announced?
"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"
Nope, Litsch still in
"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"
Lost Kotsay on 4 straight
"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"
I think Litsch got a break on the second strike
"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"
Loaded on a bloop single
Rios didn’t get to it very fast
"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"
why has Wells been DHing lately?
is he hurt?
I think giving his hammy a break?
"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"
This could go to hell any moment
Arnsberg out to talk.
"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"
they had noone ready in the pen?
with Litsch at 93 pitches going into this inning and supposedly on a pitch count?? Ridiculous
I know
"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"
even if he wasn't on a pitch count
he was at 93 and had just gotten hit pretty hard the previous inning.
And this inning he had nothing
"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"
Sac fly, runner up to third
"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"
Carlson for the second time today
"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"
And if this goes to hell
it’s all on Cito
"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"
I don't mind brining Cy in here
as long as he doesn’t pitch more than this inning and is not pitched tomorrow (that will give him 2 days off with the off day on Monday)
League coming in in the 6th
when did he pitch last?
Chicago series
Not sure which game.
"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"
Lowell pinch hitting for Cora
"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"
Lowell lines out softly to Inglett
No double play chance
"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"
Hey Torgen, I see you are one of two people on now.
Y’all are still allowed to actively root for the Jays on OTM, if you weren’t too scared by it earlier.
Remember when we were kids and we mixed sodas together and called them "suicides"? It was OK though, because Dr. Pepper was always there.
I'm actually leaving in a few minutes
gotta go to a friend’s birthday
League gets the grounder
Cito escapes scorn. Well, okay, no he doesn’t, but it doesn’t cost us the game.
"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"
Downs in to face Papi
who is going to pitch the 8th and 9th? 2 innings from Ryan may be more than I can take
I think Torgen is on OTM for now.
You’re welcome too.

Nice silde/drop-kick from Ortiz
Ty Cobb would be proud
There are no people on here for now.
Come on over to www.overthemonster.com and comment with the Red Sox fans. We try not to be too much of pains in the @$$es.
Remember when we were kids and we mixed sodas together and called them "suicides"? It was OK though, because Dr. Pepper was always there.
Cito said it was a must win game
but he didn’t manage it like it was a must win game.
"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"
Inglett and I guess Carlson for JotD
Downs gets the Batista, and Cito deserves more blame for Litsch’s low score than Litsch, who pitched well until he ran out of gas, and then got left out to dry.
"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"
What, no GT for Sunday?
GREAT GAME!
