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

Not a great start for Litsch

2nd and 3rd, none out

Zaun's awful throw trying to catch the first runner didn't help

"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"

by Torgen on Sep 13, 2008 7:30 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

2 walks already for Litsch

and a 3-1 count to Kotsay before the fly ball.

Everything missing low

And an error on an easy Zaun grounder to third

Loaded 1 out for Moonraker.

BTW, that's not the night game lineup at the top

Moonraker does the moonwalk

and drives in a run.

Last time there were 6 doubleheaders in one day

there were 5 sweeps, 4 by the road team.

1980 I think

"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"

by Torgen on Sep 13, 2008 7:50 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

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?"

by Torgen on Sep 13, 2008 7:51 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

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?"

by Torgen on Sep 13, 2008 7:53 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

And a first pitch grounder to first to strand him

Pedroia tried to Vlad one way outside

CBC's gun had that "2 seamer" as 93

They have home and road feeds now

"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"

by Torgen on Sep 13, 2008 8:07 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

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

when watching ono MLB.tv

do you get the local commercials, too, or do they pipe in their own?

by SuckaMD on Sep 13, 2008 8:23 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

You usually get a 'commercial in progress' screen

On weekdays they pipe in their own, but they’re on a small rotation.

0-2 to 3-2 again, this time on Youkilis

but strikes him out.

"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"

by Torgen on Sep 13, 2008 8:07 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

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

by SuckaMD on Sep 13, 2008 8:07 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

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.

Frasor

and he sucked

"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"

by Torgen on Sep 13, 2008 8:11 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Or even close games we're losing

He’s the new Gas Can.

"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"

by Torgen on Sep 13, 2008 8:15 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

I don't think so

"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"

by Torgen on Sep 13, 2008 8:18 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Well, Wolfe

He was pretty good at one point.

"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"

by Torgen on Sep 13, 2008 8:18 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

now, not so much

though he’s probably still better than Frasor

by SuckaMD on Sep 13, 2008 8:19 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

He's a righty specialist

"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"

by Torgen on Sep 13, 2008 8:20 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Zaun gets a 3-0 count

then pops up 3-2

Moonraker with the first pitch fly out

Moonraker steals a homer

Admittedly that’s a low wall

"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"

by Torgen on Sep 13, 2008 8:20 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

ya

a nice play to prevent the homer, but not a particularly difficult play

by SuckaMD on Sep 13, 2008 8:21 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Looking more like 5 will be the limit

"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

Jesse's getting hit pretty hard

don’t know how I feel about him coming out for the 6th

by SuckaMD on Sep 13, 2008 8:34 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

Only 3 hits

and 2 are Pedroia

"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"

by Torgen on Sep 13, 2008 8:36 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

But yeah, the near-homer was a nervous moment

"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"

by Torgen on Sep 13, 2008 8:37 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

he was going great

until this inning…two hard hits and a sharply hit grounder that turned into a DP

by SuckaMD on Sep 13, 2008 8:37 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

he's at 93

wonder what Cito’s thinking.

by SuckaMD on Sep 13, 2008 8:38 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Rios rushed the throw on it

Didn’t get it to the bag

Didn’t look like anyone was throwing, but maybe someone was already warm?

Leadoff double for Youkilis

Loaded on a bloop single

Rios didn’t get to it very fast

This could go to hell any moment

Arnsberg out to talk.

they had noone ready in the pen?

with Litsch at 93 pitches going into this inning and supposedly on a pitch count?? Ridiculous

by SuckaMD on Sep 13, 2008 8:53 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

I know

"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"

by Torgen on Sep 13, 2008 8:55 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

even if he wasn't on a pitch count

he was at 93 and had just gotten hit pretty hard the previous inning.

by SuckaMD on Sep 13, 2008 8:57 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

And this inning he had nothing

by Torgen on Sep 13, 2008 8:56 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

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)

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.

Cito escapes scorn. Well, okay, no he doesn’t, but it doesn’t cost us the game.

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

by SuckaMD on Sep 13, 2008 9:16 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

I think Torgen is on OTM for now.

You’re welcome too.

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.

Cito said it was a must win game

but he didn’t manage it like it was a must win game.

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.
