Here's to the soothing dulcet tones of Jon Miller and Joe Morgan on this Sunday night baseball episode of the Sox facing the Angels on the left coast. Tim Wakefield faces Jon (I don't need no stinkin' "h" either)

Serious mancrush for Pedroia lately. The kid has been a ridiculous hitting machine this year. Good start.
Posted by: John | Sunday, July 20, 2008 at 06:13 PM
That strike three looked outside to me. Let's see if the ump holds that corner.
Posted by: attackgerbil | Sunday, July 20, 2008 at 06:16 PM
Kotchman rides it to the track but no. Long out.
Posted by: attackgerbil | Sunday, July 20, 2008 at 06:20 PM
Yeah, Pedroia has been really hot lately. He proves them right by doubling in the first inning too.
And Wake sets down the first 3 Angels on 9 pitches. Great start!
Posted by: Atheose | Sunday, July 20, 2008 at 06:21 PM
Youk has the 4th-most RBI's in the AL? Wow.
Posted by: Atheose | Sunday, July 20, 2008 at 06:25 PM
Joe Morgan: "Isn't it interesting how Varitek always gets a day off when Wakefield pitches?"
It's sad that these announcers, whose only job is to know baseball, don't know that Cash exists pretty much solely to catch Wake.
Posted by: Atheose | Sunday, July 20, 2008 at 06:28 PM
> Youk has the 4th-most...
and he has a career-high 17 dingers already. He's bona-fide.
Posted by: attackgerbil | Sunday, July 20, 2008 at 06:29 PM
> Joe Morgan: "Isn't it interesting"
Jon Miller is too nice to say, "no, it's just a simple fact, Joe, and you would know this if you did any homework."
Posted by: attackgerbil | Sunday, July 20, 2008 at 06:32 PM
Damn Vlad. I was hoping all the stats Morgan was reciting would reverse-jynx him.
Posted by: Atheose | Sunday, July 20, 2008 at 06:33 PM
Vlad is a strong man.
Posted by: attackgerbil | Sunday, July 20, 2008 at 06:33 PM
Back-to-back. Yikes.
Posted by: attackgerbil | Sunday, July 20, 2008 at 06:34 PM
Jon Miller: "That was a towering homer, that soared through the air majestically."
As opposed to other homeruns, which are clumsy and ugly when they are hit.
Fuck, back-to-back.
Posted by: Atheose | Sunday, July 20, 2008 at 06:34 PM
Joe Morgan: "And both homers came on knuckleballs!"
This commentary is infuriating. Mute button, save me!
Posted by: Atheose | Sunday, July 20, 2008 at 06:35 PM
That's great range by Pedroia.
Posted by: attackgerbil | Sunday, July 20, 2008 at 06:35 PM
I'm out, Ath.. good luck.
Posted by: attackgerbil | Sunday, July 20, 2008 at 06:37 PM
Yeah AG, Pedroia gets to a surprising amount of grounders.
Despite the homers, Wake is only at 23 pitches after 2.
Posted by: Atheose | Sunday, July 20, 2008 at 06:37 PM
See ya AG. Hopefully your absense will bring good things!
Posted by: Atheose | Sunday, July 20, 2008 at 06:38 PM
Jon Miller: "JD Drew homered in the All Star Game and was promptly awarded the MVP."
If by "promptly" he means "four hours and 9 innings later".
Posted by: Atheose | Sunday, July 20, 2008 at 06:44 PM
Manny doubles, scoring Pedroia from first! That's what you get for not IBB'ing him this time!
Posted by: Atheose | Sunday, July 20, 2008 at 06:47 PM
Lowell ties it on a single, despite getting caught in a run down! 2-2 Sox.
Posted by: Atheose | Sunday, July 20, 2008 at 06:48 PM
Ath -
You're making me glad I can only get the game on MLBRadio
Posted by: rootbeerfloat | Sunday, July 20, 2008 at 07:03 PM
Wake sneaks in the curveball!
Posted by: Atheose | Sunday, July 20, 2008 at 07:38 PM
Another great six innings by Wake so far - in spite of the two homers. Why don't our hitters realize that this man deserves their support? Runs please!!
Posted by: pale blue eyes | Sunday, July 20, 2008 at 07:46 PM
Coco draws a walk! How about a stolen base?
Posted by: Atheose | Sunday, July 20, 2008 at 07:48 PM
Coco's stolen base pays off, as Vlad fails to catch one and the Sox take the lead 3-2.
Posted by: pale blue eyes | Sunday, July 20, 2008 at 07:59 PM
Ugggh Vlad butchers a ball giving the Sox the lead.
Posted by: John - YF | Sunday, July 20, 2008 at 08:00 PM
Guerrero, Hunter and Anderson coming up for the Angels. No more homers please ...
Posted by: pale blue eyes | Sunday, July 20, 2008 at 08:11 PM
Vlad vlies out. One down.
Posted by: pale blue eyes | Sunday, July 20, 2008 at 08:12 PM
Hunter pops out. Two down.
Posted by: pale blue eyes | Sunday, July 20, 2008 at 08:13 PM
Wake does a great job against the 4-5-6 hitters, mixing in a bunch of fastballs and curveballs. 87 pitches after 7.
Posted by: Atheose | Sunday, July 20, 2008 at 08:14 PM
Anderson flies out. Brilliant inning from Wake. Delcarmen supposedly warming up, but with Wake at only 87 pitches I expect we'll see him again for the 8th.
Posted by: | Sunday, July 20, 2008 at 08:16 PM
Goose Gossage says Joba should be in the 'pen.
http://www.nypost.com/seven/07182008/sports/yankees/goose__joba_belongs_back_in_bullpen_120388.htm
Posted by: Atheose | Sunday, July 20, 2008 at 08:16 PM
Me.
Posted by: pale blue eyes | Sunday, July 20, 2008 at 08:17 PM
Lowell fails to check his swing, called out. Has some words for the ump, even though he did go pretty far.
Posted by: Atheose | Sunday, July 20, 2008 at 08:20 PM
Starting pitcher going deep into the game with a lead and 2ER given up... sounds eerily like yesterday. Go Wake!
Posted by: Atheose | Sunday, July 20, 2008 at 08:24 PM
Rivera leads off with a double. Damn.
Posted by: pale blue eyes | Sunday, July 20, 2008 at 08:29 PM
FUCK, just like yesterday. Pull him?
Posted by: Atheose | Sunday, July 20, 2008 at 08:29 PM
And Kendrick ties it with another double.
Posted by: pale blue eyes | Sunday, July 20, 2008 at 08:30 PM
That's it for Wake. No win for him. I blame the offense. We do need to score more than 3 on occasion.
Posted by: pale blue eyes | Sunday, July 20, 2008 at 08:32 PM
=P You guys trialing to FJM? ;) He is actually that awful though..
Posted by: Lar | Sunday, July 20, 2008 at 08:37 PM
...aaaaaand Wakefield now up for the loss. 5-3 Angels.
Posted by: Atheose | Sunday, July 20, 2008 at 08:40 PM
And for the umpteenth time this season the bullpen cannot get the job done.
Posted by: pale blue eyes | Sunday, July 20, 2008 at 08:41 PM
Our bullpen lives to score inherited runners.
Posted by: Atheose | Sunday, July 20, 2008 at 08:42 PM
Coco, Cash and Ellsbury up against K-Rod in the 9th. This game feels like it's over already. Prove me wrong, guys.
Posted by: pale blue eyes | Sunday, July 20, 2008 at 08:44 PM
Koko k's. Looking, of course.
Posted by: pale blue eyes | Sunday, July 20, 2008 at 08:47 PM
Holy shit that was an amazingly wierd play... swing and a miss for strike 3, but the ball bounces in the dirty, off catcher's mask and flies back to K-Rod, who then throws him out at 1st.
Posted by: Atheose | Sunday, July 20, 2008 at 08:50 PM
God I hate K-Rod. Ellsbury is now 0-3 with 3 K's against him.
Posted by: Atheose | Sunday, July 20, 2008 at 08:52 PM
K-Rod strikes out the side. And now, I'm sure we'll be our usual brilliant selves in Seattle.
Posted by: pale blue eyes | Sunday, July 20, 2008 at 08:54 PM
Everyone's good when they play against Seattle! ;)
Posted by: Lar | Sunday, July 20, 2008 at 08:59 PM
HAHAHAHA Joba on the ESPY's singing "Don't you remember you told me you love me babyyyyyyyyyyyyy"
That was actually pretty funny. Joba has gained a little bit of my respect.
Posted by: Atheose | Sunday, July 20, 2008 at 10:41 PM
Beckett had his award for "Best Championship Performance" stolen by Tiger, and now Lester has "Best moment" stolen by those softball girls. What a crappy night!
Posted by: Atheose | Sunday, July 20, 2008 at 11:09 PM
Sox actually playing under their expected win-loss right now, while Tampa Bay is playing over, and New York is about their expected (1 game over) Sox losing a few close games to the Angels makes the Angels the "luckiest" team in the league, it seems.
Posted by: Lar | Sunday, July 20, 2008 at 11:56 PM

I don't know how long this will stay up, but found it here:

Posted by: Lar | Sunday, July 20, 2008 at 11:57 PM
In last night's game thread I was playing around a little bit with allitaration (e.g. Vlad vlies out ...). I also did that once when Coco Crisp struck out looking. It now occurs to me that one should not do this when the letter K is involved. It was only meant as a little fun with K as in strike out and I want to apologize to Coco and anyone who might have been offended by this silly playfulness which could have been understood quite differently. It was way past midnight over here in Europe and I was not thinking properly. Very sorry.
Posted by: pale blue eyes | Monday, July 21, 2008 at 06:02 AM
Thanks Lar! That's a lot more than they showed on the ESPY's too.
The Williams sisters were hilarious auditioning too.
