Ichiro breaks the hitless streak...
...with a double in left field.  Out number one on a chopper to DiNardo.  Ichiro to 3rd.  Sac fly to Manny.  Good attempt by Manny on the throw.

Two-out Sexson double for naught...
...as Johjima grounds to Cora.  1-0 Mariners after half an inning.

by Devine @ Over the Monster on Apr 17, 2006 11:16 AM EDT reply actions  

The Equalizer!
Big Papi with the long ball. 1-1.

by Hudson on Apr 17, 2006 11:22 AM EDT reply actions  

Youkilis K's, Loretta grounds to 2nd...
...Ortiz homers to center (barely)!  Tie game!

by Devine @ Over the Monster on Apr 17, 2006 11:23 AM EDT reply actions  

Manny K's.
Come on, DiNardo!

by Devine @ Over the Monster on Apr 17, 2006 11:25 AM EDT reply actions  

Manny the K
Oy. The slump continues.

by Hudson on Apr 17, 2006 11:26 AM EDT reply actions  

Beltre BB
DiNardo... How long can he last? We may see most of the Sox 'pen today.

by Hudson on Apr 17, 2006 11:30 AM EDT reply actions  

Everett grounds to 3rd...
...Beltre walks on 5 pitches, Bloomquist flies to the warning track in center, Betancourt doubles to center and Beltre scores.  Man...

by Devine @ Over the Monster on Apr 17, 2006 11:33 AM EDT reply actions  

Another double
Beltre scores from 1st.

by Hudson on Apr 17, 2006 11:33 AM EDT reply actions  

Cora
Why not just go to first, dude?

by Hudson on Apr 17, 2006 11:35 AM EDT reply actions  

Strange put-out...
...as Ichiro grounds fairly sharply to short, and they decide to get Betancourt in the rundown (?!).  Either way, Mariners 2-1.

by Devine @ Over the Monster on Apr 17, 2006 11:35 AM EDT reply actions  

It worked out, but ...
... why risk it? Much more chance of an error or some other fielding blunder on a run-down than a routine throw to first.

by Hudson on Apr 17, 2006 11:36 AM EDT up reply actions  

After going 0-2...
...Nixon smacks a single to right on the 2-2 pitch.  Agreed, Hudson.  Rather an awkward play (especially with 2 out).

by Devine @ Over the Monster on Apr 17, 2006 11:39 AM EDT up reply actions  

AH hahahaha!
Lopez screws the pooch on the sure double-play ball, allowing Nixon to reach second, but Varitek limps down the line.  Oh crap...

by Devine @ Over the Monster on Apr 17, 2006 11:41 AM EDT reply actions  

Tek is suiting up
So it would appear he's okay.

by Hudson on Apr 17, 2006 11:43 AM EDT up reply actions  

Cora!
Gets the run in, and turns it into a double.

by Hudson on Apr 17, 2006 11:46 AM EDT reply actions  

Cora!
Real see-saw battle here as Cora hits it up the middle and Nixon scores.  Weird double as Bloomquist doesn't seem to know what to do with the ball and throws late to 2nd.

by Devine @ Over the Monster on Apr 17, 2006 11:46 AM EDT reply actions  

Stern lines softly to 2nd.
How about no runs this time, Lenny?  (Tell me about the rabbits again...)

by Devine @ Over the Monster on Apr 17, 2006 11:48 AM EDT reply actions  

Heh
I get it.

by Hudson on Apr 17, 2006 11:49 AM EDT up reply actions  

Since it's just you and me so far...
...I'm glad the entire audience got the "joke" (more of a reference, really).  Lopez lines, but Lowell's got it.  Ibanez singles to right.

by Devine @ Over the Monster on Apr 17, 2006 11:52 AM EDT up reply actions  

Double play!
Sexson grounds to Lowell to Loretta to Youkilis.

by Devine @ Over the Monster on Apr 17, 2006 11:55 AM EDT reply actions  

Do it again, Papi!
Youkilis flies to center, Loretta pops out.

by Devine @ Over the Monster on Apr 17, 2006 11:59 AM EDT reply actions  

Ortiz K's...
...Manny's first homer will just have to wait (prays to the Manny shrine behind me).

by Devine @ Over the Monster on Apr 17, 2006 12:03 PM EDT reply actions  

There's my Manny...
Still only a single, but whacked off the bottom of the Monster.

by Devine @ Over the Monster on Apr 17, 2006 12:14 PM EDT reply actions  

RE:
We need to break it open before Rudy Seanez gets on the mound...

by Randy Booth on Apr 17, 2006 12:20 PM EDT reply actions  

RE:
...and he didn't. 2 Run shot by Jurassic Carl. 4-2, Seattle.

by Randy Booth on Apr 17, 2006 12:41 PM EDT up reply actions  

Think they'll let DiNardo have one more?
81 pitches in...

by Devine @ Over the Monster on Apr 17, 2006 12:25 PM EDT reply actions  

That man is awesome.
Another home run.  Another tie game.

by Devine @ Over the Monster on Apr 17, 2006 12:47 PM EDT reply actions  

Papi homers again!

by SoxDevil on Apr 17, 2006 12:47 PM EDT reply actions  

Shit! That was practically a home run!
Manny's on!  Pity the poor pitcher who runs into the  buzzsaw.

by Devine @ Over the Monster on Apr 17, 2006 12:49 PM EDT reply actions  

another one
D.O. ties 'er up again!

by dumhic on Apr 17, 2006 12:49 PM EDT reply actions  

Offense--how I missed you.
Double by Nixon puts runners on 2nd and 3rd with 1 out.

by Devine @ Over the Monster on Apr 17, 2006 12:51 PM EDT reply actions  

Can we say
Rudy Seanez shouldn't be pitching in a tie game situation? I don't think he's had one clean inning at all this year...

by MCaussade on Apr 17, 2006 12:51 PM EDT reply actions  

Ugg.
Lowell, did you have to hit into a DP? That's the worst possible outcome of that AB.

Foulke warming
Thank goodness, Tavarez is ugly in both senses of the word.

by Hudson on Apr 17, 2006 1:09 PM EDT reply actions  

Well, that run was really Cora's fault...
...though I do wish someone had been looking at 2nd base before that steal...

by Devine @ Over the Monster on Apr 17, 2006 1:12 PM EDT up reply actions  

Yeah
But Time Bomb Tavarez makes me nervous even when he's cruising.

by Hudson on Apr 17, 2006 1:14 PM EDT up reply actions  

Damn
Looked like it might drop, coming off the bat.

by Hudson on Apr 17, 2006 1:15 PM EDT reply actions  

Big test here ...
... for Foulke. We need a hold, big time.

by Hudson on Apr 17, 2006 1:17 PM EDT reply actions  

Foulkie K!
I seriously want this guy to start closing again, and for Paps to hit the rotation.

by Hudson on Apr 17, 2006 1:21 PM EDT reply actions  

The $50 Million Dollar Man
Mr. Clutch, David Ortiz at the plate... Ohhh, I thought that was gone.

by Hudson on Apr 17, 2006 1:26 PM EDT reply actions  

Trot!
2-bagger... What now, pinch hit for Cora?

by Hudson on Apr 17, 2006 1:33 PM EDT reply actions  

Oops
Cora not up for a while. Thank goodness. C'mon, Tek.

by Hudson on Apr 17, 2006 1:33 PM EDT reply actions  

YEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSS!
Varitek!  RBI single!  Tied again!

by Devine @ Over the Monster on Apr 17, 2006 1:36 PM EDT reply actions  

Hell yeah
Tek gets it done!

by Hudson on Apr 17, 2006 1:36 PM EDT reply actions  

Foulke for this top of the 9th? Papelbon?
I'm very curious.

by Devine @ Over the Monster on Apr 17, 2006 1:38 PM EDT reply actions  

Foulke...
...it is.

by Devine @ Over the Monster on Apr 17, 2006 1:39 PM EDT up reply actions  

Foulke back in ...
... with Timlin warming.

by Hudson on Apr 17, 2006 1:40 PM EDT reply actions  

Manny!
That was sweet, if a little more casual than I'd like.

by Hudson on Apr 17, 2006 1:41 PM EDT reply actions  

Timlin in.
Uh-oh. Inherited runners and Timlin... Not my favorite situation.

by Hudson on Apr 17, 2006 1:48 PM EDT reply actions  

Oy
6-5 Mariners.

Sox have to come back yet again, with the bottom of the order coming up.

by Hudson on Apr 17, 2006 1:51 PM EDT reply actions  

Youks!
Man on 1st, 2 outs... Loretta's first big moment at Fenway here.

by Hudson on Apr 17, 2006 2:02 PM EDT reply actions  

KEEP THE EFFIN' FAITH!!!
Loretta homers for the walk-off!

by Devine @ Over the Monster on Apr 17, 2006 2:03 PM EDT reply actions  

SWEET LORETTA
Oh what an ending.
