19 runs for the Tigers?

WTF?! They might as well let the setup guy finish the game, I think he can hold the lead. :)

Ells with a nearly ridiculous catch

Just missed a sliding catch into the “bullpen.”

And then he makes one!!!

Holy cow what a catch!

“OK, Julio Lugo has 11 errors, but he can’t be going this bad can he?

Manny Ramirez is currently taking ground balls at shortstop. Manny’s got the night off, so I guess he’s just out there having some fun. He did it in Baltimore last week as well. So far he’s fielded every ball cleanly.”

How often do you see a pitcher

make a catch in foul territory? Tek got hit in the face with Sweeney’s bat which stopped him from making the play. Nice job covering by Beckett though.

Sox still looking for a hit

We’ve seen a bunch of really lazy popouts/flyouts. The only well-hit ball was a liner by Papi to deep right that was caught.

Justin Douashadgiwueghihasndfihiuhiuwde with the perfect game so far

Perfect game is over!

By way of the HBP! Huzzah!

HBP

YEAH!!!! :)

I’m kidding, but nice way to say FUCK YOU to a perfect game. :)

A homer would have been more fun

But I’ll take it. Coco just had a very nice bunt attempt that just went foul.

It worked last time, so...

Douasdiuhdiqhiwehihisuhihi1238u8weasdji12!@@#$%#### with the no-hitter so far. :)

Strike 'em out, throw 'em out baby

Bad calls, probably, but what goes around comes around.

by soxaholic on May 24, 2008 10:37 PM EDT   0 recs

OK, come on guys

Please get a hit. Two would be nice. Three, even better. But at least one.

by soxaholic on May 24, 2008 10:42 PM EDT   0 recs

I wouldn't mind a grand slam, even if that means just a hit

Hope we still have some in store. :)

Papi ends it

Now let’s turn it into a run.

Tip my cap to Duchscherer

he was brilliant today. Hopefully we’ll get them tomorrow.

argh

went to the game, seemed so fast, home by 930?!?. Nice to have a chance to see Beckett pitch, would have been nice to see a hit or two. Oh I guess I saw two. sigh

Duchsherer...

Was very good.

I saw the game too. Aside from the 1 H, he didn’t look unhittable in the vernacular – in that there was plenty of contact, but it was all that “just hit hard enough to get a flyout/rountine ground ball” stuff. Infuriating.

I take solace from the fact that the A’s play in a stadium which still celebrates the A’s career of the great HGiambino, which looks like a prison (particularly from the BART platform), and which is located next to an industrial metal-processing plant and a chemical storage facility. I felt like I was watching the game from inside a giant crack-pipe…
