The game will not start on time. The tarp is on the field, although it’s not raining hard.
Update, 7:38: It’s raining pretty good now. So we wait. This is the Twins’ only scheduled trip in. If it’s called, maybe they could have a day/night doubleheader tomorrow. We’ll see what happens.
Update, 7:49: The game is rained out. No makeup date has been determined.
Not a surprise .
During the rain delay those with Extra Innings might want to mosey down to Cleveland to watch Dice-K fall apart!
Is this the Red Sox/ Indians game thread?
Of course! ER gets it started.
Just reading the quotes from LeBron. “Eighteen championships (for Liverpool). I see myself trying to do the same things they have.”
“I’m thrilled to be working with John Henry and Tom Werner.”
GO TRIBE!!!!!
trish,
Gonna do exactly that.
Ugh. Didn’t know that’s who it was mel.
Even better. Let him be here to see his 0-4 heroes go 0-5.
Drive, I’m there also.
Did you know:
no team that has ever stated the season 0-4 has then gone on to win the world series.
blake, I thought I heard NESN say last night that only KC had done it. Are ther teams that started 0-3 and won it? Because if there are, then I am sure they said one KC team had done it 0-4.
Free extra innings preview FTW!
Cashman dealing for a new backup catcher while the rain falls on Gustavo Molina’s Yankee dreams????
trisha,
Thats just what I heard on the radio today….it was a trivia question. They said no team had ever won the WS after starting the season 0-4 and only one team had made it to the WS after starting the season 0-4…..I didn’t hear who the team was.
Poor Tribe. There are about 10 people there tonight.
blake, that may have been it then! It was probably KC that made it to the WS.
Crawford gets an excuse me hit.
Predictions for Ace Dice-K :
7 innings
2 hits
9 K’s
1 BB
Congratulations on an Ace Dice-K win .
“I’m thrilled to be working with John Henry and Tom Werner.”
Don’t forget Jed Hoyer.
Miami Heat star LeBron James is joining forces with Red Sox owners John Henry
and Tom Werner….
in a deal that brings the basketball superstar together with the
Red Sox. (according to a report today in the Wall Street Journal online)
The deal between James and Fenway Sports Group will give James a minority stake in the
Liverpool Football Club, which FSG purchased on October.

WO0WOWOWOWOWOW!!!!
The elf flies around!
2Ks
Tito has been all over the place with his line ups. The elf batting 3rd now.
Cashman dealing for a new backup catcher while the rain falls on Gustavo Molina’s Yankee dreams????
—–
God’s wrath for sending Jesus to Scranton.
Something to think about while watching the Red Sox tonight.
In MLB history, 110 teams have started 0-5; just two made the postseason
1. 1974 Pirates
2. 1995 Reds

“Tito has been all over the place with his line ups. The elf batting 3rd now.”
But Ellsbury still at the top, ahem.
Who said Cashman is dealing for a backup catcher?
AGon fail

”
no team ever came back from an 0-3 deficit either and we know what team broke that almost 7 years ago. I’m not counting them out, waaaaay too early and too much talent up there
Perfect game for Ace Dice-K so far .
HARDEE HAR HAR HAR HAR you fool ER.
TABLOT KS THE SIDE.
Stay here always. You are our assured karmic good luck, dope.
“Tito has been all over the place with his line ups. The elf batting 3rd now.”
where exactly does crawford fit into that lineup ?
he certainly doesn’t seem like a #3 guy. pedroia has the 2 hole locked up. ellsbury seems to be the lead off hitter.
“I’m not counting them out, waaaaay too early and too much talent up there”
You can’t see from Tampa what we can see from Rhody. I counted them out before the season ever began!
DiceBB’s perfect game over.
Peter Abraham has stopped putting game posts up .
L . o . l .
On a burger run , perhaps ?
“no team ever came back from an 0-3 deficit either and we know what team broke that almost 7 years ago. I’m not counting them out, waaaaay too early and too much talent up there”
well yea….but that doesn’t change the trivia fact.
AND MATUSZAKA STARTS OFF RIGHT!
ER is our good luck charm!
Thanks for the reminder about the free extra innings preview LGY! Dice K already throwin meatballs…loove it
Right now the way Crawford is hitting he fits no where in the lineup haha
Lester = fail
Lackey = fail
Chucky = fail
Beckett = fail
DiceK = fail
Choooooooooo!
wow.. diceBB didnt want to be left out of the homerun parade against the sox starters.
AWWWWW.
HOME RUN!!!!
2-0 TRIBE!!!!!!
THANKS ER YOU DOPE!!!!!
Lolololerlolololer
which pitchers to the yankees see this weekend? Buchholz, Beckett and Matsuzaka?
Ah-Choo!
good job choo lets make it 0-5
Man, they absolutely suck!
Looks like Tito needs to have someone warming for DiceK!
Hey Echo . Romeo . Returns
How’s that Gyroball working out for you douche bag?
L . o . l .!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Maybe it’s tough pitching with all his boys on his back?
Shhhh, Jed Hoyer is the spy who hasn’t yet come in from the cold.
Dice K….lol
Crawford should leadoff against righties and hit about 7th against lefties.
I swear I have to go back and find the post where someone here said the Sux were going to feast on Tribe pitching!!!!!
Someone bought the hype ha ha ha.
“Hey Echo . Romeo . Returns
How’s that Gyroball working out for you douche bag?
L . o . l .!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
Tricia……I took you for a BMW 328 Converetible type….
That doorknob Echo Romero does realize that you have to first throw a pitch to have a perfect game, right? First batter got a hit. That dude has way too much time on their hands.
Pat M, if I had the money I think that’s just what I would buy. But I don’t. Bird feed is very expensive. We all have to make choices.
I love my Acura. And the best part is that it’s paid off. I hate debt.
The Cleveland Cabreras:
SS: Asdrubal
RHP: Daniel
2B: Orlando
CF: Melky
?
?
For those of you in the NYC area…is is still raining? Any idea of a start time?
Dice K is awful
Seriously, we need to be welcoming to ER. He is absolutely too flippin’ freakin’ dumb to realize that bad karma he visits by living on our forum and playing the role of midge-like Dbag.
I guess he believes that karma either doesn’t exist or that he is exempt.
Meanwhile DiceK couldn’t stink more.
god that looks painful….
Is anyone here having trouble with YES on Cablevision? Just a blank screen since I tuned in for the game.
isnt melky in KC now?
Daisuke just has no control of his pitches.
He actually has pretty good stuff… just has no idea where it’s going.
Dunce-K with his usual high pitch counts. He’ll be toast by the 4th inning. : )
Karma doesn’t exist, the Red Sox just aren’t very good. Nothing supernatural about it.
indians just did the sox a favor.
Buck just bailed him out… why swing at a 2-0 pitch when Daisuke is having trouble locating???
Could you imagine if the this years yankee team was about to go 0-5? Fans would drive to Cashman’s house.
blake, some espn guy said that managers had been misusing cc for 8 years. Said that boston’s slow start was the perfect time to drop cc to 7th where he belongs. But the problem is cc is getting paid to have a more visible role IMO.
The article came out the day he dropped cc in game 3. Pretty funny.
Dice looks sharp tonight. $50 million posting fee…lmao
“Karma doesn’t exist, the Red Sox just aren’t very good. Nothing supernatural about it.”
The two don’t have to be mutually exclusive! Karma definitely exists AND the Sux aren’t very good.
But what’s nice is that ER being here just insures that the pain comes more quickly for them. Hey I’m all for it.
blake, some espn guy said that managers had been misusing cc for 8 years.

Was it Bobby V? Because he hates Ellsbury and Crawford.
I read that the Media will be ripping God for not being accountable because he is not explaining to them why it is wet out tonight.
SAS, I was feeling fine, so there was no reason for me not to go to work. They were surprised I was there, but I’m glad I went – I did leave about 35 minutes early. I can deal with stiffness and aches …………How are you doing?
“Could you imagine if the this years yankee team was about to go 0-5?”
Benny if this year’s Yankee team was about to go 0-5, I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t be on this forum because I would be strung up for being optimistic.
fatso got a hit. I guess ER decided to go to SOSH where he can cry unashamedly.
m,
I agree. He should hit lead off….at least again RHP but he doesn’t like to lead off apparently. He’s a good player….he’s not the type of player that impacts a game enough to warrant the contract he received IMO…..I’d take him on the Yanks sure, but if Sox fans are expecting 20 million per impact then they probably aren’t going to get it.
Irving going pro by the way after 1 season…..Barnes still deciding.
Trisha – you seem kinda excited about Boston’s season so far ( LOL)
Also, for those who want to look at something pretty….

“I read that the Media will be ripping God for not being accountable because he is not explaining to them why it is wet out tonight”
Talbot sat quite a while. Hope he loosens up enough to get out of this inning unscathed. Varitek should help.
I am not excited about boston’s start, but I am very amused.
Maybe taunting the Red Sox is resulting in a reverse Karma shift?
it’s not raining hard
Geeze Talbot has lost the zone…
Talbot should be sent to aaa if he walks tek.
Geeze Talbot has lost the zone…
–
He shouldn’t have moon walked off the mound after striking out the side.
“Maybe taunting the Red Sox is resulting in a reverse Karma shift?”
Only when a nonfan does it on one of their sites.
He sat 20 minutes. He wouldn’t be the first pitcher to have trouble after sitting that long.
Only when a nonfan does it on one of their sites.
–
Nonfan of what? The Red Sox? Can you account for every red sox blog and all opposing fans? Someone may be tipping the scales out of balance!
Too bad. Not even an out on that one.
Wow, talk about a lucky inning so far for hte Sox. It’s what they needed…. hopefully it ends quickly.
Lots of luck for the Red Sox this inning, I think the Karmic Gods have widened their purview! Danger! Watch what you say
BD if it doesn’t the good news is that DiceK will be back out.
I’d be surprised if some Yankee fans didn’t troll Sox sites on a daily basis.
I guess that explains our misfortunes.
this is shaping up to be a battle of which pitcher will be less terrible.
Jed Hoyer: The Man from C.H.O.W.D.A.H.
Since you don’t believe it in jerkface it shouldn’t much matter what anyone says.
But thanks for playing!
Karma police, arrest this man
He talks in maths…
Trisha,
I think you need to find out who is trolling the red sox and tell them to stop.
Blake – since I saw u were discussing barnes/irving/hoops. I am sure u saw that the huskies, from the big east, were crowned champions, capping off the 2011 season in which the big east was far and away the nations best conference.
UNC looks head and shoulders better than the rest next year if Barnes returns. If he doesn’t, with zeller and henson saying they’re both back, they’ll be pretty darn good.
Duke, in my opinion, will have a rebuilding year. Even with rivers, the talent drain is too much to overcome.
Swinging bunts galore for the sox…impressive rally
“Karma police, arrest this man
He talks in maths…”
“Trisha,
I think you need to find out who is trolling the red sox and tell them to stop”
Read above. You can go and find him if you’d like!
Betsy,
I’m doing fine. The weather is not so good and the kids are coming this weekend. Tough for my grandson if it rains. He’s only 3. It is too cold to swim which he isn’t wild about anyway. It may storm…frustrating. The weather should be perfect here this time of year.
Im not sure why Joe G. Takes out so many players at the same time.. Why would remove Jorge, jete and Martin in one game ? I don’t get that mentality.. Maybe he does it fora reason but I donti get it.
Anyone have an opinion on this, as to why.. Instead of staggering the changes?
P.s. Typing on the dang iPad is harder than the iPhone.
wow PPD
Carlo,
Yea yea yea….just like VCU and Butler were 2 of the 4 best teams right
I’m cautiously optimistic that Barnes will return….he may go but I have a feeling he’ll be back for one more year, we’ll see. Irving will be the #1 pick and he’s already been hurt….I hate to see guys leave after one year but it’s probably the right decision in his case.
Rainout? Booo!
Go Indians!
Who is Shin Chew Shoes? Wow what name!
Here’s the good news. DiceK has had to wait just about as long as Talbot waited in the bottom of the first.
Update, 7:49: The game is rained out. No makeup date has been determined.
postponed? why?
game postponed. hope there is no double header tomorrow.
Could have been a lot worse.
ugh.
so hughes pitches on Saturday then
Everyone rests. Everyone wins!
Bah. Rainout….
I hate rain delays and postponements. What a waste of a night. Now I am stuck watching Dice K
Gustavo Molina weeps.
Martin gets his day off and Molina doesn’t have to play!
Have to be a double header tomorrow
“I hate rain delays and postponements. What a waste of a night. Now I am stuck watching Dice K”
Nobody’s forcing you to watch it. Lots of baseball on other stations too.
DO NOT want Burnett pitching at Fenway. He has been soooo bad there since he came to NY.
They should just skip Garcia.
anyone else hoping that burnett pitches tomorrow and garcia starts in Boston?
I’m disappointed to not be able to watch the game, but I think it’s a good thing. At least the bullpen can rest now.
ac1, I like what I’ve seen from Burnett so am hoping it lasts.
this is good news for the bullpen though. should all be set to go friday, instead of short for tonight. Just hoping no double header tomorrow…
If AJ throws like he did the other night then he’ll be fine at Fenway.
This is probably good for the Yankees but this still sucks
Bummer for us, but not too shabby for the players.
No playing on a wet, cold field. No starts and stops. Guys get a day off, bullpen gets rested, and Joe can set up the rotation any way he wants for Boston. Even if there’s a DH tomorrow, you use Colon for one. That’s his job. It will work out.
It’s all good.
I think there should be a doubleheader tomorrow; keep everyone on schedule and get Gustavo Molina involved in our glorious 2011 Yankee season.
Turn off your phone, Cashman, we want G-Mole!
Godzilla with a 2RBI double to put the A’s up on the Jays
Watching dice pitch is like watching paint dry. 3-2 tribe.
I miss Godzilla.
Just got in and see the game is rained out. Well guess now I can watch Survivor.
Garcia getting skipped, hooray I could be a manager.

============
Five games in and they need a rest along with Jeter, Posada and Martin. Hmmm……..could it be Girardi’s binder ?
Hopefully all the regulars along with the pen will be raring to go when they hit Beantown on Friday.
Ledger_Yankees AJ will pitch tomorrow. Garcia bumped back to first game of the Rangers series.
Not sure I want the Sox 0 fer when the Yanks arrive at Fenway because the Law of Due has to kick in at some point, doesn’t it?
Blake – always appreciate a yea, yea, yea. Ur not alone, can’t stand the 1 and done.
The bottom line is, I said before the tourney, the national champion doesn’t mean their conference was the best. That was my defense to the last few titles coming from the ACC. Uconn was the 9th place team in the big east though.
Pat,
I thought the same thing. No team ever went 0-162, and I would not want the Sox 1st win to come against the Yankees.
Pelfrey getting knocked around by Phillies – 6 runs in the 4th. He got knocked around 1st game of season, also.
Mets really need to get Pelfrey right. It wouldn’t pay to have RA Dickey as your most reliable starter and No. 1.
I take it back, the Mets are only in the 3rd.
Joe,
Guess the Phillies are paying the Mets back for last night.
After three horrible seasons with the Mariners and a rocky 2010 start for the Blue Jays, Brandon Morrow’s career in Toronto began taking flight in the beginning of July.
Why?
Morrow began to figure out how to “settle into himself” rather than just the game, as most pitchers do.
The meaning of that is, Brandon Morrow became less and less reliant on his fastball, and began learning how to utilize his off-speed pitches to setup his fireball.
Hopefully hughes does the same.
So, then, Phil-Nova-CC for the weekend, I guess.
I guess now it all becomes clear what Boston was training for in the last two weeks of spring training.
That was a nice piece of hitting there by Gonzalez I must say.
are they planning on skipping Garcia?
Boston wins this game easily and they win tomorrow with Lester. They enter our series 2-4 and hopefully we enter 4-2.
are they planning on skipping Garcia?
–
Yes
Skipping Freddy seems like the right move….though having your first start against the Rangers after not pitching in nearly 3 weeks can’t be fun.
So are they just playing 1 tomorrow?
Apparently Joe Girardi saw the weather forecast before posting the line-up,and only put Molina in to tease Nick. He still hasn’t received his take on the bet…he can make or break the bet…
Time is ticking.
“Boston wins this game easily and they win tomorrow with Lester. They enter our series 2-4 and hopefully we enter 4-2″
???????
That was a nasty change up or something to K Drew.
Bojo, Girardi obviously also knew the game tonight was being rained out so he used both Soriano and Mo back to back last night knowing they wouldn’t be needed tonight.
His binder actually has no baseball stats, it all advanced, sophisticated storm tracking information…
NICE pitch by Talbot. Nice inning.
Yeah Talbot!

Yep Trisha – you read it right. They win tonight and tomorrow. They are americas team. They are the greatest. We are merely the little engine that could.
“Yep Trisha – you read it right. They win tonight and tomorrow. They are americas team. They are the greatest. We are merely the little engine that could.”
Tell you what Carlo, I think it is absolutely great for the Suxers to walk around with the target on their backs. I absolutely believe the pressure of that has gotten to them. Meanwhile the Yanks get to fly at least a little under the radar.
Garcia vs Texas last year
7 IP, 2 ER
6 IP, 3 ER
I forgot that “Hinske with your best shot” came from a contest in here.
From somebody that called themselves MANGER.
gustavo molina has twenty five reasons to live
MG–good one!
The most interesting baseball story to me today is the Barry Bonds case. Down from 15 indictments to 4 weak ones. If I was on the jury, I would push for 25 years to life–for the prosecutors. What a waste of taxpayer dollars! I’d be outraged…and I think some of the jurors might feel the same.
I expect Barry to be cleared on all charges by early next week.
Trisha – agreed, love it as well. But they are just so good. It would take an act of God to overtake them. I truly don’t even know why we are playing out the season.
Hey ER…when the Sox go 0-10, does Tito get fired?
Imposter Molina’s long awaited debut is very likely not going to happen until the 16th now.
Carlo, it’s all about the gate. If these games weren’t money makers, they’d be given the rings right now. MLB is greedy. So we have to go through the pain of watching them continue to achieve.
Life just isn’t fair sometimes.
Mwah-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha….
Think Talbot just got squeezed a little.
If I had a handlebar moustache, I’d be twisting it now…
Is anyone else watching the Cleveland broadcast and as creeped out as me about that blonde lady sandwich between two people dressed as hot dogs??
Thats what I call a saturday night, LGY!
Nice to see Talbot still dealing. No idea what his pitch count is at this point.
LGY, stuck with the NESN broadcast.
GREAT JOB BY TALBOT!!!!!
the Knicks are up 17 on the 76ers midway through the 3rd period, a win puts them back in the 6 seed for the playoffs.
P.J. Pilittere…
C’mon down!
Funny how the Knicks talk dried up when they won a few games.
LGY, stuck with the NESN broadcast.
–
The NESN broadcast shows the pitch count in the upper left. Underneath the base indicators and the score.
Hey, Mets showing some fight. Now it’s Blanton getting lit up.
And, Charlie is leaving Blanton in the game. I know the Phils’ pen had to pitch a lot of innings yesterday, when Hamels got knocked out early, but it’s 7-6 now, and could lose what should have been a laugher.
Now, bases loaded with one out in the 5th. Mets have batted around.
It may not be a good baseball choice, but I want Garcia to pitch. He is on my fantasy team
Shows you how close attention I pay to NESN.
DiceK at 65 pitches in the 4th inning.
I haven’t been on much the last few days, so I may well be wrong, but is it my imagination or has the Rays 0-5 start gone utterly unnoticed here?
Watching DiceK IS like watching paint dry. Not sure I want to do 9 straight innings of this…
“Funny how the Knicks talk dried up when they won a few games.”

It’s baseball season stuckey!
A Molina in hand is worth two in the bush leagues, Mr. Cashman.
“It’s baseball season stuckey!”
Fair attempt, LGY…

If he keeps pitching like this we will only have to suffer through another inning.

Least I can go and get my wife’s ring back from the pawn shop … for a while, anyway.

I’m a Knicks fan, yet I’m watching the Sox game and only flipping to the Knicks at commercials.
Wow Talbot at 96 pitches. Hopefully they get him out of the game soon.
Why even watch Basketball? Once it gets to a certain point theres no danger of playoff teams changing.
“I’m a Knicks fan, yet I’m watching the Sox game and only flipping to the Knicks at commercials.”
What, no Orioles and Blue Jays, the top teams in the division?
Why didn’t they get Crawford out? What a bunch of maroons.
That was heads down baseball.
That was a freakin strike. This ump has missed several.
Thank God. Talbot did a credible job but it is obvious that he’s tiring. That and the ump not doing him any favor. Hopefully Durbin gets the job done.
Nice job by the king of milkshakes.
Inning over.
Why do they act like it’s a big deal for Dusty Smurf to get on the ground to make a play?
Impressive job by Perez.
I’m thinking this is where it starts to go south for the Sux.
Don’t bunt!
Take the friggin bunt off
The guy can’t throw a strike
Wow. You gotta get something out of this.
2011 Red Sox: BEST TEAM EVER
Words can’t even describe how terrible boston looks. Yikes.
WHAT A RIOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am somehow sniffing 0-5 wafting in and about.
See Ya!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
sorry had to go a Kay impression
Thanks Puke and Varitek. Double thanks to Cabrera for that bomb. Wheres Ruby / ER ? LOL !
And lets hope we are not their get well tonic starting on Friday.
Everyone on the next thread.
