SOX BEAT A'S, LOSE TO M'S.
The alphabet soup road trip hit seattle last night and the Red Sox defense was exposed, big time.
It was a battle of 1996 Red Sox pitchers as Moyer took on Suppan.
Boston Red Sox 5
Seattle Mariners 10
W: Mateo (4-0)
L: Timlin (4-4)
S: Hasegawa (12)
Wrapup & Box Score
Divisional Magic #: 46
Wild Card Magic #: 40
Suppan dissapointed. The defense fell apart. "Timid" Timlin gave up a huge Grand Slam. Millar and Kapler choked late against Hasegawa. Todd Jones gave up 2 in 2 innings.
The good news is that Ramirez continues to hit as does Garciaparra. We also have Pedro "undefeated against the Mariners" Maritnez going this afternoon.
The Man of the Game is Ichiro who went 3 for 5 with a single, double and Grand Slam. He scored twice and knocked in 4.
The Bitch-Goat point will be divided thusly: Garciaparra, Walker, and Mueller will all get 0.1 for their poor defense in the 6th inning. Walker made an error that made Nomar come off the second base bag, Nomar couldn't handle a tough hop and Bill Mueller bobbled what should have been a foul out. Suppan and Jones will each get 0.2 for their less than spectacular performances. Timlin will get 0.3 for relenting a Grand Slam to Ichiro. Yes, he did have poor defense behind him, but he threw the pitch. here are the B-G standings:
1. Manny, Lyon - 1.0
3. Timlin, Walker, Kim - 0.9
5. Burkett - 0.7
6. Jones, Millar, Lowe - 0.6
9. Mueller, Mendoza, Jones - 0.5
11. Nomar, Grady, Rupe - 0.4
15. Varitek, Ortiz, Fossum, Pedro, Fox - 0.3
21. Suppan, Damon - 0.2
22. Nixon, Seanez, Shiell, Jackson - 0.1
Todd Walker has really been climbing the B-G standings. Jones is very high as well. Not as high as his 7.82 ERA. Once again, rest assured Red Sox nation, we do not have the best bullpen in baseball.
New York won, Oakland lost.
Now for the good news, we split with Oakland. Manny came up huge with a solo HR in the 9th to force the game into extra innings.
Boston Red Sox 4
Oakland Athletics 2
10 INNINGS
W: Kim (6-8)
L: Mecir (2-2)
BS: Foulke (5)
H: Bradford, Rincon (16, 8)
Recap
Box Score
A solid start by Wakefeld, who has become a rock in the rotation for us, and a clutch HR by Manny combine for a win.
The Man of the Game goes to Manny who went 3 for 4 with a pair of singles and that huge HR. Manny is on the verge of passing Garciaparra and Mueller for the top BA on the team. Here are the MOTG standings after 51 awarded. Manny technically got MOTG #50, truly a great milestone:
1. Nomar - 6
2. Manny, PEDRO - 5
3. Varitek - 4
4. Mueller, Nixon, Millar - 3
8. R. Halladay (TOR) - 2
9. Ortiz, Burkett, Lowe, Walker, Kapler, Burkett, Sanchez, Rupe, Lyon, Ichiro (SEA), K. Foulke (OAK), T. Hudson (OAK) D. Rolls (TB) M. Mussina (NYY), A. Pettitte (NYY) J. Crede (CWS), E. Loiza (CWS), JD Drew (StL), B. Myers (PHI), J. Pierre (FLA) - 1
Pedro takes on Joel Pineiro today at 4:05 on Fox. Pedro is 10-0 vs. Seattle with an 0.94 ERA which is amazing considering how good Seattle has been in recent years.
We need a good long outing from Pedro. Speaking of which, the Boston Herald had an interesting article the other day. After going 8 or more innings, which has happened thrice this season, Pedro is 0-3 in his next start with an ERA over 10. Perhaps Grady should consider this the next time he has Pedro go 9 against Anaheim when his next start is against Oakland.
Jeremey Giambi's season is done. (story) So what are the Sox gonna do without Giambi? Probably win a World Series. Or they'll just give his at-bats, which were far too numerous, too David McCarty.
Next sunday's game against Seattle has been rescheduled to start at 8:05 and will be on ESPN outside of New England.
So Sox-M's today at 4. Arsenal-Everton today at 10 am, broadcast on tape delay at 12 noon on Fox Sports World.
Predictions:
Boston 3, Seattle 1
Arsenal 2, Everton 0
