O-o-T Scoreboard - Wed

[Frayed Knot]

Yanx getting shut out for the 2nd straight day against Bal'mer.

3-0 heading for the 9th .... ARod 1Bs, Matsui 1Bs, Posada Ks
- Now Abreu PHing (Yanx started a almost all LH hitting lineup against Bedard) and Orioles go for a LHP



Tampa went up 5-0 early against Boston & Matsuzaka
Now 6-4 Tampa heading for the 9th

[Frayed Knot]

Abreu GOs for the 2nd out ... but the Os keep the lefty Walker in to pitch to Shelly Freekin Duncan because they'll go to Giambi if they bring in a RHP .... and Duncan hits a game-tying HR.

I was really hoping that you were lying. . .and then I went and looked.

Damn you, truthteller!

Chad Bradford has grown an awful 1980s-style mustache this season...

[Frayed Knot]

I just picked up the game and figured I'd follow the final outs ... now these fucks are going to win and split the final two games after being shut out for 17-2/3 innings.

Chad Bradford got out of the 9th and they're headed for 10.


Meanwhile Al Reyes - who blew yesterday's save for TB - is in to try and close this one.
- Crisp 1Bs, Lugo 2Bs, (6-5), Pedroia Ks, Youkilis Ks
so it's 2 out, tying run on 2nd, Ortiz & Manny due up

[metirish]

O's take the lead back ,Tejada knocks in two of Rivera

[Frayed Knot]

Or the Os can make a liar out of me by starting the 10th 2B, 2B, GO, HR
(Markakis, Tejada, Huff on the hits)

[Frayed Knot]

Ortiz walked but Manny K'd to end the game.


If the Yanx come back with another 3 runs (at least) in the 10th youse guys are responsible for notifying my next of kin cuz I'm ending it all if that happens.

[Centerfield]

6-3 is your final. FK, you can step down from the ledge.

[Frayed Knot]

All hail Chad Bradford, savior of the day. Gets the final 4 outs with only an infield single as a smudge.

And now that you know the ending, the way it got there is BETTER than it would have been if they had gone down meekly in the 9th.
Mariano's recent 3-4 outings have been fugly.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

I was thinking aboput killing him just for posting that the MFYs had almost lost in the 9th. I was silently watching that gamecast and praying nobody said a word. Oh well. All's well that ends with Mariano's 3rd consecutive ineffective inning
