12:03: I’ve had chips and Salsa for breakfast and my brother came in with reinforcements  in the form of Pepsi and Beef Stew from Demos for this marathon sports watching Sunday. I actually don’t mind this early start time.  If it was a deciding game 5, I would want the build up of a prime time night game, but a win or go home game 3, I prefer having to get up and just get it done.

12:12 Buchholz’s fastball looks good as he retires Chone “pronounce it sean, no really” Figgins to fly out.

12:14 Abreu gets a single. I fucking  hate him with a passion. For one he is a Yankee, 2 he has an annoying face, 3 his a bitch to get out.

12:15 bad pick off attempt gets by Yoouk and Abreu gets to second. I thought Youk had a decent chance to get him at second with a better throw.

12:22 Buchholz does a good job getting out of the inning after Vlad fouls off some solid pitches. Vladimir Guerrero is not as good as he used to be because of all the injuries, but he is still scary as hell up there.

12:28 Pedroia grounds out for out number 2. Fuck. We need our righties to nail Kazmir.

12:30 Victor swings at a 3-1 pitch and flies out. Terrible first inning by the batters

12:38 Buchholz strikes out Izturis while Rivera steals second.

12:42 Napoli gets a HBP on bullshit that hit the knob of the bat. Thanks again crappy Umpires

12:46 Buchholz does a good job covering first to get Aybar and end the innings. Aside from a slightly high pitch count, Buchholz is doing fine. Now back to the bats

12:53 Bay works a walk. Lets hope that is the start of Kazmir reverting to one of those old Tampa style starts when he walks 7 guys through 4 innings.

12:57 Ortiz and Lowell hit 2 harmless flyballs to end the inning. Some of our old stalwarts like Lowell and Papi are not as Stalwarty as they used to be.

12:58 Through 2 innings Buchholz has thrown 42 pitches and Kazmir 29. Not a good sign.

1:03 Ellsbury makes a great catch on a sinking line drive by  Abreu: 2 outs

1:04 Buchholz gets Vlad to fly out. Back to the bats: Lets see if this is the innings when we get our second run of the series

1:05 both football games on are bad match ups: Giants vs. Oakland and KC vs. The Cowboys. Richard Semour should have never reported to the Raiders and demanded a trade.

1:09 JD Drew shows off his warning track power for out number 1

1:12 A-Gon does a great job working a 6 pitch walk. This Ellsbury at bat coming up is huge.

1:13 Ellsbury smacks a single opposite field. We need the MVP version of Dustin right now

1:14 BOOYAA: Dustin nails one off the wall, A-Gon scores and Ellsbury speed scores him for first. Fenway baseball baby. My friend Aly texts me to say she called that

1:16 RBI single from Victor I was a steal for Masterson Martinez

1:21 Youk and Bay line out. Still great inning.

1:26 fuck Morales hits one out. Good that it is a solo shot. It always seems like something bad happens after a pitching coach or manager appears in one of those pointless in game interviews like John Farrell just did.

1:29 Buchholz gets out of the inning. One run ain’t so bad as long as our offense keeps up the pressure and knocks Kazmir out.

1:34 Mike “Jen Garner said I look like George Clooney” Lowell hits a single off the wall.

1:36 Holy Shit! JD Drew hits one of his randomly well timed home runs out of nowhere. This is guy is one of the biggest enigma’s I have ever seen

1:40 Ellsbury grounds out to end the inning, still 5-1. Good stuff

1:44 Napoli gets a double after a strange bounce off the wall down the line

1:47 Buchholz great fastball on the inside corner to strike out Aybar.

1:50 Another great pitch: Curveball strike 3 looking against Chone.

1:53 Buchholz gets Abreu who is always a bitch to get out to fly out to center. Great job pitching around that lead off double

1:59 Sox get one 1,2,3,. I would have preferred if we at least made Kazmir throw  more pitches that innings

2:00 The Giants are up 28-0 against the Raiders. I hope they save some suck for next year so we can get a top 5 pick.

2:05 damn it, Hunter doubles and gets to third on a Baulk.

2:07 Strange play. Lowell knocks down a grounder. It gets away. Hunter does not go home and but Vlad is safe at first.

2:11 walk and they are taking Buchholz out. Overall good start by Buchholz. Lets see if Bard can pull a Papelbon in his first post season.

2:16 Doubleplay, 1 run scores. I’ll take it.

2:17 pop up and A-Gone makes the catch. Great pitching by Bard

2:24 Lowell gets the walk after Kazmir can’t find the plate. That was a big walk with 2 outs to increase Kazmir’s pitch total.

2:25 JD grounds out, to end the inning. So much for my talk about the walk.

2:29 Bard great breaking ball to strike out Napoli.

2:32 good job battling back against Aybar after falling behind 3-0.

2:35 STRIKE THREE!

2:47 Martinez strikes out after a Pedroia walk to end the inning. Martinez was too geared up to swing at the pitch which ended up way out of the strike zone.

2:54 Abreu gets double after Youk misplays a ball to out of play.

2:57 Wagner strikes out Hunter

2:59 Wagner walks Vlad on a bad 3-2 pitch that was nowhere near the plate.

3:01 Pedroia knocks down a grounder and gets out Moralis

3:02 Cue The Dropkick Murphys

3:06 Shit Shit Shit 2 run single 5-4

3:08 Papelbon picks off that little biatch Reggie Willits

3:14 Youk grounds out even with Aybar bobble. Youk has had a tough series so far at the plate.

3:18 Papi gets his first hit of the series. I almost wish it hit Jepson.

3:20 Gathright gets the steal despite the pitchout.

3:21 Boooyaa Lowell knock in Gathright. We can score of steals when we need to as well mother fuckers

3:25 Darrin Oliver gets Drew out. Oliver is a classic example of why you should not let your boys grow up being right handers.

3:31 Victor great catch. Next time punch the fan in the face after.

3:35 Aybar single, Damn It

3:36 Figgins uo watch out for a bunt single attempt

3:38 Pap walks Figgins on a terrible 3-2 pitch 6 feet in the air. This is scary with Abreu up. A hit in the gap will score both Aybar and Figgins

3:42 TBS puts up the 27 innings without an earned run stat to Jinxs Papelbon

3:43 Damn It: Abreu doubles off wall. One run score. Bay missed the cut off man

3:45 Walking Hunter to face Abreu. Hunter does scare me a little more at this point in their careers so u gotta do it.  

3:46 Vlad nails a single angles take the lead. FUCK FUCK FUCK.

3:47 Okajima gets the fly out to end the inning

3:55 Lowrie pops up

3:57 Ellsbury pops up to the catcher

3:59 Pedroia fly’s out series over.

This Sox team just did not have the swag or spark of past years. We need to upgrade at several positions and figure out a way to get more power in the line up.

4:15 Lets see if the Pats can wash the taste of that Sox game away

4:16 old football uniforms are stupid

4:17 I am already sick of people saying the Wild Horses Formation

4:18 Terrible tackling by the Pats defense for these first few plays

4:20 Denver driving and Pats call time out. Josh Mcdaniels is trying to throw every wrinkle he can come up with against his former team

4:23 Pats stop coming out of the time out. Denver goes for long field goal. Way wide. If Mcdaniels had any balls he would go for it

4:28 great play with the fake reverse screen to Morris

4:30 Touchdown Welker!!! Good protection by the o-line on that play

4:38 Fumble!! MAYO’s back!

4:43 Morris knows how to find and hit a hole

4:45 Brady overthrows a wide open Moss

4:46 Gostkowski nails a 53 yarder perfect. 10-0

4:55 Morris gets stuffed on 3^trd and 1. I hate when handoffs on   third or fourth in one take too long.

4:56 Fumble on the return but Denver recovers

5:00 hey a Jabar Gaffney sighting

5:01 Mcdaniels wussess out again and punts on 4^th and 4 from the Pats 39. Faulk makes a good play to block the guy who might have downed it

5:07 Pats currently are running well and using the dual white dwarf star system offense of Welker and Edelman.

5:09 Mcdaniels challenges a 3 yard play

5:14 Mankins late hit takes us out of Field Goal range

5:17 nice group sack of Orton

5:21 see we get called for roughing the passer too. Everyone can shut up now

5:22 there are few things more fun to watch in football then when a lineman tips a ball straight into the air and it is up for grabs. Unfortunately it fell to the ground in this case.  

5:23 another catch this time for 12. Orton is playing pretty well; Denver driving

5:25 bad cornerback play by Springs. TD Denver

5:30 nice carch by Welker

5:35 Fuck Welker is nailed in the back. Walks off field so hopefully it is not too bad

5:37 Brady calmly calls play with time running out and throws it to Watson for the TD

5:40 Randy Moss INT (halftime)

6:05 seeing first flags of the day

6:07 Gaffney gets a catch after 2 tips. There where like 5 pats around it. Someone should have knocked it down

6:08 catch by another former Pat Daniel Grahm

6:10 Mcdaniels wusses out again and kicks the field goal on 4^th and 1.

6:13 Edelman has a nice run back to the 35

6:17  great long pass to Moss who almost laterals it to Welker

6:19 Gostkowski misses a 40 yarder. Ughh we need those. Still only a one possession game and Denver has pretty good starting position

6:26 Good stop by Banta-Cain on 3^rd down.

6:27 Pats pinned down in own 5 by kick

6:32 Hanson does a good acting job to sell the roughing the passer

6:38 Light goes down. Football is a brutal game. I am surprised that any players last the year.

6:42 offside’s to keep the drive going. Denver shoots themselves in the foot

6:47 Pats stopped for real this time, but Slater does a great job to down it at the 1.

6:51 Pats not allowed to challenge: bullshit forward progress ruling

6:54 big screen pass for denver

6:58 Bullshit taunting call followed by Denver TD Fuck

7:06 Brady makes a bad throw to Welker on 3^rd and 4 and forces the Pats to punt.

7:10 nice play by Springs to stop Denver on third down

7:12 Morris makes a very good 17 yard long run

7:14 Morris FUMBLE Kaczur great job on the recovery

7:16 Brady FUMBLE FUCk

7:17 Denver fumbles but no review

7:19 SACK!

7:21 OVETIME

7:23 coined toss loss

7:26 No review of a play that could have been an int or a drop pass

7:33 Pats offsides WTF

7:33 Springs could have int that fuck

7:35 kick is good

7:36 Epic Fail Boston Sports Day
