The Red Sux would have gotten the call without even a review.

But native Ohioans who were exiled to this cesspool are still cool, right?

These people up here think the entire world revolves around them (the natives - transplants that we've met while in exile are nice). I can't wait until we finally can move out of here back to normal, considerate people. (OK, rant over)

by **andrew6586** » Mon Aug 01, 2011 10:37 pm

Man how many times have we hit the top of the wall this year. Also, how fucking unlucky are we that the ball takes the funniest bounce in the world and goes right to the right fielder. Unbelievable luck this season.

Even physics hate Cleveland

by **pup** » Mon Aug 01, 2011 10:37 pm

Ball hit the rail on that seat.

by **Erie Warrior** » Mon Aug 01, 2011 10:37 pm

Why isn't there a yellow line along the top of the fence in Fenway like every other park in the country?

Yes.

What's taking so long?

Clearly a HR!

by **British_Pharaoh** » Mon Aug 01, 2011 10:38 pm

Bye bye scoreless streak for Bard. over a 2 month long streak.

And it was A-Cab who drove in that last run in May just like he has tonight.

by **pup** » Mon Aug 01, 2011 10:38 pm

no doubt about it

by **Dnthateonthepronk** » Mon Aug 01, 2011 10:38 pm

Homerun all the way

by **Erie Warrior** » Mon Aug 01, 2011 10:38 pm

Touch 'em all Acab!

Speaking of balls landing in the stands, did anyone see the clip of the New York fan who didn't see the ball coming and got absolutely drilled in the face? Had it been any other city, I might have felt bad.

Chic grabs her leg

by **andrew6586** » Mon Aug 01, 2011 10:39 pm

Holy fuck! We finally got a lucky call! Have I mentioned how much I love Fenway Park?

by **dazindiansfanuk** » Mon Aug 01, 2011 10:39 pm

Since the Orlando trade: -

Asdrubal 6-for-7 with 2B, 2HR

So much for any negative effect!

Betcha ESPN leads off with this clip tonight on Sportscenter.

by **Cerebral_DownTime** » Mon Aug 01, 2011 10:39 pm

It hit the cup holder.

Underwood would make a great detective. "Oh wow, i didn't notice that bullet hole the first time through!"

by **drum** » Mon Aug 01, 2011 10:41 pm

I could tell it hit behind the wall but on the replay you could see the ball even tip the inside edge ofvthe wall on the way back into the field of play

by **Adverb Harry** » Mon Aug 01, 2011 10:43 pm

For the record, I only hate Fenway's dimensions when the Red Sox are batting. The rest of the time, it's okay. (Considering they play 81 games there as opposed to the 6-10 tops that other teams do, I think that's a fair compromise.)

by **British_Pharaoh** » Mon Aug 01, 2011 10:43 pm

It hit the Boston slag's knee

They darned well better give Weaver the same thing for his up-and-in pitch yesterday. Ruling due out tomorrow. I'll be watching...

Take that you Massholes! Can't always go you guys way. Lady not gonna get one her knees in a long time

Wow, Carlos- look at you with the 11 pitch walk.

Cmon, Fuku- we're not done yet.

It's Boston. She'll be creative and figure out a way. Won't be able to wait with a cast on.

Yep. A bump and the gnarly indentations of the seam right on the patella.
It's going to be a huge bump come tomorrow. Best get a pack of frozen peas on that pin.

by **andrew6586** » Mon Aug 01, 2011 10:47 pm

It's at bats like that that give me confidence that Carlos will turn into the player we expected him to be. His great Ee at the plate and his ability to foul away pitches gives me confidence. His defense however, is atrocious. That's for another time though.

by **Am I Here Again?** » Mon Aug 01, 2011 10:49 pm

With Tito's choice of pitcher I almost think he's given up on this game. I want us to make sure that happens. Come ON Fuku!

by **Adverb Harry** » Mon Aug 01, 2011 10:50 pm

Hey, Boston...Fuk You!

Did he shorten up the swing with 2 strikes? I'm still waiting to see that although up by 2, late, I wouldn't have been too upset with the loooooong swing.

Smell LaPorta !!!

by **dazindiansfanuk** » Mon Aug 01, 2011 10:51 pm

Matty!!!!

Pile on boys!

by **British_Pharaoh** » Mon Aug 01, 2011 10:51 pm

Wooooo!

by **Adverb Harry** » Mon Aug 01, 2011 10:51 pm

Okay, I'm beginning to come around on Fenway a bit.

by **Erie Warrior** » Mon Aug 01, 2011 10:51 pm

LaPorta blows!

Because the indians are up?

Or, wait: are they discussing Derek Jeter? He hit a home run for his 3000th hit, in case you did not know that.

ESPN and my Guide on Time Warner says this game should be on .

If the game is also on STO, it's always blacked out on ESPN in STO's viewing area.

I'm from upstate NY though so I'm not sure why its not on.

by **Dnthateonthepronk** » Mon Aug 01, 2011 10:52 pm

breaking ball allowed him to pull it....thank god it was up

by **Am I Here Again?** » Mon Aug 01, 2011 10:52 pm

Wow, LaPorta doing it on both sides of the game. Nice play at 1st and now an RBI! Now if he could only do that consistently....

by **googleeph2** » Mon Aug 01, 2011 10:52 pm

just relax, chiz.

reeeeeally enjoying this

by **RedDawg53** » Mon Aug 01, 2011 10:52 pm

LaPorta is a beast (flex)

by **British_Pharaoh** » Mon Aug 01, 2011 10:52 pm

Perez hasn't pitched for 5 days. I figure he will pitch in the 9th save situation or not.

by **dazindiansfanuk** » Mon Aug 01, 2011 10:53 pm

Big hit here if Zeke can come through

by **Adverb Harry** » Mon Aug 01, 2011 10:53 pm

Let's at least get a 4-run lead. I've got a bad feeling about C.Perez tonight.

by **Dellucci TailGator** » Mon Aug 01, 2011 10:53 pm

I know people are indifferent about Fukudome, but I think he's a massive upgrade over Buck/Kearns.

by **Symbolic47** » Mon Aug 01, 2011 10:55 pm

We got this.

by **dazindiansfanuk** » Mon Aug 01, 2011 10:55 pm

Smith or Pestano in the 8th?!

If it was my call.... I'm riding the hot hand and going with Smith.

I don't like a Pestano-Ortiz match-up.
