There's an excellent 0-0 baseball game between the Sox and Rays on ESPN going into the 11th after an awesome catch by Reddick. I noticed that ESPN will follow it up with Yanks/Rays tomorrow and then Mets/Cards on Wednesday. I can understand the Red Sox and Yankees since they are playing the Rays and all three teams are in a tight race, but the Mets?

This game is driving me nuts. Gonzo misses a big hit by inches, Reddick strikes out bases loaded on a full count....please let's just fucking score here. This is a good game though, just driving me crazy.

I get to go to the game on tuesday, glad I'm getting Kyle Weiland in my only game this year.

Damn it.

OK, the Red Sox officially don't deserve to win this game. That was beyond pitiful. We lose every extra inning game in Tampa and New York, its literally been years.

I'm thinking no one wants to win this game. Perhaps the Sox are trying to avoid having to go to Baltimore. Sure the O's have been terrible of late and are ripe for the picking but the city itself is a fuckin' dump.

I work 9 - 8 tomorrow. Yeah, I could go to bed, but frankly, I have trouble sleeping on normal nights, I know I won't sleep while a game is going on.

Oh great, Sutton batting for Ortiz.

My dog has fallen asleep waiting for his usual night time walk.

The Red Sox owe us this one after that debacle against The Angels earlier in the year.

Mets and Astros went scoreless into the 24th inning in 68 according to the broadcast crew. Let's not break that tonight/this morning.

Onward to the 14th!

To the 14th we go!

OK the pitcher should be tossed, that was two straight head hunting pitches.

I literally have to be up in six hours, this is ridiculous.

Nothing says a long baseball game like a shot of a couple of porkers yawning.

shemps#1 · **Reply #365 on:** July 18, 2011, 12:10:35 AM

Bring on the 15th!

metaldams · **Reply #366 on:** July 18, 2011, 12:12:38 AM

Aceves made that last inning merciful. I would be so happy if we won this game. Every time I be a fan and watch these late extra innings games, we lose. Maybe I should go to bed, then we'll have a chance.

Oh fucking hell I thought Pedey had that!

Shit, so close Pedroia.

So did I, unfortunately it wasn't meant to be.

I think Youk has a gravitational baseball pull all his own.

metaldams · **Reply #371 on:** July 18, 2011, 12:17:47 AM

Alright, it's up to Sutton and McDonald to drive the big runs in!

Let's do this before this game goes on so long Gonzo will be batting below .300 tomorrow.

He grew up idolizing Don Baylor.

Ah, 2 hit batters, now I predict the game ends on a Scutaro error.

The glitter Mom is freaking me out but I like the brunette behind her.
