Thanks Robbie, two out RBI
Andy looks good -- good control.
The Red Sox pitching staff walked in three runs today.
So far.
[4] Ain't that a shame.
The Sox are rallying in the ninth. Pedroia and Papi grounded out, but now four straight hits... They needed seven runs, though, so not exactly a cliff-hanger.
Dammit, a hit.
Five straight hits.
Unbelievable. The Angels start the inning up seven runs. They get two quick outs. And five minutes later they bring in the closer in a Save situation!
Oy.
Only one, I'll take that.
But he strikes out Ellsbury to end it.
Bermuda triangle at second today.
Nix gets that run back.
Excellent. And only 55 pitches through five, Andy is on CG pace so far.
Dammit, I wanted runs that inning.
Well, Saunders is done, anyway. I figure.
Nope, he's back.
Now he's gone.
Good job Nix, some insurance.
You just can't stop J-Nix. He's an RBI machine.
Ha!
Andy could still pitch the CG. 79 pitches through seven. If he has a good eighth, he should come out for the ninth.
Just dandy.
Well, for the record, I would have left Pettitte in. But maybe Joe "saw something..."
Must.
Throw.
Strikes.
Ahhhh. Nice.
One more...
Joe's a genius.
Excellent. Gritner's grit may seem pointless, but I bet he just eliminated Oliver Perez from tomorrow's game.
Great. One more run please.
Mo time!
C'mon Mo don't fuck around. That first hit was pure luck.
Gosh, remember when Ichiro hit a game-ending bomb against Mo a few years ago in Seattle?
There's One.
Siddown Big Man.
Fuck.
Strike two
How Sweet it is.
All Praise Who? That's right, baby. Mo.
Strike Three!
I believe the Andy-Mo count is now up to 82.
Thanks be to Mo.
The Blue Jays win in the 18th!
Mets-Marlins going to the 19th!
[41] But not to the 21st.
Poor Metsies.
Man, the Mets had 19 RISP, didn't get a single one home. Marlins were two for four.
[43] I don't think they really had 19 RISP. They just had 19 RISP batting opportunities.
Still amazing. Or I guess I should say, amazin'.
[38] a portend of things to come.
71 Andy-Mo Wins/Saves
