Tonight's game is a rematch of the highly anticipated matchup between the 2009 Cy Young, Tim Lincecum, and the favorite to win the award in 2010, Roy Halladay.
Neither pitcher was on his game in Game 1, with Lincecum slightly out-dueling Halladay:
Lincecum: 7 IP, 6 H, 3 ER, 3 BB, 8 K
Halladay: 7 IP, 8 H, 4 ER, 0 BB, 7 K
With Halladay trying to prevent elimination for his team and Lincecum trying to pitch his team to the World Series, tonight should be the pitcher's duel we all expected in Game 1 - perhaps even better than expected
I think the final score to be 1-0, but who wins? I don't know.

Supah freak! Supah freak!!!
...too much?
Bruins on the big TV, baseball on the little TV. But that'll only be for the first half of the game. Bruins are done around 9:30.
My mother once told me she doesn't like having two TVs in the living room. I told her "IT IS STAYING."
did zen go to yesterday's game or is it tonight?
I'm not sure. I didn't know he was going to one.
maybe he was just trying to go, i think it was game 4.
a sox-jays alcs at skydome would be cool -- i will not hold my breath, however.
I wouldn't either. Long way from that happening, methinks.
F the bunt
ex-sock knock
First inning struggles for Mr. Halladay, eh?
wow - way outside to posey.
1-0.
So far so good for my prediction...
I didn't think the one run was going to come in the first inning, though.
next time burrell is up, if there are 2 outs and no one on, he maybe should not dig in.
No plans to go to any games. We've been a little busy with disaster. Despite that, we're resting comfortably in a hotel, dealing with things and now watching the game. Here's my Facebook update for yesterday:
Massive fire in the building next door just before 5AM. I was lying half awake so I know how quickly it spread -- from zero to run for your life in about three minutes. Tia, the cat, and I all made it out fine, and no one was killed in the whole incident. We've been back in the apartment twice. It is blasted with water... and smoke damage, but most of our stuff still exists even if it smells like smoke. Who knows if we'll ever move back in. Civic, professional, and friend support has been amazing. My takeaways are: be grateful for life, and buy a shitload of insurance (we did).
Wow, Zen. That is terrible, I'm so glad you guys made it out safe. Fires are one of the scariest things to think about because they can happen at anytime.
damn - glad every one is okay. that is some scary shit.
Thanks guys. Water went downhill and through two buildings, and flooded The Bar. They hope to open tomorrow.
Wow, that was foul ball.
Zen, first your home then the bar? Insult to injury, man!
fuckin bizarro inning
Whoa. Where did Tim Lincecum go?
Yeah. I mean, you can't blame this whole thing on Lincecum but he's still throwing the pitches and giving up hits now. What a shitty inning.
i was going to say before the game that it seemed like the talk of blown calls has lessened. and i was wondering if that was true. and now we have a shitty call to kick-start this inning
Replay, challenges... they NEED to happen!
L also says glad you are okay and good luck with everything. and go giants.
There have been blown calls but they haven't been in key points of the game. But there was the issue back in Philly of Utley being awarded first base when he didn't get hit, then caught stealing but was called safe, then was coming home and may not have stepped on third base...?
Then in Game 4 in the ALCS Swisher got hit on the leg but was it wasn't called.
"right back thru the originator"
????
LOL wut? Haha
Thanks to L. My wife is febreezing smoke stinking possessions.
Hmm. Here come the Giants?
Here come the Giants!
And there go the Giants...
bad cody.
I wouldn't mind having Werth's arm on the Red Sox...
Bruins game just ended. They look amazing this season. This could be our year.
Just heard from a Maple Leafs/Jays fan on Twitter that John Farrell's going to be getting the Jays manager job...
Old Hickory tweeted earlier today: "Three GMs today insisted John Farrell will get the Toronto job. The final list was the product of exhaustive, thoughtful due diligence."
Article here.
wish they had hired bogar instead.
Didn't care so much about Brad Mills leaving, but I'll be pissed to see Farrell go.
lincecum setting down the phils - time to get some runs, giants
ah - posey is like jeter
"the way he carries himself"
wow - balls 3 and 4 REALLY close
I like the Johnny Bench comparison better.
Contreras still strikes me as a starter, but he's a reliever. It's confusing.
i saw posey interviewed after the win last night and actually said he was sort of like jeter -- says absolutely nothing but empty bland cliches.
i still see him as a pinata for the sox.
panda time
Here come the Giants!
mccarver: "panda finds a hole"
that sounds rude.
RAMRAM sighting
Plus side to the Giants being in the postseason: Being able to say Ram-Ram again.
Holy shit, we got a thread going here! I really have to shut off the email notification, phones been buzzing off the hook all night like I'm some sort of important employee somewhere.
You should have listened to the play-by-play of the Bruins game. There are a TON of descriptions of plays that are dripping with innuendo.
Damn. If I had known that, Tim, I'd have spammed my own game thread!
...and there go the Giants. :\
Bruins are looking fucking great so far, except the first game.
Damn Zen, that is a scary story. Glad to hear everyone is doing OK and safe...possessions can be replaced, family members, not so much.
saswo
swinging at shit way outside
Sass-WHOA
hold 'em here, i am feeling a giant dong next inning.
(i.e., i will have my hand down my pants, jimy-style.)
ha, i was thinking that if i ever need to appear "important", i should just subscribe to a game thread. make it seem like a ton of work emails are coming in or something.
hmm...maybe i'll do that for future family functions. then i up and leave at any time due to "work"
dp pls on "ross blowing his gload"
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
L3-DFP!
wow, fine D.
Break some more shit, Gload!
That dude's got some anger issues.
"Hide the trash cans!" Okay, Joe, that was pretty funny.
What the fuck is THIS!!!
Bring back Zooey Deschanel!
now THAT is a hat
First a TRASHED Steven Tyler doing the National Anthem at the Bruins game, and then this???
what in the blue fuck?
nice try, rollins
Rollins just quit on that, weird.
more red sox redux. romero.
shit luck for the jints
So much for feeling your giant dong...
I should have made a list of ex-Red Sox in the postseason for this year. Maybe I still could.
no, i'm feeling it...
tmi
fuck it, sleep time. longest day ever.
party boat! looks like fun.
Only series to not have any ex-Sox play was MFY/MIN
Runs, Giants! Runs!
2+ runs + shoe polish save = pennant
16 ex-Red Sox have played in this postseason.
Orlando Cabrera
Bronson Arroyo
J.C. Romero
Alex Gonzalez
Derek Lowe
Eric Hinske
Billy Wagner
Freddy Sanchez
Ramon Ramirez
Javier Lopez
Edgar Renteria
Darren Oliver
David Murphy
Rocco Baldelli
Kelly Shoppach
Carlos Pena
...no Yankees were ex-Sox, for the first time in forever (or so it seems)
madson dealing - day-yum.
ramram in.
I missed most of that inning counting ex-Sox. Oops.
bambam off ramram
Well fuck.
I'd love to have his bat on our team, too.
ramram looks like he has no neckneck
Last licks.
The Panda moves around really well for, well, a Panda. Amazing that he's a third baseman.
so pennants will be won in game 6s.
Yep.
Much better thread tonight!
YED tomorrow!
