    I’m lovin’ these. I’ll be stopping by between innings, for the most part, because I like to watch the games and my computer’s in the next room. Baseball, yay!

    I won’t be on (much) until maybe the third or fourth inning… but I will be here! I love these threads!

    I’m going to try and be on as much as I since I have a laptop. My mom is going to be watching a movie on the TV in the living room so I’m stuck with the TV in my parents room.

    I just hope the wireless network is good in their room

    These are so much fun!
    The real question is why, when I live in Boston, am I sitting at home watching these games alone?

    Happy Independence Day TexasGal from one Texan to another!!!!

  6. 2008 March 2 at 11:59 am

    Hooray! Right back atcha!

    (for everyone who doesn’t know, all Texans celebrate Texas Independence Day — which is today, March 2nd — and those celebrations tend to involve beer.)

    I’m going to the Texas Exes Independence Day celebration here in Chicago tonight, Tex19.

    WHOA. That was a beautiful curveball from Hernandez. (The one Coco struck out on)

    THEY’RE TALKING ABOUT LOWELL’S FUNDRAISER.

  14. 2008 March 2 at 12:13 pm

    OOh, sounds like they may have a bit of dance-off video!

    I want to see the dances all the way through now.

  29. 2008 March 2 at 12:19 pm

    OMG. Paps’ hips are going to haunt my dreams.

  31. 2008 March 2 at 12:20 pm

    He is waaaay too comfortable in that shirt.

    Trouble oncentrating…

    but, is that a Cubs straw hat on the guy behind home plate? It’s sorta nice.

    I bet impartial judge/mocker Tek wasn’t able to properly do either because his head probably exploded.

    I could watch that dancing all day.

    Yes – and there’s a guy on the lawn in a Cowboys hat. Shoutouts again! :)

    Video is in progress now. I’ll holler when it’s up.

  37. 2008 March 2 at 12:22 pm

    Yes, we need video of the Sox spectators too.

  38. 2008 March 2 at 12:22 pm

    I think we need to start calling Pedroia “Daddy.”

  39. 2008 March 2 at 12:22 pm
    Liza permalink

    I rewound to the Papeldance during the commercial (I love DVR) and paused it right as he picked up the dancer–oh my. He looks like he’s having WAY too much fun.

    The dancing was distracting but props to Papi’s double

    I would love to know what the team thought about the dances.

  42. 2008 March 2 at 12:25 pm

    Agreed, starr4- wish we could have capitalized on that.

  43. 2008 March 2 at 12:25 pm

    Daddy!

    Daddy dives!

  45. 2008 March 2 at 12:26 pm

    Dustin! He’s full of love this weekend!

    Alright Daddy!

    Hooray for Daddy!

    Also, TG, thank you so much for the video in advance–my mom’s crazy about Mikey, but she missed the dancing!

    Don’t think Remy likes Dodgertown much.

    Do you think the whole Daddy thing (which I had rationalized in my mind as a combo of Paps poor spelling and ego as Baddass ) means Pedroia and wife are expecting?

  49. 2008 March 2 at 12:28 pm
    Meg permalink

    Starr-I was wondering that too! Maybe that was his way of announcing it to the team haha.
