    wow. so I totally missed alot today

  2. 2008 April 22 at 9:36 pm

    I LOVE OKAJIMA. He’s been my favorite reliever for quite some time now.

  3. 2008 April 22 at 9:37 pm

    OKajima!

  4. 2008 April 22 at 9:37 pm

    me too 18

    I don’t think I’m going out on a limb here and saying that it wasn’t the first multi HR game for a rookie.

    I can say it’s the first multi HR game for Ellsbury though.

    also, it’s pretty apparent that Jacoby is just shoveling the dirt over Coco right now…”you STAY down!”

    and they said he didn’t have any power…

    Is it a bit mean if the radio advertises Just for Men as “the hair color that Tim Wakefield uses?” If you were Wake, would you really want to advertise that you color your hair?

  8. 2008 April 22 at 9:40 pm

    well steph he’s getting paid for it. i dont think he cares. plus he’s 40 something so he’s probably got some gray hair.

    If I were Wake, I would want to advertise I colored my hair to make money from the endorsement.

    And I color my hair; I have more fun as a blonde.

  10. 2008 April 22 at 9:40 pm

    I was just thinking the exact same thing, Steph!

    there’s gotta be a random made-up milestone to go w/ that Jacoby feat – like “only rookie to have two solo HRs in April” or something.

    nj, thanks for the instructions — copying into a Word document so I can remember all this stuff. I’m like a kid in a candy store right now!

  13. 2008 April 22 at 9:41 pm

    Yeah, I guess that’s the only circumstance in which you’d admit to that…I mean, most people I know who color their hair aren’t too keen about talking about it, though.

    Oh, look, Youk dodged a pitch.

    awwww Jacoby’s eating his ice cream sammich again :-)

  15. 2008 April 22 at 9:42 pm

    Jacoby has an ice cream sandwich? So are the rookies getting the Little League treatment and getting ice cream now? (No cleats in the parlor!)

    Is “eating his ice cream sandwich” a euphemism for something else?

    do you think Bonds refers to himself in the third person when he’s babysitting? I bet he has no patience either. “come on kids, Barry’s tired. getcha PJs on, okay? brush ya TEETH! brush ya TEETH! I’m gon’ knock one a yall the fuck out!!!”

  18. 2008 April 22 at 9:46 pm

    You’re Welcome, ecl. I’m glad you’re having so much fun!

  19. 2008 April 22 at 9:47 pm

    Oh, because I’m a total loser – Happy Earth Day!

    (Is it wrong if I occasionally fantasize about Jed in that marching band uniform with the fishing hat? I love that uniform so much…)

    WAH! Hubs took the XM radio tonight and mine doesn’t fit the home unit. I’m watching game day. Who got the error?

    explanation: in a game I watched last week, Jacoby ate an ice cream sandwich in the dugout between innings. tonight, he is eating an ice cream sandwich again in between innings. unless it’s a power bar or something. but I think it’s cute to think that he’d be eating ice cream.

    (no, there are no restraining orders against me yet…why do you ask?)

    Sean Casey’s posture bugs me – stand up STRAIGHT!

    A baseball player, eating ice cream?!

  24. 2008 April 22 at 9:49 pm

    Lyndsay, if anybody here gets a restraining order against them, it’ll probably be me. Trust me on this.

  25. 2008 April 22 at 9:49 pm

    Lifelong, if you have an XM subscription, you can listen here.

  26. 2008 April 22 at 9:49 pm

    E2 – cash tried to sneak a throw behind a runner at second and it skittered into centerfield so both runners moved up, and then oki stranded them there.

    Hey Steph, there’s your guy!

  31. 2008 April 22 at 9:50 pm

    So glad I didn’t miss him! (has had her already good mood squared)

  32. 2008 April 22 at 9:51 pm

    Sean Casey’s “hit” is being ruled as a ground rule double, apparently. Hmmm.

    I don’t like the guy from Jordan’s just popping up on my screen like that, no warning…

  34. 2008 April 22 at 9:51 pm

    and of course there was this little incident involving ice cream

    Ahh, the Herald. I only buy it because I can finish it in the time it takes to get from my old apartment to the gym.

    can I just mention that I am going to the game tomorrow night and sitting in the RIGHT FIELD BOX.

    you’ll recognize me as the girl that shrieks and covers her face any time a foul ball gets hit remotely near my section.

    I promise you though that I can’t embarrass myself by impulsively yell “Jacoby! JACOBY!” because I’ll be with my dad, and you can’t be a super girly fangirl with a crush on a player when you’re watching the game with your dad.

    Lyndsay, you can’t be a fangirl when at a game with your dad? My dad fangirls.
