Use the comments to this entry as your own personal Gameday open thread. These open threads have been fun so far – so I’ll keep ‘em up as long as y’all are interested in having them.






I can tell I’ve got a radio delay going here…
Nice! Out of the inning without giving up a run!
(Currently getting up some pictures of Jacoby as a Beaver just to be fair because I’ve posted Dustin as a Sun Devil already tonight…)
Jacoby at Ye Olde Oregon State University:
Bethie, I’m reasonably sure that Lugo is NOT 6-1. He doesn’t look anywhere near that when he stands next to Papi. I would guess 5-10 or 5-11. Maybe some more seasoned fans would know the scoop.
Nice Casey! How sweet is it that our bench players are so good?
Niiiiiccceeee! Thanks, Steph.
Not a problem – I’ve got more, if you want. I can link to them…
YAY SEAN.
Okay, I’m a n00b here- is 1863_Project Steph?
Jacoby’s so cute :)
I remember telling my sister (who lives in Oregon and has actually been to Madras!) about Jacoby during the playoffs last year. Unfortunately, at that point, being a NY native like me, she “couldn’t get past the rivalry” to get excited about the Sox. I wonder if she’d reconsider? There’s so much Pac-10 goodness and Oregon amazingness going on here, and the entire state has to be proud, I would think.
…oh, I think everyone needs to see this, because Jacoby seems a little less loose now. That’s not to say he’s all stiff and serious, because I know he’s not, but this is something I’ve never seen him do outside of this picture…
awww – we didn’t need that.
Dammit…
Darn it! Matthews is too good, and too good agst. Jon tonight.
What a wonderfully silly pic, Steph!
choco – yes, I’m Steph.
Lester – you need to stop doing that, okay? You looked great last inning – let’s see more of that.
ECL – I love the sheer Oregonianness of this team now. We have Jacoby, Jed and Pesky. ‘Nuff said. (One of my new goals in life is to go to Oregon, just because.)
Steph, I haven’t been out there yet (she moved there two years ago) because I can’t afford it, but from all the pics I’ve seen and everything she’s told me…it’s an AWESOME place.
Nice DP!
I know I want to go to Oregon too!
Aside from it being absolutely beautiful (and being the final destination of one of my favorite old school computer games), one of my other motives includes, well, this kid from Salem…
MLBtv is giving me a fit again. I think It’s punishing me for being on a plane this Sunday and missing Beckett’s start. Evil I tell you!
Did you follow Jed in Pawtucket, too? Or was it love at first sight when he came up to Boston?
YEAH DUSTIN!!!
YES!!! BIG PAPI!!!!!
PAPI DOES IT!!
*ala Poltergeist* He’s baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack
Ooh…now Dustin all dirrrtttyyy.. he he
YAY PAPI!!!
papi!
I’ve been following Jed since he was down in the Minors – and in the Arizona Fall League last season, too. And when most people were worrying about Jacoby being traded, Jed was the one I panicked about.
PAPI! EFFING A!
Let’s go back to back!
YEEEE HAAAAAAAHHHH! Woo hoo…can’t wait to watch the replay!
Papi & Coco: adorable.
Manny, I’m not wearing your shirt tonight, but (beg plead beg plead)
Walks are good. I’ll take it. C’mon, JD!
…or not. Oh, well, tie game!
Just got into my hotel room. Noticed that other people were having issues with mlb.tv. Is anyone getting it to work now? It said that I was in an black out area, which I know I’m not because I’m in Chicago! Grrr….
Btw, with that HR, Papi now has as many HRs as Ellsbury. Heehee, it was fun to say yesterday that Ellsbury had more HRs than Papi. =)
That’s really cool, Steph. These people I used to go to church with give my family Paw Sox tickets and it’s 5 rows above the dugout, so I see a lot of the guys coming up. My favorite is George Kottaras! :)
HANSEN! Class of ‘05!
Papi is back!! I got distracted by Celtics games there for a bit.
Steph, I love all your pics you posted!
I like George! He actually homered today – I’ve got the PawSox game up on Gameday as I listen to the big club. They’re up 3-1 in the top of the ninth!
And now ladies and gemntlemen, heeerrre’s Mouthy Breather!
And as a sleep impaired person, I say that with love.
wow, Hansen is kind of huge..
Danielle – aww, thanks! I wish I could say I actually took them…I just found them on the internet.
B&W: Craig’s listed at roughly 6′7″-6′8″. Yeah, he’s tall.
That should have been “Mouth” not “Mouthy.”
Wait…Mouthbreather to me is Lenny DiNardo(long story behind this one). I think of Hansen as “Apnea-Free Hansen”
Is it wrong that I’m mindlessly staring at my TV right now just because both the pitcher and the batter went to Stanford?
Damnit, Craig!
Okay, it’s official!!
THAT IS ENOUGH ANGELS HOME RUNS!!!
Dammit.
Not again…
Steph, he’s listed at 6-6, 230 on MLB.com.
(To clarify, I’m watching Mussina pitch against Carlos Quentin.)
tall guys = awesome
homeruns = not so awesome
eventually I’ll have to get my pictures uploaded from spring training and when I do Im sure you’ll enjoy some- though I dont know if I have any good ones of Jed :(.
Awesome! Where do you get gameday for PawSox? Is it on their website?!
