    ECL – He is? I’ve seen him listed as high as 6′8″ somewhere – I’m not sure where, but I think it was on SoxProspects.com or somewhere, and since that’s a fan-run site it might not be as reliable as the official site is.

    Thanks for clarifying, Steph. I was wondering how you were watching this game.

  3. 2008 April 23 at 8:49 pm

    Gameday is on MiLB.com, actually. Go to http://www.minorleaguebaseball.com and click, and you can bring up the Gameday program or even the radio.

    One out and Pawtucket wins!

    6′6″…6′8″

    Either way it equals mammoth. Wow.

    I wouldn’t swear to the official site being accurate either! They have Dustin listed at 5-9 and Lugo listed at 6-1. I think they tend to exaggerate or minimize stuff.

  6. 2008 April 23 at 8:51 pm

    Quentin’s on base! Yaaay! (The fact that I only was gawking because they both went to Stanford is very pathetic, though.)

    PAWTUCKET WINS! YES! Tejera finally gets his first win of the season! Nice!

    Yeah, I have a friend who is 6-8 and a coworker who is 6-10. Mammoth pretty well describes them, even though they’re the skinny type and not athletic/muscular.

    Yeah Julio doesn’t look 6-1 to me.

    Thanks for the info!

  9. 2008 April 23 at 8:52 pm

    Not a problem! The game just ended, but there might be some other International League games still going on right now…

    Is he okay? The radio says he’s getting up s-l-o-w-l-y.

    Hopefully Julio’s ankle/foot is alright!

    It’s good to know for future reference anyway.

    That’s gonna leave a mark.

  13. 2008 April 23 at 8:55 pm

    (has her fingers crossed) If Lugo goes down, who would come up? Natale broke his arm…Tony Granadillo, maybe? But he’s down in Portland…I guess we could do that in an emergency if necessary, but let’s hope we don’t have to resort to that.

  14. 2008 April 23 at 8:55 pm

    Seems ok but he popped out.
    That didn’t look like it was that bad.

    Ice pack time.

    C’mon, Jed!

  16. 2008 April 23 at 8:56 pm

    Okay, we need a hit. And this worked for Dustin, so…

    College.

  17. 2008 April 23 at 8:57 pm

    Steph, find more college pictures. Lots of pictures.

  18. 2008 April 23 at 8:57 pm

    Nice, Jed! YES!

    I need to find pictures of everyone in college now. It’s working!

    Steph, start digging up those pics. I think you’re on to something!!! JED!!!

    I love how amazingly good looking our Red Sox… with its few exceptions aka tavs :D

  22. 2008 April 23 at 8:58 pm

    And Jed’s hair looks weird in that one, too. He’s a dork and I love him for that.

    Shoot! I can’t find Cash at Florida State! Nuuuuuu!

    And for the ones who didn’t go to college…minor league pics? Baby pics? They must be floating around somewhere out there!

  24. 2008 April 23 at 9:00 pm

    okay I think we need to find college aged baseball pictures of everybody

  25. 2008 April 23 at 9:01 pm

    (has FAILed) I’d just come across his rookie card, and then he lined out…I dunno if that would’ve worked, though.

    There is the Sox baby album on this very blog, though. And I once found Jed in high school and as a 10-year-old.

    Uh oh…Lopez warming up in the pen.

  27. 2008 April 23 at 9:05 pm

    Hansen: not bad!

  28. 2008 April 23 at 9:06 pm

    Eeeek, have to run to a club meeting in a few. I’ll miss a few minutes of the game…shoot.

  29. 2008 April 23 at 9:06 pm

    Hey, where’s Ian tonight?

    My friend is at the game tonight, 2 rows up from the bull pen. I just told her if they send out Lopez to yell at him that he better bring the A game tonight. :)

    I know I’ve seen a couple of pics of Manny from 1991 or 1992, which would have been college age. Julio went to junior college but I haven’t seen any pics from that far back…found one from 1999 when he was still in the minors and would have been 23. He looked like he was more like 14, it was pretty funny. Papi…I’ve never seen college-aged pics of.

  32. 2008 April 23 at 9:07 pm

    Let’s not sell Lopez short – he’s been pretty good in his last few outings.

    fc, I was wondering the same thing. And TG too.

  35. 2008 April 23 at 9:08 pm

    …Dustin, you okay?

  36. 2008 April 23 at 9:08 pm

    sorry I did my original entry twice

    Okay, could someone who’s watching the game explain how Pedey “falls on his head”?

  38. 2008 April 23 at 9:08 pm

    Alrighty, I’m running off to my club meeting. I’ll be back soon – let’s just get out of this inning, guys!

  39. 2008 April 23 at 9:09 pm

    Uh oh….Pedey fall down. :(

    I like Lopez, just get nervous when they send him out. It’s like hit or miss with him it seems.

    ecl- I want to see young pictures of Papi!!! So badly! Julio, too.

  41. 2008 April 23 at 9:11 pm

    Portland Press Herald is reporting that Justin Masterson is gonna get the start tomorrow afternoon. I swear to god this will be the final time I’m gonna report it. I’d give linkage but it keeps effing up on me

  42. 2008 April 23 at 9:11 pm

    Bethie, bullpen-seats story: mhcranberry had seats over the bullpen last Saturday and Billy the cop took her camera into the pen and got shots of the boys for her. HOW FREAKIN COOL IS THAT?

    OMG!! Are you serious?? My friend would probably shit herself if she knew that. That is awesome!

    Oh crap… bases loaded. :/ Let’s get out of this one, Lopez!!

    Youngest thing I can find for Ortiz is rookie cards. Hmmmm….

    Yay, finally out of that inning. Whew.

  50. 2008 April 23 at 9:17 pm

    Yep. Masterson is getting the start :D I’m happy but I’m also a little pissed off because I’m not gonna be able to watch it. I have to go up to school and finish up my editing/meet up with my group to get their pieces together and to burn it all on a DVD and burn some other stuff and the like. I got a long day…
