    Yeah, I haven’t found anything older than that on Julio. Haven’t tried w/Papi…yet.

    I think we’re gonna hafta do a hybrid of rookie cards/college pictures

    Bethie, are you basing that on the rookie card? If you search his name on Getty Images…all the way back…you can see a good face shot. He looks even younger.

    Actually, i was talking about the one I found on Getty images. He doesn’t even look legal. LOL

  12. 2008 April 23 at 9:29 pm

    Wakey: adorable at any age.

  13. 2008 April 23 at 9:30 pm

    Back!

    (sees the news about Masterson and passes out)

    LOL — you found the old ones, then. What color shirt is he wearing? The white shirt was 1999 and the dark shirt was 2000. No kidding, he doesn’t look anywhere NEAR legal!

    I’m sad that I’m going to miss Justin’s start tomorrow. I have classes then.

    The Rookie Card page is currently loading very slowly for me, but J.D. definitely was cute! And Youk was almost unrecognizable.

  18. 2008 April 23 at 9:32 pm

    My heart rate just made the most ridiculous jump right now.

    And here I was, projecting Memorial Day weekend for his arrival in Pawtucket! I literally shrieked out, “HOLY FREAKING SHIT!” in my dorm room just now.

    Masterson. Holy crap. I hope we’re not rushing him.

  19. 2008 April 23 at 9:33 pm

    Youk: totally recognizable. EYES.

  20. 2008 April 23 at 9:34 pm

    I’m gonna be singing “Never Gonna Give You Up” all day at school while I’m editing while Masterson is pitching(for those who are liek WTF, it’s a running joke between me and Steph)

  21. 2008 April 23 at 9:35 pm

    (blasts herself some Rick Astley! Yeah!)

  22. 2008 April 23 at 9:35 pm

    Rick Astley?

  23. 2008 April 23 at 9:36 pm

    Piney and I have a theory that Justin Masterson Rick Rolls people. It’s a long, long story.

    Josh’s card — he looks kind of in shock or something!

    Yeah, Casey!

    Nice Rookie Cards! JD is adorable…..But I’m thinking…

    Hellllooooooo Wakefield! WOAH! :)

    I’ve been Rick Rolled about 30 times..
    *sighs*.

    -more w00t!!

  27. 2008 April 23 at 9:38 pm

    JED. YES. See, that’s what playing Rick Astley does!

  28. 2008 April 23 at 9:39 pm

    He’ll get a hit now – watch it.

  29. 2008 April 23 at 9:39 pm

    …or not. Whoops.

    whenever I say “w00t”, the inning ends.
    I should just stop talking all together.
    -sits in corner-

  32. 2008 April 23 at 9:40 pm

    Dammit Jedward! *sigh* I don’t like that they’re leading off with Cash in the 9th but mehh you do what you can. I’m not expecting much from this game to begin with. We’ll get em tomorrow, right? Right. (however if they wanna come back and win this ish, I’m all for it)

    sigh…

    Let’s see…Rookie cards. Coco looks like he’s trying to be a “bad man.” And Papi looks pleasant as always.

  34. 2008 April 23 at 9:40 pm

    We will get ‘em tomorrow, because Justin Masterson is never gonna give us up or let us down.

    Steph, you should have posted another college pic of him.

    Back from your meeting so soon?

  36. 2008 April 23 at 9:41 pm

    It was a really short meeting, and I live really close to the building…the whole thing took about ten minutes or so.

  37. 2008 April 23 at 9:42 pm
    ecl1958 permalink

    Tomorrow’s game will start right around the time I usually eat lunch. Hopefully I can catch the first couple/three innings on Gameday visual, if nothing else.

  38. 2008 April 23 at 9:43 pm

    Craig Hansen will be optioned back to Pawtucket to make room for Masterson, who was scheduled to start Thursday for Portland.

    Those are the good kinds of meetings. Today I had to go to one where a bunch of us were writing a song to “roast” someone in our office who is retiring. Took an HOUR just to get through the preliminary meeting. And we’re meeting at least two more times…all this for a performance that will probably take all of 10 minutes at the farewell party.

    Crap, tomorrow is a day game. I’ll be out shopping for my trip. Ugh.

  41. 2008 April 23 at 9:45 pm

    Craig down? That’s what I thought. I wasn’t sure who they were going to send down, but Craig makes sense…

  42. 2008 April 23 at 9:45 pm

    Actually, hold it – apparently there’s room on the 40-man for him, according to Castig.

    The Yankees are beating the White Sox 3-0 in the middle of the 5th inning. Darn it…

  44. 2008 April 23 at 9:46 pm

    Yes there’s room on the 40-man but you’re only allowed 25 on the active roster.

  45. 2008 April 23 at 9:46 pm

    Ah, right. But they won’t have to designate anyone for assignment to make this move – that’s more where I was going with that.

  46. 2008 April 23 at 9:51 pm

    aw, crap

  47. 2008 April 23 at 9:51 pm

    …whoa, the radio’s talking about Dustin’s “catching” career. I knew about high school, but they mentioned college…

    (goes off to dig up his college stats) I’ll see if he’s ever started at catcher. I can’t see it…but I’ll check anyway.

    Nice, Jacoby!

    Alright….now we gotta pull it out in the bottom of the 9th. No pressure guys. :)
