    MASTERSON MASTERSON MASTERSON MASTERSON

    YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

    My baby prospect is making his debut! :D

    I mean, uh, hi everyone! I’ve been in NYC since Saturday. What’ve I missed?

    Also, Halladay has another complete game. Wow.

    Hey everyone!
    My fave news of the day: Commander Kickass pitched his bullpen session and should be back to his slot in the rotation on Sunday!!

    That’s great news about Beckett!

    I hope that Masterson has a fantastic debut.

    Also the “cursed” Ortiz jersey from Yankee Stadium went for $175,100 to the Jimmy Fund on ebay

  7. 2008 April 24 at 1:32 pm

    Hi Heather! Despite what it seems, I’m usually sane.

    MASTERSON MONTAGE!

  8. 2008 April 24 at 1:34 pm

    Hi all. I’m home, sick with what I’d like to think is the Red Sox Flu. On the plus side, I get to watch the game.

    Hey Heather! I’m really new here too. I love this blog, though.

    I LOVE JUSTIN MASTERSON!!! He’s so freaking awesome. Does he have a nickname yet?

    Hi Heather!

    fc, it’s too bad you’re sick, but it’s great you can watch the game.

    Crisp is back in CF

  14. 2008 April 24 at 1:40 pm

    And just as I say that, he walks…

    Keeping the box for this game :)

  15. 2008 April 24 at 1:40 pm

    anyone else having audio issues? that just got corrected lol

  16. 2008 April 24 at 1:41 pm

    Hazel Mae did a nice piece on Masterson in the pre-game show as well

  17. 2008 April 24 at 1:42 pm

    Nice 1st for Masterson.

    fc – me too! I’m choosing to think my cold is a Red Sox fan and wants me to watch the ballgame today.

  19. 2008 April 24 at 1:46 pm

    Papi bunting?

    Hey all…just going to be here full-time for a half hour or so while I eat lunch, then will try to check in sporadically.

    Get well wishes to fc and Abby, although you’re lucky enough to watch the game.

    Welcome, Heather! We have lots of fun around here.

  21. 2008 April 24 at 1:48 pm

    I love every single NESN HD commercial they show.

    Thanks, ecl. Hopefully they’ll do some good things while you’re on lunch break.

    Hey, if I can see once through the lineup it’ll be a nice way to enjoy my lunch, then I can catch up this evening via Gameday Archive.

    The Paw Sox just tied up their game 2-2 by the way…

  25. 2008 April 24 at 1:57 pm

    MastersonKK.

    Unfortunately, also MastersonBB.

    He’s living up to his groundball-flyball expectation, though; 3 groundouts and a flyball through 2.

    LOL…this is pretty funny. I’m sitting in my cubicle so have to silently whisper encouragement to our guys!

  27. 2008 April 24 at 1:59 pm

    That was pathetic.

    Yeah Manny!

    ecl1958 permalink

    I can’t see, Liza. What was pathetic?

  29. 2008 April 24 at 2:00 pm

    YOu can’t blame the fielders on that one. The wind totally took that ball

  30. 2008 April 24 at 2:02 pm

    I’m not blaming the fielders, I’m musing on how screwy the wind and sun can make pop-ups. (It’s really hard to get tone across online, heh.)

    And the Greek Romanian God of Walks does what he does best…

  31. 2008 April 24 at 2:03 pm

    I love how Jed’s hitting .350.

    Hi All!

    :: waves ::

    I wish I could watch the game. My day is so insane, I doubt I’ll catch much via GameDay.

  33. 2008 April 24 at 2:04 pm

    Yes! Go Jed! I love our baby switch-hitter.

  34. 2008 April 24 at 2:04 pm

    And another hit from Jeb. Poor Steph having to miss the game with Jeb playing plus her favorite pitching prospect on the mound.

  35. 2008 April 24 at 2:05 pm
    ecl1958 permalink

    Me too, Liza. I didn’t want to post this earlier and jinx…but I had a strong feeling he was going to get a hit there.

  36. 2008 April 24 at 2:05 pm

    C’mon, Julio, make something happen.

  37. 2008 April 24 at 2:05 pm

    I don’t trust our guys in the clutch. ;-)

    Let’s go Julio…

  39. 2008 April 24 at 2:06 pm

    Jeb’s now hit safely in all 6 starts he’s made for the Sox.

  40. 2008 April 24 at 2:06 pm

    Poor Steph, indeed.

    Happy Liza, though. :)

    Aw, Lugie.

  41. 2008 April 24 at 2:06 pm

    Lugo DID NOT look good in that at-bat.

    Don’t get me wrong- I like Kevin Cash and all, but I really really miss Tek!

  46. 2008 April 24 at 2:12 pm

    Oh, Cashie.

    ecl1958 permalink

    Well, one run is better than none.

  48. 2008 April 24 at 2:18 pm

    Ya gotta love these guys talking about Don Orsillo losing his cubicle to an intern.

  49. 2008 April 24 at 2:19 pm
    choco permalink

    Yeah, and the sharpie :P

  50. 2008 April 24 at 2:19 pm

    As we all know from earlier in the month, I adore pitches that move… (cough cough Jesse Litsch)

    Whoa, Vladi, don’t fall over now.
