    Ian, have I told you I love you recently?

    DP DP, woot.

    Has anyone on the Angels even reached second safely besides the homer?

  3. 2008 April 24 at 3:08 pm

    Choco – Nope!

    MasKKKKerson looked fantastic today. I love him.

  4. 2008 April 24 at 3:08 pm

    Awesome debut for the young sinkerballer

    Nice debut for Masterson! Now bullpen, hold the game for him please.

  6. 2008 April 24 at 3:09 pm

    Nice job, Justin!

  7. 2008 April 24 at 3:09 pm

    I’ll leave the video of the bullpen band for our absent hostess.

  8. 2008 April 24 at 3:10 pm

    Awww, Rick looks like a baby.

    Wow. The Tigers won a game?

    Wow… Justin is AWESOME!!

    I think he’s already married though.

  10. 2008 April 24 at 3:12 pm

    Holy Coco puffs

  11. 2008 April 24 at 3:12 pm

    Nice move by Hunter.

    I wish they’d show all the footage of Rick walking down the tunnel…

    WOW, he gave that one a ride.

    Haha, you know Manny would’ve probably only made a single off of that one.

  13. 2008 April 24 at 3:15 pm

    Choco – Justin’s married, openly very religious, and is on par with Wake and Casey in terms of niceness.

    I see we have similar taste–Jacoby and Justin…

  14. 2008 April 24 at 3:15 pm

    Masterson’s debut:

    6 IP, 2 hits, 1 run, 1 earned, 4 walks, 4 strikeouts, 1 HR allowed, 95 pitches of which 58 were for strikes.

  15. 2008 April 24 at 3:17 pm

    Coco Puffs like stealing third

  16. 2008 April 24 at 3:17 pm
    Liza permalink

    10 groundballs (including one DP), 3 flyballs, 4 Ks (all swinging).

    Coco steals third… again?

  17. 2008 April 24 at 3:20 pm

    Coco sure is making himself valuable today.

    is this on Gameday right now?

  19. 2008 April 24 at 3:22 pm

    i thought every game was on gameday

  20. 2008 April 24 at 3:22 pm

    Oh, LOOGY…

  21. 2008 April 24 at 3:25 pm

    GET BATTERS OUT. If they blow this for Masterson, I’ll be sad.

  22. 2008 April 24 at 3:25 pm

    Nice to see Francona pull the trigger when needed.

    Exactly, fc. I’m sure he’d love to get this W for Masterson.

    Come on, MDC!

    can someone send me the link? I’m a little lost here…

  25. 2008 April 24 at 3:29 pm

    Bootcheck? I know a girl whose last name is Butichek (pronounced, unfortunately, “booty-check”).

    Hey, Bootcheck is up in the bullpen!

    Geez. Please get some people out!

    Okay, I was gone for a couple minutes.

    Liza- Who else do you like? We can compare notes. ;) Justin Masterson is like my dream boy. Since he’s married and I respect that then I want a guy just like him. :)

  28. 2008 April 24 at 3:30 pm

    That is some EPIC chin hair on MDC there. I didn’t notice it before…

    Lyndsay: here you go

  30. 2008 April 24 at 3:32 pm

    Boo. A 1 run game now.

    I come home from school to see bases loaded, nobody out. :[
    but Oki is up!

  32. 2008 April 24 at 3:36 pm

    Choco – Outfielders and pitchers, mainly–on the Sox, Jacoby, Drew, Jed (!), Clay, Justin (!!), Okie, and Pap; from the Sox farm system, Kielty, Moss, Wagner, Jackson, and Bowden; and on other MLB teams, Vladi Guerrero, Roy Halladay, Jesse Litsch, and Huston Street.

    Mostly just Jacoby and Justin, though. (And Street.)

    Back to the game, though, this is kind of horrifying. C’mon, Okieee!

    wait – whats MDC doing in? I thought he came down with the plague too?

  34. 2008 April 24 at 3:37 pm

    Figgins is definitely one batter I would not want in this situation…

  35. 2008 April 24 at 3:38 pm

    NOT HAVING FUN

  36. 2008 April 24 at 3:38 pm

    FUG.

    Lyndsay – He’s better now.

  37. 2008 April 24 at 3:39 pm

    FUG FUG FUG FUG FUG FUG FUG FUG.

    Because Piney’s not here–I totally don’t trust Okie in the clutch…

  38. 2008 April 24 at 3:40 pm

    Vladi, this is the part where you ground out.

    Damn.

  40. 2008 April 24 at 3:41 pm

    …I lied. I thought the bases were already loaded.

    COME ON BULLPEN!

    There you go, Oki. Big K!

  42. 2008 April 24 at 3:43 pm

    OKIEEEE

    Fugging FINALLY.

  43. 2008 April 24 at 3:43 pm

    THANK YOU OKI

    CRAP CRAP CRAP CRAP CRAP!!!!!!!!!

    Favorite Red Sox/ MLB players in general: 1. Jacoby 2. Justin 3. Lowell

    Favorite MLB player that’s never been on the Red Sox: 1. Vlad Guererro 2. Grady Sizemore 3. Jack Hannahan

    Favorite Paw Sox/MiLB players in general: 1. George Kottaras 2. Brandon Moss 3. Junior Spivey

    C’mon guys! Double play maybe? Anything to end this inning…. Ugh.

    this plague is confusing me. MDC misses one game, meanwhile Varitek is apparently on his deathbed still. how long has he been out, like 2 weeks?

  46. 2008 April 24 at 3:46 pm
    Lyndsay permalink

    um…ok i went away for like 2 minutes and they scored FOUR runs???

    Oh crap! I hope Yoouk is okay!!

  49. 2008 April 24 at 3:47 pm

    That looked PAINFUL… both knees, the ankle, and the shoulder?

  50. 2008 April 24 at 3:48 pm

    OUCH
