    Kottaras only barely doesn’t make my list–

    OKI-DOKI!

    K!

    Please be ok Youk, please be ok.

    What went on with Youk?

  5. 2008 April 24 at 3:52 pm

    Youk was chasing a foul over to the stands and ran into the tarp hard, and went down. Much grimacing but we know that doesn’t necessarily mean anything.

  6. 2008 April 24 at 3:53 pm

    Well I’m glad that inning is over.

  7. 2008 April 24 at 3:54 pm

    YES.

    As I was saying, Kottaras only barely didn’t make my list, and while I’ll heartily disagree on Sizemore (he seriously bugs me for no reason at all), it does seem we have really similar taste, haha.

    Poor Youk! Yeah, I know, he’s quite the actor…

    I still want Coco to go. he’s like this nagging presence for me.

    whew. That was horrible, but could’ve been a lot worse.

    Come on bats!

    Yeah I also really love J.D. Drew and Pap.

    Lots of times, I can’t even explain why I like/don’t like a player. Like right when I saw Jacoby, I just knew I loved him. Same with Justin, Vlad, George K., and (quite a while ago) my first favorite player, Johnny Damon…

  12. 2008 April 24 at 4:02 pm

    Damon was my very very favorite… right up until the day he signed with the Yankees. Sigh. I can’t stand the sight of him now, but I can’t stand to throw away my old #18 shirt, either.

    Nice job working the count, Manny… let’s get something out of it, huh?

    That was cool! :) Hopefully they’re not hurt…

  14. 2008 April 24 at 4:03 pm

    Holy fug! SMASH.

    I feel bad for Matthews’ knees right now.

    Thank you Manny, for putting a smile on my face!

  16. 2008 April 24 at 4:07 pm

    I am starting to like these Red Sox Nation commercials more and more. Even though the commercial concept still bugs me a little.

  17. 2008 April 24 at 4:07 pm

    A-A-R-D-V-A-R-K!

    (Did you guys miss that? Thought not.)

    Yeah I loved Damon. He’s actually the reason I started watching baseball. I think they were playing the Yankees and he made this catch and flipped over or something, and I just thought it was so funny. And so it began… Whenever I see him now I kinda just want to start crying about it. But yeah, once he left, Coco took CF and I didn’t really like Coco very much just because I didn’t like seeing anyone there besides Johnny, but I do like Coco now. But then came Jacoby…

    Kinda funny they’re both leadoff hitters, CF, 6 letters in their first name and starts with a J and ends with a Y. It’s my type.

    Yeah I like those RSN commercials…

  20. 2008 April 24 at 4:11 pm

    Did you know Jacoby dressed up as Damon when the former was in college and the latter with the Sox? That just cracks me up. (Hopefully, Jacoby will have better sense in the long term, though.)

    Aw, Jed…

  21. 2008 April 24 at 4:12 pm

    This is what my friend did to her to Demon jersey.

    Yeah, I heard about that. :P

  23. 2008 April 24 at 4:18 pm

    aw crap

  24. 2008 April 24 at 4:18 pm

    @#$%^&*() bullpen

  25. 2008 April 24 at 4:19 pm

    Pedie’s so angry, he looks confused.

    I agree with Don, it looks like he got the knee there.

    Ian, perhaps it should be: Bullpen. FAIL. (since Steph’s not here to say it.

  27. 2008 April 24 at 4:24 pm

    Ecl: here.

    LOL! Thanks, Liza…you just made me laugh through my (invisible) tears.

    What’s the matter with our guys today? :-(

  29. 2008 April 24 at 4:30 pm

    Nah, I’m sticking with @#$%^&*() bullpen cept for OKI

  30. 2008 April 24 at 4:31 pm

    Masterson stole the awesome from the middle relief. Let’s hope Tavarez still has all his awesome.

  31. 2008 April 24 at 4:31 pm

    Nice throw Cash. I mean way to hold onto the ball when someone’s stealing second.

  32. 2008 April 24 at 4:32 pm

    Lowrie/YouK nice!

  33. 2008 April 24 at 4:32 pm

    Jed made up for Cash’s nonexistent throw.

  34. 2008 April 24 at 4:32 pm

    Nice diving stop by JEB there and a nice tag by Youk

  35. 2008 April 24 at 4:36 pm

    C’mon Batshit. Use that shadow to your advantage.

  36. 2008 April 24 at 4:36 pm

    forget this breaking shit Yo-Yo, just throw the ball over the plate and let your defense do the work.

  37. 2008 April 24 at 4:36 pm

    I hate baseball.

    Cash/Ellsbury/Pleats
    What do you think is going to happen?

  39. 2008 April 24 at 4:38 pm

    I’m going with

    Tek/Ellsbury/Pleats

    and it’s going to go strikeout, ground out, ground out.

  40. 2008 April 24 at 4:38 pm

    Okay, bats. Cash, Jacoby, and Pedie expected…

  41. 2008 April 24 at 4:41 pm

    well i was right about a PH, just the wrong guy.

  42. 2008 April 24 at 4:41 pm

    Always the optimist, Ian.

    Casey, not Tek. Huh. If this goes to extra innings, I’m guessing they’ll move Youk to third and either take Jed out or move him to short?

  43. 2008 April 24 at 4:42 pm

    got the strikeout part right though :D

  44. 2008 April 24 at 4:42 pm

    Bye bye Sean.

  45. 2008 April 24 at 4:44 pm

    It’s the reverse psychology thing.

  46. 2008 April 24 at 4:44 pm

    Good job Jacoby!

  47. 2008 April 24 at 4:44 pm

    Pleatsssssssssssssssssssss

    Yay Jacoby!

  49. 2008 April 24 at 4:45 pm

    C’mon Papiiiiii

  50. 2008 April 24 at 4:45 pm

    And i got the pedroia guess right as well. 1 1/2 out of 3 is .500
