    No Jacoby =(

    He has a groin problem, but its not serious. I’m sad. But its all good, we got Mikey back! =P

    And we NEED to win this game. the offense needs to get hits tonight!

  2. 2008 April 29 at 7:19 pm

    A little trickery on us huh Texy.

  3. 2008 April 29 at 7:20 pm

    I’m sure there are a few females out there who probably wouldn’t mind taking care of Jacoby’s groin injury

    Way to come back Lester!

  7. 2008 April 29 at 7:21 pm

    Come on Jon boy. First pitch strikes please

  8. 2008 April 29 at 7:22 pm

    Note that the night they rest Jacoby they rest Jed, too. Tito knows to keep the Oregonians together!

    I’m almost relieved Jacoby is out due to that small injury, I wondering why the hell Crisp would be playing instead of him.

    Lowells back!

  10. 2008 April 29 at 7:23 pm

    Jed’s probably not going to see too much action now unless Lugo or Peddie need a day.

    LOL, Ian! For some reason I hadn’t heard about Jacoby’s groin tweak until they read tonight’s lineups on the radio.

    Yeah, that sucks =(

    and they sent brandon moss back down to Pawtucket =( we didnt eve get to see him play! But i wonder what they’re gonna do with Jed. Especially since Cora will be off the DL soon too.

  14. 2008 April 29 at 7:24 pm

    Yeah, his days are numbered up here – I think when Alex is off the DL, he’s back in Pawtucket.

    He and Jacoby have to be kept together at all times because they both play better that way. Hey, when you’ve known someone for ten years or so…

    Well Jacoby told me abt his groin last night ;) lmao jp (obviously..lol)

    yeah, i just found out abt it too on NESN.

    Well now Steph, you wouldn’t wish Jacoby going to Pawtucket, I hope!

  17. 2008 April 29 at 7:26 pm

    Lindsay, Brandon Moss is still up. He’s on the bench. They designated Bryan Corey for assignment.

    hey everyone…..it would be great to get a win tonight…ummm, is anyone else having issues with NESN…

  19. 2008 April 29 at 7:27 pm

    No, I wouldn’t want Jacoby in Pawtucket – he’s needed up here. But Jed’s probably back down (for a little while) when Alex is reactivated.

    …It’s been fun, hasn’t it?

    Hey everyone!

  21. 2008 April 29 at 7:27 pm

    They kept Moss up because they have no backup first baseman or any backup OF’s for tonight’s game.

  22. 2008 April 29 at 7:28 pm
    Lindsay permalink

    Crisp leading off? Uhhh, only Jacoby can do that…lol

    it shouldda been Dusty…but w/e =P

  23. 2008 April 29 at 7:28 pm

    Yes kristina my NESN seems to have a hiccup at times.

    Oh really?? My dad told me they sent Moss down…lol

  25. 2008 April 29 at 7:29 pm

    It it just me, or do all the calls seem to be going against us lately? Have we wronged the wrong people?

    (will resist temptation to make inappropriate sexual innuendo)

  31. 2008 April 29 at 7:30 pm

    Ok I’m watching the game on mlbtv and it hasn’t come back from the break…am I the only one experiencing this?

  33. 2008 April 29 at 7:31 pm

    Coco struck out. Pleats struck out. Big Papi grounded out. that’s what happened.

  34. 2008 April 29 at 7:32 pm
    Lyndsay permalink

    and I don’t think Jacoby ever been sent back to Pawtucket is even a possibiility this season – I think he’s here to stay :-)

  35. 2008 April 29 at 7:32 pm
    Lyndsay permalink

    nope. my NESN still hasnt come back! what the F?

  36. 2008 April 29 at 7:33 pm
    Jade permalink

    IT’S BACK!

  37. 2008 April 29 at 7:33 pm

    He is. Jed’ll be down soon, which was not a day I was looking forward to very much as much as I wanted Mike and Alex to recover quickly, but he’ll be back up in September.

    (And so will Justin Masterson. YES.)

    ahhh here we go…hey wait I thought Vernon Wells was on the DL? dammit I hate that guy – he hits well against us.

    ummm commercial break in the middle of an at-bat? what the F NESN? seriously!!!

  45. 2008 April 29 at 7:35 pm
    Lindsay permalink

    Yeah, i dont know if any of u noticed but on NESN, when they were talking abt Jacoby they showed him, and he was laughing pretty hard, i dont remember seeing him laugh that hard before during a game, maybe because hes more relaxed since hes not playing? or maybe hes just getting more and more comfortable with the guys. All i know is that i wish we saw more of the “happy, fun” Jacoby. =P

    is someone over there drinking heavily right now….whats with commercials in the middle of the inning

  47. 2008 April 29 at 7:35 pm

    y’all must have the NESN on crack feed

  48. 2008 April 29 at 7:35 pm
    Jade permalink

    i guess they’re a certain number of commercials they have to fit in. My God this is annoying though.

  49. 2008 April 29 at 7:36 pm

    That Jacoby is more likely to show up when someone he’s known for ten years (read: Jed Lowrie) is around. I’m convinced that since Jed’s been up Jacoby’s been looser.

  50. 2008 April 29 at 7:37 pm

    I have only had commercials when they are supposed to so far.
