    Hey guys, kinda new here – quick question: where does Tek throw the ball after someone strikes out?

    Usually they just throw it to the mound

    And yeah. my commercials have been fine too.

  5. 2008 April 29 at 7:42 pm

    To third base. They throw it around the horn to keep their arms loose

  6. 2008 April 29 at 7:43 pm

    ECL, I lost the site for a moment, too! It’s back now, but…

  7. 2008 April 29 at 7:43 pm

    I should add, it gets thrown to the mound when a runner is on base. and yes ecl, it appeared the NESN on crack feed affected the site for a minute or two.

    @Emily – He will throw it to 3rd (MiKEY !!!) if no one is on base. as a celebration and to keep the infielders warm

    Real fans don’t need cowbells to cheer on their teams.

    Hi All!

    Great to have Lowell back, hope Jacoby will be back soon.

  23. 2008 April 29 at 7:48 pm

    (is keeping up with the PawSox now) I wish I could’ve seen Mikey in Pawtucket – he sounded pretty good, from what I read.

    (PawSox currently up 3-0 in the bottom of the fifth against Rochester.)

    There seems to be more loud crowd noises on NESN tonight. It’s weird with the surround sound because I can hear them behind me.

  26. 2008 April 29 at 7:49 pm

    steph, mostly it was just great to see him in so intimate a setting. ;D

  27. 2008 April 29 at 7:49 pm
    Lindsay permalink

    Yes, it is great to see Mikey again. And i really hope that Jacoby’s groin doesnt get serious. that would be terrible!

  28. 2008 April 29 at 7:49 pm

    …I need to get to Pawtucket. Especially since Jed will be there again soon.

    My guess is Ortiz is next in line to steal.

  41. 2008 April 29 at 7:52 pm

    Michael Tejera at 66 pitches through five in Pawtucket. Not bad.

  42. 2008 April 29 at 7:52 pm
    Lindsay permalink

    Ortiz has a stolen base on the season too i believe..haha

    Why isn’t Lowrie playing tonight? Crisp AND Lugo…sigh

  44. 2008 April 29 at 7:54 pm

    Jed is not playing because Jacoby is not playing. Oregonian Synergy.

    Okay, that’s a total crack theory. Sorry…!

  45. 2008 April 29 at 7:54 pm

    Hey guys–can’t be on, but I just want to say:

    A. YAY MIKEY’S BACK!

    B. Youk? Stealing? What?

    C. I’m going to Fenway–tomorrow! I’m psyched. We have great seats, too. Third base line, baby! Daisuke vs McGowan… :D

    D. Oh man. That Eckstein. He is just so… SCRAPPY.
