    Just stopping in to say hi. Not sure if I’ll get back. It’s radio show night.

  2. 2008 April 30 at 7:01 pm

    After the thriller at Fenway last night, I’m spending tonight nice and warm and dry at home.

  3. 2008 April 30 at 7:02 pm

    Hello everybody. How are you all today?

    heyy. Jacoby and Drew are out of the lineup again. And Dustin pulled his shoulder out of his socket last night making that catch, but hes fine now and playing.

    Sorry if I don’t comment as much tonight – I’m writing an Antony and Cleopatra paper due Friday…

    (Ooh, sweet! PawSox won! Niiiice.)

    Also, nice to see Sunbeam in the lineup…I’m worried about J.D., of course, but Brandon’s here for a reason!

    Yea, and in the blog that i read, they were talking abt how theo must be happy that he sent Corey down and not Moss! we’d be screwed! lol.

    They also said that Jacoby groin is still a little sore, but hes fine. But they dont wanna push it. But i hope he plays tomorrow, cus i’ll be at the game ;)

  10. 2008 April 30 at 7:09 pm

    I saw Tito quoted as calling him “Mossy.” Hadn’t heard that before. I like it.

    Yea, i saw that too! haha.

    and whats up with all the empty seats behind homeplate? i believe that if ur paying that much money for a game, you should be there for the ENTIRE game! lol.

    DICE KK!!

  12. 2008 April 30 at 7:11 pm

  14. 2008 April 30 at 7:11 pm

    (whistles) Good job, Daisuke!

  15. 2008 April 30 at 7:12 pm

    They could be running late, Lindsay. But regardless, they shouldn’t be.

  16. 2008 April 30 at 7:12 pm
    Lindsay permalink

    When we do the DICE K thing, so we keep the original K and then at the K’s for each strikeout? or does hte original K count as a strikeout? lol. like right now, would it be DICE K or DICE KK??

    Hi all! Just walked in the door — first thing I did was get my audio/Gameday running. Now it’s time to unload two weeks worth of groceries and grab some dinner. Will be here off and on this evening…

    I was thinking that too 1863. Dustin vs. Dustin. lol. but our Dustin lost the battle =(

  24. 2008 April 30 at 7:15 pm

    YOOOOOOOOOUUUUUUKKKKKKK

  34. 2008 April 30 at 7:23 pm

    Youk: That was a message for Trish. ;)

  35. 2008 April 30 at 7:26 pm

    (briefly messes around with a fictional person’s Livejournal layout) …yeah, I know I’m a loser…

    Nice to have Youk back over at first, isn’t it?

  36. 2008 April 30 at 7:28 pm
    Lindsay permalink

    Do any of you know why Trish hates Youk so much??

  37. 2008 April 30 at 7:29 pm

    Yay, Manny!

    Lindsay, I was wondering the same thing. She seems to really, really despise him.

  39. 2008 April 30 at 7:38 pm

    Pedey! Easy with that shoulder, buddy!

  40. 2008 April 30 at 7:38 pm

    …Dustin is amazing. We need to clone him.

  41. 2008 April 30 at 7:39 pm
    ecl1958 permalink

    Sounds like that must have been quite a catch.

  42. 2008 April 30 at 7:39 pm

    Steph, at this rate we should clone him for spare parts.

  43. 2008 April 30 at 7:40 pm
    Lindsay permalink

    Dustin is amazing, like Rem Dawg said – if theres a ball he can catch, he’ll make sure that he catches it.

  44. 2008 April 30 at 7:40 pm
    Lindsay permalink

    I would say “except make the clone a little taller” but i like the fact that Pleats is short. =P lol.

  45. 2008 April 30 at 7:41 pm

    I love that Dustin’s short. It makes me feel better about being short (I’m 5′2″).

  46. 2008 April 30 at 7:41 pm
    kristina permalink

    oh pleats, he’s just awesome!

    Am i the only one that loved Rios’ little mohawk? Its gone now, but he had it during the last series- and its so cute! haha.

    Yeah, it definately says not for public use, but w/e- its the only 1 i could find…lol

    Hey guys, just turned on the game – did I miss anything exciting?

  49. 2008 April 30 at 7:45 pm

    A couple of good defensive plays from Youk and Dustin, but otherwise not too much…

  50. 2008 April 30 at 7:45 pm

    Jessi, you missed what may turn out to be the last visual/audio from the dugout that NESN ever broadcasts without a ‘Beckett delay.’
