Use the comments to this entry as your own personal Gameday open thread. These open threads have been fun so far – so I’ll keep ‘em up as long as y’all are interested in having them.
PAPI!!!!!!1 OMG!
SUPER PAPI!!!!!! I LOVE YOU!!!!!
UN FRICKIN BELIEVABLE
YES!
HOLY FREAKING SHIT. HOLY FREAKING SHIT.
18: You have no chance. Make your time.
Gameday, you are so slow.
AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!
WOOOOO HOOOOO!!!!!!
Big Papo is back!!!
Guess who’s back? Back again? PAPI’s back. Tell a friend.
Someone had better post this video later. I so wish I had seen that. OMG Papi…
now THAT was sweet!
(is so damn excited to watch SportsCenter tonight!) My Pac-10 kids loading the bases, and then…WOW. Papi is just the most amazing human being on the face of the earth.
God I love these guys….Tex I hope you got that footage of the mobbing
Yay, Manny! Way to keep it going!
For those who didn’t see: Ortiz got the cold shoulde rat first and then suddenly like a whole mass of players just suddenly mobbed him like he just hit a walkoff HR. It was awesome!
I hope TG gets the video of them giving Papi the cold shoulder and then jumping on him.
Thanks for reminding me about SportsCenter, Steph. Now THAT I can watch later!
oh god jed and jacoby on the bench together! i am DYING here. eee. you rock that one red sleeve, coby. you ROCK it.
Tek had the biggest grin on his face. I love him.
…could somebody get me photographic evidence of those two on the bench together? (has no NESN on her TV)
Is this the first time Ellsbury’s been wearing his signature single red sleeve this season? I haven’t been able to watch NESN in the last 9 days cuz I’ve been out of town.
Awww, I love how Papi’s teammates swarm him in the dugout. Papi’s back!
…okay, kidding, I’m way too obsessed here. (can imagine it)
joy – jacoby did it at least one other time it was warm enough, but this is only the second time i’ve seen him myself. i love that quirk.
Be back shortly. I need to change into comfy eveningwear (Manny shirt over a nightgown, LOL) and fix something to eat. I’m starved.
Argh, don’t make me hungry! I can’t eat very much because I need to be able to get my corset on tomorrow, and that’s hard when you have a full stomach…
A reenactment tomorrow? On what?
c’mon, dice-KKK. rock & fire, baby.
HOLY CRAP JED LOWRIE! EEEEEEE!
Is he not a genius? (Of course he is. He went to Stanford.)
And he’s already laughing, according to the radio. I love that dork.
Starlight – yeah, I’m reenacting. But it’s fun reenacting – we’re playing baseball by 1860s rules! It’s to attract prospective students to the campus.
Nuuuuu, Daisuke.
Steph, how about some oatmeal? Do you have any on hand? That’ll satisfy your hunger without you having to eat a whole lot of it.
Don and Jerry are bored already? They’re looking at bad shirts all over the ballpark.
(has no oatmeal, but has Skittles!) Anything that won’t fill me up completely tonight – I just need to be able to get that thing on in the morning. (It actually moves my organs around and I lose my appetite, so I won’t starve…)
What campus? (If you say Stanford, why won’t I be surprised?)
No, although I wish it was. I’m in Pennsylvania.
Yay Varitek!!
YAY TEK!
Penn State? My best friend got her master’s in writing there. I never did get to visit the campus, but it looked beautiful from the pics she sent.
This is a photograph I took of my campus. Yeah, I’m kind of out in the middle of nowhere…
I wanna play 1860’s style bball. That sounds like it’s gonna rock! What group is organizing it?
I was standing on the battlefield surrounding my campus – I’m at the former Pennsylvania College, now Gettysburg College.
Thats a pretty picture 18.
Oh, our reenacting group on campus (which I’m a member of) set it up – we played once in the fall for Family Weekend, and we liked doing so a lot, so we’re doing it again for the prospective students this weekend! It’s a blast.
Corsets are cruel and unusual punishment, LOL. One of my grandmas was born in 1889 (long generations on that side of the family) and among our family artifacts is an outfit with a whalebone corset that she wore for something when she was a teenager. I can’t even imagine…but I’m sure it does move the internal organs around.
Popcorn, what about popcorn? That’s better than Skittles.
Erin – thanks! We’re really out there, though – there’s not much to do out here…
OOH! I do have popcorn! The vending machine accidentally gave me two bags earlier!
You’ve got a whalebone one? OUCH. Mine’s not whalebone, but…damn.
Jed up! Woohoo!
I love that rolling Pennsylvania farm country. Used to drive through that neck of the woods (not Gettysburg specifically, but have been there once) during my many trips between central NY and The South before I moved down here.
Hey, everybody! I’m just checking in between the 1st and 2nd period of the Devils game. I’ll probably be watching that all night (because if we don’t win it’s our last one), but when it’s over I’ll swing by here.
If anyone wants to watch a really dirty, natsy, and intense hockey game–watch this one between the Devs and Rangers. Marty Brodeur (Devs goalie) has been getting really roughed up all week, and now we’re starting to fight back. Our players have pretty much made it clear that if any of the Rangers even think of touching Marty tonight, then Lundqvist (Ranger’s goalie) will be going home in a stretcher.
…Sorry for the random hockey rant… I really had to get that out…
Jed with the sac fly! YES!
Oh dear god, Casey looked almost as bad as Mirabelli running.
