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.
Hey everyone!
Maybe it will just be us tonight!
Naaah, no such luck.
I’m here (waving)…sitting here getting all my various ducks in a row to enjoy the game.
AW DANG! :)
giggling at fc.
ecl: Thanks, I’m here all week. Try the veal.
I’ll stay away tonight and leave it to the girls.
Hi!
So apparently Rays fans think this is the most important serires of their season…
GALS, Ian. Gals.
Chicks. Dudettes. Babes. Dames.
Awww, c’mon Ian…you’re good at being one of the girls!
fc: Huh? Try the veal? I’m a little bit brain-dead this evening…I don’t get it… :-(
Lulu- Are they for real? Its only April.
TG: or Ladies!
My apologies. I’ll leave it to the GALS.
What fun would a game thread be without Ian? Not very, I say.
Hola! I’m around…I can’t find my scorebook so I might be writing on here a lot:-P
ecl: Reference to bad standup comics in crummy dives. Or the Catskills.
I’m actually very busy right now.
I’m waiting for the Rangers to officially activate Jarrod Saltalamacchia so that I may pick him up in my AL only fantasy baseball league that doesn’t allow you to pick up guys until they are active.
It’s so bad, I ordered my dinner to be delivered even thoguh the place is 1/4 mile down the road.
Hey everyone! Hope everyone had a great Friday!
Can I just say living in Orlando (for now), you would think that all 3 games would be on TV, right? Not so much – only Saturday’s game :( I don’t get to see my fave pitch Sunday…
I’m here! Sorry to spoil the fun. :)
Am I the only one who’s really excited to see Evan Longoria play?
Aw, that one was far.
Erin-Well, apparently they think this is the series where they can *cough* maybe attempt a sweep or win 2 out of 3 and prove they belong with the Sox and Yanks and Jays. Who knows?
Ah, Jacoby.
Liza- Evan Longoria is on my fantasy team. So I’m happy to see him play tonight.
Danielle- Are the Rays playing a series at Disney’s Wide World of Sports at all this year?
Ha! First ball to land on the catwalk!
Meghan – I have a scorebook, too. It’s much easier to watch the games when you have something to do!
Ian – I’ve held onto Salty in two of my leagues since the beginning of the year, with the dreaded “NA” beside his name.
Liza – Not me! Then again, I have that homerun ball bias.
fc: Aha, Borscht Belt lingo…gotcha! I wasn’t thinkin’.
Hi Hinske!
Got to go out for a bit… see you all in a while
Hinske! Aw, I’ve kinda missed the big teddy bear.
TG – Gaah. I think I’ve told you about a thousand times already that I’m extremely jealous, but I’ll say it again: I AM JEALOUS.
Danielle – Aw, that was bad timing. See you later.
Meghan: They just finished one yesterday against the Jays. It was a little earlier this year.
It’s not a Yahoo league so I can’t even pick him up that way.
We use a stat service you pay for and we have it set up so you can’t pick some one up until he’s active on the stat service site.
So I’ve got windows galore open right now.
Golly, my radio delay seems extra lengthy tonight.
Aw, I’ve missed Hinske too. :) Did he get his ring today?
Did any one else hear that noise in the background on NESN? Or was it just me?
hi everyone (waving)….i’ve missed these the last week, dam sickness, i’d fit right in wouldn’t I
So…tonight instead of wearing one of my player shirts, I’m wearing a shirt that says “Boston Express.” It has to do with a club I used to belong to down here…the purpose of the club being to play a particular card game (likely one unfamiliar to non-Southerners). “Running a Boston” was that game’s equivalent of hitting a grand slam, so I figured wearing it was worth a try…
I freakin’ HATE Carl Crawford. HAAAAAAATE.
I love Upton and Longoria, though. Hinske as well. And Kazmir.
Hi Kristina! Feeling better now, I take it, then?
A triple. Eeiiww.
Holy FUG, Crawford. He’s scary good. :(
Who wins the footrace?
Ellsbury or Crawford
Crawford is a douche, so I’m giving the edge to Jacoby.
So many empty seats :-(
I always forget that Crawford is only 26…he’s been up since he was 20 so it seems like he’s been around long enough to be at least 30.
I must say, Tampa Bay is one of those teams that I know very little about.
Aw shit. Guess I’m gonna learn about them pretty fast, it looks like.
Why is Crawford a douche?
I’m unfortunately very fond of players on AL East teams not called the Yankees–Halladay, Litsch, and Rios from the Jays; Kazmir, Jackson, Crawford, and Longoria from the Rays; and, of course, Millar from the O’s.
“YOOOUUK” in Tampa. I love it.
Speaking of Kazmir, they expect him to come back May 3rd against us! I want him to do well, but he KILLS the Sox so I’m not thrilled about that.
Lots of “Yooooukkk”s haha.
Why IS Crawford a douche? So far as I know, he’s a pretty good person…
WOW, blondie, go easier on the eye makeup next time. (Sorry, that was bitchy.)
