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!
Hi
heyy everyone!!
I’m finally here for a game! Yaaaay! Hello, everyone!
Also, does anyone besides me think Clay should stand on the mound tonight and perform Don’t Fear the Reaper on his guitar?
Hey howdy…
Steph, how was your birthday?
It was fun except for the whole losing thing. My family was out here! I hadn’t seen them in a month or so, so it was really nice…(Thanks for asking!)
I heard Tito put Jed in the game, though. Thanks, Tito!
Am i the only 1 that hates that olympia sports commercial? the 1 where the lil boy says “uh oh” when he spits into the hat?
And cowbell night? grr, i already have a headache– and im pretty sure thats not gonna help =/
Hey everyone!
Can’t wait to finally be able to see the game tonight!!
Happy belated birthday Steph!
Yeah, losing last night was not fun. I’m glad you enjoyed your family, though.
Cowbells — not fun either. I hope I can hear the play by play over the noise. And I hope our poor sick guys with their stuffed-up heads don’t get headaches from it.
Also, I’m watching Mikey Lowell in Pawtucket, and he’s looking pretty good so far tonight. He’s batting in the three-hole!
(The game is tied 1-1 in the bottom of the third.)
I’ll be here tonight so just buzz me if you need me. I’m doing some serious multitasking tonight with the NFL Draft, the Boston Celtics and seeing if any UConn football players get drafted (there is supposed to be 2).
Damn mutlisport multiteam blog I have.
Steph, you’re the queen of multitasking!
how r u watching the game? is it on tv? or r u watching it online?
Ian and I cross-posted, so let it be known that he is tied with one of my male cousins for the King of Multitasking!
I love Edwin Jackson. I’m really excited for this game. :D
And I’m scorekeeping, too. I finally went out and bought an actual score pad thing so I don’t have to do it digitally like this any more. (That one was one of the exhibition games in Japan… I sort of invented my own scoring method on account of it being 6 AM or whatever.)
the PawSox game FYI, =)
hi everyone, looking foward to a better game tonight…not looking foward to cowbells…
Wow, Liza, that thing is impressive — I’ve never tried to score a game so don’t know how to decipher some of those symbols.
Hi everyone! I’m hoping for a quick game tonight, so that I can watch it all. Have a 4 AM wake up tomorrow. UGH
BTW, happy day late birthday wishes Steph! Glad to hear it was a good day!
Now, let’s see if we can win this one and tell those Rays fans what they can really do with all those damn cowbells! lol
I invented that scoring method :P I couldn’t remember how to do it and I didn’t want to bother looking it up that early in the morning.
If you have Microsoft word, this is how Steve from my blog scores games when he does the recaps.

Yeah, im looking at that– and i have no clue wat the symbols mean! haha.
My scorebook has gone MIA…the last time I saw it was the last game in NY (I just buy a program for home games so I don’t have to lug the book to the ballpark). I need to learn about kidneys though, while watching this and the C’s game (and following the draft) so I don’t really need anything else to do:-P
Did y’all see my MASH cast photo this morning for the Red Sox. It’s on my normal morning Red Sox post.
The PawSox are on Gameday right now at MiLB.com. It’s not letting me link to it, though…sorry!
Bethie – thank you! It was nice, even if all we did was sit in the hotel room and watch TV…
I’ve been trying to find this out for a while, but i’ve had not success–
do any of you know how those people get to catch the foul ground balls an then give them out to the crowd (at fenway)
I love how fast he is.
Nothing like extending your hitting streak right out of the gate.
Hint hint to Pleats
Yeah jacoby! make tito regret not having u in the original lineup!! =P
Come on PLeats!! woo hoo!
Hooray, I didn’t have to post a picture of him in college to make him do something! Nice, Jacoby!
Lindsay they work for the Red Sox game day staff. Most of them have been doing it a long time.
A guy I went to college with does it. It’s a matter of knowing someone.
Pleats! grrr…
Boo to the DP.
Well we just saw Pleats doesn’t have the speed of Ellsbury
hi there.
Glad Tek is back stopping tonight. So far so good tonight.
Last night was a disappointment.
you know what’s hiiarious? he runs at olympic speeds down to 1st, and he’s not even out of breath….if that were me, I’d be bent over coughing….and that’s probably why I’m not a professional baseball player. that, and the inability to connect bat with ball.
Damn cowbells!
(needs to get more ASU pictures up…) FAIL, Dustin.
Meghan- you sound like me I have my finals Monday and have all that to cover though I moved past kidneys and am going over musculoskeletal.
Ian – loved the pic, my mother loved it to she love’d MASH
grrrr cowbells, but i love that remy has one!
Oh geez, they gave RemDawg a cowbell. Shoot me now
Steph – Did you see the pictures I posted earlier from GettyImages?
Ian, now THAT scorecard I can read! I did see your MASH photo, LOL, poor guys.
Bethie, that’s right, you’re heading West tomorrow, correct? Hopefully it will be a COOL night for sleeping for you. Even here it was hot enough today that I had to open the windows — first time this year!
haha, great play!! lol
That might be the strangest infield single you’ll see all year
I’m paranoid about getting the flu now just WATCHING these games.
Okay that was weird. How many people do they want to cover 1st base?? lol
Wow, that was strange.
