    I don’t think that really mattered last night for the C’s. They simply got outplayed last night.

    They’ll bounce back big tomorrow night don’t you worry.

  2. 2008 April 27 at 2:00 pm

    Whoa – the radio just said Youk’s batting average at the Trop is under .200 for his career. Not sure I like that.

    The cowbells must be easier to hear on TV. They didn’t seem to dominate last night — I barely heard them, really. Or maybe I just tuned them out.

    Okay Josh…time to work more of your magic!

  7. 2008 April 27 at 2:03 pm

    I can hear one or two on the radio right now, but that’s it. I guess a few people had tickets for both nights.

  8. 2008 April 27 at 2:03 pm

    I have been hearing the cowbells all game. I bet some people who were there yesterday brought them back today just because.

    I’m not worrying, the Hawks are going to get killed Monday.

    Ticketmaster has a ton of game 5 tickets up still if anyone wants to go to it…I’m making myself wait until the ECF, if the C’s get there, to go to a playoff game:-/

    They aren’t even making Shields work much…boo.

    Yanno…I used to be SO into basketball, both college and NBA. I don’t know what happened, but about the only time I pay attention anymore is during March Madness. I lost interest in the NBA when all the greats from the Jordan era retired.

    BecKKKKett!!!!

    I can definitely hear the cowbells. Too bad NESN couldn’t block them out (like my Bose headphones).

    BecKKKKett!

  14. 2008 April 27 at 2:08 pm

    Josh is SCARY good.

  15. 2008 April 27 at 2:08 pm

    Holy shit. See, this is why we need Josh.

    Desperate Third Baseman up, oooooh!

    I SO wish that I could see this game on TV. This has got to be amazing to watch.

    Anyone know who the likely starter will be a week from Monday? That’s my next “Sox on TV” game.

    HA! Meghan beat me to it!

    Lindsay, reverse psychology is the name of the game here!

  27. 2008 April 27 at 2:12 pm

    See, thats what happens when you talk about a no hitter.

    Lindsay permalink

    Ok, im just gonna shut up now =X

  32. 2008 April 27 at 2:13 pm

    I knock on wood whenever the commentators say things, actually. See, I’m not very superstitious in my non-baseball life, but as far as the game goes…You just don’t say anything whilst it’s happening.

  33. 2008 April 27 at 2:13 pm

    It is your fault Lindsay. that’s one of those things you aren’t allowed to talk about either.

    Any of the walking stats encyclopedias know what the record is for the highest number of Ks in a no-hitter? Just curious.

    Ok, i like Hinske n all, but he needs to knock it off! lol.

  38. 2008 April 27 at 2:15 pm

    …dude, Hinske stole. Wasn’t expecting that.

    Eh, I’ll take the strikeout.

  39. 2008 April 27 at 2:15 pm
    Lindsay permalink

    anyone know the record for most strikeouts in a game? or Becketts high?

  40. 2008 April 27 at 2:15 pm
