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.






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.
Whoa – the radio just said Youk’s batting average at the Trop is under .200 for his career. Not sure I like that.
um, i thought cowbell night was over
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.
lmaoo, i thoiught so too! wtf.
Okay Josh…time to work more of your magic!
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.
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.
UMMMMMMMMMMM where was that pitch besides over the plate
BecKKKKett
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!
Josh is SCARY good.
Holy shit. See, this is why we need Josh.
Desperate Third Baseman up, oooooh!
Holy fricken shit!
BecKKKKKett is just rolling along.
the most strikeouts hes had this season is 6..and hes already at friggin 5! holy shit.
Go back to Wisteria Lane, Evan.
(I do not watch that show, but my roommate loves it.)
sit down Eva!
All strikeouts no hitter/ that would be amazing!
::knock on wood::
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.
LINDSAY!!! YOU NEVER EVER SAY THAT!!!!!
And Lindsay it doesn’t even matter. We just want a W.
Com on beck!
HA! Meghan beat me to it!
Lindsay, reverse psychology is the name of the game here!
Lindsay, you HAD to say it.
I knocked on wood! lol.
ok thats not my friggin fault! lol.
(sigh)……
See, thats what happens when you talk about a no hitter.
Ok, im just gonna shut up now =X
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.
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.
BecKKKKKKett anyway.
and BecKKKKKKet says….welcome to my world bitches!
…dude, Hinske stole. Wasn’t expecting that.
Eh, I’ll take the strikeout.
anyone know the record for most strikeouts in a game? or Becketts high?
The record for strikeouts in a game is 20.
Oh, and sry guys =( i didnt mean to jinx it! lol.
Yeah, Lindsay’s K question is even more what I meant.
ahhhh. =)
Thanks, Ian.
Lindsay – don’t worry about it. All we need today is some offense…
woops. that was supposed to be a dif picture! lmaoo
It was supposed to be of Beckett
Lindsay, that’s TG’s header, isn’t it? It’s randomized.
(stops functioning for one at-bat)
LOL, Steph!
