If you can tear yourself away from Bruins playoff action, the Masters coverage or the Frozen Four (BC! Notre Dame!) tonight, there should be a heckuva showdown to determine who will take home the series victory between the Sox and the Tigers. Or, better yet, do like I’m going to do and go to a sports bar so you can watch all of that at the same time.
Don’t forget: the game’s on NESN-Plus tonight- go here to see where to find it.
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’ve read in a couple of places that Mike is on the DL and Jed’s been called up in his place…can anyone confirm that?
(My hands are shaking like crazy…)
Never mind it – there’s a link here. It’s confirmed.
Speedy recovery, Mike! (goes back to hyperventilating)
yup it’s official and looks like Cora might be right behind him. I doubt Lowrie will play tonight (I know he’s not in the lineup) as he played this afternoon in Pawtucket.
Yeah – I watched the Pawtucket game, and I was expecting Joe Thurston because he was out of the lineup today. Hmmm. I was (pleasantly) surprised.

They could bring up Thurston is Cora ends up with Mikey on the DL.
Hey all, just blew in from work and will be following the action on Gameday, posting here, and trying to fool with e-mails, all at the same time. Gotta change into something comfy and throw supper together. Back in a few…
That wouldn’t surprise me one bit. The PawSox do have the depth to cover the middle infield whilst they’re gone (Velazquez and Spann), so they should be fine down there – and if need be, they can even bump somebody up from Portland.
…I’m a little concerned with the injuries coming this early, though, I have to say. But the DL is a good idea so we can have Mike and Alex when we need them.
Cora’s injury sounded a bit like it was fluke injury.
And i just realized something. We won’t get the game in HD since it’s on the NESN Plus channel.
I won’t even get it on TV anyway. I envy all of you (but in a nice way, I promise!).
I am totally moving to New England after school. I need NESN so badly…and there’s lots of history up there, so getting a job shouldn’t be so hard…
ooh, Don just said Lowrie is playing tonight!
and during the entire pregame show, they didn’t mention Cora’s injury.
…Don said Jed is in?
(starts hyperventilating again) I’d just started breathing again, too!
Lowrie isn’t in the starting lineup. He said “Jed Lowrie comes up from the Pawsox”
(calms down again) Okay, good – that’d probably been too much for my lungs to take right there. Jed already played today, anyway. He needs a break…
damn. I guess I’m too hopeful..
Steph i’ll have a present for you in a minute.
He’s here! Oh my god!
He’s in the dugout, though… well, he might play today!
I’ll be here on and off–I’ve got to eat and do some work. But I will be here!
Let’s go Sox! :D
You’re too hopeful? I’m the one with a tag that reads ‘I am obsessed with Jed Lowrie’ on my Livejournal…
See? I’m not lying.
That’s okay, 1863, we all have our obsessions
We’re in similar situations as far as media coverage. I saw your posts about Gettysburg, etc., during last night’s game. Very nice area! But far from all things Sox. As for me, I’d have to move 1000 miles to get to New England. :-(
Good lord..they even have towels in Montreal!!!!!!!
Nice one, Youk!
Towels? Good thing I’m watching the Sox. Ugh.
My computer DVR wouldn’t let me take a screenshot for you Steph. I tried though.
It’s a lovely area – and I’m surprised how many Sox fans are at my college! (There’s even a guy with a Portland Sea Dogs hat!) I finally caved and got the Gameday audio – the radio’s lovely to have, and it’s a huge step over Gameday. (Oh, and it costs less than $20 per year.)
Awww, don’t worry about it – it’s okay.
…I need to get computer DVR. It just sounds amazing.
You can sign up for the 14.95 Red Sox Nation package and get game day audio for free with it.
For those who are in the Boston area–I’m loving this beautiful weather today! I spent so much time outside this afternoon. Perfect temperature.
Wow. Youk finally gets a chance to show off his range. He has such fabulous all-around defense.
Steph, it’s the same thing as having TIVO or a DVR. I just have a TV tuner wit the DVR program.
I signed up for the audio independently, but it still cost roughly the same. It’s a good deal either way.
And it’s better than staring at the screen and waiting for each pitch to come on delay. (I once compared a game on TV to Gameday, and the pitch delay was something like 30 seconds. Ugh.)
I don’t have TIVO (I doubt my college would allow it), but I’d love to get it at some point… (puts it on her ‘things to do when she graduates’ list)
Is the Red Sox Nation package something on mlb.com? The way I’m going, I may just need that!
Pretty bunt by Lugo.
Oh yes the weather was lovely here in CT too. I went down the beach and did a little walking.
This is the Red Sox Nation package.
ECL here’s the link.

steph beat me to it. LOL.
Ya reckon if Lugo keeps up the good work the fans will quit hating on him? I just can’t get with all the nastiness on the part of sports fans, especially towards someone on their own team.
Lugo is feeling the pressure because Jed is currently in the ballpark. Okay, I’m kidding.
I try to follow the Japanese style of cheering for your team – that is, cheering for slumping players in order to encourage them to start hitting again. I’ve always liked it better.
Very obvious “FUCK” there by Pedroia again.
Bruins down 2-0 16 minutes to go in the first period.
Dustin and his fuck’s.
That’s the way it is ECL. J.D, drew got it from the fans last year, the new york fans do it all the time.
the shift should be outlawed.
how many double plays have I seen in the past three days?
Steph – Agreed. The only players I would ever, ever boo would be Johnny Demon and Alex Rodriguez.
Thanks for the link, y’all (youse guys). Bookmarked to peruse at my leisure.
1863, that’s a great idea. Isn’t that what finally snapped the 0-33 last year?
Oh maaaaaan….PAPI…what’s the matter with you? :-(
Ugh–the shift and the DP. No fun.
C’mon, Wakey… strikes are good.
Steph are you cheering like the Hanshin Tiger Fan club
Ian, who is the most likely of the Yankees to feel the wrath of the fans? Is there a perennial goat, or does it change on a whim? Just curious.
I am really, really hoping that Jed gets an at-bat in the Yankees series against Mike Mussina. That would crack me up so bad…
(For those who don’t get it, both of them went to Stanford.)
(is in an ouendan!) Okay, not really, but I’d totally love to be in one. They’re awesome!
