This is your only chance to watch the Sox take on the Yanks this weekend without having to endure Tim McCarver or Joe Morgan. Enjoy it while it lasts. Anyone else hoping for a repeat appearance from the hawk?
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.
(snorts in amusement)
HAHAHA
…at the Wang joke, not the traveling. My comment posted at a bad time…sorry!
Eeeep, Javy in.
oh god. oh no, oh no.
Lopez.
TG – Got it. :)
I DON’T BELIEVE IT! Lopez got a lefty out!
Aw, haha. Dustin slipped.
He did? Awww! (Sure it’s not Jed? Okay, kidding. He just seems like a bit of a klutz.)
Nim-Rod – damn it
Awww, jennifer- missing two sox-yanks games is tough to take. But, it’s not over til it’s over… or something. :)
Matsui is just not an attractive man.
A-a-r-d-s-m-a! (duh duh duh)
Seriously–whose idea was it to bring Lopez in to face Abreu (a lefty), A-Rod, and Matsui (another lefty)?
Ow, we’re running through the bullpen tonight.
At least they got another out…
Lightning in PA. Thunder soon after. This thing’s only a few miles off…
(shuts her windows and thanks God for her surge protectors)
Matsui is hideous. Amazingly, someone actually married him not too long ago.
Lopez STILL can’t get anybody out.
If he doesn’t let up a run, I’ll be happy.
His wife was going for the slumpbuster.
PORTLAND LOST.
WAAAAAAAAAAAAH.
Ah, yes, Matsui did marry recently and won a bet with his teammates though Jerry thought he married a picture and not a real person. Don O corrected him.
For some reason, I really find that silly and fun this evening.
At least I won’t have to deal with the McCarver or the Morgan?
And, hey, I get home a little after midnight on Sunday, so who knows? It’s entirely possible I’ll catch a few innings of that one. *g*
JAVIER LOPEZ YOU LITTLE PISS
And right as I say that, Aardsma tucks his shirt very deeply into his pants (in the front)…
alright, Aardy.
(Aardy is what I shall call him.)
…can you say awkwaaaaard?
jennifer – that is true. I’d say you were BLESSED to miss the 1-2 punch of suckitude that is McCarver-Morgan.
yeah – bad weather arriving in Northern Virginia, too
TG: LOL! You got that right!
Stanford ties the game up 6-6 in the top of the fifth.
(laughs her ass off at the mental image of an incredibly pissed off Jacoby shooting Jed death glares)
I’m loving the tall socks on Aardvark.
C’mon, just one strike away from escaping this deathtrap of an eighth inning…
intense!!!!!!
70 pitches through 7 for Wang? WTF?
A-A-R-D-S-M-A!!
AARDSMA!
Again, two times in a row, he’s come through and pitched great.
YES!!!!!!
thank god for Aardy!
NICE. (whistles)
Whew….relieved.
If anyone cares, Craig Hansen is getting some work right now for Pawtucket. It’s the bottom of the seventh and they’re losing 8-5. (Waaaaah.)
sry corey, but we DFA’d the right guy. whoooot.
MIDDLE OF THE EIGHTH.
(Sorry, couldn’t resist. It’s Masterson’s fault. Long story.)
I
reallykind of wish Matsui and Melky had collided there.(Trying out the strikethrough tag)
c’mon Birthday Boy!
It worked!
Also, 78 pitches through 8?
-gags-
That’s because our boys aren’t working the count tonight.
these long balls are killing me..
Poor Jason. Not the way he wanted to celebrate his birthday, I’m sure.
This is a nightmare…I talked a lot of shit today.
1863, they need to make like Abreu. So patient at the plate. I must say, he’s one of the few Yankees who I like, but I wish he weren’t having such a good time in the field tonight.
1863, expect some loud noises near you–the Penguins just broke a 3-3 tie with a minute left.
A combination of good stuff from Wang, everything hit hard going right to a fielder save for Drew’s homer, and an umpire that loves that low and inside call has made this a good outing for Wang. I still say he’s overrated, but he’s got it going tonight. So I guess I should begrudgingly tip my cap to him.
However, I expect a lot different tomorrow(or Sunday…depending if tomorrow gets rained out or not)
This is pretty much the most important thing they stress to the Sox Minor Leaguers – they make sure they learn how to work counts. That’s why Youk is now known as the ‘Greek God of Walks’ – he was especially good at it. Dustin normally is, too. In general, it’s one of the most important skills our boys down on the farm learn.
Can we put in Jed just for shits in the bottom of the ninth? It would make my otherwise crappy baseball day much better…
(Or are they saving him for Saturday so we can have Stanford vs. Stanford? Mussina’s starting tomorrow…)
C’mon, Aardsma. No more runs or hits or anything. We need to keep the lead to just these two runs.
You can’t imagine how unpleasant iti is to be married to a skanky fan right now…
let’s just keep this 3-1, hmm?
