Gameday Open Thread: Yankees 4/12

by Texy
2008 April 12 at 3:13 pm



vs. New York Yankees
3:55 pm
Fenway Park – Boston, MA
SP: Josh Beckett vs. Mike Mussina
tv/radio: FOX – MLB.TV – WRKO

Josh vs. Moose. I know Papelbon’s the one who hunts moose, but I think Josh will be just as happy to see this particular Moose go down in defeat today.

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.

    Go Sox!

    I was glad to see Casey have a good game yesterday.

    And I agree with you, that was a HIT, dammit.

    I’m worried about our pitching. Wang went 9 and our pen has been worked and not very successful. I hope Commander Kick Ass is ready to go.

    Working from home, so I won’t be (or *shouldn’t*) be watching too much or posting too much. I also have to fight my beloved for the clicker (Masters).

    :: goes to get the clicker ::

    GO SOX!

    Ian – where were ya?

    The clouds have come back again, but there’s still sun, so it still looks fine.

    One of my best friends had his bachelor party last night.

  5. 2008 April 12 at 3:40 pm

    Hi kids! I’ve missed y’all.
    Hee hee – I said “y’all.”

  6. 2008 April 12 at 3:41 pm

    Don’t worry fc i use it all the time.

  7. 2008 April 12 at 3:50 pm

    That Fox intro was pretty cool. Plus the get to know Papelbuns.

    ECL checking in! I too will probably not be posting much, as I’m finally getting to watch the game on TV. My brand spankin’ new Manny shirt was waiting in my mailbox 15 minutes ago when I returned from errands, so I’m now dressed for success.

    FC, I don’t believe we’ve met before, but I occasionally use a stray “y’all” myself, having lived in NC for 20 years now. :-)

    Okay, off to watch the game. Will check back later…

    Yep, I enjoyed the Pap segment too.

    That Papelbuns bit was fun. I must have that book.

    If I were Queen of the Universe™, I’d ban all drug commercials from TV during sporting events.

    The Traitor is starting. Hope he chokes.

    What’s up with Beckett’s warmup music being “rockstar” from Nickelback.

    Joba’s lineup was kind of hilarious. WHY does he have to be on the Yankees?

    I love the irony of Demon flying out to Jacoby.

    Hey Ian..missed you last night. Did you get the link I sent for the Sodfather article? Roger Bossard profile.

    Sweet, Mr. Beckett. You can come into any tune you like.

  16. 2008 April 12 at 4:02 pm

    Nice start Josh. That’s what I’m talkin about!

  17. 2008 April 12 at 4:02 pm

    Mid-inning check-in. I got a kick out of Joba’s shtick about “name that Molina.” LOL.

    Nice going, Beckett.

    Score two for Commander Kickass!

    Pee Wee Peddy. Gotta love the “Mayor”

  23. 2008 April 12 at 4:04 pm

    Sean Casey is not a natural on camera. Keep your day job, dude. :)

  24. 2008 April 12 at 4:05 pm

    Yes Starr. Thanks for that. I commented back last night bout 3 am or so.

  25. 2008 April 12 at 4:05 pm

    Oh, Trish–a tale of two alliances? :)

    Where’s Steph? It’s two ex-Pac-10 boys!

  26. 2008 April 12 at 4:06 pm

    Tacoby Bellsbury. Woot Woot

  27. 2008 April 12 at 4:07 pm

    YEAH! A hit for Jacoby! (Finally.)

  28. 2008 April 12 at 4:07 pm

    Sure looks to me like Ells is fine leading off.

    Ian, you’re dedicated to comment back at 3 AM, and after a bachelor party.

    Woo, Tacoby!

  32. 2008 April 12 at 4:08 pm

    I caught this earlier over at the Pro Jo. Jeff Beckett is starting today.

  33. 2008 April 12 at 4:10 pm

    Nice screw-up by Mussina there.

    C’mon, PAPI!

  34. 2008 April 12 at 4:10 pm

    I miss NO ONE when there are 2 sox on base and no outs.

  35. 2008 April 12 at 4:10 pm

    I don’t really drink Starr so I was a little caffeinated last night and couldn’t sleep. Especially because of the hour drive home.

    I just put that up here. I was like who the f is Jeff Beckett.

    Papi, please hit it out of the park and make that jerk, Joe Buck, eat his words.

  37. 2008 April 12 at 4:12 pm

    I can deal with Joe Buck. It’s Timmah McCarver I can do without.

    McCarver annoys me so much.

    Tim McCarver–annoying the crap out of people for thirty years.

  45. 2008 April 12 at 4:16 pm

    Frosted tip boy should get a nice rousing Fenway welcome again today

  46. 2008 April 12 at 4:16 pm

    These guys should just SHUT UP and let us listen to the atmosphere of the park. That’d be so much better.

  47. 2008 April 12 at 4:17 pm

    OK, OK, someone tell me…was that music played there at the end of the inning Catherine Wheel? Random and marvelous.

    Hey Liza, I’m guilty of a SERIAL dual alliance. I jumped the fence from the Evil Empire last fall. :-)

  50. 2008 April 12 at 4:20 pm

    Frosted tips and rose colored glasses. Could he be anymore gay.
