Clay’s first visit to Yankee Stadium…
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.
Hi! waving…
Last TV opportunity for me for a few weeks, so I’ll mostly be in the other room watching the festivities, but will check in as time permits.
Tomorrow I may be scarce…real life calls and I have errands to do on the way home but once I get back will listen on whatever audiostream I can find, maybe post a little too.
Play ball, y’all!
I hope Clay throws a great game.
Go Sox!
I’m working late, so better be good and actually *work*.
I hope this game is REALLY LONG. I DON’T CARE about sleep.
(You hear me, Sox and Yanks?)
Hey all!
Joe Thurston up to cover for Cora.
Mmmm, LIza…much as I’d love a marathon, I hope they can hold it to 4 hours in the interest of my getting a decent night’s sleep.
all right everyone. let’s do this thing! buck v. wang. BRING IT.
i like pedey hitting .311 this early. ATTA BOY.
omg, wang needs beating.
Hehe at the Sox’s plane blocking the Yankees last night.
I am ridiculously excited about Thurston. I really hope he gets to play soon.
C’mon, Jacoby!
:: doing the getting the game on NESN happy dance ::
I LOOOOOOOOVE Don & Remy.
Evening everyone! I’m looking forward to a great game tonight, considering the totally crappy day I have had. Come on Sox! Cheer me up!!
Coco injured? Didn’t need that.
Sorry if I’m a bit delayed tonight – my computer is doing a virus scan and it’s not done.
Nice walk, Dustin!
ok, is the ump particular huge or is dustin particularly TINEH tonight?
Coco being injured helps explain Thurston a bit more since he can play OF too…
C’mon, Manny!
Oh, and for those who didn’t see it – Jed’s post-game interview. And the first thing he does is crack up. I love him.
Hey everyone! Love’d y’all comments during yesterday’s especially since I’m in Orlando for college and don’t get to see the games often! :( Time for a break from reality of school! Let’s win 5 in a row Sox!
YES!
WOOOOOO! Yeah Manny!!
YEAH!!
Yay cleats in pleats! Way to run home! Thank you Manny!!!
I heart you Mannyyyyyy!!!
Coco being injured will decrease his trade value (not that I’m in a hurry to trade him, but one has to wonder what Theo is going to do).
MANNNNNNYYYYYYYY!!!!!
Bethie, sorry about the crappy day. Manny is trying to help ;-)
Manny!
Last Friday that would have been straight to Matsui:-P
Hey Danielle! :)
I’m working on a paper due tomorrow. 15 pages thus far. Ugh.
Youuuuuuuuuuuk!
Manny improved my mood just a tad. :)
Yuk…where’s the dramatic “oh I’m hit?” Bring it!
15 pages? How many do you need total?
I’m making a PPT for my reenacting group so we can play 1860s baseball better right now. I’m currently at the ‘debunking Doubleday’ part.
Liza, 15 pages???? What class is this for?
I feel your pain Liza. I just finished two case studies, one 35 pages, one 20 and had 2 1/2 weeks with 5 tests! Not so fun- Thank god finals start next week and the Red Sox are on so life’s good.
It amuses me to NO END how the Yankees catchers’ pinstripes form a diamond around the groin area…
Anyway. Woo, 1-0 already!
Youk bouncing while he’s at bat always cracks me up.
dustin + manny = WIN
I so hope Clay has a good game tonight. Completely nervous for him.
I’m glad I’m not the only one with homework ;-)
I’m working on something for a meeting Friday. It’s amazing how much better I code when watching the Sox! heheeheehee
How much you want to bet Clay’s wearing hemp tonight?
Dustin hitting better than A-Rod. Whee!
I missed this about Coco being injured. What happened?
AHA! HAHAHAHA
Dustin’s average at the start of the game: .311.
A-Rod’s average at the start of the game: .300.
Conclusion? Dustin > A-Rod. Simple arithmetic.
I’m willing to bet he’s loaded up with a lot of hemp tonight.
I love that Clay is Beckett upside down (Mariner’s number)
Coco has a sore hamstring…Tito says it’s nothing big, they are going to rest him as a precaution though.
Buchholz is indeed wearing (a) hemp necklace(s).
Also, I’m watching Jed’s postgame interview and he is SO CUTE IT HURTS.
coco = tight hamstring, but he took bp, so the speculation is that it’s not too serious // listed as day-to-day
Hi kids! I haven’t been as chatty lately in open threads because I notice when I’m typing or reading I sometimes miss key moments – like noogies! Fortunatly TG has righted that particular wrong.
