No one ever wants to post first, do they?
Ok for those of you who stuck around last night…I give you the Beckett homer: http://good-times.webshots.com/video/3065142970103545296caeNvy
Fair warning: the sound and picture quality is very crappy.
mmm. day baseball. c’mon, jonny. i’m ready for you!
also exciting about day baseball: EYEBLACK.
(did video of post-game beckett ever surface from yesterday?)
Has Beckett ever hit another homer?
TG— which is odd, because on other sites, there are people who go nuts trying to be first.
The problem is that none of us want to reveal that we’re sitting around waiting for you to put up the thread.
“Wow, she posted less than a minute after the thread went up!”
Hey all! Day baseball looks so different (was just watching a game while stretching). Not just the eyeblack — the sunlight really changes everything.
nice to see ells on top once more. i freakin’ love that kid.
Hi folks.
That shot of smiley Mike Lowell was the perfect way to start a basebawl afternoon.
Hey, everybody!
Jenny, even though I’m a little too old to *squee* over Jacoby, I freakin’ love him too. He is the definition of awesome in so many ways.
YEAH PAPI!!!
ATTA BOY BIG PAPI!!!!!!!!!!!
god, that feels nice. i’d almost forgotten. ;D
Love leading off the game with a homer in the 1st.
Well that’s good! Yay Papi!
PAPI!!!
Speaking of guys I love…
YEAH PAPI!!!
god, this looks much more like my baseball team.
I MISSED YOU GUYS!
I’m watching this game, while “watching” this game. I miss Fox Sports Southwest so much right now.
Anyone planning on a trip to Omaha this year for the CWS? Looks like my babies will be there.
Now THIS is the way to start a game.
(giving my beloved Manny a great big hug)
This already seems better than the whole game yesterday.
The bats are alive today. Thank god.
HITS FEEL GOOD
we just needed a little california afternoon sunshine. ;D
ok, lester, go get ‘em, kiddo.
Aw, Jon.
I just want to hug that boy.
YAY they are hitting today. I don’t have to start drinking early in the afternoon. :)
BTW, was that Mr. Beckett holding down a cooler right outside the dugout? Looking all smug?
Hey everyone!
Go Jonny…
Well, that was over quick.
i get so excited when i see jacoby in the lineup when i check it on extra bases before gametime. pretty soon pedroia is going to start being peeved with me taking *him* being the in the lineup for granted.
ooops, lester, there goes the no-hitter. ;D
LOL Castiglione, “There goes the no-hitter.”
C’mon, go get ‘em, Jon.
c’mon, jonny, no nibbling: GO AFTER THEM.
i vote: TRIPLE PLAY … er … DOUBLE PLAY!
hmmm. remember how well first-pitch strikes worked last monday, jon?
Damn. This could be a long game….
I did not enjoy that.
Ugh- Pedroia doesn’t know how to react when he misses a catch, because it rarely happens.
… right through the five-hole there, lester.
and dusty’s uniform is dirty. good boy.
i feel like ells would’ve had that.
;D
kid’s a superhero!
i am really good at talking about nothing.
Alrighty then!
atta boy, drewski! rally with one down! sox! whoot!
again i find myself wishing for beer in my fridge. alas, alack. root beer shall have to do!
“drewski”? Hee hee. When I look at him I do NOT see a “drewski”
Hii everyone. Let’s go Lugo!
Time for your first HR of the year, Julio…
i’m big into adding the “ie” sound to the end of names, and drewie wasn’t getting it done, so it became drewski.
;D
youkie, lugie, pedey …
i am lame and awesome at the same time.
Heck, I’ll take it!
Hi Y’all!
I’m working today, so *shouldn’t* goofing off too much (I just want to get this done!).
Great HR by Papi! I hope Lester remembers his first pitch strike.
And, I can’t wait to get our guys out of Oakland–i miss DO & Remy (and HD ;-).
