  4. 2008 May 1 at 7:08 pm

    Ian, that was an awesome video :)

  9. 2008 May 1 at 7:13 pm

    Spanks.

    Is it me or does the camera angle from behind look different?

  10. 2008 May 1 at 7:23 pm

    Steph they need Jacoby or JD back so Crisp can rest his knee

  11. 2008 May 1 at 7:25 pm

    Hughes is out until July for the Yanks with a stress fracture in his rib.

  12. 2008 May 1 at 7:25 pm

    Definitely. They said Jacoby will probably be in tomorrow – they were talking about him being healthy on the radio – so that should cover Coco. (I don’t want to think about having to go to Pawtucket again…)

    Also, Phil Hughes is out until at least July, apparently…

  13. 2008 May 1 at 7:26 pm

    Hey guys!

    Hi everyone….no paper to write tonight, in fact, no more papers ever! (can you tell i’m excited)…..looking foward to a good game!

  15. 2008 May 1 at 7:26 pm

    …wow, apparently the radio and the TV announced the Phil Hughes bit at exactly the same time.

  16. 2008 May 1 at 7:27 pm

    Ooh, Kristina – congratulations! My English paper’s due date has been changed to Tuesday (he decided to make it the final), but I’m still working on my history one…

  17. 2008 May 1 at 7:28 pm

    No Steph they haven’t said anything about it during the game. I saw it earlier this afternoon and was just saying it.

    That’s funny though they said it at the same time on the radio.

  18. 2008 May 1 at 7:29 pm

    Abreu just hit a 3-run jack in the 1st

  19. 2008 May 1 at 7:30 pm

    They did – I was writing that one comment, and when I added the Phil Hughes bit as an afterthought and posted yours came up one comment before mine. Serendipity, I guess…

    yeah thank god, i would celebrate, but finishing the paper at 3:15 am + getting up at 6 am for work = very tired kristina….and on a baseball note, Yeah Mikey!

    Lugo not in the lineup….hmmm…Jed looking to steal his job….go for it!

  24. 2008 May 1 at 7:35 pm

    Damnit, Jed!

  25. 2008 May 1 at 7:36 pm

    …I tend to tough-love him a bit. Yeeeaaah.

  26. 2008 May 1 at 7:37 pm

    Okay, for any of you who score games, I have a question. (I’d ask my dad but he’s at work). If the first baseman catches a groundball and throws it to the pitcher who is covering the base, would it be scored as 3-1?

  27. 2008 May 1 at 7:39 pm

    Yes choco that is the correct scoring

  28. 2008 May 1 at 7:43 pm

    Thanks, Ian

    RemDawg is all over Don again about not ironing his suits

    Youkilis sweats out of his head more than any human being I’ve ever seen.

    C’mon guys…let’s get something going here!

    He’s got no hair to absorb it all

  33. 2008 May 1 at 7:56 pm

    …or not.

  34. 2008 May 1 at 7:56 pm

    TG- oh my goodness, I know!! when he was first up to bat he had beads of sweat coming down his face, and he took off his helmet and his head was like glistening.

  35. 2008 May 1 at 7:56 pm
    ecl1958 permalink

    Is he totally bald already at his age, or does he just choose to shave it all?

  36. 2008 May 1 at 7:57 pm
    Texas Gal permalink

    Dude- he came up to bat in the 1st, barely any time has gone by for him to work up a sweat, plus it’s 50 degrees out, and he’s sweating like a stuck pig.

  37. 2008 May 1 at 7:58 pm

    Eeeeep, got a quick college obligation! Be back in a minute…

  38. 2008 May 1 at 7:58 pm

    Tigers roared back to take 4-3 lead

  39. 2008 May 1 at 7:58 pm

    Hey all. I just underwent a 5 hour media blackout(for one of my finals) and I’m kind of out of the loop. Anything happen? Oh and what in the hell is up with the centerfield camera?!

  40. 2008 May 1 at 7:59 pm

    …or not. Apparently this college obligation is being delayed.

    Yay Detroit!

  41. 2008 May 1 at 7:59 pm
    ecl1958 permalink

    Piney, how did the media blackout project go? Did you survive?

  42. 2008 May 1 at 7:59 pm

    I was wondering the same thing Piney. My only guess would be that htey are doing this for the knuckleball.

  43. 2008 May 1 at 8:00 pm

    College obligation on! (runs to her stupid floor meeting)

    WOW! Did everyone else hear the Mike Nesmith acoustic/country version of “Listen To The Band” playing on the Fenway PA? The PA person has excellent taste in music.

  48. 2008 May 1 at 8:06 pm

    Stop scaring us like that Manny.

    IF i knew who Mike Nesmith is I’d say yes.
