    all right, beckett. PLEASE RIGHT THIS SHIP. no pressure or anything. ;D

    OH WAIT YOU LOVE PRESSURE.

  2. 2008 May 13 at 6:56 pm

    Exactly! If anyone’s gonna turn us around, it’s Beckett…No questions asked.

  3. 2008 May 13 at 6:57 pm

    Good evening! Trying to get sane after a hellacious day at work. I hope Commander Kickass will help me feel better.

    I hope Beckett kicks some serious arse tonight….

    Even if I don’t get to see it. Damn blackouts!

    At least I have the radio. *shrugs*

    I probably won’t be around here very long tonight. I have my AP English Lang. Exam tommorow; there’s not really anything I can do to study for it, so getting enough sleep is probably the best thing I can do.
    And with Beckett on the mound, I’ll know I’ll be able to sleep well tonight!

  6. 2008 May 13 at 7:03 pm

    nice to see beckett’s plane from mpls got him there safely. i hope he and jonny got a good night’s sleep! ;D

    Evening, y’all!

    The baseball gods have smiled upon me–I can watch Commander Kickass lead the Fuck Yeah Brigade on my big screen with surround sound, with the added bonus that Jim Palmer’s the MASN color guy instead of the incredibly annoying Buck Martinez.

    god, i love all the cheering. FENWAY SOUTH!

    Fenway Mid-Atlantic. Tropicana Field is Fenway South.

  10. 2008 May 13 at 7:11 pm

    FENWAY SOUTH-OF-ME. ;D

    c’mon, big papi!

    It also doubles as Yankee Stadium Mid-Atlantic, although admittedly at the one Sox/O’s game I’ve attended there were more Sox fans there than I’ve seen Yankees fans–and that’s saying something.

  12. 2008 May 13 at 7:12 pm

    nice piece of hitting, papi.

    ok, manny. do what you do, big guy!

    Okay, those dreads are getting a little out of control.

    Too bad Ellsbury isn’t playing because then it’d be 46 vs. 46. Anyone get excited about when those things happen?

    Here’s my “two cents” on Coco: I think he’s really stepping his game up this year because he has some competition in CF and might be traded, so he wants to 1) prove to other teams he’s awesome, 2) show the Red Sox he’s awesome, or 3) both.

    Alex Cora’s batting average is golden.

    About Trish’s comment on the dreads: I totally agree. They’re cool to a point, and then they get a little annoying.

    YEEEAH!

  16. 2008 May 13 at 7:15 pm

    Is Jacoby out with the bruised knee?

    Yeah Manny!

    (By the way, I won’t be around much–I have to analyze some DNA sequences for my bio class, among other things. Loads of fun.)

    Hi everyone…after a crazy weekend I’m looking foward to a relaxing night of watching Josh kick some ass…..I did get some great birthday presents….though I think my favorite is my Beckett bobble head….or maybe my ‘bring it like beckett” t-shirt….my coworkers know me too well =)

  18. 2008 May 13 at 7:18 pm

    Oh, poor Tito…

    Yay for another run, though.

  19. 2008 May 13 at 7:18 pm

    This is starting nicely.

  20. 2008 May 13 at 7:18 pm

    jacoby is available tonight if need be, but they’re resting him if they don’t need him. plus, coco’s playing GREAT so letting ells rest a bit more makes sense.

    Multitasking here during a phone call…did Manny’s dreads do something bad? I like them as long as he keeps them somewhat in check…

    back in a moment

  24. 2008 May 13 at 7:20 pm

    Trish do we have to have another ‘talk’? ;)

    kristina- Happy late birthday!! I’m planning on getting that shirt sometime soon! (once I get some money… I might also have to get a new iPod because someone stole mine, grr)

  26. 2008 May 13 at 7:21 pm

    Happy birthday Kristina!

    HAH. Thanks, Millar!

    As a Yankees fan I am required by law to loathe one Red Sox player. It used to be Damon (and even though he’s on the Yankees I still don’t like him), now it’s Youkilis. Deal. ;)

    Jesus, between the chants of LET’S GO RED SOX and lousy play it sucks to be an O tonight.

    I love Kevin Millar dearly, but- YES! And that kind of reminds me of… something else.

    Well as a Yankee fan you have much to hate and fear in Youk so I can accept that.

    Hate, yes. Fear, no.

    LOL, they just showed the O’s manager saying the only way they could beat Josh was if it started raining.

    kristina- 1 year 3 days?! That’s like only 368 (or 369) days! It’s definitely meant to be… ;)

    (random: I had a dream last night and it was in my point of view on my wedding day and Josh Beckett was at down the aisle smiling at me. Twas a bit funny. Best man= Pap)

    yes Trish, the future husband says he’s ok with the school girl cruch I have as long as it’s partly because he’s the most ass-kickingest pitcher in baseball (yes, those are Matt’s words) =)

    My husband has a slight mancrush on Josh. :D

  50. 2008 May 13 at 7:42 pm

    Trish, LOL about required by law to hate one Sox player! Funny, I liked Damon much better when he was still with the Sox, even though I was still a Yankees fan at the time. Once he got to New York I decided I didn’t like him very much at all.
