    Casey to first.
    Youk to right field (WTF).
    Ellsbury to center field.

    … Golly.

    Wow–he was a grizzly bear last year. And HAH, the arms make me laugh.

    I think I like hairy Josh a little better.

    nj/brittany, josh was nicely grizzled in that first pic. He actually looks younger w/o the hair.

    thanks Jane :)

    …there are a crapload of people here tonight.

    Yeah, I like the hairy version better too.

    NJ- okay! Holy crap. I think he did! That’s… uh… really weird.

    Aw come on, theres gotta be lots of reasons for guys to shave their arms! Like losing a bet;-)

    Whoa, Jolie, you’re right–65 people online! Is that a record of some sort?

    Yeah, Josh and manscaping, not a combination I expected to see.

    Jane permalink

    No problem, Jolie. The Youkness in RF is just puzzling. But he can basically play any position on that field, can’t he? Like, blindfolded or something?

    This game is madness.

    doesn’t Buchholz shave his too?

  15. 2008 May 13 at 9:10 pm
    Liza permalink

    …I like Josh with less facial hair. But the shaved arms weird me out. Less wind resistance for his release, maybe? xD

    Also, looks like the Sox are going to have to make a roster move after the game… considering they have two right now. (freaks out at the possibility of Chris Carter or Jon Van Every coming up to Boston)

    Upset stomach for Coco:-P

    (sigh of relief) Coco’s got an upset stomach. Poor guy, though. :(

    man, coco must be feeling pretty rotten – poor guy.

    Back-to-back walks form Beckett?
    We are in Bizarro World.

    …and here comes MDC.

    Is anyone else a little wary of the possibility of another debilitating sickness in the clubhouse?

  21. 2008 May 13 at 9:13 pm
    Jane permalink

    Liza- I agree. I think it has to do with resistance. Swimmers train while hairy and shave before big meets to up their time. I’m guessing it’s a similar principal.

    But did he really just WALK two people?

    I think he needs a hug.

    Liza, I think you’re right with the wind resistance theory! =D
    I also like Meghan’s idea of losing a bet!

    Hi All!

    :: waves ::

    Where is the Commander Kiss Ass we all know and love? I just got home and saw YOUUUK in right field, and Beckett behind. WTH?

    Thoughts and prayers with Tito’s family.

    Texy, was your blog promoted somewhere? You had some serious traffic earlier.

    Gotta run and do the dinner thing.

    GO SOX!

    Bye, Trish! Thanks for enlightening us with Josh’s, um, manscaping(?).

    I don’t know how I feel about the manscaping….doesn’t seem to suit him….ok boys, we need runs as to avoid any damage to water coolers

    If GameDay is being weird for some of you, try using ESPN’s GameCast here. I’m not sure if it’s updated as quickly as GameDay, but it’s the same idea.

    Yeah, there was some yelling at himself after he gave up the second walk. One of the words definitely rhymed with “duck.”

    all right hitters, knock guthrie out, get beckett off the hook.

    nj: My first look at GameCast. I sorta like the style there. Definitely must bookmark!

    ecl, I usually automatically use GameDay, but it seems like GameCast is updating at the same speed, which I didn’t expect (but don’t mind at all!).
