    Hi Y’all!

    :: waves ::

    How’s the weather back there? I hear there’s chance of showers. I hope not!

    :: sends sun vibes back east ::

    ;-)

    I’m looking forward to seeing Colon tonight.

    Hey, Jules!
    I wasn’t brave enough to make the first comment, so I’m glad you did!

    It’s OK, nj…

    Isn’t Colon a big guy? wow.

  4. 2008 May 21 at 7:03 pm

    Hey Jules and nj!!

    I’m happy I finally got my computer to cooperate so I can watch the game tonight! Excited to see what Colon is gonna do.

    I think Don and Jerry are wearing matching jackets. Anyone else notice this?

    I love this RSN commercial with Paps doing his “dance” and Fisk calling it fair. So cool.

    I’m sooooooooo ready for baseball tonight.

    Hi Bethei and Abby…

    I noticed their jackets, too. Particularly that DO wasn’t wearing that 70s-inspired blue number with white buttons. Remy (rightfully) gives him a hard time when he wears that.

  8. 2008 May 21 at 7:06 pm

    Just downloaded lester’s no hitter off of Itunes too. Some required re-watching for the next few days.

  9. 2008 May 21 at 7:06 pm

    Ouch my Colon!!

    I’ll be here later once our radio show is over at 8 pm.

    Uh oh – was that an error?

    I’ll be back in a bit – gotta go to the library before it closes.

    LOL on the ump calling that last strike. DO and Remy crack me up.

  13. 2008 May 21 at 7:16 pm

    good for the obliques, huh? HA

    Jules – he seemed very excited!

    (i haven’t left yet…)

  15. 2008 May 21 at 7:17 pm

    I didn’t think that was hit hard enough to be gone. But yay!

    JACOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOBY!

    AWESOME!

    Ok, I’ve got to check the kidlet and think about what to make for dinner…back later.

    Jon Lester kept calling Jacoby “Jake” during his interview post-no-hitter. It was odd.

  18. 2008 May 21 at 7:19 pm

    AWW. Right-field fist-bump does my heart good.

  19. 2008 May 21 at 7:19 pm

    Well, this is starting out nicely

  20. 2008 May 21 at 7:21 pm

    Jacoby!
    Jules, I live too far away to get NESN, but maybe TG or Ian could get a video of that commercial up later

  21. 2008 May 21 at 7:26 pm

    Dayum. Our future’s so bright, mama needs shades.

    I’m thinking Schill was a more than a touch prophetic when he named Jacoby, Dustin, Clay & Jon the Mount Rushmore for the future of this club.

    I love it. Do we have a graphic for that yet?

    Hey, NJ, have you seen this? Or this?

    Also, Jane, I’m on it.

  23. 2008 May 21 at 7:30 pm

    Just in case anyone was wondering, ecl1958 said she’d be late coming to this thread tonight. She wanted me to make sure no one thought that anything bad happened to her since she’s always here for every game.

  24. 2008 May 21 at 7:30 pm

    it’s up on my blog somewhere

  25. 2008 May 21 at 7:33 pm

    Thanks, Liza. Look at the third video in the ‘related videos’ column on this one. =D

    Thanks, Ian. I’ll go look for that now…

    Confession:

    That AT&T commercial with the Motorhead fan who calls himself a “dillweed” kills me *every* time.

  27. 2008 May 21 at 7:35 pm

    HAH. Steph would be proud.

    Jules, it is endearing.

    Twice tonight Don has said “Tomko” and I thought he said “Taco.” I’m not sure what this means.

    It’s really funny if you were in high school in the 80s ;-)

  30. 2008 May 21 at 7:48 pm

    Sunbeam!

  31. 2008 May 21 at 7:59 pm

    Are we trying really hard not to jinx anybody? =/ Where is everyone?

    I was thinking the same thing, Liza!

    hey, everyone(?)

  34. 2008 May 21 at 8:06 pm

    Well, here’s a quick (and terrible) Mount Rushmore

  35. 2008 May 21 at 8:08 pm

    Hey everyone — JUST walked in the door, haven’t even unloaded the groceries yet. I am SO ready to get into this game!

    NJ: Thanks for letting folks know of my tardiness.

    Will be back momentarily — gotta put away the perishables and get into my PJs and get dinner together.

  36. 2008 May 21 at 8:27 pm

    Gee, it IS really quiet in here…

    Hey all. It’s been a while, and I’m just getting a chance to check in. How has Colon been doing tonight? I see we’re down one. But yay K!

    Hmmm…no pleats. What’s going on here?

    hey all…

    I’m glad Colon got out of that jam. He’s doing OK for his first game in the majors in a loooooooooong time.

    Back to cooking…

    oh my..Sullivan Tire commercials make me cringe.
    hahah, I can’t even watch them.
    >.

  41. 2008 May 21 at 8:37 pm

    Hey everyone. I’m a bit distracted.

    C’mon, Tek…

  42. 2008 May 21 at 8:37 pm

    TEK!

    Who doesn’t love Tek? Seriously. I love that man.

  44. 2008 May 21 at 8:39 pm

    Yeah! Good goin’, Tek! You just improved my evening considerably.

    That was close. If that throw had been on…*shudders to think*…yay for coco speed.
