Come on Dice!
Jane, I agree. I can’t imagine a Tek-less team, but he can’t play forever. Cash seems to be doing a good job.
Cash seems confident. Assertive, even. There was an article a while back that talked about him picking up something in Wakefield’s crazy-ass knuckleball delivery. He addressed and they all worked with Farrell to correct the problem.
That bodes well for him.
But… Viva La Tek.
Alright J.D!
Well how about that — I certainly checked in at the right time, didn’t I? :-D
“Grand Slam. JD Drew.”
… I will never tire from hearing that. I might make it my ringtone.
JD! Grand Slam!
I love the ESPN GameCast showing a baseball going….going…gone!
I’ve got so much work to do! Gets in the way of the game!
heeheee
I’m still mad at myself for missing Game 6 of the ALCS. But at least I have video of the Drew’s grand slam.
Great point, Jane. I remember reading that, too.
Lugo “adjusting himself” makes me never want to eat food again.
I’m taking an early lunch, closing the door, and “watching” the game. I wish I could take a 3-hour lunch ;-)
Dice…STRIKES! throw STRIKES!
“But I want to throw 3634056432095 pitches, friend!”- Dice
LOL Jane!
grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr….
did anyone else hear don call Mikey “Mike Youkilus” when Mikey went to catch the fly ball a few minutes ago? lol.
Just checking back in for a moment — is Lugo’s running off today or something? What’s with the caught stealing and thrown out at home? I can’t see the game so don’t know what happened there.
Hi ecl, I was wondering the same thing. I’m not watching the game, just tracking it on GameCast, so don’t know. I wonder if he’s pushing harder to make up for his errors? I don’t know.
I’m completely overwhelmed with work and I just want to watch the game. No more goofing off, eh?
I’ve got Gameday open as well as this thread, but am just peeking in to check the play by play rather than actually trying to follow the game. Too much to do — right now I’m transcribing really boring letters to doctors. (yawn)
About Lugo, I did read within the last couple of days that he’s likely putting a lot of pressure on himself because of Cora taking over in the late innings, among other things.
Papi hit a ball down the first base line that hit the bag and went straight up in the air. Lugo was on second and sent home. Grudzielanek made a great throw to get Lugo at thet plate.
Gaaaaaah, I kind of hate hearing that about Lugo. For seflish reasons, naturally. Because then I feel like a bad fan for bitching him. And starting that guerilla style, grassroots campaign to switch his official number from 23 to E6. Up to sixty-four signatures.
But now I feel like scuuuuum.
Just, … do good things, Looogie. Please? I do want to believe in you. I do. Just… blah.
Hi Ian, hope you’re feeling better.
Thanks for the update!
LOL, Jane! That’s funny…64 signatures. hmmmm…some Photoshopping might be in order (not that I have time)
PLEATS!
:: goes back to work ::
Well, Jane, for some unknown reason I have a soft spot for little ol’ Lugie…except when he makes errors or GIDP, of course (then I get mad at him just like everyone else). So I’m rooting for him to do good things too. Please feel free to hate me for doing so. ;-)
Wow — must be grand slam day! Hey, isn’t it a full moon? :-)
hooray for Mikey Lowell and JD Drew! I love seeing grand slams!
I totally forgot there was a game today. Why can’t they do this when I’m watching!!
Um. Craig “Yoooo Man” Hansen? Is that you? Where be yo’ flowin’ tresses?
Hansen cut his hair? Thank goodness. He was looking a little scraggly.
He looks presentable. Bizarrrreeeeeeee.
Hansen is an odd-looking guy…just my opinion, of course.
I agree, ecl. I can’t place why though.
Paps is in. Amazing, with 11 runs, we still need a closer
:: looks at the rest of then pen ::
I can’t wait for tomorrow! I’ll be there to cheer our guys on.
:: hopes and prays that Jacoby plays ::
Nice sweep, fellas.
GAME!
OK, y’all…get back to work.
;-)
How kind of them to win right before I get off work. I hope they’re replaying it tonight.
test.
