    I have never met any of the Sox, but oh my lord I have a million and a half connections to them.

    Also, my mom’s boyfriend was drafted in 1965 by them and pitched one game at Fenway. He met Yaz and all the other 1967 guys. I think that’s the most impressive connection.

  4. 2008 May 6 at 9:06 pm

    I’ve talked briefly to Jed, Clay, Masterson, Hansack… and all the rest of the boys at the rookie development signing!

    That means… Chris Carter, Michael Bowden, Dusty Brown, Jon Van Every, Bubba Bell, Aaron Bates, Dustin Richardson, and Hunter Jones!

  5. 2008 May 6 at 9:08 pm

    oh wow! jenny- i may sound stupid, but whats the pru? lol.

    I’ve never met any of them. My grandmother knew Carlton Fisk’s mother and for my 16th birthday got me an autographed ball. That’s my only connection.

  7. 2008 May 6 at 9:09 pm

    MHC, that’s awesome about your mom’s boyfriend! Also, I didn’t get a chance to say congrats for your MPH, so… congrats!

    Wow, Wake seems to be doing REALLY well…

  8. 2008 May 6 at 9:09 pm

    Liza, don’t tell steph that you talked with Jed. she would be so jealous

  9. 2008 May 6 at 9:10 pm

    mikey’s upcoming book signing! the pru is the prudential center, downtown boston. ;D

  10. 2008 May 6 at 9:10 pm

    Lindsay, the pru is the Prudential Building.

    its the Prudential building, in the middle of Boston.

    Let me know when it is so I can change my commute around the crowd.

    Honestly, I’ve never really wanted to go so far as to meet them. No, I mean, I’d love to, but I just can’t bring myself to. I’d feel so weird about it.

    Plus my Boston cynical soul would be like… this is SOOOO fake, they’re on autopilot.

    I know that’s cranky and everything, I don’t look down on people who do go out to meet them, but I can’t be the only one who feels this way.

  12. 2008 May 6 at 9:12 pm

    who’s on 2nd?

    Hey! Just got back and I can’t believe I miseed Ortiz and Manny’s homeruns!

  14. 2008 May 6 at 9:12 pm

    thank u! i need to go to that!

  15. 2008 May 6 at 9:12 pm

    Oh, I’ve told her. And shown her a screencap from a video from it, too.

    Also, I AM SO GOING TO THE MIKEY SIGNING.

  16. 2008 May 6 at 9:13 pm

    God I wish I lived in Boston

    I’ve got an image in my mind of their awesomeness and I wouldn’t want it to be shattered by meeting anyone in person in case that person turns out to be a jerk.

  18. 2008 May 6 at 9:14 pm

    I can see where you are coming from ellen

  19. 2008 May 6 at 9:14 pm

    MANNY HOMERED? 497, baby!

    See, it was the numbers at Fenway. He didn’t like them.

  20. 2008 May 6 at 9:14 pm

    one more inning!!!!!!!

    I can’t go to the Mikey signing because I have a FisherCats game that night.

  22. 2008 May 6 at 9:14 pm

    Is it just me or was this a short game?

  23. 2008 May 6 at 9:15 pm
    Ellen permalink

    This game went really fast! I know I’m not supposed to say that.

  24. 2008 May 6 at 9:15 pm

    I can’t go to the signing because I live in FL. If only I were still going to school in Maine, then at least I had a chance

    Ellen- if we’re being honest, I’m kind of worried they’d be dumbasses too.

    I’ve met some former waiters for their tables…

  26. 2008 May 6 at 9:16 pm

    Oh, Ellen, I’m jealous. I still have yet to get to any minor league games! (I am going in precisely 20 days to McCoy, though…)

  27. 2008 May 6 at 9:16 pm

    if they’ve told you stories about Beckett then don’t tell me. I have my perception of him and I want to keep that way…unless he’s even better than what i thought

  28. 2008 May 6 at 9:17 pm
    mhcranberry, MPH permalink

    No, none about Beckett. Promise.

  29. 2008 May 6 at 9:18 pm

    ok then. I’m even wearing my Becks shirt today if that tells you anything

  30. 2008 May 6 at 9:18 pm
    mhcranberry, MPH permalink

    In fact, I won’t say any of it. Waiters have skewed perception anyway. Forget I said anything. I’m an idiot.

    Hand me another beer and a cupcake.

  31. 2008 May 6 at 9:20 pm

    and balloon

  32. 2008 May 6 at 9:20 pm

    :: hands cupcake ::

  33. 2008 May 6 at 9:20 pm

    mhc and Ellen: I see where you’re coming from too, although I think it would be fun to meet some of them in a more relaxed, less “autopilot” setting. Say, maybe lunch w/Papi and Manny. I can see that being a blast, although maybe the former waiters would beg to differ.

  34. 2008 May 6 at 9:21 pm

    do we know who is closing tonight?

  35. 2008 May 6 at 9:21 pm

    am planning to ask dustin nicely to sign my jersey before one of the three games i’ll be at this weekend in minneapolis. FINGERS CROSSED.

    I never drink beer, but I was sorely tempted when I saw Red Sox 2007 World Champion Budweiser at the grocery store today.

  37. 2008 May 6 at 9:21 pm

    JACOBYYYYY

  38. 2008 May 6 at 9:21 pm

    Oh TIMLIN…

    I’m REALLY PULLING for ya, buddy.

    (speaking of geriatrics…)

    I hate myself for wincing.

  40. 2008 May 6 at 9:22 pm

    Only 98 pitches through 8? Wake was really rolling.

    Oh, Timlin…

  41. 2008 May 6 at 9:22 pm

    I’m actually glad I can’t see him pitch. It will bring my stress level down

  42. 2008 May 6 at 9:23 pm

    Awww, but mhc, I love gossip! LOL…

    That’s okay, some other time. For now, just enjoy your beer and cupcake (what a combination!).

    Timmeh, that is NOT what you’re supposed to do!

  43. 2008 May 6 at 9:23 pm

    C’mon, Mike, show us you can still do it.

  44. 2008 May 6 at 9:24 pm

    what’s the count?

  45. 2008 May 6 at 9:24 pm
    mhcranberry, MPH permalink

    Beer and cupcakes are the best.

    I eat them for breakfast, like, every day.

  47. 2008 May 6 at 9:26 pm

    ahhhh I hate this

    mhcranberry, MPH permalink

    AT THE HALF:

    CELTS 41, CAVS 37

    Also, my fav pitcher is up tomorrow, as Remy and Orsillo just reminded me. I am SO pulling for him.

  50. 2008 May 6 at 9:27 pm
