    Great montage, thanks!

    Hi All!

    I’m sooooooooooooooo glad it’s a night game–after this day, I *need* baseball. I *need* Commander Kick Ass.

    Bring it on.

    I’m glad you caught that because I forgot to set the DVR for the pregame show.

    B-Webb now 8-0

    Let’s go CELTICS

    I’m with you, jules – this has been a horribly crappy week for me. I need some Beckett STAT.

    Hey all, I can’t get into the actual list of comments for some reason. Anyway…I’m still at work and will be home in roughly 1/2 hour. Those of you who read my LJ entry from this afternoon will already be aware that I may be a bit scarce…but I’ll try to chime in sporadically during the evening. Will definitely have the radio. I hope that Josh is lights out and that our bats wake up at the right time.

    See y’all after awhile.

    Sorry you’ve had a crappy week, too, Texy. I’m so glad tomorrow is Friday. It’s my husband’s birthday, so I’ll get through work and enjoy the evening with him and our kidlet.

    I’m actually flying to Oklahoma tomorrow (retch) to see my brother graduate law school – and I can’t decide if I’m excited to see my family, or nauseous at having to go to Oklahoma.

    Happy early bday to your hubby!

    Hey all, I finally got home…just in time for Gameday to show me the third run. Yay for us! And congratulations, shark! And Texy, I hope you have a good and safe trip, in case I forget to say that later.

    Off to find something to eat…

    I bet Casey took them all to the C’s game too. And made them all wear bright orange t-shirts with “Casey’s Kids” written on them so he doesn’t lose track of the guys.
