Ugh.
JD, that did NOT help.
double fuck ian, you can’t get the correction right. it’s not you’re older brother. it’s your. double get your shit together will ya.
I wish Steve Phillips wouldn’t start talking about Travis Hafner during Red Sox coverage where they are NOT playing the Indians. Please and thank you.
Crap, 2 Twins runs.
LOL Jules, I wasn’t trying to make you bite at that.
I know better than to ask about age.
;-)
I still feel behind with game day :(
We already hear enough about Pronk when we ARE playing the Indians.
I’m so glad I have NESN.
I’m not liking this inning.
Who else is doing the game on ESPN? Dan Shulman and Orel Hershiser with Steve “I got fired by the Mets”.
Speaking of the Mets, they are planning to start Johan Santana on Friday night against the Yankees.
I have a friend that lives in Mass, and she keeps trying to talk me into moving there. It might be worth it just for the better sports coverage.
Your weather is much better. It’s fahking freezing here again today.
for a break in the action:
for the curious, here is my post about pedroia signing my jersey friday night at the metrodome. ;D
One other thing we get Jules on NESN is these annoying Olympia Sports ads.
I could almost trade your winters for our summers. I swear hell is cooler than NC in July/August.
Ian, I *HATE* those ads!
Y’all can have some of our heat. It’s in the 80’s today, but is going to be in the 100’s this week. Just hateful summer weather.
another break-in-the-action story:
a nice lady at the airport this afternoon saw me wearing my blue beckett t and came over to tell me that she’d just seen josh beckett – and had him sign an autograph for her 87-year-old aunt, which she showed me – and that he was with another ballplayer she didn’t recognize. we pieced together that it was lester flying to baltimore with beckett, ten gates away from where i was flying home. i did not have a chance to go see beckett (my flight was boarding when i learned of his being there) but it was so awesome to hear he was there – with lester – and the nice lady’s husband wanted me to know that they were both wearing cowboy boots. man, i love stuff like that. eee. ;D
yes, it was a great trip to the twin cities.
Oh I know that Bethie. When I was in NC last, it was like 100 plus outside and that was at the beach.
ooh Beckettand Lester in Boots??? Sweet.
I think I probably would have missed my plane. That’s too nice of a spying opportunity.
Cloudy, then gradually becoming partly cloudy, with a low around 42. Wind chill in the mid 30’s.North wind between 15 and 18 mph.
Someone needs to remind mother nature it’s May.
So Ian, if your prediction is correct, I’ll get to see #500. The Saturday and Sunday games are on TV here. I’m also planning to watch the Mets/NYY Sunday night. Overload? Naaaaah. BTW, Bethie and I are NOT having good weather down here. Cold and very windy. In the 40s last night, too cold for May in NC.
I must say, of the ESPN announcers, I don’t mind Orel Hershiser for some reason.
oh MAN dusty yikes! (!!!)
WOW. what a grab there by Livan.
what happened to DP? I’m watching on gameday.
That is unless it happens on Friday night ecl.
Our weather has been bizarre down here the past few weeks. I got to see the remnants of a tornado wall cloud pass by my house yesterday. Followed about 15 minutes later by hail. The 4th day of that we have had in 3 weeks. Weird.
I think Mother Nature is having a killer mood swing in the South.
That was quite a catch. He’s acting like his hand is sore.
DP just lined out to the pitcher – almost took his noggin off!
That’s what you get when you snag something right off one of our bats like that.
Bethie, you got that right about summers down here. I’m heat intolerant due to having MS. The ONLY reason I’m able to live here is because the mountains are just a tad cooler than everywhere else. Still, it’s pretty unbearable during high summer. There’s a part of me that wants to move back up north because one can always add layers when it’s cold. When it’s hot, there’s not much to be done about it.
Ian — NO! Not Friday night. :-(
That’s a great DP signing your shirt story, Jenny!
ellen – i am the luckiest girl who ever got lucky. ;D so so so psyched about it all, still. eee.
I think Pedroia signed Hernandez’ hand.
Gotta run! Time to do that cooking dinner thing (fajitas tonight).
I’ll take a plate of those fajitas
A nice effort, but more stranded runners.
c’mon, stickbug. EXECUTE F@#KING PITCHES. (love, josh)
BTW, Ian. Thanks for posting the Tito/Ortiz video from last nigh on your sitet. I had missed it. Totally worth locking up my piece of crap computer to see it! :)
ok, that could have been much worse.
let’s go, BATS.
Nice DP! Whew.
Okay, that commercial was just plain bizarre…the woman with the eyebrows. Geesh.
COME ON PEDEY!!!
way to battle, kiddo …
awww, RATS.
jennyA you have constructed a wonderfully concise narrative.
note to self: talking to yourself is cool!
;D
Hey everyone! Nice to see Casey back out there :)
How’d the runs score?
(I literally just got home from my softball game. Which was in the freezing cold. In May. Lots of fun.)
which runs? ours or theirs?
all I know is Manny got #498. The rest…I don’t know, doing the french homework :/
Uh… both? But Manny! Jeez–he has to stop hitting these things when I can’t be there to watch them.
you’re welcome bethie.
nice to see claynation go 1-2-3 for once tonight.
