Liza– I don’t think that question is creepy. Anyways, I used to ride in the 6th-8th grade (actually, it was with the friend that I went to the Paw Sox game with) but then I started playing softball and I started choosing sleeping over waking up early to go riding and stuff. My sister is the real horse person, but sometimes I go to the barn and ride a little.
And do you like Carlos Gomez? I really love him. Just throwing this out there- he’s adorable. And go figure he’s a centerfielder. I love Mauer, too.
And ftr, JD’s bat got hot as soon as his boy was out of the body cast.
bahahha, nice catch.
Better safe than sorry. And that’s awesome–I’ve been taking lessons for almost four years and I totally love it. Of course, my teacher’s at college now so I haven’t actually been taking lessons this winter, but I still ride when I can and love love love it when I can.
Yeah! Gomez is awesome.
Nice catch. Wow.
that was pretty fahkin funny
And fc, don’t forget, his wife was pregnant throughout the entire season. She had the kid (a girl) literally a few days after JD got home from the victory parade in Boston.
Choco, YES to the Carlos Gomez question!
The only part about him I don’t like, aside from him not playing for the Sox, is that he has the same last name as Scott Gomez (Scotty used to play for the NJ Devils, but then he went to the Rangers).
goes to show how hard his son’s disability hit him
his wife also had a very hard pregnancy as well plus having to take care of his son too. It’ll wear on ya. They are human after all
He’s a family-oriented guy, I think. He grew up in a town with about 1,500 people, in any case.
Here’s an article on Drew with a bunch of good quotes.
Celtics down 2 at the half.
CLEVELAND’S ASDRUBAL CABRERA RECORDED AN UNASSISTED TRIPLE PLAY IN THE TOP OF THE FIFTH INNING against the blue jays. IT WAS THE 14TH UNASSISTED TRIPLE PLAY IN MAJOR LEAGUE HISTORY.
…with Troy Trevor Tulowitzki being the 13th!
Did you see the segment on The Ultimate Red Sox Show where he goes back to his hometown?
I was talking about J.D. Drew, by the way.
Yes, I did! Both parts.
I have that up on my blog somewhere Choco and I’m too lazy to look up what posts it is in. I’m sure it’s up on NESN’s site though since they revamped it.
I didn’t realize Drew was so religious; he cried during Passion of the Christ:
“The film moved Drew in ways he’d never felt. There, on the big screen, was the man to whom he had devoted his life; a man who suffered and suffered, then finally fulfilled his destiny. Besides causing tears to stream down Drew’s cheeks, it gave him a new perspective.
“I’ve had my trials and tribulations,” he says. “But whatever happens, in the end I’m just a baseball player. I’m not the savior. I’m not special. I’m just human. I can only be me.”"
and i meant to add, they showed that way back in the beginning of the spring training.
He’s quite religious–he met his wife at his hometown’s church. Most of them are.
Hi everyone. just got back from work. What the hell happened? We are on our 3rd pitcher? wow.
*them = baseball players.
I am so tired.
-sniffs- this just makes me want to give JD a big ole hug right now
Here’s the video on your site, Ian:

(Your search feature works really well!)
They first played that segment back in December, I think – and ran it through spring training… and they’ve been playing it again.
It’s still cute – and I’ve seen it 5 or 6 times.
J.D. Drew is so freaking cool.
My pastor referred to him in a sermon once. Something about his post season grand slam.
Ian, I think they even showed a piece of it – maybe just a teaser? – during the winter meetings.
like i said NJ, I’m too lazy to go look. I can only multitask so much. I’m working on my softball site, watching the Red Sox and the Celtics plus watching the Indians/blue jays game.
It’s adorable. I’m not religious, personally, but the parts where he talks about his family and his childhood are just so cute.
Hey, speaking of which…
jenny, I just saw your post about Beckett…I would have slept in the airport to get him to sign my shirt. Sad I know but he’s my fave
Haha- Don and Remy!!
the link is part 2 that you posted NJ. Luckily for once i was smart enough to post a link to the first video.
D.O. stole pajamas from Japan Airlines. These guys must be bored. talkign about D.O’s packing skills.
oh God I love watching NESN and hearing Orsillo and Remy argue about stolen pjs
they’re great pjs. they’re soft
Remy is just going on and on and on about the whole pajamas thing…
Remy loves travelling.
Ian–Oops…I guess I should have noticed that if I read the line above it…
You with bat & gloves…
That should be:
YouK with bat & gloves…
someone call Japanese Airlines and report him. LOL.
di – yeah, i’m kind of regretting my decision to be responsible and get on my plane this afternoon. i was wearing my beckett t, too! should’ve taken one for the team and gone looking for him. ;D could’ve been epic if the airline had had to page me to get the hell on my flight …
i call a do-over! ;D
If I could I would call a do over for you and send you my shirt as well. I’ve been hinting to my bro to try and get me an autograph [insert item here] from Becks for my bday. We’ll see how that goes
Yeow–I hope he’s okay. Ankle rolls are freakin’ painful.
Nice Coco catch, that was.
And nice running catch by Coco.
Nice play by Cora there. E-6 take notes
LOL Ian.
Look at those empty stands!
I love how Remy slipped that investigation into the commentary
jenny: SO close (and yet so far away) :)
I found out a few weeks ago that the daughter of a close family friend is dating a Sox pitching prospect — and since he’s (the prospect) also from the Houston area, he’s tight with Beckett. I will shamelessly work that connection, yes.
