    So, Texy, do they actually air condition the park when the roof is closed? I can’t even begin to imagine what that would involve…

    LOL about “Fat Elvis.” I can see it, looking at his roster photo.

  8. 2008 June 27 at 8:42 pm

    Nice, Dice! It’s just that simple.

    COCO!

    Yup – the park is A/C’d when the roof is closed. They’ll blow fans when the roof is open, to keep that thick heavy air from getting stagnant – but it’s not A/C’d all the way. Their utility bills must be outrageous.

    ecl: I have long (like, waist length) hair – so I can definitely sympathize.

    Yes, I’m behind. Yes, it’s probably because of the Jameson.

    Dice- K at bat!

  12. 2008 June 27 at 8:45 pm

    Long hair + summer is why God gave us hair sticks.

  13. 2008 June 27 at 8:50 pm

    PEDEY! Nice hit! Nice slide!

    TG — I can imagine. Long hair and 90+ = ouch.

    Hair sticks? (I’m so confused)…

    How bad do you think it annoys other baseball fans that there are always enough Red Sox fans at away games to get a nice “Let’s go red sox” chant going???

    I bet it really pisses them off.

    JD DREWWW – nice way to break out of a mini-slump!

  24. 2008 June 27 at 8:52 pm

    (Which reminds me, someone I know has a DREWWW sign with my name on it.)

    Apparently, my roommate invited hockey dude and his brother over to watch the game – so I must run. Let’s hope this 3-run lead holds. Or gets bigger.

    YAY JD! Gameday and WRKO are slow…but I figured that’s what happened. Now doesn’t it figure that JD was the 4th batter, not the 3rd…otherwise somebody-or-other would have won something, per WRKO’s blabbering before this inning.

  28. 2008 June 27 at 8:53 pm

    Hair sticks changed my life.

  29. 2008 June 27 at 8:55 pm

    that’s funny fc. they changed mine too.

  30. 2008 June 27 at 8:58 pm
    ecl1958 permalink

    Now I know what you’re talking about, fc. They look really sharp. Long hair makes me look dreadful so I will never again have anything but short hair, so I won’t be attempting to figure them out. By which I mean, I’m very challenged when it comes to figuring out spatial relations by touch alone, as they describe in those instructions.

  31. 2008 June 27 at 8:59 pm

    See, I can have long hair OR short hair with those things, ecl.
    And apparently so can Ian.

    Am I hallucinating, or did Dice-K just walk their pitcher????

    Huh??

  33. 2008 June 27 at 9:03 pm

    I’d love that option too, fc, if I didn’t look truly horrible with long hair. No doubt you look fine both ways.

    LOL at Ian and his hair sticks.

  34. 2008 June 27 at 9:03 pm

    Nope Bethie, you’re not hallucinating.

  35. 2008 June 27 at 9:05 pm

    I’m still wondering if I was hallucinating about the spelling correction in the RSN commercial.

  36. 2008 June 27 at 9:08 pm

    Nice hit YOOOOOUk

  37. 2008 June 27 at 9:21 pm

  40. 2008 June 27 at 9:25 pm

    I’ve been eating finger food for a few…didn’t want to grease up my keyboard! I know Liza is off on a jaunt. Where are the other young’uns?

  41. 2008 June 27 at 9:26 pm

    Well we know our host is off cavorting with hockey-playing types.

  42. 2008 June 27 at 9:27 pm

    Oh, she was included — that’s great! I wasn’t sure if she meant her roommate kicked her out so roomie could cavort. That must’ve been the hockey guy who is their neighbor?

  43. 2008 June 27 at 9:28 pm

    Um, and his brother, so I presume she was included, unless…never mind.
