    Hey Jessi!

    Another MLBtv blackout for me today, so I’ll be trying to keep up on game day!!

    GO SOX!!!

  3. 2008 June 28 at 7:02 pm

    Hey there! I’ve had the Mets/NYY on TV this afternoon as background music to chores. Now I’m ready to sit down and hang out with our boys.

  4. 2008 June 28 at 7:03 pm

    Bethie, why would MLBtv be blacked out in NC? Not like we’re in either market…

    Have you gotten accustomed to the new improved Gameday yet?

    Bethie, if you are indeed in NC then I would try calling Customer Service. I was blacked out from the Philllies games (I live in NJ) and gave them a call. Took about 10 minutes and they found a mistake in the computer. I was then able to watch the Sox win =]

  6. 2008 June 28 at 7:08 pm

    Helloooo, Pedey! And everyone.

  7. 2008 June 28 at 7:08 pm

    PLEATS!

    Gameday is growing on me Faith. Still getting used to it.

    Apparently this game is part of the whole national blackout on Saturdays. If the start time is after 1:10PM or before 7:05PM (I’m guessing since it’s 6:05 in Houston) then it’s blacked out every where. It’s all FOX broadcastings fault!!! Wahhhhh..:D

    Bethie I’m watching the game on mlb.tv right now.

  10. 2008 June 28 at 7:14 pm

    Awww, that stinks, especially as FOX isn’t even showing this game, at least not around here.

    And I just called customer service and the Sox game is part of the national blackout for today. Ugh.

    Oh well.

  12. 2008 June 28 at 7:14 pm

    Then why is Jessi able to watch it? (head explode)

  13. 2008 June 28 at 7:15 pm

    I’m glad you can watch it Jessi. I can’t get it figured out and their nicely recorded message just basically told me I’m screwed. :)

    I’m so glad my money is going to good use.

  14. 2008 June 28 at 7:16 pm

    I did not enjoy that play.

  15. 2008 June 28 at 7:16 pm

    Hey guys!
    I won’t be on here too much since I have to fill out Thank-You cards.
    Ugh.

    But I thought I would say hi!

    Aww I’m sorry Bethie. If it makes you feel better the picture quality is dreadful.

  17. 2008 June 28 at 7:17 pm

    Yeah really…that MLBtv is pretty pricey, right?

    Nice catch JD!

  18. 2008 June 28 at 7:17 pm

    It’s Fat Elvis.

  19. 2008 June 28 at 7:18 pm

    Thank you cards for what, Mary? I can’t keep everyone straight sometimes — did you just graduate?

  20. 2008 June 28 at 7:18 pm

    And yes, sweet catch, my sweet Georgia Peach.

  21. 2008 June 28 at 7:19 pm

    That Fat Elvis is a beefy lad, he is.

    I’m on the phone with MLBtv technical support right now. I’m getting ready to chew someone’s ass.

    I’ll be back directly.

    Georgia Peach?

  24. 2008 June 28 at 7:21 pm

    Who’s Bethie kidding? If she’s otp with tech support, she’ll be lucky to be back for tomorrow’s game.

    Hahahaha

  26. 2008 June 28 at 7:22 pm

    He’s sweet, he’s from Georgia, and he has tawny-colored fuzz. So yes, Georgia Peach.

  27. 2008 June 28 at 7:24 pm

    That inning-ending play sounded like the Keystone Cops or something…mass chaos.

  28. 2008 June 28 at 7:24 pm

    Atta boy Mikey!

  29. 2008 June 28 at 7:25 pm

    Awww, fc, that’s cute! Those Southern boys are charming for sure.

    MyGlowal!

    funny fc. I work in technical support….so I know. :D

    And I hate talking to other technical support people, because they seriously talk down to me, and it makes me wonder if I sound like that when I talk to people. :D

  31. 2008 June 28 at 7:26 pm

    Bethis, I RUN tech support so the joke was on me.

  32. 2008 June 28 at 7:27 pm

    Sorry Bethie – typing skills aren’t required for tech support.

  33. 2008 June 28 at 7:32 pm
    Bethie permalink

    ha ha. I wish everything had spell check, don’t you fc?? :D

    Okay, so the little dude I talked to fixed my problem for tonight’s game. But he laughed at me when I asked him why I couldn’t watch the red sox play baltimore, since I live so close to them and all. *eye roll*

    I asked him since they had me blacked out from all Orioles games, if he was going to pay to fly me to Boston and Baltimore every time the red sox play them. Again a laugh. I’m glad I am so amusing. :D

    Now he thinks my favorite team is the Orioles. LOL

  34. 2008 June 28 at 7:42 pm

    Awww, poor Jon. Still hitless in the majors.

  35. 2008 June 28 at 7:43 pm

    Holy crap, that boy’s bat can’t miss!

  36. 2008 June 28 at 7:43 pm

    (Pedey’s of course. Not Jon’s)

  37. 2008 June 28 at 7:44 pm
    Bethie permalink

    At least he can put the bat on it. He hit that foul ball pretty hard.

    We’re just lucky he doesn’t bat like Colon does…. :D

  38. 2008 June 28 at 7:47 pm

    See? The red dread. It’s been there for a few weeks.

  39. 2008 June 28 at 7:49 pm

    …and maybe he should keep it. Go Manny!

  40. 2008 June 28 at 7:49 pm

    Yayy Manny!

  41. 2008 June 28 at 7:49 pm
