Does it get any better than this pitching matchup? Dan Haren is a god. Of course, Becketty Boo is THE god.
Texy did you catch the musical montage they started the pre-game show with at 6. A classic one.
It should be a great pitching matchup. This is one game you wish you had a ticket for because it could be one to remember.
Be back soon, off to KFC for chiptole chicken.
Yes, Ian – I loved it. I mean, obviously the Becketty Boo parts – but also where they kept showing Haren whiffing various Mets. WHEEE!
UGH. ANOTHER RAIN DELAY. WHY AM I TYPING IN ALL CAPS?
I’m still here. I wonder if they are going to play the whole thing this time.
I’m hoping for a real pitchers’ duel tonight. I need something to cheer me up right about now. That being said, I hope the bats can actually function with guys on base today.
Nope. I got the first part, and then the part they played during pregame. But they should just play it start to finish for us.
Nope I guess not. It’s the same video they showed during the Monster Monday segment. Now I’m off to KFC.
Liza – I know. I’d ultimately like a 1-0 ballgame… with the Sox winning, of course.
Yeah I think you and I have essentially the same video up. I’m actually looking forward to tomorrow’s game with all the RemDawg moments.
rain?! ugh…the pitchin duel will have to wait i guess.
I ended up getting pretty much the full thing in my post, just not in one continuous clip. The beginning is maybe the funniest part – with the two of them running (in black and white) across the field.
and is anyone watching the espn feed or is it still being shown on nesn?
So they’ve already called rain delay? I’m not surprised, based on the radar I looked at about an hour ago. Any time estimates?
ecl: They said it would be at least 30 minutes.
Rachel: NESN here.
TG, a 1-0 game would be perfect right about now. Maybe they’ll both take perfect games through the ninth, only Drew will go deep with two outs. :P
Ecl, 30-45 minutes.
ah. i think im going with the hometown fsn az feed rather than listen to the espn guys remind me of how god-awful we’ve been lately. here’s hopin for a good game! (sooner rather than later too)
Liza, which Drew? of course i know which one you’re probably rooting for but it’s always interesting to see brothers squarin off!
“Kobe – tell me how my ass tastes” is the quote of the year, in my opinion.
Oh! I forgot to specify. I forgot about Stephen. I meant JD, as I’m sure you guessed.
Texas Gal: is that the Shaq thing? i just walked into that on espn i think hahaha
Greetings, all. Seeing as there’s a delay let me get the husband’s dinner together so I can ogle Josh–uh, I mean watch the game with a clear conscience. :D
Rachel: Yup. HI-larious.
Hey everyone. I just turned NESN on. Rain delay. again! I wish we had rain out here. The air is horrible because of the wild fires. It’s nasty.
My MIL sent a photograph of her with my husband at game 6 of the 1975 World Series at Fenway. It’s framed with the ticket stubs. Can you believe that the tickets were $12.50? That would be around $50 in today’s money–for the WS!
ecl, they’re showing the Manny highlights again. I’m not complaining ;-)
another envier of the rain here–it was 110 degrees in the shade earlier–in the shade!
yay the tarp is off!
Shaq: “I’m totally cool with Kobe. No issue at all.”
SHAQ. I’m disappointed. Everyone knows you two hate each other – all tracing back to the day he ratted you and your hookup tendencies out to the CO police to deflect attention from, you know, raping someone. Just admit you hate him. Own it. Live it. Love it.
Ah, another Westerner, I see, Rachel! Those temps…yikes.
NESNers, I’m jealous…Manny highlights. nngh! ;-)
So I get a little extra bit of time to have an appetizer, change clothes, prep for an appointment tomorrow and still enjoy the whole game. That’ll work!
Sean dropped his appeal of the suspension, I see.
TG, why in the world would Shaq’s “hookup tendencies” be of any interest to the police? What a silly thing for Kobe to say.
Espn is showing the Mets game while we wait. Surprisingly I am a Mets fan also, so not so bad.
I’m watching the College World Series. GO BULLDOGS!
yeah hope you guys don’t mind a dbacks fan crashin your board tonight! : ) i really like the sox too tho so dont gimme a hard time when the sox steamroll us haha
Rachel, at least you’re not a Yankees fan (or Dodgers ;-).
Fans of other teams are always welcome.
Beckett, yum yum.
The Mets are A-OK with me too, Karen. I’m looking forward to watching them in the Subway Series this coming weekend, if I can make the time to do so.
blah an alternate game would be cool on espn! but apparently they don’t think local residents would want then since im looking at black
sweet thanks! and ewww no down with the yanks and dodgers (and rockies!)
I’ve got ESPNews on ESPN, instead of a black screen.
Hence watching the CWS.
TG – Which Bulldogs? Myself, I like the Fresno ones. Now that Stanford’s out, anyway…
Fresno St winning the CWS would be hilariously awesome.
But, yeah- I said “GO BULLDOGS” as a joke, since they both are. And red Bulldogs, at that.
At least it’s not LSU or Rice.
that dasterdly fresno team…wiped out my asu…go georgia!
OH GOD NO NOT THE BRAVES
Erin Andrews is at the CWS? Awesome.
Also: PING! Whee!!
Yeah, I got the Braves now too. My Aunt is a chipper fan so I have seen them more than I wish. I went for food, I wasn’t going to starve through a game again like yesterday.
We’re on! Woo Sox baseball!
Be glad you don’t live where I do, Trish…definitely in the Braves market. Sometimes my cable has not one but TWO channels simultaneously showing their games. I just can’t get into those guys no matter how hard I try. :-(
Still Braves, oh man.
