play ball!
Over/under on how many blog posts and newspaper articles will talk about how this is a battle of old dudes and/or make an age joke?
what no rain today?! yay!
I for one, wish we could hear more about NASCAR during the pregame. I’m really crossing my fingers they have more in-booth interviews tonight… hopefully about NASCAR.
yup it’s the battle of the old timers!
Hey everyone!
i’m hoping for a big game for ellsbury.
am i being greedy?
Hey all…will be mostly in the other room but will, of course, check in during commercials and pitching changes. Hope everyone is doing well!
I’m gonna ask this now before i forget, but I wanted to know how/when the “Sweet Caroline” tradition started? I love that and was just curious
Naah, not greedy, Jenny! I’m hoping the same for Manny. For the whole team, actually, but you know how it is…
remy loves pedey as much as ME!
Yep, they’re at it already…”the oldest pitching matchup in history.”
re: Sweet Caroline – Wikipedia
(off to watch the game…)
Hey everyone!
TG on ESPN2 Nascar News they interviewed the Fenway Rousch drivers and Jon Lester
thanks TG. we went to a Greenville Drive game this summer and they played it there too. the replica Green Monster was pretty neat too!
Hey all. I’m pretty excited about seeing this pitching match up tonight. Cause I love Wakey, but RJ is pretty bad ass.
Here’s hoping for a good game. If it starts out bad, I will be forced to sleep through it like I did last night so that they might win. ;)
WOW those are ugly jerseys, arizona.
Thanks, Danielle!
So we had Byrnes + pornstache on Monday.
But no pornstache yesterday or today. I feel cheated.
Good evening, all.
waKe!
Who else is looking forward to the Tampa Bay series coming up?
nice work, wakey. three up, three down!
yea the grey’s are definitely the worst unis we have. but yay to no more ’stache for byrnesie!
do you think Paps might pull some shananigans down south?
(FYI–Formally starlightmusic)
Erin: I AM! Can’t wait to see what kind of “sneaky” retaliation they go for.
Erin, I can’t wait! I’m actually going to the second game so it will be a great first regular season game for me.
I wonder how close Beckett will pitch if he’s up against them…
hi, jacoby.
Do you suppose there’s a mullet under that cap?
Every time I see Randy Johnson pitch I think the same thing.
Damn, he’s huge.
I just hope there won’t be any cowbells at the games
nice hit!
Oh my god… his eye still looks terrible.
It’s okay, Youk–it’ll turn from black to yellow soon enough! :)
Oh, no sexy orange specs. Boo.
man, i love that smug little bastard. oh, pedey.
Does anyone else out there have kids?
dback announcers just said that in rj’s last 4 starts at fenway (all as a yankee) manny has hit a homer off of him every game. foreshadowing?!
Youk’s eye actually looks much better than I expected.
And every time I see Randy Johnson pitch all I can think is how unbelievably homely he is, “bless his heart.”
This is my favorite moment of the day: kids asleep and Red Sox on the tele. Only thing missing is the correct pitcher…
Youk has the glasses!
OH! Tito! Someone took your lunch money in 3rd grade? Oh, cruel, cruel world.
Oh, there’re the orange specs.
Yaaay sunglasses!
Hmmm…#49 and #51…are those their ages. (yuk, yuk, yuk)
haha ecl “bless his heart”
southern terms rubbing off on you?? Johnson does kinda look hobo-ish. Hmmmm.
And this is why I love Mikey
Hey everyone!
Wake v. Big Unit. LOVE THIS!
Long week–have a big demo (show and tell ;-) tomorrow and I’m working hard getting ready for it. Of course, the dummy data is full of Sox names. I have to keep myself amused.
starlight, yep. I’ve got a 12-year old daughter. I missed yesterday’s game because we had a Mommy-Daughter date. I hope she knows how much it meant that I missed Masterson ;-).
myglowal!
Woo hoo Coco!!!
So far I would say that Randy Johnson is not exactly fooling anyone.
Jules, I can’t wait until mine is old enough for Mommy-Daughter dates. :) I’m sure she can appreciate the sacrifice…my kids know every time Josh pitches.
How tall is Johnson?
