    Sox have a shortstop and a RHP so far in the draft.

    Anyone know if there’s a reliable, up-to-the-minute draft-tracking program online, other than MLB.com’s? That one makes my computer freeze.

    Oh my god. GENIUS Mass Lottery commercial. Video goodness? Pretty please?

    Of course!

    Thank you! Whoever came up with that is amazing.

    Everyone saw the giant spelling error in the Red Sox Nation commercial, right? I think that deserves a post all to itself.

    YAY! NESN on mlbtv!!!!

    Hey everyone!

  8. 2008 June 5 at 6:04 pm

    TG – In which commercial? I don’t really watch that closely…

  9. 2008 June 5 at 6:12 pm

    which rsn commercial has the spelling error? and what mass lottery ad did i miss. i’m late to the party since i was trying to get my tv tuner updated.

  10. 2008 June 5 at 6:13 pm

    and no i won’t steal your idea :D

  11. 2008 June 5 at 6:15 pm

    I’m cracking up at the bat. Pleats accidentally tossed it when he got hit and it smacked the ump on the helmet.

  12. 2008 June 5 at 6:16 pm

    JD is freakin’ HOT right now.

  13. 2008 June 5 at 6:18 pm

    Manny!!

  14. 2008 June 5 at 6:18 pm

    ummmmmmmmmmm that was crushed

  15. 2008 June 5 at 6:21 pm

    Yay Sean!

    Just leaving the office. It would figure that when I’m not home to “watch” the game as it happens, Manny would go yard again. Replays here I come…

    See you all in a few.

  17. 2008 June 5 at 6:34 pm

    So is anyone else actually… here?

    Crap, Lester. Cmon.

  18. 2008 June 5 at 6:36 pm

    Weird inning for Lester so far. Two outs followed by three straight hits, one of which scored that run. He needs to settle down.

  19. 2008 June 5 at 6:39 pm

    Well this is interesting.

  20. 2008 June 5 at 6:40 pm

    Holy crap.

  21. 2008 June 5 at 6:40 pm

    I might be alone on this, but I think Crisp is a bit of a thug. I’ve never really liked him personally (I have stories), and this is sort of sealing the deal.

  22. 2008 June 5 at 6:41 pm

    well well

  23. 2008 June 5 at 6:42 pm

    These Rays like brawling. Huh. Feisty little things.

    Wow, that almost hit him in the balls.

    Jeez–they all started punching each other. It wasn’t just Shields and Coco, it’s everyone else.

  24. 2008 June 5 at 6:42 pm

    coco had like 4 guys on top of him

  25. 2008 June 5 at 6:42 pm

    I also don’t get fans applauding the behavior overall. The whole thing is stupid. Don’t cheer for this nonsense.

  26. 2008 June 5 at 6:43 pm

    i hope someone fucking nails carl crawford in the head

  27. 2008 June 5 at 6:43 pm

    Well, this game just got interesting.

  28. 2008 June 5 at 6:43 pm

    Hah. Shields is gone too.

    I guess Jacoby goes to center and Chris Carter goes into left?

  29. 2008 June 5 at 6:44 pm

    Seconded, Ian.

  30. 2008 June 5 at 6:44 pm

    Both these teams are going to have a few suspensions. Crisp should have known better, since we need all our outfielders.

  31. 2008 June 5 at 6:45 pm

    Given the comments yesterday about Crawford’s knee, a shot to the head isn’t necessary (or recommended). Just hit him in the leg and he’ll be out for a while.

    Hey so could someone explain what happened….. Im in FL with no visual just Gameday which only says on field delay

  33. 2008 June 5 at 6:46 pm

    there will be a lot of suspensions on guys who dont get ejected in the days coming.

  34. 2008 June 5 at 6:47 pm

    coco got hit. charged the mound. big brawl

  35. 2008 June 5 at 6:48 pm
    Danielle permalink

    lovely… no surprise though after last night

  36. 2008 June 5 at 6:48 pm

    Coco got hit in the leg, and instead of taking it, he decided to charge the mound. Coco has been wrong in this thing all along, and this just makes it worse. His teammates have to come out to defend him, so now he’s earned some suspensions for his teammates, too. Way to go, ass.

  37. 2008 June 5 at 6:49 pm

    i think i saw justin masterson in the middle of that trying to pull guys off unless that bald head was brad mills

  38. 2008 June 5 at 6:49 pm

    Ian, that was definitely Masterson. Mills isn’t that big.

  39. 2008 June 5 at 6:50 pm

    Is Navarro not ejected? You didn’t need a replay to see that he should be the first one ejected.

    Hey guys! Just walked in the house. turned on SportsCenter, and here “Coco Crisp rushed the mound and threw a punch” WHAT HAPPENED?! I can’t believe I missed it!

    *hear (not here)

  42. 2008 June 5 at 6:51 pm

    If Lester hits a guy tonight, I will be pissed. These are grown men out there, right? Could any of them consider growing up?

  43. 2008 June 5 at 6:51 pm

    Damn Navarro…I’m so mad he isn’t getting kicked outta the game!

  44. 2008 June 5 at 6:52 pm

    Navarro was only doing his job. He gets a free pass. Gomes, Iwamura, and Crawford? Screw them. Ganging up like that is shitty especially with teh head punches of Crawford.

    This game will be interesting

  45. 2008 June 5 at 6:52 pm

    Holding down Crisp might have been Navarro’s job. Throwing four punches to his head certainly was not.

  46. 2008 June 5 at 6:52 pm

    Can someone give a little summary of the changes now? Like who’s ejected etc?

    That was about 8000000 shades of unnecessary. 3 guys on Coco punching him is just not right.

    Even Julio Lugo getting punched…..are you for real??

  47. 2008 June 5 at 6:53 pm

    Word, piney. Navarro is cool. Gomes and Crawford need to get the BOOT. Crawford, especially- everyone here has heard me rail about what a douche he is.

  48. 2008 June 5 at 6:53 pm

    Aw, Jacoby tried to pull them all away. And is it just me or did a whole bunch of guys get all over DeMarlo Hale?

  49. 2008 June 5 at 6:54 pm

    My mistake. Gomes was throwing those punches, not Navarro.

  50. 2008 June 5 at 6:54 pm

    Hey everyone. Wow this is an interesting game so far. Did Gomes get kicked out of the game?
