    crap. At least it wasn’t a 2-run HR.

  2. 2008 June 14 at 4:19 pm

    Alright Wake, cut the crap and kick some ass please.

  3. 2008 June 14 at 4:21 pm

    Well, that was an interesting inning for Wake. Gotta take the bitter with the sweet, I guess.

    In support of Tek through illness and travel woes, and my hamper full of dirty laundry, I’m wearing my Suffolk University Tek Support shirt today.

    Here’s a stupid question that surely someone here can answer: Why does Wake have his own personal catcher?

  8. 2008 June 14 at 4:28 pm

    ecl: knuckleballs.

    And it took real force of will to resist the comic possibilities of that straight line.

    (I LOVE JASON CASTRO. Strike-em-out, throw-em-out at first = yes.)

    Ecl, it’s because Tek, for all his awesomeness, has trouble catching the knuckler. Cash has crazy good hand-eye coordination, so he has an easier time.

  10. 2008 June 14 at 4:31 pm

    jules, I had a thought about Papi feeling that clicking: maybe it was when they changed the long cast for the shorter one.

  11. 2008 June 14 at 4:31 pm

    Because every pitcher needs a catcher. there ya go fc roll with that one

  12. 2008 June 14 at 4:36 pm

    Ah, okay, thanks! (cracking up at the comic possibiities)

    I’m worried about Papi.

  13. 2008 June 14 at 4:38 pm

    Yeah JD!

    C’mon, Youk, show your peeps what you can do.

    how to score runs not on base hits by the Boston Red Sox.

  19. 2008 June 14 at 4:42 pm
    Liza permalink

    So how did Jacoby score in the first?

  20. 2008 June 14 at 4:43 pm

    Not what I had in mind but as long as we’re in the lead…

  21. 2008 June 14 at 4:43 pm

    Yay, wild pitches!

  22. 2008 June 14 at 4:44 pm

    i told you liza. he stole second third and home on 3 straight pitches.

  23. 2008 June 14 at 4:45 pm

    Ian, the Gameday box is only showing one of those bases as a SB.

  24. 2008 June 14 at 4:46 pm

    I know it does. I’m messing with her since she’s a RED SOX fan that has chosen a college baseball game over the Red Sox.

    Fail by me there. I totally missed that. Thanks Ian.

  26. 2008 June 14 at 4:47 pm

    You rascal!

  27. 2008 June 14 at 4:48 pm

    Ian FTW

  28. 2008 June 14 at 4:48 pm

    he singled, went to second on a wp, stole third and came around to score on a throwing error.

    Thanks. :P

    just get another TV with cable or tell mom and dad to buy a PIP tv

    I’ve got two TV’s in the living room plus the one in the computer.

    PBA! With a 2-run homer!

    Wish we could get one of those right here.

    We do have another TV with cable–it’s just two floors down from here. The brother’s watching cartoons on it right now, I believe…

  33. 2008 June 14 at 4:56 pm

    Wake swinging a bat. Life is sweet.

  34. 2008 June 14 at 4:59 pm

    Liza’s brother is 30 and lives in the basement.

    I’m in the attic. And he’s 11. :)

  36. 2008 June 14 at 5:03 pm

    For Wake’s at bat, did I just hear “He bunts, foul, strike three?” How is a foul strike three?

  37. 2008 June 14 at 5:04 pm

    Oh, I lost a letter there. Question about Wake was from me.

  38. 2008 June 14 at 5:06 pm
    Texas Gal permalink

    If you bunt foul on a third strike, it’s an out.

  39. 2008 June 14 at 5:07 pm
    Texas Gal permalink

    (a strikeout, to be more specific)

  40. 2008 June 14 at 5:07 pm

    fc, I was wondering the same thing. Figured it’s just another of those obscure baseball rules that I’ve never learned about. Would be curious to know the answer to that question.

  41. 2008 June 14 at 5:07 pm

    Cross-post! Thanks, TG!

  42. 2008 June 14 at 5:09 pm

    Thanks TG!

    So what is DO doing today?

  44. 2008 June 14 at 5:17 pm

    Ouch. “Or perhaps it wasn’t the leg…”

  45. 2008 June 14 at 5:21 pm

    YOOOUUUUK

  46. 2008 June 14 at 5:23 pm

    DO is fishing in the river behind the ballpark.

  47. 2008 June 14 at 5:25 pm

    I’m sure Remy is happy not to spend a FOX Saturday in the hotel room.

    And what’s Heidi do on a day like today?
