    Just rolled in from VA Beach. Dear God, Buck Martinez is doing color on TBS (hooks up headphones to listen to MLB feed).

    Did anyone see Bronson a few minutes ago professing his love for Fenway Park?

    Ah, what’s not to love about Tek!?! “The camo was real fun!”
    This in response to Watney’s question (NESN) on the special Catchers gear he’ll be wearing this Father’s Day.

    I did not need to know Wake colors his hair.

    Is there a happier man on the planet than Sean Casey?

    Hi all…something is seriously wrong with my cable at the moment. I had on TBS and after Sleepless in Seattle they indicated that the game was next…and now what is showing on TBS but CNN Headline News (I checked to see if the channels somehow were reversed and Headline News is also in its customary spot). Off to call my cable company and raise Cain. :-(

    Oops. Computer behaving badly. Apologies for the double post.

    Do heart Casey!

  12. 2008 June 15 at 1:14 pm

    starr, do you have the hiccups?

    Hi fc, yep or something like that. :)

  14. 2008 June 15 at 1:16 pm

    Ellsbury off to a great start again.

    Go Jacoby!!! Nice steals.

  16. 2008 June 15 at 1:18 pm

    Unbelievable – he can’t be stopped!
    For ecl’s benefit: he got a single, then stole second, then stole third!

  17. 2008 June 15 at 1:21 pm

    YAY Jacoby!

    Thanks for the update fc. I too am without baseball resources today. :)

  18. 2008 June 15 at 1:22 pm

    Wow, we’re beating up Bailey.

  19. 2008 June 15 at 1:22 pm

    That’s good to know, fc — I see he scored.

    Hi Y’all!

    We just got home from church and put the game on just in time to see Ellsbury score.

    Happy Father’s Day to all the dads. God bless you!

    My late father is who gave me my love for baseball by taking my brother and I to see the Giants play. I remember learning everything from how to score games to ticking off the fans by cheering for the Dodgers ;-). Yeah, i learned to be a smart ass from my Dad, too. I miss you Dad.

  21. 2008 June 15 at 1:25 pm

    here’s a treat for y’all….

    Well my Dad didn’t give me my love for baseball but he did take me (& family) to my first Red Sox game. So thanks, Dad.

    So, after trying to sell me bundled telephone service (SHUT UP I WANT MY BALL GAME), the customer service agent has sent a signal to my cable box. If I don’t get TBS back by 2:00 I’m supposed to call them back. Grrrr…have never had this channel bleed in 10+ years with this cable company. It happened at a really. bad. time.

    The MLB feed of RKO is lagging behind TBS big time.

  27. 2008 June 15 at 1:29 pm

    ecl…ugh! I feel for you. That would drive me crazy. I have so little patience for poor customer service, especially when they’re trying to sell me something.

  28. 2008 June 15 at 1:30 pm

    WRKO always lags way behind…even worse than Gameday. Sometimes you guys are talking about a play and it’s already up on Gameday and WRKO is still on the previous batter!

  29. 2008 June 15 at 1:31 pm

    Jules, unsolicited sales pitches are one of my major pet peeves.

  30. 2008 June 15 at 1:33 pm

    How bout unsolicited sales pitches on a game day thread

    ecl want to save money by switching your car insurance to Geico. ;)

  31. 2008 June 15 at 1:33 pm

    Ha, the crowd has to be told when to cheer.

    Come on, Josh!

    LOL..Remy on the crowd noise.

    Gotta run.

  33. 2008 June 15 at 1:33 pm

    Ouch, was that Youk’s or Lugo’s error?

  34. 2008 June 15 at 1:33 pm

    Only if I can keep the gecko, Ian.

  35. 2008 June 15 at 1:34 pm

    there’s a shocker….another lugo error.

  36. 2008 June 15 at 1:34 pm

    Should have tossed it to Pedroia, he was in a better position. Dumbass.

  38. 2008 June 15 at 1:35 pm

    Maybe we should start calling him by the number of errors… E14.

    Crap–the second TBS flashed up the “Josh Beckett hasn’t given up a walk in the first inning this year” I knew he was screwed.

  40. 2008 June 15 at 1:38 pm

    trish that was lowell at second. they were in the shift.

    remy explained that perfectly. he should have gone across the bag and then thrown it over.

    Except for Josh and Tek I can’t tell any of the Sox apart with a casual glance. ;)

  42. 2008 June 15 at 1:40 pm

    Did Josh have his Wheaties this morning?

  43. 2008 June 15 at 1:40 pm

    I am sure you can tell Manny apart too. :D

    I should have clarified “Sox who are playing right now.”

  48. 2008 June 15 at 1:43 pm

    And at least one other but she’s being SO well behaved, I won’t go there.

  49. 2008 June 15 at 1:43 pm

    We’ll have to give you a tutorial, Trish. Many of them are distinctive looking…Youk, Pedie, Lugo, Lowell especially.

  50. 2008 June 15 at 1:43 pm

    C’mon, Trish, get it out of your system.
