    Oh and I found this amusing article about Beckett, thought you guys may also enjoy it:

    Beckett’s idea of humor – breaking his catcher’s face. Priceless.

    Baseball – sweet relief. I have launched into existential crisis in your absence. Make me shallow again!

  4. 2008 July 18 at 10:02 pm

    Jessi I had that up on my site a few days ago.

    For those about to rock we salute you….. great musical montage to start the unofficial second half of baseball

  5. 2008 July 18 at 10:03 pm

    Hey ladies and Ian! Glad to have my baseball back despite the horrible start time…

  6. 2008 July 18 at 10:04 pm

    I really need this. It’s been a rough week.

  7. 2008 July 18 at 10:05 pm

    Hmmph. I thought the MLB.tv freebie week went through tonight. Guess not. :( Gameday audio here we come.

    Oh I didn’t realize Ian. My friend actually discovered it today and showed me. I love reading articles about Beckett – they’re pretty interesting.

  9. 2008 July 18 at 10:06 pm

    Yes, occaisonally it’s good to supplement your daily CF reading with other blogs.

    Ian always likes to come on here and one-up me. First, he stole my video gig. Now, he’s claimed Beckett as his baseball boyfriend. Next thing you know, he’ll be wearing a shirt that says “I [Heart] the Cubs BUT I’m in [Heart] With Pat Burrell’s Butt”

    (waiting for the picture to be posted of Ian in this shirt…)

    Booo. Don’t the Angels know that we’re supposed to get to score every inning?

  15. 2008 July 18 at 10:13 pm

    Ouch, J.D…

    ecl, your freebie week should still work, mine is working for now at least

    I know this is lame to say, but it is really weird to look out my window at the pitch dark and rain storms… and then see clear, light skies on the TV.

  18. 2008 July 18 at 10:15 pm

    TG, I was just thinking, look, it’s light out there. Simple minds think alike?

    We’re easily entertained and/or distracted.

  20. 2008 July 18 at 10:17 pm

    Danielle, I’m not sure why it won’t let me on the TV freebie. I’m logged in and have tried twice and keep on getting the white screen with subscription offers. Beats me!

  21. 2008 July 18 at 10:17 pm

    Simple Minds, another 80’s reference for ecl, our connoisseur of pop culture.

    Aaaahh sheeeiitt.

  28. 2008 July 18 at 10:22 pm

    fc, ya lost me this time. And I can’t help it if I’m old. :(

    That Amica pitch zone is depressing.

    If he keeps pitching like this, I say Tito should go ahead and give JD the chance to pitch.

  31. 2008 July 18 at 10:31 pm

    This is frightening.

    Hey everyone. I’m stuck on the radio for tonight. Buch sounds like he’s pretty terrible. What’s going on?

  37. 2008 July 18 at 10:35 pm

    I think it’s an ice cream night for me…tummy isn’t happy enough for a drink right now.

    What sign do you suppose Tek is giving Clay?

    I’d imagine it’s “What-the-fuck-ever you can get within a foot of the strike zone, I’m not picky.”

  39. 2008 July 18 at 10:36 pm
    Texas Gal permalink

    It’s not pretty, Liza. His pitches are slipping all over the place – his changeups are hanging, his fastballs are not locating. It’s ugly.

    In other words, a perfect game for the radio.

    Thank GOD

    I think Tek should be making a little “P” with his fingers, as in “This is the letter that will be on your hat next start if you don’t get your shit together.”

    Yay for 37 pitch innings!

  42. 2008 July 18 at 10:38 pm

    See, I knew there must be a reason why I’m stuck with the radio!

  43. 2008 July 18 at 10:38 pm

    That inning took 30 minutes.

    Doesn’t sound like I’m missing too much, though. Yuck.
