    Good luck with the lawyer. I’ve been fortunate that the couple times I’ve needed a lawyer, i’ve had great ones.

    what would a baseball game be without our daily viva viagra ad.

    Why would anyone want to take a viagra during a Red Sox game unless you’re lined up so you both can watch the game.

    I forgot about that, Ian, while I was mired in my own week o’ suck. Glad it’s mostly(?) ok.

    And hey, what better place than Tex’s blog to trash lawyers. ;)

    I’m sure our Texy is a great lawyer. Plus I could never trash her. She’s the bestest.

    thanks ecl, it’ll all work. it always does. Just not at the pace i’d like.

    and fc your week will get better, the Red Sox return home next Friday so it’s something to look forward to.

    It’s Life Be in It day in Newington today by the way. Fireworks tonight.

    Ian, wish you could’ve told that “nice one” to the guy I met last Friday at Fenway. /oops, TMI

    I second that question, jules.

    You’re welcome, fc and Ian.

    I’m looking forward to the return to Fenway myself. The West Coast schedule means basically no baseball for me during most of this coming week.

    OMG, Life Be In It Day!
    I cannot sully the solemnity of the holiday with sordid details of my escapades.

    Oh, very excited about the Red Sox coming home cause I have tickets to Friday night’s game!!

    Jules, do tell.

    so you will be sporting your madonna mask on Friday night at the Fens starr

  22. 2008 July 19 at 5:07 pm
    starr4 permalink

    YES!!! And, toting a birthday sign for one of my friends! Care to venture who’ll be pitching? I think it’ll be Wake but I’m not positive. Big Papi is slated to return that evening.

  23. 2008 July 19 at 5:08 pm
    fc permalink

    I will b e there too. I do not own a Madonna mask. I do own several Madonna CD’s however, which is probably worse.

    Awwww, Manny. I heard you SMACK that thing. Too bad…

    Why do we keep lining lasers right to their fielders?

    We could meet for an overpriced beer, if you want.

    BTW, Beckett is kicking ass today.

    Yay for Papi returning — and games on TV next weekend so I can see him with my own eyes! :D

    Starr it should be Beckett on Friday night, Wake on Saturday and Dice-K Sunday.

    Ian, I think Boston may be copying Newington.

    Don’t tell me Beckett is pitching Friday. I was supposed to be at that game. Our plans changed and we had to sell our tickets. grrrrrrr

  31. 2008 July 19 at 5:17 pm
    starr4 permalink

    No!!!! Ya think I could get that lucky? I’m getting a lottery ticket, or maybe I shoulda done that when I bought the tix in Jan/Feb?

    Bats are flying way, way, way too far into the infield upon splitting this year.

  32. 2008 July 19 at 5:20 pm
    Ian permalink

    Buchholz is pitching the final game in Seattle. And Beckett followed Buchholz so logic would be with the off day on Thursday that Beckett pitches Friday.

  33. 2008 July 19 at 5:22 pm
    ecl1958 permalink

    Wow, fc — Robert Randolph is playing the one in Boston? Good deal!

  34. 2008 July 19 at 5:22 pm
    Ian permalink

    that’s pretty funny fc. I remember those days of going to Life Be in It then heading to the fireworks. Then when we alll turned 21, it was sitting in the beer tent all day until the fireworks.

  35. 2008 July 19 at 5:23 pm
    jules permalink

    starr, you can find the probable starting pitchers here. They don’t have Friday’s game up yet, tho.

  36. 2008 July 19 at 5:25 pm
    Ian permalink

    Including today, here is the next 5 starters:

    Sat-Beckett
    Sun-Wake
    Mon-Lester
    Tue-Dice-K
    Wed-Clay

    off-day on Thursday.

    Gotta run…hubby and I are going golfing in a bit and I need to get ready.

    GO SOX!

    Thanks. I am now officially in shock that I may get to see Beckett pitch live and in person. Here, I could faint, or just be overheated.

    Hm, I thought that pitch looked good. K!

    Yanks just won on a walk-off HBP

    oops. they won a walk-off HBP with the bases loaded

    where’s the strike zone at right now?

  47. 2008 July 19 at 5:56 pm
    starr4 permalink

    Indeed? Did it move? Is it mutable?

  48. 2008 July 19 at 5:57 pm

    Seems movable.

  49. 2008 July 19 at 5:57 pm

    scioscia is about to get tossed if there’s one more close pitch not called a strike

    Well he got his wish on that one. :(
