    Hey kids – anyone around yet?

  2. 2008 July 20 at 6:03 pm

    Yep, I’m here. Fixing a sandwich. Will probably spend the bulk of my time in the other room, where the TV is and where it’s cooler. So freakin’ hot here!

    I’m here. Just finished watching yesterday’s game. I was at work. Knew the score, but still enjoy watching Beckett.

    Hey!

    I’m here, but am working. Well, supposed to be working! It’s such a beautiful day out and I am really having to force myself to get work done. Obviously, I’m not being very successful ;-).

    Joe Morgan, that suit is soooooooooooo not made for TV.

    Now that’s the 1st time I have heard Pedroia called a stuffed toy from Fao schwartz.

    Did Peter Gammons say that Pedrioa looks like a stuffed toy from FAO Schwarz?

  8. 2008 July 20 at 6:05 pm

    These paper-doll-cutout montages are weird.

    I have heard ratboy and turtle, but not that.

    Pleats to Bonds, “Sorry about what I did to all your records at ASU.”

    LOVE that.

  11. 2008 July 20 at 6:06 pm

    I want a Pedeybear!

  12. 2008 July 20 at 6:06 pm

    Aaah, y’all beat me to the head-scratching about the FAO Schwartz comment. Bizarre!

  13. 2008 July 20 at 6:07 pm

    Nah, I would rather have a Pappybear, Tekybear, or Beckett bear.

  14. 2008 July 20 at 6:08 pm

    Youkiebear?

  15. 2008 July 20 at 6:08 pm

    Any Pedeybear should be required to come with a voicebox. When you push the paw, it says “WELCOME TO THE GUN SHOW” or “FUCK YEAH”.

  16. 2008 July 20 at 6:09 pm

    Papibear, Mannybear, and Babylugobear, says this Goldilocks. ;)

  17. 2008 July 20 at 6:09 pm

    I’ll take an Amaliebear, Texybear or fcbear myself

    Hey everyone!

    Nothing like a Red Sox game to get me jumpstarted on packing for home (Boston)!!! and somehow I started to clean out clothes drawers….

    Hope everyone had a great Sunday!

  19. 2008 July 20 at 6:09 pm

    Hey fc and TG, someone has a crush on you!

  20. 2008 July 20 at 6:10 pm

    nah just kissing ass :D

  21. 2008 July 20 at 6:11 pm

    That works too.

    Texybear comes with Beckettyboobear.

  23. 2008 July 20 at 6:12 pm

    21 straight road games with a hit for pedialyte

  24. 2008 July 20 at 6:12 pm

    Pedey is so freakin’ great.

  25. 2008 July 20 at 6:12 pm

    Pleats! Excellent hit. After the last couple games, I want to win this game in a big way.

  26. 2008 July 20 at 6:12 pm

    can we please look at some pitches and make him work a little

  27. 2008 July 20 at 6:13 pm
    Texas Gal permalink

    Oh, yeah – Pedeybear HAS to come wearing pleated pants. And with some salsa in his hand. And with a bald patch.

    Pitching around Manny? Please.

    When opposing pitchers would pitch around Bonds in SF, they’d put up rubber chickens on the wall in RF. ha.

  29. 2008 July 20 at 6:14 pm

    …and covered in dirt.

  30. 2008 July 20 at 6:16 pm

    I guess the ump is giving the outside corner today.

    No they didn’t just call Wakefield the “ancient one”?

  32. 2008 July 20 at 6:19 pm
    Texas Gal permalink

    Yes they did. HEY, TAKE A LOOK IN THE MIRROR, BUCK & MORGAN.

  33. 2008 July 20 at 6:19 pm

    Urg. Just woke up. The sound of those two voices? Not pleasant to wake up to.

    Did I miss anything of note in the top of the first?

  36. 2008 July 20 at 6:26 pm

    Well, we all became stuffed animals.

    Shallow moment: Jon Garland is smoking, smoking hot.

  38. 2008 July 20 at 6:31 pm

    When they called Wakey “ancient,” I found myself wondering what that makes me. But yeah, Buck and Morgan too. LOL…

  39. 2008 July 20 at 6:33 pm

    Would wakefield’s teddy bear be called a knucklebear.

    And fuck. vlad owns him

  42. 2008 July 20 at 6:33 pm

    suck x 2

    Someone change the gear on Wakefield’s arm from “homerun bombs” to “outs”.

  44. 2008 July 20 at 6:34 pm

    Aaaahhh shit. I hate when guys go B2B at our expense.

  45. 2008 July 20 at 6:34 pm

    Ian, I think Vlad owns everybody.

  46. 2008 July 20 at 6:35 pm
    Liza permalink

    No way–I thought that was a replay of Vladi’s when I noticed it was too close to the pen. /sleepy

    Also, all I could think of when I saw the ____bear was that “WHO’S MY CUDDLEBEAR!?” commercial.

    Sigh….

    This is gonna be another one of those games, I’m afraid.

  48. 2008 July 20 at 6:38 pm

    Bethie, is it ridiculously hot down there? Mid-80s here but feels much hotter for some reason.

  49. 2008 July 20 at 6:42 pm

    I think everyone needs to start using Pleats’ bat

  50. 2008 July 20 at 6:44 pm

    It is pretty hot down here. Been hovering around 90 all day.

    I’ve been inside in the AC. :)
