    Sorry the gamethread was late today. Work. You know.

    Speaking of which – anyone else checking in covertly while at the office?

    Have been looking at Gameday off and on for awhile, and just now checked in here again. Pleasantly surprised to see a thread up, and ecstatic at the current score. I’ll pop my head in here again after awhile (lots to do at work), and almost certainly will be watching parts of this game on Archives this evening! :D

    Day games, while infinitely more fun to go to, make me sad because then I have no baysbawl to relax with at home after work.

    I don’t get to go to live games, really, unless I want the local single-A, but I do hate missing taking part fully in the cameraderie of gameday threads when I’m stuck at work…but it seems that perhaps everyone else around here is in the same position.

    Lucky you, Jennie. I think I jinxed the game by saying, a few minutes ago, that I was ecstatic at the current score. :(

    Way to go, guys! Am I reading Gameday correctly (just checked in again)…did Jacoby actually get to 2nd on an error?

    Hey guys! Ecl, he flew out to centerfield and the guy missed the ball because he couldn’t see (lots of sun).

    I’ll give them some of our leaden skies, but they wouldn’t want the rain that is coming with it. :)

    Lindsay permalink

    were mikey and casey running as if it was going to drop and he meant that they just would’ve had to throw it to 2nd and 3rd for a triple play?

  33. 2008 July 9 at 4:10 pm

    What a wacky day at Fenway! It really is amazing to see Manny make one little adjustment and go right back to killing the ball…
