    Quiet day, huh? Game is currently in a rain delay. Not sure for how long though.

    Hey Piney (and anyone else)…I’m here at work until 8:15 so am posting on the fly.

    How’s the radar up there? Does it look hopeful? I don’t have time to check, otherwise would take a look for myself. Anyway, if the delay lasts long enough I may not miss too much of the game. That would be nice. Will check in again before I leave the office…

    I hate rain delays! But I guess it would be good if you got to watch more of the game, ecl.

    Now mind you, I don’t want y’all to have to wait on my account! I was thinking that I’d miss at least the first three innings with the regular start time, though, so depending on how long the delay is, I may only miss two innings, or even less. At least it’s a Friday, so most of us don’t have to worry about the game going until later in the evening…

    Hi All! Checking in from the Hartford Airport – on my way to Baltimore for some Sox/O’s baseball (in a few days). ;D

    How psyched am I that the Jimmy Fund telethon made its $4 million goal already!?

    I agree, Angie. Our guys look just great in red!

    I’m gonna have to agree there, too. Love the red jerseys.

    Woah I just noticed Pedie’s scruff has gotten really thick! I was gone for a week and it looks totally different.

    Hey everyone!! Pet sitting for the neighbors, so just popping in for a minute.

    Woo hoo, red jersey night! Let’s hope Halladay doesn’t whoop our butts.

    Have fun everybody!

    They showed a closeup of Pedie’s scruff in an interview, and i burt out laughing. it’s 3x’s more ridiculous closeup.

    Looks like he’s a tough old Byrd.

    Correct me if I’m wrong, but Cash used to be #36 right?

  27. 2008 August 16 at 8:00 pm
    Cathy permalink

    Yeah he did, but he gave it to Byrd. And byrd is going to buy him a pair of shoes or something in return.

  28. 2008 August 16 at 8:00 pm
    Mac permalink

    Yup. Cash used to wear #36, but let Byrd have the number when the Sox got him. He’s gonna be wearing #30 now. It’s in the Globe, I think.

    Cathy permalink

    He was out!

    52 pitches for Halladay? Something needs to be done about that.

  31. 2008 August 16 at 8:24 pm
    Meghan permalink

    I was worried that keeping the ball in the park here would be a problem for Byrd…and so far my fears don’t seem to be unfounded:-(

    Dammit.

    Runs would be nice.

    Trying to multitask so haven’t been posting much.

  37. 2008 August 16 at 8:50 pm
    Cathy permalink

    I really don’t like Roy Halladay and his low pitch counts.

    Crap!

  38. 2008 August 16 at 8:53 pm

    I am out at my parents lakehouse and they are watching the olympics. I’m hooked the cable up to the computer out here to watch the game.

    Ian, that sounds idyllic…watching a game “out here” by a lake.

    I could swear that they were just playing zydeco music in the background on the NESN feed.

  41. 2008 August 16 at 9:02 pm

    it’s so relaxing out here. I’m ready for bed.

    ecl1958 permalink

    Ian, I’m jealous! I’m uploading a bunch of my old CDs onto my I-Tunes, and just got off the phone with my mom. My sister and family are in town from the West Coast, and tomorrow we’ll be getting together for the first time since Christmas (so I’ll miss the latter part of the game).

  43. 2008 August 16 at 9:09 pm

    I’m actually upset though. My dad just filled the hot tub up after their vacation so I have to wait until the morning to use it.

  44. 2008 August 16 at 9:12 pm
    ecl1958 permalink

    Ian, if you go to sleep right after the game you won’t miss it a bit!

  45. 2008 August 16 at 9:14 pm

    the earliest i’m going to bed is at least 11:30 since phelps swims again for #8 at 10:58 PM.

  46. 2008 August 16 at 9:15 pm

    DUSTIN!!!!

    Thanks for reminding me, Ian. I’ll have to keep an eye on the news from the Olympics a little later this evening.

    Gah, what a disappointing game. Hopefully tomorrow Red Sox do better. After all, I’m going to that game.
