    Something must be wrong with me that I’m hanging on Beckett’s every word while he’s talking about sleeping with a cast on.

    Beckett has to sleep with a cast on?

    Hiya Jenny (and everyone else). Am in multitasking mode here but will be poking my head in intermittently today.

    Docs want him to keep his arm straight while sleeping. He didn’t seem too happy about it. o.0

    Come on, Youk!

    STRIKE? A STRIKE? I may go off on that ump.

    How was THAT a strike?

    Well that sucked.

    OK, Lester, show ‘em what you got. Three up, three down here, kiddo.

    I wonder how long Coco is going to let his hair grow. It’s getting pretty long

  16. 2008 August 23 at 1:27 pm

    I hope he keeps it long, Cathy. I love the microbraids.

    Here. Got laid off today. Was broke, before I started it two months ago, so need money desperately. I am so sick of Florida, low paying jobs, horrible economy. Hopefully this game will put a smile on my face, could use it.
    Beckett with a cast, interesting.

    Shit.

    Oh golly, Karen. I am so sorry… :::HUGS:::

    Have you considered relocation? Although the economy is bad all over, but I’m sure there are better places out there.

    Dammit…

    Yeah, I have considered relocating. I would love to move closer to New England, where all my family and friends are. I just can’t afford financially to move.

    Karen– so sorry to hear about that.

    C’mon, Jonny, do it for Karen!

    I’m in the same boat, Karen, with the exception that I’m still working…at a job that I hate. After 20 years in the South I can’t stand it here anymore. I’m ready to leave…most likely for the Northeast or the Pacific Northwest, but can’t figure out an affordable way.

    Good boy. Nice walking-away f-bomb (I’ll bet), too.

    Just got back from work – I haven’t watched live baseball in a very long time. Go Sox!

  26. 2008 August 23 at 1:39 pm

    I fortunately can’t empathize from personal experience but my sister was laid off and she’s been out of ork for a while. No fun.

    This is going to be a very long game with those calls.

    How the hell was that a strike?! That was in the other batter box!

    I miss NESN…

    Hey, when did AC start sportin’ that chin patch? Looks good! (Especially with that eyeblack.)

  32. 2008 August 23 at 1:43 pm

    I’m having deja vu.

    I think he started growing it a couple of weeks ago, Jenny.

    Did Barajas just take that one off the cup? OW.

    That can’t have felt good.

    Late comment to Jenny: I can tell I’m really missing my departed baseball boyfriends. Cora and Coco are both looking mighty good to me.

    That commerical for Olympia Sports? With Masterson? WAS AWESOME.

    Faith, those are some good stand-ins you’ve chosen. ;D

  42. 2008 August 23 at 1:51 pm

    Good lord, when Cora looks good something’s wrong.

  43. 2008 August 23 at 1:52 pm

    Jonny, please stop giving up hits.

  44. 2008 August 23 at 1:53 pm
    jenny again permalink

    C’mon, Jonny, first pitch strikes, kiddo. Go get ‘em.

  45. 2008 August 23 at 1:55 pm

    C’mon, people – if someone doesn’t come back and make fun of me for my love for the not-quite-GQ-material Youk, I’ll have to do it myself.

  46. 2008 August 23 at 1:56 pm

    Please make the announcers shut up.

    Thanks, Jenny. There’s gotta be *someone* for me to look at who isn’t too scandalously young a la Ells.

    fc, what can I say, I’m desperate. If it helps any, Coco has the edge in my book. But Cora does have great eyes/smile and is otherwise pretty average looking other than those unfortunate ears.

  48. 2008 August 23 at 1:58 pm
    ecl1958 permalink

    fc — Youk, HA! Hey, if I can fangirl over a certain DLed shortstop, you can have a thing for Youk.

    Come on, Jonny. Get out of this inning.

    Oh geez, 2 on, 1 out? Ugh.

    Will be back shortly.
