    Well, let’s look at it this way. He’s 7 runs shy in the 4th inning of what Beckett gave up in 2 innings yesterday.

    So it’s not all THAT bad. :)

    Am I the only one who caught the “thrown as high as Casey is tall”?

    I think that’s hilarious.

    Mary – I don’t think I caught that. Hilarious, though.

    I missed that one Mary, but I’m wondering what a Casey-Millar first base conversation would be like

    I guess Youk tossed one to first and it was a high toss so they said “He threw that as high as Casey is tall” and they cracked up and started talking about how tall he is and that they should “work it into out repertoire.”

    These O’s announcers obviously don’t like Bay’s predecessor.

    Sorry, I’m over here thinking about mental squeezes. Has me slightly distracted.

    I want Masterson to pitch in relief today.

    It is quiet….

    I’m completely expecting everyone to start commenting on how quiet it’s been hehehe.

    :::cracking up at Bethie and the mental squeezes:::

    I’ll be less quiet after I get some food into me. Just a couple of minutes.

    Aw dammit Coco…

    I kinda miss Dustin’s scruff.
    He looks 12 again without it.

    WRKO says he shaved cause it was getting “itchy”

    Adorable little hot pocket.

    Ummm Dustin… I don’t think beards are supposed to be “itchy”.

    Oh how I love him.

    Did Millar stop wearing the neon orange shoelaces?

    Mac – yeah he did, sadly. I liked those bright things.

    I like Pedey better shaved, yeah he looks young, but wasn’t fond of the beard. Maybe a goatee would be better?

    Damn. Those things were hideously epic.

    I can’t imagine Dustin with a goatee.
    He might look like a little, less-bald Youk.

    I like bright colors. I have these red sketchers I wear with my red sox shirt. They are falling apart and I have been trying to find others to replace them. Red sneakers aren’t easy to find.

    Good job getting out of that Jon….I’ve been scarce tonight, I’m trying to clean my house, the realtor is showing it tomorrow and we’ve been crazy busy that stugg has just piled up everywhere

    I like bright colors as long as they’re offset by black. My favorite color scheme is red and black, and I even wear my red Sox shirts with black pants on casual Fridays.

    Rocky Cherry sounds like a Ben and Jerry’s flavor

    Kristin – that’s the same thing I thought of when he was up.

    Thank you, Millar.

    ecl – When I read that you like the bright colors with black I thought to myself “oohh, I like red and black…” and when I kept reading I laughed.

    It seems to be a common favorite combination.

    Mary, red is sort of my “power color,” if you will. And in a meme you did awhile back on LJ, I decided that you and I were separated at birth. Some of the similarities were pretty freaky. Including that color combination.

    Ecl, I wore red pants, black sneakers, and black top the other night to work. I was told I could be Mickey Mouse. Now I’m not sure if I will ever wear that combo to work again.

    Yeah, Bethie, I’ve got to hand it to him. He’s a bit bland for my personal taste, but he can hit the tar off the ball!

  41. 2008 August 18 at 9:15 pm
    Bethie permalink

    Yeah, he’s not quite Mr. Personality, but he can go yard and haul ass when he needs to. That works for me.

    ecl1958 permalink

    Wow, Mary, red pants — pretty bold! I don’t own any of those.

    Amazing…Rocky is NOT this guy’s nickname. That is his real name. Oh, the teasing he must have endured as a kid.

    In honor of Jason Bay’s 2 HRs

    Rocky Cherry is an awesome name, but I like Lance broadway better.

    The Dodgers got Greg Maddux from the Padres??

    Cathy, my all-time favorite oddball name (not baseball related, just someone I met years ago) is…:::drumroll please:::…Cash Register. And that was his real name, not Cassidy or Cassius. Cash. I don’t know what his parents were thinking.

    They DID, Bethie??? MLB.com lists him with San Diego…

    ecl – I believe that wins oddest name in the universe.

    That’s a great one, ecl, but I have a better one. My dad’s a professor, and one of his students was named Shithead, except it was pronounced she-ted.
