    May I take this opportunity to bitch about people who come to work sick and, guess what, make everyone else sick?

    That was a homer!!!

    It’s official: Dustin Pedroia is UN-FREAKIN’-BELIEVABLE.
    And is this the year of the wall-hanging balls?
    Ugh. That didn’t sound good.

    “How to Manufacture a Run in 3 Easy Steps,” by Dave Magadan:

    (1) Have Dustin Pedroia hits a double or triple.
    (2) Have Ortiz or Youk drives him home with a hit (or in the case of a triple, with a sac fly).
    (3) Repeat as often as possiible.

    Hey everyone! I finally pried my laptop from my kidlet’s paws.

    Pleats! Awesome!

    I hope Clay throws a great game. He needs the confidence. Let’s go Clay!

    May I take this opportunity to bitch about people who come to work sick and, guess what, make everyone else sick?

    Jennie, that is one of my *biggest* pet peeves. Drives me crazy. I’ve told people to just go home.

    I agree about coming to work sick. Last year I worked in a call center, large room, no windows and over 100 people. The company gave out free hand wipes, lysol, and flu shots, because it got that bad.

    Hi ecl, how are you?

    So far, so good.

    So, was Pleats robbed of a home run?

    I believe he was, Jules.

  29. 2008 August 20 at 7:40 pm

    I’m not sure I agree that he was robbed, but they’ve been handing us runs ever since.

    Hi jules, I’m dog tired. And my computer is being slow. Had to boot from scratch because it got cranky on me last night. The broadband modem is still waking up. So…I’m stuck with Gameday graphics for a little while, I think. But I’m glad to see such a nice start to the game.

    It sure looked like the ball hit behind the top of the fence.

    Is your computer slow or is it your connection?

    ecl1958 permalink Reply to this comment

    Jules, for whatever reason, the computer won’t go into “sleep” mode at night unless I disconnect the broadband modem (5 Mb connection), and it takes a little while to go through its paces after I reconnect it. I also had to shut the computer down completely last night because, as I said, it did something cranky. It rebooted just fine when I got home from work today, almost always does, but until the modem finishes doing its thing, which takes a few minutes, pages load slowly. Everything is humming along just fine now.

    So, Clay, do you think you could speed up the pace a bit? And not kill yourself diving for balls?

  38. 2008 August 20 at 8:00 pm

    Stay cool, Clay; stay cool.

    ecl, is it still under warranty? It shouldn’t be doing that.
