    Hey everybody…

    Here’s hoping Josh gets some awesome back here and pulverizes our opponents.

    Hey everybody!

    Joshua, please have a good solid game tonight and throw fucking strikes.

    By the way, Trish can’t make it tonight but she says to tell everyone hi. So “HI” from Trish.

    No, Erin, did you? I’m sure it was impressive. The radar was scary looking.

    I bet Trish isn’t too happy to miss tonight’s Josh start!

  11. 2008 August 5 at 8:12 pm

    Hi all,
    Too bad Trish can’t join us.

    Go JD!

    Erin – I saw the video, kinda scary. I’m so glad I was not there!

    Watching the Yankee game and I’ve decided that I also cannot stand Bobby Abreau. Every time he takes a called strike, he turns and stares at the umpire. His face clearly says “How could you possibly think of calling that a strike?”

    Drew!

    Anyone else ever notice that when Remy reads the defensive alignment for the other team, the graphic doesn’t match up with what he says, in terms of the fielding percentage? He often reads a number that’s one off from the graphic. For instance, tonight the graphic said the Royals are 3rd in the A.L. in fielding percentage, but Remy said 4th. It happens pretty frequently, so I don’t know what’s going on.

    Jessi, do you know where I can find a video of the storm blowing in at Chicago? Not essential, just curious.

    Not sure…I just saw a few clips on some sport shows last night. I may be able to find something though.

    Ugh, that was not cool.

    Well, my sister is there and I was going to fly out and meet her but, after throwing down $350 for the flight, I found that the rental car would be just as much. That’s a lot of money to be hanging out in Kansas and Nebraska.

    Teahen.

    My mom used to have a tea cozy in the shape of a chicken, and now whenever I see “Teahen” I think about that tea cozy.

    So instead I had the most boring day at work EVA! And the remainder of the week looks to be more of that.

    Jessi permalink

    I’m sorry Jennie, that sucks. I also had a very boring work day too.

  38. 2008 August 5 at 8:30 pm

    Okay seriously what the fuck is up with Josh Beckett this season?!
