Yay Jacoby!
and a steal…it’s been a while!
Yes! I have missed those stolen bases!
When was Jacoby’s last SB? June?
He must have heard us talking about him.
PEDIE!
I freakin love Jacoby’s speed.
Damn, he’s fast.
MLB.tv picked a fine time to totally flake out on me…must be the weather in Houston that the announcers were talking about earlier.
PEDIE! JACOBY!
Now I wish I had seen that…
:::growling at mlb.com while trying to get it working again:::
Well okay, one run is better than none.
Well I was hoping for more, but at least we got one
Welcome to my world faith. :)
MLBtv is great and worth the money. When it works.
1 run is better than nothing.
“baseball circumstance” WTF???
I think two players running into each other should probably count as an error.
They probably just gave him the hit cause they didn’t know who to score the error on.
So Bethie, it’s not just me? And here I was blaming it ALL on my computer being cranky this evening.
Actually, I’m probably up a creek now, because my Explorer window that had mlb.com open just crashed and restarted, which means I didn’t log out properly and will probably get the “logged in on multiple computers” message. Oh goody…
Did I miss another Keystone Kops moment?
I’ve only had one problem with mlbtv and that was the other night. And I use it every night since I don’t get NESN.
Right now, it’s working for me
“Just because a baseball team has a lot of errors doesn’t mean that they aren’t a good fielding team” Uh…yes it does.
Sorry, the anon. was me.
Texas leads 5-1.
Crowd to Bay: “You’re not Manny.”
Bay: base hit.
I’m back on tv. Fortunately.
Tek!…Jason’s on the corners
The fans chanting “you’re not manny” need to shut the fuck up right now.
Aw Tek – he makes me smile whenever he hits.
Dude, I love this first to third thing with Bay.
He can flat out haul ass.
Hmm–Bay seemed to be on second by the time Tek got out of the batter’s box.
Think he likes to run?
Jacoby!
Perhaps Ells has found the answser to mhc’s question.
Back-to-back hits from Tek and Ells?!!! Unbelievable.
Tek and Jacoby with back to back hits???
LOVE IT!!!
The J names are at bat this inning I just realized
2 hits and a steal for Jacoby…things are looking up
Now how ’bout a Tek and Ellsbury double steal? :-)
lone: He’s not Manny (with all due respect).
Looks like they listened to our exhortations to bring their bats!
Hey guys – did you know Pedroia is small? Shock of the year.
Pedie is small, we get it!
Are they saying that on the KC broadcast?
Yes they are.
Yes, they are discussing how despite Pedroia’s small size he is in fact a good hitter!
Woot Jacoby!
Wait… that guy is SHORT!?
Most beaten down story of the year:
A. Pedie’s height
B. Brett Favre
C. Manny
Aww Jacoby, that’s ok.
At least we got a run!
fc: I know what you mean–I loved Manny, but I can definitely appreciate having Sox players who run the bases well.
(Of course, I type this just as Ellsbury gets nailed at home plate. D’oh!)
Now is that more steal tonight then he had all last month! And more Pedie hitting goodness!
Cathy, lets add Tek’s slump and Giambi’s stache to that!
