    Me: “The game is about to start!”
    Brother: “It’s on channel 4.”
    Me: “No, it’s on NESN.”
    Dad: “Oh, there’s a baseball game today, too?”

    Stupid Pats.

    Anyway. Hi everyone.

    Hey everyone!

    I love Sundays in September. Baseball and football. What could be better?

    Liza, don’tcha hate it when folks have sports tunnel vision that excludes baseball?

    The game is on TBS too, for anyone on mlb.tv who wants to peek in on better def than the computer screen.

  5. 2008 September 21 at 1:08 pm

    On the other hand, I have sports tunnel vision for baseball, which annoys even some of my baseball friends.

    fc, I’m the same way. Give me baseball or give me nothing (with the exception of March Madness).

    Thank you Pedey and Jacoby…

    I watch pretty much every sport that’s shown on tv.

  14. 2008 September 21 at 1:14 pm

    HAHAHAHA – I just had a fortune cookie left over from last week’s Chinese takeout. I also happen to be feeling like crap.
    My fortune: Solid gains are possible today, but with a headache.

    Which bodes well for the Sox today, fc, but don’t forget to take some Tylenol!

    fc, just about everyone I know is sick. That includes me. Do you have the same head cold everyone else seems to have?

    I watched a recent NESN video clip of a Bay interview. He seems like such a pleasant, sweet guy.

  18. 2008 September 21 at 1:18 pm

    Liza, I have my own special variety that I get every time I get a little run down, but that’s been going around my office so that probably started it – that plus my latest episode of The Berenstein Bears and Too Much Baseball on the last homestand.

    I think the “change of season crud” is going around, Liza. Plenty of folks are sick down here too. I haven’t been feeling well for a couple of days…sort of weak and woozy, but beyond that nothing that I can put a finger on. I’m really congested but it could be the fall pollens coming out.

    Finally got myself out of bed. I felt so good for the three days in tampa then what was ailing me before came back full swing.

    I had a good time in Tampa, despite the two losses. For Tuesday night’s game, Beckett pitching, I was 4 rows from the bullpen. Varitek, and Beckett warming up in front of me, was so good. I got some pics. I didn’t get any of my other fav, Papelbon, he was having headaches because of all the noise in there. It was worse than ever. I hear the same horns in the background in Toronto, so annoying, then there is the cowbells. Even I who doesn’t get headaches got one.

    What did Don and Remy just say…Cracker Cats or something like that? I was distracted with cooking and it just sounded so strange.

    Karen, I can’t even imagine how much Paps must have been hurting with those cowbells, poor guy. I’m glad you had a good view of our guys, though!

  27. 2008 September 21 at 1:36 pm

    Someone came up from the Edmonton Cracker Cats. I didn’t catch who – was too busy wondering what a Cracker Cat is.

    I’m glad you had a good time, Karen! Seats close to the bullpen are quite awesome.

    Haha I just finished watching a interview of Masterson when he was pitching in the minor leagues. First off, he was incredibly nice and modest. Then he was asked something like: “Ok so say you’re pitching against the Yanks, bases loaded with Arod at the plate – what do you throw?” Kinda sounds familiar eh?

    He replied “sinker” by the way.

    Thanks, fc. At first I thought it was someone’s name, but then it occurred to me that it was one of those bizarre team names.

  32. 2008 September 21 at 1:46 pm

    I have to watch this on Gameday, because our RA is home for the weekend, and we’ve completely decked out our center lounge in red cups and boxers and panties.
    He comes home today.
    It’s going to be the best prank evah.
    So I’m not leaving this room :D

    The problem is that we have no idea when he’s coming back.
    So we’re just kinda camped out here all day, doing homework etc.
