    Now that my THREE-HOUR INTERVIEW is in the past, I am ready for some baseball.

    Three hours, Jenny? Yikes! How did it go?

  4. 2008 September 17 at 7:10 pm

    Jenny, if they spent that much of their time on you, that’s a very good sign.

  5. 2008 September 17 at 7:11 pm

    Yeah, I’d say you must have nailed it, Jenny!

    Hey y’all – I must say that our lineup isn’t all that impressive tonight. I hope we can muster some runs!

    I’m eating an ear of corn that has been dubbed “the Julio Lugo corn.” It’s all screwy and funny-looking.

    Sure does taste good, though.

    No innuendo intended.

    Laughing at Remy’s pronunciation of the opposing pitcher: “Gozzer.”

    Jake!

    I think our lineup looks just fine.

    Yeah, way to start things off, Ells!

    Liza, you’re making me laugh…and wink, and, well you know how it is.

    Jacoby!

    Now, please, don’t get caught stealing again.

  14. 2008 September 17 at 7:14 pm
    ecl1958 permalink

    I think they do too, fc.

    I’m not paying close attention to the game, but it looks like Jacoby is trying to grow a beard.

    I miss Bay, Drew, Mikey, and Tek – that’s all.

  17. 2008 September 17 at 7:16 pm

    Yes!! Go Papi! Let’s keep this up!

  18. 2008 September 17 at 7:16 pm

    I LOVE PAPI
    …in case there was any doubt.

    PAPI!!!!! He knew that was gone the moment it hit the bat.

    Wake thanks you very much, BIG PAPI!!!!!

  24. 2008 September 17 at 7:17 pm

    Trying to imagine Jacoby with a beard…nope, can’t do it.

  25. 2008 September 17 at 7:18 pm
    Jessi permalink

    Jacoby should never grow a beard – no need to cover up that face.

    Jessi – Agreed.

    Ahh! Lugo in the dugout!

    Thanks, all. I think the marathon interview went well, though the RD who was interviewing me is kind of hard to read.

    I got sushi tonight, nice to see its mojo already working. ;D

  29. 2008 September 17 at 7:20 pm

    Jessi – Is that an “Ahh!” of horror or surprise or glee?

  30. 2008 September 17 at 7:22 pm
    Jessi permalink

    Horror – I am not a huge Lugo fan.

  31. 2008 September 17 at 7:22 pm

    D’oh. Silly troublesome footwork!

  32. 2008 September 17 at 7:23 pm

    (Supressing the urge to point out who might’ve made that play if he was on first.)

  33. 2008 September 17 at 7:24 pm

    WAIT: As ecl knows, that should be “If he WERE in first.”

    Phil Hughes making the start for the Yanks, I am very interested to see him.

  35. 2008 September 17 at 7:24 pm

    (Right there with you, fc.)

  36. 2008 September 17 at 7:26 pm
    ecl1958 permalink

    Jessi, don’t worry, he’s still on the DL. I was momentarily distracted so missed seeing him. I hope they show him again (I must confess –shallowness alert — that I think he’s rather cute).

  37. 2008 September 17 at 7:28 pm
    ecl1958 permalink

    fc — HA! I’m not playing grammar police. I’m so fried from work that I didn’t even notice.

    :::I don’t like when those guys score:::

  38. 2008 September 17 at 7:29 pm
    Cathy permalink

    I think Lugo might be cuter if he gained like 20 pounds, because he is just so skeleton-like.

  39. 2008 September 17 at 7:32 pm
    ecl1958 permalink

    Yeah, he could definitely stand to put some meat on his bones, Cathy, but I think he’s just saddled with a really wiry build. It’s funny, because his brother Ruddy is pretty thick.

    SHIT.

    Jenny, I’m wondering the same thing.

    jenny – Afraid so. :(

    I am emotionally and physically drained from my day – I don’t want to be That Girl but c’mon, Red Sox, I need you!

  49. 2008 September 17 at 7:34 pm

    Time to break out the Ben & Jerry’s.

    Haha I went and got Fish Food when they hit that HR.
