    Hi all!
    EEE I’m so excited Beckett’s back!!

  3. 2008 September 5 at 7:42 pm

    Did anyone catch that analysis of Dustin’s swing?
    I’ve always wondered how he did that….
    So much love for Pleats :)

    I am so looking forward to this. Missed Beckett so much. I was really bored last night without a game, not looking forward to off season.

    Hi all! So ready to watch the Sox and Beckett tonight. I watched the A’s-Royals game last night and I realized how sick I am of watching the A’s trying to be the worst AAAA team.

    I’m ready to watch Beckett. My dad’s going to the record breaking Monday night game- I’m so jealous!

    I am so ready to watch baseball.

    Mac, you are spot on regarding the A’s. We go to see them when the Sox are in town (that is the ugliest ball park). They often start the year with talented players, but ol’ Billy trades them all away. It has to be so frustrating for the players to be on what is essentially a AAAA team, feeding the entire major leagues.

    I have looked forward to a game this much since opening day. Mlb stand for cancer is on tv.

  12. 2008 September 5 at 8:04 pm

    I have missed watching baseball.
    I moved into college on Sunday, had “first days” until Wednesday, and was somehow able to commandeer the common room’s TV to watch Wednesday’s game.
    I’m so ready for this game :)

  13. 2008 September 5 at 8:04 pm

    I personally think Stand Up To Cancer should be instead called “Fuck You Cancer” because it meshes so much better. Also I think TWIB already did their own version –

    :) Enjoy

    Greetings, all! Unfortunately can’t stick around for the whole game as the husband and I are off to the West Coast tomorrow, but I can get a little Josh fix. :D

    Hey all — and hey Bethie, I thought you were working tonight!

    Oh no ma’am. Like I would miss tonight’s game. :)

    jules – Exactly. I enjoyed watching them early this season, despite the Haren, Swish and Kotsay trades, but once Billy dealt Harden and Blanton, I pretty much gave up on the season. (I also go to Oakland when the Sox are in town; it’s the closest AL ballpark to where I am).

    Also, anyone else having problems with mlb.tv? I can’t seem to get the video working.

    That was silly. I thought he had it at first, but then he let go of the glove! YAY!

  21. 2008 September 5 at 8:08 pm

    Oh man, that was a whoops.
    Hehehehe.

  22. 2008 September 5 at 8:08 pm

    That’s it, I’m convinced: Pedey is magic. There can be no other explanation.

    Pedie!!!

    Karen, I was thinking the same thing…opponent partisan broadcasts suck.

  29. 2008 September 5 at 8:14 pm

    I just got up and patted my Beckett poster… GO BECKETT!

    Finally! Got mlb.tv working (turns out it was my internet connection). Did I miss anything significant? Besides Pedie being awesome, apparently…

    Having to rely on WRKO and GameDay for coverage tonight doesn’t sound like such a bad thing right now. . . .

    It’s so nice to have old friends back! (BecKett and Mikey).

  41. 2008 September 5 at 8:19 pm

    Absolutely LOVING seeing Josh and Mikey out there again.

    I am, however, missing me some Youk. /spoiled whine

    Youk will most likely be back tomorrow.

    OH HE DID NOT JUST CALL THE YANKEES A SECOND TIER CONTENDER

    (you can only say that if you’re a fan)

  44. 2008 September 5 at 8:21 pm

    The Yankees are a contender?
