i am so looking forward to Nesn tomorrow, these people are boring.
And if all goes well, Beckett will be pitching on my b-day Wednesday.
Yea about the football/baseball thing, I was planning on writing my spanish essay – that’s not happening.
BTW–Gabe Kapler’s homer breaks up Chris Young’s perfect game for SD with two out in the eighth!
Well it’s definitely Coco increasing his trade value.
That was the longest batted ball ever by Jacoby
I’m with you Karen. Basically anybody but Remy and DO are boring.
Aw that sucks for Chris Young – so close. I was watching some Mariner pitcher no-hit the Yanks the other night until Wilson Betimet (sp?) hit a double in the 8th w/ two outs.
Papi being Papi!
THAT’S our Papi.
Thanks, fc — my writing style is pretty much instinctive because I no longer remember “the rules,” but I must have learned these things well at some point in the distant past.
Oh, Papi, you’re so fine
You’re so fine you blow my mind
HEY PAPI!
HEY PAPI!
Buh bye Big Papi
PAPI!!!
Yes!
PAPI!!! That was gone the moment it left the bat.
WOOHOOOOOOOOO! GO Papi!!
NICE PAPI!!!!!
I’m on delay so saw the exclamations before it came through on mlb.tv. Nice work, Large Father!
Papi!! We haven’t seen much of that lately.
Texy, now we need the video. Got your cheerleader outfit?
Jessi, that was Brandon Morrow (and it’s Betemit). I so wanted him to get the no-no–I like him, and plus it’s the Yankees he’s against.
And that’s my Yooouuk.
Youk!
Lets go Bay!
youk!
fc: The best writing is always instinctive. If you have to think about the rules, your style will almost certainly suffer.
Jessi: Yeah, it sucks for Young, but the Lester fan in me thinks that his no-hitter should stand alone this season.
And gotta love the fact that the YOOOOOOOOOUK cries can be heard over the apathetic Rangers fans!
my guess lone is that half the crowd is Sox fans.
One week from tomorrow, I go to Tampa for all 3 games. So looking forward to that.
I’m guessing that Texy has the double tv or PIP going with the Cowboys on
lone, even though I write instinctively, you’d be amazed at how long I labor over what I write. I edit and re-edit until it says exactly what I’m thinking, even if it’s two or three sentences. That’s why a lot of my posts here are delayed.
Er, the comment to fc was obviously meant for ecl. (:: smacks self ::)
Ian: Yeah, I suspect that’s true. But it’s still hilarious how well it’s carrying–it’s almost as loud as the play-by-play on WRKO.
lone/ecl: It helps to know the rules so they become second nature. I’m a grammar geek and I love the rules, but break them regularly, intentionally, for effect.
Karen, I’m so jealous! All three games?
Hey all, I’m glad I could hang while the laundry was washing, but now it’s dryer time so I must go. Enjoy the rest of the game, in case I don’t get back by the end.
there’s rules here? :D LOL
Liza – I was so rooting for the no-hitter. But the fact that the Yanks got two-hit by Seattle (!!) pitchers, one making his first start, was good enough for me.
(sorry for the delayed response)
Lowell is out? I’ve been gone all day, did I miss something?
fc, maybe that’s why it’s second nature to me. It was pretty well drilled into me from an early age. Also, I’ve always had a facility with language. Learned to read very early, wrote a lot as a kid, and did well with foreign languages. Language-related classes were my strongest suit and my favorite thing besides music classes.
Avery, he’s just getting an off day. Tito is taking it slow with him.
Karen – Lucky! I’m jealous.
Avery – Mikey has the day off.
Thanks all. Nice inning for Byrd.
The only downside to 3 games, is $10/game for parking. And in order to get parking, you have to arrive 3hrs before the game, but they don’t let you in until 1hr 30 min before the game. Hopefully not that hot this time. I couldn’t afford a hotel nearby, so it’s about 15 minutes away. I do like the area, so hanging out during the day will be good.
Just go down to Clearwater Beach for the day and get some sun. Then head down the road to the Trop.
All that makes me love Boston/Fenway/the T even more.
ecl: I had the mechanics of good writing drilled into me my junior year in high school, by an engineer-turned-English teacher who cheerfully pointed out every grammatical and usage mistake. Personally, I always appreciate a well-written essay; bad writing drives me insane, because I find myself spending far too long trying to figure out what the author is really trying to say. (Don’t get me started on the journal articles I have to review from China.)
Yay for “Slower than Glass” not trying to stretch a single into getting gunned down at second!
I fell in love with grammar diagramming sentences in 5th grade. Go, Newington education system!
I have a huge paper on Catcher in the Rye due on Friday. Ugh! Liked the book, hate the homework…
Class don’t start for me until Tuesday. I’m dreading them already…
I have to write a lab report about dancing raisins. No, I’m not joking.
this is all you need B.
