shiny new gameday thread!!
Sorry again for the radio delay/silence!
Yay! Hope you read my parting comment over yonder. If not: Glad to see you, glad to see Coco, hope you had a good sleep, and I have a slight migraine but hope to make it through the game.
I am finishing up my project, that I started last month, and have been too sick to finish, going through my clothes. So happy to say almost done. Also trying to get mlb.tv up.
Did sleep well. But slept through 2 out of 3 of my sporting events for the day. Didn’t miss much in either.
Hope I can stay awake for this one. Can’t believe that if the baseball gods have it in the cards for me I will be able to watch the sox in Boston next week. Eeeeeep!
Coco just put a big smile on my face.
That would be awesome if you could actually be in Boston for a playoff game, Bethie.
Run! Yay!
Hi Liza!
Hey everyone!
Hey ladies & gentlemen. After much pulling my hair out I finally got my clients website working. I hate those stupid easy problems that take hours to figure out.
Kim, that doesn’t sound like much fun!
I don’t like doubleheaders, I have to use gameday for the second one. Mlb Mosaic doesn’t have the option for both. I feel more productive, finished a project I have been putting off since I got laid off, and only took a little over an hr to do. Feels good giving away a trunk full of clothes to the womens homeless shelter.
Heyy everyone. Is Jacoby playing? Or is it Carter, Coco, Van Every in the OF?
Bailey, Coco and Van Every.
Nice play. But yes Jed!
Karen, you get blocked from every game 2? That stinks!
Thanks ecl. And then whos playing first? Casey? Kotsay?
And the Gil, Cora, Jed. Correct?
I guess I could always be patient and just watch the game and find out…but I guess I’m not patient…lol
Game 162, everyone. Another regular season of baseball is drawing to a close. Luckily, we have the playoffs to look forward to again this year.
Anyone know why Becketts not pitching? Yesterday was supposed to be his scheduled start…
Just resting him for Wed.?
hmm
I don’t get blocked I just can’t use my mosaic program I prefer over the mlb media player.
Casey’s at first. Carter’s DHing. It’s like Pawtucket! (-happy-)
It just doesn’t feel like it’s ending. This year went by way faster than it should have, even faster than last year. But like Starr said, hopefully we’ll have another month or so left of baseball to play.
Lowrie steals!
Lowrie’s first SB!
I can’t believe how fast the season went by! It seems like just yesterday that I was sitting in the computer lab doing a project for Environmental science blocking out the people that were searching for the score of the Sox/A’s game in Japan because I was recording the game at home…
ahh memories ::sigh::
Lindsay, I’m guessing they are just resting him since he will probably be pitching on Wednesday.
And I can’t believe it’s the end of the season already. Dammit. I can still remember Japan like it was yesterday. :(
I always get Bailey and Carter mixed up for some reason! Ugh…
I went to get Chinese food and I was telling my dad to drive faster because I was missing the Paw Sox vs. Yankees game. LOL, I knew that the majority of the lineup would be call ups.
I am sad that the season is over. Also sad that there was no Beckett this weekend. I was watching archived Beckett last night.
Yea this was definitely a great season. Lester’s no-hitter was by far the highlight. Other great moments (for me): Sox opening in Japan, Lester CG shutout at Yankee Stadium, and the debuts of Lowrie and Masterson.
I can’t believe it will be over tonight … oh wait – we’re in the playoffs!
This may sound kind of strange, but I’m happy that Mussina got his 20th win today. After 18 seasons he deserves it!
It did all go by really fast. I remember getting up 1-1/2 hours early and sitting in bed with my coffee in a total daze watching those games in Japan.
Didn’t realize that was Jed’s first SB ever. Congrats!
Kim, can’t you just access the 400K or 800K streams if the mosaic doesn’t work?
Me too Lindsay – though I do wish it wasn’t against our boys. Hmm I think it’s karma for his almost no-hitter at Fenway. He was one strike away when it was broken up.
Ahh I have soo many memories! Most of them are rediculous memories of Jacoby (for example the other day when they showed the dugout and he put his hands down his pants because he ward adjusting his jersey) but on a baseball note, his 2 homer game (i was there! yay!) Lester’s no-no. Lester’s Yankee shutout. Definately also the MLB debut of Masterson and Jed. This may sound bad…but also the injury of Lugo since it allowed us to see more of Jed and I’m sure that the majority of us fell in love with him!
**sorry for the typos in my little memory paragraph.
I camped out in the TV room for Japan. I wasn’t missing a moment of pre-game, considering I had to leave for school an hour into the game.
Come on, Wakey.
I still feel pretty badly for Lugo, Lindsay. Jed’s doing great and I really like him a lot…and I know Lugo sucked, but he was trying so hard and he was starting to step it up just before he got hurt.
I know–I remember non-stop spring training on TV excitement–going “HEY–there’s a Sea Dog!”, then seeing them all back in Hadlock in games where they had to clean snow off the field & then lots of them getting called up. I don’t have a winter sport to switch to. After fall league ends, it’s counting down ’til April 9th and the first Dogs game.
Liza, I was actually able to get pretty much the whole game in, seeing as how I start work at 9:30. It was great, even though I was dog tired.
I, too, remember getting up early, coffee mug in hand, watching the Japan games. Was that really six months ago? It IS hard to believe!
Beckett will stand and deliver on Weds night against the Angels. That’s my expectation, at any rate.
God’s been really good to me this year. I got to go to the home opener and also today’s Game 1, which was supposed to be the last game of the season. Made it onto the Monster twice for Yankees games. Was there for Lester’s no-no. In total, got to see 10 wins and 4 losses at Fenway plus one Red Sox win at Comerica Park. And I’ll be going to Game 3 of the ALDS; my first play-off game!
I’m the same way, Amanda — no winter sport. I do usually pay some attention to March Madness, but by then spring training is in full swing, so my one nod to basketball ends up getting lost in the shuffle.
Wow Joy! How do you get to go to so many games?!
Another big memory for me was the April 30 walkoff against the Blue Jays–the second of the two games they had consecutive walkoffs–because I was there. I’d never had seats not in the bleachers/grandstand and I had great seats in the infield that time. It was so great. Daisuke threw really well and then Tek hit a single up the middle to score Manny in the bottom of the ninth with two outs. It was amazing.
HA! Pornstache looked really ticked off there.
Oh yeah, and I had jury duty the first day they played in Japan and the guard let us watch the game while we were in the waiting room. Otherwise I would’ve had to be at work and wouldn’t have gotten to watch the game. =)
Having been a baseball fan before joining red sox nation, I have to say this has been my most exciting year as a baseball fan. Even though we won it all last year, this season has just been amazing. So many wonderful memories and so many new and wonderful friends to share them with.
Doesn’t get much better than that, ladies and gents.
And of course Beckett will kick ass on Wednesday. It’s the post-season. He will definitely be cooking with gas.
hola peoples. what a shitty day this has been
Bethie, as you know, I can definitely relate. This season, my first as a Red Sox fan (aside from last year’s playoffs), has been awesome in so many ways.
Lindsay – Like I said, God loves me. =)

I am definitely one of the born into red sox nation people. My dad was a sports writer in Worcester, Ma and used to travel with the sox, so I went to a lot of sox games growing up. Miss that, along with my dad. So I have been a Sox fan since birth. I normally watch Pats, but not too exciting without Brady this year.
Ian, I hope this game makes it better for you.
