4 hours early?? does that mean you’re in St. Pete for the weekend???
Go Sox!
I am going tomorrow night, so happy to see Beckett again. A lot further from the field than I like, but still good.
Karen – Have fun!
Bring your ear plugs with those damn cowbells.
I’ve been going through major Sox withdrawal over the past few days. I am SO READY for this game — GO SOX!
I’m excited that I get to watch NESN pre-game coverage! :)
I won’t want to leave!
GO SOX!!
Wow…. up early today!
You all might have to put up with me tonight…. everyone I usually watch the game with went home for the weekend :(
Either way… GO SOX!
Hey y’all!
What an epic week. I had to deal with Nevada on my BS speeding ticket. Nice to know that extortion is actually legal. My parents had to put their beloved golden down last night. They were too upset to drive, so I did. Ripped my heart right out. I bought him for my Dad for Christmas 12 years ago.
BUT…it’s a new day! I’m ready for an ass-kicking tonight.
off to make carrot cake…
Ok, so, I’m not gonna be near a tv for most of the weekend and I decided to buy the post season package on mlb.tv so I can watch the games. I log in to watch the Dodgers/Phillies and I find that I’m blacked out from all games. WTF?
*headdesk*
I hate mlb.tv.
/rant
It’s only the start of the 7th inning in Philadelphia…what do they think this is – the World Series??
Jules, my heart aches for your parents & their beloved dog.
Carrot cake?? Hubs just went to the store to pick up ice cream. Yeah, baby! GO SOX!!
jules, I’m so sorry to hear about your parents’ dog.
My condolences, jules.
jules, my heart goes out to you and your family. There are few things in life better than a good doggie (or kitty) buddy.
I had a CRAP day and I’m sick again (still?). Let’s get some baseball on and make it better.
Is it time yet? I really don’t get why the nl is on fox and the al is on tbs. What annoys me about fox is that blonde chick. By the end of the world series last year I wanted her gone. What is it with the white rags? I’m so excited about tomorrow night, just stinks that I couldn’t get a closer seat, I haven’t sat up on the 3rd level in 4yrs. I am usually close to the sox bullpen.
If y’all need me tonight, you can call me here 860-760-1846 and don’t hesitate to call.
PLEASE tell me someone just saw NESN’s pregame.
I kinda wanted to punch the guy behind the lady getting interviewed. Absolutely annoying.
And yet vaguely amusing….
Mary – I’m one of the non NESNers. What happened?
Heidi was interviewing people outside the Trop and she talked to a Rays fan and then a Sox fan and there was a guy standing behind the Sox fan and he kept saying “go rays.”
Not like yelling it. Just saying it. And it was kinda obnoxious.
It was like he was trying to interrupt her, but lamely.
“Your boos do nit hurt me – I am the great Tito!”
And I just love the little slap he gives Dustin on the back of the head :)
Oh, man, that sounds annoying. And slightly sad.
They’re saying YOOOOUUK and DREWWWWWWW
Oh, I thought when Tito came out it was to a chorus of boos
Just to clarify — I was responding to the comment about the annoying Rays guy, not Tito.
As much as I am excited about going tomorrow night, I am not looking forward to the noise. What is with the smoke and fireworks indoors
Hey everyone!
OK, I admit it. I am veryveryvery nervous about this game and about this series.
I’ve been too busy to get nervous yet, fc…but the more I think about the more nervous I will probably get.
Oh, and yay Phillies.
I’ve got mixed feelings about the current state of the Phillies-Dodgers series. Not sure what I want there…
Okay, time to make myself comfortable in front of the TV. Will be back…
So how many times do you think we’ll hear about the Rays “worst to first” season
Yay Phillies.
I am so excited, and nervous. I was watching Beckett’s interview, and Lowell’s. Lowell is very personable. Beckett usually looks pissed, drugged, or tired.
Sager, Purple?
Yay Phillies! BEAT LA!
They’re playing “Stronger” at the Trop. Massive flashbacks to a year ago for anyone else?
Karen – Sager’s wearing purple today? Is it hideous? (I’m TBS Hot Corner/Gameday only today.)
I’m ready for some serious revenge.
Sager was showing video of when he was on the catwalk earlier, that would make me sick. I so hate heights.
So happy to see the sox dugout again on tbs hot corner. I really think it was because they were at home. Oh man, I can hear the noise through the tv, in person tomorrow should be loud.
Make the cowbells stop.
Hey everyone!
I have been waiting for this game all day – minus the cowbells. I swear if I turned off the tv I’d be able to hear them in Orlando…
YOUK!!
YOUK!
Damn, I was hoping they’d get more out of that hit.
YOUK!
YOOOOOOOOUKKKKKKK
i love seeing youks batting avg as 1.000
Not a happy start.
Ugh.
