    Ohh sorry – Jed!

    Haha, I was watching JBay score on TBS HotCorner and mixed them up.

    Jessi – Haha. It’s pretty easy to confuse the two. They look so similar!

    Haha yea they do. Also, my lack of sleep has contributed to me being very out of it.

    Damn.

    That sounded like a good play.

    The more I look at them, the less alike they look to me.

    I’m totally out of it too, Jessi. I’m really having trouble staying awake. :::rubs eyes:::

  12. 2008 October 10 at 10:09 pm

    I beg to differ. Bay and Lowrie are completely different body type, stances, move differently…

    Dice-KKKKKKKK

  15. 2008 October 10 at 10:13 pm

    I totally get the lack of sleep causing issues -
    Tuesday I had clinical for 3 hours then came home and had to study for my test Wednesday
    I closed my eyes, thinking Id have a 10 min catnap. Well at 6pm (after 1 1/2 hours of sleeping) my uncle called, waking me up

    I had done the same thing on Sunday too – but for a half that time

    Buch just had a 1-2-3 inning in the Arizona Fall League.

    Also, anyone else notice Dice’s… linescore?

    Nice job saying it, TBS.

    Holy shit! I just noticed Dice-K’s…um line.

    I was up all night bidding on ebay for a ticket, so I didn’t get more than 3hrs sleep today. Hoping to sleep tonight, since I have to drive 3 1/2hrs each way tomorrow.

    Liza – I totally forgot that Clay was pitching tonight. Thanks for the info. And, yeah, I noticed, but I didn’t want to say anything.

    Liza, yea I noticed it too last inning. And then Chip Caray flat out said “a no-no through the 5th.”

  24. 2008 October 10 at 10:16 pm
    ecl1958 permalink

    See, Liza, TBS is allowed to say it. And of course I (probably lots of us) noticed.

    JD…he makes it look so easy

    I am convinced that TBS is trying to jinx the entire game for the Sox. “Drew has hit into # double plays.” “Dice-K has retired # in a row.”

    …”Dice-K’s –bleep–.” WTF? You never mention the line during the game!

  27. 2008 October 10 at 10:17 pm

    Time for some more run support for Dice!

    The TBS announcers are Sox-haters

    Tek is in the dugout eating. ( on the tbs hot corner)

  30. 2008 October 10 at 10:19 pm

    HA – Youk just put his hand over the camera.
    And I think Tek was having a snack pak.

    I saw that, that wasn’t nice. It looked like applesauce. At least there is no mic, that wouldn’t be good.

    Karen, you don’t want to hear what they have to say? :::cracking up…might make your ears burn:::

    ecl, what?

    Sorry lack of sleep. Get it now.

    ecl1958 permalink

    You said there’s no mic, that wouldn’t be good. So I take it you don’t want to listen to them. Or else I’m so tired I’m not comprehending.

    I am so tired, and have to leave by noon to get there in time tomorrow to get a parking space. I would normally have some wine, but it would probably knock me out right now.

  40. 2008 October 10 at 10:29 pm

    Who knew Kotsay could play such good first base?

  41. 2008 October 10 at 10:29 pm
    Mac permalink

    WOW. That sounded like a great play.

    Loving Drew out there.

    YAY D! And late comment: PEDEY!!!!

  44. 2008 October 10 at 10:31 pm

    JD just may be my baseball botfriend tonight.

  45. 2008 October 10 at 10:32 pm

    Or boyfriend. Either will do.

    What would we do without Drew?

  47. 2008 October 10 at 10:32 pm
    ecl1958 permalink

    Funny, for the longest time JD made no impression on me whatsoever. That has certainly changed in the last little while. He’s been just so damn awesome.

    89 pitches for Dice through six.

    This could be a very tough decision.

    But didn’t he throw like 200 pitches once in high school or something?

    Okay, fc, we can share. :::wink:::

  50. 2008 October 10 at 10:33 pm

    I really wish my internet connection didn’t suck so much.
    That Hot Corner thing looks really cool….
