    Crossing all fingers and toes for our guys tonight…

    Hey everyone! I’m ready for a great game.

    Tonight’s lineup is certainly different:
    1. J.D. Drew, RF
    2. Dustin Pedroia, 2B
    3. David Ortiz, DH
    4. Kevin Youkilis, 3B
    5. Jason Bay, LF
    6. Mark Kotsay, 1B
    7. Coco Crisp, CF
    8. Kevin Cash, C
    9. Jed Lowrie, SS

    I think it’s a good move. Ellsbury has struggled–not even on base in this series. Papi needs to start hitting, HRs would be nice, but at this point, just *hits* would be helpful.

    Hey everyone…Believe in Wakey!

    Thoughts and prayers for Mike Lowell who is having surgery on Monday. He’s played through incredible pain and has given so much for the team.

    I know, I read that, Jules. Poor guy — I hope it’s the answer. :::hugs Mikey:::

    My thoughts and prayers go out to Mikey. I hope his surgery goes well.

    Sonnanstine has been brutal against the Sox in his last two starts: not one earned run and 12Ks. I hope we get to him early and reverse that trend.

    Go Wake!

    I hope Sonnanstine has a Kazmir like night tonight. That would rule.

    So would our bats actually providing hits. ::hint, hint::

    Big hugs to MikeyLOL. Having the surgery now means he should be in good shape come spring training. We’ll be thinking about ya, buddy.

    GO SOX!!

    I am so sick of seeing the Rays. Almost as sick of them as these announcers.

    Trot threw out the first pitch and I missed it!? GAH.

    -sends good vibes to Mikey Lowell-

    I got the text about Mikey earlier today. I hope his surgery goes well.

    PV’s to Mikey….hoping the fans are a little louder tonight….give them something to cheer about boys….and shut up these stupid announcers

  18. 2008 October 14 at 8:06 pm

    and shut up these stupid announcers

    No doubt. They are pathetic.

    Hey everyone! Haven’t been around for awhile, but go Sox! Best wishes to Mikey. And please will someone pull the plug on these announcers?

    Sager: lovely burgundy velvet sportscoat, there.

    I hope the ump calls a good game.

  21. 2008 October 14 at 8:07 pm
    Karen permalink

    Sager seems to point out the obvious. Like everyone doesn’t have a brain. Just because Rays fans don’t, doesn’t mean Sox fans are as stupid.

  27. 2008 October 14 at 8:10 pm
    Bethie permalink

    Right now….and I can’t believe I’m gonna say this…

    But I would take Joe Morgan AND Tim McCarver over this.

    ::shudder::

    I think I just threw up a little.

    Well, we have 9 innings to get these runs back. Right? I’m not giving up yet.
