    Come on SOX, we can do this tonight! I won’t believe that you’ve lost every ounce of fight you’ve got left!

    I’m a sick woman today, so give me something to make me smile!

    GO SOX!

    Coco’s playing tonight, and I really think that he should start a fight. There’s been a fight/skirmish in 2004 and 2007, so how about some 2008 skirmish mojo?

    Feel better soon, Bethie!

    I am scared to watch tonight.

    Thanks Mac!

    Cathy, I’ve been saying all week that we should send Coco to the mound to shred on their pitcher.

    Or maybe we can get Dustin to kick Pena and Aybar in the shins. I bet he can kick with conviction, injure them up pretty good. :)

    Here’s hoping, wish, praying and crossing everything that Dice can do for us tonight what Beckett did in game 5 last year….BELIEVE IN BOSTON!

    I AM SO PUMPED.

    LET’S GO RED SOX.

    Send somebody after BJ. I really don’t care who, but preferably Trot. Either him or Tavarez. Yeah, that would work.

    Tavarez would probably burn down Fenway.

    That might not be a good idea. lol

    Bethie, I’m sorry to hear you’re not feeling well. :::hugs:::

    Let’s hear it for skirmish mojo (Coco darling, are you listening?)…GO SOX!!!

    I had a dream this morning that one of my cousins and I were watching the Sox play on TV…and we were playing the Phillies! Good omen, hey?

  13. 2008 October 16 at 8:01 pm

    Curt Schilling is the mystery man tonight throwing out the first pitch.

    Hoping we knock Kazmir around again today.

  15. 2008 October 16 at 8:03 pm
    Bethie permalink

    Thanks Faith. I’m hoping it’s just airplane funk and it won’t turn into something nasty.

    Like the dream with us playing the Phillies. I will choose to believe that it is a little foreshadowing for us. :)

    On his way home from work, the hubby heard “sweet caroline” on the radio…this could be a sign

    BJ Upton! Look at him GLIDE!

    Wow Bethie…still feeling the effects of your trip? Must have been a good one.

    It was a pretty cool dream indeed.

    OMG, Joseph J. Castiglione, Jr., you are a welcome sound to battered ears. (Foregoing tbs tonight. I’ve had it.)

    LET’S GO DICE!

    There’s an interesting article on MLB.com…..it seems the Rays are a little excited about the world series…don’t count your chickens before they hatch boys

    Dammit Dice, would it kill you to throw an off-speed pitch?

    I mean. GO DAISUKE.

    Can Coco take this guy out, please?

  28. 2008 October 16 at 8:12 pm

    Holy shit!! It’s like watching the past games. WTF DICE-K

    DAMMIT.

    Hmmm….this is looking terribly familiar.

    You know, it’s not necessary for us to give them a home run in the first inning of every game we play against them at Fenway.

    Seriously. 2-run deficit, without even an out? SERIOUSLY?!?

    I think our miracle tonight might be Kazmir.

    At least I hope so.

  39. 2008 October 16 at 8:16 pm

    How ironic is the fact the Red Sox have essentially paid Curt Schilling $8 million dollars to throw out a first pitch.

    Ok – that’s more like it…keep it going.

    Not so much “throw”, but “bounce”.

    I feel it. Do you feel it? I feel good.

    God, I hate Carl Crawford. Like, hate of almost Bonds-like proportions.

  46. 2008 October 16 at 8:18 pm

    My Mighty Mouse picture is being held for moderation.

    SCRATCH THAT. Hate of almost Caliendo-like proportions.

    OK guys: 2 runs against Kazmir 2.suck. You can do it!
