    Is Scott Kazmir trying to grow a moustache? It looks like one of those starter ’staches 15 year old boys have.

    OMG…a lead off man on base!

    OK – I have vowed to not become angered about this game, regardless of what happens. But I have a good feeling.

    Ian, I forgot that that was the “8 million dollar pitch”. I think we need our money back! :)

    That is a sad and horrific stat: the leadoff batter has only gotten on base THREE times against the Rays (and none of those were thanks to 0-fer-Jacoby).

    Okay, Youk. I changed the channel so you can hit a home run now.

    There is no joy in Fenway,
    The Large Father has struck out.

    Oh, so we’re doing the whole “leave a shit ton of men on base” thing, huh?

    That works as well. Or just a big sigh.

    Daisuke,

    Everytime you go into a full count God kills a kitten. Think of the kittens!

    There are an awful lot of dead kittens this year.

    Hey y’all!

    Just put my Sox hat and Pap jersey on (don’t wear while cooking).

    Dice did not help in the first and stranded base runners. Not good. I hope Dice returns to game 1 form.

    Just because it has to be said: HATE announcers.

    HOLY COW.

    Okay, that was EPIC

    Nice moves there, Dice-K!

    Yes. Strikeouts, too.

    I changed into my unlucky Red Sox clothing too!

    That sounded like an amazing play. (I’m radio only; I can’t stand the TBS announcers anymore)

    I cooked organic pizza, finishing cooking brownies now. I figure healthy pizza makes brownies allowed.

    Mmmm…. Brownies….

    Sad trombone made me laugh out loud.

    Dioner Navarro looks like a cartoon character, I just can’t put my finger on which one…

    Karen, I’ll buy that logic.

    I’m sure there’s ice cream in my near future ;-)

    NO. MORE. DEAD. KITTIES.
