Love this tweet from Amalie Benjamin: “The Sox are currently yelling at the spellers on TV at the National Spelling Bee. It has attracted half the clubhouse.”
Mostly because it’s what I’ve been doing for most of the morning, too.
@Clarity: I’m sure Jonathan Papelbon is yelling the loudest- he fancies himself quite the speller.
I’m home sick, so I’ve been sleeping all morning. Curiously, my body woke up just in time for baseball.
I’m expecting great things from Beckett today… Wake can’t play stopper all season…
@Bottom Line Rob: From your mouth to God’s ear. And by “God” of course I mean “Josh Beckett”.
@Texy: Pap is of course yelling enphatically. I’m chillin at home too, cause I had personal time to burn before I lose it. Strangely, I chose a day with a day game.
@fc: What a coincidence!
And Josh: you need to win this one for your sick homie.
Youk is a little…um…hyped?
@Texy: Speaking of the Papelbon spelling video, is there anyway we can see it? I did a search for it and found it but you had to be accepted as a friend of Texy in order to view. Pretty please???
Kevin Youkilis is an overexcited puppy.
@Jennie: It’s gone – the youtube police deleted it.
@Texy: Promoted from porcine to canine!
@Texy: Wah!!!
@fc: He’ll always be a warthog to me.
Wonder what Dave Roberts did to lose his booth spot to a Twins guy? Maybe he was just too greatgreatgreat?
@fc: Definately a coincidence.
@Texy: Masterson complained about his blind optimism.
I’m watching with a very happy 5 yr old(http://tinyurl.com/my8hem). Day games thrill him and he wants you to see his cast.
@Kimd: Crap that ddin’t show as a link…

My child would like to know if the Red Sox ever had an inside the park grand slam.
@Kimd: if anyone could do it, it would be Ellsbury!
might as well strike out the side now Josh!
Great start!
Nice 1st inning for Becks.
3 up, 3 down. Very nice.
@Kimd:
Mike Greenwell, 1990
Gary Geiger, 1961
Don Lenhardt, 1952
Jim Tabor, 1939
Shano Collins, 1921
Duffy Lewis, 1912
Jake Stahl, 1910
Freddy Parent, 1904
Hobe Ferris, 1903
Jimmy Collins, 1902
NICE!
bec KKK ett
@fc: DEALING.
@Bottom Line Rob: True. We googled them a while ago and they have happened but I can’t figure out if the Sox have ever had one.
@Texy: I don’t even know what to say about how fast you pulled this info Texy…
(insert my Darth Vader voice) “Impressive.”
Hooray! A single!
@Bottom Line Rob: Oh, I knew it off the top of my head. (HAH)
@Texy: @Texy: THANK YOU! Mike Greenwell? Really?
Greenie did it against the Yankees, too.
Well that sucked.
Well- that’s the Beckett we know and love. Dealing K after K — or losing long bombs.
@Texy: Always good against the Yanks.
@Texy: At least we know what to expect. K or bomb.
Or a fabulous 4 pitch walk.
Do you know that it’s incredibly hard to explain check swings to a 5 yr old? he gets the concept but not the fine line…… He’s getting pissed at the ump.
Odd-year Beckett is supposed to be lights-out. This looks more like even-year Beckett.
Thanks you Mr. Redmond…
That was…. interesting.
How is that possible?
@Kimd: Your little guy is *adorable* – I hope he feels better.
@Texy: Get well, Texy. I had the cold from hell last week and my husband has it now.
I’m home today (day off!) because it’s my daughter’s 8th grade graduation. I’m going to have a busy day, but have the game on now.
Tek does it again!
TEK!!!!!!
Damn phone call – what just happened? I gathered the Tek part…
@Jennie: Tek hit it over the baggie.
Denard Span must be stopped.
@fc: Serioulsy can we just break Span’s leg?
