    Have you seen the ‘Pedroia chats with MLB.com’ video? I think he borrowed a t-shirt from Beckett.

    Hey ! Howdy ? I think Beckett will kick some rears tonight.

    Hey y’all…I’m so glad to be home to watch the game.

    Have you read this interesting article on Royal’s pitcher Greinke? I’d love to see this guy pitch–I’ll even go to the Colosseum if he throws against Oakland.

    Let’s go, Commander!

    Hey people. Here’s hoping the weather cooperates tonight.

    And Beckett – please take note of your protegé’s performance last night. Let’s try that, hmm?

    @jules: Greinke had been nasty so far, and thank goodness, I have him in fantasy teams, and Josh Beckett too.

  7. 2009 May 5 at 7:07 pm

    Poor Joba, with no Youk for target practice.

  8. 2009 May 5 at 7:08 pm

    Hey all….I just got in the door…threw some soup for dinner in the microwave and settling in for the game.

    Game on!

    @Sam: He’s projected to pitch against the Angels Saturday night. I’m having a family party at that time–we’re going to watch.

    I hope we hit Joba hard and often.

    ELLS!!!!!!

    Nice job getting on base. All those people who thought you shouldn’t be lead off can officially suck it.

    Jacoby! Just getting on base is great for him. Let’s go, Jacoby.

  12. 2009 May 5 at 7:10 pm

    Nice steal Ells….waiting no time at all. You are awesome.

  13. 2009 May 5 at 7:11 pm

    Nice fielding Jeter. giggles….

  14. 2009 May 5 at 7:11 pm

    Nice one, Jeets!

  15. 2009 May 5 at 7:14 pm

    And awaaaaay we go!

  16. 2009 May 5 at 7:14 pm

    PAPI!

    BAY!!!!!!!!!!!

    My husband is at work and sent this: “Big Papi strikes back! The sith (Joba the Putz) is in distress!”

    haahaaaa

    Bay’s the bomb.

    FYI.. My 5 yr old now calls Lugo E6. And… he has MLB PowerPros for Wii….. Lugo has a grade of F (on the A to F scale) in fielding. Ha ha ha.

  23. 2009 May 5 at 7:16 pm

    Oh JayBay….I love you. Want to have a million bajillion of your babies.

    STILL NO OUTS IN THIS INNING. Fabtabulous.

  24. 2009 May 5 at 7:17 pm

    This is why Joba should be a reliever and NOT a starter….but I’d like to keep making this mistake OVER and OVER again.

    Hi, all–so far MLB TV is semi-cooperating with my husband’s laptop (mine’s STILL in the shop, I won’t get it back until next week, grr).

    Jesus, Justin, please to quit sucking.

    Swore I’d just lurk tonight, but THAT? Was worth chiming in. JBay, will you marry me?

    @Kimd: My husband uses “Lugoed” as a verb for screwing up: “I Lugoed that…”

    @Trish: Naaaaah, Trish…we like this Joba ;-)

    @ecl1958: ecl, don’t lurk…hang out with us crazies.

    @Trish: I’m not going to pile on that one. It sounds like they don’t keep in touch and she’s obviously very troubled. I feel for the guy in that respect–we don’t chose our parents.

    @Kimd: ha, in MLB the show, I use Lowrie as starting SS .. sometimes trade Lugo for Hanley Ramirez.

  33. 2009 May 5 at 7:22 pm

    Alright Becks….it’s your time now. We except great things from the Commander.

    @ecl1958: Join in, I think its gonna be a fun night.

    Thank you, my Swish.

  36. 2009 May 5 at 7:23 pm

    except= expect

    Be like Les was yesterday….minus giving up the homers.

  37. 2009 May 5 at 7:24 pm

    .@Trish, @jules: Agreed. That’s unnecessarily harsh – that shit is real.

    @jules: I have a lot to do, Jules. I’m checking out a sorely needed support group tomorrow night (because I am, in fact, crazy) and also have to go to bed by +/- 9:30 the next two nights because my supervisor decided to have me fill in on a task that one of my coworkers usually does (she’ll be out Thurs/Fri), even though it has to be done an hour before I’m usually due at work. So I’m rotating my hours and it’s going to totally mess up everything I usually do in the evening. That said, I’ll be multitasking tonight during the game, but I’ll surely pop my head in again after awhile.

    Good first inning for us! :::happy dance:::

    Been eating while watching. So I will now sum up my feelings on the start to the game with this: Jason Bay is mine! All mine! Back off!

    OK…I guess I can share. ;-)

    @Jules–it’s a screwed-up situation but even addicts tell the truth occasionally. As you might have guessed I’m not a big Justin fan.

    @ecl1958: You are too much. I’m going to be wicked busy at work and have to learn two new development/design tools ASAP.

    I hope you have a good week, ecl. Hang in there.

    sit DOWN, Teixeira!

  42. 2009 May 5 at 7:29 pm

    Sit down Teixeira….you can suck it.

    Nice K Becks.

    I dont’ need this many runners on this early in the game.

  45. 2009 May 5 at 7:32 pm
    jules permalink

    Good, no runs…let’s go bats, more runs, please.

    And yes, I’m being greedy.

    Off to make dinner…

    Mark Teixeira looks like the love child of Fred Gwynne (Herman Munster, out of make-up) and Jim Nabors (Gomer Pyle).

    PS: Yay Lincecum and Giants for winning today!

  48. 2009 May 5 at 7:33 pm

    Nice inning Becks…you let them reach base, but let no one come home. I’ll take that. I know Joba wished he could have an inning like that.

  49. 2009 May 5 at 7:34 pm

    Dear Beckett,
    I dont need a heartattack this early in the game,

    Thanks.

    @jules: I heart Lincecum too !
