Hi, all!
Hey everyone!
TGIF!!!!!!!!!!!
After working 12 hour days this week, I worked 4 today. yay! And we’re headed to the beach tomorrow–can’t wait.
I’m ready for a great game tonight, let’s hope Diasuke is on a very short leash.
hey everyone!
1st game of summer vacation wooooot, its offish summer in my book.
Is anyone surprised/upset at Jonathan’s Yankees comment?
@Jessiee: NOTHING Paps says surprises me. Nothing. He did say that he’d like to stay in Boston, but Pap’s mouth just seems to go.
@jules:
hahaha i guess your right. The only thing he can’t seem to close is his mouth. I hope he stays in a Red Sox Uni. But his contract doesnt expire untill what is it 2011, so its like whatever.
Hey all! I’m less than 10 minutes from clocking out for vacation. Will join you in awhile when I get home. GO SOX!
@Jessiee: I actually think what he said is quite true for a MLB player. they asked an honest question and he gave an honest answer. it’s just not what fans like to hear.
oh and about that leash lets hope its a shoelace
@Jessiee: I love Pap’s nuttiness, but there are times when you just think, “dude, stfu!”
Hey, everybody.
FAILHAT Fridays. Dice-K. Interleague play.
Oh God.
::: runs off to try to find some sort of lucky talisman :::
@jules: Exactly, Plus I don’t think if god forbid he goes to the Yankees he will be liked. I mean why go to a place where they threatened you and your then pregnant wife?
O F*&K
seriously????????
dammmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmit…
Pap’s spin control
This is not good at all.
FAILHAT already? Dammit, Dice!
Hello everyone I am officially on summer vacation from school! This game is not starting out well at all.
OK, Dice.
@Kaitlynn, @Jessiee: This is the only good side of the rainout yesterday—we have the full bullpen at our disposal.
ARE YOU KDDING ME?
Please, Tito, call the Pen, get Masterson warming up.
Am I the only one whose mlb.tv is not working???
I think that Tek is waving to them to get somebody up. This sucks.
@jules: Oh yay! Pap made it clear he doesnt want to be in pinstripes. Thank goodness.
I’m Glad Justin is well rested.
I just turned the game on….already not good news. So, why is Dice-K still in our rotation while we are using a 6 man rotation and Clay Freakin’ Buchholz is pitching like a god down in AAA???? Aurgh.
@Jessiee: Actually…if and when Pap went to the Yanks, I predict he will be loved by the fans there. They hate him know, but all secretly would love to have him on the team.
I just posted an entry over on Fenway West saying that Pap really needs to pay someone to follow him around and stop him from saying stupid things. What is interesting…is that the guy is honest…people just don’t want to hear it. I know I don’t. Pap will do what he needs to do. He wants to stay with the Sox, but is starting to see the writing on the wall…and wants to go somewhere that will give him bank and also wins…umm…Yanks.
Seriously Dice-K…you suck. Can’t blame this on FAILHAT…the failure is all you.
Dammmmmmmmmmmit!
Seriously… Walk in a run? Maybe throw ONE strike. ONE?
@jules: Dice-K apparently wants to solve the Sox’s starting rotation dilemma for them by taking a stroll to the DL.
What the fuck, Dice? YOU ARE NOT BARRY ZITO. DO NOT WALK IN A RUN.
Happy to see Masterson in the pen warming up.
@Mac: ROTFLMAO.
@lone1c: That’s exactly what I was thinking. heck, put him on the 60-day as far as I’m concerned.
@shelley1005: Dice-K’s contract is the problem. He can’t be traded, and (IIRC) he can’t be sent down to the minors.
That god for the double play.
BATS…this game in on your shoulders. Please….for the love of god….be alive.
@shelley1005: I agree with the pay someone to follow him around thing. At least if he did ever sign with the Yanks to get major $bank$ we would have had a bit more fair warning, unlike a longhaired greedy caveman we know. THANK YOU YOUK!
An out. HUZZAH. And there was much rejoicing.
MUCH better, Dice!
@Jessiee: We thought he was Jesus, but Judas wanted his thirty pieces of silver.
Dear Theo,
No trade clause? What were you thinking? Seriously, you can’t even send him to the minors. You better make up for this by signing Jason Bay.
More love when you fix this,
Me
@Jessiee: we should send that to him.
@lone1c: LMAO
@Jessiee: Actually….I think Pap’s agent should be calling him stat and explaining something about PR and when to STFU. He should be reminded to avoid questions about 2011 until 2011.
I want to say I am hopeful the Sox will work something out with Pap, but I’m not. I think it will all depend on how far and deep the Sox go into the post season in the next two years….it would be hard to NOT sign Pap if he was the closer on the mound in 2010…if we were to say win the WS. But, if we go home early….lot easier to cut ties and move on to someone else. I still think if Pap is leading the list of elite closers and if the Sox want to make sure the Yanks don’t get him, they might be willing to give him more $ than they really want to. We’ll see. But seriously Pap….STFU. Focus on not WALKING people….instead of where you will be playing in 2011.
That could have been a lot worse. We’ll see how long he lasts
@shelley1005: damn straight
@shelley1005: All he can do is say “I’ll take about free agency when I’m in free agency.” He can’t really stop people from asking about it.
@lone1c: Er, “take” -> “talk”
And 3 K’s for Kawakami? Yuk.
@shelley1005: Amen
Dear Dice-K:
We want to call you Dice-K. Please don’t make us call you Dice-BB, because that would be all kinds of FAIL.
@lone1c: Right now, I’ll be honest….I want to call him Dice-DL.
ME WANT CLAY. ME WANT CLAY. And yes. ME WANT CLAY.
BARTMAN!!!!!! Leave your paws off the ball!
@shelley1005: I wouldn’t mind another DL stint for Dice-K.
However, even IF Dice-K were to end up on the DL again, there is absolutely no guarantee that it would lead to Clay-time. Realistically, we might not see him this year, except for a spot start in a double header or something similar.
Jason Bay is my hero.
@shelley1005: I agree. I want to see Clay back up here so badly.
@jules: What is it with Fenway patrons this season and trying to interfere with plays? (See also: fan that tries to snag a ball Kottaras was after, leading to the politest death glare in the history of the universe.)
@lone1c: Kottaras’s death stare was one for the ages…beautiful.
