    heyy. im soo excited for the game=]

  2. 2009 June 21 at 1:35 pm

    Good afternoon.

  3. 2009 June 21 at 1:35 pm

    Hi all. I am still on a high from last night’s game…..having both Becks and DLowe on a mound and Becks pitching like the rock star ace that is he. What a game.

    I hope Wake continues his dominance….and that this weather doesn’t mess him all up. It seems fitting that our “father” type is pitching today on Father’s day.

    Let’s GO SOX….and bats….could ya give Wake crazy types of run support, it would be appreciated.

    Isn’t the game at 1:35– not 7:10?

    @shelley1005: The problem is the wind is going the wrong way for Wake’s preferences.

  8. 2009 June 21 at 1:41 pm

    I have this feeling it is going to be a long game today

  9. 2009 June 21 at 1:42 pm

    Wake. Outs…please make them your friend. That is all.

    Nice Wake

  12. 2009 June 21 at 1:43 pm

    WaKe. First out….took a while, but got it.

  13. 2009 June 21 at 1:44 pm

    Dangit. Not what I wanted to see.

  15. 2009 June 21 at 1:44 pm

    Aurgh. Why couldn’t that ball carry foul? Sighs.

    come on wake we need outs.

    Wake gets those two outs, but not before some damage is done.

    Come on Sox bats, and show your love for Wakey.

    Hey folks — Wakey, what’s going on here?

    I’ve got not one but TWO channels carrying the game on my cable. I’m opting for the one that is not TBS.

    This site has been loading E-X-T-R-E-M-E-L-Y slowly for me over the past couple of days (it’s not my computer or my broadband connection…everything else is just as it should be). Makes it hard to post, so I may be even more scarce than I would normally be when watching the game in a different room.

    GO SOX!

    @ecl1958: Wakefield is facing his biggest nemesis—strong gusts blowing towards the plate.

    GO, ELF!

    @lone1c: Yeah, I’ve heard tell that the weather is not the best up there this afternoon…

    @ecl1958: You can hear the wind on the TBS broadcast.

  24. 2009 June 21 at 1:55 pm

    How did Youk get dirty already?

    Hey all!

    I read it was quite a game last night–we were at the beach and missed it.

    just got back from grocery shopping for the Father’s Day party tonight and see Wake’s given up two. Let’s hope that’s all they get and our bats wake up.

    Off to bake brownies. I got a new cake pan set that is shaped like Oreo cookies and am going to put ice cream in the middle of the brownies. yummmmmmmmmmmmm

    Go Sox!

    yay!

  29. 2009 June 21 at 1:58 pm

    Sac fly baby….would have liked a homer or a sweet double, but I’ll take it.

  33. 2009 June 21 at 1:59 pm

    Papi. Umm….you are a mother trucking rock star!

    P.S. Wake says thanks!

    @shelley1005: Ortíz hears your request and answers.

  35. 2009 June 21 at 2:00 pm

    I love it when you hit homers Big Papi!

    Go, Kots!

  38. 2009 June 21 at 2:00 pm

    WHOO HOO KOTS….keep this inning going…..

    @lone1c: I can’t hear wind on my broadcast, but per Gameday and my trusty favorite weather site, the wind is around 20 mph in the area, which is rather impressive.

  42. 2009 June 21 at 2:04 pm

    Better inning now Wake

  43. 2009 June 21 at 2:05 pm

    @Jacobybabe46: And just like that Im proven very wrong

  44. 2009 June 21 at 2:05 pm

    Come on Wake. Get some outs….and get the game back to the bats.

    Wake is making JD work so far this afternoon.

  45. 2009 June 21 at 2:07 pm
    lone1c permalink

    Nice catch, Kots!

  46. 2009 June 21 at 2:07 pm

    Nice snag there Kots.

    And I am half worried and half relieved by the Mikey Lowell news.

  47. 2009 June 21 at 2:08 pm
    lone1c permalink

    And thank you, Snowflake, for bailing Wakefield out of a leadoff double.

  48. 2009 June 21 at 2:11 pm

    @shelley1005: It’s better that they are addressing now before it gets worse

  49. 2009 June 21 at 2:12 pm

    Eck. Please discontinue mention of “getting rid of Buchholz.” It hurts my feelings.

  50. 2009 June 21 at 2:13 pm

    @Jacobybabe46: Yes, which is why I am relieved….also saying it is normal and now an re-injury of the hip area. I think with Kots on the team, they can be a lot more kind and gentle when it comes to Mikey and his playing time.
