    Lugo is not in the lineup. I repeat: LUGO IS NOT IN THE LINEUP.

    /crossing fingers for a good Dice-K start, but fortifying self with lots of liquor

    Hey y’all! I’m home working, but have my feet up on the coffee table with the game on. I can’t BELIEVE that I missed yesterday’s game. ugh!

    I have a good excuse, because I was in one of my favorite cities:

    Baker Beach

    I took this one by holding the camera out of the sunroof:

    @everafter: Welcome! Repeat with us: “Lugo is NOT in the lineup!”

    @jules: Lugo is NOT in the lineup!! epic glee

    aww i loved J.D.’s awkwardness out there. lol~

  8. 2009 June 7 at 1:24 pm

    Yeah….no Lugo in the lineup again…and the reports is Jedi will be coming back if everything goes to plan in 2 weeks, 3 at the most. All kinds of awesome!

    Dice-K…as always…terrifies me…so, I will be hoping the crazy pitching goodness of Becks and Les rubs off on him.

    I see Drew is out again…and getting a shot in his shoulder. I hope it works and he is back in the lineup ASAP.

    Let’s GO SOX!!!

    That was cute. I think Pap was trying to rub all the hair off that boy’s head. LOL.

    @Texy: I’d be very surprised if we see him in the lineup ever again.

    @jules: All of the above, yes. I think JayBay is my favorite at the moment, though.

    @everafter: Welcome!

  13. 2009 June 7 at 1:31 pm

    @jules: Yes, there are very FEW we don’t have an insane amount of love for.

    @everafter: Be prepared, when a player does something awesome….I often proclaim I am having their babies….and in JayBay’s case, his clear babies (no one is whiter than JayBay and myself….so if we did have little itty bitty babies, they would no doubt be clear as could be)..

    @jules: Those pictures are just beautiful. I visited the Bay Area when I was a teenager and still remember going down Lombard Street and being totally amazed.

  17. 2009 June 7 at 1:36 pm

    I do love that Dice-K hip shake….I hope along with it, he brings his pitching dominance.

    @Sam says : Tazawa !!: count me in. being cheap i only have 2 sox tshirts with number, one is the gentlemen on my avatar, the other one is J-Bay. XDDD

    @jules: I pretty much love everyone on the roster, even they play badly, that is, if they wisely choose not to complain the play time.

    Hey all. I can’t BELIEVE I missed yesterday’s game, but nice start to this one…

    Ugh, anyone feel like explaining parametric equations to me? (Shouldn’t it be a crime to have homework on a day like this?)

    @ecl1958: Thx!

    @shelley1005: i’ve been noticed this lovely trend when i lurked around in the past few weeks. ;-)

    @Jennie: Lucky him! It’s gorgeous.

    @ecl1958: Thanks Ecl! I was born there and lived in the Bay Area until the 4th grade. My real dad worked in San Francisco and would take us there quite often. I *never* get tired of Lombard and decided to try the old put-the-camera-out-the-sun-roof trick.

    ugh! No more of that, Dice!

    Not a good way to start off. :::frown:::

    Michael Young can pack up his stuff, and GO THE HELL HOME ALREADY.

    Striking out the side, but with a home run in between. How quintessentially Daisuke…

  28. 2009 June 7 at 1:45 pm

    Hey, all!

  29. 2009 June 7 at 1:45 pm

    Dice K strikes out the side….me likey that. The homer….me likey less.

    Come on bats…Dice-K is an adorable teddy bear, help the brother out!

    @jules: For some reason I thought you still lived around there. :::is senile:::

    There’s a street in Ithaca, NY (where I lived for quite a few years) that’s modeled after Lombard, only narrower. I used to LOVE driving down it just for fun, especially since there’s a tricky spot at the last curve before the botttom — the house has a picture window right at a curve, so out of absolutely nowhere it looks like a car is coming toward you!

  31. 2009 June 7 at 1:47 pm
    Sam says : Tazawa !! permalink

    At least he struck out the 3 .. now some runs.

  32. 2009 June 7 at 1:48 pm

    Does Padilla have any enemies on the Sox team??? Just wondering if he is going to play whack a mole with any of our mates….

    @Mac: Heey !

  34. 2009 June 7 at 1:49 pm

    Ells….please stop swinging at balls. Thanks, we appreciate it.

  35. 2009 June 7 at 1:49 pm

    @shelley1005: Not that I’d ever blame any pitcher for pegging Teixeira multiple times…

  36. 2009 June 7 at 1:50 pm

    YOUK!

    Damn, I thought that was out.

    @ecl1958: I live in Sacramento–in the San Francisco Giants market, so you’re not *totally* senile ;-) (you might be thinking of my love for the Giants, too)

    damn wind…nice hit Youk!

  38. 2009 June 7 at 1:51 pm

    YYYYYOOOOOOUUUUUKKKKKK!!!!!!!!!!

    I thought that one was gone too…but I’ll take a double with no complaints.

  41. 2009 June 7 at 1:52 pm

    Youk: clutching on to the base tighter after you’re already called out is not going to help.

  42. 2009 June 7 at 1:52 pm

    @jules: Gorgeous photos of the City!

  43. 2009 June 7 at 1:53 pm

    @Texy: No, and I will admit, I enjoyed watching it. I will say though…I think in light of Padilla obviously targeting Teixeira…I think that Burnett getting a suspension for that very same game was bullshit.

    Oh Lord. Why must you do this, Dice-K? 3 strike-outs in a row now? Or will he load the bases first?
