Hey all! I’m still at the office (just leaving), and once I get home/eat dinner I’ll most likely watch the bulk of the game on MLBN because my back is sore and I need to get horizontal. In case I don’t make it back over here during the game, enjoy…and GO SOX!
Brad, while you were warming up, your BFF Josh left you a very encouraging message: ‘don’t choke’.
Oh, Penny, please don’t be that guy today.
Come on Penny. Both you and CC make me very very nervous about this game.
Hmmm…brawl tonight?
oh brad, you dork. XDD
So, what do we think? Intentional plunk or just Brad and his suck?
YES thinks he wanted to hit him since the 1st pitch.
@Clarity: I wouldn’t mind a brawl. The Yanks are getting desperate against us anyway. (Oh, that’s nice to say.)
You know, I’m all for anything against A-Rod, but I’d rather there weren’t more baserunners.
I do think the warning is bull shit…but it kind of helps us since CC can’t retaliate. But, there have been tons of batters hit between the 2 teams…and mostly Sox players. JayBay was plunked….no warning. Anyways…
Penny…could ya get this last out, please.
@Liza: I wouldn’t mind it either, to be honest. We’ve already won this series (even though I’d love to sweep the season series, lol). I just wouldn’t want any of our guys to miss any games.
HEEEEY !
No tacoby tonight. ):.
JD!!!!!!!!!!! I heart him. We know this.
Not a pretty swing, but I like it anyway.
Hey, all.
Dang. Pedroia almost hit a BOMB out of Fenway.
Drew hits one in the same spot, but with a little more authority to get the double.
::: listens to the crickets :::
@Sam says : Tazawa !!: Tito said Ells will be available for pinch running. But I hope we don’t need to go there.
@lone1c: I think Drew had a plan to aim for the Monster….while Pedey might have been trying to get out of the park,
YES guys talking about the crazy amount of pitching depth with the Sox…Smoltz, Clay and Penny…and how they don’t have spots for all of them.
Brad. Outs. Please. Thanks.
swisher is the worst base runner or what
WHOO HOO!!! Great throw by Bay….and stupid baserunning by Swisher.
Penny got saved.
nice
Hey everyone.
PAPI!!!!!! PAPI!!!!!!!!!!! PAPI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
HUGE!
Thank God Swisher was sleeping on 2nd.
PAPI PAPI PAPI PAPI PAPI!!!!
Love love…..his swing is just getting better and better!!!
Hey all…just stopping by again while I get dinner together. So far so good, eh?
And….Papi just put a big smile on my ol’ aching face!
PAPI !
@jules: More precisely, he was caught napping between 2nd and 3rd.
LUGO IS NOT IN THE LINEUP.
@lone1c: True!
@lone1c: It was a bonehead move…but I think he thought Bay wouldn’t be able to make the catch. A risky move…and he paid for it.
Still glowing about the Papi homer. THAT one was the best homer yet to date….smacked it outta the park. Love it.
So I am not a big athlete, but I just got home from a 3.5mi run, turned on the TV and watched Papi’s home run as it happened. I think I need to go running more often, guys. :)
Nice Brad. Getting both Damon and ARod to strike out. You are growing on me buddy…just don’t fudge it up.
@Maggie: next time pls run 5 miles. XDD
attaboy brad!
@Maggie: Awesome…I think your running bring Papi luck. 3.5…that’s great. (BTW…is this maggiesox from twitter….I figured so since we chatted about running).
Sweet: Judas and A-Roid go down with K’s.
@lone1c: Brad seems to be getting stronger as the innings are going….I hope he keeps it up. Too bad his pitch count is so high.
@shelley1005: Nope, not me, though I can’t say I’m surprised, as I’ve found that most Maggies kick ass, so I’m in full support of myriads of running, Sox-loving Maggies.
Nice job Pedey….just getting there. A+ for effort.
Pedie! Nice effort.
Is CC getting better, or is the plate getting wider? I guess his last two 3rd strikes were close enough to go either way.
@everafter: I’m not sure that’s a good idea, since I’d probably keel over mid-street if I tried to do 5 right now. But i’ll try to work up to it … let’s say 5 miles by the All Star Break, 10 by October?
CC is a big guy. I mean really big guy….
Hi! Watching on MLB Network tonight…good to see Hazel Mae again. Go Sox!!
@Kimd: CC is big….much like Pedey is short.
I actually think CC being big….helps him. I think it helps him be a power horse pitcher. If he lost a bunch of weight, I don’t think he’d be as good. Just my own theory….but I’m sticking to it.
Thanks Traitor!!!
Hi All! Watching on MLBN tonight…so good to see Hazel Mae again.
Jooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhnnnnyyyyyyyyyyyyy!
LOVE IT when Eck says, “Can of corn”!
ha ha ha ….. E7
now that is funny.
Umm…Damon…couldn’t happen to a nicer, better guy. tee, hee, hee….
Did anyone hear fallout for the Nation’s chant to A-Roid last night? It was on satellite radio this morning.
