    I’ve been stoked for this all day.

  10. 2009 October 8 at 9:30 pm

    I’m exhausted…but also SO PSYCHED!!! We’ve been waiting for Soxtober since mid-February.

    talk about a gift from god. The Sox get Orsillo, while other teams get Dick Stockton or Chip Caray.

  12. 2009 October 8 at 9:31 pm

    LET’S GET IT ON.

  13. 2009 October 8 at 9:31 pm

    I love that we DO on TBS. It’s awesomesauce!

    I took at nap while watching the Dodgers so I wouldn’t be sleepy for this game

  15. 2009 October 8 at 9:34 pm

    @shelley1005: I love it too cause they’re broadcasting it on Fox Sports here which means no mlbtv for me today! My life is completely.

  16. 2009 October 8 at 9:35 pm

    @bally: complete*

  17. 2009 October 8 at 9:37 pm

    Game on. Play ball. Go Red Sox!

    Hey y’all! I’m here in Boston without cable-so will watch it on the pos internet feed. It’s better than nothing.

    they gonna get rid of that pitch trax? It’s hurting my head already.

    I hate that I can’t watch this game. Our school provides free cable to all students, but the television suppled only gets a few stations, half of them Spanish cooking shows. Oh well, probably for the best since I have a differential equations and thermodynamics test tomorrow. :(

  22. 2009 October 8 at 9:40 pm

    @Riles: I’d bail and go to a bar. I wouldn’t be able to handle it.

  23. 2009 October 8 at 9:41 pm

    @kimd: I just got my cable back 2 days ago and have been watching non-stop baseball. It’s heavenly.

  24. 2009 October 8 at 9:41 pm

    @Texy: I agree. Go to a bar. There will be other DiffE and Thermo tests… (says the person who graduated with a 2.6 GPA)

    Great to hear Don. At least we have one good announcer.

    @Riles Can’t you explain to your Prof that you had to go to the bar and watch the Sox? I’m sure he/she will understand

  28. 2009 October 8 at 9:44 pm

    If the Sox win tonight, it will be a lot of fun to hear Lackey whine again after the game.

    Perhaps a silly question, but do they allow underage people into bars just to watch the television?

    @shelley1005: Oh god, I wanted to cry.

    Please let this game go better than that one did.

  31. 2009 October 8 at 9:46 pm

    Oh :(

    I’m sad this game is a late game. I have an 8am flight to San Diego and thus getting up at 5am. Ugh.

    how many people are actually going to watch the George Lopez show that they’re promoting like it’s Frank TV? 1, maybe 2 at the most?

    @kimd:

    well don’t worry, the sox game will be over at 4:30.

  35. 2009 October 8 at 9:47 pm

    @Adam: He was insufferable last year. He’s the very definition of a “bitch”.

    @kimd ouch that is brutal

    @Dragon_Sniper: Plus Wainwright deserved that win.

    @Sam says : Tazawa !!: He deserved a 20-win season, but that didn’t go quite as planned either.

    @Adam: Perfect. That gives me enough time to shower, get the kids up, make 3 lunches, organize crap and head for the airport.

    Sam says : Tazawa !! permalink

    @Dragon_Sniper: If were talking about the Cy Young , I’m rooting for Lincecum though I have no problem with Wainwright winning.

  41. 2009 October 8 at 9:54 pm

    The faux, piped-in crowd noise is dumb. Forget that, it’s D-U-M. Doesn’t even deserve the extra b.

  42. 2009 October 8 at 9:55 pm

    It’s the playoffs for fuck’s sake. If your home crowd can’t cheer of their own volition during the playoffs, FUCK THEM.

    I told myself that I was going to have a more regimented schedule and get to bed earlier. That might not happen tonite. LET’S GO RED SOX!

    (Thank God this series has finally started; I was getting withdrawal tremors).

    Lester isn’t getting any corners.

    the 12:07 start time Sunday works well. I’ll be hungover from a wedding, but the 12 start time compliments the 4 oclock patriot start time.

    so much for Lowell’s range.

    Nice play, Mikey!

  47. 2009 October 8 at 9:58 pm

    Atta boy, Mikey!

  48. 2009 October 8 at 9:58 pm

    MIKEY LOWELL! I heart you….

  49. 2009 October 8 at 10:00 pm

    Lester had a bit of a bumpy start there, but still looked more than solid. Here’s hoping he settles in and smooths out.

  50. 2009 October 8 at 10:00 pm

    @Adam: Is that Sunday start time official?
