Looks like I'm the first one here. Blame it on me thinking the game started at 1:05.

Non-morning person that I am, I did NOT get up early and do my laundry! I'll be heading over there around midafternoon. I haven't even cooked brunch yet. Will find today's audiostream and listen while I get on with my day. Will check back here at some point.

Go Sox!

I hate talking to myself...but it's too bad Steph is busy today, seeing as how Jed is playing!

Poor Steph doesn't even get to see Jeb Lowry play today.

Pawtucket news - Kielty to the DL, David Pauley didn't make his start. No explanation given. One will be given after the game.

Texy hope you caught the Dustin manny moment of last night.

Hey all! I'm still pumped about last nights win by both the Sox and the Bruins

Hey everyone! I'll check in at points during the game but have to study for finals this week :(
Hope's everyone's weekend is going well!

My weekend is going very well indeed. All these wins, great Manny moments, and I've even gotten some chores done. And it's been beautiful and sunny here. Spring is in full swing in North Carolina!

Why did Kielty go on the DL?

Yay Jed!

The Pro Jo is speculating the Red Sox could make a roster move after the game with David Pauley being scratched today.

Likely candidate is Clay Buchholz although it's pure speculation.

This is what they have:

Kielty had been playing through pain in his left hand. When the PawSox returned from their road trip Saturday, Kielty went to a doctor. He was sent to another doctor today and the team announced as this afternoon's game against Buffalo was beginning that Kielty was being placed on the seven-day disabled list, retroactive to Saturday.

Hey, the junior announcer on NESN's from my hometown!

well that's not how you want to see the game start.

Audiostream on Texas side again...KZNX 1530.

Oh shit.

Good afternoon!

holy cow
Not how we wanted to start!

Not to worry- It's only the first inning!

Wake, that was awesome. Nice DP.

Much better!

Yesssss! Nice dp.

And E-6 didn't E. Thank goodness for small favors.

Hi All!

Not a great start, but let's hope Wake settles down.

MANNY! CHILL!

Hi Everyone!
Obligations have kept me off line but I've been keeping up with y'all reading the threads.

Interesting speculation on Pauley.

OH!!! Manny gets thrown out.

MANNY!

That was STUPID! STUPID! STUPID!

Well I guess Manny will get today off instead of tomorrow.

WTF?????

Wow. Bye Manny.

Okay, I'm audio only. Did he get any more irate than the other night when he screamed at the ump?

So, who'll play in his place?

Thurston will probably replace him

Thanks, Ian. You're so smart. :)

Manny may want today AND tomorrow.

Ian calls it again!

And it appears to be Joe Thurston who's getting loose in the dugout.

Does this mean Manny will be in tomorrow?

He turned to the ump and said something on his way back to the dugout.

some very questionable strike calls here.

Still can't believe that he got thrown out...hopefully he'll use the next day -- or two -- to do LOTS of meditation.

THat all depends fc on Coco playing.

The Red Sox are 6-1 when Ellsbury leads off.

Yeah, I actually agree with Manny but that was not the way to handle it. He must not have had the chance to meditate since last night's game.

Ellen, I can't remember which game it was where he screamed at the ump. I either saw it or saw pictures. Very intense. If he didn't get thrown out then, I'm surprised he got it today for "turning to the ump and saying something."

Scarier thought right now. Our cleanup hitter for the rest of the game is Joe Thurston

Interesting historical notes: The Texas announcers just mentioned that today is the birthday of Fenway Park. And after the inaugural game, the headlines the next day were instead about the sinking of the Titanic. And this is only the fourth time in Manny's career that he has been ejected.

I know, but I couldn't read his lips or hear what he said. It was probably something like "you &^@(# &(!@"

If I get quiet for a while, don't worry. It's just the inner fat kid in me stuffing my face.

i have that in my notes for the postgame recap ecl. pretty interesting to hear that on the rangers broadcast.

Shonda Schilling doesn't know who we have in right field??

LOL, Ellen!

Ian, I just stuffed my face with a feta/sundried tomato omelet on a spinach-feta bagel, washed down with Georgia Pecan coffee. Hungry yet? And glad to oblige about the historical notes.

Here's a historical question for the stats and scores folks: Does Lugo get ejected much? I've seen several pics of him where he's glaring at or jawing at the home plate ump with his trademark murderous glare.

Speaking of...nice play.

fc, I wondered the same thing.

Okay, time to hit the shower and get the laundry ready. Will check back before I head out.

From what Remy said, Manny must've said "one of the 'magic' words." I took it to mean that while he's complained before, this time he went over the line.

Too bad. Stupid move.

That looked outside to me.

LOL, the Texas announcers just said that "Lugo isn't very happy" with the called strike three. I was afraid that he was going to end up in the showers with Manny.

Okay, now I really am going to take that shower...

NICE Ellsbury.

KID! Great running there.

From the Pro JO:

Ramirez was called out on strikes and as he left the batter's box he said something to Emmel. Put it this way, you don't have to be a good lip reader to figure out what Ramirez said.

back to stuffing my face

Oh one more thing. The speculation about Pauley is because the flu bug is making it's way through the Sox clubhouse meaning that quite possibly that Clay is suffering from it.

They're talking cell phones again.

I don't believe it. It's Jim Rice.

That was by far one of their funnier moments.

The ice cream machine is in the press box? That's not going to make the players happy...

Remember how last year the team could not score a run after the 6th inning to save its life?

Do you think it's going to be the opposite this year?

Also, I'm flipping between the Dodgers game*, the Cubs game, and this game; I have baseball ADD.

*I refuse to think of it as the Braves game, because I do not like them.

I love that commercial. Acting at its finest. I won a trivia question on Jim Rice's blog and the prize is from when they filmed that ad.

I'm leaving now. Have to go to my in-law's for dinner.

There's a shock. Lugo almost grounding into a double play

Double steal - awesome!

Nicely executed double steal. Now do something with it please boys.

another horseshit strike 3 call.

Why don't they have the Amica pitch zone today.

Joe Thurston! Do something good please!

FLUCK!!!

sigh...

Ugh.

well that blows chowdah chunks

I am NOT enjoying this.

OK, I enjoyed that.
Nice, YOOOUUK.

Oh maaaaannnn, just got done with the shower and checked back in. Shit. I'm with you, fc.

Well my Youk comment was about a catch he made - and then came that solid hit. My boy's definitely having a good day at the office. I just hope it pays off.

damn

(crossing all fingers and toes)...C'mon, Jacoby!

Stupid radio delay...DAMMIT!

I'm just trying to tell myself that the fact that they're getting all these baserunners has to be a good sign overall if not actually adding up to jack in this game.

Caroline, if they just keep pushing and taking advantage of every opportunity, eventually something will come of it. I just hope it's enough.

Right, and the ability to put guys on base will pay off in games that Manny hasn't been ejected from, of course.

yay Jeb

rally cap time

See what I mean? :)

here come the Sox

Ready to head to the laundromat...but this looks like it may be a good time to stick around for a few minutes. :-)

Come on, Joe!

Did they catch Wes Littleton on the toilet taking this picture?

That was some hustle to first!

Littleton has the weirdest pitching motion.

And I've never seen someone so happy to get hit by a pitch.

dammit dammit dammit

Alex Rodriguez left Sunday's game in the sixth inning with an apparent hamstring injury.

JD Spewwwwwwwwww

Okay, that's a start. Chores beckon...will see you guys later, as in briefly tomorrow. Keeping fingers crossed for the 8th and 9th.

Nice circus catch there Thurston

What a catch!

This home plate ump is ridiculous.

Way to go Jeb...........

ALRIGHT PUPS!

I love our rookies!

Well, that was an epic foul. So close.

THANK YOU PAPI

Did he seriously just beat that out?!

Heads up running by Jeb there plus great hustle down the line by Big Papi.

Anyone else just yell safe outloud???

My brother did.

Yay Papi!

Come on Dustin!

YAY YAY YAY YAY YAY

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSs

DUSTY!!!!!!!!!

Woohoo!

These boys can always make my day so much better!

Ian, I also yelled safe. Loudly, to make sure it was heard 3000 miles away in Boston.

I knew there was a reason Pedroia's my favorite.

bases juiced for the MAYOR

Wow, seems I've missed quite a show today! (checked Gameday to see what went down) I'm surprised I didn't miss the whole game...

C'mon, Sean!

Since we have a MAYOR. This team needs a sheriff.

The way the umps been calling strikes, im quite happy he didn't there.

There's a new sheriff in town. And his name is Josh.

G'head, sure, hand it to us. We'll take it.

Hit the road Jack and don't you come
back no more, no more, no more, no More

Sweet. I got here at just the right time!

I'm baaaaaccccckkkk (just passing through en route to next errand). And it looks like we're back too. :-D

I second the motion of Sheriff Josh.

Hi Steph (waving).

so fc you're telling me I need to change this picture.

http://i182.photobucket.com/albums/x97/soxanddawgs/ace-of-hearts.gif

Hey! (waves back)

From what I've read, although he's struck out twice Jed also has two hits tonight. Attaboy!

Hi 18, I haven't been on the board much today, but Jed was called out on a really bad call. He's done great!

Ian, just strap some guns on him, have him get some of his own boots...

He got rookie-called again? Awww...

This is the first time I've let him play, erm, "unsupervised," so I'm glad to hear he was well-behaved and kicked ass and took names.

It's Papel-time, isn't it?

Our new left fielder is Julio Lugo. LOL

If that was fair...

but it wasn't.

LOL, Ian! I can't picture him in left. I thought he was exclusively an infielder, but hey, whatever Tito wants.

(has a heart attack) The radio just...to use a now-antiquated term, I got Truped.

Maybe he's trying to ease him out of the park

Wait, they put Lugo in left? Has he ever played outfield before?

I just started cracking up when Orsillo said Lugo was in left.

it's his first time playing the outfield for the Sox.

Proof that Tito has a sense of humor.
(Not that that was in doubt.)

What a freakin win.

Quite a game. Nice job, boys.

Well that had a very happy ending

Wiping sweat from brow yet again....how many come from behind victories is that now?

soweeeeet

Damn, I can't believe I missed most of this game! At least I saw the parts I needed to...

I'm just glad I stopped back to the house on my way up the street!

5th in the last 6 wins have been of the comeback variety.

Hey there are two Erins here now. That was a great game, come from behind victories are the best.

it would have been nice to put my name in there.

best part is they did it without manny although it almost cost them.

Amazing re the comebacks. Okay, I'm outta here....and with a smile on my face that I didn't have 45 minutes ago.

Right, back to paper-writing. Wish I didn't have to miss this one, but it's always better to miss most of a victory than most of a loss, I suppose. See everyone later!

I missed it too, 1863. I had to read Grapes of Wrath for English (yay Stanford!?), but I would have much rather watched the game.

I've been around for a while, and commented before, but just not in a while. I have a link attached to my name, so hopefully that will help people avoid any confusion about us. :)

Maybe 1863's prophecy of A-Rod dying last night wasn't too far from the truth:
"Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez left Sunday's game against the Baltimore Orioles in the sixth inning with a strained right quad and is considered day-to-day."
=D

Hey all. I had to work today but I was listening on the radio at work(my semi-boss is awesome) and honestly I was amost completely useless and mixing up some chicken salad during the rally. I was afraid to move...it was pretty funny and then the tying run was scored as I was serving someone and I was like all completely useless....I think the lesson here is that any early afternoon games that will be listened on the radio at my work(Subway) will basically show me being really useless and distracted.

Also holy crap on Wakey not walking anybody as well
