I already said this over at Ian's, but that Millar foul? OW.

Also, Ian, didja see? There's a NESN chat with Heidi tomorrow.



[ Erin ] says:

So with Hazel Mae leaving NESN could they have more of Eric Frede?

Yay Lugo!



[ Texas Gal ] says:
on June 12, 2008 6:49 PM

Seeing the words "yay" and "Lugo" in the same sentence is still weird.



[ Liza ] says:
on June 12, 2008 6:50 PM

That one was very close to being another "Yay Lugo!"

Hey all (waving)...so what happened to Millar? I'm not used to seeing 2nd inning substitutions in the box score.



[ Liza ] says:
on June 12, 2008 7:03 PM

Ecl, he fouled a ball off his shin, right above his leg protector (just below the knee). He rolled around on the ground, obviously in pain, tried to walk it off, and couldn't. It looked really, really bad.

ECL, from the Globe's Extra Bases blog: "Orioles first baseman Kevin Millar came out of the game in the second inning after fouling a pitch off his left knee. Millar was checked out and took a few long strides before being replaced by Oscar Salazar, who assumed Millar's at-bat and grounded out to third."



[ njdevils ] says:
on June 12, 2008 7:05 PM

You beat me to it, Liza. :)



[ Liza ] says:
on June 12, 2008 7:07 PM

Tee hee. Sorry. Hi, by the way.



[ ecl1958 ] says:
on June 12, 2008 7:08 PM

Ouch, poor guy! Hope he's not broken. =/



[ ecl1958 ] says:

Hi!

How weird...Gameday just posted, as an aside, in the text for the fourth inning, the details of the injury. All the great minds must be thinking alike.



[ njdevils ] says:
on June 12, 2008 7:09 PM

Hi! I haven't been around recently because I've been studying for finals...



[ njdevils ] says:
on June 12, 2008 7:13 PM

This is pretty insanely random, but is this what Josh wears?



[ jules ] says:
on June 12, 2008 7:14 PM

Hi All!

Long day with a headache to show for it.

I hope Millar is OK. I didn't see it, but that sounds painful.

Poor Coco, I wish that was a home run. Good single, tho.



[ Liza ] says:
on June 12, 2008 7:15 PM

That'll be me in the next few days. I'm studying while watching the game, actually.

Whoa, what was that, Guthrie?



[ Liza ] says:
on June 12, 2008 7:19 PM

And NJ, I know he does this one (totally badassed) commercial for this necklace... I'm not sure if that's the one he wears normally, though.



[ Danielle ] says:
on June 12, 2008 7:20 PM

Hey everyone! Hope everyone had a good day. And good luck to everyone with finals!



[ Liza ] says:
on June 12, 2008 7:21 PM

CASH!



[ jules ] says:
on June 12, 2008 7:22 PM

Cash! Great throw.



[ Liza ] says:
on June 12, 2008 7:27 PM

Why go at the first pitch with Joco on first?



[ Liza ] says:
on June 12, 2008 7:28 PM

By the way, Millar's x-rays are negative.



[ Liza ] says:
on June 12, 2008 7:31 PM

JD is freakin' HOT. As if it hasn't been said before.



[ Liza ] says:
on June 12, 2008 7:33 PM

MIKEY!!!



[ Erin ] says:
on June 12, 2008 7:33 PM

MIKEY!



[ ecl1958 ] says:
on June 12, 2008 7:34 PM

Oh no he DINT! LOL! :-D :-D :-D



[ jules ] says:
on June 12, 2008 7:35 PM

Mikey!!!

That'll teach ya for walking Manny!



[ Ellen ] says:
on June 12, 2008 7:35 PM

Wahoo! That was awesome!



[ ecl1958 ] says:
on June 12, 2008 7:36 PM

I'd say that Guthrie's night has just gone south. Haha...



[ EricaC ] says:
on June 12, 2008 7:37 PM

Hey Everyone!



[ Liza ] says:
on June 12, 2008 7:38 PM

Yay... Lugo? Again?



[ ecl1958 ] says:
on June 12, 2008 7:39 PM

Yep -- Yay Lugo again! (since I missed the first time).



[ EricaC ] says:
on June 12, 2008 7:41 PM

Just doesn't seem right



[ Ellen ] says:
on June 12, 2008 7:49 PM

Nice, Lugo!

(again?!?)



[ ecl1958 ] says:
on June 12, 2008 7:50 PM

I'm glad to see the new improved Lugo, myself.



[ Liza ] says:
on June 12, 2008 7:50 PM

This is kind of bizarre. But good, definitely.



[ Ellen ] says:
on June 12, 2008 7:51 PM

Yeah, it's like opposite day for Lugo or the Twilight Zone.



[ Liza ] says:
on June 12, 2008 7:52 PM

Oh crap.



[ Liza ] says:
on June 12, 2008 7:54 PM

Jacoby's arm isn't that strong. Why stop him?



[ EricaC ] says:
on June 12, 2008 7:55 PM

This is not looking good



[ EricaC ] says:
on June 12, 2008 7:55 PM

I stand corrected



[ Liza ] says:
on June 12, 2008 8:01 PM

Pitchers taking batting practice! (Justin Masterson just looks weird with a bat.)

Aw. He looks tired, too.



[ Erin ] says:
on June 12, 2008 8:02 PM

I love watching pitchers take batting practice.



[ ecl1958 ] says:
on June 12, 2008 8:03 PM

Aww, that's right -- it's interleague time!



[ Liza ] says:
on June 12, 2008 8:09 PM

Masterson is just the cutest thing I've ever seen.



[ ecl1958 ] says:
on June 12, 2008 8:13 PM

Masterson is a good-looking guy, no doubt about that. I just wonder what he would look like with hair.



[ Liza ] says:
on June 12, 2008 8:14 PM

Youuuk!



[ njdevils ] says:
on June 12, 2008 8:14 PM

I don't know why I'm being so random tonight, but is anyone going to Fenway with their dad for Father's Day on Sunday?

I'm not (for obvious reasons!), but I'd love to!



[ ecl1958 ] says:
on June 12, 2008 8:15 PM

Yeah YOOOUUUUKKK!!!



[ Erin ] says:
on June 12, 2008 8:15 PM

Masterson is so adorable along with Jed Lowrie.



[ EricaC ] says:
on June 12, 2008 8:16 PM

I'm not nj.... live to far away, though I would absolutely love to go!



[ Liza ] says:
on June 12, 2008 8:17 PM

I just mean he's adorable in general--although he is good-looking--but the babyish face is what does it.

Also, I've wondered about the hair question before myself. (Yay Photoshop!)



[ Ellen ] says:
on June 12, 2008 8:17 PM

Argh. I got picked to get the chance to buy tickets for NH day on the 22nd and I forgot to get to the virtual waiting room right at noon today and the only choice that was left was bleachers by the time I remembered. So no.

I am going on the 23rd though.



[ njdevils ] says:
on June 12, 2008 8:18 PM

ECL, I think Liza answers your question here (scroll all the way down to the bottom). =D



[ Liza ] says:
on June 12, 2008 8:19 PM

(That's my old blog, by the way) I beat you again, NJ! Sorry. :)



[ njdevils ] says:
on June 12, 2008 8:20 PM

Liza, you keep beating my by like 30 seconds!



[ njdevils ] says:
on June 12, 2008 8:20 PM

Again...
:)



[ Liza ] says:
on June 12, 2008 8:20 PM

(showing off)And yes, that is his wife actually commenting at the bottom of the page!(/showing off) :D



[ ecl1958 ] says:
on June 12, 2008 8:20 PM

LOL Liza...I think I'd make his hair slightly lighter shade of brown if I were in charge of the color. Maybe medium brown with slightly sun-streaked highlights...



[ Liza ] says:
on June 12, 2008 8:22 PM

I'm sorry. Should I stop posting when there's a general question asked? :)

And I originally made it lighter... but it looked like a helmet so I darkened the image as a whole. Heh.



[ Liza ] says:
on June 12, 2008 8:22 PM

That picture is sittingstill's, by the way.



[ ecl1958 ] says:
on June 12, 2008 8:23 PM

Scrolling all the way down and looking at the pics in the meantime...he's got a great "giggling" face. Very cute!



[ ecl1958 ] says:
on June 12, 2008 8:24 PM

Ah yes, sittingstill of the fabulous photographic skills. I just love her work.



[ Ellen ] says:
on June 12, 2008 8:24 PM

Yeah, he's adorable.



[ Ellen ] says:
on June 12, 2008 8:25 PM

For some reason I was thinking that Father's day was the 22nd. Oops.



[ Ellen ] says:
on June 12, 2008 8:26 PM

OK that's the Lugo we know and love



[ ecl1958 ] says:
on June 12, 2008 8:27 PM

Awww, Julio. You were doing so well for a good long time there. =/



[ Liza ] says:
on June 12, 2008 8:27 PM

I think Lugo felt he owed it to us to screw up at least once today.



[ Liza ] says:
on June 12, 2008 8:28 PM

Poor O's can't just catch a break.

It did seem like he may have tweaked his hamstring stretching down the line.



[ ecl1958 ] says:
on June 12, 2008 8:32 PM

LOL Liza...he figured the game's almost over and we have a decent lead, he may as well make one of his patented moves. At least it didn't come back to hurt us...



[ Ellen ] says:
on June 12, 2008 8:36 PM

Holy Crap JD is so awesome!



[ EricaC ] says:
on June 12, 2008 8:37 PM

This game is so making my night!! :D



[ Erin ] says:
on June 12, 2008 8:37 PM

YAY JD!



[ ecl1958 ] says:
on June 12, 2008 8:37 PM

OMFG!!! This man is AMAZING.



[ ecl1958 ] says:
on June 12, 2008 8:47 PM

Good going guys!

I actually have to go to bed pretty soon -- have an early appointment. So I'm out. Have a great evening, y'all, and I'll see you tomorrow for some Friday night fun.



[ fc ] says:
on June 12, 2008 10:39 PM

Holy cow, everyone gone already? I went to this one as a spur-of-the-moment thing with a coworker, got seats from the Sox, what a fun game, love those Mikey Lowell grand slams.
