Hi everyone -- so glad it's Friday, so ready for a game! And it's great to have Clay back.

For those who didn't know (and are non-NESN), the Sunday game is listed as being on TBS. Yay for TV!

Hey everyone!

ecl, I already have the game set to record since I record every game that's on down here ;)



[ Bethie ] says:
on July 11, 2008 7:13 PM

Hey everyone!

Excited about Clay being back. Just hope he can settle down a little bit after he gets his footing in the first.

Hi

Hello everyone!



[ ecl1958 ] says:

Danielle, my budget is limited so I don't have a DVR or Tivo...and my old VCR died a couple of years ago. So I just make sure to watch the games when they're on. By my count, unless more are added to the schedule, either nationally or on WGN (which carries White Sox games), I only get to see 10 more in the regular season. :(

And poor Clay...hang in there, fella.



[ Danielle ] says:
on July 11, 2008 7:19 PM

ecl, I haven't counted how many I have left but you never know ESPN or other channels could add more games



[ Karen ] says:
on July 11, 2008 7:19 PM

I haven't got up to DVR or Tivo technology, or ipod for that matter. I have a dvd/vcr combo, and that is high technology for me.

Looks like I picked the wrong day to quit sniffing glue



[ jules ] says:
on July 11, 2008 7:20 PM

Hey ya'll! TGIF! It's been a heck of a week. Today was a rare treat--no meetings! It's nice to actually get some work done.

Clay is back, but boy, is he ever struggling!



[ Bethie ] says:
on July 11, 2008 7:20 PM

Damn. I'm afraid Buck won't last long tonight. :(



[ Jennie ] says:
on July 11, 2008 7:21 PM

this is sucking! clap clap clapclapclap



[ jules ] says:
on July 11, 2008 7:21 PM

great, we're out of that. Let's see how he does in the 2nd.



[ Ian ] says:
on July 11, 2008 7:22 PM

I think he'll be fine. He got the jitters out now



[ Bethie ] says:
on July 11, 2008 7:22 PM

30 pitch 1st inning is not good for business.

Hope he's more under control in the 2nd. I'll cross my fingers. :)

Now, come on bats!



[ Erin ] says:
on July 11, 2008 7:22 PM

Let's hope the bats are awesome again.



[ ecl1958 ] says:
on July 11, 2008 7:23 PM

Danielle, I checked the official schedule last night and two more had been added since I last checked. So far they've been adding a few now and then...I certainly hope so because Aug/Sept are very, very thin.

(whew)...I hope Clay works the kinks outs by next inning...



[ jules ] says:
on July 11, 2008 7:24 PM

I hope Clay does well and our bats are strong.

Well, I'm outta here to make lasagna.



[ ecl1958 ] says:
on July 11, 2008 7:24 PM

Karen, I don't have IPOD either. I was amazed when I got my new computer last winter and my brother in law (who set it up for me) showed me the I-Tunes that came with it. I never even knew there was such a thing, technodinosaur that I am...



[ Erin ] says:
on July 11, 2008 7:27 PM

I also don't have an IPOD



[ Ian ] says:
on July 11, 2008 7:28 PM

TBS will add games for August and September soon



[ ecl1958 ] says:
on July 11, 2008 7:28 PM

C'mon Manny and Manny-bat!



[ ecl1958 ] says:
on July 11, 2008 7:30 PM

Thanks for the all-in-one-place link, Ian. Looking forward to the new additions.



[ Avery ] says:
on July 11, 2008 7:42 PM

Sorry I've been gone for so long- but I'm finally back!



[ Ian ] says:
on July 11, 2008 7:45 PM

the fans need leave their hands in their pockets



[ ecl1958 ] says:
on July 11, 2008 7:46 PM

Amen to that, Ian!



[ ecl1958 ] says:
on July 11, 2008 7:49 PM

Mossy!!!



[ Avery ] says:
on July 11, 2008 7:49 PM

Yay Mossy!



[ ecl1958 ] says:
on July 11, 2008 7:54 PM

Okay, NESNers, was it a bad call? WRKO says so.



[ Erin ] says:
on July 11, 2008 7:55 PM

Very bad call



[ ecl1958 ] says:
on July 11, 2008 7:59 PM

Poor Lugie.... :( but at least he got an RBI out of it.



[ starr4 ] says:
on July 11, 2008 7:59 PM

really, really bad call...tho' that was a while ago now. :)



[ Bethie ] says:
on July 11, 2008 8:01 PM

There you go Clay!! That's more like it!!



[ ecl1958 ] says:
on July 11, 2008 8:01 PM

People are slow to post tonight. :)



[ Texas Gal ] says:
on July 11, 2008 8:03 PM

Ian! With the Airplane quote! Hooray!



[ Bethie ] says:
on July 11, 2008 8:04 PM

YES!!! Three straight Ks.

You go BUCK!!!!



[ ecl1958 ] says:
on July 11, 2008 8:04 PM

Way to go Clay!!!



[ Texas Gal ] says:
on July 11, 2008 8:04 PM

Roger, Roger. What's our vector, Victor?



[ ecl1958 ] says:
on July 11, 2008 8:18 PM

Hmph. I just clicked on the link in my "free mlb.tv trial" e-mail and...after a long wait, got a message telling me that my promo code had already been used. Interesting, considering that the e-mail didn't come with a promo code. Any ideas, anyone? I'd sort of like to watch the game, since I supposedly have the free trial for a week.



[ ecl1958 ] says:
on July 11, 2008 8:19 PM

BuchKKKKolz!



[ Karen ] says:
on July 11, 2008 8:28 PM

Yeah.



[ Katherine ] says:
on July 11, 2008 8:33 PM

Yay Tek.



[ ecl1958 ] says:
on July 11, 2008 8:37 PM

Brian Roberts is getting on my nerves.



[ Bethie ] says:
on July 11, 2008 8:51 PM

I think the Orioles in general get on my nerves. :)



[ Karen ] says:
on July 11, 2008 8:58 PM

I normally like the Orioles, just not now.



[ ecl1958 ] says:
on July 11, 2008 8:59 PM

Wow hey Bethie...didn't know anyone else was still here! Yeah, they get on my nerves, definitely.



[ Anonymous ] says:

Happy birthday to Javy. :D



[ ecl1958 ] says:
on July 11, 2008 9:08 PM

Ouchie birthday present. Glad he's okay.



[ Anonymous ] says:
on July 11, 2008 9:09 PM

Wait.. what happened? I only have Gameday today and it's being really slow.



[ ecl1958 ] says:
on July 11, 2008 9:14 PM

What, to Lopez? I think a hit ball smacked him, if I heard right.



[ Bethie ] says:
on July 11, 2008 9:15 PM

I have MLB.tv induced bitterness towards the Orioles.
I don't care what they say, there is no way in hell Baltimore is in my market if I can't watch them on TV.

:)

Plus I think they scare Okie. And that's just no good.



[ Anonymous ] says:
on July 11, 2008 9:16 PM

Ouch.



[ Karen ] says:
on July 11, 2008 9:22 PM

Enjoying listening to Remy and Don. Only get them when the Sox are home. Also enjoying the view in the bullpen.



[ Bethie ] says:
on July 11, 2008 9:24 PM

HA.....

WRKO just said Aardsma is showing a lot of sock. he he



[ Karen ] says:
on July 11, 2008 9:27 PM

Oh yeah, you should see it.



[ ecl1958 ] says:
on July 11, 2008 9:31 PM

Yay for baserunners! LOL, I can hear "Let's go Lugo" in the background on WRKO.



[ ecl1958 ] says:
on July 11, 2008 9:33 PM

NYY lost, and TB is down 5-0 top 8.



[ Bethie ] says:
on July 11, 2008 9:33 PM

And I must thank WRKO for all of these commercials of Jacoby talking about his Volvo. :)



[ Karen ] says:
on July 11, 2008 9:40 PM

The Tampa loss last nite was fun to watch. I never liked the Indians as much as I did last nite.



[ ecl1958 ] says:
on July 11, 2008 9:44 PM

Bethie, I have to laugh every time I hear the Volvo commercial because of the wording, something about living life in a Volvo. Um...it's not big enough to LIVE in, adwriters! :)



[ Bethie ] says:
on July 11, 2008 9:47 PM

But Jacoby sounds so excited talking about his shiny Volvo. :)



[ Karen ] says:
on July 11, 2008 9:47 PM

The position Tek holds when they just purposely walked Roberts, reminds me of the storm troopers in Star Wars, very cute.



[ Bethie ] says:
on July 11, 2008 9:48 PM

And HOLY CRAP...the nationals are beating the Astros 10-0.

It's like the baseball universe is out of whack or something.



[ Karen ] says:
on July 11, 2008 9:50 PM

Sorry, I met Scott they walked.



[ ecl1958 ] says:
on July 11, 2008 9:52 PM

Bethie, Jacoby does sound like a happy lad, I must say! :D



[ Adam ] says:
on July 11, 2008 9:52 PM

maybe next time Lugo will turn the double play or get the lead runner at 2nd!



[ Karen ] says:
on July 11, 2008 9:53 PM

Oh man.



[ ecl1958 ] says:
on July 11, 2008 9:53 PM

#$%^&*()*&@#$

Dammitdammitdammit...and freakin' Roberts is coming up.



[ Bethie ] says:
on July 11, 2008 9:53 PM

Well, looks like McD got a case of the Dice-K walkitis.

Double shit.



[ ecl1958 ] says:
on July 11, 2008 9:54 PM

Yeah, Adam, Lugo's recent streak of competence had to end somewhere. Bad timing.



[ Adam ] says:
on July 11, 2008 9:56 PM

I still can't believe he got called out on that play. Worst Call Ever



[ Bethie ] says:
on July 11, 2008 9:58 PM

Okay....it's time to start a rally boys!!!

Like RIGHT now.



[ jenny again ] says:
on July 11, 2008 9:59 PM

mmm, man ram.

... I HEAR IRONMAN!



[ ecl1958 ] says:
on July 11, 2008 10:00 PM

Jumuping on the bandwagon w/Bethie -- GO BATS!

Yeah Manny!



[ jenny again ] says:
on July 11, 2008 10:02 PM

aww, biscuitry.



[ Adam ] says:
on July 11, 2008 10:02 PM

Mike Lowell=slowest man alive



[ Karen ] says:
on July 11, 2008 10:02 PM

Oh man, so not good.



[ Bethie ] says:
on July 11, 2008 10:03 PM

Grrr......okay no more GIDP boys.

Unless we are turning them.



[ Adam ] says:
on July 11, 2008 10:04 PM

I like how Remy announces the Yankee shutout after Lowell killed the rally. Good job outta NESN in that spot



[ Bethie ] says:
on July 11, 2008 10:04 PM

Mike Lowell=slowest man alive

at baserunning?? Or in general??

Cause I could have sworn Prince Fielder was slower. :)



[ Karen ] says:
on July 11, 2008 10:04 PM

Tampa is losing 5-0, in the 9th. So good.



[ ecl1958 ] says:
on July 11, 2008 10:06 PM

Ya beat me to it, Karen, about TB.



[ Adam ] says:
on July 11, 2008 10:06 PM

I bet Prince Fielder could beat out Lowell in a footrace. Lowells a good base runner and great defender, but he really could be the slowest man alive



[ Danielle ] says:
on July 11, 2008 10:06 PM

even better the Rays lost



[ jenny again ] says:
on July 11, 2008 10:07 PM

so when we pull off this EPIC COMEBACK it'll be even better. ;D



[ Bethie ] says:
on July 11, 2008 10:08 PM

I'm going to try and be positive like Jenny.

Come on SOX!



[ Karen ] says:
on July 11, 2008 10:10 PM

Really starting to like the Indians, since they have been beating Tampa.



[ ecl1958 ] says:
on July 11, 2008 10:15 PM

mfsobmfsobmfsob...



[ jenny again ] says:
on July 11, 2008 10:15 PM

just asking for an even more epic comeback now ...



[ Karen ] says:
on July 11, 2008 10:16 PM

This is so not good.



[ Bethie ] says:
on July 11, 2008 10:16 PM

I hate baseball.



[ ecl1958 ] says:
on July 11, 2008 10:18 PM

I'm sad.



[ Karen ] says:
on July 11, 2008 10:20 PM

I'm sad too.



[ jenny again ] says:
on July 11, 2008 10:21 PM

man, i'd love to see us roll this line-up over. c'mon, v-tek!



[ Karen ] says:
on July 11, 2008 10:21 PM

Let's go Teky.



[ jenny again ] says:
on July 11, 2008 10:22 PM

(pedey needs to reach that 18 game hit-streak ;D )



[ jenny again ] says:
on July 11, 2008 10:24 PM

man, right now we're only a game back ...



[ Karen ] says:
on July 11, 2008 10:24 PM

Oh god.



[ Karen ] says:
on July 11, 2008 10:26 PM

Oh man, Lugo's down.



[ ecl1958 ] says:
on July 11, 2008 10:27 PM

WRKO said he screamed in pain. Now I want to cry...

get him on ice immediately please...



[ Karen ] says:
on July 11, 2008 10:28 PM

We're still alive.



[ Bethie ] says:
on July 11, 2008 10:29 PM

Damn, we need Pedey power right now.



[ ecl1958 ] says:
on July 11, 2008 10:29 PM

(begging...pleading...)



[ jenny again ] says:
on July 11, 2008 10:29 PM

::does a little good-luck dance for pedey::



[ Karen ] says:
on July 11, 2008 10:29 PM

Yeah I saw Lugo go down, it looked painful. Looked like quad or hamstring.



[ jenny again ] says:
on July 11, 2008 10:30 PM

"right thru the wickets," says d.o. ;D

::hopes lugie is ok::



[ ecl1958 ] says:
on July 11, 2008 10:30 PM

There it is again Bethie..."Live together in a Volvo." LOL...



[ Jessi ] says:
on July 11, 2008 10:30 PM

Hey guys, just got in. Hmm Clay didn't fair too well... what happend to Youk (heard something about his ankle)?

Good news though: Yankees and Rays both lost 5-0 (and Yanks only got two hits haha).



[ ecl1958 ] says:
on July 11, 2008 10:31 PM

:::Sending Lugie a big feel-better hug:::



[ Bethie ] says:
on July 11, 2008 10:32 PM

Jacoby wants us to know that Volvo is the official car of the Red Sox! :)



[ ecl1958 ] says:
on July 11, 2008 10:34 PM

:::hyperventilating:::



[ Bethie ] says:
on July 11, 2008 10:34 PM

oh lord, this game is so gonna give me an ulcer.



[ Karen ] says:
on July 11, 2008 10:35 PM

Bases loaded. I don't get Sox commercials, I get general Mlb commercials on mlb.tv. I am so sick of the All-Star commercial with Jeter.



[ Jessi ] says:
on July 11, 2008 10:36 PM

Well that was sucky.

Better luck tomorrow!



[ Bethie ] says:
on July 11, 2008 10:36 PM

DAMMIT!!!

Youk is gonna go postal.

That sucked.



[ ecl1958 ] says:
on July 11, 2008 10:37 PM

(sigh)...good try. Poor Pedey's streak. Poor Lugo's leg. Poor us.



[ Jessi ] says:
on July 11, 2008 10:37 PM

Hmm maybe we'll see Lowrie again?



[ Bethie ] says:
on July 11, 2008 10:38 PM

I need ice cream.



[ ecl1958 ] says:
on July 11, 2008 10:38 PM

I think I'm gonna have a beer. I was too full from dinner to have it earlier, but now I deserve one, dammit. :(



[ ecl1958 ] says:
on July 11, 2008 10:39 PM

Oh yeah, Lowrie, that's right, Jessi.



[ Bethie ] says:
on July 11, 2008 10:40 PM

Ah well....let's hope Dice K can deliver an ass whoopin to da birds tomorrow. We have to strike while the iron is hot and the Indians are beating up on the Rays.

See y'all tomorrow!



[ ecl1958 ] says:
on July 11, 2008 10:43 PM

Hoping for a better tomorrow!



[ Karen ] says:
on July 11, 2008 10:46 PM

See you all tomorrow.



[ Ian ] says:
on July 12, 2008 2:28 AM

sorry folks, I passed out. I've been on a strange sleep schedule as of late.
