almost forgot I had the skanks announcers on there for a sec.
When the inning came back, I was like where did jerry and don go.
Stupid fireworks here at the beach tonight have made my neighborhood a traffic jam. I left for the grocery store at 6:45 got there at 7:00. It's normally a 5 minute drive.
As much as I don't like the viagra ads or the ED ads, they helped me in pharmacology last semester! haha the only time those drug ads will ever go to good use
hey everyone...so i've been MIA for about a month...my daughter had her tonsils and adenoids out....the recovery process did not go as smoothly as we hoped....she's finally feeling better...and we're hitting the ball...life is good at the moment
thanks jules.....at least Tek's making progress...he walked, scored a run and advanced a runner....seems like more then he's done in a long time....now all we need is a hit
Jules, that was fc who asked about Pedey...I was MIA for a few minutes to gobble dinner.
Erin, the ads are not only random but unrealistic. A jacuzzi type arrangement for the couple, maybe. But two separate tubs? I guess the advertisers are giving it the prissy "I Love Lucy" treatment a la 1950s, where the couple slept in separate beds.
Ian, Damon was surely a huge factor in 2004. I liked him a lot back then (and I was still a NYY fan at the time), but once I heard about how he treated his first wife and dumped her for Michelle, I lost all respect for him. He went from being one of my favorite players to being someone I didn't even want to look at.
Ian, have you heard any speculation about Masterson being traded? Forget where I read that today...probably just musings by whoever it was, but I didn't like to see that.
Honestly I don't think Masterson will get traded or even be mentioned. He's a part of the rotation for next year. Remember you have to replace at least Schilling, maybe Wakefield (he's a free agent) and Colon most likely.
I can tell you this though. The Indians will be shopping C.C. Sabathia soon and you will hear the Red Sox being mentioned. You'll also hear about 10 other teams as well.
So has it been established that Colon has been a truckload of FAIL? And I thought Sabathia was having a not-so-good year. Is that just a fluke, ya think?
I can yes. But fireworks don't do anything for me. After watching them on a constant basis for 9 years of minor league baseball, their appeal to me is gone.
Well, I love seeing the Boston fireworks from my roof. I have a perfect line-of-sight view, except for an apartment building that blocks the low-to-the-ground sparkly displays. I keep trying to have something done about that but apparently the people who live there don't agree.
Ahhh, Ian, you've become so jaded. I don't get to see them often, but they almost always wow me. I used to have a friend whose house was literally on an outcropping above our local minor league stadium, and it was great fun to stand on her porch and watch the rockets' red glare at eye level and hear the noise echoing between the ridges that surround the stadium. I would get absolutely transfixed every time I was there when they had a fireworks display.
My town has the minor league playing, and fireworks afterward. But where I work is a much larger city and they are having a big celebration. After working over 9hrs tomorrow, won't be fun for me. I would rather head home and watch the game archived.
A complete game from Lester would be so cool.
I admit I had, not so much doubts, but questions about him at the start of the season but he has made a believer out of me.
yes, the Bob ads are bad, but I those Aflac commercials are the worst...maybe because my daughter thinks it's funny to randomly run over to me and go AFLAC....
My theory, albeit kinda lame, is that we just got off a run of inter-league play, which I personally hate. And that last run at Houston, I think that kinda took some wind out of their sails. Cause again, we lost a few that we should have easily won. So when they made it to Tampa...well....shit happens.
I dunno. I know the Rays have improved and they are all about knowing how to actually play baseball now. I get that. But that sweep hurt my soul, seriously. But I know tonight did the team a lot of good. Let's hope they can run with it.
i'll have to look into that ec....yay for tomorrow...a lunch date to Friendly's w/ my favorite 4 year old....then some yankee/redsox with my favorite ass kickin pitcher =)
No doubt the whole team is going to sleep well tonight. The WRKO guys were of the opinion that we were going on adrenaline tonight, having reached the hotel at 4:00 a.m. So the adrenaline surge-fueled win + a good night's sleep, equals kick some ass this weekend! RAH!
OK. I made this point earlier. Coco's out for 5 games, Red Sox lose 5.
Coco returns, Red Sox end 5-game losing streak.
Discuss
^ They lost 5 games by 1 run. When they're hot they could have easily won any or all of those games, when they're cold they find new ways to lose. Not much to it. Delcarmen and Hansen were hot a couple weeks ago, now they aren't. Plus before tonight Varitek hadn't had a hit in a couple years

I've been gone the past 3 days and the Sox get swept by Tampa? D:
Bring on Pettitte.
