Sox Video Roundup

I will now present a complete and total summary of the events that transpired in Anaheim this past weekend.

Yep. That pretty much sums up the weekend's series against the Angels.

As a distraction this gloomy Monday morning, I've got the best videos from this weekend's ~~victories~~ ~~games~~ breakdowns on the West coast.

#1: Manny's roll in the grass, er, attempt to dive-catch a ball.
#2: Jed Lowrie reads the lineup for FOX.
#3: Coco Crisp sacrifices life and limb to make a catch.

First up, Manny's outstanding gold glove-caliber performance in left field on Friday night. Jacoby can't decide if and how he should go after the ball hiding underneath Manny's butt.

Jed and Coco after the jump...

Next up, baby rookie Jed gets to step into the spotlight and read the lineup for FOX during Saturday's game. Anyone else get the feeling that the players have no desire to do these segments, and so foist them off on the new guys (Sean Casey) and the rookies (Jed Lowrie)?

And finally, by popular demand, Coco's wall-smashing catch in the outfield on Saturday night. How very Bacon Pants of you, Coco. Josh Beckett really loved that catch.

Jacoby was at a total loss for how to deal with the ball Manny's laying on. Ha.

Lowrie's adorable. He just can't stop smiling.

Arguably the best part about Coco's catch was the nearly identical one Jonathan van Every made in Pawtucket!

That "catch" from Manny was totally fucktarded. That's the first time I've seen the entire NESN coverage of it including confused Jacoby. Oh boy. *eyeroll*

Love Jed "oh gosh" Lowrie. He just screams Opie Taylor.

Coco can make some amazing catches. And there's another one to add to Josh's "highlight reel of me with my arms raised in the air." :)

Thanks TG. Nice snippets.

On the game highlights ESPN showed Theo Epstein immediately following Manny's "catch" and he just rolled his eyes. haha perfect! And I like how on one of the replays you see just a red arm come in but then quickly get pulled back like "uh, he can get the ball himself"

confused!Jacoby is the best part of that. And Tito pacing and looking like it's really hard for him to keep from screaming.

Jed is a cutie. I love him.

Coco makes the best catches. Holy shit.

Does anyone have the video of the aftermath of the Manny play?
i.e. Theo/Lowell reactions.
