Quiet day, huh? Game is currently in a rain delay. Not sure for how long though.

Hey Piney (and anyone else)...I'm here at work until 8:15 so am posting on the fly.

How's the radar up there? Does it look hopeful? I don't have time to check, otherwise would take a look for myself. Anyway, if the delay lasts long enough I may not miss too much of the game. That would be nice. Will check in again before I leave the office...

I hate rain delays! But I guess it would be good if you got to watch more of the game, ecl.



[ ecl1958 ] says:

Now mind you, I don't want y'all to have to wait on my account! I was thinking that I'd miss at least the first three innings with the regular start time, though, so depending on how long the delay is, I may only miss two innings, or even less. At least it's a Friday, so most of us don't have to worry about the game going until later in the evening...

Hi All! Checking in from the Hartford Airport - on my way to Baltimore for some Sox/O's baseball (in a few days). ;D

How psyched am I that the Jimmy Fund telethon made its $4 million goal already!?

MLB.com says the game's postponed...



[ Cathy ] says:
on August 15, 2008 8:36 PM

Postponed to be played at 12:35 tomorrow.



[ Cathy ] says:
on August 15, 2008 8:37 PM

Not tomorrow---September 13th.



[ Jessi ] says:
on August 15, 2008 8:38 PM

Ugh rain-outs suck. Oh well, Oympics tonight!



[ ecl1958 ] says:

I knew that radar didn't look good.  Oh well...can catch up on my LJ and e-mail stuff tonight.  Thanks for the makeup date info, Mac and Cathy.  See you folks tomorrow evening.

Take two - use this thread again for tonight's game!



[ Cathy ] says:
on August 16, 2008 7:06 PM

Pickoff!



[ Mac ] says:
on August 16, 2008 7:07 PM

Nice pickoff!



[ ecl1958 ] says:

Hey all...getting some supper together but am here...



[ Cathy ] says:
on August 16, 2008 7:20 PM

Crap!



[ Angie ] says:
on August 16, 2008 7:30 PM

Yay for the red jerseys



[ ecl1958 ] says:
on August 16, 2008 7:34 PM

I agree, Angie. Our guys look just great in red!



[ Cathy ] says:
on August 16, 2008 7:35 PM

Please no rain delay!



[ Mac ] says:
on August 16, 2008 7:36 PM

I'm gonna have to agree there, too. Love the red jerseys.



[ Angie ] says:
on August 16, 2008 7:43 PM

Woah I just noticed Pedie's scruff has gotten really thick! I was gone for a week and it looks totally different.



[ Bethie ] says:
on August 16, 2008 7:43 PM

Hey everyone!! Pet sitting for the neighbors, so just popping in for a minute.

Woo hoo, red jersey night! Let's hope Halladay doesn't whoop our butts.

Have fun everybody!



[ Cathy ] says:
on August 16, 2008 7:44 PM

They showed a closeup of Pedie's scruff in an interview, and i burt out laughing. it's 3x's more ridiculous closeup.



[ Cathy ] says:
on August 16, 2008 7:45 PM

*burst



[ ecl1958 ] says:
on August 16, 2008 7:58 PM

Looks like he's a tough old Byrd.



[ Meghan ] says:
on August 16, 2008 7:59 PM

Correct me if I'm wrong, but Cash used to be #36 right?



[ Cathy ] says:
on August 16, 2008 8:00 PM

Yeah he did, but he gave it to Byrd. And byrd is going to buy him a pair of shoes or something in return.



[ Mac ] says:
on August 16, 2008 8:00 PM

Yup. Cash used to wear #36, but let Byrd have the number when the Sox got him. He's gonna be wearing #30 now. It's in the Globe, I think.



[ Cathy ] says:
on August 16, 2008 8:10 PM

He was out!



[ Cathy ] says:
on August 16, 2008 8:21 PM

52 pitches for Halladay? Something needs to be done about that.



[ Meghan ] says:
on August 16, 2008 8:24 PM

I was worried that keeping the ball in the park here would be a problem for Byrd...and so far my fears don't seem to be unfounded:-(



[ Mac ] says:
on August 16, 2008 8:24 PM

Dammit.



[ ecl1958 ] says:
on August 16, 2008 8:25 PM

This so does not bode well...



[ Cathy ] says:
on August 16, 2008 8:41 PM

Runs would be nice.



[ Ian ] says:
on August 16, 2008 8:46 PM

quiet night here



[ ecl1958 ] says:
on August 16, 2008 8:49 PM

Trying to multitask so haven't been posting much.



[ Cathy ] says:
on August 16, 2008 8:50 PM

I really don't like Roy Halladay and his low pitch counts.

Crap!



[ Ian ] says:
on August 16, 2008 8:53 PM

I am out at my parents lakehouse and they are watching the olympics. I'm hooked the cable up to the computer out here to watch the game.



[ ecl1958 ] says:
on August 16, 2008 9:00 PM

Ian, that sounds idyllic...watching a game "out here" by a lake.



[ ecl1958 ] says:
on August 16, 2008 9:02 PM

I could swear that they were just playing zydeco music in the background on the NESN feed.



[ Ian ] says:
on August 16, 2008 9:02 PM

it's so relaxing out here. I'm ready for bed.



[ ecl1958 ] says:
on August 16, 2008 9:07 PM

Ian, I'm jealous! I'm uploading a bunch of my old CDs onto my I-Tunes, and just got off the phone with my mom. My sister and family are in town from the West Coast, and tomorrow we'll be getting together for the first time since Christmas (so I'll miss the latter part of the game).



[ Ian ] says:
on August 16, 2008 9:09 PM

I'm actually upset though. My dad just filled the hot tub up after their vacation so I have to wait until the morning to use it.



[ ecl1958 ] says:
on August 16, 2008 9:12 PM

Ian, if you go to sleep right after the game you won't miss it a bit!



[ Ian ] says:
on August 16, 2008 9:14 PM

the earliest i'm going to bed is at least 11:30 since phelps swims again for #8 at 10:58 PM.



[ Mary ] says:
on August 16, 2008 9:15 PM

DUSTIN!!!!

*SQUEAL*



[ Cathy ] says:
on August 16, 2008 9:15 PM

PEDIE!!!!!!!!!!!



[ Angie ] says:
on August 16, 2008 9:16 PM

Pedieee!



[ ecl1958 ] says:
on August 16, 2008 9:18 PM

Thanks for reminding me, Ian. I'll have to keep an eye on the news from the Olympics a little later this evening.



[ Jacqueline ] says:
on August 16, 2008 9:22 PM

Gah, what a disappointing game. Hopefully tomorrow Red Sox do better. After all, I'm going to that game.



[ Cathy ] says:
on August 16, 2008 9:22 PM

That last pitch to JD was not a strike!



[ M ] says:
on August 16, 2008 9:23 PM

Jacqueline - Wow, I was just going to type the same thing. I'm going to that game, too :D



[ ecl1958 ] says:
on August 16, 2008 9:23 PM

Not our night. Jacqueline, I hope you enjoy tomorrow's game and that our guys come through for you.



[ Cathy ] says:
on August 16, 2008 9:24 PM

You guys are so lucky you get to see Beckett pitch!



[ Mary ] says:
on August 16, 2008 9:25 PM

Wow that last post was supposed to be from me, not M.
Oopsie. Looks like I can't type.



[ Jacqueline ] says:
on August 16, 2008 9:40 PM

Thanks guys!
I'll be wearing my Ellsbury jersey.



[ Ian ] says:
on August 16, 2008 9:43 PM

My parents are going to the game tomorrow as well. hence the reason why I'm here tonight so i can dog sit tomorrow



[ Mary ] says:
on August 16, 2008 9:57 PM

My 2 friends that I'm going with and I just made a big sign tonight. It says "Leominster loves NESN" and "Happy Birthday Dustin!"

It's also very glittery. :)



[ Cathy ] says:
on August 16, 2008 10:07 PM

I'll have to look out for you on TV, then. I'm sure they'll show that sign at some point.



[ Bianca ] says:
on August 17, 2008 9:53 PM

Where is today's open thread for the game? I'm lost. :(
