Workday midweek game... whee!

A little click-click boom montage to start off our afternoon of Red Sox baseball.

Here. So looking forward to this. Got 4hrs sleep.

Did I miss roll call Karen? :D

Hey folks. I'm completely slammed at work today so probably won't be around much. I'll be eating lunch after awhile so will try to drop by at that point. Enjoy the game -- and GO SOX!

Although I may disappear now. I just got the go-ahead to put my sites back online.

Sorry Ian, I get used to saying here, from im with my friend. If I don't text for awhile she asks.

Hey all!

I love half days of school!

Kots at first, huh? Interesting.

Is it OK to say I hate Roberts as much as he hates Wakefield?

Brian Roberts looks like a troll doll.

Yes, it always is....in my opinion.

Good to know--I was worried it makes me a horrible person.

And how many damn pitches is Markakis going to foul off?

Crap!

ugh

OK - who gave Julio Lugo's glove to Coco? FESS UP.

Dice-K: Please get your s*** together.

Nah, as Olympia Dukakis said in Steel Magnolia's - "if you don't have anything nice to say about anybody, come sit by me! "

Well, that was ugly, but at least Dice-K didn;t let it get to him... the way we've been swing the lumber, the O's will need more than 1 to beat us...

TG: My money is on Kotsay. (He wants to play RF, and by getting Coco out of the game, he gets to go back to RF, and Bailey takes first.)

But the other question--did the glove make Lugo suck, or did Lugo make the glove suck?

Dice-K has a spectacular knack for working himself into very bad situations very quickly.

Fortunately, he also seems to work his way out of them almost every time.

Dice-KK!

That was a swing?

now were talking! if the O's stay as aggresive as they were last night, we might see

"Dice-KKKKK KKKKK"

BLR: Wouldn't that make him a Dice-10K?

(Sorry, I couldn't resist. . . .)

Hey, the pun wasn't THAT bad--where did everybody go?

I'm here. I'm just organizing school stuff.

hey, can someone post the link to Gameday?

I can never find it. thanks.

I'm here. I just turned on mlb.tv though, so I'm still reading Gameday to catch up on what's happened so far.

So not good.

Crap. Crap. Crap.

Crap.

C'mon Daisuke, GET THE OUTS.

Argh! Come on, Dice!

Crap.

What happened to our players between last night and today? Too much partying?

One more out Dice, you can do it.

Karen - Someone took their magic necklaces away and gave 'em to the Orioles. That's all I can come up with.

It's the curse of the day games... at least that's my theory

When was the last time we won a day game?

I have absolutely no idea....

I understand I don't like daytime.

Well that was a painful inning

Just passing through again. This appears to be a sucky day for us. :::growls:::

C'mon guys, get it together!

Very painful.

ROBBIE ROADSTEAMER!

Found it. Last time we won a day game was on August 24th at Toronto.

Just got back from a Dr.s appointment and I do not like what I've seen right now....

That being said, I think they can still possibly pull this out. Why not, right?

Cathy - "Robbie Roadsteamer?"

Seeing as they've already gone into their bullpen? Yeah, I think we've got at least a chance now.

He was on Sox Appeal last year, and Don and Jerry made fun of him, until they decided that they weren't going to make fun of him anymore because he looked like he had people that could beat them up.

Thanks, Cathy.

JACOBY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THANK YOU JACOBY!!!

Jacoby! He's awesome. Definitely needs a pay raise.

I can has rally please?

Remember Red Sox -- the Yankees will most likely not help you tonight so win the damn game please to keep it at 4 back, mmkay?

What the heck is going on? I get out of a meeting and see this admination.....Roadsteamer is at the game? I'm a fan of his song, "I Got Construction Boots!"

*crickets*

Did they use all their bats last night? This is almost depressing

This is bad. I got very little sleep and stayed awake for this. So looking forward to Beckett on Friday.

Sounds pretty much like their bats are all used up or they're already on offday mode. Not good to do that during an afternoon game. Especially against the Orioles bullpen. :P

You aren't the only one Karen

WOOOOHHOOOOOOO PEDIE!!!!!!!

I left the room, and Pedey scored. Yeah.

Looks like I popped my head back in at the best possible time. He's just...amazing. And his BA is now up to .332.

Karen - Ha. I did the same thing.

At least we're not being shutout.

AC! Which gives Coco an excellent opportunity to make up for the E-8.

Left the room for a moment and come back to see the bases loaded. Nice work, boys.

I'm so headed for a nap after this.

Hey everyone, just got home from school. Can't actually watch the game, so I'm going by what you guys say. My dad says Jacoby made a great catch at some point?

Ughh did not realize today was a game day! By the looks of it though, it hasn't been all that enjoyable (minus Pedie's and Jacoby's super powers).

B - Yes, he did. Robbed Huff of a homer.

Thanks, Mac! Bummed I missed that... stupid physics!!!

Pedie!!!

Dustin is carrying the whole team on his tiny, gritty, hustling, scrappy back.

B - a video of his catch is on GameDay

C'mon, Kots. BE THE HERO.

KOTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

KOTSAYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!1

DUUUUUDE! that was a fabulous catch.

In other news, happy 22nd birthday to Shaun White, Olympic gold snowboarding medalist and kickass skateboarder. Yup.

Oh this is so awesome. Yipee!!

Go New^3 Guy!

(I knew if I stayed away things would get better. . . .)

OMG. KOTSAY!!!

C'mon, Bay. Base hit.

Bring him home, Tek!!!!

C'mon, Tek!!

whyyyy? WHY, TEK??? Thank God for gameday....

Gosh, looks like I missed some fun while I was otherwise occupied. Keeping fingers and toes crossed!

Masterson!

KK-Mast!

Triple K for Masterson! Woohoo!

aw man, ejection? I'm missing all the visual entertainment....

Not all that interesting B, just an old guy arguing a strike call.

It's probably better than algebra homework... *sigh*

COCO!!!

Coco with the bunting!

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!

JACOBYYY!!!!

WALKOFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

MOTHER'S DAY MIRACLE REDUX!!!!

Woohoo!! Awesome!!

JACOBY!!

WAIT, WHAT?! What'd I just miss?!

God do I feel sorry for the Orioles.

Maaah, I *so* cannot wait to get home and watch the archived game!

Way to go, guys!!!

From ESPN, B:

A Cora singled to right. 4 4
C Crisp reached on bunt single to pitcher, A Cora to second. 4 4
J Ellsbury sacrificed into fielder's choice to pitcher, A Cora to third, C Crisp to second, A Cora scored, J Ellsbury to first on throwing error by pitcher J Miller. 4 5

Sox walkoff with win!

LOL See what happens w/ Cora whenever I do my homework?! :D

Also holy crap was Coco lucky there...I loved his postgame interview

Actually, my Gameday is frozen. What *did* we miss. It says "in play, runs."

I never feel sorry for the Orioles.

B - According to Gameday, Jacoby hit a sac bunt and Cora scored on a throwing error by the pitcher.

I'm gonna have to watch the end again later. Was trying to type fast enough before mlb.tv cut out.
Nice ending. See you all Friday. I have to get some sleep.

Enjoy your sleep, Karen. I'll have to watch the game later, or at least the end of it.

Coco's interview was awesome!

Cathy - Indeed, it was.

Off to watch the rest of the Giants game and possibly see Zito get the win. Bye all!

Whoa. My dad let me watch that last part on TV. Nice work, gentlemen. But I also feel bad for the O's. What did Coco's interview say?

Here is Coco's interview.

Thanks, Cathy! That was great! Well, I still have some physics homework to deal with, so I'll see you all later. Bye!
