4 hours early?? does that mean you're in St. Pete for the weekend???

Go Sox!

I am going tomorrow night, so happy to see Beckett again. A lot further from the field than I like, but still good.

Karen - Have fun!

Bring your ear plugs with those damn cowbells.

I've been going through major Sox withdrawal over the past few days. I am SO READY for this game -- GO SOX!

I'm excited that I get to watch NESN pre-game coverage! :)

I won't want to leave!

GO SOX!!

Wow.... up early today!
You all might have to put up with me tonight.... everyone I usually watch the game with went home for the weekend :(

Either way... GO SOX!

Hey y'all!

What an epic week. I had to deal with Nevada on my BS speeding ticket. Nice to know that extortion is actually legal. My parents had to put their beloved golden down last night. They were too upset to drive, so I did. Ripped my heart right out. I bought him for my Dad for Christmas 12 years ago.

BUT...it's a new day! I'm ready for an ass-kicking tonight.

off to make carrot cake...

Ok, so, I'm not gonna be near a tv for most of the weekend and I decided to buy the post season package on mlb.tv so I can watch the games. I log in to watch the Dodgers/Phillies and I find that I'm blacked out from all games. WTF?

*headdesk*

I hate mlb.tv.

/rant

It's only the start of the 7th inning in Philadelphia...what do they think this is - the World Series??
Jules, my heart aches for your parents & their beloved dog.
Carrot cake?? Hubs just went to the store to pick up ice cream. Yeah, baby! GO SOX!!

jules, I'm so sorry to hear about your parents' dog.

My condolences, jules.

jules, my heart goes out to you and your family. There are few things in life better than a good doggie (or kitty) buddy.

I had a CRAP day and I'm sick again (still?). Let's get some baseball on and make it better.

Is it time yet? I really don't get why the nl is on fox and the al is on tbs. What annoys me about fox is that blonde chick. By the end of the world series last year I wanted her gone. What is it with the white rags? I'm so excited about tomorrow night, just stinks that I couldn't get a closer seat, I haven't sat up on the 3rd level in 4yrs. I am usually close to the sox bullpen.

If y'all need me tonight, you can call me here 860-760-1846 and don't hesitate to call.

PLEASE tell me someone just saw NESN's pregame.

I kinda wanted to punch the guy behind the lady getting interviewed. Absolutely annoying.

And yet vaguely amusing....

Mary - I'm one of the non NESNers. What happened?

Heidi was interviewing people outside the Trop and she talked to a Rays fan and then a Sox fan and there was a guy standing behind the Sox fan and he kept saying "go rays."

Not like yelling it. Just saying it. And it was kinda obnoxious.

It was like he was trying to interrupt her, but lamely.

"Your boos do nit hurt me - I am the great Tito!"

And I just love the little slap he gives Dustin on the back of the head :)

Oh, man, that sounds annoying. And slightly sad.

They're saying YOOOOUUK and DREWWWWWWW

Oh, I thought when Tito came out it was to a chorus of boos

Just to clarify -- I was responding to the comment about the annoying Rays guy, not Tito.

As much as I am excited about going tomorrow night, I am not looking forward to the noise. What is with the smoke and fireworks indoors

Hey everyone!

OK, I admit it. I am veryveryvery nervous about this game and about this series.

I've been too busy to get nervous yet, fc...but the more I think about the more nervous I will probably get.

Oh, and yay Phillies.

I've got mixed feelings about the current state of the Phillies-Dodgers series. Not sure what I want there...

Okay, time to make myself comfortable in front of the TV. Will be back...

So how many times do you think we'll hear about the Rays "worst to first" season

Yay Phillies.

I am so excited, and nervous. I was watching Beckett's interview, and Lowell's. Lowell is very personable. Beckett usually looks pissed, drugged, or tired.

Sager, Purple?

Yay Phillies! BEAT LA!

They're playing "Stronger" at the Trop. Massive flashbacks to a year ago for anyone else?

Karen - Sager's wearing purple today? Is it hideous? (I'm TBS Hot Corner/Gameday only today.)

I'm ready for some serious revenge.

Sager was showing video of when he was on the catwalk earlier, that would make me sick. I so hate heights.

So happy to see the sox dugout again on tbs hot corner. I really think it was because they were at home. Oh man, I can hear the noise through the tv, in person tomorrow should be loud.

Make the cowbells stop.

Hey everyone!

I have been waiting for this game all day - minus the cowbells. I swear if I turned off the tv I'd be able to hear them in Orlando...

YOUK!!

YOUK!

Damn, I was hoping they'd get more out of that hit.

YOUK!

YOOOOOOOOUKKKKKKK

i love seeing youks batting avg as 1.000

Not a happy start.

Ugh.

Damn

I have a feeling I will still have a headache Sunday morning from that noise. As much as I don't like the rays, I do love Longoria's walk up song. Have to admit it's the ringer on my phone.

Well, we worked the pitcher.

Dammit.

Yes, fc, we did do that much.

As much as I enjoy the tbs hot corner view, they tend to zoom in on tito a lot, please zoom in on someone hot.

When I tried out the Hot Corner view a few days ago, it was boring -- just from one spot and yeah, it was always Tito. Couldn't really see much of anyone else.

Throw strikes Dice

-whimpers-

Daisuke Matsuzaka, THROW STRIKES.

Why am I so pessimistic about tonight's game?

C'mon, Daisuke. Execute the pitches and throw strikes!

C'mon, Dice!

A double play would be nice right now.

thank you

That also works!

Dice-K!

I was wondering if I needed a drink for this game, I'm beginning to think so.

Did someone forget to tell Dice we're in the postseason?

walking the bases loaded is not a good way to start

Dammit Dice-K! GET THE OUT.

DICE.

STRIKES.

PLZTHX.

He always makes me nervous.

OH THANK GOD

Do I even want to know his pitch count?

::breathing again:: really no need to make it interesting this early Dice...thanks

My blood pressure doesn't need this, Dice.

Mary I guess not.

Thank God thats over.

THANK YOU.

DON'T EVER DO THAT AGAIN, DAISUKE.

My heart cannot take a whole game like this.

Strangely, I stayed pretty chill through all that.
Could I actually have faith in our Houdini?

Maybe he was just trying to get his walks out of the way early, so the rest of the 4 innings are smooth sailing?

Cathy - I hope so.

I'm so excited about going tomorrow night, that I am so far from calm.

any more innings like the first and I won't have fingernails left.

Damn the fucking cowbells to hell!

Really how many of these people went to any games during the regular season?

I should add that I know there are some real fans of the Rays.

I went in April, and June and bought my tickets last minute, not many people there. It wasn't until September that they all showed up.

Dice-KK

Dice-KK!

Erin, probably 4 of them.

"They have athletes all over the place!"

Are you serious? Cause, like, I had no idea this was a sport.

Liza, my thought was, "really, baseball players are athletes, ya don't say"

One of my friends is a Mets fan, but I caught him the other day wearing a Rays hat.

I wanted to smack him.

Liza - Seriously? Did one of the TBS announcers actually say that?

Mac - They were talking about how Gross used to be a QB and how so many other Rays were multisport athletes in high school and college. Then they said that.

Liza- That comment makes my head hurt.

more 1-2-3 innings ok Dice

Most of the rays fans around me the last time I went, had no clue about baseball. They couldn't figure out what made a ball an out, and how to figure out if a ball was foul. It was really sad.

Wow, Liza, I know I'm spacy tonight, but I didn't even catch that. How ridiculous...

Dice needs to try out that get-rid-of-first-inning-jitters warmup Buch used earlier in the year.

Liza - Thanks.

http://tinyurl.com/4cthhm

I forgot Tampa Bay had cheerleaders.

They did not just say they have waited a long time in Central Florida - 11 years - whoop dee damn doo

I can't stand the female cheerleaders, they look more like whores.

Most of the so called fans weren't fans a year ago, so it's not the same, they haven't waited.

I'm sorry the only fans who can say they waited a long time are Cubs fans

Wait, Tampa has cheerleaders?

Ugh.

Youk agrees with you.

Exactly, Karen.
At UCF it's ridiculous, there have always been us transplants from MA or NY but now you see 1-2 Rays shirts a day and I just want to ask them when they figured out there was a team in Tampa/St. Pete

Cheerleaders for baseball in general is just wierd. Only football and maybe basketball games

Some hockey teams have them now also.

I bet Rays "fans" are going to love Youk's comment

Marlins have cheerleaders also. And now there's are worse looking, black pleather boots up to their crotch, short short black shorts that look more like underwear, and bras. It is really bad. I was at a Marlin game earlier this year.

http://tinyurl.com/marlinmaledancers

Dice-KKKK

Dice-KKKK!

thanks Ian...now that I would find entertaining

back to what i was doing, if you need you can call me here 860-760-1846

DaisuKKKKKe

Dice-KKKKK!

Okay call him Big Papi if you can't handle his last name because I really can't tolerate listening to you anymore, Buck

I take it they're still mispronouncing Ortiz.

Second hit for Youk!

Mac - yea they are

I understand this is an important game, but wouldn't you think the players would still have time to zip up their pants, before returning to the dugout.

YOUK....can we just clone him

Same here. Or when announcers try to pronounce Dasiuke's name like it's spelled. Dai-soo-kay? Really?

Ugh.

dam announcers jinxed it

That sucked

Angie - That annoyed me to death.

Dammit.

Casey interview on hot corner right now.

Dice-KKKKKK

Dice-KKKKKK!

They keep saying DaisuKE... as in "Dice-KAY." It's bugging me more than the Ortiz thing.

Dice-KKKKKKK!

Dice is making me smile.

Time for some run support Dice.

*for Dice.

That is NOT a ballpark.

Almost as bad as the Marlins in the middle of a football field.

Kotsay!!

KOTSAY

Kotsay!

KOTSAY!

Well whaddya know, it's Kotsay.

KOTSAY!!

come on Jed...get him home

Woohoo!!

JED!

good job Jedders!

Jed and his longlost big brother strike once again!

Run support, party of one.

JED!!!

Driving in his long lost older brother again. :D

JBay!

Ohh sorry - Jed!

Haha, I was watching JBay score on TBS HotCorner and mixed them up.

Jessi - Haha. It's pretty easy to confuse the two. They look so similar!

well one's better then nothing

Haha yea they do. Also, my lack of sleep has contributed to me being very out of it.

Damn.

That sounded like a good play.

The more I look at them, the less alike they look to me.

I'm totally out of it too, Jessi. I'm really having trouble staying awake. :::rubs eyes:::

I beg to differ. Bay and Lowrie are completely different body type, stances, move differently...

Dice-KKKKKKKK

Dice-KKKKKKKK

I totally get the lack of sleep causing issues -
Tuesday I had clinical for 3 hours then came home and had to study for my test Wednesday
I closed my eyes, thinking Id have a 10 min catnap. Well at 6pm (after 1 1/2 hours of sleeping) my uncle called, waking me up

I had done the same thing on Sunday too - but for a half that time

Buch just had a 1-2-3 inning in the Arizona Fall League.

Also, anyone else notice Dice's... linescore?

Nice job saying it, TBS.

What a GORGEOUS catch by JD!

Holy shit! I just noticed Dice-K's...um line.

DREWWWWWW

I was up all night bidding on ebay for a ticket, so I didn't get more than 3hrs sleep today. Hoping to sleep tonight, since I have to drive 3 1/2hrs each way tomorrow.

Liza - I totally forgot that Clay was pitching tonight. Thanks for the info. And, yeah, I noticed, but I didn't want to say anything.

Liza, yea I noticed it too last inning. And then Chip Caray flat out said "a no-no through the 5th."

See, Liza, TBS is allowed to say it. And of course I (probably lots of us) noticed.

JD...he makes it look so easy

I am convinced that TBS is trying to jinx the entire game for the Sox. "Drew has hit into # double plays." "Dice-K has retired # in a row."

..."Dice-K's --bleep--." WTF? You never mention the line during the game!

Time for some more run support for Dice!

The TBS announcers are Sox-haters

Tek is in the dugout eating. ( on the tbs hot corner)

HA - Youk just put his hand over the camera.
And I think Tek was having a snack pak.

I saw that, that wasn't nice. It looked like applesauce. At least there is no mic, that wouldn't be good.

Karen, you don't want to hear what they have to say? :::cracking up...might make your ears burn:::

ecl, what?

Sorry lack of sleep. Get it now.

You said there's no mic, that wouldn't be good. So I take it you don't want to listen to them. Or else I'm so tired I'm not comprehending.

You too, huh? :::grins:::

DUSTIN PEDROIA I LOVE YOU

PEDIE

I am so tired, and have to leave by noon to get there in time tomorrow to get a parking space. I would normally have some wine, but it would probably knock me out right now.

Who knew Kotsay could play such good first base?

WOW. That sounded like a great play.

Loving Drew out there.

YAY D! And late comment: PEDEY!!!!

JD just may be my baseball botfriend tonight.

Or boyfriend. Either will do.

What would we do without Drew?

Funny, for the longest time JD made no impression on me whatsoever. That has certainly changed in the last little while. He's been just so damn awesome.

89 pitches for Dice through six.

This could be a very tough decision.

But didn't he throw like 200 pitches once in high school or something?

Okay, fc, we can share. :::wink:::

I really wish my internet connection didn't suck so much.
That Hot Corner thing looks really cool....

I wish I could also type my name out fully....

there's no decision to be made liza. he goes out there until he is tired or in trouble.

Drew! Bay!

Maybe I'm just too used to people having talked about Buch and Lester.

JD...JAYABAY...dam you Iwa-whatever

Ugh.

Dammit.

Aw, crap - but we're wearing down Shields.

someone shoot this little shit

that could've gone better

I'm totally gonna admit that I watched American Idol last year (for the first time though!) and fell in love with that kid's voice.

Oh, is that where they found him?
How nice for him.

BASEBALL

Dear TBS,
STOP SAYING THAT.
Unsincerely,
Me.

My reaction to the seventh inning stretch performance? Mehh. :::shrug:::

Dammit. Dammit. Dammit.

Oh damn.

See?? See what you've done TBS??
Ok, I'm done.

The last time I was there, in September, the famous police officer sang god bless america. It was so good, I got chills.

Damnit. I blame this on Chip Caray.

Fucking Crawford.

Well, there goes the no-hitter.

Oh shit.

Naw shit.

dammit

::moaning::

Damnit.

Aw shit.

They talked about it a few too many times. :::growls:::

KILL, DICE-K. KILL

looked like a strike to me

A double play would be nice right about now.

Dice-KKKKKKKKK

Dice-KKKKKKKKK!

YES!!

Thank God.

THAT'S HUGE!!!

I HEART HOUDINI

Houdini strikes again...

THANK YOU.

NICE, Daisuke.

And Dice K the magician gets out of another jam :D

thats our Houdini...

I don't think I moved an inch that entire inning. Wow.

Thank you Dice for ending that - next time don't find it necessary to have an inning like that

PHEW!

wow Dice-KKKKKKKKK

I knew I was going to the Ben & Jerrys eventually, I'm just glad it was out of hunger and not a need for baseball-related comfort.

Clay's line:

3 IP, 0 H, 1 BB, 38-26 pitches-strikes

No idea what his pitches were. AFL Gameday doesn't even show the speeds.

how about some more runs now

Liza - I noticed that. I wonder why they don't show that stuff.

PLEATS!!

make that 2-for-20 TBS bitches

Pedie....

Youk really doesn't like that camera does he. I would like sound for that.

Pedie!

Liza and Mac i'd have to say it's because you don't have the same amount of people watching/scoring the game.

Mary, I'll be heading for the Edy's Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup shortly -- a brand new container! I've been craving it all evening and it's just about time to dig in.

During a pitching change is as good a time as any...

"Let's go Red Sox" audible on dugout cam.

Ian - That sounds likely.

Karen - Haha. Did he block the camera again?

"Let's go Red Sox" audible in my apartment as well

I'm sure they have plenty of scouts watching else very closely... but of course they're not putting data up online.

That "else" made no sense. Pretend it's not there.

why would the scouts put the data up online. that's not their job.

That was my point.

Speedy Pedie

be happy with at least getting some type of gameday there.

Pedie being Jacoby.

ecl - Yeah, Chunky Monkey is the perfect way to end the day. Especially during a Sox game :)

Woah I wonder how many energy drinks Pedie had today. He cannot stop moving and twitching his head around.

They had it (gameday) last year, too--I wasn't following it before then, so I don't know.

I actually prefer the kind last year, which was the same as last year's MLB layout. AAA also used it this year (it was the predominantly green popup window).

OK, now they're actually saying YOOOUUK, not booing.

I heard somewhere that's all he drinks before the games, and he drinks a lot.
Such a small guy should not have so much caffeine....

watch this. he throws to first and then the pitching change is made

YOUK

or not

Can't Tek zip up in the clubhouse not the dugout?

Yes!

That's a big oops

YEAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH
That's what I'm talkin about.

YOUUUUUK

THE BEARDED ONE!

YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUKKKKKKKKKKKK!!!!!

YOUK!!!!!

YOOOUUUUKK!

My sore throat just paid for that one. Kitty didn't run away, though, cause she's waiting for supper.

Do you need a murse tomorrow night fc???

Soo..those are the cheerleaders eh?

This is such an unnatural ballpark. No sun, no grass, but they have cowbells and cheerleaders.

I seriously think I'm the only one on my floor right now.
Everyone either went home or is out having a social life.
Meanwhile, I'm happy here eating ice cream and watching baseball.
I don't think I mind, though :)

No, not Drew.

AH.
NO.
WE DO NOT BRUISE THE GEORGIA PEACH.

DON'T BREAK SNOWFLAKE!

DO NOT BREAK JD

Oh god... ow ow ow ow ow

Ouch.....don't hurt him

THANK GOD THAT DIDN'T HIT HIM IN THE HEAD

Mary: perfect.

I love the angry/protective look on Dustin's face though when it happened.
He is NOT someone I want to mess with when he's angry.

Mary, that was so awesome I can't describe it.

The Georgia Peach comment, that is.

Which one are you referring to? Haha.

Mary, that's brilliant.

don't mess with Pedie

Oh, ok, I didn't know what you were referring to hahaha

And I was talking about the Georgia Peach comment, too.

dang it

In the interest of accuracy, "Georgia Peach" was mine. Mary just bruised him.

Crap.

Jason Bay has a beard going, too.
I wonder if it's a new thing in the team...

All right, Kotsay.

Something even more than a check-swing would be nice now.

mary it's the playoff facial hair. Some teams do that, other idiots do mohawks.

fc - Yeah, I knew the "georgia peach" came from someone in here, I just couldn't remember who haha
And I didn't mean to bruise him, I swear :)

Mary, I read somewhere that they were growing playoff beards. I think it was on the ProJo blog.

Oh well.

Aw, crap - but we made some headway there.

Dear Red Sox:
leaving the bases loaded is not good

I've got the postseason goatee going as well.

Dammit.

I just desperately want Youk to go back to the goatee. He's gone way too Mountain Man.

Youk looks funny with the bald head and the beard. With the goatee it's not so bad.

Oh I so hate that feel the heat video.

Postseason beards?
Oh dear, does this mean we get to see Jed with facial hair?
I'm trying not to giggle, I swear...

Can jed even grow facial hair???

I don't know... but I really want to see now hahaha

I don't like Tek's beard, I so much prefer the goatee, so sexy.

Jed has a wee bit of blond scruff-like stuff. I think.

Jed with a beard?

*laughs*

Blonde? Really? Awww that's cute.

Come to think of it, have we ever seen Jacoby with a beard? :::cracks up:::

anyone else surprised that we didn't go to the bullpen?

Ack Tek!

I was just having a side conversation with our mhcranberry, who suggested that we put Dice-K back in to save the bullpen for Beckett.

Think about that.

Damn shit and such.

Oh crap.

Ian, I at least expected him to start the inning with someone up in the pen. Is there anyone in the pen, actually? I have no idea. TBS, enlighten me.

Oh, Youk. I'm feeling your pain.

Dammit.

ecl - That's a funny mental image. Jacoby with a beard. *laughs*

fc i think that was the idea but if you bring in oki or manny d for the 8th and Paps for the 9th you're still okay for Beckett tomorrow.

Oh man, not sure if my nerves can handle Oki. Please be good.

Can someone tell me who Josn Beckett is? Is he Josh's brother or evil twin?

http://tinyurl.com/4owc2r

Thank you Georgia Peach

Did you watch the whole interview on necn.com? Boston.com only showed partial, the whole one was better. He looked asleep, or on a lot of chemistry.

Our Georgia Peach is earning his keep tonight, that's for sure.

Nah Karen, I read the transcript of the interview.

I'm taping tomorrow night's game, so I can see Beckett close up, since I will be so far away.

Yeah Ian, I watch for other reasons too. I do listen, I just enjoy looking at him.

Throw strikes Oki D:
unhittable strikes that is.

Sorry, I meant Masterson.

Double play!

That was fucking awesome Masterson!

NICE

Normally I watch all that stuff but I had some things going on earlier.

The real reason I posted that was the spelling of Josn Beckett.

NICE DP BOYZ!

I heart JMast

Thank you Justin!

Masterson and our middle infield FTW

Yay for DPs!!

Nice DP! Thank you Masterson

Liza - I've always loved middle infielders :D

Mary, seriously? I had NO idea. None at all.

.../sarcasm

Liza - Masterson and our middle infielders totally rule.

interesting little chat going on in the dugout between JD and Coco...=)

Hehehe.
I wasn't posting it as some form of a revelation, I promise :D
Speaking of my middle infielders that I love....

Let's just extend that to "our farm system totally rules."

Anyone else read the article about Theo in the Globe today?

Did anybody else catch JBay yelling at Pedie in the dugout? He looked mad

Every time I have been there this year, Paps has never been in. Figures when I'm not there he might play.

Was he mad?
I didn't catch anger in it, but it's entirely possible.
I just wonder what he could have done that would have warranted JayBay yelling at him.

He must be saving Balfour for tomorrow night

I don't think he was yelling at him rather showing him something.

the boys are fired up...though the thought of an angry JBay or JD is not that scary....send in Pedie and Coco!

Awww, I missed the JD/Coco chat. I did see Bay acting unusually animated in the dugout while speaking to Pedey. Angie, did you interpret that as mad? He just looked pumped up to me.

I don't know, the camera cut away really quickly but I thought he looked angry. It just surprised me because Bay seems pretty mellow.

ecl, I was hoping you caught that: two cuties sharing a laugh.

Maybe we're just not used to seeing him out of his "wax figure imitation" mode? :::chuckling:::

I saw the JD/Coco one, too.
It was so cute, Coco smiles always lighten my day.

Bay's Canadian. He can't have been yelling in anger.

Coco had that evil grin going on

Awww, fc, they were laughing? Now I'm *really* sorry I missed it. I think I was on here catching up!

I enjoy watching Tek. Will miss that tomorrow night.

Coco does have a devilishly cute grin. :::makes me grin too:::

Haha that's true ecl. And fc, too.

I love Coco's smile! It's adorable. Does anybody know how his foot is feeling?

ecl - Actually I think that was on the dugout cam, not TV.

Figures Paps, when I'm not there.

fc, I saw it, and I'm not watching the dugout cam.

OK, Liza, I've officially lost my mental capacities. Wouldn't be the first time.

It feels good to see Paps on the mound, methinks.

Sorry, didn't mean to sound rude.

I think i saw them run by fc

K

Know what I want to see when they ring those cowbells?
COWS. A herd. On the field.

PAPEL-K

He looks very good, physically and skill wise.

fc - I would LOVE to see that. Especially since I get the feeling Dustin would try to ride one, and Josh would let his Texan flag fly and try to rope one.

Mary, way too funny. That would be hilarious. The Rays have Texans too.

AH please tell me someone just saw the GIANT bubble Lester just blew.

Youk!

Ugh. Hate those cowbells very much.

I was tuning to the red sox game on the radio at the start of the game and I wasn't sure if it was the right station. Then I heard cowbells in the background.

All of you think of me, I will be there with them tomorrow night.

THIS IS A HUGE WIN FOR THE BOYZ TONIGHT!! HUGE!!!

Yes! Love you Paps!

HOT DAYUM

WIN.

YES.

GAME ONE, RED SOX.

WHEEE PAPS!

Beating the Rays is fun :D

Your mohawks are no match for the Papelbot!

HELL YES!

Hey, all--

WOOOOT!

Three more please, Sox.

Let's repeat the win tomorrow night when I'm there.

WOOT! Hell YES!!!

I'm sure I'll be much more excited about this win when I haven't just spent 10 hours on a bus for the day.

Welcome Rays to October:
where the Cinderella carriages turn to pumpkins
and the fish become Soxbait!

Congrats Sox on the win!

Goodnight everyone!

Sager with Tek, ooh so good.

That suit is killing my postgame mood....

Liza - This is a pretty late response, but I got kicked off the internet for a while. :P But, yes, our farm system totally rules.

Yess!! Win.

Is Youk always sweating? I freeze in that place, of course I am sitting still.

HAHA I can't make any phonecalls from my cell.
I get the feeling that everyone is calling everyone they know.

I'm off to sleep, gotta get out of here early tomorrow to get over to St. Pete. Night all, be back online Monday.

Late post: Karen, yes, Youk sweats constantly.

Thanks, Uncle Youk.

Have fun at the game tomorrow night Karen! Don't forget the Advil.

Hug our boys for us tomorrow, Karen. :::wink:::

'Night, Karen. Have fun at the game!
