BEAT LA!

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO DODGERS.

Beat L.A. - both L.A.'s.

I'll give an "Amen" to that.

Texy must still be mad at Manny....?

IAMSONERVOUSIAMSONERVOUSIAMSONERVOUS
IAMSONERVOUSIAMSONERVOUSIAMSONERVOUS
IAMSONERVOUSIAMSONERVOUSIAMSONERVOUS
IAMSONERVOUSIAMSONERVOUSIAMSONERVOUS

Eh- I was never mad at Manny. Perturbed at his behavior, but never mad. His bat for the Dodgers, on the other hand... that, I hate.

Me too. Savor the moment - right now ANYTHING IS POSSIBLLLLLLLLLLE.

Damn, I am so ready for this.

Texy, I thought it was mostly that you're pro-Cubbies.
I, on the other hand, do not want to see Manny win. Yeah, I'm bitter.

Why must you be so fetching, James Loney? You, too, Russell Martin.

I also do not know how to close an html tag. I'll try to keep things simple tonight.

Sucks watching manuel hitting home runs for another team in the playoffs.

And now the only game that matters starts.

Oh, I'm way way WAY pro-Cubs (wearing my DeRosa shirt right now) -- but I don't hate Manny. Just his bat, when it's not hitting bombs for my team.

Yeah, Loney's not bad looking at all, is he?

I have no particular loyalties to either the Cubs or Dodgers, but I still love watching Manny do his thing so I'm *sort* of pulling for them, but not obsessively so.

I am so ready for this game to start.

Oh, and Happy New Year everyone.
Damn, I still keep writing "5768" on my checks.

at least i can watch it in HD so i'm happy about that

Youkilis thinks you're funny, fc.

You can see my old apartment on that aerial shot!

Happy new year fc

So you guys, due to the start time and the fact that I'm feeling under the weather, I'm actually going to watch the game entirely from bed. Basically, I'm just passing through to say hello and GO SOX and all that good stuff...although for the moment I'm eating my evening dish of ice cream.

Manuel freaking golfed that shot 25 rows up.

Happy New Year, fc.

That did look like a golf shot, Ian. Pretty funny.

My dad was a cubs fan, so I was rooting for the cubs, but I do like Lowe, the only Dodger I like.

you mean you don't like nomah

I have so missed the Sox.

I don't really remember nomar, but have nothing against him. I usually watch the dodgers for Lowe.

Me too, Karen -- I've been going through withdrawal.

Easy there, Snowflake - don't strain anything.

way too much purple there buck

Nomah, OCD poster boy. Of course I say that with love - I hated to see him go.

Hey guys! I am freaking out about this game - so so nervous. And I have a ton of work to do, so I probably won't be posting much.

Though, I do have one thing to say: BEAT LA!

I was telling my friend, who is not a sox fan, doesn't watch baseball and lives in ma, so wrong, she thinks i'm insane.
I root for Lowe, cause he's a friend of a friend, and a former Sox.

Okay y'all...I'm headed to the comfort of the bed. Will join you to post on Friday. Enjoy the game...and GO SOX! :::huge grin:::

Hey all...Happy October! I've been MIA for the last month... moving and starting a new job.....but I'm so ready for this game...two days without baseball is no fun

Night, ecl.

(A little late... lshanah tovah, fc. -is Jewish too-)

ALSO,

BEAT LA.

I AM SO EXCITED.

Hey everyone!
I am so ready for this game!
Feel better, ecl.

Beat LA!!

BEAT L.A.

Ells!

Jacoby!!!!!!!

JACOBY!

Taco bellsbury!!!!!!!!!

TACOBY!

Ooh, good stuff for Jacoby's blog.

I was gonna post about being nervous and sick to my stomach - I guess I'm not the only one!

Happy New Year Fc. I just barely got my ecards out last night.

DLowe is the one who divorced his wife to marry the slutty TV anchor, right? I think she got fired over that. As she should.

Thanks for the link fc. I don't know how I missed that.

Yes texy that would be correct.

Ian and I talked about that earlier. We found it yesterday - but it's boring, and clearly not written by Jacoby.

Come on, let's not waste the baserunner. YOUUUUUUUK!

Awwwwwwww, hell.

Frank TV ads, go away. I thought we were rid of you.

shit boys a run would have been nice. Time for Jon Boy

Ahh yes. You know you're watching TBS and postseason baseball since Frank TV is back.

Frank TV ads, please go away.

Nice to see Derek Jeter make an appearance in the postseason. In a commercial.

Strike one. Nice start, Jonny.

The mute button is already being liberally used (during those commercials).

same with david wright who's on that photo of Josh Beckett you had up from Times Square

I didn't notice the commercials, I flip the channel. I like online better I can watch the game and a movie at the same time.
Texy, yeah DLowe is definitely a player, been with a lot of blondes in LA.

DLowe is exactly 20 years my senior. /making you guys feel old

Come on, Les. You got this.

where was that pitch????

A double play would be nice right now.

Thanks, Vladi.

nice pop out Vlad

Okay, Les... throw strikes. Execute your pitches.

C'mon, Jonny. GET THE OUT.

agh

settle down Jonny

Ugh.

C'MON, JONNY. EXECUTE THE PITCHES!

Oh crap.

Let's go, Jon.

TBS has this thing up on MLB.com. I will tell you it's about a pitch behind from the television broadcast.

http://tinyurl.com/3womcs

Phew!

Oh thank god!

So good to have Mikey back.

Yes! NO score!

Phewww

Thank you Mike LOL

Whew! Yay for easy outs for Lowell!

Go Red Sox!!!
Beat the Angels.

way to get out of that inning :)

Phew. Now let's get down to bidness.

Lowell still looks like he's in pain.

Thank you, Mikey!

Ok I'm convincing myself that was just first-inning nerves.

Now please make those nerves go away.

Thanks for the link, Ian.

youk hit a homahhhh

Like it's wicked easy!

C'mon JD. Let's see that pretty swing.

YW mac. Like i said it's a little behind the tv

Glad to see Mikey and JD back in the lineup.

Also glad to see Jacoby continuing his hot strek.

Now lets get some runs!

I have to say, I am pretty impressed with how loud it is overe there....

Anyone watch the Dodgers game? Manny had an infield hit; thats something that never would've happened in Boston...

I am too Joy! I was just thinking about that last inning.

Ah, the postseason blog thing is an organized promotion.

Lester-K....thats more like it

Yeah! That's the Lester I know!

holy suit batman

Someone doesn't have a mirror in their house.

What's with that jacket...

He did not just say "lyphnoma."

That was horrendous.

Nice, Les!

Nice 1-2-3 inning, Jonny!

His left ear looked more relaxed.

that inning was more like it...is Jon wearing a Beckett-esque necklace?

just keep hitting them to lowell so he doesn't have to move.

But yeah for Triumph commercials!

Lowrie on base. Good to see.

Hey all. That's this "liffnoma" I hear about? :P

Sounds like the announcers seem to like themselves the Angels. At least that's the vibe I get.

They do sound a little pro-LA

Of course that could be our own biases getting in the way. I'm sure some Angels fans may be thinking "OMG THIS IS SO PRO RED SOX!!"

Has Francona always had the "Live Strong" bracelet? Never noticed that before.

I agree Piney, we are so used to having our hometown announcers

They seemed pro-LA to me as well.

Jennie, yes, as long as I can remember.

I must be very unobservant. :)

:spit..clap..clap: come on Papi

I dunno; doesn't seem that biased to me. But then, I'm not really listening cuz I never listen to TBS or FOX commentators.

dang it papi

rats

Awwwww crap.

arggh

I envisioned that going differently.

very late response, but thanks for the link Ian.

I'm enjoying the Tito cam.

I turned it off because it got to be annoying being 1-2 pitches behind but you're welcome.

Lester-KK

that called check swing won't make angels fans happy.

NOOOO, not Lowrie!!

awwwwwwww jedster :(

Oh well, Jebby.

ughhhh :(

Ouch. Be a pro, Jed, shake it off.

I wasn't paying attention. What happened to Jed?

fuck

::moaning::

fuck fuck fuck

bugger

dammit

Shit.

Damn it damn it damnt it. Why did Lowrie have to make his first error now!

NOOOO!!

That run hurt.

Shit

Hell week for me continues....

Ouch.

Oh well.

COME ON, BATS.

Okay boys. Shake it off, let's get it back here.

time for some offense boys...

Is it just me, or could Bay have made that catch?

I guess he was just playing it safe....

I really hope they can score some runs and bring up Jed's confidence a bit to tell him "hey it's okay, we'll pick you up".

Alright...so we have Youk, Lowell + Bay I believe?

I forgot how stressed out I get during the playoffs. I'm too nervous to even watch Jon pitch.

nah lindsay. he was playing deep and it was hit off the end of the bat.

Maybe the Jedster can give us back a run or two. =)

I agree Piney. I'm sure Jed feels really shitty right now and a couple of runs on the board would definately help him.

my apologies. hunter was jammed on that one.

Yooooooooooooooooouk!!!

YOUUUUUUUK

Youk!

Youk!

Hi all! Late arrival, but with news! I got the job! I found an apartment today! I'm moving to Worcester in less than two weeks! Whee!

Now - LET'S GO RED SOX.

Come on Bay. Lets get your first playoff hit!

jenny - Congrats on getting the job!

Congrats Jenny! Hopefully the boys will add to your great day with a win

Congrats (again), Jenny!

Come on, Lowell...

Congrats Jenny!

congrats jenny

Thanks, everyone!

C'mon, MYGLOWAL!

Oof. Slight uphill battle here. We can do this, though!

jenny, congrats on moving closer to the hub of the universe.

C'mon, Sox. BEAT LA!

What cures ulcers? Oh. Runs? Oh, okay.

Good job, Lowrie!

Congrats Jenny. Where do you live now? I grew up in Auburn.

Every time they say Jed Lowrie I think of his song. His song really stuck with me, haha.

Don't mind me, it's the very little things that are making this week go by. :)

I couldn't take it anymore. I muted the sound, turned on WRKO, and used my TiVo to synch up the TV picture with the radio audio.

Those announcers are horrible. Bland, boring, and biased. The three B's of suck.

This ump's strike zone is way tighter on the left than the right.

Also: I thought we left E-6 off the playoff roster. What happened?

Haha, Texy, I remember doing that last year, but then I realized I was too far behind to follow the post here.

I took inspiration from your post earlier, TG, and made my own playlist of pumping-up-ness... and I've been blasting it for a couple innings. These announcers were going to make me shoot myself.

I did that last year for the FOX games. Well, for the FOX games that I wasn't at. I muted it every time and just blasted Kanye West. Worked well.

fc - I KNOW. I'm psyched!

Karen - I'm coming from Northampton, MA so everything about Worcester is new to me. I'm excited, though!

We have GOT to get some hits.

And no more errors.

Lester's warm-up song is kind of awesome. ("I Use What I Got" by Jason Aldean.) I'm not a country girl normally, but I'm hooked.

C'mon Sox bats! Make it happen! I believe!

"Stronger," right? I did the same. It gets a place of honor on this year's playlist, considering I was playing it when the last out of the WS was made.

oh my, it's the jacket again...i can't look

ELLS! (!!!!!!!)

COME ON PEDEY! (!!!!!!!!!)

jenny, Northampton is cool its own bad self - kind of like a mini-Cambridge.

Aaaand, the cat-frightening shouts have commence chez fc.

We need some of that reverse psychology shit that worked earlier in the season. Because the bottom of the order is not lookin' good so far tonight.

C'mon, guys. Make him work for it. Make him use up those pitches.

Yay, Tacoby!

ELLLLLLLLS!

don't overslide the base jacoby

We need to stop stranding Ellsbury on base is what we need.

dam fly balls...

BISCUITS.

Crap

I love Northampton especially Herrells.

Dude. DUDE. Lackey's gone 64 pitches through 5. Lester's at 67 through 4. Our bats are gonna have to help Jonny Jon Jon out.

note to bats....STOP stranding baserunners

Jonny's ears seem pretty calm. The right moreso than the left.

It's the left one that usually acts up.

(I'm not leaving Northampton by choice, I love it here. The joys of being transferred! Whee!)

The leftys are always troublemakers.

Here's what I never understood: how can people be at a playoff game, eating nachos or whatever like it's nothing. I can drink beer, sure, but I cannot imagine trying to force down food on a nervous stomach.

DAMMIT, CATCH THE FLY BALLS

Come on, Jonny. Make it happen here. Go get 'em, kiddo. Get this last out.

Lester.

Outs.

GOOD!

Why was there a giant gaping hole there between 1st and 2nd? No comprendo.

From the Globe:

In case you're wondering, Jed Lowrie played 49 regular season games at shortstop without an error this season. He handled 155 chances during that time.

GREAT JOB JONNY. Mad love.

Yes, yes, YES!

PAPI. YOUK. SNOWFLAKE.

You can do it. I know it.

Good job, Jonny.

Now can we score some runs, please?

Texy, I'm assuming they were playing Vlad to pull the ball.

I can't even eat just watching this on TV.
I may have poured myself a drinkie or three.

Texy, I can never eat at any live game. I'm usually too excited to eat.

or 4 or 5

But I don't think the shift was on - SS was playing in position. So was 1B. Only 2B was playing out of position.

ahhhhhhhhhh it seems TBS HD isn't showing as many Frank TV ads. Just Frank as his characters for Turbo Dish Commercials

Hmmm that's interesting then Texy. At least it didn't hurt us.

NEW GUY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

that was BAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY-UTIFUL

YES YES YES!!!

JAYBAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

JAYYYYYY BAYYYYYYY!!!

BAYYYYYYYY

FUCK YEAH NEW GUY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH
Welcome to the postseason, buddy!

JAYBAY...not bad for his first post season hit!

Yeah!!!! Dancing and celebration!!!!

Hey everybody--catching the game on TV, but I had to stop in and say:

BEAKER!!!!!!!

NARCISSISTIC MANCHILD, WELCOME TO SOXTOBER.

poor fc's cat. I can imagine that scream

Eh. I don't really care about this Jason Bay guy.

OK, Jonny Lester, we have staked you to a lead! Go get 'em!

Ian, Kitty has retreated safely upstairs, possibly under the bed. The neighbors however may not be quite so adaptable.

Man, I hope we get more commercials with Derek Jeter!

Oh to be coool like Texy, instead of a screaming idiot like me.

I leave the room and come back to a Sox lead. Maybe I should leave more often.

I'm guessing you won't see Kitty until the end of the game.

the new neighbors may not be too fond of us....they'll have to learn to adapt

Yeah, I'm sure I've offended some neighbors at this stage in the game! :)

I'm so cool, I'm coool.

Yeah, I'm always totally calm, cool and collected when it comes to baseball. Just ask Ian.

A little late, but....

BAY!!!

Luckily my neighbor is watching the game and I can run over whenever something happens :D

PS: Hi all! Yeah, I'm a bit late tonight.....

I babysit for all my neighbors, so they should just be grateful I only play my music this loud on certain nights in October.

Just go to a game with Texy when Beckett is pitching. She's as calm as you'll ever see anyone.

Message from my new landlord earlier tonight: "We're so glad a Red Sox fan will be on the third floor!"

:D :D :D

Lester - KKKKK!!!!!

jenny- Good. Because when you scream and holler during Sox games, no one will be able to complain and get you in trouble!

I wish there was a special HTML character for a backwards K.

Lester-KKKKKK

Hell yea Lester!!!

Lester KKKKKK!

what a great fucking inning for Lester.

I love how much the ump gets into it.

That's more like it, Les!

Be happy you have good neighbors, my non sox friend called the police on her neighbors last year during the world series cause they were waking her kids with their screaming. My neighbors are old and all asleep by 8pm. They never heard us last year.

Matthews totally got de-pantsed on that pitch.

FUCK YEAH JONNY LESTER STRIKING OUT THE SIDE.

he definitely didn't go on that pitch.

Jed held up there.

WTF ump?

old people in Florida, you don't say

JACOBY!!!!

Ellsbury!!!!

A BIG OOPS

JACOBY = Mr. October!

Ells!!!

JACOBY ELLSBURY I LOVE YOU

Geez, Jacoby can fly.

Now GET HIM HOME!!!

JEEEEEEEEEEEEZUS.

Jacoby is having a career game. It's like 2007 all over again for him.

How about getting Ells home this time

ells ells ells!

score that, triple? oh biscuits. error my rump.

Ian, yeah, but worse where I live, I live in a retirement complex.

They scored that an error?

Bull.

I love when the pitcher's screamed "FUCK" gets broadcast clear as day on national TV.

Also: John Lackey may be the fugliest guy in baseball, now that Randy Johnson isn't playing. He's fuglier than Fruit Bat.

screw that..
that was a triple not an error

(Ian, I am totally loving that TBS dugout-cam.)

I love when lip reading is made easier by clearly annunciated cussing

fc - that dugout cam is made of win.

I'm sure that dugout cam is a lot more pleasant now than it was earlier in the game.

One day, coolers everywhere will rise up and fight back.

I am definitely loving the dugout cam. They thought of the ladies when they came up with this.

lets go papi!!!

SHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEIT

FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK!!!!!!!!!!

Daaammn.

How many times has Jacoby been left on base now? 3?

No waaaaay.

Dammit, we need a cushion here.

Papi--Please stop swinging at bad pitches.

I think this is the first viagra ad of the night and it came after midnight. Shocker.

aww man

No, Mac--FOUR.

No, I have seen the Viagra ad more than once tonight, not one of my favs.

Jacoby will by everyone tacos if you can just get him home dammit

Yeah, I have the stupid viagra song stuck in my head - definitely seems like it's been more than once.

Why the fuck is that man wearing that fugly suit on national TV?

who let that man out in public in that outfit

They are showing different ads on the HD feed I can tell you that much.

WTF is with that suit?

Just to let y'all know, Craig Sager is always wearing funky suits like that. You should see some of the gems he breaks out during the NBA season.

Lester - KKKKKKK

Lester-KKKKKKK

OH MY GOD JONNY LESTER.

GORGEOUS.

for the hockey buffs, he's still got nothing on the outfits Don Cherry wears.

Craig Sager - http://tinyurl.com/4wl8db

Don Cherry - http://tinyurl.com/2pd4s3

that pitch to make it 1-2 was 97 MPH

97 on his 113th pitch of the night.

Lester is burning up the radar gun tonight. Again.

115 pitches after the foul.

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!

Did Jon grow tonight? He looks taller.

You know makes that inning special. The faith that Francona had in him to start the inning with a pitch count over 100.

Ian, do these people know they are not living in the 70's?

That should read:

you what* makes that inning special. The faith that Francona had in him to start the inning with a pitch count over 100

The Force strong in Lester is.

Maybe they are your neighbors Karen.

By the way, I give up on correcting my grammar.

117 pitches, all of them fire.

Final line:
7.0 IP, 6 H, 1 BB, 7 K, 1 R, 0 ER

Wow - I wanted that to be fair.

Dang it Youk. Straighten that out.

so close...

"Lester, like so many thoroughbreds ... " ... ?

0.o

Scot Shields coming in.

And Dustin is his jockey (eyeroll).

NEW GUY! AGAIN! WHOO HOO!

Bay!

This Bay kid just might work out.

Jennie - I'm not snickering. I swear.

He's like a daisy or dandelion or something.

He's the Sunflower of Perfection.

He's like a daisy or a dandelion or something.

JD is, like, totally spaced out, man.

OOO, ouch Mikey

Oh, Mikey.

Myglowal is hurtin'. I will bring love!

Damn, are we gonna see Kotsay at first?

I'm thinking Mike and JD aren't really all that healthy - 0-fer-4 for both of them.

Papi, too.

J.D. didn't look comfortable at all sitting there on the bench.

JD looked miserable.

come on kid. relax

JACOBY!!!!!!

OMG Ellsbury!!!

BEAUTIFUL, Jacoby.

jacobbbbbbyyyy!!!!!

what a fucking great catch by Taco

JD looked like he needed a nap.....JACOBY...my oh my!

OMG Jacoby!!!!!!!!

Jacoby!! So awesome. Even Justin liked that.

YES! Awesome catch, Jacoby!

JACOBY I LOVE YOU.

I just shrieked really, really loudly. I bet I just woke up my family.

THAT WAS A BEAUTIFUL CATCH.

Masterson totally owes Jacoby a beer now. . . .

That was so epic.

Lil' GIDP ...

J-Mast got some scruff goin' on there.

Crap.

Come on, Justin. Outs. Double play, maybe?

PHEWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWww

OUT? OUT? THERE IS A GOD

Masterson's little playoff beard! (!!!)

OUR DEFENSE RULES.

Is Vladi okay?

Vlad thought he was Jacoby there

Wow - I was just told to calm down.

Thank goodness Vlad is Papi-like on the bases.

Haha me too Jennie - my family is telling me to stop yelling.

The boyfriend knew I was not fit to be in public tonight, thank God. Even at home I'm a little much, though, I guess!

Papi-like? More like Casey-like

TG - "Lumbering" about covers it.

Or, "Caseying".

Man, I couldn't go to bed now if my life depended on it.

Who wins in the 40-yard dash? Casey or Big Papi

and how long does it take?

Ian - My money's on Papi - more competitive (?)

Ian - I'd say Papi would win.

Jenny, me neither. I LOVE OCTOBER.

And Ian - Papi, I'd guess.

Yea bed is out of the question even though I have to get up at 5:30 (but that's what coffee is for!).

Papi would kill Sean. And that's saying something. Better race would be, like, David Wells and Sean. Or Curt Schilling and Sean.

Ian: I thought we established back in August that Sean Casey is officially the Slowest Baserunner Alive. . . . So yeah, my money's on Papi too.

TG: Or Colon versus Casey.

(Unfortunately, the Sox refused to let us see a good race, like Ellsbury versus Buchholz.)

I could probably give them both a run for their money right now.

Sean Casey vs Bengie Molina...taht's a dead heat

These are the kind of events the All Star Game should really hold. Whose the Slowest Runner. One player for every team goes up in a footrace and the loser gets like $10,000 donated to charity

I have three tests tomorrow (one of the standardized type). What is this sleep you speak of?

Come on, Jed. Let's get a hit.

Heey, he heard me!

I still want to see the Pedroia-Youk race too.

Haha, I like that idea, Piney!

That will make Lowrie feel a bit better now!

I got a class that my teacher doesn't give a shit about, a class in which I missed the class before (aka yesterday) because i went on my friend's radio show to talk playoffs w/ him and his co-host and my lab which I'm actually prepared for! *gasp*

nice bunt by TEK

I bet Jed would feel even better if he scored an insurance run

I was bad I didn't get up till 5pm. I slept through the 3pm alarm. Of course I didn't go to bed till after 6am.

I'm interviewing a candidate for Director of...something.

I HAVEN'T FORGOTTEN THAT ELLS IS A ROOKIE.

Man, I miss DO and Remy.

Hello??? Do you really think Coco is better than Jacoby????

DUNKIN DONUTS AND STARBUCKS WILL GET YOU THROUGH THE DAY TOMORROW

*I* would feel better if Jeb scored an insurance run!!!

FINE TIME FOR AN EMERGENCY ALERT SYSTEM TEST COMCAST

*WE* would feel better if Jeb scored an insurance run!!! /corrected

I fooled myself into thinking I'd be at the RMV first thing when it opened tomorrow morning. Now I think I'll be waiting until Friday instead.

OREGON FOR THE FUCKING WIN!

JACOBY!!

JACOBY!!!!

Jacoby: "F--- it. If they're not get me home, I'm going to get one home myself!"

jacoby =

*WE* are pleased.

OMG - when I was back east (a couple of weeks ago), my brother was commenting on all the Emergency Alert Systems ALWAYS being during Red Sox games. He gathered that it was a bitter Yankee fan scheduling them.

Yeah Jacoby!!!

JACOBY ELLSBURY.

It's a three-way tie for baseball boyfriend, with Jacoby's bat and glove, Bay's 2-run homer and Jon Lester's ace pitching.

Jacoby says I'll just bring home the runs myself!

A sorta late - JACOBY!!!

woohoo!! Late response, had to watch the dugout cam for that one.

he's going to second

There was one day a couple weeks back where we had Emergency Alerts every inning or so.

Pap's all ready...

ELLS IS SAFE. This is a hella game for him.

thank you coach ian

aww, my heart didn't make it. but yes, jacoby = love

I think Ells likes the month of October =]

And that'll be two SBs, plzkthxbai.

Ells likes September and October, that's for sure.

it's too bad these don't count towards his season total of 50

Oh, Napoli. Ow ow ow.

That's strange; I didn't get any Emergency Alerts. Where are you guys watching the game from?

Oh, I don't have any now--I had them a few weeks ago, that's what I was talking about.

i didn't get any either and im in the sucky state of CT

My brother was watching from Grafton, MA on NESN.

They count towards his KA ratio, though, Ian.

KA = Kick Ass

I'm in beautiful Slummerville.

true texy very true

Texy, you are gonna have to share those 3 boyfriends.

Hey, Somerville can be cool. I know a bunch of people who live there.

Southie here.

It's like a 'hood role call.

Look who's at third again...

nice running jacoby

slummerville ain't no Kokomo

YES PAPI!!!!

Papi! Ells! Yay!

Papi!

YEAH!!!!!!

PAPI!!!

Papi power! Finally!

GOD I LOVE THIS BASEBALL TEAM.

PAPI....

...as the Angels collapse before the Mighty Sox.

I've been to Kokomo (Indiana). That place is a hole.

PAPI. Hello. Nice to see you.

as i said tonight on my radio show, it all comes down to pitching. starting pitching and the bullpen!!

I've never been farther west than Pennsylvania. But I've been east to Greece. /random

Oh, man. We can do this.

STRAP IN.

the furthest west in the mainland i've been is Denver, CO. The furthest west out of the mainland i've been is Hawaii.

And I've been east to all over Europe.

Okay. COME ON PAPELBON.

Come on and jump around

Paps

Papelbuns!

They are trying to intimidate a team from Boston with Jump Around?

I'll serve your ass like John MacEnroe
If your steps up, I'm smacking the ho
Word to your moms I came to drop bombs
I got more rhymes than the bible's got psalms
And just like the Prodigal Son I've returned
Anyone stepping to me you'll get burned
Cause I got lyrics and you ain't got none
So if you come to battle bring a shotgun
But if you do you're a fool, cause I duel to the death
Try and step to me you'll take your last breath
I gots the skill, come get your fill
Cause when I shoot ta give, I shoot to kill

It would have been really cool to have a clean ninth.

Rally Monkey?

don't forget the postgame show on NESN after the game

god i wish he could just unleash one that would hit Scott Boras who's behind the plate in the blue shirt.

This is sooo sweet.

Wah! IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII wanna see the postgame on NESN!!!!!

Is that who that is? I wondered what Boras looked like.

Ian - That is Boras? I've been trying to think the whole game if it is him or if it isn't. Ugh.

One down, two to go.

Great fucking win boys.

And yes that's Borasshole

FUCK YEAH

Yes!! Woohoo!!

WIN.

YES.
