Hey y'all!

Go Sox!

BEAT LA!

We are planning our trip to Nevada around Sunday's game. We're leaving early so we can watch the game at our hotel--I have my traffic court appearance Monday morning. grrrrrrrrr



[ jules ] says:
on October 3, 2008 9:01 PM

Anyone else have the WS/Rays game on?

wow.



[ ecl1958 ] says:
on October 3, 2008 9:08 PM

I have the game on in the other room, but was on the phone with my NY cousin, who every so often would say, "Tampa Bay just scored again." Unfortunately, she's rooting for them, and there was no good way to explain to her why I'm not. Hee.



[ ecl1958 ] says:
on October 3, 2008 9:09 PM

I'm really excited that the Sunday game is in the evening. Now I don't have to reschedule my haircut appointment.



[ Bethie ] says:
on October 3, 2008 9:11 PM

Howdy peoples!

I'm ready to get this game going!! And I wish this damn Rays game would end already!!



[ ecl1958 ] says:
on October 3, 2008 9:19 PM

You just got your wish, Bethie! Bring on our boys!



[ Erin ] says:
on October 3, 2008 9:21 PM

Hello everyone! I'm not to sure how much of the game I can watch. I'm really tired and I'm not to sure if I can stay up.



[ ecl1958 ] says:
on October 3, 2008 9:24 PM

Ooooh, Erin. You must be feeling bad if you're saying that on a Friday night! :::HUGS:::



[ Ian ] says:
on October 3, 2008 9:26 PM

i say suck it up :D



[ Erin ] says:
on October 3, 2008 9:26 PM

I know ecl. I have no idea why I'm so tired. I'm not sick as far as I know and today was my short day in terms of classes (start at 10:10 and finish at 12:05)



[ Meghan ] says:
on October 3, 2008 9:27 PM

I'll be around! I'm taking the GMAT tomorrow so I didn't think it would be good to go watch this at a bar...



[ fc ] says:
on October 3, 2008 9:29 PM

It's quite simple, Erin: You have Playoff Fever.

(How great is it to see Eck on TBS?)



[ Kim ] says:
on October 3, 2008 9:30 PM

Go Sox Go!



[ ecl1958 ] says:
on October 3, 2008 9:31 PM

Meghan, I'm so old I don't remember (or else this is something that wasn't in existence when I was in school)...what is a GMAT?

Erin, fc is right. You have Playoff Fever.



[ Lindsay ] says:
on October 3, 2008 9:31 PM

I am extremely excited for this game. I've been waiting all day!

Lowell + Lowrie out of the lineup though.



[ Erin3 ] says:
on October 3, 2008 9:31 PM

Evening ya'll...I got a job today!...Finally.



[ Erin3 ] says:
on October 3, 2008 9:32 PM

I'm ready for a Sox win to cap off the day.



[ Bottom Line Rob ] says:
on October 3, 2008 9:32 PM

Just wanted to say Go Sox!

I'm calling it now - Big Papi goes deep early!



[ ecl1958 ] says:
on October 3, 2008 9:32 PM

Lindsay, and no Coco either. I miss my Coco.

Congrats, Erin3!



[ Erin ] says:
on October 3, 2008 9:32 PM

LOL playoff fever. Do the symptoms include a nervous feeling in your stomach?



[ Mac ] says:
on October 3, 2008 9:32 PM

Erin3 - Congrats!



[ Erin3 ] says:
on October 3, 2008 9:33 PM

I had a feeling that they wouldn't be playing Lowell today.



[ ecl1958 ] says:
on October 3, 2008 9:33 PM

Sure, Erin, why not? My stomach is flip-flopping too.



[ Erin3 ] says:
on October 3, 2008 9:34 PM

Thanks for the congrats



[ Ian ] says:
on October 3, 2008 9:34 PM

Congrats Erin -19

Anyone got a puke green jacket I can borrow.



[ Lindsay ] says:
on October 3, 2008 9:34 PM

Have you all read the article in the extra bases blog about the 'thunderfans'?

[ Meghan ] says:
on October 3, 2008 9:34 PM

Ecl- It's the standardized test you take for business school. I'd tell you what it stands for...but I actually don't know.

Almost time...



[ jules ] says:
on October 3, 2008 9:34 PM

Congrats Erin3!!!!!

I'm so excited for this game!

My daughter is going to use my computer, so see y'all later...



[ Erin3 ] says:
on October 3, 2008 9:34 PM

Why are they playing Kotsay at first instead of Casey?



[ Erin ] says:
on October 3, 2008 9:34 PM

I always feel like this during playoff games ( not the tired part). I was like this before game 7 of last years ALCS and game 4 of the WS



[ Liza ] says:
on October 3, 2008 9:36 PM

Congrats Erin3!

And I think it's because Kotsay has good numbers against Santana, no?



[ Ian ] says:
on October 3, 2008 9:36 PM

Kotsay's better defensively at first then Casey is



[ ecl1958 ] says:
on October 3, 2008 9:36 PM

It'll be alright, Erin!

Heading for the other room to watch TV. Will be back after awhile. GO SOX!



[ Lindsay ] says:
on October 3, 2008 9:37 PM

Kotsay has amazing numbers against Santana.

(.389 BA, .450 OBP, .500 SLG),



[ Erin ] says:
on October 3, 2008 9:37 PM

Aww he got booed.



[ Jessi ] says:
on October 3, 2008 9:37 PM

Hey everyone!



[ fc ] says:
on October 3, 2008 9:37 PM

Now how could anyone boo Jacoby?



[ Erin3 ] says:
on October 3, 2008 9:37 PM

c'mon Ells



[ Ian ] says:
on October 3, 2008 9:37 PM

plus kotsay is 7-of-18 against santana while Casey is 0-for-3



[ Lindsay ] says:
on October 3, 2008 9:38 PM

Who the hell do they think they are booing Jacoby!

Psh...



[ Meghan ] says:
on October 3, 2008 9:38 PM

Boos? Really? Angles fans are bad baseball fans.



[ Lindsay ] says:
on October 3, 2008 9:38 PM

Good eye Jake!



[ Kristin ] says:
on October 3, 2008 9:38 PM

Evening everyone...finally game time



[ Lindsay ] says:
on October 3, 2008 9:39 PM

It's all good. You'll get em' next time Jacoby!

oh I got my pedroia shirt on...



[ Karen ] says:
on October 3, 2008 9:39 PM

So happy to have sox again. Off season is going to suck.



[ Karen ] says:
on October 3, 2008 9:40 PM

Really do love that dugout camera.



[ Erin3 ] says:
on October 3, 2008 9:40 PM

maybe I should change my shirt :(



[ Erin ] says:
on October 3, 2008 9:40 PM

Who are these announcers?



[ fc ] says:
on October 3, 2008 9:40 PM

For the love of god, will someone convince Youk to stick with the goatee?



[ Lindsay ] says:
on October 3, 2008 9:41 PM

So far in the playoffs every team that won game 1 also won game 2.

Hopefully that little streak can continue...



[ Mac ] says:
on October 3, 2008 9:41 PM

Karen - That dugout camera is pretty much made of everything that is awesome.



[ Jessi ] says:
on October 3, 2008 9:41 PM

Ok so watching Lester pitch the last game gave me a heart attack - I don't even want to know what type of stress I will likely be experiencing with Dice-K on the mound.



[ Erin3 ] says:
on October 3, 2008 9:41 PM

yeah Papi



[ Ian ] says:
on October 3, 2008 9:41 PM

13-game ALDS hititng streak



[ Ian ] says:
on October 3, 2008 9:42 PM

Erin they would be the same announcers we had on Wednesday night



[ Erin3 ] says:
on October 3, 2008 9:42 PM

I agree with fc



[ Meghan ] says:
on October 3, 2008 9:43 PM

Please don't squander this.



[ Lindsay ] says:
on October 3, 2008 9:43 PM

Double steal?

jk.



[ Kim ] says:
on October 3, 2008 9:43 PM

My husband just said 'with a name like Martinez you'd think he'd be able to pronounce Ortiz.'



[ Lindsay ] says:
on October 3, 2008 9:43 PM

Double steal?

jk.



[ Lindsay ] says:
on October 3, 2008 9:44 PM

haha Kim! I noticed that too [that he pronounced ortiz wrong]



[ Mac ] says:
on October 3, 2008 9:44 PM

DREW!!!!



[ Jessi ] says:
on October 3, 2008 9:44 PM

JD DREW!!!!!!!!!!!



[ Kim ] says:
on October 3, 2008 9:44 PM

Papi chugging around !



[ Erin ] says:
on October 3, 2008 9:44 PM

Ian- I didn' watch the game Wednesday since I had some homework to catch up on. But I followed it online.

DREW!



[ Erin3 ] says:
on October 3, 2008 9:44 PM

way to go snowflake!



[ Karen ] says:
on October 3, 2008 9:44 PM

Yes



[ fc ] says:
on October 3, 2008 9:44 PM

That went well.



[ Kristin ] says:
on October 3, 2008 9:44 PM

YAY-D



[ joyosity ] says:
on October 3, 2008 9:44 PM

Yes! Good running, Youk! Hi everyone!



[ Ian ] says:
on October 3, 2008 9:44 PM

MR. DREW



[ Lindsay ] says:
on October 3, 2008 9:45 PM

DREW IS BACK! WOO HOO!



[ Avery ] says:
on October 3, 2008 9:45 PM

YAYYY JD!



[ Kim ] says:
on October 3, 2008 9:45 PM

go go go ... wait stop stop stop



[ joyosity ] says:
on October 3, 2008 9:45 PM

Heeheehee, watching Papi run is always amusing.



[ fc ] says:
on October 3, 2008 9:45 PM

Youk > Vlad



[ Lindsay ] says:
on October 3, 2008 9:45 PM

Hi Joy!



[ Meghan ] says:
on October 3, 2008 9:45 PM

This is going well...



[ Ian ] says:
on October 3, 2008 9:46 PM

It's Chip Caray and Buck "I don't give a fuck" Martinez



[ Kristin ] says:
on October 3, 2008 9:46 PM

Youk was having images of his play against Vladi...



[ Erin3 ] says:
on October 3, 2008 9:46 PM

I do very much love cheering Papi on as he runs.



[ fc ] says:
on October 3, 2008 9:46 PM

Oops, I forgot: DREWWWWWWWWWWWWWW
(Sorry, JD - I'm out of practice.)



[ Lindsay ] says:
on October 3, 2008 9:46 PM

I love Bay's expression after he hit that ball.



[ Lindsay ] says:
on October 3, 2008 9:47 PM

[...in game 1]



[ Kim ] says:
on October 3, 2008 9:47 PM

YES!



[ Meghan ] says:
on October 3, 2008 9:47 PM

No fucking way!!!!



[ Karen ] says:
on October 3, 2008 9:47 PM

For some reason the dugout cam view is up when i click on pitcher, not when i click on dugout, someone messed up.
Also if I turn up the sound, i can hear the red sox chant in the stands, works for me.
Yes! Woohoo!



[ fc ] says:
on October 3, 2008 9:47 PM

HOLY FUCKING NEW GUY



[ joyosity ] says:
on October 3, 2008 9:47 PM

No way. Bay FTW!



[ Mac ] says:
on October 3, 2008 9:47 PM

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



[ Erin ] says:
on October 3, 2008 9:47 PM

Ian- thanks for the info. They're kinda boring but I have the volume low.

BAY!



[ Lindsay ] says:
on October 3, 2008 9:47 PM

bay!!!! Manny who!?



[ Erim3 ] says:
on October 3, 2008 9:47 PM

oh my gosh! how much do I love Jason Bay right now?!



[ Kristin ] says:
on October 3, 2008 9:47 PM

JAY-BAY...i think he likes October ball!



[ Jessi ] says:
on October 3, 2008 9:47 PM

MANNY WHO?



[ Avery ] says:
on October 3, 2008 9:48 PM

Clearly the post season agrees with Jason Bay.



[ lone1c ] says:
on October 3, 2008 9:48 PM

Bay LOVES Soxtober.

More innings like this, guys. . . .



[ ecl1958 ] says:
on October 3, 2008 9:48 PM

Oh maaaaan! I had to stay in the bedroom and watch the replay on that. EPIC!



[ Jessi ] says:
on October 3, 2008 9:48 PM

All with two outs...



[ Bethie ] says:
on October 3, 2008 9:48 PM

Holy shit. How Awesome is Jason Bay?!?!?!?!?



[ Ali ] says:
on October 3, 2008 9:49 PM

MANNY WHO!!!!



[ Lindsay ] says:
on October 3, 2008 9:49 PM

Me and my dad were talking last night about how yes, Manny gets homers (2 so far in the NLDS) but they aren't clutch hits...they dont really mean anything. Bay on the other hand gets homers when they have meaning and they are clutch homers.

I'm not going to lie...after the pop up of Jake and strike out of Dusty I got a little nervous about how this game would go...but the boys just brought my confidence back up!



[ Avery ] says:
on October 3, 2008 9:49 PM

KOTSAY!



[ Liza ] says:
on October 3, 2008 9:49 PM

JASON BAY IS MY HERO.



[ Jessi ] says:
on October 3, 2008 9:49 PM

My dugout cam isn't working - anyone else w/ this problem?



[ fc ] says:
on October 3, 2008 9:49 PM

Geez, someone had to say the "M" word.



[ Mac ] says:
on October 3, 2008 9:50 PM

Jessi - The dugout cam isn't working for me, either.



[ Lindsay ] says:
on October 3, 2008 9:50 PM

So...

Varitek wearing the Sox uniform in 09'?



[ Jessi ] says:
on October 3, 2008 9:50 PM

Oh ok, thanks - glad to know it just isn't me.



[ Ian ] says:
on October 3, 2008 9:50 PM

Sorry for the delay. My browser froze.

THAT WAS BAY-UTIFUL



[ Karen ] says:
on October 3, 2008 9:50 PM

My dugout cam is not there now, but it was switched with the pitcher one a minute ago.



[ Bethie ] says:
on October 3, 2008 9:51 PM

I think that's one of the best first innings I have ever seen.

5 hits and 4 runs with 2 outs.

Amazing!



[ Ian ] says:
on October 3, 2008 9:51 PM

I'll be honest with you Lindsay. I'm not thinking about '09 right now. It's all about the 08



[ Erin3 ] says:
on October 3, 2008 9:51 PM

where can I get this dugout cam? that's not working...hehe



[ Erin ] says:
on October 3, 2008 9:52 PM

Lets hope Dice-K well do well tonight.



[ Lindsay ] says:
on October 3, 2008 9:52 PM

What do you mean by the dugout cam?



[ Karen ] says:
on October 3, 2008 9:52 PM

I was watching Papelbon's weekly show on comcast online earlier, and he was saying that every time the angels score, the rocks out in the field shoot water up, and the sox bullpen gets wet. Never noticed that. I wonder if that is done on purpose.



[ lone1c ] says:
on October 3, 2008 9:52 PM

Dugout cam? Is this an interwebs thing?



[ ecl1958 ] says:
on October 3, 2008 9:53 PM

Uhhhh, you guys, what dugout cam are you talking about? I thought these games were only on TBS and otherwise only on Gameday Audio.



[ Bethie ] says:
on October 3, 2008 9:54 PM

Alright Dice. No implosion and walking the whole ballpark tonight, p-p-please.



[ Karen ] says:
on October 3, 2008 9:54 PM

the dugout cam is through mlb.com



[ Erin3 ] says:
on October 3, 2008 9:54 PM

glad to see I'm not the only one out of the loop.



[ Ian ] says:
on October 3, 2008 9:54 PM

It's the TBS hot corner on MLB.com.



[ lone1c ] says:
on October 3, 2008 9:54 PM

Thanks, Karen.



[ Erin3 ] says:
on October 3, 2008 9:54 PM

do you have to have mlb.tv?



[ Mac ] says:
on October 3, 2008 9:54 PM

The dugout cam is on the mlb.com/TBS Hot Corner thing.



[ Erin ] says:
on October 3, 2008 9:55 PM

I would also love to know about this dugout cam.



[ Bethie ] says:
on October 3, 2008 9:55 PM

If you go to tbs sports page they have a hot corner app you can run, it's just like game day and gives you 4 different views of the game.

Sometimes you are lucky enough to get a dugout view, but it's about 2 pitches behind the TV broadcast.



[ Karen ] says:
on October 3, 2008 9:55 PM

dugout cam is up again, just now angels.



[ Mac ] says:
on October 3, 2008 9:55 PM

Erin3 - No. It's free and login is not necessary.



[ Jessi ] says:
on October 3, 2008 9:56 PM

Here's the link guys:

http://tiny.cc/Dugoutcam



[ Karen ] says:
on October 3, 2008 9:56 PM

I wish their was a way to have sox on the dugout cam throughout the game, not just when they are up.



[ Bethie ] says:
on October 3, 2008 9:56 PM

It's fun watching Tito pace. :)



[ ecl1958 ] says:
on October 3, 2008 9:58 PM

Whew -- thanks, Jessi. Now if only I had a laptop so I could watch that AND TBS...guess I'll run back and forth some more.



[ Ian ] says:
on October 3, 2008 9:58 PM

I think i've created a monster after sharing that with y'all the other night.



[ Mac ] says:
on October 3, 2008 9:59 PM

C'mon, Daisuke. GET THE OUT.



[ Avery ] says:
on October 3, 2008 9:59 PM

How do you get to the red sox dugout?



[ Jessi ] says:
on October 3, 2008 10:00 PM

NOO!



[ Karen ] says:
on October 3, 2008 10:00 PM

I enjoy watching Tek, and the occasional viewing of Beckett, and Papelbon (until the 4th or 5th, when he heads to the bullpen).



[ fc ] says:
on October 3, 2008 10:00 PM

OK, guys, wtf was that?



[ Ian ] says:
on October 3, 2008 10:00 PM

Schilling takes another shot at the Curly Haired Boyfriend:

From 38 Pitches

Oh and I know I claimed I’d never mention him again but I can’t pass this up. CHB, no one that’s EVER worn a major league uniform has uttered the term ‘cookie fastball’… Where the hell did you hear that? A fastball down the pipe is a cookie, or some of the products Keebler makes are cookies, but there is no such thing as a ‘cookie fastball’ you dork.



[ Mac ] says:
on October 3, 2008 10:00 PM

Avery - The feed for the Sox dugout is only shown when they're batting.



[ fc ] says:
on October 3, 2008 10:01 PM

Practice, Avery; practice.



[ Mac ] says:
on October 3, 2008 10:01 PM

Ahh...wtf was that?



[ Ian ] says:
on October 3, 2008 10:01 PM

It shows the dugout of the team at-bat.



[ Jessi ] says:
on October 3, 2008 10:01 PM

My blood pressure is already through the roof.



[ joyosity ] says:
on October 3, 2008 10:02 PM

Hmm, I just realized, if it was a Dodgers Red Sox WS, that means we'd be able to chant, "Beat LA" for the 3rd time this year.



[ ecl1958 ] says:
on October 3, 2008 10:03 PM

So you guys said the TBS cams are 2 pitches behind the TV broadcast?



[ Karen ] says:
on October 3, 2008 10:03 PM

Yeah, I want Sox dugout only. Too bad you couldn't pick. And I turn up the sound when they score, of course it is one pitch behind, but still good. Heard Papelbon when they scored. Technically a mic in that dugout is bad. But good for fans.



[ Ian ] says:
on October 3, 2008 10:03 PM

Hit a homahhhhh Youk



[ Erin ] says:
on October 3, 2008 10:03 PM

This dugout cam is kinda cool



[ Mac ] says:
on October 3, 2008 10:04 PM

ecl - That seems about right.



[ Erin3 ] says:
on October 3, 2008 10:04 PM

How do I get it to show the Red Sox dugout?



[ Erin3 ] says:
on October 3, 2008 10:05 PM

sorry I posted without looking



[ ecl1958 ] says:
on October 3, 2008 10:05 PM

I *like* this feature -- thanks to all who gave us laggards a heads up about it. Having missed the gameday thread Wednesday night, I had no idea...



[ Erin ] says:
on October 3, 2008 10:06 PM

That jacket is ugly.



[ Danielle ] says:
on October 3, 2008 10:06 PM

Hey everyone! A little late but I'm still doing work for my clinicals....

Sager really has quite a different style.



[ Karen ] says:
on October 3, 2008 10:06 PM

Does Sager know I just ate? Eww



[ Kim ] says:
on October 3, 2008 10:09 PM

Crap!



[ fc ] says:
on October 3, 2008 10:09 PM

Damn, I thought Pony hit that out.



[ ecl1958 ] says:
on October 3, 2008 10:09 PM

Pedie was robbed.



[ Kristin ] says:
on October 3, 2008 10:09 PM

aw dam



[ lone1c ] says:
on October 3, 2008 10:10 PM

Yeah--that was about 1% shy of making it 6-1 Sox.



[ Karen ] says:
on October 3, 2008 10:10 PM

Halos? That's as bad as the monkeys.



[ Kim ] says:
on October 3, 2008 10:12 PM

Why? Why? Why can he not pronounce Ortiz?



[ ecl1958 ] says:
on October 3, 2008 10:12 PM

I wish they would stop mispronouncing Ortiz. I noticed that the other night. It really bugs me.



[ ecl1958 ] says:
on October 3, 2008 10:13 PM

I see that great minds think alike, Kim.



[ Mac ] says:
on October 3, 2008 10:16 PM

Dice-K



[ Kristin ] says:
on October 3, 2008 10:16 PM

Dice-K



[ Erin3 ] says:
on October 3, 2008 10:18 PM

nice Dice



[ Mac ] says:
on October 3, 2008 10:18 PM

Dice-KK



[ erin3 ] says:
on October 3, 2008 10:19 PM

yes`



[ Mac ] says:
on October 3, 2008 10:19 PM

Nice 1-2-3 inning, Daisuke!



[ Kristin ] says:
on October 3, 2008 10:19 PM

more innings like that Dice-KK



[ ecl1958 ] says:
on October 3, 2008 10:19 PM

VERY nice work!



[ Kim ] says:
on October 3, 2008 10:20 PM

Faith we are great minds. Aren't we?



[ Bethie ] says:
on October 3, 2008 10:20 PM

There you go Dice-K!

Wonder when they are going to intentionally walk Bay?



[ ecl1958 ] says:
on October 3, 2008 10:21 PM

:::grins at Kim:::

so my daughter just came down stairs and asked if she can stay up and watch the game since she took a nap today...what a negotiator...how can I say no



[ ecl1958 ] says:
on October 3, 2008 10:28 PM

It's Friday night, Kristin, why not let her watch the game?



[ Kristin ] says:
on October 3, 2008 10:30 PM

of course she can....i just find her negotiating skills funny...she's 3, she takes a nap everyday



[ Mac ] says:
on October 3, 2008 10:36 PM

C'mon, Daisuke. GET THE OUT.



[ Jessi ] says:
on October 3, 2008 10:37 PM

Stop giving up two-out hits!



[ Jessi ] says:
on October 3, 2008 10:39 PM

YES!!



[ Ian ] says:
on October 3, 2008 10:39 PM

nice way to hurt yourself Torii



[ Danielle ] says:
on October 3, 2008 10:39 PM

Thank you, Dice! Next time though, no stress is needed.



[ joyosity ] says:
on October 3, 2008 10:39 PM

Yeah! Uh oh, get up, Hunter. It's time for the Sox to bat!



[ Kim ] says:
on October 3, 2008 10:39 PM

Did Torii just get hurt having a tantrum?



[ Jessi ] says:
on October 3, 2008 10:40 PM

Wow, Hunter doesn't look good - did he hurt himself jumping up and down after that call?



[ Liza ] says:
on October 3, 2008 10:40 PM

Oh, Torii.



[ Erin ] says:
on October 3, 2008 10:40 PM

How did he hurt himself?



[ ecl1958 ] says:
on October 3, 2008 10:40 PM

He did jump up and down pretty vigorously, Jessi.



[ fc ] says:
on October 3, 2008 10:45 PM

Cora's earning his pay tonight.



[ Liza ] says:
on October 3, 2008 10:45 PM

AC really does hit Santana well.



[ Mac ] says:
on October 3, 2008 10:46 PM

JACOBY!!



[ Jessi ] says:
on October 3, 2008 10:46 PM

JACOBY!!



[ Liza ] says:
on October 3, 2008 10:46 PM

ELLS!



[ Kristin ] says:
on October 3, 2008 10:46 PM

TACOBY!



[ Karen ] says:
on October 3, 2008 10:46 PM

Yeah.



[ Danielle ] says:
on October 3, 2008 10:46 PM

Ells!



[ Erin ] says:
on October 3, 2008 10:47 PM

Sweet



[ Meghan ] says:
on October 3, 2008 10:48 PM

Gotta give Tito props for starting Cora.



[ ecl1958 ] says:
on October 3, 2008 10:48 PM

I love it when they string together hits like that...



[ Erin3 ] says:
on October 3, 2008 10:51 PM

I swear, for atheletes, they sure are injury-prone.



[ fc ] says:
on October 3, 2008 10:53 PM

You know, I never want to see anyone get hurt, but that was hilarious.



[ Danielle ] says:
on October 3, 2008 10:53 PM

Dice-KKK



[ Jessi ] says:
on October 3, 2008 10:54 PM

Aww nice effort Bay.



[ Erin3 ] says:
on October 3, 2008 10:55 PM

I always wonder how Tek communicates with Diasuke on the mound. How much japanese/english do they know?



[ Ian ] says:
on October 3, 2008 10:56 PM

Tek just tells him Domi Arigato, Mr. Roboto



[ Erin3 ] says:
on October 3, 2008 10:58 PM

lol Ian



[ Erin ] says:
on October 3, 2008 10:59 PM

Thanks Ian. Now I'm going to have that song stuck in my head for the rest of the weekend.



[ Meghan ] says:
on October 3, 2008 10:59 PM

Funny...when I think of Dice-K, "Master of Control" is one of the farthest things from my mind.



[ kim ] says:
on October 3, 2008 11:00 PM

did you see tha stat? "1 for 28 with 2 stikes." Stikes? Proofread anyone?



[ Erin ] says:
on October 3, 2008 11:00 PM

Crap.



[ Mac ] says:
on October 3, 2008 11:00 PM

Crap



[ Erin3 ] says:
on October 3, 2008 11:00 PM

Aw damn



[ Karen ] says:
on October 3, 2008 11:00 PM

ugh.



[ Mac ] says:
on October 3, 2008 11:01 PM

C'mon, Daisuke. GET THE OUT.



[ Danielle ] says:
on October 3, 2008 11:01 PM

Get the damn out, Dice.



[ Erin ] says:
on October 3, 2008 11:01 PM

These two out hits by the Angels are annoying



[ Kristin ] says:
on October 3, 2008 11:02 PM

thundersticks= almost as annoying as cowbells



[ Erin ] says:
on October 3, 2008 11:03 PM

Damnit Dice-K throw strikes!



[ Meghan ] says:
on October 3, 2008 11:03 PM

Holy shit. He is "missing by deisgn"????



[ Erin3 ] says:
on October 3, 2008 11:04 PM

Sometimes if I miss the game, I come here in the morning and read the comments. It's so funny. It's bits of random conversation followed by things like Ells! Jacoby! Jacoco! Tacoby! Ells! so I think well Jacoby must've done well here. Followed by more bits of random conversation and then Damn! Crap! Ugh! Shit! WTF! and I think well something bad must've happened here.



[ Mac ] says:
on October 3, 2008 11:04 PM

THROW STRIKES, DAISUKE.



[ Erin ] says:
on October 3, 2008 11:04 PM

Like that.



[ Mac ] says:
on October 3, 2008 11:05 PM

Dice-KKKK

Don't ever scare me again, Dice.



[ Ian ] says:
on October 3, 2008 11:05 PM

Okay boys let's get the run back again.



[ Kristin ] says:
on October 3, 2008 11:05 PM

Dice-KKKK...thank you....now stop making it interesting



[ Danielle ] says:
on October 3, 2008 11:05 PM

Thank you for ending that Dice-KKKK



[ ecl1958 ] says:
on October 3, 2008 11:06 PM

Kristin, I agree about the thundersticks. It sounds like a bunch of cicadas in there.



[ fc ] says:
on October 3, 2008 11:08 PM

E3, I usually peek at these threads when I come home after I've been to a game. It's fun to see how everyone here reacted after the fact.



[ Jessi ] says:
on October 3, 2008 11:08 PM

Whoever decided to hand out noise makers to fans at baseball games need to be shot. Rays have the cowbells and now the Angles have thundersticks. I love how Fenway does it old school and the crowd knows when and how to cheer.

Oh and I'll throw in rally towels with this little rant. I don't understand how waving towels around is supposed to motivate your team. I thought that the waving of a white flag stands for surrender, right?



[ Erin3 ] says:
on October 3, 2008 11:10 PM

I agree Jessi. Oooohhhh I'm so scared of the towels. Whatchyagonnado shine my shoes?



[ Jessi ] says:
on October 3, 2008 11:11 PM

Haha Erin.



[ joyosity ] says:
on October 3, 2008 11:11 PM

I do love how we don't have any prompts to cheer at Fenway.



[ Kristin ] says:
on October 3, 2008 11:11 PM

We don't need ridiculous props in this house



[ Mac ] says:
on October 3, 2008 11:11 PM

Jessi, that's exactly what I think whenever I see those "rally towels." My first reaction when I see those towels is usually, "What? You're giving up on your team already?"

And I'm glad Fenway is old school and they don't have any of those annoying noise makers.



[ Meghan ] says:
on October 3, 2008 11:11 PM

Hey, those towels ended up being useful for Indians fans last year...



[ Danielle ] says:
on October 3, 2008 11:11 PM

Robbed again. WTF



[ fc ] says:
on October 3, 2008 11:12 PM

Dammit. Our 2 MVP's have both been robbed tonight.



[ Jessi ] says:
on October 3, 2008 11:12 PM

I hate these a-few-more-feet-and-it's-gone fly balls.



[ Liza ] says:
on October 3, 2008 11:12 PM

They handed out those ridiculous towels at Rally Monday, but they weren't Red Sox--they were TBS Postseason towels.

The only thing mine has done thus far has been to help catch confetti.



[ Kim ] says:
on October 3, 2008 11:14 PM

Night, I'm going to watch in bed sans laptop.



[ Erin ] says:
on October 3, 2008 11:14 PM

Real fans don't need towels, cowbells or thundersticks.



[ Mac ] says:
on October 3, 2008 11:15 PM

Did the Rockies give out those towels in the WS? I can't remember anymore...



[ Karen ] says:
on October 3, 2008 11:15 PM

those towels just make me want to grab a lighter. Nothing like a little fire to keep you warm.



[ fc ] says:
on October 3, 2008 11:16 PM

No offense, Liza, and I don't think this is sour grapes, but that fits with my impression that that "rally" was a staged-for-TV-event. There were, what, 3 sections of the satnds filled with people? And the camera angles were very carefully set to make it look packed.

Having said that, if I could have gone, I would have. I'll take any opportunity to be near my Sox.



[ Erin ] says:
on October 3, 2008 11:16 PM

It annoyed me so much to see towels at the Bruins playoff games this year.



[ Jessi ] says:
on October 3, 2008 11:17 PM

When I went to Yankee Stadium this summer I was shocked to see the electronic board flash messages like "Make some noise!" or animated clapping hands. Please do not tell me that Fenway also uses this technique to encourage the crowd.



[ Liza ] says:
on October 3, 2008 11:18 PM

Oh, it totally was. I was just dying to go to Fenway one more time (because the chances of me getting playoff tix = nada) before the offseason. Plus, as you say, being near the players is fun (not that they did anything other than talk to the NESN guys and get on buses... but anyway).



[ fc ] says:
on October 3, 2008 11:18 PM

Anyone have any idea what Dice-K's pitch count is?



[ Jessi ] says:
on October 3, 2008 11:19 PM

STOP walking the leadoff guy!



[ Mac ] says:
on October 3, 2008 11:19 PM

fc - 80.



[ Liza ] says:
on October 3, 2008 11:20 PM

Jessi - I had the same impression. Because it isn't loud already? It's a freakin baseball game.



[ joyosity ] says:
on October 3, 2008 11:22 PM

Jessi - no way, everything at Fenway is organic and home-grown. =)



[ Jessi ] says:
on October 3, 2008 11:23 PM

Not good, really not good.



[ Erin ] says:
on October 3, 2008 11:23 PM

Damn it!



[ fc ] says:
on October 3, 2008 11:23 PM

C'mon, Houdini - make it right.



[ Mac ] says:
on October 3, 2008 11:24 PM

Jessi - They have those same messages when I went to the Oakland Coliseum earlier this year. Sure, I understand how A's fans are disappointed with their team this year and everything, but still. It gets annoying sometimes.


Ugh, Dice. THROW STRIKES, PLEASE.



[ Jessi ] says:
on October 3, 2008 11:24 PM

Joy - Good to hear. I had always thought Yankee Stadium was like that, so seeing all of that made me second guess true crowd reaction.



[ Mac ] says:
on October 3, 2008 11:25 PM

Triple play, please?



[ Jessi ] says:
on October 3, 2008 11:25 PM

Sucky check-swing call right there.



[ Jessi ] says:
on October 3, 2008 11:26 PM

DAMN IT



[ Mac ] says:
on October 3, 2008 11:26 PM

SHIT



[ Karen ] says:

[ Bethie ] says:
on October 3, 2008 11:27 PM

Well that was not good.



[ Mac ] says:
on October 3, 2008 11:27 PM

C'mon, Daisuke. GET THE OUTS.



[ Liza ] says:
on October 3, 2008 11:28 PM

Craaaaap.



[ fc ] says:
on October 3, 2008 11:29 PM

MOTHER OF GOD Dice-K



[ Mac ] says:
on October 3, 2008 11:29 PM

DAISUKE, THROW FUCKING STRIKES.



[ joyosity ] says:
on October 3, 2008 11:32 PM

Thank you. And now a double play, please!



[ Kristin ] says:
on October 3, 2008 11:32 PM

now would be a great time for a dp



[ Mac ] says:
on October 3, 2008 11:32 PM

DP, please.



[ Liza ] says:
on October 3, 2008 11:34 PM

One more out. Cmon, Dice, you got this.



[ Ian ] says:
on October 3, 2008 11:36 PM

throw a fucking strike already



[ ecl1958 ] says:
on October 3, 2008 11:37 PM

I.Am.So.Drained.Right.Now.



[ Ian ] says:
on October 3, 2008 11:37 PM

I'm going to state the obvious here but the game for us is now in the hands of our bullpen.



[ fc ] says:
on October 3, 2008 11:37 PM

Thank YOOOUK



[ Kristin ] says:
on October 3, 2008 11:37 PM

::exhaling:: how about some more runs now



[ Bethie ] says:
on October 3, 2008 11:37 PM

Whew...

Thank you for 5 innings Dice K. Now, we need some insurance runs.



[ LifelongSoxFan ] says:
on October 3, 2008 11:38 PM

whew! what an inning! I love how they refer to Tek as The Computer.



[ Jessi ] says:
on October 3, 2008 11:38 PM

Phew. Ok, considering Dice-K was a pitch away from walking the bases loaded w/ no outs, coming away with only a run given up isn't too bad.



[ LifelongSoxFan ] says:
on October 3, 2008 11:39 PM

Ian, I was thinking that very same thought about now.



[ fc ] says:
on October 3, 2008 11:42 PM

So who was just booing whom?



[ Jessi ] says:
on October 3, 2008 11:44 PM

Haha it figures that Tek's first hit of the series is a defensive swing.



[ Jessi ] says:
on October 3, 2008 11:45 PM

WHOA - is this a new "Viva Viagra!" commercial?



[ Jessi ] says:
on October 3, 2008 11:53 PM

DAMN DAMN DAMN



[ Mac ] says:
on October 3, 2008 11:53 PM

CRAP



[ ecl1958 ] says:
on October 3, 2008 11:54 PM

DAMMIT!



[ fc ] says:
on October 3, 2008 11:54 PM

(Sadly slumps in chair)



[ Kristin ] says:
on October 3, 2008 11:54 PM

thats not how I pictured that going



[ jenny again ] says:
on October 3, 2008 11:54 PM

Aww, biscuits.



[ Erin ] says:
on October 3, 2008 11:54 PM

That both sucked and blew.



[ ecl1958 ] says:
on October 3, 2008 11:55 PM

That was...frustrating.



[ Mac ] says:
on October 3, 2008 11:56 PM

That's not how I wanted the inning to go.



[ Erin3 ] says:
on October 4, 2008 12:00 AM

wow did AC actually catch the ball before he threw it?



[ Jessi ] says:
on October 4, 2008 12:03 AM

Beckett!



[ Karen ] says:
on October 4, 2008 12:04 AM

Oh man, even Beckett has the beard growing. What is it with the post-season beard? Still yummy though.



[ Karen ] says:
on October 4, 2008 12:04 AM

Yes!!



[ Mac ] says:
on October 4, 2008 12:04 AM

A Beckett sighting! :D

DREW!!



[ Jessi ] says:
on October 4, 2008 12:04 AM

DREW



[ Kristin ] says:
on October 4, 2008 12:04 AM

Josh in the dugout...playing with a bat...=)



[ ecl1958 ] says:
on October 4, 2008 12:05 AM

Oh, JD, that was AMAZING!



[ fc ] says:
on October 4, 2008 12:05 AM

DREWWWWWWW



[ Jessi ] says:
on October 4, 2008 12:05 AM

I thought that was gone for sure - like at least ten rows back gone.



[ Kristin ] says:
on October 4, 2008 12:05 AM

JD....thank you



[ ecl1958 ] says:
on October 4, 2008 12:06 AM

Kristin, not only was Josh in the dugout playing with a bat, he was SMILING! How often do we see him smile?



[ Erin ] says:
on October 4, 2008 12:07 AM

That catch nearly gave me a heart attack



[ joyosity ] says:
on October 4, 2008 12:08 AM

I know, that smile was shocking!



[ fc ] says:
on October 4, 2008 12:10 AM

GODDAMMIT.
That was a nice catch.



[ fc ] says:
on October 4, 2008 12:10 AM

I think it's about time for quiet JD to make some noyze.



[ Karen ] says:
on October 4, 2008 12:10 AM

I kept trying to see him when they showed the dugout cam, he is always at the other end of the dugout. Still enjoying Tek though.



[ Kristin ] says:
on October 4, 2008 12:14 AM

I don;t know who I like better...f-bombing, cooler kicking Josh, or smiling, playing with a bat, calling Mikey Lowell teenwolf Josh...



[ Ian ] says:
on October 4, 2008 12:14 AM

i'm cold



[ Jessi ] says:
on October 4, 2008 12:15 AM

Ha that Yankee fan looks so lost.



[ fc ] says:
on October 4, 2008 12:15 AM

THAT IS ENTIRELY ENOUGH WASTED OPPORTUNITIES



[ Karen ] says:
on October 4, 2008 12:16 AM

not cold here, have the ac running every 20mins or sooner.



[ Mac ] says:
on October 4, 2008 12:16 AM

Can we please stop leaving guys on base?



[ ecl1958 ] says:
on October 4, 2008 12:16 AM

Stop stranding runners. :::growls:::



[ ecl1958 ] says:
on October 4, 2008 12:18 AM

It was in the 30s last night here and is supposed to do the same tonight.



[ fc ] says:
on October 4, 2008 12:19 AM

It's a cold world.



[ Karen ] says:
on October 4, 2008 12:19 AM

I actually wish it was cooler, it's fall, tired of the heat.



[ Erin3 ] says:
on October 4, 2008 12:21 AM

hehe my mom just caught a glimpse of ugly suit guy and said "hideous, party of one?"



[ fc ] says:
on October 4, 2008 12:25 AM

Oki is clearly trying to kill me.



[ Karen ] says:
on October 4, 2008 12:27 AM

Please hang the monkey. It's as bad as the cowbells.



[ Kristin ] says:
on October 4, 2008 12:27 AM

really, "jump around"...and a monkey



[ Erin ] says:
on October 4, 2008 12:27 AM

AHH Rally Monkeys!



[ Mac ] says:
on October 4, 2008 12:28 AM

Those rally monkeys -- and the cowbells -- need to go away.



[ Karen ] says:
on October 4, 2008 12:31 AM

I think I should have had a drink.



[ Erin ] says:
on October 4, 2008 12:32 AM

Damn it! Stop it all of you!



[ Mac ] says:
on October 4, 2008 12:32 AM

C'mon, Justin. GET THE OUTS.



[ Erin ] says:
on October 4, 2008 12:32 AM

Damn it! Stop it all of you!



[ joyosity ] says:
on October 4, 2008 12:33 AM

Do that again!



[ Kristin ] says:
on October 4, 2008 12:33 AM

one more J-Mast



[ Erin ] says:
on October 4, 2008 12:34 AM

Damn it! Stop it all of you!



[ Erin ] says:
on October 4, 2008 12:34 AM

Ekk My computer sucks.



[ fc ] says:
on October 4, 2008 12:34 AM

Know what would be awful? Rally monkeys with cowbells.



[ Karen ] says:
on October 4, 2008 12:35 AM

F&%K F*&K F&$K



[ fc ] says:
on October 4, 2008 12:37 AM

Well it won't bother me because THE RED SOX WILL HAVE KILLED ME.



[ Jessi ] says:

Thank you, Justin.



[ Kristin ] says:
on October 4, 2008 12:38 AM

ok boys, REALLLLLY need some insurance runs NOW



[ Ian ] says:
on October 4, 2008 12:38 AM

Either that fc or some one sending you something bad. :D



[ Erin ] says:
on October 4, 2008 12:39 AM

Thank you. Bats had better do their job here.



[ Jessi ] says:
on October 4, 2008 12:39 AM

Since that first inning, we have scored one run. Not cool.

We need insurance runs. Please.



[ ecl1958 ] says:
on October 4, 2008 12:39 AM

Okay...c'mon BATS!!!



[ fc ] says:
on October 4, 2008 12:40 AM

Just mind your manners, young man.



[ Mac ] says:
on October 4, 2008 12:48 AM

*crickets*



[ ecl1958 ] says:
on October 4, 2008 12:50 AM

Mac, I have to wonder if everyone is watching from the comfort of their beds.



[ Karen ] says:
on October 4, 2008 12:51 AM

For those of you with the dugout cam, behind tito is that a glass booth or elevator? Had a Willy Wonka deja vu.



[ Ian ] says:
on October 4, 2008 12:52 AM

I'm watching under my covers on the couch. That way I get the HD feed.



[ Kristin ] says:
on October 4, 2008 12:52 AM

i'm too nervous to type



[ Jessi ] says:
on October 4, 2008 12:53 AM

Well I'm here, but slowly falling asleep. I've gotten four or less hours of sleep the past four nights and have to get up at 5:30 again.



[ Erin ] says:
on October 4, 2008 12:53 AM

Fuck!



[ Ian ] says:
on October 4, 2008 12:53 AM

well that just blows chowdah chunks



[ Mac ] says:
on October 4, 2008 12:53 AM

Crap



[ Erin3 ] says:
on October 4, 2008 12:54 AM

ugh I can't stand how K-rod pitches always falling over and trying to play it off like he's kneeling...we all know you just fell. you can't field a ball from that position.



[ fc ] says:
on October 4, 2008 12:54 AM

I've been conferring with my clergyman.



[ Karen ] says:
on October 4, 2008 12:54 AM

Paps. Happy time.



[ Karen ] says:
on October 4, 2008 12:56 AM

Hang the monkey.



[ Erin ] says:
on October 4, 2008 12:56 AM

I hate rally monkeys, towels thunder sticks and cowbells.



[ ecl1958 ] says:
on October 4, 2008 12:56 AM

fc -- HA!

Okay Paps...

Guys, just remember: this is not a must win game. It was a must to win at least one of the first two. We have Beckett and Lester pitching at home in the next two games.

With that being said, lets go Pap!



[ fc ] says:
on October 4, 2008 12:58 AM

Next two games, Jessi? Have you thrown in your rally towel on this one?



[ Kristin ] says:
on October 4, 2008 12:58 AM

2 more like that Pap



[ Jessi ] says:
on October 4, 2008 12:59 AM

FUCK



[ Mac ] says:
on October 4, 2008 12:59 AM

Shit

[ Erin3 ] says:

dammit



[ Ian ] says:
on October 4, 2008 12:59 AM

AGAIN I SAY FUCK ME



[ Kristin ] says:
on October 4, 2008 12:59 AM

DAMMIT



[ Erin ] says:
on October 4, 2008 1:00 AM

I don't understand why Masterson was out for the start of the inning



[ Karen ] says:
on October 4, 2008 1:00 AM

I know it's not a must win, but I want to win.



[ Jessi ] says:
on October 4, 2008 1:00 AM

By no means, fc. I'm just saying it's not the end of the world if we lose this one. Though, I would very much so appreciate some Sox runs in the ninth.



[ Piney61 ] says:
on October 4, 2008 1:01 AM

I haven't posted at all this game...so I thought I'd just post once to say hey. I have no mojo. I dunno my mojo is just disappeared. I got nothing.



[ Karen ] says:
on October 4, 2008 1:02 AM

Paps didn't help by saying on he thinks this series will go all 5 games. We don't need any jinxing.



[ Piney61 ] says:
on October 4, 2008 1:03 AM

I think TBS is just happy that there's a potential team that may go beyond 3 games...



[ Jessi ] says:
on October 4, 2008 1:03 AM

We really need to score some runs in the ninth - I can't afford to stay up for extra innings.



[ ecl1958 ] says:
on October 4, 2008 1:04 AM

Hey there Piney. I hope your mojo shows up again...



[ ecl1958 ] says:
on October 4, 2008 1:05 AM

I'm really tired too, Jessi.



[ Ian ] says:
on October 4, 2008 1:05 AM

every game is a must win game.



[ Kristin ] says:
on October 4, 2008 1:05 AM

Papi, Youk and JD in the 9th....how about a run or two boys



[ Ian ] says:
on October 4, 2008 1:05 AM

FUCK. Why couldn't the wall be a little shorter.



[ fc ] says:
on October 4, 2008 1:05 AM

I heart Papi. Wish that was a little farther though.



[ Kristin ] says:
on October 4, 2008 1:07 AM

how many more times tonight can we have an "almost gone"



[ fc ] says:
on October 4, 2008 1:07 AM

I actually know some idiots who got tickets to "Home Game 2 (If necessary)" say that they hope the Sox drop one in Anaheim so they get to go to the game. Know what? I got tix too. And I will be delighted if that game isn't necessary.



[ Ian ] says:
on October 4, 2008 1:08 AM

dang it Youk. You have to get him over to third.



[ Ian ] says:
on October 4, 2008 1:09 AM

[ fc ] says:

[ fc ] says:
on October 4, 2008 1:12 AM

I would like to pause on this occasion to thank JD's herniated disc for chilling today.



[ Kristin ] says:
on October 4, 2008 1:12 AM

I just woke up my daughter who had falllen asleep on the couch.....she doesn't seem to care though!



[ fc ] says:

[ Ian ] says:
on October 4, 2008 1:21 AM

[ eRIN3 ] says:

[ Lindsay ] says:
on October 4, 2008 1:22 AM

[ Ian ] says:

That included me. Sadly. I feel asleep on the couch in the fifth. -shoods self- I haven't fallen asleep during a game (with the exception of the ASG) since... well since they played that one exhibition game at like 12 PM EST. Oh well.

Yay D Drew?
