Friday double header


I'm chained to my desk all day so will be following the 1:05 game closely. Anyone else around for a game thread?

Also, when Googling "two-headed turtle" I came across this amazing web page. Yikes.

  1. Earl. You are simply amazing. I have a call at 1PM and a meeting at 2PM. So I will try my best to post, but I will be a bit distracted.

    The amazing website is... well... yea... I don't have the words...

  3. A better question is why were you googling two headed turtle?

    The future is now. Well, not really, but perhpas a glimpse into the future.

    I am here for the next 80 minutes.

  4. A walk, not good. I'm sure Figgins will be off soon.

  5. great, big error early.

  6. So 1-0 after one half inning (with a walk and error) not so bad. He gets his first inning and first K and first adversity over with. And worked out of a mini jam.n Could be much worse.

    I'm only following on line. are you listening? what was the error?

  7. Just one run scored, not Clay's fault. Cy Lackey on the mound...

  8. Sox hit for the cycle by 0.1 IP...

  9. Went to the crapper for three minutes and came back and its 5-1. Maybe I shold go back in....

  10. Even Cora gets a double. Sox are slugging 1.667 so far.

  11. Tek's catching now. Is Mirabelli hurt?

  12. "BOSTON CATCHER DOUG MIRABELLI LEFT THE GAME IN THE TOP OF THE SECOND INNING WITH AN APPARENT RIGHT LEG INJURY"

    Not good. Especially today. Maybe they will call up a catcher for game 2 instead of Elsbury.

  13. Wily Mo Pena for Piazza!!!!

    Ok, that isn't going to happen...

  14. Holy Crap!

    And by that I mean, Longo you should spend all the Red Sox games on the crapper for the first inning.

  15. 1 Run, 2 BB, 1 H, 1 k in 2.0 Innings... it's a start... I feel like it's shaky but I honestly have no clue.

  16. Looks ok to me...Especially since he is 23!

    I hope that there isn't retaliation for the pinging of Manny (even though it was sort of on purpose)...

  17. Wily Mo to the Nationals - figures since Bowden loves him and traded for him before. PTBNL is someone pretty low in the system.

    At least they did not give Wily Mo a tow year extension before he completely crapped the bed (like Cincy did with Brandon Arroyo).

  18. Yeah its hard to tell by "watching" on line. He may be throwing great. Or maybe not. Two walks is not good. The first, okay maybe its nerves. But after getting staked a five run lead - throw strikes. And strikes have not been a problem for him in the minors.

  19. Especially when its a .190 hitter.

  20. And of course I will firmly plant my ass on the can tonight around 7:15 EDT.

  21. X, only if you lived around Boston...You could have a nice Anna's burrito and be all set for 7 tonight.

  22. I am watching on tv. He doesn't look over powering, but he looks poised.

  23. One thing CA is not lacking is good mexican food. I'll make sure to have a good lunch and I should be good and ready game two.

    Although, I'm not sure if this is really a tradition I need to bee starting.

    How fast does the NESN gun have him throwing?

    ReplyDelete
  24. Oh dear.... this doesn't look good.

    ReplyDelete
  25. Looks like he got out of trouble, but still the lead has dwindled.

    ReplyDelete
  26. 2 down for Paps in the 9th...

    ReplyDelete
  27. Nice work! That is the way to start things off!

    ReplyDelete
  28. I don't know what the gun was saying...but his change-up was his out pitch...

    ReplyDelete
  29. Damn. My body clock is off a bit. I bet the Sox hit some mammoth HRs in batting practice....

    Couldn't hold out until 7:15.

    ReplyDelete
  30. ...and it shows. Erven Santana with 3 innings of no-hit ball...

    ReplyDelete
  31. As Daisy just said, "Fuck YEAH!"... to lazy to sign in... IBID

    ReplyDelete
  32. Aw crap, tying run on 3rd, 1 out.

    Gagne's really been nothing to write home about so far, huh.

    ReplyDelete
  33. ...and we have a tie game. Awesome.

    ReplyDelete
  34. Sacre blew another save. I'm going to bed.

    ReplyDelete
  35. Gagne makes my head hurt - IBID

    ReplyDelete
  36. This is just silly... UGH

    ReplyDelete
  37. The amazing thing about that Gagne performance was he through about 30 pitches, alot of them were strikes and he got one swing and miss (Vladi on the first pitch of the AB).

    He was not fooling anyone.

  38. Saving my poop today for 4:15 come hell or high water.
