2 hits but no runs I'm taking it.

3. tfbg9 Posted: June 29, 2007 at 07:13 PM (#2422853)

Who's out there?

4. tfbg9 Posted: June 29, 2007 at 07:15 PM (#2422855)

Glad I missed the stressful 1st.

5. Elevate Phil Coorey Later Posted: June 29, 2007 at 07:16 PM (#2422863)

Glad I missed it as well

6. Curse of the Graffanino (dfan) Posted: June 29, 2007 at 07:17 PM (#2422866)

That wasn't so stressful - no one even got past first base.

7. tfbg9 Posted: June 29, 2007 at 07:18 PM (#2422867)

Two lame AB's.

8. John DiFool2 Posted: June 29, 2007 at 07:20 PM (#2422877)

Papi has hit a lot of those hard line outs to right lately...

9. Elevate Phil Coorey Later Posted: June 29, 2007 at 07:21 PM (#2422880)

I fell flat, I get the felling the team does as well.

Hope we snap out of this funk soon

10. Elevate Phil Coorey Later Posted: June 29, 2007 at 07:22 PM (#2422886)

Oh great, its the fukkking f cat

11. Elevate Phil Coorey Later Posted: June 29, 2007 at 07:23 PM (#2422888)

I feel flat, that should be.

12. tfbg9 Posted: June 29, 2007 at 07:23 PM (#2422889)

I'm going to be irritated if the Cat gets on here.

13. tfbg9 Posted: June 29, 2007 at 07:24 PM (#2422890)

Quick.

14. Elevate Phil Coorey Later Posted: June 29, 2007 at 07:24 PM (#2422891)

Nice reflexes.

15. Elevate Phil Coorey Later Posted: June 29, 2007 at 07:25 PM (#2422893)

I love crappy players who get bloop doubles

16. tfbg9 Posted: June 29, 2007 at 07:25 PM (#2422894)

Get the last one now, Wake.

17. tfbg9 Posted: June 29, 2007 at 07:26 PM (#2422897)

I'm a hardcore fan. Feel free to jam your idiotic cross promotions down my throat, Henry.

18. tfbg9 Posted: June 29, 2007 at 07:26 PM (#2422900)

The 1-2 looked good.

19. tfbg9 Posted: June 29, 2007 at 07:27 PM (#2422901)

All right. Kept it together.

20. Elevate Phil Coorey Later Posted: June 29, 2007 at 07:28 PM (#2422902)

I'm a hardcore fan. Feel free to jam your idiotic cross promotions down my throat, Henry.

Don't worry, it's coming later in the booth

21. Elevate Phil Coorey Later Posted: June 29, 2007 at 07:29 PM (#2422905)

Russel Crowe is a part owner of my favorite footy team out here. Check this out from last night....

Earlier, though, it seemed he was destined for a night out against the Bunnies in his 100th game for the Knights when he scored late in the first half.

MacDougall endured an acrimonious split with the Rabbitohs last season, trading verbal barbs with Crowe as he left the club on bad terms.

He didn't waste the opportunity to have another go at the Hollywood star tonight.

After scoring the try, MacDougall showed off his own acting skills by mimicking Crowe's infamous 2005 mobile-phone-throwing incident in a New York hotel.

He pretended to push buttons on the football as if it was a phone, and then tossed the ball gently at the head of teammate Cooper Vuna.

It was a moment of levity in an otherwise hard-fought clash between two clubs battling for a finals berth.

22. Elevate Phil Coorey Later Posted: June 29, 2007 at 07:31 PM (#2422914)

I don't care about racing. I only care about baseball

23. Elevate Phil Coorey Later Posted: June 29, 2007 at 07:32 PM (#2422915)

Show the game you #####

24. Elevate Phil Coorey Later Posted: June 29, 2007 at 07:33 PM (#2422916)

Good hustle Manny, thought he was in trouble

25. jim in providence Posted: June 29, 2007 at 07:33 PM (#2422919)

The Red Sox have some involvement in NASCAR?! I hadn't heard.

Oh, BTW Don and Jerry, Manny's on his horse!

26. Biff, Red Sox Jinx Posted: June 29, 2007 at 07:33 PM (#2422921)

Wheels!

27. John DiFool2 Posted: June 29, 2007 at 07:34 PM (#2422924)

That's a good start, and no Lugo tonite. Well there is Beerbelly...

28. jim in providence Posted: June 29, 2007 at 07:34 PM (#2422925)

The guy in the booth is the backflip guy, I guess. Admittedly, a grown man doing a backflip from a dead stand is pretty impressive.

29. Biff, Red Sox Jinx Posted: June 29, 2007 at 07:34 PM (#2422926)

NESN is built on the Red Sox. The station would not exist if not for the Red Sox. Therefore, I simply cannot understand why they don't think the baseball game alone is enough to hold their viewers' interest.

30. Biff, Red Sox Jinx Posted: June 29, 2007 at 07:36 PM (#2422934)

Oh, Manny.

31. Chip Posted: June 29, 2007 at 07:36 PM (#2422935)

I'm a hardcore fan. Feel free to jam your idiotic cross promotions down my throat, Henry.

Here's your Roush Fenway shopping list.

32. Elevate Phil Coorey Later Posted: June 29, 2007 at 07:36 PM (#2422936)

This will be fun, when we score none

33. jim in providence Posted: June 29, 2007 at 07:37 PM (#2422939)

A nice spirited run down for all the "Manny being Manny" morons. Yeah, he actually does care.

34. Biff, Red Sox Jinx Posted: June 29, 2007 at 07:38 PM (#2422943)

A nice spirited run down for all the "Manny being Manny" morons. Yeah, he actually does care.

Anyone who hates Manny is a Communist. There I said it.

35. Chip Posted: June 29, 2007 at 07:39 PM (#2422944)

Remy says Manny's play was the correct one. Otherwise it's a doubleplay.

36. John DiFool2 Posted: June 29, 2007 at 07:39 PM (#2422949)

0-0 to Belli a strike?

37. John DiFool2 Posted: June 29, 2007 at 07:39 PM (#2422950)

Err Cora.

38. Biff, Red Sox Jinx Posted: June 29, 2007 at 07:40 PM (#2422954)

I thought Cora was supposed to be smart. That was not a smart swing.

39. jim in providence Posted: June 29, 2007 at 07:41 PM (#2422955)

Anyone who hates Manny is a Communist. There I said it.

How 1950s of you.

"Sir, have you no decency"

There, I said it.

40. Biff, Red Sox Jinx Posted: June 29, 2007 at 07:41 PM (#2422958)

Not scoring with first/third and no outs is one thing; we're kind of used to that. But having that happen against Jamey Wright?

41. jim in providence Posted: June 29, 2007 at 07:41 PM (#2422959)

At least the Cora out brought that horrible interview to a close.

42. Chip Posted: June 29, 2007 at 07:43 PM (#2422964)

More timewasting in the stands with Cervasio.

43. Elevate Phil Coorey Later Posted: June 29, 2007 at 07:46 PM (#2422972)

This is gonna be a great loss

44. jim in providence Posted: June 29, 2007 at 07:47 PM (#2422974)

Amazing that you can spell her name. I dunno, she does her job (which, admittedly, is lame) pretty well. If she's our answer to Waldman, I like the answer.

45. Elevate Phil Coorey Later Posted: June 29, 2007 at 07:49 PM (#2422979)

Big DP by Joey and Taz

46. jim in providence Posted: June 29, 2007 at 07:49 PM (#2422982)

This is gonna be a great loss

OhMYGOD! I realize that Lagavulin is a powerful drink, but I'm utterly dismayed to learn that I passed out after a small indulgence and have now woken up in the top of the eighth!

Jamey Wright, BTW

47. John DiFool2 Posted: June 29, 2007 at 07:51 PM (#2422987)

The Kid with yet another turn.

48. Elevate Phil Coorey Later Posted: June 29, 2007 at 07:52 PM (#2422993)

OhMYGOD! I realize that Lagavulin is a powerful drink, but I'm utterly dismayed to learn that I passed out after a small indulgence and have now woken up in the top of the eighth!

After the big win by my boys Souths last night, I pulled out a Talisker.

It was great. Had to brush my teet afterwards before I got into bed. Bloody women!!!

49. Elevate Phil Coorey Later Posted: June 29, 2007 at 07:53 PM (#2422998)

I really hate Mirrabelli. He can't hit, can't throw and closes his ####### eyes and prays when Wakefield pitches

50. jim in providence Posted: June 29, 2007 at 07:54 PM (#2423001)

Bloody women!!!

Really? More than one? Perhaps you'll share the details when the Sox blow this out in the 4th.

51. Elevate Phil Coorey Later Posted: June 29, 2007 at 07:54 PM (#2423002)

I love good second basemen who get bloop doubles....

52. Chip Posted: June 29, 2007 at 07:54 PM (#2423003)

Pedroia looked like he limped all the way to second on that bloop, after fouling that ball off his foot on the previous pitch.

53. John DiFool2 Posted: June 29, 2007 at 07:55 PM (#2423004)

LOL-hit that off his shoetops.

54. Elevate Phil Coorey Later Posted: June 29, 2007 at 07:55 PM (#2423005)

Really? More than one? Perhaps you'll share the details when the Sox blow this out in the 4th.

Oops!!

55. Biff, Red Sox Jinx Posted: June 29, 2007 at 07:57 PM (#2423011)

C'mon, what was that, Youk?

56. Elevate Phil Coorey Later Posted: June 29, 2007 at 07:57 PM (#2423013)

Wtf youks?

57. jim in providence Posted: June 29, 2007 at 07:58 PM (#2423014)

Ok, so I just realized that I've been watching this game with a ten-minute delay. My daughter was experimenting with the DVR.

Go, Papi!

58. John DiFool2 Posted: June 29, 2007 at 07:59 PM (#2423015)

Papi is due.

59. Biff, Red Sox Jinx Posted: June 29, 2007 at 07:59 PM (#2423018)

I would just like to make it clear to the Red Sox that the pitcher they are facing is Jamey Wright, not Sandy Koufax.

60. Elevate Phil Coorey Later Posted: June 29, 2007 at 08:00 PM (#2423019)

excellent

61. jim in providence Posted: June 29, 2007 at 08:00 PM (#2423022)

I stick by my call - Sox go nuts in the fourth. I'll return after putting the kids to bed to enjoy the fruition of my premonition.

62. Curse of the Graffanino (dfan) Posted: June 29, 2007 at 08:07 PM (#2423033)

jim - I hate it when that happens.

63. Biff, Red Sox Jinx Posted: June 29, 2007 at 08:11 PM (#2423041)

That was quite the strange bounce that ball took.

Can we please score this time?

64. Chip Posted: June 29, 2007 at 08:12 PM (#2423042)

That's a huge bounce. Track must be really dried out.

65. Elevate Phil Coorey Later Posted: June 29, 2007 at 08:13 PM (#2423046)

Let's see if Jim is right....

HOPE SO!!!!

66. Elevate Phil Coorey Later Posted: June 29, 2007 at 08:14 PM (#2423047)

Lowell swing on the 2-1 was a shocker.

67. Chip Posted: June 29, 2007 at 08:14 PM (#2423048)

Lowell swings at ball three to get Wright back even in the count. On a pitch that was about 12 feet outside.

68. Chip Posted: June 29, 2007 at 08:15 PM (#2423049)

What a ####### awful AB.

69. Biff, Red Sox Jinx Posted: June 29, 2007 at 08:15 PM (#2423050)

And Lowell sucks again.

70. Elevate Phil Coorey Later Posted: June 29, 2007 at 08:16 PM (#2423052)

Lowells a ####### corpse

71. Biff, Red Sox Jinx Posted: June 29, 2007 at 08:16 PM (#2423053)

We'll take it.

72. Chip Posted: June 29, 2007 at 08:16 PM (#2423055)

Way to go, Wily Mo.

73. Elevate Phil Coorey Later Posted: June 29, 2007 at 08:17 PM (#2423057)

Why did Young not throw???

74. Biff, Red Sox Jinx Posted: June 29, 2007 at 08:17 PM (#2423058)

...And Cora sucks again.

75. Elevate Phil Coorey Later Posted: June 29, 2007 at 08:18 PM (#2423060)

Cora is ####### hopeless. The useless #### couldn't even clear the pitchers spot.

76. Chip Posted: June 29, 2007 at 08:20 PM (#2423065)

Oh jesus christ. Another absolutely godawful AB from Cora. And he had a 1.000+ OPS against Wright in 25 career PAs coming into this game.

77. Elevate Phil Coorey Later Posted: June 29, 2007 at 08:22 PM (#2423073)

Would it have hurt Cora to take a few more pitches??

78. Chip Posted: June 29, 2007 at 08:23 PM (#2423074)

Ron Washington is an idiot.

79. Elevate Phil Coorey Later Posted: June 29, 2007 at 08:23 PM (#2423075)

Thanks for the free out.

80. tfbg9 Posted: June 29, 2007 at 08:25 PM (#2423078)

I hate watching Wakefield pitch.

81. Elevate Phil Coorey Later Posted: June 29, 2007 at 08:26 PM (#2423084)

I hate watching Wakefield pitch.

My wife hates watching baseball with me. I am going berserk right now.

82. Elevate Phil Coorey Later Posted: June 29, 2007 at 08:28 PM (#2423088)

1 run ain't to bad, that free out helped to no end

83. Elevate Phil Coorey Later Posted: June 29, 2007 at 08:30 PM (#2423093)

Once again, I seem to have forgotten to vote for the All Star Game....damn.

84. Elevate Phil Coorey Later Posted: June 29, 2007 at 08:32 PM (#2423097)

Useless sad sack of shite

85. Chip Posted: June 29, 2007 at 08:33 PM (#2423099)

Hey look, someone finally worked a walk off the guy who's been nothing but a BB machine in his career! In the 5th inning!

86. Elevate Phil Coorey Later Posted: June 29, 2007 at 08:34 PM (#2423103)

Great....

Remy is gonna talk about this fukking show for 20 minutes

87. Chip Posted: June 29, 2007 at 08:36 PM (#2423109)

Save the shtick for the 10-1 games, guys.

88. Elevate Phil Coorey Later Posted: June 29, 2007 at 08:37 PM (#2423111)

Save the shtick for the 10-1 games, guys.

It's either becoming a joke, or we are too highly strung...

89. Elevate Phil Coorey Later Posted: June 29, 2007 at 08:37 PM (#2423112)

Some of the at bats vs. this clown are hilarious

90. Chip Posted: June 29, 2007 at 08:38 PM (#2423114)

What was annoying was that they segued from the extended discussion about the Sox Appeal date to an extended gigglefest about the name of the guy who Youks passed for the errorless streak at 1B.

91. John DiFool2 Posted: June 29, 2007 at 08:42 PM (#2423120)

C'mon Manny make them pay.

92. Elevate Phil Coorey Later Posted: June 29, 2007 at 08:42 PM (#2423123)

It would be great if Manny could be Manny.

Then my wife will make it to tomorrow

93. Chip Posted: June 29, 2007 at 08:44 PM (#2423125)

Manny swings at ball 3.

94. Biff, Red Sox Jinx Posted: June 29, 2007 at 08:45 PM (#2423129)

That was ridiculously unlucky.

Wait, Youk scored first? Sweet!

95. John DiFool2 Posted: June 29, 2007 at 08:45 PM (#2423131)

Manny gets an RBI on a very strange play.

96. Elevate Phil Coorey Later Posted: June 29, 2007 at 08:45 PM (#2423132)

At least we got a run, that was a fukking fluke

97. John DiFool2 Posted: June 29, 2007 at 08:46 PM (#2423135)

That was a mental mistake by the 3B: always go to first with a guy on third & 2 outs, for exactly that reason. They teach that in Little League I believe.

98. Biff, Red Sox Jinx Posted: June 29, 2007 at 08:48 PM (#2423145)

That was a mental mistake by the 3B: always go to first with a guy on third & 2 outs, for exactly that reason. They teach that in Little League I believe.

I know Manny's not the fastest guy, but I don't think he would have gotten him at first.

99. tfbg9 Posted: June 29, 2007 at 08:48 PM (#2423147)

More kooky fun with the knuckler!

100. Chip Posted: June 29, 2007 at 08:48 PM (#2423149)

Sosa has taken some embarrassingly bad swings at the knuckler. And then he stood like a statue in the box on the passed ball strike three.
