The Rivalry Renewed

I just tuned into the game...love these nationally televised games! This series just got a lot more interesting. Haven't all of the Red Sox wins against the Yanks been come-from-behind victories?

So, it's the bottom of the 5th and the Yankees are up 4-1. Normally, I might be worried, but I notice that Wang has already pitched 95 pitches, meaning our boys will have a chance to knock around the bullpen very, very soon.

If I see sweaty, piggy Jason Giambi grab his crotch again I'm going to puke.

More later...

Hinske is a meathead

I have been trying like crazy to find a picture of Hinske's spectacular face-first catch last night but I can't!! Did everyone see it? Unbelievable.

Even more unbelievable - I walk into the office this morning and ask my friend Adam, "Did you catch Baseball Tonight? Did you see that face plant by Hinske?" and he was like, "Yeah, that probably didn't even hurt, the guy's such a meathead...you know I went to high school with him, right?" And I was like, "NO!!!!!!!!" So, yeah, my friend went to the same high school as Eric Hinske and reports that he was a three-sport star athlete and king of the school, and a total meathead. I can't believe he never told that he knows a Red Sox!

Wow.

Six runs in the bottom of the ninth?!?!



SO CUTE:

A New Little Feature

Because lately it feels like Janey and I are just posting for each other, I'm going to start a little tradition in which I highlight some key discussions we have regarding the Sox in our daily conversations while we "watch" the game online since she's at work and the games aren't generally shown here. I am only doing this so that later, we can go back and reminisce about the inane conversations we had while she was supposed to be working and I was ignoring report cards or lesson plans or some other equally mundane task.

Today's highlight:
QueenJaneHummer: Coco Crisp is so goofy
BetsLeigh82: HELLO!
BetsLeigh82: his name is COCO CRISP!

Thank you, that is all.

Ideas

I have all these ideas for posts. I'm afraid to write them down though, especially after the Janey-Papelbon-Stat Ruining Post. I still heart Papelbon though, and I'll eventually forgive Janey.

The other day I had this great post about how the Red Sox are in fir...no, don't want to go there.

And then today I was reading an article, and Francona made this innane comment about Beckett and about how his attitude is gre...I mean, I read nothing, know nothing, tonight's pitching will be great, and he'll get his next win. And I want you all to know that I absolutely did NOT go back and start comparing his last year's stats to this year's after reading the article.

Ugh...I guess we're back to the no posting since I can't talk about anything now that Janey has proven that jinxes are true.

Don't any of you Yankees writers (Cindy) have anything to say about Clemens coming back?
