It is Mummy time!!!
Thanx,

Damn, that was a disappointing K, most of all for Papi, I think - JW came in on him in good fashion, and his Green Monster cut missed by a bit. I just hope that that doesn't affect his other at-bats tonight, and I don't think that it will ...
I WANT MY MUMMY!!!!!!!!!
we are NOT wondering who is jake westbrook. we are wondering how long it will be until eric wedge walks to the mound to put him out of his misery.
Buck channeling Pedro?
"Who is Jake Westbrook?"
nah, jake is not in papi's head.
let him allow some damage first. a quick 3-run dong perhaps.
so wanna score first. come on come on come on!!
bad man hit ball
little man score run
tdcg got her wish!
FUCK YEAH!
BAAAAD.
We score first! Go, Manny.
thanks laura i know what you are talkin about. we are doing better.
now the sox are playing for our angel
Let's keep this train rollin' son!
tdcg got her wish!
yay!! ;D
so wanna score again! haha
MBM!!!
andy i'm sorry i couldn't contact you any other way. i can't express it here. my thoughts are with you.
i'm glad you're feeling well enough to be here on any level.
ok, back to the thread.
Dear Doctor,
I have a prescription I need filled.
Thanx,
RSN
Joy Nation
s1c you are awesome
Doc is up. Big eyebrows. Love Millar. 3-1. YES!!
Anyone know what they are chanting at Fenway? (Lowell AB) ?
Thx.
glad to see you back, andy. i hope everything is as well as it can be.
LOADED FOR YOU KNOW WHO.
A Drew-peat?
chief: "westbrook... westbrook..."
i think
Bases loaded!!!
Dear J.D.,
A repeat would be wonderful. A hard hit ball would also be accepted.
Thanx,
RSN
Joy Nation
Can Drew do it again? Even if not, I will take a hit. Or even a sac fly.
pitching coach visit #1 for the spiders.
COME ON JD "I LOVE YOU" DREW!!!
Oh snap! Doc gives the Rx to the Spiders. Fill the bottle Drew!
s1c! We need a Drew letter STAT!
Damn DP. I want last night's Drew.
got it, you can delete it if you want
That play at first looked close, but we wouldn't know b/c of lack of good angle and/or replay. Are replays dead these days!? Gotta get to the iPhone commercial, I guess.
Ow.
bah. slowed by the mound.
no worries.
1-0, dice will keep a dealin'.
oh shattt.
iz cool. c'mon eville dice, let's go 1-2-3 again man ;))
the night is young, that's not jd's last ab
shit. ok we got one.
dicek...throw up a zero
Are you kidding me, a smoker hits the mound and slows it just enough for a dp. Fragging Sox!
Good effort Drew, but remember...first pitch hacking is not encouraged. Your time will come again.
we are in the driver's seat
ok i'm going to say it
it feels inevitable
i can't help it, it does!!!!
Too bad that ended in a double play, but they got a HUGE run, and Westbrook had to throw a lot of pitches. 23 pitches, 14 strikes.
Plus, the Red Sox took a very good approach to him.
ish = correct
We got to them early again that is key. They are on the defensive.
yeah, *after* they choked away their lead in the series. they are up against it.
Delivery #4 accepted. I am so lucky!!!!
BTW - how to tell s1c is getting blotto
1) he seems incoherent (ed- when does he seem coherent?)
2) he loses count of deliveries.
3) sailor comes out and he starts cussing like said sailor.
Daisuke,
Please keep dealing!!
Thanx,
RSN
Joy Nation
Nice snag! Go, Doc!
Nice play by Browsie!
23
Got the Dropkick Murphys blasting now. Let's see how the Tribe deals with the Boston Irish, toughest motherfuckers in all of New England.
I love the dichotomy between the outlooks of l-girl and s1c ... one the optimistic, team-supporting 'cheerleader' (meant with the utmost respect), and the other the pessimistic (I might say realistic) Sox fan. I'm with you both :)
yes. 2 down.
22
the twin pillars of joy nation??? ;)
This kind of dealer always wins for the house. thank god this is Boston's house.
Two down. Or Five down, 22 to go.
Trying to be BOTH Allan and Laura. Big shoes to fill.

dice-k = awesome
back to the plate we go!
Joy Nation, like Red Sox Nation, is multi-pillared, with all walks of life coming to give their input and cheers to the Fens and the Sox.
yes, we're very multi culti around here :)
Dice-K has thrown 2 fewer pitches through TWO innings than Westbrook has thrown in just ONE.
21 pitches thru 2 for dice
i wonder if the captain has a little captain in him tonight?
(ok that was a bad contemporary reference)
but it would be nice!
beckett out in bullpen
Trying to be BOTH Allan and Laura. Big shoes to fill.
ha! i stopped counting. i'm so not superstitious.
THAT'S AMY'S MAN!!!!
So why is Beckett in the bullpen?
TEK! MY GUY LEADS ODD WITH 2B!
I wonder if the bullpen will let Beckett jam with them with the water bottles.
Vartiek doing the Monster Mash!
CAPTAIN --------- nearly over the wall -- double.
and that's my boy :)
LBJ, bring Tek home and jump on the place with him. Laura and I will be beyond ecstatic watching that man-hug.
beckett out in bullpen
hey that's cool with me.
plate, not place. Hard to type when excited.
My Sox playlist right now:
1. Dropkick Murphys - I'm Shipping Up to Boston
2. Crystal Method - Blowout (title says it all)
3. The Roots - Here I Come
4. Motorhead - Ace of Spades
5. Journey - Don't Stop Believing
6. Journey - Any Way You Want It
7. Crystal Method - She's My Pusher
8. Crystal Method - Badass
9. Oakenfold w/Ice Cube - Get 'em Up
10. Pearl Jam - Go
For Amy!
Gee, I really am typing poorly---that was LEAD OFF, not LEAD ODD.
Oh my God that pic is priceless.
laura I'd do him
Laura and I will be beyond ecstatic watching that man-hug.
:-P
Let's see how the Tribe deals with the Boston Irish, toughest motherfuckers in all of New England.
AMEN, says a (outside) Boston Irishman!
The Rooters gave the other team a dreadful fright
Boston's tenth man could not be wrong
Up from third base to Huntington
They'd sing another victory song
andy!!! well played
(and ME TOO)
like you all don't know that!
clev pen quiet.
6 hits for first 8 sox
Dear sLugo,
Remember your double last night!
Thanx,
RSN
Joy Nation
Wow, that is SO cute. Saved it right to my hard drive. Thanks, Allan!!
Come on, Slugo, slug it. Drive TEK and LBJ in. NOW. DO IT.
haha some women love their slashy man-hugs don't they? (i spose i do too tho;))
2-0 tho.
all good. 2 outs don't trouble me.
Well, at least we get a run. Another f-ing DP. But we are getting to Westbrook and we are ahead.
run in is all that matters
Trying to be BOTH Allan and Laura. Big shoes to fill.
He he ... well, I do wear size sixteens, but I would never try to do such a thing. I'll just shut up now :)
no fucking this or fucking that, it's 2-0 and westbrook is getting hit hard and dice-k is looking sharp as hell.
rah rah!
fuck! but got another run.
ok dicek...throw up another zero.
This game should be so far out of reach but two, yes two dp's so far in this game. Fragging Sox!
Dear Daisuke,
1-2-3 would be so, so nice right now. Deal baby, Deal!!!
Thanx,
RSN
Joy Nation
4. Motorhead - Ace of Spades
5. Journey - Don't Stop Believing
Hmmmmm ....
...
street light people whoaaaa oh whooaaaa .....
ha, l-girl i didnt see yr post!
i wanna see jocoby stealing!!!
i like the score
2-0 is great, but we have had good chances to totally run them ragged.
keep on ..
I hate these long commercial breaks. Do they seem longer tonight, or am I just more antsy?
Surprised Ellsbury didn't run there, but the Red Sox got another HUGE run.
2-0 is great, but we have had good chances to totally run them ragged.
i'm not bothered tho
Damn the double plays, but seriously dominant!
I'll stop by again in a while. What fun!
COOL !
We'll take 1 every inning. And Dice is looking good so far!
My wife jst relinquished th laptop, she could see it was KILLING me.
Evening. I've woken up to watch this.
We have a choice of feeds tonight. Fox on one channel, or the always marvellous O'Brien/Sutcliffe combo on the other.
Delivery #5 (i assume its five) accepted.
Dear BH,
I love you, but the second honeymoon was last weekend. This is game 7 of Red Sox ALCS.
Love you but please wait till later!!!
Thanx,
s1c
i think we are falling behind s1c's pace. yike.s
Good morning, Lord. When do you sleep?
diet coke, i started watching the vid, but i was laughing so much, i was missing too much of the game
fuck you grandpa
20
diet coke, i started watching the vid, but i was laughing so much, i was missing too much of the game
me too l. i was trying to find another one on their but i can't.
fucking love catherine tate.
whew, lost count but I think its 20!!!!
s1c, where the hell are these deliveries coming from? Where are you?
if i try to keep up with s1c, i'll be passed out by the 6th
I'm liking what I see so far. Let's get a run in every inning.
Amy, I am at home!!!
now if only b-fly was gone ;>)
Went to bed and got about 2 and a half hours. Should nab about 3 more after the game finishes.
Work is going to be tough today.
We missed some opportunities to kill this already?
Stop nibbling, Dice-K.
P4
19
THAT'S EIGHT
(i'll do the occasional count, how's that?)
someone hold up the sarcasm sign so i don't make a fool of myself
(for once)
there goes the no-hitter
but no problem
8 down, 19 to go. Get this Blake dude, Dice. One more strike, and we are a third of the way through. Shit, first hit, first baserunner. I don't like this Blake at all.
no problem -- a possible no hitter would kill us all.
2.2 perfect baby.
don't make a fool of myself
It is game 7 of the 2007 ALCS who the frag cares!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
damn, the no hitter is gone!!!!
tdcg, do they have bromwell high in the us? have you seen that show?
diceballa. :<(
AWESOME!
Dice is dealing, and the rolls are coming up aces so far
We are SO hitting Westbrook hard!
He is lucky to only be down 2. And he won't be in there for long, I promise.
Really hating Blake.
Lord, you are amazing. I could never do that.
s1c, I was picturing you, like the others, in a hotel room calling room service! LOL!
I hate the assumption that any base hit is going to get a runner on 2nd home.
God, my eyes are sore. Cool them Dice-K.
lg, no.
is it canadian?
ben, me too
"a base hit cuts the lead in half" - not necessarily. baseball is too unpredictable.
RING HIM UP!!! Goddamnit.
that ispart of the strike zone, you blind mfer.
it's brit and canadian. it's a cartoon series about a north london high school.
bromwell high
you would love it
Sit down, pretty boy!
Nice.
fuck you grady!
18 to go for 18
Apparently size(more) doesn't really matter!
Sit Down Grady
s1c, I was picturing you, like the others, in a hotel room calling room service! LOL!
Amy - advantages of working for the state, hotel rooms are at a minimum. However, I would really, really like this game to end before midnight since I have a 30 building apt complex to go through tomorrow.
not a 1-2-3 but it was clean!!!
Go Sox!!!!!
(officially reaching the blotto stage ;>) ).
That was a tough at-bat, regardless of the great outcome (which I'm pumped about, btw) ... he took Dice-K deep as hell into that count and did some mental damage, too, I think, what with the wasted pitch (on the time-out call), the call that he wanted but didn't get, and the overall number of pitches. Damnit. Oh well, he got the K.
First loud "Get In There" of the night.
The neighbours will be pleased.
And now, no Sizemore to lead off the next inning...
Nice K for Dice K.
i lit a fire in my fireplace before game 5 because it was cold. Now it was 80 outside today and it is warm in my house but i still lit the fire. So in my sweat box we are jumping around pumping fists bot style. Dice is my fucking hero.
dice at 44 thru 3.
yook
tiz
mummy
dr
for the sox
Our terrestrial channel feed keeps going on about Torre.
It's Fox for me.
good one sosock :)
he took Dice-K deep as hell into that count and did some mental damage, too, I think, what with the wasted pitch
will somebody please hold up that sarcasm sign????
Keep 'em coming.
kids are in bed (finally), so it's back the game.
:D
i am very sick of seeing tiger woods shaving
every baseball fan in canada must be sick of seeing tiger woods shaving

are you kidding?
Dear Youkilis,
Normally you need no letter, being the Greek god of ... yada, yada. However, it is time to point out that this is your time, your moment, your chance to become really, really, really special.
Thanx,
RSN
Joy Nation
"There are one, or more, Octobers!
YOOOOUUUUK!
Fox gets back right as the first pitch is thrown.
And a DOUBLE FOR YOOOOOUK!!!!
Right in front of Big Papi.
Yoooooooouuuuuuuuukkkkkkkk
yooooooook
westbrook -- just another ex-mfy that we pound like a fucking drum.
11 sox -- 7 hits
maybe the sox groudcrew broke the spiders bullpen phone.
YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOK!
Let's break this thing open. BATS PLEASE.
You wanna fuck with our pitcher Cleveland we'll return the favor tenfold!
dear fox
how hard is it TO SHOW EVERY FUCKING PITCH OF A FUCKING BASEBALL GAME????
no love,
joy nation
haha, lg check it
ok last link not related to the game, but it's the best one.
OK RUNS NOW.
RUNNNNNS!!!!!!!!!!!!
Youk needs to get home quickly. I need this over so I can be a functioning human being.
Lord hear my prayer. No not me, the real Lord!
Dear fox
Ditto from the blotto s1c
I love our drummers. Not warlike like that drum in Cleveland.
no beckett in the drum line. Starters not allowed on the flying dutchman
bring him home, being, you gangster you.
Ok, we are reaching new levels of BH awesomeness. Delivery # aw hell, who knows has now been accepted!!!
manny i require you to be bad.
oh shit. intentional.
Well, you show them no one walks Manny to get to you, Doc. Rub it in their faces.
do not diss the doctor.
bad medicine.
Ahhhhh intentional walk.
Don't anger the brows.
you rule for being here m'lord :))
tdcg, i've seen that one, i love it! very good for canada, too.
I DON'T KNOW, ASK ME IN ENGLISH :)
i just thought about how that drumming routine must sound to the cleveland bullpen. they share a roof right? even if they dont it must be intimidating
S1c, write a form letter for no DPs so we can just keep reposting it.
lowell needs to go all kervorkian on these losers.
those really are some kinda eyebrows the doc has there. he must fix them up or he'd be a total unibrow
3-0!!!
another inning, another run
Dear Doctor,
They dissed you. Make them Pay!!
Thanx,
RSN
Joy Nation
Enough to score a run. 3-0. :)
Sac Fly is OK. I need more.
1 run every inning so far. I like that!
so we win this 8-0, i presume.
I repeat:
Yooooooooooouuuuuuukkkkkkkkkkk......
Sac fly works for me :D
Ok a rare post from me; morning all...I'm English and start work in five hours...its going to be a long hard day tommorow!!
To hell with it! GO SOX!
DJ Werd. Your London fan base needs you.
Somehow Westbrook knew, just knew, that pitch was deep enough to plate the run. Thanks, McCarver.
We'll take 1 every inning :)
I DON'T KNOW, ASK ME IN ENGLISH :)
haha. best part.
i'll check out bromwell high too. british shows just pwn us all xo
That is not to say it would hurt my feelings to get MORE!
inevitable, i tells ya
Hey, Danndann, meet the Lord. A countryman of yours also staying up all night for the game.
