Thanks for that win today COLORADO D!!...it sure helps us especially since we are going up against Lincecum of the giants tonight...he kills us.

HI... had to pop in and say HI... stupid internet has been down since last week after some electrical worked fried the router, then another... what fun.. Loved the Weekend, not liking the last couple of games... I'll be back..

Won the series against the Braves. 3 good games, very close.

Glad you're back online - missed you when celebrating the sweep of the Yankees and redsoxgirl missing the steal home. Do you know why we're playing on a Thursday tonight, traveling to Florida, without a day off? Four games with the Devil Rays would normally strike fear in my heart, but I'm optimistic right now.

You got discouraged over last night's game too early. Yay for the 10th inning save.


Congrats Clydegirl - only the Cardinals have a better win/loss record than the Red Sox now.

Ouch Gary for that San Francisco thing.

sad-sad to lose 2 of 3 to anybody...but especially those giants....bring on the padres!

LOL... you are right Bill... that ended up to be a good game...
I was dying here this weekend, texting away.. of all times not to be able to come in here and celebrate... a game on Thursday is tough, especially with Yanks coming up Mon/Tues... I'm eager to see the new park..
I don't think they have a night off till May 11th...
I missed all of you.... have a great night... :corn:

We have 4 against the Nationals.

Won the first one tonight but what an ugly game.

Edited to say it was more scrappy than ugly.

DODGERS are hitting and fielding super tonight but starting pitching didn't get out of the 2nd inning! Up 4-3...I really love this team these youg guys have really come around the last 2 years...Martin ~ Kemp ~ Loney ~ Ethier ~ DeWitt and with Furcal and Hudson...and MANNY!!!....need a pitcher or 2...don't we all!

Well we now have MANNYWOOD....a section of left field seats has been declared MANNYWOOD by the DODGERS....has also said the stadium will get a new zip code in June...90090 to honor his #99....

I tell ya, I wasn't that happy when we got him, until I learned he was free for the year, but he has been amazing....the rest of the team has improved so much following him. MANNY is the best thing to happen for us since Orel Hershiser and Kirk Gibson!

By the way we won...increased lead to 3.5 games....and yes MANNY hit a home run!

:carrot: WE WIN!

Nail biter....1-0 bottom of the 9th walk with the count 3-2 to force in a bases loaded run.

RED SOX NATION...bummer :( looks like those rays are making a run...

Big Bird still :)

Colorado D it is OK by me to beat those giants...it is!

JEN the fish can't seem to win or move out of first...sweet for you!

Enjoy the games this week-end TEAM

Gary...that's great about Manny, {As Caroline crosses fingers behind her back}
well... until we face you in the WS..

Dodgers needing pitchers ? You can have Brad Penney...

We could use a spark this weekend...

Dropping 2 to the Rays is just ugly... last night not so bad, but Thursday was embarrassing... I wish they would can the cow bells... they :tape: annoy me...

I'm worried about our announcer Jerry Remy, he's missed another 2 games, missed a couple earlier, rumors are flying about serious lung disease...games are not the same...

I hope everyone has a 'MANNY' weekend... :corn:

Lost today :(

:carrot: WE have tied BIG BIRD for the best record in baseball :carrot:

A PERFECT RECORD AT HOME 9-0 :carrot:

Another 10th inning WIN

those padres are pesky....

resting some regulars today....but MANNY will play

A shout out to COLORADO D for her ROCKS win over the giants :carrot:

which increases our lead to 4.5 games :)

RED SOX NATION...time to get going again!

What a great Kentucky Derby....oh that Calvin :carrot:

I haven't been on much lately, but just catching up on the thread..

Clydegirl and EZ's teams are kicking some butt.

My guys on the other hand are quite the mess right now. Our starting pitching outside of Johan has been terrible (we might be shipping $36 mil man Oliver Perez down to the minors soon) and our best hitters aren't hitting...David Wright is at the top of the league in strikeouts and only has 10 RBI yeesh. NY fans are getting pretty testy...lots of booing :rolleyes:, its not pretty.

On the bright side nobody in the division is playing that spectacularly so the Mets aren't in too big of a hole right now.

Good to see you RAZZ :)

You all know I hate to brag :no: but today's win makes it 10 in a row at home.....:carrot:

It really makes me :( sad :( to win 4 straight from my :p son in law's :p padres.....

:lol::rofl::lol3:...I am so :(.....

liar...liar...liar....the guy is :carrot: happy

Another 'loss'... I hope the Sox turn things around in NY... can't tell myself its still April... lol
They keep giving our shortstop Lugo chance after chance to prove himself... He's not helping our cause....:p Urghhhhh..

Boy, what an exciting game for the Rockies... not. Extra innings, only to lose 1-0. Yawn!

OMG Rick Ankiel got hurt really bad tonight. He ran into the wall face first catching a ball. He was taken off the field on a stretcher. No word on his condition.

Here is the latest Clydegirl http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=4138797

Thanks Gary.

That's scary seeing something like that. He initially lost consciousness but was alert when he left the ballfield.

They're saying that it was a whiplash injury.

HOME SWEET HOME!

Well my DODGERS set the National League record for the most wins in a row to start the season at home...yesterday's win makes it 11-0 :carrot: Also giving them the best record in baseball, thanks to Big Bird's loss....(:( sorry kid)....but :) happy for me ;)

Feeling :dance: groovy right now...but I also know those snakes started out 20-8 last year only to lose to us in the end....it's a long season.

MANNY :) MAGIC sure has been fun.

Nice win for you last night COLORADO D!....just when those pesky padres thought they had it....slam!!

I was watching that game...I yelled so much my wife thought the LAKERS had finally done something good...nope :mad:

Late win NATION...who stayed up?

I just watched the Ankiel's "face plant" on espn BIG BIRD...:stars: ouch :stars:

Reports are he is fine...but obviously shaken up. Could have been much uglier...good thing he got his hands on the wall first!

Gotta love a grand slam from Iannetta. Good win for us! (Thanks for the cheers, EZ!)

I was a little shocked at the Lakers! I'm sure they'll come through. I really want to see the Nuggets play the Lakers. (and hopefully beat them...)

Sorry, not a basketball thread....

Clydegirl... thank goodness he'll be ok... there is nothing worse than that gasp of silence and dread in the park when someone gets hurt and worse to see the ambulance put in...

Red Sox Win... I stayed up ... and felt like I 'played' that game this morning trying to get up for work. I've got to go check the weather ?? rain again tonight... another delay...

Gary you guys are on a roll..... its so much fun... keep up the streak... we'll see you in October...
BILL.... PEAR.... REDSOXGIRL... Where's the rest of the Nation ??

Um Caroline you might see us in October :D after we play the Dodgers.

Big Bird is so mean :devil:

Clydegirl for tea, then.

Look forward to meeting you in October then, Clydegirl. SweetCaroline and I already have reservations for pre-game tea at the Ritz Carleton (made when the presumption was that Gary would be coming to Boston, LOL).

It's a date.

Did anyone else notice who has the best record in baseball besides me?

dissed.....

I am here, I am here...

I saw those empty seats... and imagine that price. Uh-Ah! I'll stay to my home field at that price.

Can I join in this Tea Party?

You are absolutely right Clydegirl... the season is shaping up nicely isn't it...

Good idea Bill... make the reservations early...

We are in NY again tonight... in the 9th and winning 6-3... been raining since 5th. Joba the punk... I mean Chamberlain, intentionally threw at Jason Bay tonight after Bay hit a 3 run homer. We have Dennis Eckersley in the booth, his opinion was that it was intentional. I thought we were in for a brawl... but game too close to retaliate... I'm sorry... but that kid just rubs me the wrong way... Torre wouldn't have put up with this stuff...

Yes Gary... but I hope you guys aren't 'peaking' too early... we are in a nice comfy #2 spot, no pressure :D ....

What a game, huh. Atleast I am at home on my warm comfy couch... unlike the cold chilly weather outdoors.

Yay Red Sox
 

Beat the NY Yankees twice in their big new balllpark.


Sweet Caroline
Bom ... Bom ... Bom

Yep...Angie says that's always been my problem...peaking too early ;)

:carrot: WE WIN AT HOME AGAIN! :carrot:


tying the all-time record of straight wins out of the gate at home with the 1911 Tigers...oh yeah!

Gary you have Weaver pitching there, an ex Cardinal. They should have re-signed him here.

Lost 2 to the Phillies grr. Now 2 against Pittsburgh. A thorn in our side recently.

Weaver is an ex-DODGER too...and Mariner...and Angel...and Yankee....and Tiger...

I was not that thrilled to pick him back up to tell you the truth. He was a .500 pitcher when he was here for 2 years. He was brought up for long relief...which is OK...out of necessity he was made a starter...right now, with his last 2 outings....I am taking back my disgust for him ;)

RED SOX NATION ~

Here is a pick I saw this morning on one of my sites....Jason Bay and David Ortiz dancing ;)

10 innings and lose by 1 run. Darn. The Rockies have done this twice now. Maybe next time.

Poor Angie:rofl: ...

Gary... that pic is hysterical, please tell me they were 'warming up' in some fashion.. friends that have sat on the monster and lower bleaches got a kick out of outfield players warming up in some pretty funny positions with their butts to the seats.. :o

Cleveland tonight...

Good luck everyone ... :corn:
