Representing "The Nation"
 

I'm heart-broken right now... they just announced that Jerry Remy will take an extended leave of absence to recover from 'cancer' surgery.. He made a direct statement to RSN that this was a direct result of smoking so I'm guessing its lung cancer... The boards are jammed, can't even get on to get details... I'm bummed... But you can't ask for a better place to treat cancer than Boston... Prayers please...

Oh, they were "warming up" all-right ;) But hey, whatever works to beat the yanks 5 straight! Oh, and don't feel to bad for Angie..."peaking early" gives her plenty of time to finish her crossword puzzles or hit the yoga mat again before bed.

Good to see you Joanne :) Thanks!


OK......we are playing the Nationals, worst team in baseball tonight...guess WHO is gonna beat us and break the streak! It figures :) You can only win so many in a row...but...if we do win 2 more...we will play those giants...worse yet to lose to them!

Good! Laughing burns calories! :hug:

Jerry Remy does have lung cancer...so sad.

I got to 2 of the 3 yanks games last weekend here, and I have tix Friday night...YAY.

Tonight is looking a bit rough at the moment though.

Kansas City are looking really good this year. They have really good pitching.

Congratulations Dodgers
 

Hats off to Gary, Manny, and the Dodgers for setting a modern day record for
13 Consecutive
Start of Season
Home Wins

Gosh, no kidding Bill! They are on fire. Too bad they are in OUR division! Congrats Gary.

Well, we smoked the Giants last night. Oh... and son's team won their little league game. :)

Bad News
 

Gary - Tell me it's just an ugly rumor.

Manny suspended for 50 games for drugs according to Sports Illustrated - Not good.

http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/200...nny/index.html

WOW. That's big news.

Glad you whipped up on the giants! The most important game though was your son's!!!

Yes it does!

aaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgggggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhh

Yes it does stink...it is the continual stink on baseball. I am not happy about it...my son texted me the news...I texded back...Manny being Manny...we had talked about it before so I wasn't shocked...just PO for baseball...I am so tired of it.

Manny says he didn't know....his doctor gave him the drug..."fertilitydrug?"...Manny really wanted to be OCTOMANNY I guess...the bs just keeps getting deeper on these guys!

Amazing how all through-out sports it's the "doctor's" fault...

You know the saddest thing of all? When Manny comes back...all will be forgotten....if he does well....sometimes things are not fair in life.

Enjoy your games! Gonna miss him but heck....he wasn't here that long anyway....GO DODGERS!

My new Manny shirt...and that is ROIDERS...not as in my RAIDERS!....steroids...ya gotta love 'em...if you play baseball...NOT!! :mad:

Another "black eye" for baseball..
 

Well we scored 6 runs in the first inning...now we are down 8-6.....going to bed..it's ugly!

Yay for a 12 run inning
 

Yay Red Sox Nation for that 12 run bottom of the sixth against the Cleveland Indians. Just the uplift we needed.

And Gary, was hoping for a victory for you guys to help begin the healing process. Ooops. But LA is a resilient town; there will be life during Manny's time out.

I was so bummed to hear about Manny, I loved him when he was here. I feel bad for little kids who adore him.

I heard an interview with Jason Bay last night, poor guy is being flooded with questions about Manny and he has never even met him.

In better news GO SOX...great game last night, I'll be over there tonight provided the rain holds off.

How do we score 9 runs and lose?

Tough game, Gary. I actually was hoping you would win to help the Dodgers move on. But, you'll still do fine without him. This is when it is good to be in such a weak division!

We lost, too. Darn.

Those Nationals can be tricky.

We have 3 against Cincinnati, looks like 3 hard games. They have good pitching.

Rays back in town for 3 games... they're pesky... should be good games...

Have a good night everyone... :corn:

Taking on the giants tonight...just love to beat them w/wo MANNY

YAY...great game.

The people next to me left in the 7th, I will never understand leaving Fenway early??

Anyway it was fabulous, nice to see Varitek get a couple of hits. Overall great game.

Red Sox are Number One
 

Yep, I agree with you both, 'twas a nice win. That'll help me get past that place where I think the Red Sox are jinxed against the Devil Rays.

SweetCaroline - I like your "stunned."

redsoxgirl - Neat that you're at so many games.

Gary - Ouch for those pesky Giants, but you've still got the best record in the MLB.

Missing MANNY

At least my LAKERS got up 1

Talk in the Los Angels Times this morning is whether Manny should be with the team. He can practice with them but must be out of uniform at game time. He has not talked to the team yet. Some say it would be a good thing...to show he cares...others say it would be a circus...some players are already saying they are tired of talking about it.

Enjoy your games TEAM!

Got back in the win column over the giants!! Full 9 inning shut-out for our pitcher Stults....can't remember the last time that happened!

not a good one tonight... dh was hopeful though.

Aagh lost the first 2 with the Reds.

Let's hope we get a win today.

Have a great MOTHER'S DAY TEAM!

Thanks EZ! Maybe the Rockies could win one for the mom's!!

Yeah, that's it.

Phew got the win today, extra innings.

Ok, I have to pack up my negativity. Rockies beat the Marlins 3-2.
Nice to see all of the pink bats out there!!!

extra inning loss...bummer dude

Yay Papelbon
 

Ouch Gary to put in 13 good innings and take that hit.

We'll see your Angels on Tuesday for a series.

No doubt redsoxgirl is still at Fenway cheering Papelbon's neat three strike outs in the top of the ninth.

I won't know what to do with myself tonight... Sox are off..
Good luck with your games everyone...

To go from all 3 Boston teams playing at once last night to NOTHING tonight, it's going to be a boring night of television ;)

Not many games today. A much needed day off.
