@Region Philbis,

Big Papi seems to be hitting again. This is a good thing. Very Happy

@Stormwatch,

a verra, verra good thing!
was lookin' forward to byrd's debut tonight -- looks like he got rained out...

@Region Philbis,

Yeah that was a bummer. I'm going to the game tomorrow. I haven't been to a game since last season, looking forward to seeing some of the newer players. Hoping for good weather!

dice-K continues to live a charmed life.
now 15-2, after a 5 inning, 6 hit, 2 run, 5 walk, 6 K tight-rope act.
for the year he has a 2.77 ERA.
like it or not, he's a legitimate cy young candidate...

injuries be damned, the rays keep winning.
their lead over us remains 4.5 games.
yankees are wallowing, 11 games back...

get well soon, yaz!

Interesting use of the word "mow" when discussing a flutterballer...

Have fun, and hey for Yaz.

@Region Philbis,

I see, saith the blind guy...

I had no idea he was the guy made those cool squares in the infield.

Hmmmm...

@Region Philbis,

more stellar pitching from the dice-dude (16-2, 2.82 ERA) --
8 big shut-out innings, 2 hits, 2 walks, 7 K's.

the whole team looked quicker tonight... home cookin'...

i think pedroia & youk have to be included in any AL MVP conversations.

ellsbury may be struggling with the bat, but the glove's been there all year.
crashing into fences, full extension layouts, and enough speed to stay on his feet when others would have to leave theirs...

@Stormwatch,

Thanks! We'll be in the outfield seats, first base side, might be under the overhang.

If we get on TV, we'll be sure to do something stupid.

@Stormwatch,

during a quiet in-game moment, we will start an extremely loud "A2k!" chant.
we will receive many a dirty look, but it will be worth it...

Pedroia is in The Zone right now.
he can do no wrong.
the chi sox have yet to get him out...

kid Bowden looked good last night, and was given more than enough run support.
newcomer Kotsay is fitting right in, hitting nothing but doubles...

@Region Philbis,

@Stormwatch,

tough loss today, but we still had a blast Drunk

we had our rally caps on for the bottom of the 9th.
the MVP chant for pedroia was deafening...

@Region Philbis,

I thought they might have had it in the bottom of the ninth, but it wasn't to be.

That was M V P that I was hearing? I thought I heard ....A 2 K...A 2 K...

Seriously though...he deserves it.

@Stormwatch,
