"'Seriously, the Red Sox are like, the universal language of the people,' says Sarah, who came to Monday's game from Spokane with her friends Christina and Jodi - all transplants from Connecticut. `You want to root for them - especially here in Seattle, because the Mariners suck.'

Have a nice drive, ladies.

I hope she decides that the Mariners are now

winners, and that she needs to see more of their games this weekend. I want to run into her at Safeco this Friday and kick her in her box. And push her down the stairs.

Can we finally get too the

dreaded double digit above .500 plateau? I can't wait to find out.

Huh?

Because of my power situation, I only got to watch the last few innings (from a friend's house, no less).

You see Davis in the 10th?

He was horrible! It took some terrific fielding to get out of it.

I just now noticed

they gave Jason Davis Moyer's old number.

I would have thought it would take a player with a bit more talent to wear that so soon.

by Happybelly on Jun 27, 2007 8:57 PM PDT reply actions 0 recs

I don't know if I'd use the word talent

Davis has some talent. He can throw fairly hard.

I don't know how much pure talent Moyer actually has. I like to think Moyer is evidence that people of average talent and extraordinary makeup can excel at baseball.

I hope Sarah was at all 3 games

and that she was crushed and devastated after all games.

I hope she's crying, because the one time she got she her "beloved" Sox play this year, they all lost all 3 times!!

Oh and Pineiro still sucks.

They'll be back in August.

Let's make it 11.

11, would be so sweet

the only thing missing from the domination is a Papelbon blown save. I'll look forward to seeing that in August.

Wow, I'm getting cocky.

Sarah, Christina and Jodi

Spokane white trash who believe that a pink sox hat classes em up one day a year. You are not fooling anyone ladies. And give Adam Morrison's illegitimate children a big hug for me.

How about leave we Spokane and Morrison out of this. The poeple are transplants from Connecticut.

Get my fries order right next time Sarah.

We do have a lot of white trash here. There is no defense for the truth.

Seconded about the Wilbur article

being a great read. I remember being on vacation in Cape Cod with my family in the mid-90s and being able to go up to Fenway on a whim with my dad to catch a ballgame. Last year a friend of mine had to wakeup at 6a the day the tickets went on sale to wait in a cyber line for seats.

And speaking of Cape Cod, if you ever find yourself up there in the summer, do yourself a favor and checkout the Summer League. It's about as pure a game as you can find.

OHHH PRINCE

Did anyone see Prince Fielder's flying headfirst slide into 2nd today against the Astros. How does Mark Loretta still have his left leg?

by Gomez on Jun 27, 2007 9:29 PM PDT reply actions 0 recs

Just saw it...

I'm sure Loretta's got a second knee in there now. That Prince Fielder's a massive guy - the way he went in there was hilarious.

I wish this event were tonight. When is it? February. Then why are you wearing a tux? It's after 6 - what am I, a Farmer?

Jose's reaction to Yuni charging him after the walkoff double was priceless. "AAAH DON'T KILL ME!"

I kinda feel bad for the old Sawx fans actually...

I mean, that 2004 series really was for THEM. And I gotta believe all this RSN crap in visiting stadiums devalues it a little bit for the ones who really suffered.

Yep. Like the article said. It all of those Sox

fans were legit, I wouldn't have much of a problem with it. Because hey, good for them for showing that much loyalty for their team. But 90% of those fans are bandwagon fans who don't know anything about the team.
