Cards/BoSox

by halfblindcubbiegirl on Jun 22, 2008 5:14 PM CDT

Extra innings. This game feels like it will never end. Chip Caray is very irritating. I need 75 words. And this isn't enough.

C'mon Boston, end this soon! C'mon Boston, end this soon! C'mon Boston, end this soon! C'mon Boston, end this soon! C'mon Boston, end this soon! C'mon Boston, end this soon! C'mon Boston, end this soon!

Only at 60. Maybe this will be better. Yay!

What a wasted opportunity for the BoSox last inning

"We must accept finite disappointment, but never lose infinite hope."

by californiachicagoan on Jun 22, 2008 5:17 PM CDT reply actions

izzy made some good pitches

the BoSox have missed a lot of opportunites. Lead off triple in the bot 9 comes to mind

by halfblindcubbiegirl on Jun 22, 2008 5:19 PM CDT up reply actions

So, I see Manny DH on the Replaced list.

I wonder if that means the BoSox will have to hit their pitcher?

both benches are empty

or close.

by halfblindcubbiegirl on Jun 22, 2008 5:19 PM CDT up reply actions

they're STILL PLAYING?

well, I don’t mind them blowing out their benches, but we don’t play them soon enough for it to matter…

Frak! Nice base running

by californiachicagoan on Jun 22, 2008 5:28 PM CDT reply actions

You are n 2nd with no one out

3 shots at a hit to win with the heart of the order coming up, and you get adventurous on the basepaths? Ugh. Thats like RJ getting caught stealing 3rd with 2 outs.

that ball was hit hard

that villone got his bare hand on it and it went right to the 2b is a near miracle.

by halfblindcubbiegirl on Jun 22, 2008 5:34 PM CDT up reply actions

Nvm, they still have Perez an Franklin

by Geo4MVP on Jun 22, 2008 5:36 PM CDT up reply actions

Perez pitched the 8th

by californiachicagoan on Jun 22, 2008 5:36 PM CDT up reply actions

i thought perez

pitched in the 8th

by halfblindcubbiegirl on Jun 22, 2008 5:36 PM CDT up reply actions

Yes, you are correct

Then Flores and Franklin

by Geo4MVP on Jun 22, 2008 5:38 PM CDT up reply actions

so how many arms they have left?

by halfblindcubbiegirl on Jun 22, 2008 5:39 PM CDT up reply actions

2 I think

3 with Miles included.

by Geo4MVP on Jun 22, 2008 5:39 PM CDT up reply actions

CBSsportsline has a Parisi listed as well

miller with anyone else

might be okay, but joe morgan is just so HORRIBLE i don’t get why they don’t get rid of him. the fans all hate him, why can’t they get a decent PBP guy??

Yeah, I want Reynolds back

He was my favorite Baseball analyst, but ESPN fired him for sexual harassment.

i liked reynolds too

i think he works for mlb.com now. they should repace morgan with kruck. i think he’s hilarious

by BradB311 on Jun 22, 2008 5:43 PM CDT up reply actions

so do i

he’s so funny. did you see the bit when he tried to hit the softball pitcher? I haven’t laughed that hard in a while

by halfblindcubbiegirl on Jun 22, 2008 5:44 PM CDT up reply actions

I agree

Reynolds really knows his game and whenever he is the PBP man for College baseball, I would watch the game no matter which team is playing.

by Geo4MVP on Jun 22, 2008 5:44 PM CDT up reply actions

Reynolds

was very knowledgable (spelling?). most former players are. exception…Joe Morgan

i have steel siding on my house and get ZERO
