While the Sox wait, Randy needs your help
A couple weeks back I received an e-mail about a scholarship for college students who blog. I was intrigued, so I kept an eye on it. I entered my information the day it was due and received a polite e-mail this morning:
I'm a top 20 finalist.
Now I really need your help. The reason I was selected is because Over The Monster is an amazing community-oriented website. You, the readers, drive this website. Not me, nor Allen. I need votes to win this thing though, and anyone can vote.
Please, if you enjoy this website (or me ;)), head over to the following website and give me a vote. No registration required or anything. Just click my name (do I need to repeat it? I will anyway: RANDY BOOTH) and help me out.
To vote, click this link or the following image:

Thank you!

(And, yes, Drugs, you will be awarded for your OTM winnings ... it just depends on how well I do ;))
Good Luck
I wish you the best of luck.
&& you had my vote.

Re: While the Sox wait, Randy needs your help
I think I can win if I can get just 5% of Red Sox Nation behind me :)
Re: While the Sox wait, Randy needs your help
I didn't realize you were still in school. (I feel old.) What are you studying?
Re: While the Sox wait, Randy needs your help
I'm actually the managing editor of the school paper, also, so I have a full plate when OTM, newspaper, work and classes are juggled. That's why Mr. Chace is the OTM MVP :)

First, RANDALL? RANDALL? I almost didn't recognize it.
Second, as of right now the SB Nation Giants blogger is winning :(
I bet he's juicing...

Also, as an aside, I did not vote for him, obviously, but I have a ton of respect for Grant and what he does over at McCovey. Definitely the non-OTM blog on SBN that I enjoy the most. Super hilarious.
Re: While the Sox wait, Randy needs your help
If you guys all promise to root for the Yankees tonight, I'll post over at PA recommending everybody vote for Randy.

Re: While the Sox wait, Randy needs your help
Also I think it's crap for Torre to get tossed. Can't think of a game where the MFY's lost and I thought "That was all Torre's fault."

???? What the hey? What is the point of this rule? Not that I care, frankly, I think that overall, Clemens has HURT the MFY since his return. He sure hasn't helped them. (barely able to contain my glee here)
But this rule ... you can play in the LCS, but you CAN play in the WS? Stupid rule, I think.

Nice job on this site, by the way, to you and Allen. I only recently found this site, and have enjoyed the commentary here.
Go Sox!
Jeez top of the 2nd
So Wang leaves after 1 inning, with a WHIP of 5.00 and an ERA of 15.88. Making Gagne look good.

And why is Roger "Who ate all the pies" (love that bit) Clemens allowed to sit in the dugout? He's bringing bad karma to the MFY. (So let him stay)!

Re: these TBS guys are a hoot
Good grief, if I were an Indians fan, I'd surely hit the MUTE button and listen to the radio broadcast. Trouble with doing that is, the radio is usually 1 pitch ahead of the TV.

Hypothetically, of course.
Working the pitch count.. UP..
Gee, that's funny - that's the reason they gave for NOT STARTING Mussina!
MFYs are full of it.
Pitch count going higher... higher...
LOL
BASED LOADED - hit that ball somewhere deep!
Are there ANY baseball fans in Arizona?
If you want to see a NLCS game and are willing to travel, you might consider a trip to Phoenix.
The Arizona Diamondbacks told 9NEWS on Monday there were 12,000 tickets left for each game on Thursday and Friday. Tickets start at $25 for outfield reserve and go up to $200 for a club house box.
There are also 15,000 seats left for a game 6 and 20,000 left for game 7.
Re: Are there ANY baseball fans in Arizona?
Imagine that - nearly 1/3 of their seats are available at this late date.
Pathetic.
Next Mound Conference:
"No, but the outfielders are."
5 pitch 5th for Byrd

By the way, in Colorado, they sing GBA, and then 'Take Me Out...'
It's a nice lift after "GBA".

TBS caray quote...
You know....
I officially excuse Tony Gwynn from this criticism, for three reasons:
a) He's a good guy.
b) He knows the game
c) He hasn't been able to get two words in between Caray and Brenly.

I am so happy the Yankees are gone. I love hearing "it's a miracle they made the playoffs" from Yankee fans about the team. Uh, no it isn't they were supposed to run away with the league.
Go Sox!! Good Night All! I'm going to watch postgame stuff...

Usually I'm an optimist
I think we have a good chance, but I see it going 7.
Re: Usually I'm an optimist
Re: Usually I'm an optimist
But I wholeheartedly agree about the pen. We should eat them alive.
I think the best reason for optimism is that Manny Ramirez is a bad man.
Re: Usually I'm an optimist
- Rafael Perez, 60 2/3 IP, 62 Ks, 0.923 WHIP
- Rafael Betancourt, 79 1/3 IP, 80 Ks, 0.756! WHIP
- Aaron Fultz, held LHHs to .191 BA, .291 OBP
- Jensen Lewis, 29 1/3 IP, 34 Ks, 1.227 WHIP
It's going to be some tremendous pitching on both sides, methinks.
Re: Usually I'm an optimist
Re: Usually I'm an optimist
So, unless the game is very tight, he's pretty good, yes? Now, if it's a 1-run game and he's asked to close, then I like the Sox' chances. ;^)

Re: All Yankee teasing aside
Re: All Yankee teasing aside
Think about that ... MFYs payroll for this season is FIFTY TWO MILLION more than the BoSox.
That $52MM is more than the entire salaries of FIVE teams in MLB, and almost equal to the entire team salary of the ...
... COLORADO ROCKIES, who ARE in the CS.
All a matter of perspective.
