Gotta go now. Bell is about to ring.

Is anyone watching the game...
… as opposed to Gameday? The strike zone looks very short vertically. Is that an accurate depiction?
I mean, good for us at the moment, but still…
Rock me, sexy Jesus...

Walking Kottaras?
Didn’t Baker have like a great control and shit?
"Hey we got a lot in common here... I'm gonna rape you"
Green made up for the E with a HR
Id say the offense is on fire if Nick Green is hittin homeruns over the Green monster.
Someone think of a witty pun for this!
On Earth Day
Playing Green Day on his Walkman
uh..
Yeah, I got nothing (obviously)
Rock me, sexy Jesus...

Green goes Yard over Monster
Go Green. Go Earth Day. Love your Mother.
Yeah, weak…. unlike our start today
Gameday
…has video of the HR. It left the park OTM. Very Manny v. K-Rod-esque.

Sox off to a great start today!
I hope they give Tito a ‘W’ as a birthday present
"You know," Girardi said, shrugging his shoulders, "it didn't work."
( Joe Girardi on pitching to Manny Ramirez with first base open)
I wouldn't doubt it
He is gettin them today! Already 3.
Am I the only one who absolutely despises Hideki Matsui? I hate him with a passion, and its not just because he is a Yankee
I can't see it but it makes me happy
greedy ba$tards.
They cant blame this on the weather or a weekday – lotta empty seats since the place opened. That being said, I am going in June to check out the place.
"You know," Girardi said, shrugging his shoulders, "it didn't work."
( Joe Girardi on pitching to Manny Ramirez with first base open)
You should get one of those 2500 dollar seats
I heard that if you buy one, Hank will personally come out and thank you for wasting so much money to watch the Yankees get blown out by a double digit margin.
I wonder what the people felt like on Saturday, after they paid 2500 for a seat to watch the Yanks get rocked in only the second inning. Must have been the worst feeling ever.
Castiglione & Co are discussing the "thousands" of empty seats at Yankee Stadium
"You know," Girardi said, shrugging his shoulders, "it didn't work."
( Joe Girardi on pitching to Manny Ramirez with first base open)
I love Papi
“Tito is 50? I thought he was atleast 70 with all the complaining he does”
Hahaha. Even though he is slumping a bit, you could never hate his personality.
looks like a missed a good amount
looking pretty though
Homer: Kids, you tried your best and you failed miserably. The lesson is, never try.
am listening at work
two errors for Green? Is he pretending to be Lugo?
Lugo is rehabbing today – first game back – 3strikeouts…
"You know," Girardi said, shrugging his shoulders, "it didn't work."
( Joe Girardi on pitching to Manny Ramirez with first base open)
Me too.
But I’m on lunch break, so it’s hopefully less obnoxious.
Green’s definitely not pretending to be Lugo. He homered!

Green's on pace for 16 HR
and 64 Errors.

You're funny.
They’re an upgrade in that unlike Lugo’s 20, they won’t suck any momentum.

Well aslong as they cause some form of improvement
I am all for it!
His errors today weren’t game changers though. One was just wide of Youks glove with 2 outs in the 2nd, and the other was just him losing his concentration. Trying to make a DP after the ball deflected off Wakes glove. Nothing horrible, just lack of concentration.
Way to work out of the bases loaded Wake
Who needs a bullpen? Save it for when Penny implodes later.
In french
They call the Knuckleball: La balle Papillon!!
Papillon means butterfly
The only Red Sox fan in a country where nobody cares about basball!
homeruns continue to fly for the yankees, allready a total of 3 hit by both teams through 2 innings.
On gameday
They’re saying that Bay hates to face the curveball. IMO He hates to face the Slider!
The only Red Sox fan in a country where nobody cares about basball!
I remember in last year playoffs, Maddon
Kept facing him with Wheeler, just cause he throws sliders
The only Red Sox fan in a country where nobody cares about basball!
Fun's over.
Back to work I go.

don't go
fight the power! power to the people! don’t let the man hold ya down!

Good job out of wake
He’s at 85 pitches. Don’t think he has enough to go for the CG but then again, the Knuckler doesn’t require much. Anyone think he will go all the way two times in a row?
Loaded for Bayson
I’m in the mood for extremely stupid nicknames. :)
"Hey we got a lot in common here... I'm gonna rape you"
I want some puns
Jason “I am gonna smash this ball all the way down to the” Bay is gonna smash this ball all the way down to the Bay.
Dickey in with the bases jacked
My, I do love the way this is shaping up.

Eating Pizza and hopin' that they keep some runs for tonight

Hopefully they just call the game
10-1 with two in scoring position in the bottom of the 7th. I don’t want to see them try to start this game again in an hour or two then have to go to the Pen because of the delay. Lets just call it a game. Please?
yeah they probably will call it. Thats one way to rest the bullpen. And im doubting theyr going to get a game in tonight, which i think was the real purpose of the double header, to get at least one in.
Yeah I dont think so either
Forecast shows rain going into tomorrow morning, with the only chance of a break coming between 5-6 o clock. 1 game in, hopefully it’s called. Now lets go have a day off so we can smash the Yankees.
Whats up with the expensive seats at Yankees stadium
there were like 5 people sitting there in the beginning, and now there are like 10!
How dare they steal the 2500 dollar seats.
hi everyone
stupid classes making me miss the sox.

Game tied
Holiday with an RBI single, CC outing was great: 6 hits, 4 bb and a staggering 2 k in a 6 2/3 IP.
Keep it up CC: we love you when you pitch like that

Rain again?
Any word on the ground what’s going on? I’ve not plugged in yet to WRKO, but will do so shortly.
Stupid rain.

I recently read an article that stated that many can not understand a rain forecast

Something to look forward to, stuck in ERISA/govt benefits law.
I will use the comments from the thread for game insight once the game starts.
Go Sox!

Back just in time to see the Sox hit ...

Just so y'alls know
there IS a game thread for Game 2. It’s over here.

Thanks, I swear I was sitting in class wondering - where are the comments?
