Hey, I finally figured out how to put the lineups in the story.

Lineup

10/11/08 5:07 PM PDT

Boston Red Sox	Tampa Bay Rays
Jacoby Ellsbury - RF	Akinori Iwamura - 2B
Dustin Pedroia - 2B	B.J. Upton - CF
David Ortiz - DH	Carlos Pena - 1B
Kevin Youkilis - 3B	Evan Longoria - 3B
Jason Bay - LF	Carl Crawford - LF
Jed Lowrie - SS	Cliff Floyd - DH
Jason Varitek - C	Dioner Navarro - C
Mark Kotsay - 1B	Gabe Gross - RF
Coco Crisp - CF	Jason Bartlett - SS

Just for your reference, the losers are on the left and the winners are on the right.

Also, it's a little scary how quickly the commercials go from FloMax-Viagra-Sprint-John Hancock to "PediPaws."

Always a great, great night

when Boston loses.

I needed a team so I wouldn’t turn into one of the eighty million pink hat-wearing Bud Light-drinking mulleted idiots at Fenway.

+1

I fell asleep listening to the game, so I missed the actual scoring run…but did wake up to hear part of the postgame wrap.

Hard for me

my son, bless his heart, has started rooting for the Red Sox. Apparently this in not a heritable trait tho.

Well, this is unique.

Usually the lineups are in the first thread… but apparently we plebians don’t understand your masterful blogging technique.

Did Eck just say "earnies" instead of "earned runs"?

Because that’s slightly disturbing.

"fisted" "earnies"

Children, until we have taught them better, will be perfectly happy with a seasonal round of games in which conkers succeeds hopscotch.

Is that Bert's wet dream?

I like Cindi. A. She never pretends to know more than she does. B. She has unbridled enthusiasm for her "Hotties," and isn't afraid to show it. -IM4Oakgal

If I don't comment on your comment how will you know you are completely wrong? -Rocktopus

That was my punishment for leaving TBS on after the game.

My ears will never be the same.

What the hell WAS that?

I had left the TV on and was wandering around doing other things when they broke out into song.

WTF was going on?

You know that Bon Jovi song they keep playing over and over?

The one that says “I love this town…” The guys in the studio were a little tired, I think, because when the song started playing along with some highlights from the game, they all started singing along. Loudly. And badly.

So,,,, I go to the basketball game ( Warriors)

and the baseball game is on. So, I stay for the entire game, come out & fiind out I have a dead car battery, wait around for a jump, finally pull up in my driveway,,,, and the freaking game is still on?

By the way, who wants my ticket to the Warriors vs Lietuvos Rytas on Tuesday, 10/21/08.
I refuse to dignify that game with my presence. It’s a pre-season game and I’m giving the ticket away. Section 120 row 27 seat 18. (ONE ticket).

"We get two outs, and I was sure, and I had a plan, and I shook Tek off," Schilling said. "And I get a big 'What if?' for the rest of my life."
