This morning I have decided the Herald and I have a love-hate relationship, but only for today. See, it has provided us with the news that Bobby Kielty has accepted his assignment to Pawtucket, but it also gave me this little nugget on its Clubhouse Insider blog:

If you missed the Japan games, be sure to keep a close eye on Oakland starters Joe ( Read more... )

Back in Pennsylvania. I won't have to do that crazy drive again until May 9th, when I go home for the summer. I've done it so many times in the past month that I'm starting to feel like Jed's dad. And no, not in a creepy way: Jed has some good stories about his father's legendary driving prowess, like the one when Dan drove 15 straight hours ( Read more... )

It was a quiet, uneventful off-day today. We did, however, get the news that Coco, Kielty and Schill are all going to Japan. No word yet on Lugo yet, though. I guess we'll see how that worked out when we get the final Japan roster tomorrow.

Nothing really new to report except for an article on Bryan "Colgate" Corey on MLB.com. He grew on me last ( Read more... )

Right, things were looking lovely until seven runs came in during the top of the ninth. As far as the pitching went on our side, it wasn't bad at first - Wake did a fine job. Actually, everybody did fine until Hunter Jones and Lee Gronkiewicz came in during the ninth. As I write this, I'm watching the bottom of the ninth, and since there's a ( Read more... )

Woohoo! My cosplay stuff arrived today! I'm just waiting on my wig now - once it arrives, I'll be able to Mihashify myself. Yay. (I look at this as almost cosplaying Clay Buchholz, which would be very fun to do - I'd need someone else to go with me as Jacoby, though.)

And since I mentioned Clay Buchholz and Jacoby Ellsbury, I should probably also ( Read more... )

Okay, now it's time for the coherent entry. Well, I'll try to be coherent, but we'll see how it goes.

Once again, I was with my group of Sox devotees in one of the nicer dorms on campus (I say this because I live in one of the notoriously bad ones...well, I wouldn't say it's the worst one, but...). We slowly gathered there - by the end of the game, ( Read more... )

Apparently, Jacoby Ellsbury will not be in the starting lineup tonight, but Bobby Kielty will. I miss Jacoby, but since Josh is pitching tonight it might not be so bad.

And then there was this, which totally made my day. There are a bunch of choice quotes in there from everyone's favorite rookie second baseman, so enjoy! (I actually laughed my ass ( Read more... )

Yaaaay, twenty wins for Mr. Beckett! That was what I needed to see! Now if only everyone else on the pitching staff could receive that kind of run support...Tonight, though, Josh didn't completely steal the show. Several people homered - oh, and Jacoby Ellsbury made a catch in the fifth that I'll be highlighting, as well. You need to see it to ( Read more... )
