Not fun, guys. Not fun.

I guess it's really good that I enjoy watching tennis, because today is turning out to be a generally rough baseball day.



I'm really lame, I know. But I had to do it.

I enjoy pitchers' duels - I don't always enjoy the corresponding stress, but I enjoy watching both teams' staff aces on the mound with their best stuff, both catchers formulating ( Read more... )

I agree with you, Steph. I was so excited about this game tonight, because I generally like Dan Haren. (I'll like him a little bit more after I get further removed from tonights game) And of course, there's Joshie. Love a classic pitching duel. It just breaks my heart when Josh has a dominant run (6 solid innings) and his control slips just a little bit. Then it all goes to shit and our bats just go.....pppffftthhhh.

It's generally depressing. But, we all go on to watch baseball another day. Let's just hope we don't string together lots of bad baseball days. :)

Yeah, the last two times I've caught the Sox on TV they've lost! I feel like I'm screwing them over by watching or something...

The ending was just bad luck, honestly. If Manny had hit that ball just a little differently, the whole thing would've been so much different...he just got unlucky on that one.

That video is adorable. I can totally see GP watching everything together. ...And doing everything together, really. ...And OK, I am a Golden Pair addict.

Awww, thanks - I felt lame making it, but it was fun at the same time! ...and being an addict is fun. I am currently addicted to Junta Takase and I enjoy it quite a bit.

But being lame can be very fun! And it wasn't very long, so you weren't very lame! ...I agree, it's fun. Especially when it's being addicted to Golden Pair and Junta and other cute, talented people.

Ooh, double yay! I feel better now! ...I am actually thinking of starting making plushies this week. I'm torn as to whether I want to make Tajima, Sakaeguchi or Junta first, though...grrr.

Being on the losing end of pitcher's duel sucks especially when you have your 1B out with a shiner. :( Sucky.

Oh and late last night I got into a convo w/ my buddy boston_princess about a Red Sox-ized version of "Kiss the Girl" which has Manny Del as Ariel(Because he's pretty) and good ol' Studlicious as Prince Eric(only because he looks like him)....oh and Papi was Sebastian because come on! Who else is cool enough to be Sebastian? No one that's who.

Yeah, I'm not liking the bruise on Youk's face, either. It's just...not pretty. And then Brandon had the fielding issue that led to the runs, so had Youk stayed in, maybe...eh, it's over now, anyway.

...That is brilliant. All of it. And Papi is the PERFECT Sebastian. I wouldn't have cast anyone else, either! He's just the best person for the role!

Oh and I totally forgot that Papelbon was Scuttle(who drunkenly comes on and warbles near the end). Only other person who comes close is Coco. But Papi is WAYY cooler.

...Papelbon added in just makes it even more perfect. I love this whole thing, really! ...Yeah, Papi's the coolest on the team, no doubt! He just HAS to have that role locked up!

Sorry for not getting back to this for such a long time! I must've somehow missed this comment or something...

I probably wouldn't be able to receive anything until I get back to school, actually...but thank you!
