alright 1st) magadon did the "you're fired" gesture from the trump. next...money maker and buisness partner. who does the hiring for FOX, because i think they've got some 'splaining to do.

Rojo Cohete

Thu, 25 Oct 2007 23:52:50 -0500

why would your #3 hitter, who is NOT going to steal, be leading off first so far when you've got the winning run at the plate and he's your #4 hitter?

and BC beat Va Tech in the last few seconds.

Victoria Welch

Night, Caroline!

was papelbon a circus monkey in a past life? wtf was that?

Em

Thu, 25 Oct 2007 23:44:36 -0500

'twinkle toes' papelbon?! he's officially lost it.

Rojo Cohete

Thu, 25 Oct 2007 23:44:10 -0500

tito is coaching like joe torre. riding his big horses hard, all the way to the finish line. very un-francona like.

ewbattey

Thu, 25 Oct 2007 23:41:58 -0500

hooray oki! you get a standing O from my desk!

Caroline Roberts

Thu, 25 Oct 2007 23:40:56 -0500

Okajima is THE MAN! Nighty-all--congrats Victoria on a scathingly brilliant live-blogging affair!

Victoria Welch

Thu, 25 Oct 2007 23:30:27 -0500

EM! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. You have earned the Wit Award of the Night.

Em

Thu, 25 Oct 2007 23:25:15 -0500

where'd the 4th boyz II men guy go? he's DH-ing for Colorado. heh.

Em

Thu, 25 Oct 2007 23:20:55 -0500

OMG this is painful

Caroline Roberts

Thu, 25 Oct 2007 23:20:13 -0500

Boyz II Men. Not bad. But a New Edition reunion would have been more appropriate. Too bad Bobby B. tends to get arrested every time he comes home.

MJG

Thu, 25 Oct 2007 23:19:19 -0500

Joe Buck just said ''White Sox'' during the Boston sports segment.

Rojo Cohete

Thu, 25 Oct 2007 23:15:57 -0500

less sweat talk, more victoria's bed talk

ewbattey

Thu, 25 Oct 2007 23:15:51 -0500

it's raining MAN under that helmut. halleluiah it's raining MAN. ...a-MAN. good god i'm tired.

Caroline Roberts

Thu, 25 Oct 2007 23:10:54 -0500

Thank you! He was lookin' drippier than that "Top Chef" contestant who kept sweating into his food!

Rojo Cohete

Thu, 25 Oct 2007 23:07:42 -0500

how gross is it that it's raining only inside Youk's helmet?

ewbattey

Thu, 25 Oct 2007 23:03:21 -0500

much like talk and FOX's commitment to un biased excellence, tacos are cheap. by the way, i just mentally refered to a stolen base as a taco. as in: I hope ellsburry gets another taco!...wait a tic...

rickbang

Thu, 25 Oct 2007 23:00:50 -0500

with seven layers if jacoby scores?

rickbang

Thu, 25 Oct 2007 22:59:40 -0500

can't they upgrade to a burrito?

ewbattey

Thu, 25 Oct 2007 22:57:45 -0500

that's the kind of man i want. "what!? you have an interest?!? shut yo mouth and get back to my kitchen!"

Em

Thu, 25 Oct 2007 22:54:34 -0500

i am guessing that guy who emailed in to WEEI is very, very single.

Victoria Welch

Thu, 25 Oct 2007 22:53:58 -0500

He said that he had his friends to talk to about sports. He didn't need women to try to talk about it or care about it. Fortunately, he had a girlfriend who knew enough to get by, would let him watch as many games as he wanted, but otherwise let him be. Seriously.

Caroline Roberts

Thu, 25 Oct 2007 22:51:41 -0500

Hated the idea of women into sports? Does this individual have a bat complex?

rickbang

Thu, 25 Oct 2007 22:51:18 -0500

even tom tancredo can't stop united states citizens from the commonwealth of puerto rico from playing awesome baseball!

ewbattey

Thu, 25 Oct 2007 22:48:41 -0500

oh schilly.

Rojo Cohete

Thu, 25 Oct 2007 22:46:30 -0500

for once, tito didn't wait too long with the hook. and great job schill. we tip our hats to YOU

Rojo Cohete

Thu, 25 Oct 2007 22:44:03 -0500

i'm surprised todd helton is dehydrated to the point where he turns to dust as often as he spits. i've never seen anyone spit that much. not even in the movie 'major league'

ewbattey

Thu, 25 Oct 2007 22:40:33 -0500

...are those aerodynamic cuts in the rockies helmuts? and yes i think royce has some kind of deal going with taco bell. he get's a free chalupa with every mention of him getting pumped about free tacos. yo no quiero taco bell.

Em

Thu, 25 Oct 2007 22:37:49 -0500

fox, you're shamleess.

Em

Thu, 25 Oct 2007 22:36:13 -0500

seriously, is taco bell paying royce to mention it EVERY TIME he's mic'd?

Caroline Roberts

Thu, 25 Oct 2007 22:34:53 -0500

Sucks to be that ump!

MJG

Thu, 25 Oct 2007 22:32:26 -0500

Lowell's father is a cuban exile; lowell was born in puerto rico. (don't tell tom tancredo) :)

Em

Thu, 25 Oct 2007 22:27:49 -0500

had to 'beg' his way into spring training?

KLeighC

Thu, 25 Oct 2007 22:25:56 -0500

Victoria and Caroline - Live blogging is a hit! Great job!

rickbang

Thu, 25 Oct 2007 22:25:08 -0500

according to a graphic i read today in the globe, mike lowell was born outside the united states... IN THE COMMONWEALTH OF PUERTO RICO.

Caroline Roberts

Thu, 25 Oct 2007 22:25:07 -0500

Bye-bye Affeldt--nice knowin' ya! Oh, dear. I remember Herges from the Giants. Good for the Sox, but not good for the Rockies.

Victoria Welch

Thu, 25 Oct 2007 22:23:52 -0500

HAHAHA - ewbattey! Love it.

ewbattey

Thu, 25 Oct 2007 22:21:25 -0500

i bet he writes this crap down and then waits for these 'golden opportunities' to prove just how creative he is. after all, he's not just a commentator...he's a FOX commentator.

MJG

Thu, 25 Oct 2007 22:21:04 -0500

manny knocking his helmet off on purpose. LOL. He also almost got picked off third.

Victoria Welch

Thu, 25 Oct 2007 22:19:32 -0500

Rojo - One can only hope.

Rojo Cohete

Thu, 25 Oct 2007 22:18:46 -0500

boy, somebody needs to sign up that guy that predicted the 5th inning...

Rojo Cohete

Thu, 25 Oct 2007 22:17:12 -0500

"He can strike like a cobra in a basket." don't cobras strike OUTSIDE of the basket? can McCarver stick his head in there and verify?

Rojo Cohete

Thu, 25 Oct 2007 22:15:41 -0500

ok, now mccarver is asking questions and then answering them himself. and he gets how many hundreds of thousands of dollars for sounding ass?

Rojo Cohete

Thu, 25 Oct 2007 22:13:27 -0500

come on... somebody make this guy pay. even if it's just for having the name ubaldo

ewbattey

Thu, 25 Oct 2007 22:09:13 -0500

alright, seriously. stop making mindless banter about sea level, the 'sexiest fan', randon catastrophes/dead people, and fast food items. this is not your living room where you're sitting with already a few beers in your system, aimlessly watching whatever is on TV. this is the world series. get your head in the game. 110% and all that.

Mac

Thu, 25 Oct 2007 22:00:05 -0500

Clint Hurdle has the manliest face I've ever seen. Hell, even his name says, "I'm manly." Channels Johnny Cash somehow.

Caroline Roberts

Thu, 25 Oct 2007 21:56:09 -0500

What is with the green dude who needs a bro? Yecch! Who let that commercial on the air?

Rojo Cohete

Thu, 25 Oct 2007 21:54:11 -0500

now it is CRITICAL that schill shuts them down this inning. 1-2-3 baby.

Em

Thu, 25 Oct 2007 21:53:56 -0500

i predict a mass outing form work tomorrow so everyone can go get their free taco and a hepatitis booster.

Rojo Cohete

Thu, 25 Oct 2007 21:52:13 -0500

enough with the tacos... don't mention it again and i'll buy you a taco victoria

Caroline Roberts

Thu, 25 Oct 2007 21:51:56 -0500

WHOO! Theo Epstein just let loose with on-camera cussin'. Nice to see a front-office person have some emotion. Look, they have to stop aiming at Red Sox heads. I predict a fight.

KLeighC

Thu, 25 Oct 2007 21:51:42 -0500

Tacos for America! barf.

djacobs

Thu, 25 Oct 2007 21:51:36 -0500

"If America's going to get that free taco, the time is now." Good call!

ewbattey

Thu, 25 Oct 2007 21:51:13 -0500

oh for the love of crap...

Rojo Cohete

Thu, 25 Oct 2007 21:50:56 -0500

i agree with Theo, "aww shit"

ewbattey

Thu, 25 Oct 2007 21:50:44 -0500

no more taco talk!

KLeighC

Thu, 25 Oct 2007 21:50:22 -0500

Oh the foul balls! It's painful.

Victoria Welch

Thu, 25 Oct 2007 21:49:13 -0500

Comments are finally cooperating! Hello, people!

MJG

Thu, 25 Oct 2007 21:47:03 -0500

Drew's leg looks ok. 'Tek delivers

Rojo Cohete

Thu, 25 Oct 2007 21:45:19 -0500

in a city that pulsates with emotion, the stoic jd drew just doesn't fit. i don't care if he starts hitting, i don't like him.

Em

Thu, 25 Oct 2007 21:45:19 -0500

tied!

KLeighC

Thu, 25 Oct 2007 21:44:18 -0500

MVP of the postseason.....J.D.Drew What?

Rojo Cohete

Thu, 25 Oct 2007 21:37:44 -0500

i know teams have multiple jerseys, i'm just amazed that they would chose to wear those weird, sleeveless ones. a-rod would never be welcome in b-town. i predict that we will get to ubaldo in the 5th or 6th inning. we've been getting closer and closer to score each inning.

MJG

Thu, 25 Oct 2007 21:34:08 -0500

I meant sacrilege...that name gets to me

Em

Thu, 25 Oct 2007 21:34:05 -0500

ok, 'short stroke for a big guy' is just dirty.

MJG

Thu, 25 Oct 2007 21:33:09 -0500

Even uttering A-Rod is sacilege. May he never play for our blessed Sox... All MLB can have a third jersey. The Sox have the red jerseys.

jnice

Thu, 25 Oct 2007 21:32:47 -0500

Ortiz won't come thru till the game's on the line. p.s. Jon Miller's our hometown dude here in SF. Love the voice - I just hope the sox fare better than the giants' last world series.

KLeighC

Thu, 25 Oct 2007 21:27:45 -0500

The Manny Delcarmen/Bullpen band is my favorite.

Caroline Roberts

Thu, 25 Oct 2007 21:24:48 -0500

Whoa, there! There's gonna be a fight if Ubaldo Ubaldo's anyone else!

Rojo Cohete

Thu, 25 Oct 2007 21:24:48 -0500

it's a little freaky how when the rockies manager chews gum, his hat moves

KLeighC

Thu, 25 Oct 2007 21:24:30 -0500

Pitchers LOVE hitting Youk. I think they're aiming for his beard-target

KLeighC

Thu, 25 Oct 2007 21:23:51 -0500

Ok, I love Lowell. Who doesn't...but A-Rod is a tasty piece of MLB meat...you have to admit it

Caroline Roberts

Thu, 25 Oct 2007 21:23:40 -0500

Oh, yeah, Dane was on the radio. He's everywhere!

MJG

Thu, 25 Oct 2007 21:23:32 -0500

the bare naked ladies comment, I believe, was a case of buck needling mccarver on his age.

Rojo Cohete

Thu, 25 Oct 2007 21:21:14 -0500

so the rockies have regular jerseys? that means they CHOSE to wear those cut-off sleeve ones last night? srsly..

Caroline Roberts

Thu, 25 Oct 2007 21:20:14 -0500

OK, Jon Miller justified his existence on my radio. Instead of just saying, "It's cold," he explained that a cold night favors a fastball pitcher. Hmm, true? no?

Caroline Roberts

Thu, 25 Oct 2007 21:18:36 -0500

Hey, RC, given that the Red Sox fans are looking for action, saying v-tek liked naked ladies would have made sense.

Caroline Roberts

Thu, 25 Oct 2007 21:16:42 -0500

OK, the commercials are kind of fun when you have them on mute and the radio commercials are running a few steps behind. BUT DANE COOK IS DOING HIS ACKTOBER THING ON THE RADIO! IT IS STILL GOING ON! At least I don't have to look at his hair.

Rojo Cohete

Thu, 25 Oct 2007 21:15:28 -0500

and did they need to clarify that bare naked ladies is a band? would it have been wrong to think v-tek likes naked ladies?

djacobs

Thu, 25 Oct 2007 21:11:55 -0500

The 3rd inning is "discuss family death and natural disaster" time. Do they do this in Football as well?

djacobs

Thu, 25 Oct 2007 21:09:18 -0500

I find the Vitamin Water commercials vaguely racist.

Rojo Cohete

Thu, 25 Oct 2007 21:07:19 -0500

we're getting ubaldo'ed

Caroline Roberts

Thu, 25 Oct 2007 21:06:24 -0500

Not sure how I like the "personality" info. Varitek a Dave Matthews Band fan?

Caroline Roberts

Thu, 25 Oct 2007 21:04:15 -0500

OK, we've found a solution to the Joe Buck Problem. We've turned on the radio to listen to Jon Miller instead. And it is so much more soothing ...
