3/25 @ Oakland Athletics...in Japan

[ORS]

Hey, some offense. Have I mentioned that I love having XM at my desk at work?

[Youk Of The Nation]

Oh man, Embree.

[ORS]

Surprising move to turn VTek around. He's usually better RH.

[26 to 6]

Neither NESN nor ESPN2 are coming in right now on DirecTV for me, which kinda sucks.

[yeszir]

Glad to see that Embree's cheeks haven't gotten any smaller

Me neither, I just came down to the office to watch the game........and get some work done eventually! Got here just in time to see manram's AB

[DrewDaGreat]

why bring Snyder in?

 

 

 

Oh, there it goes....

[yankeessuck013]

god damnit

[riverside sluggers]

Well that was pretty fast for Snyder to give it up. I was surprised to see him come in with a slim lead

[ORS]

Meet the new Snyder, same as the old Snyder.

[mtbykr]

Snyder you assclown

[mtbykr]

Nothing like a fastball middle-in that was supposed to be outside......

[Youk Of The Nation]

Who the f*** is John Hannahan and why is he hitting home runs?

[DrewDaGreat]

Damnit.

[yeszir]

There's the Julio Lugo we know and love

[mtbykr]

Great, Lugo hasn't missed a beat since last year

[Youk Of The Nation]

Hello Foulke...wait, didnt he retire? What the f***?

[mtbykr]

Don't know if this has been asked already...but is the ad on the side of the batting helmet permanent or just temporary for Japan?

[riverside sluggers]

Its now up to Lowell, Moss, Varitek to win the game

[yeszir]

Playing Neil Diamond in Japan

Looks like it was a pretty big problem....non HD was out while HD worked. I have had Directv for 6 years and this is the first problem I have had.

 

 

DirecTV, out?

I've been getting emails from DirecTV customers, who've said that their packages (ESPN2 and NESN) are out. Not sure if this is affecting all customers, or just some, but apparently there are some very unhappy early risers.

 

Sorry about that. Wish I could do something from Tokyo, but the blog posts will have to do.

 

We're happy to have you with us. (And non-DirecTV customers as well.)

ELLSBURY IS A BALLER

 

And whatever pain he feels looks temporary, which is good

[mtbykr]

Nice catch by Ellsbury....and glad he's ok!

 

Edit: That catch was much more impressive when seeing it from the side view

I finally came out of the dark ages recently and bought a 32" LCD HD-TV. I can't wait to watch the Sox in HD.

 

Oh, and for those who haven't tried their products yet, I highly recommend the Logitech Harmony brand of universal remotes. The low end model costs about $100, but it's worth every penny. These connect to your computer via USB, and there are over 175k devices you can program into the remote from the database. The nice thing about the USB and database is that you can reprog your remote as new technology comes out. I have everything, TV, DVD, Digital Cable, and Surround Sound System all on one remote - and you can mix match activities. In other words, when watching cable, you can control the TV aspect, the cable box for channels and DVR, and volume with the stereo all under one setting without having to switch from device to device. This thing is aces.

Mossy.

[riverside sluggers]

Moss!! What a game for the kid

 

First career dinger for the kid, what a way to get it

[yankeessuck013]

MOSS!!

[mtbykr]
