8/28 vs Buck Naked Showalter

[Navafan29]

I'm thinking about going to the Sea Dogs on Friday, but I'm not sure if Buckwheat will be pitching in AA or AAA

[mvp 78]

The telethon gets old after 24 hours.

 

You realize that WEEI is doing the telethon too, right? And why do you hate kids with cancer?

Get to the park early. If he's not pitching in Portland, drive your ass down to Pawtucket as fast as humanly possible.

[Navafan29]

I don't mind the telethon. It's great.

I don't hate the kids. I get tiring of hearing the same ads saying to donate. I can't donate in my own name, so it depresses me.

Because they always get into places for free. I want to get into the Sox dugout!

[Emmz]

Fenway a couple of times

TD Garden multiple times

Portland Sea Dogs

Minor league hockey

 

Stadium food is a plus, I love that s***, but most of the time your seats suck and you don't know what to do with yourself during breaks since you can't change channels or anything.

 

Depends. Target Field has amazing food, but the MetroDome had terrible food.

 

Now there's Surly on tap everywhere (If I'm going to spend 7 or 8 dollars on a beer, might has well spend the extra dollar to get something that doesn't taste like piss) and this really good sausage stand that I always go to.

[Jacoby_Ellsbury]

Do they have scalpers at minor league parks?

TD Garden has this fried chicken, I swear to god they fry it in liquid cocaine. It's glorious. Extremely unhealthy, but glorious.

[VA Sox Fan]

Every time I listen to Downeaster Alexa, I get teary eyed. I don't know why. It's stupid to get mushy over a song, but goddamn do I feel bad for that poor fisherman.

 

Oh, and I'd have to say my personal favorite Joel song is "I Go To Extremes"

 

Haven't heard it. "Doo-op" Joel is good too IMO, For the Longest Time and Uptown Girl are fun songs. Miami 2017 rocks purely because its about NY getting torn apart and the Yankees being sold for free.

 

I Go To Extremes is the s***. Love that whole album. I'm such a fan, I like his "not go great songs" Miami 2017 is awesome in general and awesome in concert.

 

Love the Uptown Girl video, so gay but likeable. He did all of the background vocals in The Longest Time. Love my little Bill!! Have seen him concert about 8 times and with Elton John. Great stuff!

 

I like how many younger people like his music. Was always overwhelmed and psyched seeing so many young people at his shows!

[Thunder]

Rays game is free on MLB.TV tonight.

[VA Sox Fan]

I've donated to the Jimmy Fund before. One time I called in and got to speak with Orsillo.

[Emmz]

It's four years later and I still haven't gotten used to the Twins not being in the Metrodome. I turn on a game where somebody's in Minnesota and see Target Field and I'm like WTF. And then I remember.

 

Target Field is just so much better though. The only thing I really liked about the dome was the homefield advantage we had there. It's just so loud in there when there's a sellout crowd and everyone's going nuts.

[VA Sox Fan]

I still can't get used to skinny Lackey!

[Thunder]

I still can't get used to skinny Lackey!

 

I still can't get used to good Lackey.

[jung]

Hopefully Lackey can keep up this starting pitching streak the Sox have been on. Would be nice if the Sox could get him at least a few runs. Much less pressure playing from ahead than behind.

[Jacoby_Ellsbury]

The two are a cojoined memory for me. Something about home Twins uniforms and sunlight just does not compute.

 

Like if they yanked the Blue Jays out of that shitbox and put them on a real field, it'd probably take me half a decade to get used to it.

A theme for John Lackey's starts:

 

Mastodon-Workhorse

[VA Sox Fan]

Nice play by Drew. Just late.

[Emmz]

I still can't get used to good Lackey.

 

He's been good more often than not, bud.

[Thunder]

Chris Davis hits doubles? I thought he only hit HR.

[VA Sox Fan]

I still can't get used to good Lackey.

 

Yeah, that too!

 

Dammit 1-0 already.

Beautiful. Why not Creature Lives?

[Thunder]

Jones hit that to the right place.

[Brennan]

Maybe Lackey will get a little run support tonight? He's earned it.

Dave O said that the Sox have been shutout 5 times when he's on the mound, including last Friday.

[BigPapiEnFuego]

That also would of worked. It's just when I see John Lackey, I see horse

[jung]

Lousy way to give up a run. But I don't think that one run is going to be decisive in this game.

That crap needs to end TONIGHT!

Let's beat up this shitface Norris!
