Game time 7:10 PM

 

Logan Webb vs. Nate Eovaldi

 

I am sure that Carl Yaz will be on hand in the Legends Box to watch Mike.

 

My apologies for braking Game thread protocol. There goes our playoff chances.

Ah, wasn't initiating today's game thread my job? Well, now that the SOX are out of the PO's, thread etiquet, I guess, is no longer a big deal. Funny though, that you were the one who made the biggest deal about it when it wasn't followed.

I apologize for disregarding GT etiquette. I just wanted to memorialize in the Game Thread that Mike Yaz will be playing at Fenway.

I guess you missed the whole tongue in cheek aspect of that episode. It’s funny how people remember things.

No need to apologize. If there actually was any good MOJO based on this game thread etiquet, it failed miserably this season.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

I remember watching Carl as a rookie; now I'll be watching his grandson as a rookie. Damn, I am old.

Btw, it would be great if YAZ appeared in the announcer's booth for an inning tonight. I know he doesn't do that as a rule, but maybe tonight will be an exception.

Carl, Mike Yastrzemski reunite at Fenway Park

BOSTON -- Mike Yastrzemski stepped up to the plate at Fenway Park where his grandfather, Carl, had belted 237 homers over his 23-year historic career. Amid the loud ovations in the stands, a fan repeatedly yelled out to the Giants’ leadoff batter, “Hit a home run! Hit a home run!”

Game thread MOJO failed miserably this season because you guys have been screwing it up all season long.

 

Forget blaming Dombrowski, Cora, or even the pitchers for our lousy season. I blame the game threaders.

[Kimmi]

It will be fun to watch the young Yaz play at Fenway tonight.

It will be fun to watch the young Yaz play at Fenway tonight.

 

Should be a fun game!

[Thunder]

Damn, I was looking for the clip from Fever Pitch when Drew Barrymore mispronounces Yastrzemski but I couldn't find it.

 

What would it take to get Carl and Mike to throw out a first pitch?

[Kimmi]

Should be a fun game!

 

I am looking forward to Mike's first at bat.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

I don't know why Belt was guessing fastball.

[TylerD]

I am looking forward to Mike's first at bat.

 

Bad news Kimmi. I had mcdonalds. Days I have McDonald’s we seem to lose. I couldn’t help it. Was really craving a Big Mac.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

I highly doubt that Devers, X-man, and JD finish the season hitting over .300.

Beginning to worry that Nate thinks his recurring role for next year will be filling the Porcello slot in the rotation.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Fenway is just too big a ballpark for Beni to hit HR's in. Sad that he can't even reach the LF wall.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Filling or duplicating?

[Station 13]

Marco Meh Hernandez. Think this guy will start 2B? nauseating.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Explains all the time spent sitting on the toilet.

[Station 13]

6 replacement type bats in the lineup today. It's hard to imagine throwing s*** against a wall to see any of that crap sticks.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Marco Meh Hernandez. Think this guy will start 2B? nauseating.

 

If scientists can come up with a bionic leg, we may see Pedey next year.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Good news: EO throwing 99mph

Bad news: No idea where it's going.

[Station 13]

If scientists can come up with a bionic leg, we may see Pedey next year.

 

Tonya Harding clubbing business will be put out of business.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

The Giants have one of the weakest offensive line-ups in MLB.

[TylerD]

We are losing. The curse of the McDonald’s continues.

[TylerD]

Explains all the time spent sitting on the toilet.

 

Lmao yes true.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

We are losing. The curse of the McDonald’s continues.

 

The curse of the Fenway continues.

[Station 13]

Get out the taser.
