I kept some random notes from last night's game. Check them out.

Its the pregame show and the analyst are pretty much sitting in the stands about 3 feet from 3rd base. Fenway is funny like that. I would loved to have been in the production room as FOX asked the Red Sox to put their pre-game show stage on the field somewhere.

Fox: “can we put the stage here?”
Red Sox: “no, really there’s no room anywhere”

FOX: “how about over here?”
Red Sox: “no, there’s no room”

FOX: “how about over there?”
Red Sox: “no, there’s no room”

FOX: “Yeah -- wow there really is no room on the infield.”
Red Sox: “Told you.”

Who is this curly haird Dan Shaughnessy wanna be pregame analyst again? Hey Dick – the Rockies are not the second coming of Jesus – keep your pants on. The Rockies were what one strike from not even making the playoffs? Granted what the rockies did was unbelievable – but the Red Sox are not underdogs here. It should be a good series.

And just so we clear, not picking against the home town team with the only reason of not getting your ass kicked in a bar later -- is not actually picking the home town team.

And the winner of the “What inning does McCarver contradict himself completely and make an ass out of himself” is, Rich with the first half inning.

I’m buying stock in some pharmaceutical company tomorrow, there are going to be 40,000 sick people tomorrow. Light drizzle and low 60’s at best all night for tonight? BTW: You paid how much for that cold?

Beckett whiff’s the side. If he keeps this up you gotta love our chances.

Wow its 2-0 sox -- I may not need the Rolaids tonight!
** Eric thinks to the end of the lineup with Drew and Lugo**
I wont put them away yet, Ill just move them to the side over here.

** Tivo pops up asking me to switch channels **
Sorry Bionic Woman, not tonight.

Lugo’s up, Rolaids in hand.. and there it is end of the inning ... figures, Lugo leaves more men on base than bastard children on welfare.

It’s the second inning and Beckett just let up his third double of the night .. I can just picture the conversation as the player walked to the batters box.

Beckett: “You can either hit a double double or strikeout, your pick”
Rockie Player: “Umm --- I think I’ll take the double”

I used to like Dane Cook. That ended about 3 weeks ago when “There’s only one October” commercials started running back to back..

Red sox just scored a Bazillion runs in the fifth, looks like an early night for me.

Beckett just 0wned the entire Rockies organization.

Gange is warming up, I have a sinking feeling there going to put him in – scenarios on how he can give up an 11 run home run are popping through my head.
