While cursing Mother Nature for making me miss Monday's Opening Day at Fenway because of rain, I devised a second plan; not as good as the real thing, but under the circumstance the best I could come up with.I would Tivo the NESN broadcast of the game rescheduled for today, avoid the internet/score while at work, then come home and listen to the sweet sounds of Remy and DO calling the game.
I made it until 4:15 before I checked the score; in my defense my good friend hayes texted me when Pedie went yard in the first so I figured since I knew THAT I might as well keep up the best I could. After all, I had the fact I was going to hear Orsillo and his dulcet voice making the call waiting for me when I got home.
You can understand why I took Rakes plastic golf club and beat the laundry basket into submission when I discovered I had Tivo'd the game.
Only I Tivo'd the RAYS broadcast.
If you've ever heard Ken Harrelson call a White Sox game, imagine that. Only slightly worse.
This is reason 4,579 that I am an idiot.
I'm pleased to report The Commander was in fine form with 10 K's, 1 ER, and 3 instances of cursing a blue streak that would make the late George Carlin blush. Tek and The Munchkin hit a homah, Mikey Doubles banged one off the wall, and Papelbon struck out 2 of the 3 he faced in the ninth, pumped his fist like it was Game 7 of the WS, and the Sox won 5-3.
Oh yeah; Hey CC.
Say hello to a TRUE ace.

So my prediction of:
Tex said...
Rain clouds are luminous till Beckett steps on the mound. Beckett goes at least 7 innings, 6 K's, no walks, 1 earned run. We win 7-3
oh and at least 19 F-bombs...
wasnt too far off.
I liked his comment "I really did a good job today executing my pitches"
Ya THINK JOSH???
So how come you can produce a great blog and yet you can't set your Tivo properly??
I guess you should get Ciera to do it next time...
Off to figure out why my mlb.tv account didn't work for Tex.
I thought I'd check the account by watching the archive of the game.
Yes, the account works and, yes, I could select the NESN feed and, yes, there was no sound.
I knew that going in cos Lydia whinged about it at SG but did I remember? No.
Now who can spell dink?:)
Tex, you're a physic? But yeah, not far off.
John, I barely know how to run the Tivo, and when I get multiple options? Forget about it. Think I'll take your advice and get Ciera to do it next time.
Your suffering makes me laugh.
I listened to the stig on the way home and listened to DO and Remy as Pap came in in the ninth.
It was a fantastic day.
I hate you.
Remy and DO WILL be heard in my living room tonight. Day games are teh suck.
See I got to leave early because my great aunt is terminal with liver cancer and was having a bad day so I wanted to be home in case something happened.
As it so happened to work out I got to listen to the game on the hour+ ride back to the cape and got home before we were permitted to see her and caught the 9th.
Ill take a misguided tivo over my aunt having a stroke.
Rich, if you're lying I'm going to have JB hurt you.
Why would you make something up like that?
It's a pretty miserable situation to just make up. That sort of thing is beyond even me.
Im not a physic or a psychic either :)
I just know Beckett
Welcome to my personal hell, Ted. Every single time the Sox play the Rays. Home or away. I think I might actually miss Joe Magraine.
Now you're talking crazy, Dawn. That dude is HORRIBLE.
