In the grand tradition of the 2004 Red Sox VS. Yankees Game 7, myself and CryforHelp’s Bil bring you for your reading pleasure the blogging of Game 7 of the Red Sox Vs Cleveland behind the cut…
8:19pm - The powenap ends. The blogging begins! Bil has already started.
8:22pm - Completely awake now. 1.5 hours until Showtime’s Brotherhood Episode airs with myself as an extra.
8:23pm - Kevin Millar running down the line up, lovely.
8:27pm - Ah, Master Card. Remember the Leary Ad?
8:39pm - Dice K did a good job. Bottom of 1st men on 1st and 2nd.
8:42pm - Manny being Manny! 1-0. Red Sox!
8:46pm - Doh! All over. Good double play!
8:52pm - in Mark Lowell we trust. One out. Top of the 2nd.
8:55pm - As Bil notes, we’re lucky to have Lowell. If we don’t get him for next year, we’re humped. He is 3rd base, no question.
8:58pm - And, that double is why Vertik is the Cap’t. Players on 1st and 3rd due to Rookie Ellsbury.
9:03pm - 2-0. One hour until the Brotherhood Episode. Look for the Camera Man with the beard, that’s me.
9:08pm -Surprised no Celebrities in the crowd. No Affleck, probably due to the Gone Baby Gone press coverage.
9:17pm - Hmmm. Okigima already warming…? Strike Out for Dice K!
9:19pm - One must wonder: Red Sox World Series. Patriots Super Bowl. If this happens the Bruins aren’t gonna need that much luck and as for Celtics….they’d need a mircle.
9:22pm - Third Baseman Blake is just not having a good night at all. Youuuuk hits a double right down the line, Blake turns and pounds sand as it rolls all the way down to the end of the field.
9:24pm - Red Sox Bullpen Starters sound good as a Band. I’d buy an album. Aw, passing on Manny, ya got no balls, Westbrook.
9:27pm - Bil re: the last comment: “Looks like he’s got 4 balls!” 3-0 Red Sox now.
9:29pm - Some damn expensive lenses in that press row.
9:32pm - Kids singing Poison for 360, awesome. Bring on Mass Effect!
9:35pm - Big ole out for Dice K.
9:43pm - 3-1. In any other ball park it’d be a tie game.
9:46pm - Bot 4th, 3-1.
9:49pm - A quick flip to Dexter and looks sleeping with the enemy brings on a whole new meaning.
9:53pm - Brotherhood begins.
9:56pm - Runners on 1st and 3rd.
9:59pm - Lovely Double Play by Cleveland. Going to top of the 5th.
10:05pm - As Bil sez, don’t mess with Manny. Nice play at second.
10:09pm - The set up for the scene I’m in just played out.
10:11pm - 3-2 now.
10:14pm - There’s my scene in Brotherhood! I’m in the back row! Woo hoo!
10:22pm - Back to the Sox. Large Fathah batting!
10:30pm - Okigima now pitching for the top of the 6th.
10:37pm - An Ad for Airplane Tires still makes no sense to me during a Baseball Game.
10:49pm - Thanks for the error Lugo! Eeddiot…
10:51pm - As Bil and Basile’s as my witnesses, since I have mentioned the dreaded WS words, you all have my permission to blame me until the 2008 season if they lose.
10:54pm - Double Play! Bottom of the 7th we go!
10:59pm - Coco? Whose Coco? Ellsbury gives Blake the ball and he misses it. Ells gets a doubl.
11:00pm - It’s 11pm. Do you know where your bloggers are?
11:03pm - Pedroia hits a homer into the Monster Seats! 5-2.
11:10pm - Time to bring in Papelbon. Oki did some good work, here comes Papel.
11:17pm - Crowd is a chantin’. Papel has 1k so far. 2 outs, top of the 8th. 98 mph. Swish!
11:18pm - Everyone on their feet. Ellsbury ends the inning!
11:25pm - Whichever team wins this: Switch over to QVC and see how fast the programming changes to showcase that team winning all this.
11:26pm - Crowd chanting MPV for Lowell. Whole heartily agree.
11:30pm - 6-2! GD Drew hits and Lowell scores!
11:36pm - Weirdest game ever. Nothing beats 2004 though. Nothing beats the Riot Police down both base lines.
11:43pm - Oh sure, I go and make lunch for tomorrow and now it’s 9-2. Muhahahahaha!
11:46pm - Nice Sign: There’s no crying towels in Boston.
11:47pm - Youuuuuuk! 11-2!
11:49pm - 3 Outs to go. Nan nan na na na na hey hey hey hey good bye now!11:53pm - And Coco is in Center and Ellsbury is shifted over. Why does this remind me of Pedro in 2004?
11:55pm - 2 outs to go. Large Fathah is already ready for the champangna.
11:56pm - 1 out to go.
11:57pm - Zero outs. Thank you Coco, I take it all back. Red Sox going to World Series!
12:01am - I’m out, cyas on Wends for Game 1.
