Did Gary Thorne just say, "Paahk the Caaah." That's a little much...

Ugh! That reminds me of the summer I worked in Bar Harbor and tourists would come in talking about "BAAH HAABAAAH." Then somebody came in and opened a gift shop called the "BAA HAA BAA" shop. It had a little logo of a sheep. Last I was there, it still seemed to be open. I guess some people are so un-self conscious that they're willing to give people money to make fun of them.

I'm thinking of opening a shop called "I'm a bandwagon Red Sox fan"

Oh dear God. Olson throws it into right field trying to pick off Jacoby.

and as I'm typing Markakis can't even pick up the ball. Looks like it might be one of those nights...

[blueberryale77]

How does Ellsbury get credited with a steal for that? That's an error all the way! :angryfire:

Millar didn't exactly make an extraordinary effort to get to that throw. I'd like to hear JT81's take on that.

Now Drew gets a double on Markakis' bobble. Apparently the Boston official scorer is RShackleford. :laughlol:

Good one. Put it in Harborplace and you could make a killing... or maybe Angelos would let you put it right in the warehouse.

[blueberryale77]

OMG :cussing: Ramon Hernandez this is :cussing: ridiculous! :angryfire:

[OrioleParkatWrigley]

And now a WP by Olson. He really isn't focusing for some reason.

edit: Though I agree Hernandez should've stopped that.

[HeatherC12]

I have a feeling this is going to be one of those nights where I don't want to watch Baseball Tonight later.

[Moose Milligan]

Good news is we have 9 innings to get 5 runs.

[itsernst]

Oh geez...not a good start.

[VivianDarkbloom]

Indeed. While not great for Olson's ERA, it will only make our eventual victory all that more delicious.

[Burg]

Hey look on the bright side.

At least Thorne got to get excited over Varitek's three run jack.
