And DS fans care about this because... :-
Oh, that's right - Barnabas supposedly travelled to 2003 and bought a Nomar T-shirt. ::)
Yeah, well, we'll let it slide this time - but only because you're probably bouncing off the walls with excitement. ;) ;D
-
Well, to be brutally candid, the words "How about them Sox?" is enough to put me into a stupor worthy of Laura Collins and a cheerful blaze. The eyes just glaze right over.
And I thought Nomar was a character from The Day the Earth Stood Still. As in Klaatu Nikto Nomar Barada?
but pay me no mind, I really live on Mars, the whole Boston thing is just a fiction...
Talking of news, the word from California is really quite frightening. I'm going to Canada on Friday and I really wish I did not have to come back.

Rumor has it that Gov. Schwarzenegger is Yankee bench coach (and former Red Sox manager) Don Zimmer's nephew!
In another six degrees of Dark Shadows separation, David Collins' favorite Red Sox player is said to be Sam "Mayday" Malone, former star reliever for the 1960s' Red Sox.
Good luck, Jennifer!!!

Cowboy Up!
I understand about the rivalry (geezus, I thought Dodgers vs. Giants was hateful!), and about the curse, but could one of you please explain "cowboy up" to this out-of-the-loop Westerner? [huhb]
-
Thanks for requesting the eclaircissement, Fran. I live in Boston (yeah, I have to keep up that fantasy) and everything Jennifer wrote is opaque to me.
I'd really rather wait on the clippers till after my trip to Canada, though. My boyfriend prefers me with long hair!

one of the players(Kevin Millar) said it when they clinched the wild card
after going down 0-2 to Oakland they all shaved their heads and
having been on a winning streak since There is now a Cowboy Up song.
the town is going wild (except for Steve but he already is wild >:D heehee)
Nomar(of the shirt) and Johnny Damon didn't cut their locks and Nomar has been in a slump and Damon was involved in the horrible collusion!
so forgive me MB (For OT)but i'm Cowboying Up tonight i started watching the Sox and DS same year(1966) so there is a connection!
jennifer

Jennifer, dear, you really don't want to know the things your posts do to my depraved little brain.
"Clinched the wild card" sounds an awful lot like "doing the wild thing" to this kid's ears. And you really don't want to know (or maybe you do) the image I get from those big men going down 0-2!!! (I guess it leaves 69 in the dust???)
Hope your team wins big hon,
Steve (the bus driver informed us last night as we were approaching Manchester NH that the Sox were losing 3 to 1, I think--he was listening in on his little radio, I guess)

Jennifer,
Only one more game to go. Hang in there!!!
And, Steve,
Wow, Ted Williams must be spinning in his grave!
Bob the Bartender, who recalls what comedian (and lifetime Yankee fan) Robert Klein once had to say about the late, great Babe Ruth (rumored to have contracted every social disease in the book): "Yeah, the Babe's 'predilections' give new meaning to that official, Major League Baseball slogan, 'Baseball fever, catch it!'"
-
Wow, Ted Williams must be spinning in his grave!
Don't you mean in his cryogenic canister? [wink2]
(Actually, references to Mr. Williams are quite appropriate to this current DS storyline. Not to get too graphic, but Mr. Williams' body had to be beheaded before the freezing process took place. The whole business is a fairly large scandal around here.)

Hmm, Ted Williams, Walt Disney, Judah Zachary, Michael Jackson (?). Who's next, Ben Stokes or Eric Lang?
When the renowned Tom Carvel (founder of the Carvel Ice Cream Company and creator of those delicious Carvel Ice Cream Cakes), passed away, David Letterman quipped that the priest at Mr. Carvel's funeral had to keep his eulogy of the famed ice cream man very brief. "You see, explained David Letterman, "they had to get the funeral service over in a hurry before Mr. Carvel's coffin started to melt right there in the main aisle of St. Patrick's Cathedral."
-
Wow Steve as i choke on my coffee with [lol2] you could become
a fan with a spin on the game i've never thought of before[lol2]
and Bob it would be so much fun for our Steve to be sitting
there as "color" man instead of Tim McCarver(duh) such fun
and i went to Game 4 and have haven't found my voice since!
hopefully they will bound and gag Bennifer so we don't have to listen to that dribble!
MB poor Ted and great job tieing in base ball and DS once again!
Thanks guys
jennifer
Cowboy UP(http://http:www.dsboards.com/images/cowboy.gif) and GO NOOOOOMAR!!!!!!!!!!

-
psst....Jennifer
Read today's calendar.
[size=10]GO SOX!!![/size]
And, for the record, I have always been a huge Yankee's fan; but, let's cheer for someone who hasn't made it in a long time.

Jennifer, thought of you this a.m. when the conductor emerged into the car at Harvard Square to make an official announcement about how the Sox need to "take down those Yankees" now. He rather endearingly added that he's been married for 30 years and his wife is ready to kick him out of the house, but he's gonna watch that game anyway. Even though this is Boston, Ice Queen Capital of the World, people were grinning and smiling at the old dear as he rambled on. His speech lasted at least 5 minutes.
I find it all quite confusing, since the paper headlines averred that if the team took yesterday's game, that would be it. Will it EVER be over?
Hoping for respite and nepenthe (but I'll take what I can get),
Steve PS. to the darling Mysterioso: I had no idea T Williams corpse had to be decapitated before they tossed him in the freezer. That's a rather gruesome detail! but then cryogenics is gruesome, though I don't see why people find it any more upsetting than "regular" embalming, which I personally find a revolting practice. natter natter (feel free to deep six this nonsense)

That's probably only because you try to divest yourself of the trappings of contemporary life (and I honestly mean that in a good way - some days I only wish I was so disciplined). There was a time when you couldn't pick up a local newspaper or watch the evening news on any of the Boston stations without reading/seeing/hearing about the Williams family's battle over his remains, all in gloriously gruesome detail. Consider yourself very lucky that you managed to avoid most of it.

True.

Jennifer,
What can I say, but that (soon-to-be-former Red Sox manager?) Grady Little left Pedro Martinez in there for much too long. (I suspect that Grady Little and current Met manager "Autopilot" Art Howe, were separated at birth, sort of like Danny DeVito and Gov. Arnold in "Twins.")
Well, as a long suffering Met fan, I echo the lament of the world's most famous amateur-saxophonist and say, "I feel your pain."
Bob the Bartender, President of the Mephistopheles Fan Club.

thanks Bob :'( :'( :'(
they do want Grady's head on a stick around here :my 6 year could have seen he was running out of gas! need to borrow Barnabas's I Ching Wands to go back to yesterday and have him and Jason G stuck in that traffic jam until 12 am!
jennifer
one good thing Bennifer were seen here at Fenway together WOW
I can survive now with that news!
-
Jennifer, honey, I'm so sorry! I'm ignorant of the details but heard the man in the laundromat complaining that the fabulous day (weatherwise) could have been better if the Sox had won.
My condolences, Steve
