Highlights from Game 4

I love my roommate. And even though we watched the game last night in separate apartments in separate towns, we talked on Instant Messenger throughout the course of the game. Some highlights:

sarah (9:00:56 PM): so ideally right now, bellhorn will walk
ChestRockwell45 (9:03:18 PM): ooh, strikeout
ChestRockwell45 (9:03:23 PM): didn't see that coming at all

sarah (10:23:52 PM): they're pulling lowe, why are they pulling lowe?
sarah (10:33:39 PM): is that grady little in a terry francona uniform?

ChestRockwell45 (11:01:45 PM): do you think they could fire francona in the middle of a game?

sarah (11:02:08 PM): ok, so now we are bringing in foulke
ChestRockwell45 (11:02:11 PM): foulke in the 7th?
sarah (11:02:12 PM): in the 7th
ChestRockwell45 (11:02:13 PM): is he fucking crazy
sarah (11:02:30 PM): it's a conspiracy i think
sarah (11:02:42 PM): the yankees pay people to manage the red sox

ChestRockwell45 (11:11:53 PM): and what happens if we do win tonight?
ChestRockwell45 (11:12:05 PM): and we have a small lead tomorrow night
ChestRockwell45 (11:12:22 PM): who is going to close the game after foulke pitches three goddamn innings tonight?
ChestRockwell45 (11:15:39 PM): he'll use wakefield
ChestRockwell45 (11:15:50 PM): which is ridiculous, but
sarah (11:15:58 PM): pretty much the only option
ChestRockwell45 (11:16:00 PM): right
ChestRockwell45 (11:16:05 PM): he's closed before
sarah (11:16:11 PM): in which case, we have no one to pitch game 6
ChestRockwell45 (11:16:16 PM): schilling
sarah (11:16:25 PM): it's all coming together
ChestRockwell45 (11:16:28 PM): you gotta figure, he'll get through two innings
ChestRockwell45 (11:16:33 PM): and then we can bring in mendoza and leskanic
sarah (11:16:38 PM): and then you start with the worst relievers
ChestRockwell45 (11:17:11 PM): i love how we're anticipating each others' punchlines
sarah (11:17:20 PM): it's kind of scary

sarah (11:19:51 PM): i think i need to start drinking
ChestRockwell45 (11:19:56 PM): you haven't yet?

ChestRockwell45 (11:27:02 PM): why do i feel like we're down by 5?
sarah (11:27:11 PM): cause rivera's warming up
ChestRockwell45 (11:27:15 PM): oh right

sarah (11:32:59 PM): i think what this series needs is a good brawl
sarah (11:33:08 PM): what do we have to lose, honestly?
ChestRockwell45 (11:33:33 PM): see what i would have done is bring in leskanic
ChestRockwell45 (11:33:37 PM): peg sheffield in the head
ChestRockwell45 (11:33:41 PM): and then bring in timlin
sarah (11:34:16 PM): maybe mendoza to take a out matsui in between
ChestRockwell45 (11:34:21 PM): that would be nice

ChestRockwell45 (12:03:18 AM): he pinch-ran roberts for millar
ChestRockwell45 (12:03:33 AM): why do i feel like varitek grabbed roberts and pushed him toward the field
ChestRockwell45 (12:03:45 AM): and francona was like "no, i don't know if i want to do that"
ChestRockwell45 (12:03:49 AM): and varitek pushed him out
sarah (12:04:09 AM): maybe varitek will gag francona and tie him up
sarah (12:04:12 AM): and take over the team

(Bill Mueller drives in the tying run)
ChestRockwell45 (12:05:44 AM): yes yes yesChestRockwell45 (12:05:53 AM): yesyesyesyseyesyeyseyesys
sarah (12:05:59 AM): aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
sarah (12:06:16 AM): bill mueller is fucking clutch!

(Pokey comes in to play second in the 10th)
ChestRockwell45 (12:19:47 AM): POKEY!!!
ChestRockwell45 (12:19:50 AM): thank god
sarah (12:19:52 AM): yessssss
sarah (12:20:27 AM): wait, was the good managing?
ChestRockwell45 (12:20:36 AM): haha he had to, he pinch-hit for bellhorn
ChestRockwell45 (12:20:54 AM): although he very well might have put in mirabelli at 2B
ChestRockwell45 (12:20:55 AM): or schilling
sarah (12:22:09 AM): mendoza?
ChestRockwell45 (12:22:33 AM): haha wakefield
ChestRockwell45 (12:22:43 AM): swing and a one-hopper to second
ChestRockwell45 (12:22:46 AM): wakefield, back in the hole
ChestRockwell45 (12:23:04 AM): knuckleball to mientkalphabet who scoops it out of the dirt for out number one

ChestRockwell45 (12:40:20 AM): they showed the bullpen
ChestRockwell45 (12:40:26 AM): i just threw up in my mouth
sarah (12:40:28 AM): myers and leskanic
sarah (12:41:54 AM): might as well be mirabelli and kapler
ChestRockwell45 (12:42:02 AM): i'd prefer mirabelli and kapler

sarah (12:44:00 AM): we are going to walk sheffield to get to matsui... who is batting like a thousand
ChestRockwell45 (12:44:13 AM): that's what mccarver is suggesting
ChestRockwell45 (12:44:20 AM): then again, mccarver wants the yankees to win
sarah (12:44:47 AM): in all fairness, so does francona

sarah (1:10:35 AM): i have to work in less than 7 hours
sarah (1:10:54 AM): they should cancel boston tomorrow

(Quantrill comes in to pitch the 12th)
ChestRockwell45 (1:20:55 AM): wait, who is this pitching?
sarah (1:21:05 AM): jeter
ChestRockwell45 (1:21:22 AM): haha i kind of thought he'd be more of a catcher

(Manny leads off with a walk)
sarah (1:19:28 AM): didnt we already see this inning?

(And finally...)
ChestRockwell45 (1:21:36 AM): YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
sarah (1:21:40 AM): oritz
sarah (1:21:48 AM): !!!!!!!!!!!
ChestRockwell45 (1:22:07 AM): ladies and gentlemen, we are still alive


So that was exhausting. And, at quarter to two in the morning, i went to bed and promptly slept through the alarm in the morning. Good times. C'mon Pedie, we need this one.

Oh, and apparently I'm in law school too. Maybe they'll cancel school until the playoffs are over...
