Where do I begin ?

WOW.

I cannot believe that Boston is 14.5 games up on those nasty ass MFY's ... I am LOVING it ...

Trot Nixon's return to Fenway - could you have asked for anything better than that ? A wonderul ovation for our dirt dog ... my DS wore his Nixon shirt on Monday and it was just coincidence ... but it did not go unnoticed ... we went out for an ice cream treat that night, and we saw some Sox fans - literally walked up to the DS and high fived him for his shirt ... it was cute ...

Speaking of the DS ~ he is leaving in 9 days for the summer ... he goes home to my mother's for 2 months and then to his Dad's ... he starts hockey camp in 2 weeks ... I miss him already - I get sad for the first week or so then I enjoy my summer ... I know he is having a great time with his grandparents and that's what makes it worth it. I would prefer him to be gone than be stuck at daycare all day ...

*sigh*

All in fun ...

So, I was looking at YouTube and noticed that one of my Wily Mo Pena video's got used in a heckling post at Home Run Derby ...

Let's Rebound !!!

OK ... so the F*&%^@G BS'ing MFY's won last nights game .... fine ... whatever ... We knew (but wished not)that they were going to take 1 of the 3 ... Move On ...

Let's step it up - and punish them ...

Let's HUMILIATE them in their own house ...

OK ... moving on ...

MFY's have tension with Clemens ...

Can't say I blame ol' Kyle Farnsworth for his opinion regarding Clemens's "family clause" ...

OOOHHHH ... A funny with Clemens & Farnsworth - click HERE

Loving my Red Sox right now ...

"The Red Sox (28-12) increased their lead in the AL East over the second-place New York Yankees to 9 1/2 games. The last time the Yankees were that far back was after games of Sept. 6, 1997."

Way To Go Hinske !!!!

"Mike Rabelo hit a fly ball that the wind carried away from Hinske. He dived parallel to the ground and held the ball despite hitting the warning track face first. He stayed down for a short time before trotting off the field to an ovation."

Complete and utter sadness for me - my Beckett is on the DL

RS / Tigers ...

I wanna hear some Tigers roaring ... roaring from pain by the Tigers from being crushed by the Red Sox ...

Thanks goodness for gameday ...

Let's Go Red Sox ! ClapClap !

~ ~ ~ Update ~ ~ ~

Nice win by the Red Sox today - Shout out to Paps !!!

Papelbon closes the game in the 9th - 13 pitches: 11 strikes, 2 balls !!!

I wuv him !!

Post Mother's Day ...

The ds surprised me for Mother's Day ... we usually go out to brunch, but he wanted to go to this Cajun restaurant for lunch on Sunday. It was kinda funny because he said he wanted to eat at 1:30 - he was adamant about the time ...

We arrived, and I groaned because there were tons of people there ... we walk in, and the DS says "reservation for 2 under DS" ... they seat us and the host guy dude walks away and comes back with an envelope - the DS and my mom were in cahoots and got a gift certificate for our lunch ...

Can you say "awwwwwwwwww ...." LOL !

My boys of summer are still doing great - they are 8.5 games up over the 2nd place MFY's ... 11 games up on Tampa Bay ... LOVIN IT !!!!

I kind of wish the BS'ing media would STOP asking Johnny questions that will lead to answers regarding the Red Sox ... it's done - it's over - finished - quit beating a dead horse !!! It's just starting to piss me off, and that says a lot since I don't get that way ... but ... FTLOG !!!!

I uploaded to YouTube !

On Sunday's game at the Dome with my Red Sox - there was this Twins guy in front of me - when WMP relieved Hinske, this guy went NUTS !!!

Apparently on Saturday he heckled the crap outta Willy Mo for 7 innings - he said at one point WMP turned around, with a ball in his hand, and well ... if looks could kill ...

so, I got some video of this guy - everytime he did this I would holla "I love you Willy Mo !"

Anyhow - here they are !

A promise well kept ...

A while back I had posted that Josh Beckett made me a promise (see said promise here )

well, boyfriend hasn't broken it yet ... 7 wins for Sir Josh ... WOW ... maybe my chance encounter with him is a little extra good luck ...

Pictures from Novy's Red Sox games in MN !

here are some random pics from both Saturday's and Sunday's games ...

2 of my FAVORITES - Beckett and Tito ...

Everyone is coming off the field and watching the Derby on the big screen - there were a lot of holla's - I am wondering if there were friendly wagers on the race ???

Here we have Hinske, Papi, and Lowell taking (finishing) batting practice !

Tek approached Tavarez on the mound ...

El Capitan ... aka TekMaster or Thighman to the Enclave ... taking his turn at the plate.

Schilling warming up before Sunday's (5/6/07) game ... he got a haircut ...

Okajima - aka Darkman via Peter - in the bullpen warming up ...

Pap's warming up in the pen during the 8th ...

Papelbon getting ready to close out the game on Sunday ...

Final pitch count for our Paps ...

Red Sox Weekend Update by Novy !

WOW. What a great baseball weekend – where do I start ?

Well, we arrived in Minneapolis on Friday night – did a little swimming with the DS and went to bed.

Saturday we got up, went swimming, and then got ready to go shopping …

We went downtown, and wouldn’t you know we were only a few blocks from the Red Sox hotel. There were SOME people waiting outside for hopes of an autograph, I just wanted to see them up close.

We went next door to an indoor shopping mall, and used the bathroom. I was waiting out in the hall, and I see this guy walking towards me … I took a deep breath and took the plunge.

Me: “Hi Josh.”
JB: “Hey, how you doing” and gives finger pistol wave, smiles, and winks.

HOLY CRAP – I got a little teary eyed, as one of my favorite RS boys just talked to me !!! Thanks for a great start to a great weekend Josh Beckett !

We went back and stood across the street from the RS hotel, the DS and I were both wearing RS t-shirts, and out walks Papelbon … he wouldn’t sign autographs, and was on the phone … he jumped in a cab, and they were in traffic right in front of us – I told the DS to wave at him, and JP waved back and gave him a thumbs up ! WOW ! Good fortune was with us …

We called our shuttle driver, and he was coming to pick us up … BUT – instead of pulling to the side where we were standing, he drove up to the RS hotel so we could get up close and personal !!!! I saw Hinske and yelled GOOD LUCK HINSKE, he smiled, waved, and said Thanks!

Somewhere in here - we rode the shuttle to the RS hotel AGAIN, and we were on there with Dustin Pedroia's mother-in-law - she was very friendly and nice to talk to ...

What a great afternoon … we got ready to go and then went to the Metrodome …

Our seats for Saturday’s game where right above the Red Sox dugout – we got there early enough for batting practice and I got some great pictures of everyone … we lost the game, but I still had a great time …

Sunday we got in early too, only we were 4th row off the field out between left & center … WAY DIFFERENT VIEW than the night before, but we were so close to the outfielders … it was really nice – Schilling was amazing … Okajima was great … and Papelbon … 1-2-3 !!!

And in conclusion, I would just like to say – “Superman, it was great meeting you.”

pictures to come later, they need to be resized ...

ROTFLMAO ! Betrayal of Tom Brady ...

Friggin hilarious ... seriously ... and shame on you Tom Brady for wearing the insignia of the damn MFY's !!!

Twin Cities or Bust !

Today is the day we leave for Minneapolis / St. Paul ... I have confirmed our hotel reservations and the Red Sox / Twins tickets are in my purse !

I am so excited ... 2 days of baseball heaven ... I just want to know who the hell is pitching on Saturday - it should be Tavarez, but I don't know if they will have someone else in there or not .... and Sunday I will see Schilling ! The DS will wear his Schilling jersey on Sunday !!

It's just a matter of hours now ...
