April 9, home opener

[LogansDad]

FUCK

 

[The Gray Eagle]

Good news, everyone! All the runs the Orioles score this inning will be unearned!

 

[shawnrbu]

Johnny Damon has 8 kids!

7 of them throw better than he could.

 

[brandonchristensen]

Can't compete against someone like Kemp.

 

[Rovin Romine]

Well, people might chalk this up to the defense, but the last two hits weren't really fieldable.

 

[mauidano]

 

[Sox and Rocks]

Defense this inning is worse than my son's little league team.

Clownshow.

 

[brandonchristensen]

7 of them throw better than he could.

What's wrong with the other one?

 

[Ferm Sheller]

7 of them throw better than he could.

Because the 8th is in utero.

 

[strek1]

Good teams don't let you off the hook when you make mistakes.

 

[brandonchristensen]

Two hands butthole.

 

[Rovin Romine]

Defense this inning is worse than my son's little league team.

Clownshow.

Duran dropped a ball in the sun. It happens. Other than that, what do you want?

 

[Bergs]

Two hands butthole.

Prom night?

 

[DJnVa]

 

[RS2004foreever]

That was really just an awful play by Duran.
Man.
It cost Bello 14 pitches.

 

[Darnell's Son]

Duran dropped a ball in the sun. It happens. Other than that, what do you want?

Duran to not drop the ball

 

[canyoubelieveit]

Stay classy, JD.

 

[Rovin Romine]

Trot Nixon with the radio guys now.

And the mini-game feed so we can see Millar and Damon talking?

 

[shawnrbu]

DOB has his finger an inch from the censor button.

 

[Rovin Romine]

Duran to not drop the ball

Other than that.

 

[strek1]

JD rocking the prom night comments!

 

[Ferm Sheller]

Trot Nixon with the radio guys now.

And the mini-game feed so we can see Millar and Damon talking?

It's so Damon's kids can see who their dad is.

 

[DadOfFenway]

And now Damon.... think the drinkin' has begun.

 

[MacChimpman]

Actual WEEI audio from Fenway:
Johnny Damon: "I'm fortunate that I was very blessed to, uh, do my pushups and dips as a young kid, and I still have some, uh, nice muscles, the calves are still rockin' and rollin', um, my sweet ass is still looking very solid, so... I'm enjoying life!"
(Will Flemming: pissing himself laughing)
Joe Castiglione: "I guess you are!"

 

[mauidano]

And that's what good defense looks like huh?

 

[canyoubelieveit]

Huh, defense

 

[Rovin Romine]

Amazing catch by Kemp.

We need some luck to shift our way.

 

[RS2004foreever]

Hell of a play by Kemp.
I wish we could do things like that.

 

[strek1]

Masa still makes an out to the second baseman just a bit different.

 

[Al Zarilla]

Fucker Kemp even bounced up as soon as anybody could ready to make a throw.

 

[Darnell's Son]

Other than that.

Duran to not drop the ball. Still.

 

[LogansDad]

That was just a great fucking play

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

Thing about that play was how well Kemp was tracking. Just watching him running under control, you knew he had it. I don't know how guys do that shit.

 

[Dewey's 'stache]

Actual WEEI audio from Fenway:
Johnny Damon: "I'm fortunate that I was very blessed to, uh, do my pushups and dips as a young kid, and I still have some, uh, nice muscles, the calves are still rockin' and rollin', um, my sweet ass is, uh, still looking very solid, so... I'm enjoying life!"
Will Flemming: pisses himself laughing.
Joe Castiglione: "I guess you are!"

Thanks for the transcripts, wish I had heard it.

 

[Rovin Romine]

Trot thinks the Sox are the oldest organization in baseball.

Didn't Ellis Burks have a comment like that in the past couple of years?

 

[ColdSoxPack]

Millar is going around a second time on Damon's one-handed swings.

 

[canyoubelieveit]

For some reason it surprises me that Damon still remembers the names of the 2004 Cardinals starters.

 

[Rovin Romine]

Well, we're only down 2.

 

[brandonchristensen]

Damon morphing into Troy Polamalu

 

[RS2004foreever]

Man 20 years later and I can still see that Grand Slam Damon hit in game 7.

 

[DadOfFenway]

For some reason it surprises me that Damon still remembers the names of the 2004 Cardinals starters.

hahaha yeah - that was impressive. new about Marlins and then went on to tal about Cards starters was impressive - those braincells are fine.

 

[Darnell's Son]

hahaha yeah - that was impressive. new about Marlins and then went on to tal about Cards starters was impressive - those braincells are fine.

Those ones are, the others... not so much.

 

[Al Zarilla]

Man 20 years later and I can still see that Grand Slam Damon hit in game 7.

And his other home run as well.

 

[LogansDad]

God. Should be at like 52 pitches right now, instead he'll be lucky to get through 6.

Fuck.

 

[donutogre]

WOW not mincing words about Byung-hyun Kim

 

[absintheofmalaise]

For some reason it surprises me that Damon still remembers the names of the 2004 Cardinals starters.

I'd be surprised if he can remember the names of his kids.

 

[CarolinaBeerGuy]

Radio broadcast all but missed the first AB.

 

[brandonchristensen]

Well he should go 6 at least.

 

[bankshot1]

Damon must have been a madman on the road WBW. Probably still is.

 

[Al Zarilla]

Foulkey’s changeup still scares the hell out of me when I see him throw it in there in replays in the old key situations. You need blazing fastballs or sliders or such from a relief pitcher, right?
