      1: Yeah, my stomach is in knots.

      And GY, true that. The fact that it’s one game gives me hope, and also feels like a kick in the gut. One hiccup, and the season is finished. Of course, the Rox are playing under the same sort of pressure. However, it just seems like since they’re not supposed to be here anyway, the pressure is significantly lighter on their side.

      I’ve got to leave for class at 5, so I’ll be MIA for tonite’s affair. I’ll be able to listen all the way up to 6 o’clock. Here’s hoping I don’t miss much in class because we’re already soundly in control of this one.

      Gee — why would you think that? Maybe because episodes of Everybody Loves Raymond played right up until 7:30?

      At about 7:20 I had a minor panic attack when I turned on the TV, until I realized what they were doing.

      That wasn’t a complete disaster but the Rox didn’t have any trouble putting good wood on the ball. Jake needs to settle down or he’s going to get shelled. Just once I’d like to see Jake come through in a big game. There’s still time for that if he gets it together.

      We lost our best hitter and another one of our better hitters, so obviously the offense isn’t very good now. But the announcers seem to be completely unaware of park effects in discussing the offense, which is actually pretty middle of the road when healthy.

      44: Wouldn’t call any of those big games. I’d consider a big game a playoff game, or one with lots of hype, such as his start versus Boston or his short rest start versus AZ.

      The only somewhat recent “big” game I can think of that Peavy did good in was the start against Clemens a few years ago.

      driving home listening and was ready to get on here and write my assesment of how crappy we were playing. Then GONZO went grand slam. Great job geting runners on this inning.
