Live Blogging the Sox w/ Joey Morgs

Welcome to the newest feature here at The New NMTE™, Live Blogging w/ Joey Morgs, wherein I transcribe a running IM conversation that my buddy Joe “GenIM” Morganella and I have during the Sox game and present it to you the reader, virtually untouched by editorial hands. Remember: all of this is real shit that Joe and I actually talked about during the game. Please excuse the coarseness of the dialogue, the meandering subject matter and the godawful grammar. It is simply an inevitability of the form.

So without further ado…

11:45 AM
JM: sox had a nice 8-run 4th inning
BD: are you shitting me?
JM: no
BD: wtf?
BD: it was 5-1 Royals so i started actually working! motherfuckers!
JM: i know...we're now winning 9-5
BD: fuckin' a dude
JM: i'm not kidding...these guys can't be stopped.
BD: guess so
JM: Rentawreck with 4 ribbies
BD: Renteria the Manny Killeria
JM: oh boy
BD: sorry, that was pretty weak
JM: yeah, it was
BD: lemme go get some coffee

11:55 AM
BD: O's fired Mazzilli
JM: i saw
BD: fuckin crazy
BD: they bottomed out REAL fast
JM: no shit...done and DONE
BD: i mean christ...they're behind the damn Blue Jays now

12:10 PM
BD: so what you think of Jose Cruz Jr.?
BD: think him & Kapler can hold down RF for the rest of the season?
JM: Yeah, I think they'll be fine, but Cruz isn't exactly disciplined at the plate, I'm actually surprised we picked him up…he'll swing at everything.
BD: he just hit a wall ball dub…that can’t be bad
JM: i woulda tried to trade for Huff, maybe give them Shoppach and someone else
BD: fuck huff…even for shoppach
BD: he's too expensive & his contract isn't expiring
JM: right, but there really were no good renta-players this year.
BD: although wait a second...huff does play first base, doesn't he?
JM: yeah, he does. and he’s young
JM: but i think cruz/kappy platooning will be alright
JM: I think Nixon's done for the season
BD: me too
JM: obliques are REALLY tough to heal
BD: dude's one of the worst healers i've ever seen
BD: he always takes longer than expected
JM: and it's a "Swing" muscle too
BD: i know...and Trotsky's not exactly a guy that can chill on his swing mechanics
BD: he's a ripper
JM: right…we'll see, but I think he’s g-one.
BD: seriously though...can you imagine this team if we had a real first baseman?
JM: oh god
JM: we'll have Youk there next year
BD: i thought you said we were gettin' rid of Mueller to make room for Youk at 3rd?
JM: who the fuck knows, dude
JM: I love Mueller too tho
BD: me too
BD: i never want him to leave
BD: ever ever ever
JM: i know.
BD: i want him to get old and wrinkly like Johnny Pesky and still be pullin his socks up high and thankin jesus and gunnin it to first from the hot corner
JM: keep Mueller at third, put Youk at first…and Millar? Buh-bye.
BD: uh yeah
BD: but now Old-erud is on the DL
BD: so we're gonna see a lot more of K-vin
JM: great

12:15 PM
BD: u see the pitching line for Carrasco, the Royals starter today? how's 3 2/3 IP, 1 hit, 5 runs, 1 ER, 7 WALKS, 4 Ks sound?
JM: ouch
JM: 1 hit, 5 runs?
BD: uh yeah
BD: 7 fuggin walks? in 3 and two thirds?
BD: jeeeeeeesus
JM: who IS this guy?
BD: hey, who the fuck is this Petagine guy and why is he fucking up our cleanup spot?
JM: I know!!!
JM: Thanks a lot, dude.
JM: see Ortiz's line so far?
JM: 1 AB, 3 walks.
BD: yeah...just like when Manny sat on Saturday
JM: right
BD: i mean, who would YOU want to pitch to?
JM: RIGHT

12:25 PM
JM: i like how we still haven't used Delcarmen that much
JM: so no one will get a look at him.
BD: good call
JM: that's what Anaheim did a couple years ago with KRod,
JM: they knew what they had and kept in the minors on purpose until sept 1 call-ups
BD: but made sure he was on the 40man so he could be in the playoffs
JM: right
BD: and they sent Papelbon back down to Pawtuck to get him some time in the pen
JM: right...liking that.
JM: i'd love to have him and del in the pen for the playoffs
BD: uh yeah
BD: beats Homer Halama and Wild Thing Mantei, thats for sure
JM: ya think?

Yes, this is what I do at work. Suckers.
