Twittering away again, week of August 8

This week’s tweets included me finally figuring out what the guy in the stand selling was saying on TV during the Red Sox games (“Hey, get a cold bud light!”) at Fenway, and quote from Roberto Clemente, which I saw on the signature of a person from SABR mailing list (I think). Clemente, a rightfielder for Pittsburgh Pirates with 3000 hits in MLB, died when the plane he was riding crashed off the coast of Puerto Rico, en route to deliver relief supplies to victims of the earthquake in Nicaragua. (December 31, 1972)

Oh, and watch this catch by Masato Akamatsu of Hiroshima Carp

  • This one is for you Daisuke Matsuzaka! Great outing. Now go beat them guys in the Bronx! #RedSox ? http://blip.fm/~uh9p3 (Link goes to a blip page with Standell’s Dirty Water, a song played in Fenway when the Sox win)#
  • Phew. Final score is 6-2 but it really didn't feel like that. I don't know if I can take the four games vs the Yanks… I'm a whimp. #RedSox #
  • Daisuke Matsuzaka was great tonight. His 6 strikeout means $3,000 more for Dice-K's strikeouts for Kids. 8Inn 5H 2BB 1ER. #RedSox #
  • That means he is due! RT @TomCaron: Beltre is 2-for-20 with bases loaded this season. #RedSox #
  • RT @nickcafardo: Add Oakland's Daric Barton to the list of potential LH hitting 1B #RedSox could explore. Barton on trade waivers today #
  • No! Bad news for the former Chunichi Dragons ace. RT @ajcbraves Kawakami to Triple-A to make four starts, get stretched out for #Braves #
  • Mother Nature maybe sad/angry over this Youkilis situation, too. Crazy thunder/lightening and raining cats & dogs over Boston right now… #
  • Not surprised, yet devastated. RT @AmalieBenjamin Youkilis will have season-ending thumb surgery tomorrow in Cleveland. #redsox #
  • Video of Hiroshima Carp's Masato Akamatsu robbing Shuichi Murata's HR. Crazy catch, via @bigleaguestew #NPB http://yhoo.it/aFi6mW #
  • Congratulations to Alex Rodriguez, who is the first MLB player to hit 600 home run while wearing lip gloss. :P #RedSox #
  • @thejoenguyen No, unfortunately, I am not going to the #aaja conventions this year. Looking forward to your reports/tweets! in reply to thejoenguyen #
  • I love that Ryan Kalish grew up as a #RedSox fan in NJ, Yankees territory. He is hitting .538 (7-for-13) since call up Saturday. #
  • THAT's what he's saying! I couldn't understand the guy. Thanks! RT @sfinleyNH Hey – get a cold beer lite! #TheGuyWhoAlwaysSaysThatOnTV #
  • That was amazing, standing-O for Mikey Lowell and then he hits a first pitch over the Monster. Wow. Goosebumps. 2-0. #RedSox #
  • Oooh this will be interesting. RT @mlbsecrets Pictures of Brad Pitt and Jonah Hill on the set of Moneyball – the movie http://bit.ly/a3MPty #
