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)

- 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… #

- 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 #
