After the game, I said to my husband, "Varitek has got to stop crushing our pitchers. At least Paps looks sturdy." Not only can he fly (onto pitchers), carry 400+ lbs effortlessly, he can also make himself weightless at will. Superhero only explanation.
The "flight home" gallery is awesome. Even more awesome are the captions:
[Youkilis] slept past the Mississippi River, until he was bopped on the head by a 2-year-old with an Elmo book.
Seriously, if you made that caption up, people'd tell you to go easy on the Jack Daniels. 
I second Iain on the Youkilis bit. I am a bit disappointed at Tek in the tight white sleeveless T, though. I guess I can't ask for everything to be perfect.
Those flight home photos were priceless. And your comments were spot on- especially the Jacoby part. I can so see him carrying that jersey around from seat to seat, in awe of his teammates.
Is it possible to love these guys more?
whatever it is you're drinking/eating, i want some of it. that way, i, too, can have ridiculously hilarious 'imaginary world' conversations like you and your friends have on a continuous basis.
and i heard that paps did a dance during the rolling rally - but i saw the video, and it's sort of a not-quite-riverdance...more air guitar than anything else. someone tell me he did the full out dance with beckett once the parade stopped...and for the love of god, send me a link to where i can see it 
OMG Tek in that shirt had me dying - mmmmmm. WAY better than that white hoodie he wore in every post-game interview.
kln -- couldn't agree with you more about Tek in that t-shirt.
The "flight home" gallery is the most awesome thing EVER.
//And then he looks at Youkilis all, "Am I right?" and Youks is just like "get back in the wheelbarrow."//
this post is a thing of beauty.
so my friend and I have come to realize that your emails are pretty much the same thing as our IMs and its hilarious
first time visitor here, and I have to say... that post was awesome.
i congratulate amy on the crowning line:
"i feel like Pedroia is his tag team in this. Like sometimes he uses Pedroia for backup and sometimes he puts him small spaces..."
From the accompanying article:
"Jacoby Ellsbury, who looked like an Ivy League student in a white shirt and glasses."
This I can totally see - all that picture of him with his signed jersey is missing is ruffled hair. Because that's what I envision - each player rubbing him on the head as they signed his jersey. And I totally agree with him walking around calling everyone "Mr".
"A relaxed Josh Beckett played with the kids."
Seriously??? It's like an alternate universe. I see him being as comfortable with this as dancing with Papelbon.
Great post, amazing conversation. Totally made my day.
Yes, Katie, our conversations are just like this.
(I knew I'd find you on here ^_^)
Great post, I love those pics
