Twitter-Mania Friday

This was a week full of ups (Red Sox sweep the Twins and Francona’s return to Fenway) and downs (Red Sox lose series to White Sox and losing 12-3 against the Indians in Francona’s return) for the Boston Red Sox.  It’s a long season; we all know that.  Hopefully, this weekend proves to be a good one for the Red Sox. 

Here are this week’s tweets:

Two random guys in the press box here doing play by play.  Only they’re not on the radio.  They’re just doing play by play.  And badly.

David Ortiz @davidortiz

Raining for 2 hours and nobody will call the game…. Come on!!!!!!  Pic.twitter.com/!ipvKHOXp7

Shane Victorino @ShaneVictorino

I would love to see @davidortiz do a tarp slide!  Who’s with me????? @JacobyEllsbury will record it

Pete Abraham @PeteAbe

Target Field now playing Prince songs.  And it’s “Purple Rain” naturally.

Cole! @crpoulio

“November Rain” would be an appropriate song length RT @PeteAbe: Target Field now playing Prince Songs.  And it’s “Purple Rain” naturally.

Nick Cafardo@nickcafardo

Anticipated start time at Target 6:25 central.  Nice rain delay caught up on reading war and peace and moby dick cover to cover.

Pete Abraham @PeteAbe

Bunch of #RedSox fans sitting behind the dugout chanting “Let’s Go Red Sox.”  Twins fans respond.  It’s like a high school game.

Ryan Lavarnway @RyanLavarnway

Not even a 3.5 hour rain delay can stop @15Lasershow #Sweep

Pete Abraham @PeteAbe

#Red Sox players all watched “The Sandlot” during the rain delay, too.  “It had been a while,” Lackey said.

Will Middlebrooks @middlebrooks

Pedroia on Francona managing at Fenway: “No big deal.  We already played them.  He’s been back before too.”

Pete Abraham @PeteAbe

The Clay Buchholz pre-start playlist is a wondrous thing.  Eminem then a song off the Grease soundtrack.  Now Prince.

Pete Abraham @PeteAbe

Now Journey.  Clay Buchholz, 80s wedding DJ or all-star pitcher.  He’s versatile.

Pete Abraham @PeteAbe

Ortiz just stole stole third.  I’m not lying, he really did.

5/23

Jacoby Ellsbury @JacobyEllsbury

LOL “@ShaneVictorino: Mr. Miyagi Karate Chop Style….. “@Deadspin: Hey, Shane Victorino, HIGH FIVE! Deadsp.in/ehhX12R” ….. Loved it!”

Mike Aviles @Themikeaviles

Back in Boston!!  Always have a soft spot for this city!!

Don Orsillo @DonOrsillo

Terry Francona texted me to come down to his office so he can punch me and mess up my hair.  He wonders why I am not rushing down there.

Jim Gaffigan @JimGaffigan

American in Boston: These are some old buildings.

European in Boston: These are some new buildings.

Bostonian in Boston: Yankees suck!

Mike Lowell @mikelowell25

Glad to see Fenway faithful changing “Tito.”  Always prepared to manage and genuinely loves being at the ballpark.  Not many like him around

Here’s this week’s Tweet of the Week, only because it was my tweet seen by thousands more people than it would have normally been seen by:
