Red Sox-Angels Livetweeting Debriefing

My little livetweeting experiment was fun. Monitoring the #redsox search feed while I watched the game allowed me to interact with others as they were watching and tweeting (several from the actual game). It would be a blast to rig up with a few friends to talk about the game while it happens. A few favorites came out of this afternoon's affair.

Here's some ticket hawking from the game via Twitter:

@GBLPR: #redsox n e 1 need tix for tomorrow game? half price. text 7143968080 or come to sec 108 x 14
The Fox broadcast crew was making a big deal about their new Twitter feed - @MLBONFOX. In one segment they had sideline reporter Chris Rose on camera talking while he was struggling to finish a tweet on his BlackBerry:
@MLBONFOX: Chris Rose: It's amazing how big Red Sox nation is...half the ballpark must be Boston fans.
Damn straight, Rose. Every stadium is home field for RSN.

And, since I was now following Fox's feed, I got this, um, interesting tweet from Joe Buck, who was covering the STL game with McCarver:
@MLBONFOX: Joe Buck: Cold in the booth in STL. Tim and I are bundled up. And snuggling. Hard to type. I think hypothermia is starting to set in!
Disturbing imagery, to say the least.

I'll leave you with these words from the immortal Kenny Albert: "We've been tweeting."
