Boston Red Sox

[rickyh24]

Tonight's pitching matchup is going to be huge.

:thumbsup

[GavMan33]

I've been reading a lot about Matsuzaka being a "bust." True, he hasn't been great this year. I did read an article by some yahoo right before the All-Star break about how Dice-K should've been on the all-star team, etc. I sure don't think that's true. But let's remember, last year Beckett gave up about 2,000 HRs with a 5+ ERA. This year he will win the AL Cy Young. Now I'm not assuming any Cy Youngs for Dice-K, but I'm not throwing in the towel on him quite yet. Let's give him 2 or 3 years before we judge who exactly he is....

[GavMan33]

Double-posting in the Red Sox thread. Never thought that'd happen :lol

I'm in Albany, NY, right on the same weather pattern to Boston. It's very overcast right now, but no rain for the moment. Just to give you guys an idea what's coming. If I'm at a computer, I'll let you guys know what's up throughout the day....

[dowling25]

well i think that with jd drew too that its his first year in the al. hopefully next year he plays better. he has done pretty good in play offs though imo.

i can't wait for tonight. i hope sabathia struggles like he did against the yanks.

[LaDude]

I'm looking out the window at Fenway and blue skies!

LOL....now it's raining!

[dowling25]

is it supposed to rain all day?

[SoRight24]

Fuck you, rain!

[LaDude]

Fuck you, rain!

you tell em!

[Hudak-Budak]

People are saying Matsuzaka is a bust, but once again...it's the post-season. He could pitch like crap, he could throw a perfect game. You never know what's going to happen, because people play so differently when they can taste a championship.

I'm not counting anyone out. I hope tonight is a massive pitching duel with a 1-0 or a 2-1 win.

Time for me to go to work

I opened the first Bud Light about 10 minutes ago.

It's ON!

Yes but I'm in college, and I'm an alcoholic. :thumbsup

[Hudak-Budak]

Fair enough. Just looking out for ya, man. I don't want you passed out in your own piss and vomit when we knock Beckett out in the 3rd.

i see we meet again :glares:

[Hudak-Budak]

Last time C.C. Sabathia faced the Red Sox, he lost a 1-0 game. Last time Josh Beckett faced the Indians, he lost a 1-0 game.

Interesting.

[Hudak-Budak]

i see we meet again :glares:

You, on the other hand, need to start drinking to kill the pain.

:mad maybe I WILL.

actually, i am pretty sure my sister and i are going to consume an entire bottle of MOW-HEE-TOES tonight.

IN CELEBRATION, BITCHES!

I hope you're celebrating the Pats win in advance, because that's all you'll have to celebrate.

HA! we shall see. I think you'll be the one crying into your alcoholic beverage of choice tonight.

(notice how i'm not all "THE SOX WILL WIN" like I am for the pats? yeah.)

[GavMan33]

Considerably lighter here in Albany, NY, than it was a couple hours. Sun even poking out of the clouds every once in awhile. Could be some good news for tonight. They better not have to play through rain, that'd just suck.

Hey SoRight (I still don't know your name), you popped that Bud Light a bit early didn't you? And what the hell are you drinking Bud Light for anyway? I believe the word is Miller Lite....

SoRight's real name is Travis. You can call him Chad (as in Pennington), though, cuz he's a Jet's fan.

and omfg, we should get married, for I <3 Miller Lite.:lol

As Katie Brady said, my name is Travis. And don't fucking call me Chad, because as you can see by my signature, he's not my favorite person in the world.

And yeah, I guess you could say it was a little early. But I figured shit, it's Friday, it's after 12, why not??

And Miller Lite AKA horse piss, is never my drink of choice. :thumbsup ;)

[Hudak-Budak]

Neither of those beers are drinkable. Have some real beer.

Katie, I don't think we should ever get married, although I do spend a lot of time down in Northern Virginia :lol

I'm OK with that. Since I don't go to a football school, there are only two times during the year I drink before noon: St. Patrick's Day, and Thanksgiving. However, after noon, all is fair. You just gotta be careful not to go too hard too early :lol

Did you just say NO to my proposal!?

Fine, up yours, I don't want to spend the rest of my life bringing my man beer anyways:mad :p

[GavMan33]

My friend, Miller Lite is a chosen cheap beer. I'm actually liking that Miller Chill as another cheap beer. In terms of nice beer, give me a Guinness. Give me Yuengling (I don't think I spelled that right). Smithwicks. Boddingtons (that may be wrong too). I don't generally like really dark beer, but I'm 100% Irish, so it's necessary for me to drink some dark stuff :lol

[SoRight24]

Bud Light is good for drinking in copious amounts, which is what I'm planning on tonight. :lol

I think maybe I'll call him Kellen then. Is that any better?

And yes, I said no to your proposal. And I don't need a lady friend to bring me beer. Next to the couch I'll have a cooler stocked with beer on ice, so we can both get beer without getting up, so we don't miss a second of the Yankee game ;)

[Hudak-Budak]

I'd just rather have a 6-pack of stuff that tastes good rather than a 12 of crap.

Our friendship will be back in full force after the series, don't worry.

Laurie, great to see your lovely face as well. I refused to read the Red Sox thread for a few days, but I figured I'd hop in, see what's happening. I'm still very, very concerned about what's going to happen in the Bronx over the next week or so. I still believe the way things are right now is the best way possible to come away with a championship in 2008. Change is imminent, but I don't think that time has come just yet. Maybe give Torre a 2, 3-year deal, and call it quits when that comes up.

Back to your series, sun is out and burning bright here in Albany, NY. Did see a report live from Fenway from Tim Kurjian bout an hour ago, and they had the tarp on the field, but that doesn't mean much. Should be a good one tonight. And again, for some reason, we are all very much looking forward to the Buck/McCarver tandem. That is until about 9:00 tonight, when they become old and boring :lol

I can understand you laying low for the week. :shrug I am surprised that no big announcement has come out yet regarding Joe.

The sun is out now, all bright and shiny!! We will have the game tonight (*crosses fingers*)! It'll be a nice cool Soxtober evening. Perfect for playoff ball!!!

I'm glad you came back in time for the series. ;) :hug

[dmbgodagirl41]

yankees suck.

/end acting like 8 year old.

[larrythelegend_]

Slept for a few hours, looks like a lot of beer drinking going on already, just what I needed to hear, and just happen to have an ice cold Pabst in the fridge. Go Tribe!

[dmbgodagirl41]

did someone say PBR?

[larrythelegend_]

We're not enemies for another 2 1/2 hours, shall we shotgun a beer over a post board?

I don't know if you know this. But Larry Legend is from Boston. And you're a Cleveland fan. I'm obviously missing something....

I was wondering if and when someone was going to catch that. Don't have to give two shits about Boston anything to grow up idolizing Larry Bird do I? Go Tribe!

[larrythelegend_]

PBR is 6 bucks a twelve pack, and it won an award, a blue ribbon to be exact.

[thebestauntie]

Okay, let me get this straight now. You are from Boston (or the Boston area), you idolize Larry Bird, you are a Cleveland Indians fan, and you live in Seattle WA. Is that all correct?
PBR is 6 bucks a twelve pack, and it won an award, a blue ribbon to be exact.
Thanks.

[SoRight24]

It won the award for most likely to be cow piss.

[larrythelegend_]

I've never even been to Boston, fuck Boston, fuck the Sox, fuck the Pats, I'm from Ohio, I'll never ever jump ship on my Cleveland Indians, even if I have relocated to the Northwest. I was actually born in Ohio, but grew up in Colorado, and my allegiance stays with the Indians, even though there is a purple team from the west tearing it up right now, I've been to more Rockies games then Indians games, but if it ends up being the two in the World Series, I will forever bleed Indian red.

Always liked Larry Bird, nothing more.

[thebestauntie]

When something arises we can talk about it. They aren't talking to Torre for a week and A-Rod news won't be serious until the World Series.So..... Your point is obsolete?

Sorry all, I elected to go to my high school's football game tonight rather than stay home and watch the game. I did just see the end of the telecast just now; I hear Buck for about 3 minutes, and I threw up in my mouth a little bit.

Ortiz and Manny on base 10 out of 10 times tonight? It really sucks that Boston has a really good opportunity to win another World Series :violent

[Amy1518]

not a nurse yet...but do work in the ER.

[groton]

ah okay
but still a good thing to do

[Amy1518]

excellent memory by the way...i'm impressed!

[seekup41nancies]

Joe Buck & Tim McCarver tonight.....:BANG

They must be so pissed they cant talk about Arod and the Yankees ha

[Hudak-Budak]

So now it'll just take a Schilling pwnage for everyone to believe me that Cleveland was simply playing out of their minds against the Yanks...

And all season long, apparently, since we finished with the same record as you.

[dowling25]

great game to watch last night. beckett was solid again, and the bats hit the ball from the first inning.

tonight i think should be a great game, carmona pitched amazing against the yanks, and earlier this season he pitched an excellent game against the sox. just have to play good baseball tonight and get a few runs up early and let the bullpen come up and do what they are supposed to do.

[tmorry326]

Go sox.

[groton]

Go Sox.

and Amy yeah I guess i do have sometimes lol.


Ryan Nah the Indians have been good all year but this is the playoff's the time of the year for the sox to shine

[thebestauntie]

A little over four hours till game time! Doesn't last night game seem like ages ago? Can't wait for tonight! Heading over to Fenway in 1 hour!

Wish I had a ticket

[Hudak-Budak]

So now it'll just take a Schilling pwnage for everyone to believe me that Cleveland was simply playing out of their minds against the Yanks...

So does the inverse of this mean that you'll recognize the Indians are a good team who deserve to be right where they are?

[chr35919]

left schilling in too long

[Hudak-Budak]

left schilling in too long

I saw that even as an Indians fan. They said with a switch-hitting Martinez coming up, they didn't know which armed pitcher to bring in, the lefty or the righty. With Garko coming up next, just bring in the righty on the chance Martinez gets on base.

[justinandimcool]

Absolutely amazing bombs. :thumbsup

[jaking1185]

This is the first time I saw Okajima pitch. The way he looks down towards third base as he pitches is crazy. That delivery works for him though.

[GavMan33]

Let me just say: this is how October baseball should be played. Keeping late hours in order to see how the games turn out. This is why I love October baseball :thumbsup

[dowling25]

man thats rough. pitch well mostly with your bullpen and then these 2 guys come in and get owned.

[jmudmbphan]

gagne is such a waste..

[justinandimcool]

Karma is a bitch. Bang on your bullpen roof to make cool beats, get rocked when you get on the mound.

Cleveland, however- couldn't be more clutch in extra innings. Mastny and the guys that get the lousy singles (Trot effin Nixon!).

Shame, Gagne is now reduced to this. After a great outing by Papelbon too.

[MGH4007]

bull...tomorrow.

[justinandimcool]

ROFLcopters. And I predicted CLEVELAND'S bullpen would be their downfall.

[tankdan]

Yeh, go out in the bottom of the 11th, strike out three times, and go home and lick you wounds...

And consider NEVER playing Eric Gagne again.

Dan

[justinandimcool]

Then again. With Borowski in the bottom half, this game might not be over :lol

[dowling25]

wow well lets hope that we can just stick to delcarmen, papelbon, timlin, and okajima. i wouldn't be to comfortable seeing lopez, gagne, lester going out there after that.

well....see you in clevland!

[SoRight24]

Ok, I wasn't home to post last night, I was out at a friends watching the game.

But Eric fucking Gagne. :BANG

Schilling didn't come through last night either. But Lopez and Gagne failed to get the job done.

I am not a Sox fan although they are my first choice of team to win the postseason this year.

But what the fuck is UP with Gagne? Is he hurt? How could he be suddenly pitching so badly as soon as he is traded. I don't :confused

[dowling25]

I just think that he cannot pitch for a team like the red sox with the pressure and everything. and now that he has not performed well, he has lost his confident which makes him lose his command.

man after that first batter i was like gagne is on tonight. and then he just sucked dick. however lopez i think was worse then gagne.

[SoRight24]

I think it could psychological, and the pressure.

That first hitter he threw to, he was ON. Throwing 95.

Yeah I never want to see Lopez in again unless we HAVE to use him.

But I was excited about Gagne after that first hitter, he was throwing nice change ups and 95 mph fastballs.

But then it all went to shit.

[jmudmbphan]

why are they still even using gagne???

[SoRight24]

why are they still even using gagne???

Nobody else in the Pen.

We had already used Okajima, Paps had gone for 2 innings, Timlin is a fucking waste.

So we didn't really have a choice.

[sunshower]

Karma is a bitch. Bang on your bullpen roof to make cool beats, get rocked when you get on the mound.

Hey, it's the Boston bullpen: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rhpfsaJaxVcBoys, please forgive me if I'm wrong here, since I don't know a whole lot about baseball, but isn't that area they were playing in the dugout? A few of you have referred to it as the bullpen but it was my understanding that the bullpen was the area where relief pitchers warm up during the game. Am I way off base here?

[LaDude]

Well that sucked last night!

[rickyh24]

why did i have this feeling in my gut that it was over when gagne started to warm up?

[groton]

why did i have this feeling in my gut that it was over when gagne started to warm up?

Your a Sox Fan thats why I did also
I left the room when He came in I could not watch it

Think of the bullpen as the "pitcher's dugout"- the area behind the outfield. They sit there, and when the manager calls them up to ask someone to warm up, they get up and warm up.

All the batters, bench players, managers, and coaches hang out in the dugout, closer to home plate. Pitchers have their own little area.

Oh, okay. I guess in my quick glance, I thought it was all the players on the team banging on the dugout, not just the pitchers in the bullpen/pitcher's dugout.

My knowledge of baseball could fit in a thimble.

how is timlin a waste??? they should of kept him out there for another inning.

i kind of think they should of left gagne out there for one more batter. i mean i just think he might of been able to get out of it.

he's going to have to pitch again sometime most likely.

[ProudestAnt]

i kind of think they should of left gagne out there for one more batter. i mean i just think he might of been able to get out of it.

he's going to have to pitch again sometime most likely. I agree. You throw Timlin 2, Okie 2, Paps 2, then go to Delcarmen/Tavarez...

[jmudmbphan]

no way..gagne is a piece of shit and copmlete waste...i didnt see him getting out of that whatsoever

[dowling25]

is tavarez on the playoff roster or kyle snyder?

i think that gagne should of been left out there for one more batter actually. i just felt like he was going to get it. but i understand why you take him out because he just gives up one hit or walk and falls apart as of late.

[ProudestAnt]

i think that gagne should of been left out there for one more batter actually. i just felt like he was going to get it. but i understand why you take him out because he just gives up one hit or walk and falls apart as of late. neither actually. They kept Lopez and Lester for LR...

[dowling25]

i see well i don't know about the lester choice over snyder or tavarez

i think tavarez has done a pretty good job this year.

[dowling25]

and it looks like the rockies are going to win the series. so whoever wins the alcs will have the rockies to deal with.

man i hope the red sox play well tomorrow. just to get that lead in the series again to at least force it back to boston!

[Hudak-Budak]

I like Timlin. He just looks like a guy who is going to strike you out, get drunk and get into a bar fight.

[groton]

Timlin is good for his Role Ryan

[rickyh24]

hopefully Dice K gets his head out of his ass tonight

[groton]

I Feel he will do Good tonight

[SoRight24]

I really hope so, or we are in trouble.

[thebestauntie]

I Feel he will do Good tonight
I really hope so, or we are in trouble.
Yeah, it'd be nice for him to prove he was worth the $100million + that the Sox paid for him!

[GavMan33]

Hey all, what's good? Not sure I addressed this after Game 2, so I'll do it again.

First, that's how playoff baseball should be. That was an epic game, until the 11th. And that's what I want to say. What a bad hit to stay up so late, to watch an epic battle, and have it end like it did. One of the biggest letdowns I've ever seen. Maybe this won't be the epic series I envisioned it would be :shrug

And just so we all know, Manny Ramirez has been outstanding since he missed that month. He and Ortiz have hit their stride. If Dice-K throws a good game tonight, this ALCS could be in the books early....

[thebestauntie]

I would love to see Dice-K pitch well tonight. And yeah, Manny has been surprising me espcially in the field. As for the late game Saturday night, I didn't quite make it up for the whole game! I guess that something for you young 'uns to enjoy!! :lol I hope the game doesn't go too late tonight, I'm already tired!!

[smeritt]

Am I allowed in here during the game?

[thebestauntie]

But of course, who no one else insults me with such care!

[dowling25]

well i am getting all my reading and studying done this afternoon so i can sit back and watch the game. i am getting nervous. i have a flag football game at 430 so I am hoping that it doesn't interfre with the game.

C'mon Dice-k pitch well tonight!

[ProudestAnt]

Dice-K's line for tonight:

7 IP, 8 H, 3 R, 6 Ks, FTW...

[thebestauntie]

Dice-K's line for tonight:

7 IP, 8 H, 3 R, 6 Ks, FTW...
Hmmmm, I don't know if we can trust you Ryan, you were so far off with your prediction on Beckett. :lol

[rickyh24]

Dice-K's line for tonight:

7 IP, 8 H, 3 R, 6 Ks, FTW...



those are not bad....we should scored 3 runs so ill take that..as long as he goes 7 we are in good shape

[ProudestAnt]

Hmmmm, I don't know if we can trust you Ryan, you were so far off with your prediction on Beckett. :lol Yea, damn him and only throwing 6, and my overestimating the effectiveness of the Indians lineup...

[ProudestAnt]

those are not bad....we should scored 3 runs so ill take that..as long as he goes 7 we are in good shape I honestly think that's an acceptable line for tonight's game. Manny and Papi are coming to play and it's only a matter of time before Lowell, Youk, DustPan and Drew begin to feed off that momentum. If he can manage to only give up 3, Okie, Timlin and Paps can finish it off and 4 runs will win the game for us...

[thebestauntie]

Yea, damn him and only throwing 6, and my overestimating the effectiveness of the Indians lineup...
I sure hope you put that into consideration when making your Dice-K prediction today.

I would say that Lowell is already feeding off it, he drove it 3 runs on Saturday and has looked really good at the plate in both games.

[ProudestAnt]

I sure hope you put that into consideration when making your Dice-K prediction today. Meh...

[ProudestAnt]

I would say that Lowell is already feeding off it, he drove it 3 runs on Saturday and has looked really good at the plate in both games. :thumbsup Agreed, we just need him to pick up hits with no one on or leading off an inning...

[thebestauntie]

Meh...

yup the biggest thing is going 7 innings....

[ProudestAnt]

:lol:lol I'm being serious, their offense isn't that good, as long as Dice-K can keep it down in the zone and let the defense behind him play, he'll be fine...

[ProudestAnt]

yup the biggest thing is going 7 innings.... I would be alright with going 5 and bringing in Delcarmen, but going 6 with the lead? Game over with Okie, Timlin and Paps...

Ahhh. You really think the Indians offense isn't that good, even with all the scoring they did against the Yankees and us on Saturday night. I know the Yanks don't have the greatest pitching on the planet, but the Indians have wrung up a rather large amount of runs in the playoffs (besides Beckett's game of course).

[LaDude]

I’ve been totally deflated after Saturday night (Sunday morning)’s game. Need something good to happen tonight to get me excited about this series again.

I have a feeling Matsuzaka is going to pitch well tonight. Serving up a nice steady diet of gyroballs down the throats of the Indians.

[ProudestAnt]

:lol nice And when I say he agreed, I mean the conversation went something like this:

Me: Hey, uh, the Sox have a game on Monday, so I may have to bop out early depending on the start time.
Professor: Well, you're going to miss a lot of work and if you miss over half the class, it will count as an absence.
Me: Let me rephrase for you, I'm leaving class at 6:30 on Monday to go watch the Red Sox. I'm just giving you the heads up.
Professor: Well that may not be acceptable depending on how long you're in class for and--
Me: I'm not asking, I'm just giving you the common courtesy of a heads up, see ya next week.

[ProudestAnt]

I know the Yanks don't have the greatest pitching on the planet, but the Indians have wrung up a rather large amount of runs in the playoffs (besides Beckett's game of course). If you watch the location of the pitches, every ball they hit hard is up. Keep the ball below the belt, and they can't do anything. That's what Beckett did, sans one pitch (the Hafner HR)...

[thebestauntie]

You know what I'd like right now? I'd like the Red Sox to score some runs is what I would like right now. :BANG :BANG

[dowling25]

that was terrible. varitek comes up and blows. and then crips. now its 4-0 and things aren't looking great even though its still early.

[dowling25]

gosh well dice-k has just blown in all his starts this postseason.

i mean he looked good until this inning. i am pretty upset from that earlier bases loaded and now were down 4. dammit!

[dowling25]

darn that sucked

[thebestauntie]

Why can't the Sox score any runs???? :violent

[mullie15]
