Boston Red Sox

[Hench]

:lol the difference being, of course, that lenny actually is exceptionally good at what he does...

(oh, and this is totally out of left field, but I finally bought the CP dvd...where do you make an appearance?)
I'm in wwys, I believe right after the first "mom it's my birthday", and then once or twice in the latter half of watchtower. I'm so beat though, I'd been up for well over a day and a half at that point, I'm kinda just standing there with a dead look on my face despite the obvious awesomeness of the experience.

oh yeah, and on the cd and/or dvd, if you hear people yelling "last stop!! (clap clap) last stop!! (clap clap) during the encore break, that's me and my friends :D

[Holla9]

Boston sucks.

[UJCdream]

Boston sucks.

whatever you say, man.


so who's pitching this week for the Yanks? Brown? oh wait...

[Holla9]

How bout those Red Sox

:lol

[DMBfan41]

25-6 this weekend.

that Red Sox rotation is really lookin good!

[UJCdream]

i didn't see any of you sayin shit on Friday. funny how you can only run your mouth when you've got a few wins under your belt.


we know we'll be taking 2nd for the season... but we've got that WC, and you bet your ass we'll put up a fight in the post season.

[tdowe99]

It's ok.. the Yankees will get their asses kicked by Minnesota, and we won't have to worry about them in the ALCS.

[twosteppn36]

dont worry...theres still some games left in boston...we'll see then

[FPrefect61]

Yanks win this series, Boston's won other series, season's not over yet.

It's always nice to see Pedro get schlacked. :D

[UJCdream]

hey Tom, we still on for game 7 of the ALCS? :p

[FPrefect61]

hey Tom, we still on for game 7 of the ALCS? :p
You know it. :D

[UJCdream]

You know it. :D

what a day that'll be...


we still need to work on some ground rules for that, too. to assure no injuries and whatnot. :lol

[FPrefect61]

Talking shit when you lose is pointless, but Boston fans obviously haven't figured that out yet!

[UJCdream]

it's called having pride in your team whether they win or lose.

something most yankees fans have yet to accomplish. for example, booing your own team on their home field.

[FPrefect61]

Wait, wait, wait one second Beth. The Fenway fans never booed Nomar?

At some point in time, all hometown fans booed their own

[UJCdream]

Wait, wait, wait one second Beth. The Fenway fans never booed Nomar?

my mistake.

but honestly, i've never heard of it happening as much as it does/did at yankee stadium.

[FPrefect61]

See any sporting event in Philly. :) Hell, they booed Santa Claus. :lol

[UJCdream]

:lol

[FPrefect61]

But at the same time, I'll say that Philly fans are some of the most devoted I've ever seen, even though none of their sports teams have won a championship in over 20 years. At least the New England area has the Pats.

A lot of the sox players werent thinking 2nd on thursday night, or 2nd on friday night either...I did see a few sox players talking an awful lot of shit on wednesday, thursday...comments like "oh the yankees can hear us coming, we are in their heads, they can feel the pressure." Talking shit with a few wins under their belt...and then on sunday after the game it was.." Oh we are locked in for the wild card..." man what a difference a few days make.....But all in all...it was a great weekend for baseball the weather was good cept for Friday..and atleast there was no foul play...Can't wait for the playoffs.....

[FPrefect61]

One thing I am grateful for is there were no incidents this series.

[brydro]

One thing I am grateful for is there were no incidents this series.

I was thinking that all weekend...no non sense, clean baseball!

[FPrefect61]

Though Cairo got nailed a few times. The guy's a walking bulls-eye. :lol

[greppson]

i feel like the sox "build up" the yankees too much in their minds and that is why they have trouble beating them.


although, when they announced the 3rd game, they were talking about how cool it was and how pedro doesn't always perform well in those situations. i knew the 2nd game with lowe could have gone either way, depending on how he was feeling.

it'll be nice in the next series to see schilling pitch against the yanks and see how we do.

[DMBfan41]

everyone boos their own players. You pay to see them win. They are played to play. And when they are sucking, you let them hear about it. Thats not just New York. That's everywhere.

[UJCdream]

chalk my statement up to personal opinion then. i just, personally, think that booing your team (this is a general "your", by the way) isn't going to help things at all, possibly even make them worse. then again, i'm a pretty sensitive person so i guess i'm just putting myself in their shoes.


also, sorry for the shit talking yesterday. it's pretty out of character for me.

[FPrefect61]

also, sorry for the shit talking yesterday. it's pretty out of character for me.

These two teams always seem to bring out the worst in the fans, don't they? :lol

[greppson]

beth, did you register to potentially be able to buy alds tickets?

[UJCdream]

These two teams always seem to bring out the worst in the fans, don't they? :lol

:lol they really do! i've done a damn good job at keeping it to myself this year, but after this weekend... i dunno what happened.

[UJCdream]

beth, did you register to potentially be able to buy alds tickets?
bet your ass i did!


edit: did i read the thingy right when i read that those that aren't picked for alds, get thrown into the alcs (should there be one) drawing, and from there (again, if we're involved in it) the WS?

See, I am a season ticket holder of the hated ny yankees, and its funny what the media want to show you, earlier in the year when Jeter was in a horrible slump, Sportscenter would show the fans booing...but what they didnt show you was every night 51,000 people were standing up cheering "Derek Jeter!, Derek Jeter!" he was like 1 for 36 at that point...but the whole crowd stood behind Derek, he got booed, but he also got cheered plenty during a really bad streak..every fan eventually boos because of frustration, You Boston fans are a different breed though, and I respect you for that...See we as Yankee fans realize that the payroll is absurd, so if all these guys that are making 15 million dollars to play baseball arent performing like their paycheck..we get more pissed, cause not only do we pay money to see this team, but we also hear all year long from fans of other teams that our payroll is ridiculous...so they shoudl atleast perform..me I didnt boo, I cheered Jeter throughout that whole slump, I mean how can you Boo Derek Jeter as a Yankee fan...man he could suck for the rest of his career, but I know I watched a special player, doing special things when it counted...Ahhh I smell October... :)

that was very well put. a :thumbsup to you.

i can completely understand where you're coming from, and you're right that the media only shows what will stir up some controversy. like i said, it was pretty unlike me to throw that stuff around... but it's part of the game i guess.


annnnnd... just because i have to... if yankees fans think hearing about the absurdly high payroll is bad, you should stop to think how annoying it is to hear/see "1918" constantly. ;)

Living proof that Yanks fans and Sox fans can get along.

:lol :thumbsup

everyone is too worked up during game-time to even think about getting along. all you want is for the other team to go down hard so you can have something rub in their faces. :lol

[UJCdream]

Tom, I'm thinking we'll have a few more takers on this game 7 business if we spread the word. :lol

but! it has to be even numbers on both sides... to ensure saftey. :lol

[Hench]

It's ok.. the Yankees will get their asses kicked by Minnesota, and we won't have to worry about them in the ALCS.
And then WE have to face johan santana?? noooooooo thank you, I'd rather the yanks beat them and we get another amazingly tense alcs like last year than have two guaranteed losses at the hands of that twins pitching machine

[dmb1spe]

If you think the Yanks go down in the 1st round you're on the pipe.

[JTRain]

I love Ortiz.

[JTRain]

Holy Jesus this game got really ugly.

Motherfuck

[FPrefect61]

And then WE have to face johan santana?? noooooooo thank you, I'd rather the yanks beat them and we get another amazingly tense alcs like last year than have two guaranteed losses at the hands of that twins pitching machine
One thing we can agree on. Santana scares me more than any other pitcher right now

[UNC41]

One thing we can agree on. Santana scares me more than any other pitcher right now

Right now I think that is more of fact than opinion.

[JTRain]

Come on guys. Back within 2.

[DMBfan41]

And then WE have to face johan santana?? noooooooo thank you, I'd rather the yanks beat them and we get another amazingly tense alcs like last year than have two guaranteed losses at the hands of that twins pitching machine

wow, way to have confidence in your team

[saygoodbye12]

wow, way to have confidence in your team
Um...have you seen Santana pitch at all this season?

[JTRain]

Score a fucking run!

Jesus, Schilling's got 14 Ks and has given up 3 hits. Score one fucking run!

[JTRain]

Thank you, Millar.

[tdowe99]

Score one fucking run!
As you wish. :multi

[JTRain]

fucking jesus cocksucker

[Rob]

Fucked by the ump on the 0-2 "Ball right down the middle" call.

[JTRain]

Thank you Mueller. Get these runs in!

[JTRain]

I'm gay for Bellhorn!

[billies_41]

thank god we won this game. i was about to jump out my window. Sure im on the first floor, but still...

[UJCdream]

i haven't been that worked up during a game in a while. that was crazy shit.


but... YAHOOOOOO!!!! go Sox!!

[Trainer2375]

Beth...love your av :)

go sox!

[JTRain]

Come on Cabrera, make up for fucking Foulke. Again.

[JTRain]

Foulke really should kill himself.

[UJCdream]

i'm pretty sure i'm going to die by the time this game is done

[greppson]

i think i have had like 4 heart attacks so far during this game.

[UJCdream]

meintkiewicz is the MAN.

[UJCdream]

i think i have had like 4 heart attacks so far during this game.
:thumbsup i'm heart-attacking all over this piece right along with you

[greppson]

all we need is one really good hit with a couple peeps on base... or a homer.


COME ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[greppson]

Cabrera!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!

[UJCdream]

that... was BEAUTIFUL!


helll yeah!! :bounce :bounce :bounce

[JTRain]

I love Orlando. Back to 3.5.

[UJCdream]

this team is fucking amazing! *huge giants effin sigh of relief*

[greppson]

that was great. i am so drained from that game, haha.

[Hench]

Cabrera wins the game. In an ironic twist, nomar got the only run in the cubs game tonight, getting them a win over the pirates. Now the giants have to lose tonight and we're one step closer to that perfect world series.

[FPrefect61]

Good game for you guys last night.

Even "Get Fuzzy" is getting in on the "rivalry" :lol

[JTRain]

It was such a good win for us...but seriously, I'll take Foulke doing his fucking job than that.

[davehead34]

Damn I didn't even know about this thread! I'll be on here Friday when we beat the Yanks ass!! :knocks on "lucky" block of wood:

we have a Get Fuzzy daily calendar at work... every once in a while he throws in some Sox/Yanks debates... quite amusing.

[UJCdream]

also... apparently they're making a Get Fuzzy movie.

[JTRain]

I love Pokey + Cabrera up the middle.

[JTRain]

Ortiz motoring around to score. :thumbsup

[UJCdream]

i've decided... i'm going to be all grey by the end of this weekend.


buut.. all awesome games :thumbsup

[JTRain]

Oh jesus...Kim is warming up.

Oh jesus.

[JTRain]

Fuck!

[UJCdream]

:BANG :BANG

[greppson]

wow, that was close!!!!!!!1

[UJCdream]

hey jason... did you get a yay or nay for ALDS tickets? i got a nay

[greppson]

nay. so did my friend. :(

[UJCdream]

damn. :(


and... umm... is my vision correct? is that KIM??

[greppson]

ugh..

wtf. throw the ball, kapler!

[UJCdream]

come ON!! what the hell is going on!

[greppson]

well, we just lost that game. i doubt a come back will be happening now. :(

[UJCdream]

yep. it's very unlikely.

a friend of mine is still convinced we'll win. ugh.

[UJCdream]

Ellis Burks :thumbsup

[greppson]

wow... come on GUYS!!!!!!!!!!

[UJCdream]

holy shit.. i thought that was GONE

[greppson]

so close. only like 10 more feet and we would have had it.

[UJCdream]

time to start praying for a sweep this weekend

[redsoxiluv]

frustrating game, but from the moment I saw BK warming in the 'pen I knew it was over. it astounds me that this man is still allowed to wear a sox uniform.

hey jason... did you get a yay or nay for ALDS tickets? i got a nay how did you already find out? an email? i have yet to hear anything (which i assume means I was denied?)

[brydro]

time to start praying for a sweep this weekend


Even if they sweep...its still a 1 1/2 game lead...now it sure would have been more interesting if you guys won last night...I am not saying its over for I know its not...theres still plenty of baseball left..hope its a great series this weekend...Enjoy! :)

[FPrefect61]

I say now what I said before the last series. I'm just hoping for a good, clean series, no brawls, no cheap shots, no head hunting.

[Rob]

I signed up three email addresses- I got denied for two, but haven't heard anything from the third...

And Kim going into the game last night... That was Francona throwing his arms in the air and conceding the AL East. I'm not even saying they could have done it, but playing Kim is giving up the fight and settling the the wild card.

Hell, one could make the same argument for Mendoza, but whatever.

[brydro]

I say now what I said before the last series. I'm just hoping for a good, clean series, no brawls, no cheap shots, no head hunting.

Once again I feel the same... :thumbsup

oh believe me, i know that even if we sweep we'd still be 1.5 behind. but it's a lot more likely to gain 1.5 after this weekend, than it is to gain anywhere from 7.5-4.5.


and Rob is right, throwing Kim out there was a sign of weakness and lack of faith. i think Francona has done an excellent job so far this year, but by throwing Kim in there like he did showed that Francona didn't think we could come back from the deficit. but in actuality, if Kim didn't go in and we didn't give up those 2 runs, we would have had another extra innings game.

let's just hope he learned his lesson while there is still time.

[Rob]

Francona has been horribly inconsistant- I am not at all happy with him as a manager. He's essentially another Grady Little.

I will always go back to the game at Yankee Stadium- we're down by a run or something, and Ortiz ends up on first. He makes it all the way around to third, and THEN Francona replaces him with Kapler. This is the 7th or 8th inning in a close game. You don't wait until he's on THIRD to replace him- what good is Kapler? On a ground ball, either is out at home. On a long fly ball, either can score. There's about a 20 foot band of outfield where Kapler can score that Ortiz can't. So, of course, the Sox don't score that inning, we do later, go into extras, and Kapler makes a couple of key outs.

That's just one example, but he's been doing innane crap like that all season.

[UJCdream]

he's certainly not the best Manager i've seen, but he helped get us where we are so i'm happy for that.

you're right though, he's had his faults. being late the punch on pinch running, taking Schilling out in the 8th when he was still clearly on fire and throwing in Foulke who almost lost the game, etc. but... i guess we'll just have to wait and see if he learned from his mistakes.

[FPrefect61]

My question is, would Francona have taken Pedro out last year? ;)

[Rob]

Anybody in the world outside of Grady Little would have taken him out.

[mray10]

My question is, would Francona have taken Pedro out last year? ;)

My question is: Go eat a dick, scumbag.

[UJCdream]

:thumbsup

[brydro]

I have a problem with this statement...only cause...Yeah they should have taken him out..but I am sure its a tough decision on the managers part to take out your number one ace who has gotten you that far...Maybe he was being to friendly to Pedro but, if given other managers the chance at that situation without seeing the outcome ahead of time, would they have taken Pedro out? Im sure there would be some managers that would make the same mistake..Yeah in the end he fucked up, but I am sure thats a damn tough decision to make.....Hey Bobby V might have kept him in, maybe Art Howe too...

[FPrefect61]

Yeah, but Bobby V would have done it wearing a fake moustace and glasses. :lol

maybe so.

but how i understand it, is that grady basically asked pedro if he wanted to stay in. any pitcher is going to say to keep them in, especially in a big game like that. they want to be the hero. there comes a point where you need to realize when enough is enough. and grady didn't figure that out in time.

I know right were ur coming from...I just feel it might be tough to look at ur ace pitcher after he tells you he wants to stay and just take the ball from him..Hey it made my night... :)

[Rob]

Grady Little was a complete idiot. Sox fans saw this ultimate demise coming long before the playoffs. When did he ever take a pitcher out before he was in trouble? In the ALDS against the Athletics, a pitcher would have to give runs up in late innings before he'd be taken out. I remember Burkett, especially, would be out of gas by the 6th- he might walk a guy and give up a hit or two, and his right arm was 6 inches longer than his left. Next inning, he'd be back out there and nobody would be warming in the bullpen.

The fuckup with Pedro was just the last, and most visible, of Grady's fuckups. The fact is, he'd been doing it all season, had lost games from it, and never learned from it.

[JTRain]

Please Pedro. I live right next to a fucking Yankees fan. Help shut him up tonight.

[JTRain]

Well that was a start.

Haha...I'm watching UPN, and he has it on NESN. UPN is about 4-5 seconds ahead.

[JTRain]

Great...Arod should be out.

[greppson]

arod was OUT. even a yankee fan can't argue that.

[JTRain]

Nice bomb by Manny. And good job by Bellhorn from not fucking striking out.

[greppson]

no shit on bellhorn, woo! that deserves a standing ovation not striking out. :lol

[greppson]

Trot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[JTRain]

Once again, nice to have you back Trot.

[JTRain]

Holy shit...another 2-out walk to Bellhorn?

Thanks, Mussina.

[JTRain]

Lets go Ortiz.

[JTRain]

Nice, Jesus.

[JTRain]

Way to fucking be, Pedro.

Fucking cock.

[JTRain]

Well that wasn't really surprising at all.

[greppson]

2 bad calls at 3rd, both CLEARLY out on the replay. hopefully mcclelland sees those...

[UJCdream]

all i have to say is FUCK that 3rd base ump. if he called those two plays as outs, we'd still be tied. fuck him.

[UJCdream]

also... way to drop the ball on taking Pedro out when he should've been taken out.

AGAIN. :BANG

[JTRain]

No Rivera?

[UJCdream]

Rivera will be in the 9th, i'd guess.

[greppson]

rivera will be in for the 9th, i'm sure.

[JTRain]

Shit, I thought it was the 9th.

[UJCdream]

c'mon Millar... save us again.

[UJCdream]

or not.

[UJCdream]

well.


there goes that.

[greppson]

:(:(

[WineSnob]

Shit! :(

Help me out...I'm "watching" via web cast - what happened?

[DMBfan41]

one out away!

[WineSnob]

Crosses fingers*

[JTRain]

Fuck!

[UJCdream]

blah.


well, atleast it was an interesting game. and by interesting, i mean how a few bad calls (by both umps and francona) helped lose the game for us.

[WineSnob]

That blows :(

[DMBfan41]

blah.

:thumbsup
This is true.

[greppson]

:( :(

[UJCdream]

Help me out...I'm "watching" via web cast - what happened?
first time, A-Rod i believe was stealing 3rd and Varitek threw to Mueller... A-Rod was sliding in and Mueller tagged A-Rod's chest before his hand hit the bag, but the ump called him safe. he scored from 3rd shortly after that.

second time, don't remember which Yankee it was... but they went for 3rd, and again Mueller tagged the runner before he hit the base, and again... was called safe. luckily, Timlin got him out at home before he scored.

[UJCdream]

yeah, god forbid, the Red Sox lose on their own
i never said that, did i?

i said those bad calls HELPED lose the game for us.

[greppson]

yeah, god forbid, the Red Sox lose on their own
looking at the fucking replays, they were bad calls made at 3rd.


douche.

[JTRain]

Haha...my Yankee fan suitemate didn't even watch the whole game, so I didn't have to hear him screaming at every fucking ball hit in the air like they were all HR. But, still, I wouldn't mind punching him in the face. ;)

i want to apologize, i'm not usually this vocal, but ANY person with 2 eyes, hell ONE eye could see both of those were bad calls.

i'll still never understand why it's so difficult to take Pedro out of a game. ugggghh...

Said it before, and I'll say it again, these games bring out the worst in fans, even fans like Jason, Bethie, and me.

Until the day I die, I will remember this quote. :lol

[greppson]

Said it before, and I'll say it again, these games bring out the worst in fans, even fans like Jason, Bethie, and me.you got to admit though, that those were 2 tough calls AND that they were clearly out.

[greppson]

eventually, they will put some type of chip in their shows and the ball... and then it will be scored as an out or as safe by computer, not by humans.

[FPrefect61]

Blaming the umps now? ;)

Guy on ESPN radio made a good point this morning, you make your own breaks. If Torre didn't take the chance and send A-Rod, we wouldn't even be talking about this.

[dmb1spe]

Let's go Yankees!!! clap clap clapclapclap

i'm not blaming the umps, look at the plays and tell me, in your honest opinion that they were safe. no way. they weren't even near the bags. i must have watched like 3 different angles for each. no way.

Ok, are my calculations correct:

If we win every single game, and the Yanks lose all their games, we'd be tied for the division?

9 games left, 5.5 behind.

Win the next two Fenway games - 3.5 behind, with 7 left

Win all 7, and Yanks lose all 7 - 0.0 behind. Tied.

--------------------------------

Of course, the Yankees aren't likely to lose the next 9 games straight.

Yanks have 8 games left after this. If Boston wins all 7 of their remaining games and the Yankees lose all their eight, Boston will be 3 games up and win the division.

NOT VERY LIKELY!

[JTRain]

Nicely done.

[JTRain]

What a great play from Mueller.

[JTRain]

Fucking christ, can we hold a lead for more than one inning?

[JTRain]

Haha...I enjoyed seeing Terry do that.

[UJCdream]

was Mueller just chillin in the cooler?

[UJCdream]

nice double play!

[UJCdream]

:lol david's reaction to that hit is hilarious

[UJCdream]

also... now would be a great time to put in a pinch runner for ortiz.

[Rob]

No, his lunge for first base out of stride was hilarious.

[Rob]

No way is it pinch runner time! It's too early, he still has an at-bat left, and the game is too close.

[tdowe99]

Haha!

[UJCdream]

No, his lunge for first base out of stride was hilarious.
that's what i meant, but just chalked it up to "reaction".

nice error, yankees.

[UJCdream]

dammit.

[JTRain]

Damn Arod and his frosted tips.

[UJCdream]

Damn Arod and his frosted tips.
frosted flakes? mmmm...

oh.

[UJCdream]

ooooh... i could feel the wind on that one from here, sheff

[UJCdream]

thank you, jesus!


i mean johnny.

[JTRain]

Come on, get out with the score intact.

[UJCdream]

let's hope Foulke doesn't fudge this up again.

[UJCdream]

yes!

[JTRain]

let's hope Foulke doesn't fudge this up again.


Oh, there's still time for that.

[UJCdream]

Oh, there's still time for that.
that there is

[UJCdream]

now is not the time to strike out, bellhorn. hit that shit.

[JTRain]

Haha.

[UJCdream]

c'mon manny... perfect opportunity to be the hero here. let's go guys!!

[UJCdream]

Yeah!!!

[JTRain]

Perfect.

[UJCdream]

walking ortiz :rolleyes:

[UJCdream]

:bounce :bounce :bounce

THANK YOU TEK!!

[JTRain]

Yeah, Jason finally did something.

[UJCdream]

it's about damn time he did something. he's been in a wicked slump.

[UJCdream]

i think i might be dreaming this up.

[JTRain]

Haha...I love listening to my suitemate scream.

[JTRain]

When Jeter missed that ball at second, one of the other Sox suitemates went by the Yankee fans door and said something to the effect of "Wha-what happened? Is there a hole in his glove? He should get that stitched up or something."

[UJCdream]

Haha...I love listening to my suitemate scream.

:lol i bet he's screaming up a storm right now!


go sox!

[tdowe99]

Hell fucking yeah! 1 down, 8 to go.

[UJCdream]

so Brown's going to attempt to pitch tomorrow. that should be interesting

[JTRain]

so Brown's going to attempt to pitch tomorrow. that should be interesting


I really hope we shell him. I've never liked Brown.
So happy we got Schill going tomorrow.

[UJCdream]

from what i heard in pre-game stuff today, i guess they're only hoping to get about 2-3 innings out of Brown...which means they're be going through pitchers like mad tomorrow. hopefully that'll work to our advantage, 'cause they went through a good amount tonight too.

and yeah, i feel damn good about having Schill on the mound tomorrow. he lives for high pressure games, he's said it himself.

[elf]

My dad is going to the game today...a business friend got tickets.

5th row behind third base line. :violent

[JTRain]

My dad is going to the game today...a business friend got tickets.

5th row behind third base line. :violent
I fucking hate your father.

[UJCdream]

I fucking hate your father.
you can add me to that list too.


actually... you can put me on the "i hate MY dad" list too. at my dad's old job, his boss had box seats that he used to give to my dad all the time 'cause he wasn't a fan of baseball (no idea why he had box seats). my dad and i have gone to a ton of games thanks to this man. man... we were 3 rows behind the dugout!!


damn my dad for getting a new job.

[JTRain]

I love seeing Sheffield swing and miss like that.

[JTRain]

Fucking beautiful!

[UJCdream]

suuuch a beautiful sight.

you're suitemate must be flipping out right now. :lol

[JTRain]

suuuch a beautiful sight.

you're suitemate must be flipping out right now. :lol


No, I think he was the one just in the shower.

[UJCdream]

see ya, Brownie. go back to punching walls.

[JTRain]

Haha, that was great. We get Loiza now? Could be even better.

[UJCdream]

either way, we've got a nice cushion to sit on for now.

[JTRain]

I wish the Pats were playing too today.

Also, the Yanks sure are bitching about these strike calls. I love it.

[JTRain]

Thanks Arod for not catching that foul ball.

[UJCdream]

:lol :lol

Jeeeeeeeeeter! Jeeeeeeeeeter!

[UJCdream]

I wish the Pats were playing too today.


:thumbsup

damn bye weeks.

[JTRain]

Haha, fuck you Loften.

[JTRain]

What the fuck is this?

[UJCdream]

c'mon Schill... what's up with you man?

[tdowe99]

It's only 2. We're still ok.

[saygoodbye12]

Got to sit on the Green Monster last night. Very cool experience.

My friend and I opted not to wear anything Yankees so that I wouldn't have to deal with idiots all night.

We went to Boston Billard Club afterwards and got $1 drafts. It was fabulous.

As for today's game, the only good thing to see so far is that Kevin Brown should not be on the playoff roster.

[UJCdream]

wonder why they took Manny out.


i certainly hope it's not because of the hole in his pants... 'cause that's a damn lame reason.

[UJCdream]

Trot Nixon, everybody... the Yankee killer!

[JTRain]

Haha...yup, it's a Yanks/Sox game.

[UJCdream]

good job Sox! :)

and good job at keeping it.. uhh... sorta clean

[JTRain]

good job Sox! :)

and good job at keeping it.. uhh... sorta clean


Of course, it all started with Lofton being a little bitch.

[JTRain]

Oh, and a great big :thumbsup to Ellis Burks.

[UJCdream]

Of course, it all started with Lofton being a little bitch.
"waaaaa!! i don't have enough room on the base! waaaaa!!"

dude, you were OUT... you don't need room to be fucking OUT.

[greppson]

no one can call the sox classless, as mr. tom has done all season.

1. lofton complains and gets all pissy for a ROUTINE play to first base. he knew he was out before he got there, don't give me any other explanation.

2. ok, i will give you that astacio throwing those pitches was stupid and really not necessary... but at least he didn't...

3. GO AFTER SOMEONE'S FUCKING HEAD!!! That is CLASSLESS. If you're going to throw it at someone, don't throw it at their HEAD. Stupid.

And don't give me this bullshit either, because we beat the yankees 11 out of 19 games this season. Clearly, we can see who the better team is when playing each other.

[saygoodbye12]

And don't give me this bullshit either, because we beat the yankees 11 out of 19 games this season. Clearly, we can see who the better team is when playing each other.
Yet it doesn't mean a thing, does it?

[greppson]

i'm just tired of everyone saying that boston was a no-class hack team. i think the season stats show prove that wrong.

[saygoodbye12]

3. GO AFTER SOMEONE'S FUCKING HEAD!!! That is CLASSLESS. If you're going to throw it at someone, don't throw it at their HEAD. Stupid.
Was it more classless than when Pedro threw at Karim Garcia's head?

[greppson]

i'm talking about THIS GAME.

[saygoodbye12]

i'm talking about THIS GAME.
That has nothing to do with how you started your post which was whether the BoSox are classy or not. One game doesn't decide anything. So I simply asked a question.

As for today:

However the hell you spell the first baseman's name...

He should not have kept his foot on the base, plain and simple. He's asking for an injury that way. It's more of a danger to him than the baserunner.

Did Lofton overreact? Yes. But he was right in the general sense.

Then the BoSox throw AT him FIRST.

So to you, it's a sign of class to purposely throw behind Lofton where if he moves the wrong way he could possibly get a fastball to his back than throwing up and in?

If they don't thow at Lofton, Halsey doesn't throw that pitch.

Should he have thrown at his head? No...and it's too bad they didn't charge the mound and beat him with baseball bats so he couldn't pitch the rest of the season. :(

[FPrefect61]

Shit, guess we should had the Sox the World Series trophy now, huh?

Thanks, Nicole, for making the obvious points before I could. :)

You forgot they threw at Loftin three times.

I'll repeat that.

THREE TIMES

Even Pedro's not that bad, oh wait...

[greppson]

see. that's what pisses me off. even when the red sox win a game, yankees fans still think there team did nothing wrong and that is was a fluke that we won. i say 11 out of 19 is no "fluke".

[DMBfan41]

Congrats on the season series victory. I don't know what kind of trophy or reward you get for it, but whatever.

So, Just a little trivia for the Sox fans.

When was the last time the Red Sox beat the Yankees in a Season Series?
Answer: 1999

Who won the world series in 1999?
Answer: Yankees

Who did the Yankees beat in the ALCS to make it to the World Series?
Answer: Red Sox


So, like I said, congrats on the season series.

[Hench]

So to you, it's a sign of class to purposely throw behind Lofton where if he moves the wrong way he could possibly get a fastball to his back than throwing up and in?
Don't talk about class. There's a big difference between throwing at someone's back and at their FACE. Roberts, who had nothing to do with the incident in the first place, could have been seriously injured. Torre giving the order to aim for Roberts' head was pretty scumbaggish.

[saygoodbye12]

The fact is, the Red Sox could have beaten them all 19 games and if the Yankees beat them in the playoffs, those 19 games mean jack shit.

If fans in Boston are partying because they beat the Yanks this season more than they lost to them, then great. Party hard!

I hope to be in Boston in a couple of weeks when they're crying like little bitches into their beers wondering why they can never beat the Yankees when it counts.

[greppson]

"It happened in Cleveland, too. There are 700 players in the league and he's the only that for some reason I get an elbow from every time," Mientkiewicz said. "I mean, I've got nothing personal against Kenny. I just, I don't like to be elbowed. It's not like I'm trying to initiate it."

''I was trying to get out of the way,'' Lofton said. ''I said to him, `Why don't you get out of the way?' ''

The real question is why was Lofton still running towards and through the bag when he was out? Mientkiewicz was stepping off the bag and walking away and Lofton throws his arm out. I just don't get it.

''Tensions run high when we play the Red Sox, but I don't think it affects the way we play,'' said Halsey, who denied throwing at Roberts.

He's denying it? Come on... it was under the guy's CHIN!

Sorry, just venting my anger at some players. :)

[greppson]

I hope to be in Boston in a couple of weeks when they're crying like little bitches into their beers wondering why they can never beat the Yankees when it counts.
Well.. if we keep it up, we might just take that cushy Division title away from you... and you can enjoy the wildcard.;) :lol

[saygoodbye12]

Well.. if we keep it up, we might just take that cushy Division title away from you... and you can enjoy the wildcard.;) :lol
Well it certainly helps that you play Tampa and then Baltimore. :p

That would be funny though. My hope for the playoffs is that all our starters can go 8 innings everytime.

And yours should be that when Pedro is pitching, they tie up Francona and pull Pedro out when he's done.

(I was in Boston this weekend and I really thought the fans were going to run down on the field and murder him...it was scary)

[greppson]

keeping pedro in was... ugh... but then today, he let schilling stay in and he got the job done. it's a toss up i guess. i think he feels that they can get themselves out of it. they're starters, their arguably some of the best pitchers in baseball.

but if i was francona, i'd be more cautious with pedro. there's been a couple times now where pedro has stayed in and blown it, or come close.

you're up against minnesota next... that could be rough. for us, we obviously saw that baltimore can gives us a run for our money at the last home series before the yanks... so, who knows. :)

congrats sox fans on the season series...I knew they were gonna take 2 of 3..but in my mind we won the most important game of the series...cause it could have easily been 1.5 games...but we got whooped...and for the comment above...dont the sox lead the majors in hit batters?

[FPrefect61]

3 of the top 4 pitchers in hit batsmen are Red Sox.

Arroyo 18
Wakefield 16
Pedro 15

[greppson]

but how many of those were intentional?

[FPrefect61]

18

15

:p

[greppson]

funny. :lol

[brydro]

but how many of those were intentional?

Im sure plenty, isnt Pedro known for all of this, isnt this his intimidation? arroyo Ill cut him some slack cause he's young and doesnt have the control, but Pedro is known to throw at batters...we should know...
