Boston Red Sox

[GavMan33]

momentum shifting game. all this late inning scoring

He could very well be right. That's why I don't throw Gagne here. Either Papelbon or Okajima. Don't risk giving up a couple runs with Gagne. You don't want Cleveland having ANY kind of momentum or good thoughts heading to the jungle.....

[SoRight24]

JD just smacked the shit out of that ball.

[chr35919]

ha...i just heard a let's go red sox chant

[justinandimcool]

Oh god I just realized they have Westbrook in game 7. That will be fun. :shrug

Please god let me see a game 7. Do not deprive me of such greatness.

[ProudestAnt]

This pitcher is REALLY cross-eyed...

[thebestauntie]

Nancy just smacked the shit out of that ball.
Yes.

[chr35919]

JD just smacked the shit out of that ball.yeah he just earned .00001% of his contract

[bothedmbfan]

Seriously? You pull him when he lets 3 runs score though right??

What are you getting at pig??


Good Night Bob!! :hug

He is impressive!! (no need to be jealous though! ;) )

Pig? PIG?! That hurt a little bit, you facist dog rapist. (Nothing but love for ya crazy lady)

[SoRight24]

Yes.

:lol :lol

He's better than Crisp or Lugo.

[justinandimcool]

I taped this game because I thought it was gonna be a clincher (as I always do with LCS clinchers). Should I keep it or no? I probably wouldn't watch it ever again. :lol

[PantalaNagaMan]

Yep.

Because the game still has 4 outs to be played.

[ProudestAnt]

If Coco does nothing here, he's gone next game...

[chr35919]

i pray that they don't hand out any of those fucking towels at fenway this weekend.

[SoRight24]

Hahahaha.

Coco you SUCK.

[SoRight24]

i pray that they don't hand out any of those fucking towels at fenway this weekend.

No way.

Fenway doesn't do the towel thing.

[chr35919]

If Coco does nothing here, he's gone next game...
:thumbsup

and imo, he'll be gone next season for sure.

[ProudestAnt]

i pray that they don't hand out any of those fucking towels at fenway this weekend. Me too...

[thebestauntie]

Pig? PIG?! That hurt a little bit, you facist dog rapist. (Nothing but love for ya crazy lady)
Awww, I wuv you too Bo! (you insensitive jerk) :hug
yeah he just earned .00001% of his contract
Which, sadly, is probably what I make in a year.
:lol :lol

He's better than Crisp or Lugo.
That's like saying root canal is better open heart surgery

[SoRight24]

Paps it is.....

[SoRight24]

Justin is allowed in here, because he is the most objective guy out there.

[thebestauntie]

I don't get it :shrug
I dunno, it sounded funny in my head!! But hey, it's late, I'm old and I'm blond, so who knows what's really going on in my head! :eek

Justin is allowed in here, because he is the most objective guy out there.

[ProudestAnt]

This kid's such a flamethrower...

[SoRight24]

This kid's such a flamethrower...

I love Paps. :thumbsup

[justinandimcool]

How many do you have?

All on VHS (apparently you can't record baseball to DVD):

Angels/Giants games 6-7

Clips of the NLCS game 7, not sure about game 6 (Bartman, I really hope I have it).

I think I have the last few innings of the Aaron Boone game (I was 12 back then, I remember having two tapes for 3 games, so I had to choose my innings).

I have Gonzalez's game 4 walk off homer against the Yankees in the 03 World Series (also had to choose my innings). And I got a full tape for all of game 6.

None of 04 :BANG. Good thing there's a box set out.

None of 05 :BANG

The clinching games of the 2006 ALCS/NLCS. All 5 World Series games.

For this year I have the Indians/Yankees clincher and the Rockies NLCS clincher.

[SoRight24]

Either way, win or lose this series, we don't have to hear that ridiculous drummer anymore.

That shit is getting annoying.

[justinandimcool]

Justin is allowed in here, because he is the most objective guy out there.

Aww :hug

[SoRight24]

Does Lofton ever think anything is a strike?

Jesus.

[justinandimcool]

The 2-1 pitch wasn't a strike, but yeah he's whined alot this series.

[justinandimcool]

Games 6 and 7 will by ca-razy. Yes, there will be 7.

[ProudestAnt]

*fist pump* Here we go Schill, prove you deserve a new contract...

[justinandimcool]

Through 5 games, this series has definitely lived up to the hype. Agree?

[SoRight24]

The 2-1 pitch wasn't a strike, but yeah he's whined alot this series.

I know that one wasn't, but yeah he has whined a TON.

[thebestauntie]

Can Beckett pitch on one days rest?? :lol

[SoRight24]

Another brilliant, brilliant performance by Beckett.

11 K's, one run.

Wow...

[ProudestAnt]

Can Beckett pitch on one days rest?? :lol Yes, I think he can...

[BreakFree27]

Back to Boston motha fuckas!

[dowling25]

gosh lofton is such a bitch. i can't believe any team likes him.

What a sick game, and performance from beckett. c'mon now schill!

[justinandimcool]

Josh Beckett is a reminder of why playoff baseball will never die.

[ProudestAnt]

<--Reason we'll win game 6...

[smeritt]

Does Lofton ever think anything is a strike?

Jesus.
the ump is clearly racist.....

[smeritt]

<--Reason we'll win game 6...Oh no you didnt just change Paplebon :twenty4

[SoRight24]

Alrighty Sox Nation.

We live another day.

On to Saturday night, from the friendly confines of Fenway.

LETS GO RED SOX!!!

[ProudestAnt]

Oh no you didnt just change Paplebon :twenty4 It was Beckett...;)

[smeritt]

Jesus when did you change from Paplebon. You confuse me

[thebestauntie]

Yes, I think he can...
Excellent! :monkey :lol
<--Reason we'll win game 6...
Yeah, umm, you said he would pwn the Indians last Saturday too, I just hope you're right this time!!

[ProudestAnt]

Excellent! :monkey :lol

Yeah, umm, you said he would pwn the Indians last Saturday too, I just hope you're right this time!! He did, for 4 innings...:freak

[chr35919]

killed it :hump

[smeritt]

Laurie you make me happy that I'm in your sig

[justinandimcool]

Lofton played for Philly?

Jesus, I feel like I missed the entire 05 season.

[ProudestAnt]

Jesus when did you change from Paplebon. You confuse me I honestly don't remember...:ugh

[thebestauntie]

He did, for 4 innings...:freak
:haha Well let's hope he lasts a lot longer this Saturday!!
Laurie you make me happy that I'm in your sig
Aww, that's sweet! (Pssst, Sean, it's actually Laurie-Ann or LA is fine too)

[SoRight24]

:lol :lol

They just showed Paps doing that dance.

I love that shit.

[smeritt]

I honestly don't pay enough attention. I'm glad Sportscenters first story was Torre. They make me laugh

[smeritt]

Aww, that's sweet! (Pssst, Sean, it's actually Laurie-Ann or LA is fine too)
Ok Laurie.

I call the shots in this relationship.






I'ma just kidding LA

[larrythelegend_]

You guys get a two day stay of execution, I love how the Sportscenter announcers are giving the Sox the series for winning one lousy game. You will get jack shit on Fausto, Go Tribe!!!

[TempHelpNeeded]

Papelbon dance was great. Can't wait for that on youtube.


Two more guys. Kevin Millar's Cowboy Up message brought memories of years a few ago. I am excited to take the series back to Fenway. These boys are pumped. And I am excited for Ellsbury to get some action. Coco hasn't been of much help.

[LaDude]

Um....last time I checked Fausto didn't last 5 innings at Fenway. He hasn't proved to me that he is a big game pitcher. Schilling has a few times. The series is back at what it should be...assuming teams win their home games.
You guys had your chance....now your fucked. Tribe Time is about to Expire!

[GavMan33]

I got some things to take up....

-Josh Beckett is a tool. The pitch to Lofton that got called a strike was, in my opinion, a ball. But again, we don't argue balls and strikes. But there's no need to start screaming shit at the guy when you have him out. And I guess, according to SC, it's happened before. The guy is just a straight douchebag

-Good decision by Francona last night to give the ball to Papelbon in the ninth to shut the door. If the Indians score a couple runs in the 9th, they have some good thoughts and a little momentum. Right now they are not in great shape, and it's even worse leaving home going to Boston.

-Tito had some great things to say about Joe Torre last night. I did think it was awfully inappropriate of the writers keep asking about Torre. The Yankees are gone, Tito's team is still playing.

Made me think, I really don't hate a lot of people on Boston's team. I think a lot of them really fit into the Boston stereotype that I have, which is why I keep it. I really don't like Ramirez, and am still amazed that through all these years the Boston hierarchy just puts up with it. As I've said, Beckett's a punk. Schilling's a punk who just wants to hear himself talk, and is truly in love with himself. There are other guys; Varitek one name that comes to mind, Youkilis another.

But in reality, I really don't have such a problem with the Red Sox with their personnel right now. And if it's possible, I don't want anyone to take offense to this, because I like a lot of the regular posters around here, and I think our relationship is good. But the Boston fans just really get to me....

:thumbsup :thumbsup

I agree with everything you said except for Beckett, I mean yes, he can be a dick, but Lofton has been asking for shit all series.

And the fans are usually what fuel these rivalries, is hatred for the other teams fans, not the players.

I see nothing wrong with Beckett screeming "OUT" after Kenny popped up. He didn't swear at him...he yelled "OUT". Kenny on the other hand couldn't take it and ran his month the entire way to first base.

At least he didn't pull an A-Rod and yell "Got It" to the third baseman of the other team....now that was a classless thing to.

That is funny because I feel the same way about Yankees fans. It just comes down to whatever side of the bleachers you sit on. Always has, always will IMO. Now I may be confused but were you calling out Varitek and the Youk? I think those two are great athletes and sportsman so I'm not trying to be a jerk, just trying to understand where you are coming from.

Ladude, that's really funny, because as I was reading your first paragraph, that's exactly what I was thinking. Guess I was reading your mind :lol

You're right, it does come down to whose side you're on. And yes, I have some issues with Varitek and Youkilis as well. I just think they're both dirty players, just want to jaw all over the field. Excuse me for not letting some things go, but that altercation in 04 is still fresh in my mind. There's no reason for Varitek to get in the middle of ARod and Arroyo. I know you're not trying to be a jerk, neither am I. Like I said, I think we're able to coexist around here for the most part.

Lofton is a classless player, he deserved for Beckett to say something to him both times. Not as much the first time, but def last night.

And it was CLEARLY a strike.

It's called defending your team/pitcher when you're the captain. Something Jeter should learn how to do. Better yet, the whole Yankees team just isn't very good at protecting their players, so their fans certainly wouldnt understand when our Red Sox captain defends our players.

Defending him from what? Correct me if I am wrong here but A-Rod was going to first base bitching, certainly didn't appear he was going after Arroyo. That is what guys who think they got hit on purpose do if they are not looking for a fight by charging the mound. A-Rod was not charging the mound so why would Arroyo need defending?

When a guy gets hit and thinks it is on purpose you let him bitch all the way to the base, there is no sense at all in further pissing off a player who just got plunked and that is what Varitek did. That is the way baseball goes. There was no reason for Varitek to follow him down the line, no reason to taunt Rodriguez who was pissed off already, and certainly no reason to start a fight.

The only remotely 'captainlike' thing that could have been construed out of that was Varitek trying to light a fire under his team, other than that it was just bush. I honestly used to like Varitek a lot before that, now I think he's a little bitch who I hope struggles for the rest of his career.

If making a mountain out of a molehill and starting a fight is defending your players I sure as hell hope the Yankees never start that.

Where did the Cleveland fans go?

[thebestauntie]

yeah but they are annoying. stay to there own thread to complain!
Nah, I like it when the Cleveland (or any other) fans come in, makes a little more, umm, spicy I gues.
Where did the Cleveland fans go?
They are probably doing something productive with their day, like working. :lol:lol:lol

As for Beckett and others being tools, well the same can be said for many players out there. We can spend hours going back and forth over who we think are jerks and why. Personally I think they are all self-centered, egotistical, megalomaniacal, jerks. They couldn't care one whit what we thought about them. They do care that we spend our money on games, TV Sports Packages, video games, etc., etc. If you believe for one second that any single player out there is doing just "for the love of the game", you are more naive than I am.

So is Beckett a tool? Yes, and so is Lofton, and Varitek, and Youk, and all the rest. But still, we love to watch them play, and that's why we are all here in this forum! :D

I think it's very telling how different the perceptions of the A-Rod,V-Tek brawl are between Red Sox and Yankees fans. I'm not saying you are wrong and we are right but when I see footage of that game it appears to be that A-Rod bit off more than he could chew. I actually went back and watched the video to be sure. Arroyo plunks A-Rod, to which A-Rod takes exception. Upon making his way to 1st, A-Rod keeps screaming "Fuck You" to Arroyo to which Varitek takes exception. Varitek then walks in and tells A-Rod to move it to first. At this point A-Rod turns toward Varitek and starts challenging him to "come on" and "let's go". You can see a bit of an "Oh shit" expression on A-Rod's face when he sees Varitek taking him up on his invitation. I don't feel that Varitek was unprovoked so I'm not sure why so many people can consider him "bush" league for this. IMO.

This is the first night in a week there is no Boston sports on.....

For you Bruins / Rangers fans they moved the game time up to 4PM tomorrow because of the Sox.

Beckett on his ex singing the Anthem!

Great Stuff!!!

[GavMan33]

whats your stereotype
Fun Loving Guys who are a bit Crazy and Rough looking?

Lofton is a classless player, he deserved for Beckett to say something to him both times. Not as much the first time, but def last night.

And it was CLEARLY a strike.

And should we talk about all the Yankees who are tools?

dude He is one of a Few Yankee Fans who been Posting in here all Season and a few of Sox Fans been Posting in the Yankee's Thread its called being Sportman like

Coming in here to talk about what a tool all the Sox players are is NOT sportsmanlike at all actually.

First off, I gotta thank Jamie for helping me out, and answering a question that was posed. I appreciate it buddy :thumbsup

Actually, you're really not that far off (Greg is it? I think?). I don't know, it's hard to explain. I'm sure you guys understand, apparently the other way around.

Again Ryan, I don't like to argue balls and strikes; managers get thrown out for that, so I don't really like to go there. To me it was at the knees, but off the plate inside. At the very least, you can say it was borderline. No way you can say "clearly"

And I think you're allowed to talk about the Yankees who you portray as "tools." I came in here, unprovoked, and gave my thoughts. I think you're able to do the same thing.

Again, Greg (again, I hope :lol ) has something nice to say. I have been in here a lot, and I try not to start fights, and I don't think I do. I try and have intelligent conversation about baseball, which I think we do. As I've said, I like most of the people around here, and I think they like me.

Again, gonna give an opinion. I think if you did come in the Yankee thread and address some of the stuff I have, I think you would be jumped all over. But there's a difference between you and I. You have repeatedly shown yourself to be someone that is just out to start problems. Your posts are almost expressly negative, always. I hope (and I think) that I'm able to come in here and post some of this stuff openly; and as some of the people in here have, they ask why, questions, etc. And I answer their questions, without starting problems.

THAT is the difference

These Yankee fans cant admit anything, they come in here bitching making fun of Beckett like GavMan, and then I defend my team, and his fellow Yankee fans come in here throwing in their 2 cents, or in thomhudsons case, 1 cent...

People are welcome to chime in whenever they chose so long as they adhere to board rules. You're welcome to a Sox-centric point of view if you like but try not to get all bent out of shape if someone questions your interpretation of something that happened. People other than Sox fans have opinions on their players and actions as well, seems like a rather normal place to discuss them. No need to get defensive.

:lol you're getting mad at the internets
calm down dude. it's just a message board.

edit: and i've seen you sling plenty of shit in the yanks thread, so come off it.

[ProudestAnt]

Defending him from what? Correct me if I am wrong here but A-Rod was going to first base bitching, certainly didn't appear he was going after Arroyo. That is what guys who think they got hit on purpose do if they are not looking for a fight by charging the mound. A-Rod was not charging the mound so why would Arroyo need defending?

When a guy gets hit and thinks it is on purpose you let him bitch all the way to the base, there is no sense at all in further pissing off a player who just got plunked and that is what Varitek did. That is the way baseball goes. There was no reason for Varitek to follow him down the line, no reason to taunt Rodriguez who was pissed off already, and certainly no reason to start a fight.

The only remotely 'captainlike' thing that could have been construed out of that was Varitek trying to light a fire under his team, other than that it was just bush. I honestly used to like Varitek a lot before that, now I think he's a little bitch who I hope struggles for the rest of his career.

If making a mountain out of a molehill and starting a fight is defending your players I sure as hell hope the Yankees never start that. In Varitek's defense, all he said was "shut your mouth and get to first." A-Rod did a bit of a stop and bitch, so Tek was just trying to get him to go down the line. A-Rod turned and the to confronted one another, A-Rod gave him the ol' "let's go" and Tek went. I don't think one player can be blamed for the issue...

it's also rumored that 'tek said something along the lines of 'we don't throw at .250 hitters' which may have set a-rod off even more

'tek denies it, but it's hilarious to think about

If I went into the Yankees thread and did exactly what GavMan did (just calling all the Sox players tools) I would be crucified.

It's a fact. And it's pathetic.

I've seen yo ufreak out on me before for the same thing that GavMan just did. I'm just dishing it back. If I went into the Yankee thread to talk about who I think is a tool on your team, you would freak out.

And I'm not mad, I just laugh at the hypocrisy that reeks from some of you...

If I ever decide to go into that Yankees thread again, which I probably won't cause I choose to not deal with that crap anymore, I will expect you to let go of being such a hypcrite. Thanks.

I wouldnt say anything if it worked both ways.

Don't say anything when I make comments about the Yankees then. I felt it was fair for me to say something since whenever I say something similar about the Yankees you guys freak out.

[LaDude]

where'd you hear that?

The Red Sox lineup has been posted and rookie Jacoby Ellsbury will replace Coco Crisp and bat eighth, according to radio station WEEI.

More to come.

I was talking about the past....

[dowling25]

cool news with ellsbury. lets hope he makes a difference tonight!

[iammine]

to confirm what has already been said...
There was just a press conference with tito saying ellsbury is starting tonight


off to the bar for the night


go sox!

OK Ryan, gonna give it one more try. And I apologize to you all in here trying to get your pregame talk on; let me address this issue, then it's gametime :thumbsup

Ryan, I pointed out the difference to you why I feel confident posting things like I did in this thread. I feel that I am very positive in here, I don't cause trouble, regardless of who my allegiance is to. You have such a bad reputation from your past, that no one takes you seriously. You have tried to fix this by going under different usernames, etc. But your true, negative self always shines through.

So, to sum up just before gametime, I have legitimacy. Nobody in here "freaked out" when I said what I said; to me, it was a legit conversation between myself and one or two others, never became negative. You do not have legitimacy, not even among your fellow Red Sox fans.

Sorry to all, hopefully he gets it this time. Let's play ball, happy game watching this evening :thumbsup

[SoRight24]

Please please win this game.

[GavMan33]

Please please win this game.

I gotta say, I just can't bring myself to go out to a bar to watch this game. I mean I guess I could; it's just something like this isn't a celebration, and I can't afford to spend money for the beer I'll drink at the bar when I really don't care so much. And in reality, I got a cooler right next to me full of Miller Lite, so I'm set :lol

Congrats on trying to call me out, and be passive aggressive with your insults towards me. I don't care at all what your opinion is man. I've asked you nicely several times to leave me the hell alone with your passive agressive attitude towards me, and you pretend to say you'll do it, but you never do. I don't want to deal with you anymore so don't even bother.

[BellybuttonKid]

Good start for Schill!

[BellybuttonKid]

Wow, Cleveland has absolutely folded. Unbelievable what's going on right now. I saw the Yankees botch a rundown earlier this year in Toronto, but I've never seen anyone throw the ball off the runner's head before :lol

[BellybuttonKid]

With our bats exploding tonight, I wish it were Dice K pitching tonight and Schill tomorrow...

[thebestauntie]

With our bats exploding tonight, I wish it were Dice K pitching tonight and Schill tomorrow...
We'd need the runs for either pitcher I think. I just hope they dont' run out of offense tonight!

I said the same thing!! Save some for tomorrow boys!

[chr35919]

i'm really happy westbrook is going for the tribe tomorrow and not bird

[SoRight24]

You guys get a two day stay of execution, I love how the Sportscenter announcers are giving the Sox the series for winning one lousy game. You will get jack shit on Fausto, Go Tribe!!!

:rolleyes :rolleyes

:lol :lol

Good call, there.

[GavMan33]

i'm really happy westbrook is going for the tribe tomorrow and not bird

Interesting how opinions change. At the beginning of the postseason, in Game 4 vs. the Yankees, everybody just assumed the Yanks would tee off on him. Then the same thing when the Red Sox faced him. Now this is the opinion, and I'm sure you're not the only one who feels this way. Just shows how much respect he has earned this postseason.

Now, question. Last year, Jeff Weaver had a very good postseason, got a big deal, and busted. Does maybe the same happen to Byrd?

[thebestauntie]

But Westbrook shut the Sox down last time he pitched, why is everyone so glad it's him and not Byrd pitching tomorrow?

[GavMan33]

Two things, same issue.

The Indians Shortstop Peralta is just awful. Time and time again, in both series this postseason, he is so lazy, just kinda tossing the ball to first, maybe getting the runner, maybe not. I just don't like the way he plays the position at all.

On the other side of it, I'm really impressed with Dustin Pedroia at 2nd base. He makes every play, he bounces right up off the ground, and hurries that ball over to 1st, on the money. Really good 2B :thumbsup

[BellybuttonKid]

Where are all the lovely Indians fans?


Pantala?

[DMBfan41]

it sickens me that the red sox are gonna come back again, unbelievable. I won't say they deserve it. But damn. They should not have had a day off in between games 4 and 5 and then another day off in between 5 and 6.

I agree with the schedule of the playoffs. I don't see the point of having Games 1 and 2, travel day, 3 and 4, travel day, 5, day off, 6 and 7.

And I thought even worse is how they did the first round this year. Now it never came into play because no series went 5 games, but if it did, there would have been a day off between Games 4 and 5. I liked it with no day off, I thought it should've stayed that way.

[SoRight24]

Yeah, suddenly they aren't being assholes, they have just disappeared.

Started the celebration a little early, and now its coming back to bite them in the ass.

You agree it doesn't make sense? Or you don't understand what I said? The way this series worked was....

In Boston: Games 1 and 2, back-to-back
Then a day off
In Cleveland: Games 3 and 4, back-to-back. Then there was a day off, then Game 5.
Then another day off
In Boston: Games 6 and 7, back-to-back

In my opinion, there should have been days off only when the teams had to travel

Okay, that makes more sense. You through a travel day in there where it didn't belong the first time around, that's why I was confused.

So yes, I agree with you that they shouldn't have a day off if they arent' traveling. They play three days in a row during the season all the time.

I do like the Bruins...but my favorite team is the Rangers so today was not that awesome for me at the game...however, I love Phil Kessel and after he scored I was trying hard no to cheer (since I was wearing a Rangers Jersey haha).

[dowling25]

Drew is a master dude~

well dice-k needs to shut them down tomorrow.

[LaDude]

Go Sox!

Great game tonight!!

I met Dane Cook tonight at Fenway. Nice guy!

[smeritt]

How would Red Sox nation feel if Yansk outbid them for Schill?

I would laugh if you guys spent that much on another old player.

[smeritt]

Another older player who is 4-0 in 5 career elimination games 33 ks a 5 walks. I can't think of many other pitchers I would want to have the ball with the game on the line

Have at it.

We can just replace him with Bucholz.

Spending that kind of money on someone who is clearly at the twilight of his career just to bring in a big name and spite the Red Sox is one of the reasons the Yankees and not won a Championship since '00. Ever since '04 it has become personal for you guys...the Yankees should stop worrying about what the Red Sox are doing and start just doing their own thing. If the Red Sox were not competitive I bet it would not be as big of a deal that the Yankees are not winning championships. I think that because the Sox are good the Yankees feel shown up and are trying to do what ever they can to 1 up the Sox...and so far it is not working. Thats just how I view it.

Ex: Sox want A-Rod...Yankees get him, Sox get Schill from Arizona...Yankees get Randy Johnson, Sox beat Yankees with Damon...Yankees get Damon.

it just goes on and on.

Exactly...

Actually, the Sox wanted Vasquez so the Yankees went after him just to keep him from us, so we went ahead and got Schilling instead, that made out for us a bit better huh? ....Same with Pavano, except we ended up with Clement, so that was a wash...But at least Clement pitched in 34 games over 3 seasons compared to Pavano's 19.

But yeah, I'mn pretty glad that we are doing our own thing and we don't really concern ourselves with what the Yankees do.

I can't think of many other pitchers I would want to have the ball with the game on the line How about the guy I'd rather have the ball? And who happens to be on our team, Beckett? A Schilling who throws 89-91 isn't a Schilling worth having. He only pitched well tonight because the offense gave him a cushion.

I'm drunk as fuck. My buddies and I decided to be smartasses and say we would need EVERY run tonight so we did a jagerbomb for every run the Sox scored. After the beer for pre-game, I was hammered after the Drew homer. Very messy night tonight. Sushi and sake for tomorrow night's game with Sakebombs for every Sox run!!:thumbsup

You honestly think Theo doesnt think about what the Yankees do? Because if you really believe that your retarded. Theo has just been smarter. Ill give the Sox that but the Sox care just as much about what the Yankees do. They have just been smarter and luckier.

I don't think a fat paycheck would get Schilling to the Yanks. He said he wouldn't play for them, and I know that Damon said the same thing. The difference with Schilling is, he's talked about how he'd like to play in either Philly (for sentimental reasons) or Tampa (to bestow his knowledge on the youngsters.) This is a guy who seems to care more about baseball and what he can add to the game, rather than how much money he can make. Plus, he's his own agent, so there's no high-money/Boras factor in this one.

Actually, I agree with you to a point, you make some very valid points. I also think the Yankee owner does do things just to try to 1-up the Red Sox. My biggest example is just this past offseason. The Red Sox throw a boatload of money at Japan's best pitcher, Matsuzaka. The Yankee owner has a knee-jerk reaction, and has to get somebody from Japan also, so he throws a boatload of money at Igawa, even though he is a far inferior pitcher.

I don't so much agree that it's ever since 2004, I don't think the Red Sox winning the World Series has so much to do with it. Maybe some, but I definitely don't think a lot. And I don't agree with the "if the Red Sox weren't good it wouldn't matter as much" theory. The Yankees have been World Series-or-bust for quite awhile, Torre said as much at his press conference the other day.

And Ryan, way to go kid! Way to go to that bar and man up! My best if 9 double-shots of Goldschlager in the period of about 3 hours. I ended up breaking my toe that night, but it didn't hurt until I woke up at 5am with an indescribable pain :lol

[groton]

Yep Ryan did Cowboy up last night

Nice to see the Crazy Millar throwing out the first pitch and Drop Kick Murphy's National Anthem Just what we need to fire up the Fenway Faithfull

LETS GO REDSOX

[dowling25]

i am excited to see millar throw out the first pitch tonight. hopefully that pumps up the sox and the fans.

[Hudak-Budak]

Just so you guys know, I haven't run away at the first signs of strife in the Indians' post season. I'm on vacation (heading to Italy tomorrow) and won't have much time to stop in either way. So, if Boston wins, you guys mounted a hell of a comeback and I give you all the propers you deserve. If the Indians win, just assume I would say something boastful and classless.

Have a good rest of the post season (which I hope only includes tonight).

Peace.

[SoRight24]

hour and 40 until gametime baby.

LETS GO RED SOX!!!!

World Series trip on the line tonight.

[jmudmbphan]

How confident are you all in DiceK for a game 7 spot?

[ProudestAnt]

How confident are you all in DiceK for a game 7 spot? I'm confident knowing Beckett will be ready for relief...

The Damon grand slam.
St. Louis, Houston, St. Louis in 04-05-06
The Marlins in 03 was fan-fuckin-tastic.

Tonight's game has alot of competition.

[LaDude]

I Love Kevin Millar!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[justinandimcool]

26 outs to the World Series!

[justinandimcool]

Travis Hafner just went A-Rod.

[SoRight24]

Dice-K looks NICE tonight.

[justinandimcool]

You know who looks REALLY nice?



Grade Sizemore :hump





Base hit. Indians are done.

[justinandimcool]

The past three Indians starters have zero composure. Who says the experience factor is overrated? Sometimes it means everything.

[SoRight24]

Damnit Papi!

Here we go Manny!

[justinandimcool]

They just sucked the heart out of this Cleveland team.

[SoRight24]

Hell yeah Mike!

Bases loaded for JD AGAIN!

Lets repeat last night baby!

[DMBtheStoned]

Indians are playing like they don't want to win this game..

[justinandimcool]

There's the JD we all know and don't love.

[SoRight24]

Fuck!

Double play.

[SoRight24]

Ahhh well, he came through last night.

We are on the board at least!

[LaDude]

I'll give JD one pass because of his night last night. No more DPs!!!!

[justinandimcool]

$20 says JD is the final out with bases loaded :lol

[SoRight24]

Just give me 4 or 5 innings Dice-K.

[justinandimcool]

Good god the Indians suck.

[SoRight24]

Another PERFECT inning baby!

Dice-K motherfuckers!

[SoRight24]

HELL YEAH TEK!!!!

I thought that was gone.

[justinandimcool]

Get CC out there! I don't want this great event to be a blowout.

Westbrook needs to hurt himself.

[SoRight24]

Fucking Lugo, how many DP's can you fucking hit into?

Granted it scores a run, but shit!
