Boston Red Sox

[rickyh24]

That's why I like to be on here while watching the game, I pay way less attention to the stupid announcers when I'm surfing Ants during a game.

They fricken better win tonight, I cannot take another 1:30am ending day!!!

I don't know what you are talking about the game was done by 10:30.

[thebestauntie]

I don't know what you are talking about the game was done by 10:30.
Shut up you! :p

[rickyh24]

:lol

[thebestauntie]

Where the heck were you last night anyway? Couldn't even be bothered to post from your phone :mad

[rickyh24]

I kept falling asleep during the game. Long weekend. I'm a pretty good poster but I haven't figured out how to do it while sleeping yet.

what I woke up and the game was in the 5th.
I fell asleep with like 3 mins to go in the 49ers vs pats game.

I then passed out for good in the 11th inning.. so I did not know the outcome till this morning.

[dmbgodagirl41]

LA: I slept through every game but the last 3 innings of the WS last year.

To be fair, I was pumped full of Oxycontin.

I'm giving Ricky grief because he lives in Vegas now and is 3 hours behind us, he has no excuse for falling asleep!

[LaDude]

I'll admit I fell asleep last night too. Nothing like waking up at 3AM on the couch to Billy Mays screaming about the Awesome Auger!

[DavefaninNZ]

Hopefully Lester will be in fine form tonight. :thumbsup

[SoRight24]

He usually is at home. :thumbsup

[rickyh24]

1.5 hours. Lets go Jon.

[SoRight24]

I guess those West Coast traitors have to watch it at 5 in the evening. ;)

[dowling25]

I hate to say this but we need to sit Lowell. He isn't helping but hurting.

[rickyh24]

^^ :lol Silly east coaster. Couldn't work out any better since I work at 11.

[JGil584]

Hopefully Lester will be in fine form tonight. :thumbsup


i'm not worried about lester. he's at home...it's gonna be a pitching duel and i'm excited. papi needs to do something...

[sugarwontpoison]

i'm not worried about lester. he's at home...it's gonna be a pitching duel and i'm excited. papi needs to do something...

i agree, papi needs to wake up his bat. maybe jobu can help him.

[thebestauntie]

I hate to say this but we need to sit Lowell. He isn't helping but hurting.He has been taken off the LDS Roster. Thankfully. http://boston.redsox.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20081006&content_id=3598480&vkey=news_bos&fext=.jsp&c_id=bos

[SoRight24]

The Rays are about to advance.

[sugarwontpoison]

fuck

[rickyh24]

0-14 Mr. MVP.

[neumdogg]

Who would you guys rather face in the WS: My Dodgers or the phillies?

[rickyh24]

Phillies

[TheTallOne]

Revengewise: Dodgers

Easy Series Win: Phillies

[thebestauntie]

Dustin didn't look very happy after that last at bat.

[DavefaninNZ]

Lester's thrown quite a bit of pitches so far. :shrug

[rickyh24]

Same spot twice in a row ball first time, strike second time. This ump is a douche.

[rickyh24]

Hey look who's back!!!

[DavefaninNZ]

Pedroia, finally!!!!

[ProudestAnt]

Lester's throwing another gem. He's making a case to be our ace next season...

[ProudestAnt]

Lackey looks like he's retarded...

[ProudestAnt]

Why let Tek bat there? I say bunt Lowrie over and put some pressure on...

[ProudestAnt]

I'm not a fan of Okie here...

[DavefaninNZ]

^^:thumbsup

^ You should see his pic on ESPN.com. He looks like he works at a Shell station.

[ProudestAnt]

There's something in the air tonight. Does everyone smell it?

[ProudestAnt]

I'm talking to myself again. All you nancies who were too tired from last night, damn you...

[Number27]

Lester's throwing another gem. He's making a case to be our ace next season...
He's being a beast. Maybe he should have that name instead of Marshawn Lynch.

[ProudestAnt]

Christ, Vlad can tie it here...

[ProudestAnt]

Here comes the Master...

[rickyh24]

ohh god

[ProudestAnt]

:lol Damn you Los...

[Number27]

I didn't do shit! :lol

[rickyh24]

ok lets move the ball of the plate a bit

[ProudestAnt]

Come on Masterson, just put the ball over the plate and let them play behind you...

[rickyh24]

what the fuck

[ProudestAnt]

Come on big daddy, just relax...

[rickyh24]

here we go

[ProudestAnt]

wtf Tek?

[rickyh24]

awesome

[ProudestAnt]

Come on Masterson, throw the yacker...

[rickyh24]

messed up sign obviously but he still should catch that ball.

[rickyh24]

I cant deal with this shit

[rickyh24]

fuck this. had Vladi 0-2. fuck you masterson. grow some balls.

[rickyh24]

Lester could have just blown his own game. What a waste.

[Whiteyxc514]

Another pitching performance wasted:BANG

Papelbon last night, Lester tonight :shrug

[rickyh24]

Ortiz looks like crap up there.

[rickyh24]

Well I'm going to lay down before work and watch the bullpen finish off blowing this fucking game.

[BonerJam]

Masterson can never have an easy inning can he? Always has to make shit difficult....

Man I don't have a lot of confidence in him in meaninful situations...

[rickyh24]

Nice work Masterson.





























Douche.

[MistreatedLewis]

I'm not a fan of Okie here...

Why did Terry take him out?

[rickyh24]

:lol'z

[specialkd24]

Holy shit! Nice play by the Captain.

[rickyh24]

I just would have thrown Lester one more. At least let him start the 8th. I don't care how many pitches he threw. He was in control of the game.

[rickyh24]

what a horrible managerial decision to squeeze there. Especially in a game of this importance.

[rickyh24]

wow they got lucky there

[rickyh24]

fuck yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!

[rickyh24]

I'm kinda surprised Crisp wasn't running for Bay but whatever it doesn't matter.

[rickyh24]

Congrats! Did you ever doubt it for a minute? :)

I didn't, but some people did......

And they consistently lost to both the Angels and the Rays after that Ricky. I would love be to wrong on this, but I really don't have much hope that the Sox will get past the Angels.

Hello 2008, they ass raped the fuck out of you almost every game you played.

They have little pitching. Pitching wins championships. Do the math...

Angels in 4...

Beckett takes things at home, but no way we win this series...

[specialkd24]

I was getting nervous. If we had blown this game, I would have dreaded a flight across country for Game 5.

[ProudestAnt]

Jason Bay is a one man wrecking crew...

[justinandimcool]

:lol

God the Angels are a waste of life.

[MistreatedLewis]

Rays V Sox - stoked for this series. This will be some good baseball.

[ProudestAnt]

Seriously though, how big was this guy in this series? He brought life to this team...

[rickyh24]

God damn this shit is stressful. I pretty glad I get to go to work not pissed at the world now.

[matthewdaves187]

I hope Tampa creams them (I'm an Angels fan). Stupid Willits!!!!!!!! Two bad plays in a row. I hate the Red Sox!!!!!!!!!

[ProudestAnt]

I can't get over how we constantly have guys stepping up in the playoffs. Last season it was Beckett and Ellsbury. This year it's Lester, Bay and Lowrie. Christ...

[rickyh24]

:lol The " I like baseball sign" is back.

[rickyh24]

I hope Tampa creams them (I'm an Angels fan). Stupid Willits!!!!!!!! Two bad plays in a row. I hate the Red Sox!!!!!!!!!

some quality World Series matchups there :thumbsup

none of which have occured before, correct?

[specialkd24]

Not looking past Tampa ... but a Sox/Dodgers World Series would be great. Manny vs. the Sox.

[rickyh24]

Red Sox vs. Phillies please.


Although it would be nice to beat another L.A team. Thats always fun.

[rickyh24]

Games don't start until Friday either huh? Thats great.

Sox in 5

[rickyh24]

I jumped up and nailed my head on a chandelier when Kotsay hit that line drive. I thought that was the game. I have a pretty good sized bump on the top of my head. Didn't really feel it until just now.

Night Ricky :hug

I'll talk to ya in the morning.

[specialkd24]

Let's talk probable pitching matchups.

Dice-K/Beckett vs. Shields/Kazmir for Game 1. What do you think? Dice-K is 9-0 on the road this season and will be rested. Beckett would have 4 days rest, but wasn't sharp the last time out, so maybe you throw him.

[matthewdaves187]

I honestly thought the Angels were the better team but lost because of stupid mistakes here and there, and the mental toughness that the Redsox had on the Angels was a huge factor too. Would have been fun to see it go back to Anaheim but oh well, sure wish the Angels would gone out and picked up Manny Ramirez this might have turned out entirely different, maybe in the off season they can coax him over from the Dodgers.

[rickyh24]

The Sox never would have traded Manny to another American League team.

[SoRight24]

Angels? Check

Rays up next!

Thank you Jed Lowrie. :bounce

[thebestauntie]

Never doubted them. :leroi

[LaDude]

That was another fantastic game! I had a bad feeling when Lester didn’t start the 8th and I had almost given up hope when Willits was on 3rd with one out. I can’t believe Aybar wiffed on the bunt! And I don’t know what Scioscia was thinking running a suicide squeeze in that situation! I called a Jay Bay walkoff at the start of the bottom of the 9th and I thought he was going to have an inside the park for a quick second! That would have been awesome! Still, great ending to the game! I can’t wait for this series with the Rays! So much bad blood between these two teams! Shields better watch out for Coco!! He almost got KTFO!! I have tickets to all 3 ALCS home games! I can’t wait!

it's nuts

4 years ago, after the runs scored in the 8th, fenway would have been almost catatonic. In fact, it was after timlin gave up the grand slam to vlad if i remember correctly.

Last night, there was a brief scare, but when 'tek ran down willits (how he did this i'm still not sure)there was a feeling of 'ok, that's over, no way we're losing now' in the air. it was nuts. Amazing what a few championships can do. no wonder people hate boston now.

regardless, go sox!
(and thank you ebay for your home plate seats two hours before gametime!)

[seekup41nancies]

Two late nights and 1.5 heart attacks later, we're on to the ALCS!!

[dowling25]

Manny is so good. He just crushed that fastball to dead center. If only he would have played like this in Boston and had a better attitude. Boston would have been the shoo in to repeat.

[sugarwontpoison]

No shit, it's a whole new ManRam out there in LA, he's actually playing well in the field too.

[SoRight24]

Man do I miss his bat.

I don't miss his attitude though....

[rickyh24]

I'm more than Happy with Jason Bay. Manny was done after this year and who knows who would be in left field next year without that trade.

[SoRight24]

Let's get this ALCS party started!

[specialkd24]

Hopefully we can get off to a good start and those stupid Tampa fans can stick those cowbells up their ass.

[LaDude]

Hopefully we can get off to a good start and those stupid Tampa fans can stick those cowbells up their ass.

Bunch of bandwagon fans! Remember when the only thing you could hear at a Rays game was ex WWF Wrestler Brian "Nasty" Knobs.

[specialkd24]

Unlucky bounce for us on Youks hit, but Dice-K works out of a jam in the bottom of the inning.

We need some early runs.

[thebestauntie]

Who's got the Nitro pills and smelling salts for the inning? :lol

[specialkd24]

Dice-K is in the groove now ... now let's put some runs on the board!

[specialkd24]

Nice job Mr. Lowrie.

1-0. Let's get another.

[thebestauntie]

Good job Bay and Kotsay as well. (not so much for Varitek)

[Tomato42]

anyone have world series game 1 or 2 tickets they want to trade for really nice game 7 tickets?

[DreamingTree#41]

Daisuke Matsuzaka will never throw a Perfect Game due to walks

[specialkd24]

WTF? They go to the commercial and the announcer says "no-hitter through 5". You don't ever mention the no-hitter. Come on.

[DreamingTree#41]

Thats the beauty of TBS

[thebestauntie]

Everybody mentions it. I remember Remy and Orsillo mentioning it for Bucholz and Lester's no hitter during the game. It's not the 'taboo' it once was.

[specialkd24]

I always thought you could allude to it without using the words "no hitter." I think that is what DO and JR did during Lester's , at least I thought they did. Maybe I'm just imagining things.

[thebestauntie]

I always thought you could allude to it without using the words "no hitter." I think that is what DO and JR did during Lester's , at least I thought they did. Maybe I'm just imagining things.I can't say for certain they said that exact phrasing, but it was certainly similar enough.

Hey here we go, lets get some more runs!!

Iwamura is a monster!

[specialkd24]

Dice-K ... fuck yeah.

[ProudestAnt]

YES! Fuck yes!

[ProudestAnt]

This was the outing I was talking about with Dice-K. A lot of walks, a lot of pitches, but they manned up behind him and he saved the pen...

[specialkd24]

Yoooooooooooooouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuukkkkkkkkkkkkkk.

[ProudestAnt]

Dude was a machine tonight. God did we need an outing like that in game one...

[ProudestAnt]

Are you fucking serious right now?

[ProudestAnt]

Could have used one more run there, but we'll see...

[ProudestAnt]

Letting him go 8 after 108 pitches...

[ProudestAnt]

Here's where that 3rd run becomes important...

[ProudestAnt]

I'm talking to myself again...

[ProudestAnt]

That saved a run...

[ProudestAnt]

He probably faced two batters too many...

[ProudestAnt]

Okie scares the shit out of me this year...

[ProudestAnt]

Christ...

[specialkd24]

I wouldn't have started Dice in the 8th. Or I would have taken him out after the 1st batter.

Another nice catch by J.D. against a hard sight line.

[ProudestAnt]

That was unbelievably big...

[specialkd24]

Masterson hell yeah! Let's get another run and then turn it over to Paps.

[ProudestAnt]

Oh baby...

[ProudestAnt]

Tito hits an other-worldly level when the playoffs roll around...

[ProudestAnt]

I hate Varitek way more than I should hate a player on my favorite team...

[specialkd24]

I hate Varitek way more than I should hate a player on my favorite team...

Offensively he has been bad. But what he brings to the team as far as catching and calling the game for the pitchers, is priceless.

[ProudestAnt]

He ruined Clay, don't kid yourself...

[ProudestAnt]

Time to bring in the hammer...

[ProudestAnt]

Screw all of you for leaving me here by myself btw...

[ProudestAnt]

Paps is on...

[ProudestAnt]

What's nice about Dice-K's outing tonight is that Beckett can go into tomorrow with confidence knowing he's got the bullpen there if he needs them. Very little pressure for him tomorrow...

[specialkd24]

1-0 with Josh on Saturday. I LOVE it.

[ProudestAnt]

Could we have asked for more from Dice-K?

[ProudestAnt]

How about it though? 7+IP, 3 H, 4 BB, 9 K, 0 ER...

[thebestauntie]

Nice! I'm going to bed! :multi:multi:multi:multi

[specialkd24]

And they shut up those annoying Tampa fans. They were so rude to me when I was there in July. I wish I could be there now.

[specialkd24]

So Paps is now at 20.2 scoreless playoff inning ... a new record to start a career?

[SoRight24]

Boy can Dice-K pitch out of a jam, or what?

[rickyh24]

Boy can Dice-K pitch out of a jam, or what?

Works out well since he is damn good at getting in them.

[ProudestAnt]

How big of a man is Jason fucking Bay?

WHY FUCKING MATT TIMLIN really WHY HIM of all players on the team.....

[dowling25]

That is what I was thinking. Who did we still have in the bullpen. I was drunk and really didn't watch all that much. It was our homecoming here this week, so it took away from my Sox watching!

[specialkd24]

Well deep down I knew we probably weren't going to repeat. The rotation wasn't deep enough (Wake wasn't as good, no Schilling) and Papi hasn't been the same, no Manny and somebody switched bodies with Josh Beckett this year.

But I didn't think we'd be getting killed at home, especially after Game 1.

We just need to re-load and go for it next year.

[rickyh24]

Still need to lose one more.

[matthewdaves187]

Well as an Angels fan, I have to say "Great job Redsox!" Can't wait until they lose the next game. :lol

[rickyh24]

Well as a Red Sox fan I would have to say nice job last series Angels.

[crashintonickdm]

relax, its over baby.

[dowling25]

Tough thing to overcome when both your pitching and your hitting decide to be awful. However, I still have faith they can come back. Dice-K, Beckett, Lester if we can get there. Obviously don't like to be in this position, but I still believe it can be done. Red Sox have proved they can do it.

[SoRight24]

Well as an Angels fan, I have to say "Great job Redsox!" Can't wait until they lose the next game. :lol

I'd be saying that too if I just got owned the last 4 years in the playoffs.

[Bartndrpleez]

At least we have 3 at home coming up with Lester, Wake and then Dice-K again...

Eeeeeeek...;)

Lets go Philly's ;)
Way to make friends and influence people Greg! :lol:lol

If the bats could just come alive! Phillies just made it in. I really thought the Dodgers would win this series.

[dowling25]

^ The bats finally came alive!

[MGH4007]

its too bad they had to waste their home field advantage, I hope they carry the momentum to tampa.

It's a nice thought, and if any team can do that, it's the Sox. But who that was watching the last 2 and 2/3 games started thinking about what they need to address come the offseason? I know Ortiz came through huge in the end, but he's aging, along with Lowell, Varitek, etc. Talent is clearly found in the farm system as evidenced from Pedroia, who I absolutely love and Elsbury, who I'm still hoping starts hitting agagin. So what does Red Sox Nation think they need to address whenever this season ends?

[rickyh24]

Papi has been useless all season...

He will come up big. You know he will.


uh ya.

[dowling25]

He already has come up big in this series with that bomb. W/o that we wouldn't even be talking about the series.

[rickyh24]

I said that over a week ago. I just like to point out when I'm right.

[templeofdmb]

does anyone have a link to tonight's game? I have no cable so I'm trying to catch it online. thanks


nevermind: go to justin.tv if you are looking also

[rickyh24]

Sox!!

[dowling25]

C'mon Lester do what Beckett did and come back and pitch well!

[Lcsulla]

Congrats on a good season and actually making this a series after games 2-3-4. You really do have my sympathy, trust me, been there for a heartbreaking game seven myself- two them actually - including my worst moment ever in 01. Chat again in March when both our teams try and knock out the Rays and restore the natural order of the AL east.

[Number27]

I can go back to liking Kevin Youkilis. Thank you for being such a fantasy baseball beast for me this year. :thumbsup

[specialkd24]

I'm heartbroken now. I had resigned the fact they had lost on Thursday night. It kind of pisses me off that they won 2 games and had a lead in Game 7. So close again. They'd won so many ALCS elimination games.

But winning it all last year lessens this blow.

I'm actually surprised the team made it this far. No Lowell (WS MVP last year), no Schilling, no Manny, a injured Beckett, Varitek hitting like crap, etc. They overcame a lot to make it this far.

Try losing the 01 World Series. Down 2-0 coming back to NY. Winning a nailbiter in game 3. Then watching back to back two run homers to tie with 2 outs in the bottom of the ninth to tie games 4 and 5 - both of which we would win in extras to take a 3-2 lead. Then having AZ tie the series at 3 with a drubbing in game 6. Then BATTLING through a 1-1 game in game seven against Schilling and Johnson and having Soriano hit a shot in the top of the ninth to give us a 1 run lead going into the bottom of the ninth with Mo coming in. I had champagne on the table. Then the disaster. Trust me, I can sympathize with the heartbreak for you. Worst baseball moment of my life was seeing Mo walk off the mound while AZ stormed out of their dugout. Absolutely heartbreaking.

No offense, Jamie, but I don't sympathize with that coming after them having won 4 of the previous 6 fall classics before that.
I don't feel too bad. ;)

[ProudestAnt]

Off season wish list:

Wake retires
Cora gets hit by a truck
Varitek leaves (or is signed for like a mill as a backup)
Timlin retires
Sign D-Lowe for the back end of the rotation
Trade a guy like Bowden for a catcher.

No, just trying to show that I can sympathize with a heartbreak loss. I am actually trying to be respectful and understanding for you all and offer some (possibly empty) congrats on a good season and ALCS.

4 of the previous 5 actually. :)

[Lcsulla]

Also, apologies if my posts rubbed any of you the wrong way. I was trying to be sympathetic, understanding and in another sense congratulatory at the same time. I may be a Yankee fan but most of you all know I do not taunt the Sox fans when things go wrong, I either shut my mouth or try and offer support - even if I hate your team more than a Clinton. :)

What catcher would you want? I heard a whisper of a rumor about Saltamacchia earlier this season. Could the sox get him or would they want him you think?

[dowling25]

Great season. I'm not happy but i'm definitely not as pissed as I thought I would be. I am honestly ok with this whole situation. It was a tall order to come back and they almost did it.

beside Timlin retiring and signing D-Lowe I would not want any of that stuff.


oh well guys we just could not finish it this time :(

I think the first thing that needs to happen is Papi needs to have his wrist worked on. if he can't get healthy we need to get anouther DH one that does not start his swing before he picks up the ball.

[rickyh24]

Tek needs to go. I love what he has done for this team but it is to the point were he is pretty much an automatic out.

I think we need him for two more years to break in Cash.

he still calls a good game behind the plate. you really don't need a big bat at catcher. he is the Hart and Soul of the team dude.

Yeah well being the heart and soul of the team does not bring runs home. He struck out with the bases loaded tonight. He cant even get a bat on the ball 90 percent of the time. If he is still around next season i hope it is to backup Cash.

On to the offseason boys.....

[thehoss]

its ok, the yankees are golfing waaaaay better than ya'll right now. :lol


good season. good to see the al east representing though, showing the west is still soft when it comes down to the nitty-gritty.
