4. HA! HA!

We swept you in '88. We swept you in '90 (oh, and watching Crybaby Clemens get thrown out of game 4 was a lot of fun too), and we will do it again in '03.

5. But it was a Fucking Great Game William

Man I was sitting on pins and needles , the whole game ..

Glad you made safe and sound :hi:

[Susang]

6. Fucking Cubs lost too!

It's because I turned on the game at home. They always lose when I watch them at home. I thought maybe this time would be different since the damn curse is supposed to be lifted, but nooooooo! :mad:

11. Well, look on the bright side of it:

You are in Amsterdam! Home of bicycles, friendly Dutch people, Europe's most ridiculously indecipheral language, Jodelkaaken, canals and coffee shops. I'd do anything to be able to switch :)

[VelmaD]

12. God you missed all the fun today...

Sorry about your Sox. I rooted and everything but it didn't seem to help.

14. Celebrate the downfall of Pigman at a coffee shop of your choosing!

You won't be doing anything he wouldn't do, right?

[Braden]

15. who got more sleep last night?

the passenger in 37C or the rest of us who had to watch this mess until 2:47am

Good news in brief.

Timlin was perfect in one inning of relief.
Pedro wasnt dominant but pitched seven strong innings.
Walker 4-4 two homers.
Nomar 2-5 I think, with some solid singles. His stroke looks like he might bust out big time.
Varitek Hit a bomb off hudson.

Bad News in Brief
Kim was yanked with runners on first and third with 2 outs, in favor of Alan Embree. Who proceeded to grant a tying single.

We need to win today's game which starts at 4pm EST 9pm GMT, you will have a chance to watch if you can find a place. And all will be fine.

22. Smoke a bunch of hash, you'll feel much better about it...

My cousin and his then-girlfriend went to Amsterdam years ago and were pleasantly surprised at the availability and potency of the hash there. They had rented a tiny cottage from a family who lived in the main house.

After having procured their substance of choice for the evening, they decided to run a bath and indulge. Several hours later, they awoke from their stupor to find that the entire cottage was filled with about 6 inches of water, and it was running down the front steps. The hash was a MITE stronger than they had anticipated, and it slipped their minds that the bathtub was still running. They grabbed their stuff and ran for it. :)
