[underpants]

14. You can't swing a dead rat without hitting a Massachusetts YANKEE

around here.

:bounce:

[JackDragna]

101. Not all of us.

The Red Sox are a big-market monstrosity just like the Yankees, though Boston fans are loathe to admit it. Go A's.

[matcom]

4. Sox go down in order - Top of the 1st

Wakefield up and pitching that knuckel ball! :bounce:

[VermontDem2004]

7. Found it! ESPN 2

[Emboldened Chimp]

6. Go A's!!

I want to see another bunt!

[VermontDem2004]

8. They have to be cursed if they lose a game on a bunt

[Emboldened Chimp]

11. Gotta admit

It was bold call. Suicide squeeze with two outs. Crazy.

[proud patriot]

13. No one was expecting that play ..

The bunt was smart , That's how beseball is played :bounce:

[Emboldened Chimp]

15. It's why I love the game

You never know what can happen.

[Drifter]

104. 2 down 1 to go

Sweep and put this Cubs / Red Sox bullshit to rest.

The instant someone mentioned this, jinx both teams. They deserve to lose.

Cheers
Drifter

[proud patriot]

9. Thanks goodness it's started earlier then yesterdays game

May it be another close awesome game of two great
and talented teams ...

Go A's

Let's Go Oakland ,,Let's go ...:bounce:

[maveric]

10. Hail mary full of Grace the Lord is with thee...

Do you think that I take this a little too seriously?

Last night brought back painful memories of game-6 in the 86 WS.

[matcom]

12. FIRST INNING OVER - No Score

That knuckelball is a DANCIN' TODAY (so far) :bounce:

[underpants]

17. Maybe the Red Sox should quit while they are not behind

Sorry to be so bunt.

On EDIT-Should be "blunt" Sorry to be so BLUNT. Sorry for gut wrenching pain this may have caused.

[Emboldened Chimp]

LOL!

Right on, Underpants!

[MaineDem]

21. HeeHee

That made me laugh. I shouldn't have but I did.

And thanks for the compassion. :evilgrin:

[StaggerLee]

16. Man, I planned to go to the bar right after work to watch the game

But I gotta go pick up my mother from the hospital.

Have to fight the urge to speed...

[matcom]

18. they WALKED Ramirez

top 2nd NO outs

[Emboldened Chimp]

19. Intentionally, or did they pitch around him?

No TV in my cubical hell...

[matcom]

20. nope. Zito isn't in the zone yet

n/t

[underpants]

25. Eddie Vedder is pitching today?

[wryter2000]

22. A's, A's, A's!

But the Sox are great, too. I wish we could both win!

[matcom]

23. middle 2 no score

left Ramirez stranded x(

[Emboldened Chimp]

24. I found TV in my cube hell!

I got to see that WEAK fly ball to center right!

Go A's!

[underpants]

26. I checked the A's playoff roster

No Bucky Dent Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeew

[matcom]

27. FUCK!! 1-0 A's

x(

[Emboldened Chimp]

28. Ruh-roh!

Gettin' ugly...HBP!

[maveric]

29. Shit!!! Wakefield is gpoing through a meltdown.

Wakefield is either really great or he get. lit up.

[underpants]

30. What happened?

How did they score the run? Did he hit a batter? Was it the A's pitcher?

[maveric]

33. Bad pitches, hit batter...

a pass-ball. Now a double to left and Manny misplayed it big time.
3-0 A's.

[VermontDem2004]

31. Oaktown is on a roll

Doesn't look good for the Sox.

[matcom]

32. PULL HIM OUT DAMMIT!

get him OUT of there!

3-0 A's

oh shit

[VermontDem2004]

36. Wakefield looks horrible

almost hit Tejada.

[VermontDem2004]

57. I rest my case

[VermontDem2004]

34. WOW!

Red Sox look bad, but they can still turn it around.

[matcom]

35. i'm going to get the razor blade

i ain't slicing yet but

WHAT THE FUCK????????????????????????????????

[SiobhanClancy]

39. I can't watch this carnage..

I'm still exhausted after last night/early AM debacle. It's so depressing..even the diehards in the Boston.com chat room are giving up. Somebody say something hopeful!(Besides..."wait till next year")

[matcom]

42. #1 in Average

#1 in RBI's
#1 Slugging %
#1 on Base %

i would have more but i'm about to open my veins

hang in there. we just GOTTA hang in there

[SiobhanClancy]

46. Thanks!

I needed that!:) And you're right,we do need to hang in...when they get back home to Fenway,they're going to turn it around and kick the A's Asses!

[MaineDem]

44. Hang in there

We've come back before.

(Trying to convince myself here, too.)

[wryter2000]

37. Sorry, guys.

Don't know what happened. May not be over for you, though. Stranger things have happened. (What am I saying?)

[maveric]

38. FLLUUSSSHHHHH!!!!!

Walkers error and bad throw with Manny the sloths misplay in left is just piling it on.
TAKE WAKEFIELD OUT! HE DOES NOT HAVE THE STUFF TODAY!!!

[Emboldened Chimp]

40. U-G-L-Y!

That spells Red Sox!

[GOPisEvil]

41. FREE GRAPE KOOL-AID BEING SERVED FOR RED SOX FANS!

You'll find it in the bathtub. Cups and ice are on the sink!

Sorry y'all - I hate when my team lays an egg. But, hey, they can still come back - they're the best hitting team in history (in terms of slugging % anyway).

[Loyal]

43. The A's are gonna do it again,

like last night. They'll win tonight and most likely win either 3 or game 4 at Fenway. I don't think we'll have a game 5. My guess would be that the A's sweep the Sox 3-0. :)

[matcom]

45. Mirabelli DOUBLES

chip away
chip away
chip away

and prey

[GOPisEvil]

48. Chip away...isn't that a song by BOSTON ARTIST AEROSMITH?!?!

Karma, baby...the comeback is on!!!! :bounce:

I'm tryin'...

[matcom]

47. ONE RUN IN -- DAMON'S GOT A DOUBLE!!

:bounce:

chip away
chip away

and pray

[proud patriot]

50. Let's go Oakland Let's go

:bounce:

[matcom]

52. you know, i USED to like you

:P

[proud patriot]

78. Big fat Rassberry

:* LOL

[VermontDem2004]

53. Manny hits an out

screwing up there chances of rallying.

[maveric]

60. I think that Manny is looking for a trade to the yankees.

He's just not showing any of the fire that you would think that a superstar would have in the playoffs. He swings lazily at bad pitches, loafs in the field and looks like he really doent give a shit. He's tanking on purpose.

Doea anyone else notice this?

[MaineDem]

74. I totally agree with you

He wants to play in NY. I've felt he's been tanking for a while now.

[Emboldened Chimp]

49. Great snatch by Guillen!

Inning--and threat--over.

[Emboldened Chimp]

51. Is the game streaming online anywhere?

No more TV for me (lunch over.) Back to cube hell.

[HEyHEY]

54. Vancouver is cheering for the SOX!

[SiobhanClancy]

56. Just one of many reasons why we love Vancouver!!

:)

:bounce:

[HEyHEY]

58. haha...it's true though!

;-) Seriously, I was in a bar last night...the whole place was going for the sox. Then this morning. My boss revealed to me he liked the sox. My friends, family, everyone! Is going for the sox!

[VermontDem2004]

55. Nice catch

by the left fielder.

[matcom]

59. ok Sox get out of THAT inning unscathed

BRING ON ORTIZ!!!

*fingers crossed*

[Emboldened Chimp]

61. Gee, it got quiet here all of a sudden

Wonder why...

[matcom]

62. we're still here

a**hole :P

:loveya: anyways

[matcom]

63. WAKEFIELD YOU ARE FUCKING DONE!!!!!

GET HIM THE FUCK OUTTA THERE DAMMIT!!!!!!!!!!!!

:argh:

[maveric]

64. THATS IT! TAKE WAKEFIELD THE FUCK OUT!!!

Second hit batter in 3+ innings! He looks like he should pitch in next years home run derby!
The Horror! The Horror!

[Emboldened Chimp]

65. Any more runs score?

[VermontDem2004]

66. No

The Sox barely finish the 4th inning scoreless.

[maveric]

67. You're Bustin by Balls manco!!!

Oh well, I'd probably do the same to you too.
:evilgrin:

[matcom]

68. Damon Base Hit

good at bat

2 down, NOMAR up

*fingers crossed*

[matcom]

70. NOMAR base hit

Walker up :bounce:

*fingers still crossed*

[Emboldened Chimp]

71. ESPN gamecast is WAY behind the curve

They still have Mirabelli up!

[Emboldened Chimp]

69. Sit down, Kapler!

[matcom]

72. inning over

left another 2 men on x(

*fingers still crossed*

[matcom]

73. still 5-1 through 5 innings

Manny then Ortiz up next

*fingers still crossed*

[matcom]

75. MANNY BASE HIT

to start things off :bounce:

ORTIZ UP NOW

*fingers still crossed*

[VermontDem2004]

76. 3 and out after Manny

If only the Red Sox played like this during the 2nd inning, the score would still be 0 to 0, but it is better then being down 5-1.

[matcom]

77. Sox are running out of time here

can't capitalize

A's have 5 runs on 4 hits.

GGGAAAAWWWWDDDDDDDAAAAMMMMMMMMMMMMMIIIIIIITTTTT!

:argh:

[VermontDem2004]

79. Now if only the Sox could score some runs

[VermontDem2004]

80. Me, Matcom and the Republicans(Yankees) fan

are the only ones posting here, where did everyone go? :evilfrown:

[matcom]

81. Matcom is about to end it all

open a vein
slit my throat
oh WHY oh WHY oh WHY?????????????

kill me now :argh:

[Emboldened Chimp]

82. Republicans? That's over the line!

And below the belt!

[VermontDem2004]

84. lol, sorry

:evilgrin:

[Uzybone]

83. LOL

Red Sox will be swept. Like i said last week, why does anyone think the Red Sox will win a playoff series?

[VermontDem2004]

85. They are playing good

with the exception of 2nd inning, the 2nd inning was like watching a little league game. But other then that the Red Sox has held them to 0 points.

[Emboldened Chimp]

86. update for the cubicle bound!

[VermontDem2004]

88. 5-1 A's

The Red Sox will start the 9th inning batting first.

[VermontDem2004]

87. Come on! Only 4 more runs!

Beat the A's.

[Emboldened Chimp]

89. What inning is it?

I can't see it or hear it on the net.

[matcom]

90. Top 9th

Ortiz up

[VermontDem2004]

93. Game over

The A's still won't win, the Sox will win 2 straight at Fenway and will win the last win Oakland.

[pmbryant]

91. Down to their last out

Time for their '1986 moment' in reverse....

:shrug:

--Peter

[VermontDem2004]

92. Yay! 1 hit!

[pmbryant]

95. That's all folks

They can still win 3 in a row.

:shrug:

--Peter

[Emboldened Chimp]

That's all she wrote!

Sox down 0-2!

[matcom]

94. A's up 2-0

Congrats A's Fans

BACK TO FENWAY

*fingers still crossed*

[proud patriot]

96. Thanks matcom

I wish the game had been closer ..

I love tight games like the one we had last night .

[Braden]

97. back to Boston

hopefully some home cooking will do our guys some good.

As exciting as last nights game was this one was a dud. Even if you were an A's fan I am sure it was gratifying but boooooring.

[Neecy]

98. if this cheers y'all up some...

The A's have been "Chokeland" for the last three playoffs. If any team can blow a two game lead, this one is it.

That being said, Lilly is pitching well and Hudson is back on Sunday. I like Oakland's chances (although I hesitate to say that, given the last three postseasons).

[HuckleB]

99. The A's held serve!

That makes me a happy man, but it don't mean it's over.

[Red_Storm]

100. Come On A's ........................

SWEEP SWEEP SWEEP !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


:bounce:

[Throckmorton]

102. They need to thaw out Ted Williams' head,

but I heard it had a crack due to uneven freezing.

[Red_Storm]

103. The Iceman has not cometh..........
