Red Sox "Hail Mary" thread.
Its do or die for my Sox. Will they put it together and win AT LEAST ONE GAME??

Fenway is not so pitcher-friendly so the big bats might come alive. I'd keep Manny Ramirez on the bench since he has been about as enthusiastic as a garden slug on seconal. I think that he's tanking on purpose to get that trade to the yankees that he seems to want.

If only the bullpen can hold up. Keep Kim on the bench!!!

Lets all put our hands together and repeat after me: Hail mary full.......

10. It ain't over till it's over
or until the fat lady sings.

I'm not singing quite yet. Just looking for a Cubs/Red Sox Series. Then we'll see who's got the better curse!

5. Lowe is pretty good at Fenway
And if Manny starts doing something productive we have a good shot.

Is it still raining in Boston? Any change the game will be called?

7. My kids
were all hopped up that the Red Sox were going to win the World Series. After all they saw the Pats take a Super Bowl. Do they deserve to have both in their lifetime? I truly don't think they have suffered enough...But as God is my witness... please let the Sox win...please god... please....

8. Good, I hope they lose - 1 less team to make me live up to my bet
since I vowed to show my naked ass on DU if the Sox or the Cubs won the World Series.

Believe me, you don't want to see it - let the curses continue!!

9. Is this the best we can do?
Red Sox on the verge of elimination and we can't even keep the thread on the front page!? Come on that's pathetic! The game ain't over yet. One one top of the ninth. Rally caps everyone!

12. Seriously, even *I* didn't see this coming
For one, I thought the Red Sox would win the series easily and with lots of offensive power.
Second, I thought they would make Lilly their biatch tonight!

26. Oh baby, what a rush!!!
I was so nervous watching the game that I had to do housework! Now that's something! :)

I love the new haircuts!

Man, I know it was only one game but the chance is still there. I hope Burkett and Manny (when will he get a clutch hit?) have their game today.

27. great win. Lily was awesome for Oakland
he has shut down the Sox before, once in pinstripes.

I have heard Trot Nixon talk to Christ before, but usually he is more uhh....gruff, and its usually "Jesus F. Christ", he's screaming to.

Whatever works baby.

Anyone else going today?

29. I'll enjoy for you too.
You get the benefit of instant replay, private rest room and limitless food and beverage possibilities. (no complaints here)

I am a season ticket holder, otherwise I would be out of luck like almost everyone else.
