7. Superstitions Rule!

I wore my Wrigley Field Bleachers t-shirt during each of the Cubs wins in the NLDS. I didn't have it on for the two losses.

Then I wore it Tuesday for the start of the NLCS, and they lost. I didn't wear it yesterday, and they won! So now I'm not wearing it again unless they lose.

3. What time is the game coming on and on what channel?

I don't have a tv guide.

[HuckleB]

4. 8:18 Eastern on Fox.

[Droopy]

6. Thanks

I'll be watching

[Cha]

5. Go Red Sox! And Go Guv!

:toast: :yourock: :toast: :yourock:

[joeybee12]

8. I'm soooooooooooooo nervous!

I still don't believe they'll ever win it all.

As a life-long fan for probably more years than most people on this thread, you'd be able to understand my pessimissm.

[Old and In the Way]

12. I'm with ya!

I was at the Cask and Flagon the night Carlton it that home run in the '75 series.........

by the way, anyone see "Red_Storm"? Did he change his name to "Red_ Blow_real_hard"? ;-)

[MaineDem]

13. I convinced my mother I was sick

...so I could stay home from school during the '67 series. I don't know if I ever told her I was faking. Or perhaps she never told me she knew that all along. :evilgrin:

[bluestateguy]

9. I will be pulling for Boston

No self-respecting A's fan roots for the Yankees. Just remember a 2-0 lead in the series can evaporate in a heartbeat.

[MaineDem]

10. Go Sox

I told a Yankee fan friend of mine that I thought the Sox would win in 6 and he asked "Six centuries?" So then this morning I said "Sweep baby sweep". His answer was something along the lines of "sweep this" but I'm excited, nervous, and anxious for tonight's game. :)

I hope it's another game like last night...I was able to get through it without Tums.

Enjoy, everyone.

[BigMcLargehuge]

11. let's go Red Sox let's go clap-clap

repeat

[FlemingsGhost]

14. Pettite will be tough. Lowe might be tired.

Good to see Manny turning it around, though.

Is this the game Nomar breaks out?

No offense to Maribelli, but I'm more confident with 'Tek's bat in the line-up.


It should be another good one...

[opihimoimoi]

15. Go Sox........ Wicked Good Tonight!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Pulling for the SOX

Forget the Reverse the Curse thingy.... lol :o)

[NewYorkerfromMass]

16. Ha ha! Who cares if the Sox lose tonight?

we did the damage last night! It's gravy tonight! just gravy! :bounce::bounce::bounce::bounce::bounce::bounce::bounce::bounce::bounce:

COWBOY THE FUCK UP! WOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

[Submariner]

17. Get ready for a migraine Steinbrenner

:nuke:Game 2:nuke:

[Redneck Socialist]

22. Maybe he will cry again.

[SiobhanClancy]

18. Base hit..

a good beginning:)

[NewYorkerfromMass]

19. Petite scatters them, no biggie

we need to score the men on base.

[matcom]

20. Petite Looks F*CKING SCARED right now!

yeah, they left the bases loaded BUT 3 hits in the top of the first means they are NOT AFRAID of little old Petite

christ, he WALKED Ortiz due to his 'fear factor' :D

GO SOX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Redneck Socialist]

21. And so it begins

Varitek scores! six hits off petite so far.

[Redneck Socialist]

23. Shit!

[SiobhanClancy]

24. No worries..

a minor setback,that's all:)

[matcom]

25. #1 in Batting Average

#1 in on base %
#1 in RBI's....

SHALL I GO ON???

I DON'T THINK SO


BRING THOSE FUCKERS ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

BABY!!!!!

[HuckleB]

59. Tell it to the Braves.

Those stats are history. They're beautiful, but they don't mean anything now.

[NewYorkerfromMass]

26. wow, their first lead of the series and it only took them 11 innings.

:)

[curse10]

27. flipping between the game and the debate

it's very confusing. :-)

[Redneck Socialist]

28. shit, shit...

shit. Not very articulate I know, but c'mon how many chances are we gonna give 'em.

[Droopy]

29. The Yanks look like they mean business tonight

They're pounding on Lowe

[HEyHEY]

30. OOO POOOR WITTLE WANKEESS

Gonna get another spanking tonight!

[Redneck Socialist]

31. do I really need to say it again?

time for more beer...

[Kathy in Cambridge]

32. kick

[NewYorkerfromMass]

33. we gotta do better than that!

Pettite's settling into a groove. Not good.

[Kathy in Cambridge]

34. I know-squandered base runnners earlier

Red Sox have left 6 on base. The Yankees have left 5, but Pettite is getting lots of pop ups and strike outs.

[Redneck Socialist]

35. God Damn It!

I thought it was time to vary my profanity.

[Redneck Socialist]

36. Tek, you da man!

Let's go Red Sox!

[NewYorkerfromMass]

37. yeah but now we're looking at the bullpen

Yank leads thru 6 usually hold.

[Redneck Socialist]

38. Petite, still in...

and his pitch count is up over 100. Let's go Red Sox!

[Redneck Socialist]

39. Not anymore...

Base hit and Torre is bringing in Contrearas.

[NewYorkerfromMass]

40. huge AB for Nomar coming up, he's the tying run.

bullpen time!

1 pitch from Contrearas and he pops up to end the inning. SHIT!

[MaineDem]

41. What's with Nomar and pop ups lately?

Jeez.

[NewYorkerfromMass]

45. Yaz was famous for doing it in the clutch

he ended both the 1978 Buck Dent game and the 1975 series by popping up.
But i am worried not. Pettite had to (and was expected to) come thru tonight or the Yanks were toast. Like i said earlier, the Yanks are playign catch up now, not us.
Saturday is big. It's the whole series.

[Redneck Socialist]

48. Yeah thanks for bring up that old history

sheeesh...

[FlemingsGhost]

42. Hey God... while you are at it, Bless Iraq, too!

Whatever happened to "Take me out to the Ballgame?"

[Redneck Socialist]

43. Say goodnight...

Total meltdown. Pedro will eat Roger's lunch Saturday though.

edit: What day is it?

[FlemingsGhost]

44. LOL... O.K. "Fairweather" Socialist

By the way, tomorrow's an off day

[Redneck Socialist]

46. I know, I meant to type Saturday

I take this Red Sox/Yankee thing way too seriously.

[FlemingsGhost]

47. One can NEVER take the rivalry "too seriously"

You are on right side, too!

[Redneck Socialist]

49. Poo...

On to Boston. Pedro will be a gracious host I'm sure.

[NewYorkerfromMass]

51. Yeah but will Roger be a good guest?

I like our chances.

[Yavin4]

50. Cowboy This!

1918 1918 1918 1918 1918 1918 1918 1918

[Redneck Socialist]

52. Play nice

no one has bashed the yankees all night.

[FlemingsGhost]

53. We got a split in your house.

The Yankees have their hands full, and you know it.

See you Saturday...

[Yavin4]

54. So Did The Twins

And we saw how that worked out. Remind me, what happened the last time the Yanks were in Boston...

[NewYorkerfromMass]

55. better hope it doesn't turn out like 1999

when Roger got chased early and Pedro dominated.

[Yavin4]

56. All We Have To Do Is Win One In Boston

We can lose to Precious Pedro and still take 2 out of 3.

[FlemingsGhost]

57. No offense to Twins fans, but Minnesota was no match for NY

They peaked claiming the enemic Central Division. After 12 in row, they were never the same...

I never said it was going to be easy, but for the first time in a long time the Sox are playing as a team. And for the first time in a long time, the Yankees LOOK beatable in October.

Go ahead, compare the Boston Red Sox to the Minnesota Twins. You are setting yourself up for disappointment.

(on edit: typo)

[HuckleB]

60. No doubt.

The Twins couldn't keep up with the Yanks in the regular season or the postseason. Still, the Twins did quite well versus the Red Sox in the regular season (taking the season series 4-2), and we just don't know if the Sox can keep up with the Yanks in the postseason.

Maybe they will, and maybe they won't. I would say that every game with Pedro on the mound is a must win for the Sox, however.

[HuckleB]

58. Well, looks like we got us two seriously competitive LCS's.

1-1! Beautiful. Good for baseball fans everywhere!
