[WilliamPitt]

Yanks down 4-2 but rallying in the bottom of the fourth with men on 2nd and 3rd...

[WilliamPitt]

1. Nomar is KILLING me this series

:grr:

[maveric]

8. FLUSHHHHH!!!! Can ya hear it?

Burkett has blown up and its 5-4 yanks.

[stopbush]

34. Still lots of game to go

you BoSox fans need to calm down.

I know, easy for me (ie: Yankees fan) to say.

[maveric]

2. Ahhh Fuck!!! 4-3 now!

Shit!! Nomah just booted one!!
The curse???

[Woodstock]

11. Any Sox pitchers warming up?

[TopesJunkie]

[realFedUp]

[Kathy in Cambridge]

5. Oh My F**ing God

[WilliamPitt]

10. Fuckin Nomar

:grr:

That was the inning.

[MaineDem]

16. It sure was!

Maybe he can make up for it at the plate. I can hope.

[donotpassgo]

6. DEAR LORD BLESS THOSE YANKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

YEAH!@#$%^!&^$^&$@&^$$%

[daytondem]

Looks like starting this post was bad luck.

DD

[MaineDem]

9. Crap crap crap

Get Burkett out now!

[Blitz]

12. too late

[Uzybone]

14. Noo keep him in

finish him, flame him, burn his ass for 10 runs. Make his gray beard fall off. Lets go Yankees.

[maveric]

18. Now they have to SCORE more runs which have been of a premium

this series.
Its important for them to score A SHITLOAD OF RUNS in the next couple innings!
This is fucking terrible!

[Spirochete]

13. Bench Burkett and Garciaparra

forever. They do more harm than good.

[matcom]

15. Nomar Burkett?

:grr:

[imhotep]

17. why is Burkett

ever allowed to pitch more than 1 inning?

[Woodstock]

20. Pettite has thrown 72 pitches so far

sorry messed up

[VermontDem2004]

19. DAMNIT!!!

Chokers!!!!! The Red Sox are going to make me edit my signature line :argh:

[Beetwasher]

21. Damn! I turn around for 5 minutes!

And my boys bring it on! Karma's a bitch eh...;-)

[WilliamPitt]

22. OK, plenty of baseball left

[donotpassgo]

23. I'll repeat my post from the last thread.

GIAMBI YOU FAT F*** CHOKE ARTIST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Uzybone]

25. He struck out again???

Jesus Wesus...what the fuck is wrong with that guy?

[MaineDem]

24. Gotta love the K

Phewwww.

Get the feeling this is going to be a high-scorer?

[WilliamPitt]

26. Bullpen mud match

unless Pettite gets a grip this inning.

[maveric]

27. Give Nomar 7 minutes with Mia before his next ups!

Maybe its the nookie factor thats killing him this series?

[MaineDem]

32. Maybe it was the pressure of the World Cup

Now he gets another hit. :)

[TSIAS]

28. I wouldn't be too worried

I'd be surprised if this game stays 5-4. THe Sox hitters, except for Nomar, seem to be hitting well.

[RetroLounge]

29. I feel your pain Will.

and I will feel my own if my Cubbies lose tonight.

Here's hoping for a Cubs / Red Sox world series...

[WilliamPitt]

30. Way to be, Nomar

Nice recovery. Now score.

[TSIAS]

31. Shocking!

Nomar gets 2 hits on one game.

[Uzybone]

33. We need someone to start warming up

Contreras maybe. Petitte is not getting any better it seems.

[MaineDem]

35. Nah, leave him in.

;)

[quadropheniac86]

39. come on, Andy

nuts, Boston is getting wood on everything Pettitte is throwing now

[MaineDem]

42. Welcome to DU!

:hi:

[realFedUp]

36. hey, this game is supposed to be fun

galldarnit.

[WilliamPitt]

37. They having a book club on the mound or what?

[maveric]

38. Hometown Ump rings up Ortiz on a ball!

WTF was that?

[MaineDem]

40. Time for the leading AL hitter to belt one

Come on, Mueller.

[matcom]

41. COWBOY UP BILL MUELLER!!!!

COWBOY THE FUCK UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[donotpassgo]

44. Another big opportunity...

another Bosox...

Choke

[MaineDem]

47. Arghhhhhhh

I love "The Natural" soundtrack...not.

Sorry, this shouldn't have been a reply to you.

[WilliamPitt]

43. You gotta love Yankee stadium

That place is LOUD.

One cannot love baseball and hate the Yankees. If Fenway is a Church, Yankee Stadium is a Cathedral.

Plenty of baseball left.

[VelmaD]

46. Can we love baseball...

and dislike the Yankees heartily? :-)

I've just never quite forgiven them for ruining the Rangers first ever foray into the post-season. *sigh*

[Uzybone]

45. Strike out Mueller

Take your COwboy ass to the dug out.

[donotpassgo]

48. GOD BLOWS ANOTHER RUN ACROSS THE PLATE...

or maybe it was the wind.

[SonofMass]

51. Marino will soon be awakened from his nap

.

[donotpassgo]

52. Dan Marino????

He never won a championship either.

[SonofMass]

56. My roommate Marino Zimmerman

.

[donotpassgo]

63. Your roomie hasn't won a championship either.

n/t

[VelmaD]

49. Fuck fuckity

fuck fuck fuck. I just turned the damn game on and the Yankees scored again.

[VermontDem2004]

50. Beat the Yankees

clap clap clap clap clap

[Blitz]

53. Two innings to go

And then its Marianno Rivera time.

BTW, here's Jim Caple's (a HUGE Sox fan) take on wearing the enemy colors in NY and Boston:

I wore a Red Sox T-shirt in the Yankee Stadium bleachers and a Yankees T-shirt in the Fenway Park bleachers during the playoffs this past week. And having done so, an apology might be in order for all the Yankees fans I have gleefully insulted over the past few years.

Not that I actually WILL apologize, mind you. I'm just saying that an apology would be in order if I was a bigger man.

I wore the Boston shirt on the subway to Yankee Stadium for Game 2. And I wore it for an hour outside the stadium. And I wore it in the bleachers for three innings. And no one offered so much as a single unpleasant remark. Not one. In fact, one Yankee fan even held the door open for me at the McDonald's across from the stadium.

They were so damn pleasant about it that I don't think I was even in New York.

. . .

In Boston, on the other hand, I received much more abuse, usually of the "Yankees suck!" variety, with some additional thoughts on homosexuality.

. . .

http://espn.go.com/page2/s/caple/031014.html

Honestly, I love New York.

[SonofMass]

58. They are used to winning.

I'm sure they felt sorry for him.

[realFedUp]

54. Come on Varitek...hit one over the wall

[realFedUp]

55. did I mention David Obey's making a good speech in the House...

:eyes:

[Uzybone]

57. Contreras

the ugliest man in baseball comes in to rub salt in to the Sox gaping wounds. Haha you guys thought you got over on us when we signed him.

[realFedUp]

59. Damon steals second

[donotpassgo]

60. must be posted again...

Fortuitous bounce off 1st base. 6-6 now, with Millar, Mueller, Nixon, and Varitek due up.

Cat

[bluestateguy]

89. Will the Red Sox waste their victory against the A's

Can the Red Sox play baseball with the grownups of the American League?

Remember, nobody remembers teams that do anything less than win the World Series.

And, if a Red Sox wants to reply to my post by invoking the Oakland A's, all I have to say is 1972, 1973, 1974 and 1989.

[MaineDem]

92. It's tied

Don't give up on us yet. :)

[KFC]

94. Not a waste at all, it was a pleasure spanking the A's in their own crib

No-sellout chokers.

[donotpassgo]

90. settle down Jose...You already F-d the lead.

no more pressure to endure.

[donotpassgo]

96. wow...the Yanks could've overpaid an American pitcher to pitch this bad

n/t

[TSIAS]

93. Millar flies out to right

One gone. Ortiz on 1st with batting champ Mueller up.

[TSIAS]

97. Mueller singles

Men on 1st and 2nd, one out. Torre's going to the lefty Heredia out of the bullpen to face Nixon.

[MaineDem]

98. Now I'm glad I blew off my pilates class

This is just way too good. :)

[TSIAS]

99. Wild pitch moves men to 2nd and 3rd

3-2 count.

[TSIAS]

100. Nixon strikes out looking

Two out for Varitek.

[maveric]

103. WHAT THE HELL WAS NIXON DOING TAKING A PITCH!

Its the godamn playoffs runner in scoring position and your team is facing elimination! A hitter like him has to be swinging!

[WilliamPitt]

101. VARITEK GIVEN THE WALK

Bases plugged.

[Uzybone]

102. Disaster inning

2 wild pitches, 3 hits and an error....could anything else go wrong?


edit: yes it could...walk in the go ahead run. Fuck

[bluestateguy]

104. These will be a VERY difficult 9 outs to get

Every out will be exceedingly difficult.

A team of unseasoned, inexperienced players like the Red Sox won't be able to handle the pressure.

[Uzybone]

105. Thank God that is over

I would have puked if I watched that inning. It cant get any worse than that Yankees...so lets go, get 2 runs and win this thing.

[donotpassgo]

106. man on...our father, who art in Heaven...Hallowed be they name...

[donotpassgo]

107. I'd hit BOONE WITH A FRIGGIN BATTERY if I were at the game.
