[matcom]

7. PEDRO IS A ROCKIN'!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:bounce:

[underpants]

9. 5 innings that's all we need and he is PITCHING!

As a Braves fan I have seen Maddox not throw over 85 and destroy a team.

End of the third. Can I breath now?

[matcom]

8. 3 UP 3 DOWN FOR PEDRO!

:bounce:

[TSIAS]

10. HR Millar

4-0 Sox

[kanrok]

14. Go Sox

The Sox are showing the heart the Cubbies could never muster.

[StaggerLee]

11. Whaaaat's the matter with Roooooogerrrrr???

:P

[TopesJunkie]

12. Clemens is tired or off and the Sox have Wakefield waiting in the wings.

Go Sox!

[underpants]

13. I wouldn't bank on a knuckleballer

Oh

[TopesJunkie]

15. I would bank on this one against the Yankees.

They can't touch the guy.

[underpants]

21. "can't" ?? that is not in the vocabulary

On your your face maggot!

Remain clam. on the balls of your feet, aware. ready.

[TopesJunkie]

23. Perhaps it's time to turn off the taps.

You're not making sense, and we haven't made it to the fourth inning.

[underpants]

25. I've made it to the end of my seat

Replace "clam" with "calm"

[TopesJunkie]

28. OK, then.

Be careful. We don't want any injuries.

[underpants]

17. DOWN GOES ROGER ! DOWN GOES ROGER!

Yikes

[matcom]

16. SIT THE FUCK DOWN ROGER!!!!!!!!!!

HE IS OUTTA THERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:bounce:

[underpants]

18. Into middle relief now

No telling what will happen.

Matt DON'T COUNT CHICKENS! or I will hunt you down!

[matcom]

20. Jeff, we need TWO more runs and i'll be feeling GREAT

FOUR runs ain't quite enough. i realize that!

give me TWO more and i'll be a PARTYING!!!!

[underpants]

22. 27 outs

And then I will party.

BTW-Damon is a BAD ASS. I loved him as Billy Bear in "48 hours" oh that was cheap.

[TopesJunkie]

19. And a happy retirement to Mr. Clemens.

...No, you're not going fishing. You've got a lawn to mow, pal.

[TSIAS]

24. RedSox miss a chance there

The Yanks had to pull out all the stops by bringing in Mussina.

[JohnKleeb]

26. Cowardly Yanks

[TopesJunkie]

27. Just enjoy! No need to get negative!

This is a party!

[TSIAS]

29. Giambi finally wakes up!

HR. 4-1 Sox

[MaineDem]

30. DAMN

Settle down, Petey. Put that crowd back to sleep.

[underpants]

32. Karim Garcia looks like Colin Quinn

I was going to do a whole "sepearated at birth" thread but I couldn't find the photosto support my thesis.

BTW-I can't tell the Milllar Muellaar Varetek Nixon group apart.

[MaineDem]

36. Nixon's the one with the ratty hat

Both his cap and his batting helmet are really tired looking.

[TopesJunkie]

31. Pins and needles. Needles and pins.

That's what it's going to be the rest of the way. At least it's a pleasurable pain!

[MaineDem]

34. I'm very nervous

I've been pacing...I come in and check DU...I fold towels...I watch the tv broadcast...I knit...all the while listening on radio. I can't stay still.

I'd like a few more runs and a few less innings to go. I can't stand this. :D

[matcom]

33. GIVE ME TWO MORE BOSTON!!!!!!!!!!!!

PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


TWO MORE THAT IS ALL I ASK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[underpants]

35. 12 outs left

Pedro is killing me. Out ****ing standing!

[MaineDem]

37. Sorry...ignore this

Nevermind...the link didn't work. Sorry.

[underpants]

38. Don't get lulled to sleep with Mussina's pitching IT'S STILL ON!

Steady now.

[MaineDem]

39. Have I mentioned how much I don't like "God Bless America"?

Arghhhhhhhh

[TSIAS]

40. I agree

I don't mind the song as much as I hate it replacing the 7th Inning Stretch.

[MaineDem]

42. That's what I should have said

It was over 6 minutes from last pitch in the top of the seventh and first pitch by Pedro in the bottom. The delay can throw the visiting pitcher off his rhythm.

And, yes, give me tradition anyday. This is a game of tradition.

[underpants]

41. Don't you know that we are the only territtorial boundry chosen by GaaawD!

I know it won't sink in with the rank and file but I agree with you.

[MaineDem]

43. Oh Gawd!!!!

Giambi again.

Nailbiting time for sure.

[underpants]

44. "lost his footing"

Game is Faaaaaaaaar from over

[TSIAS]

46. Definitely

I can't imagine this series ending quietly.

[TSIAS]

45. Oh my

Things may be unraveling for the Sox now.

[FlashHarry]

47. Whew! How the f*ck is Pedro still throwing 95mph fastballs?

[NewYorkerfromMass]

50. the force is with him against the evil empire

Torre bringing in Wells is stupid. I guarantee you the Sox will proceed to score off him.

on edit: ....ha ha! See?

[FlashHarry]

55. You truly are a Jedi Master!

[TSIAS]

48. Pedro gets out of the inning

This might be it for him, though. Timlin's up and ready to come in for the 8th.

Soriano's had quite a bad day today. 4 K's.

[MaineDem]

49. I can't freakin' stand this!!!

My stomach is in knots.

Timlin will be in and then Williamson.

I'll feel MUCH better with another run or 3.

[FlashHarry]

51. Ortiz, meet David Wells!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Gone!!!!!!

[Submariner]

54. Wells didn't get the MEMO

Ortiz likes LOW fastballs!

[VermontDem2004]

52. TOOOOOUUUUUCCCCCCCHHHHHHDOOOOOOWWWWWNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oops, home run! Yes! :toast:

[StaggerLee]

53. Senor Ortiz

Buh bye baseball.

[Submariner]

56. Gee....Wells is still in there?

what's takin' so long for the change.

[VermontDem2004]

57. 6 more outs!

[MaineDem]

58. Wow, Pedro's coming back out

I'm surprised. I hope he's still got it.

[FlashHarry]

59. They wouldn't let him pitch the whole game, would they?

[MaineDem]

60. Bet he doesn't last the whole inning.

But what do I know?

[Redneck Socialist]

62. What the hell?

I can't believe he is still in. Little is gonna give me an ulcer!

[elcondor]

61. Crossing my fingers and toes

while pacing, LOL! I've got so much nervous energy I'm going to wear a hole in the floor!! Five outs to go!

:bounce:

[TSIAS]

63. Jeter's keeping it alive

Lets see what Bernie can do with 2 out.

[Redneck Socialist]

64. I can't f*cking stand it!

Double for Jeter.

[StaggerLee]

65. Hey Derek- that's a nice swing

Man. I am so glad the wind isn't blowing like it was yesterday.

[NewYorkerfromMass]

66. I miss Dwight Evans/ nt

[TSIAS]

67. Yanks score on Williams double

5-3 Sox. That HR by Ortiz last inning is looking HUGE now.

:scared:

[Redneck Socialist]

68. Pedro's still out there.

I think this game will kill me. Stike two!

[MaineDem]

69. I'm going to throw up

Sorry I had to share that.

Come on, Pedro!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[MaineDem]

73. FUCK!

Way to go, Grady! Damn it

[NewYorkerfromMass]

77. As long as they don't go ahead now.....

I might have left him in too. But the pitch count was really up there - 120 or so.

[FlashHarry]

70. SHIT!

This better not go to extra innings! C'mon Sox!

[Redneck Socialist]

71. Just shoot me...

...no better yet shoot little. Please anyone.

[Submariner]

75. Goodbye cruel world

[NewYorkerfromMass]

72. too many pitches for Pedro

I hate those bloopers.

[Redneck Socialist]

78. He had two strikes on four batters and...

...gave up four hits. What the hell was Grady thinking? The bullpen has kicked ass all during the playoffs.

[FlashHarry]

74. Classy Yankees fans booing Martinez

[MaineDem]

76. If the Sox lose, Grady's toast!

Bad bad decision to leave Pedro in.

[NewYorkerfromMass]

83. maybe... we'll see

it doesn't look good now. Let's bear down.

[NewYorkerfromMass]

98. we made it out of the inning tied!!!!

which is at this point a very, very, postive development!

[FlemingsGhost]

86. Still, I predict Little will be AL manager of the year.

He's done a fantastic job.

[VermontDem2004]

79. Do you believe in curses?

[Woodstock]

82. No, I believe in $180 mil payrolls and 5 times the revenue

Goliath is going to beat David, I guess.

[FlemingsGhost]

80. What a f-in' game!

C'mon... you didn't think it was going to be easy, did you? This is what's it's all about. Both sides putting their hearts and souls into it.

God, I love baseball...

[Redneck Socialist]

81. two outs...

please, please, please....

[VermontDem2004]

85. one out

please, please, please....

[Rooktoven]

84. Now Garcia should be an out...

but I'm awaiting more silliness.

[FlashHarry]

87. If he loads the bases on a walk...........

:nuke:

[bicentennial_baby]

90. And he does...

I'm gonna throw up...

[Redneck Socialist]

88. I think I am going to cry.

bases loaded. two out.

[FlashHarry]

89. I think they need to make it a little more exciting

NOT!

[MaineDem]

91. This is not good

Timlin should have been in there to start the 8th.

[TSIAS]

93. Comp;etely agree (n/t)

[TSIAS]

92. You had to wonder when the bullpen would falter

Timlin has one opportunity to get Soriano.

[HuckleB]

110. How did the bullpen falter?

The bullpen didn't give up those runs.

[Cush]

94. tied at the end of the 8th

[FlashHarry]

95. BREATHE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[TSIAS]

96. OMFG!!

What a fortuitous bounce and a remarkable play by Walker.

[Rooktoven]

97. Whoa! Season saver!

nice play

[VermontDem2004]

99. woooooooooooo that was close

:wow: Come bats, get them some runs.

[MaineDem]

100. You don't think we're looking at a 13-14 inning nailbiter, do you?

Just a thought.

[FlashHarry]

101. I've gotta go to bed!

I've got a loooooong day tomorrow.

[Rooktoven]

104. Man I hope not...

Please by midnight EDT

[Cush]

102. 1 out

[Redneck Socialist]

103. Rivera's in

C'mon Tek!

[MaineDem]

105. If it had been close all along that'd be one thing

But to blow that lead...

Man oh man!!!

[Cush]

106. 1 on, 1 out

[TSIAS]

107. Base hit for Varitek

Looks like they're running Damian Jackson at 1st.

[Redneck Socialist]

108. Tek da man!

Base hit and they are brining in Jackson to run.

[Cush]

109. 1 on, 2 outs

Walker up

[TSIAS]

111. Wonder if Rivera works around Walker

to get to the righty Nomar?

[Cush]

112. @!#@#@#@%

bottom of the 9th

[TSIAS]

113. Onto the 9th

Here come Johnson, Jeter, and Williams with Matsui in the hole.

Yet to see who's pitching for the Sox.

[TSIAS]

114. I hate to say it

I'm pulling for the Sox, but I don't feel good about this inning. :scared:

[Submariner]

115. Now it gets scary

bottom of the 9th.........

[NewYorkerfromMass]

116. Are you ready for extra innings?

I'm not. I'm not even ready for the bottom of the 9th.

[MaineDem]

117. My hands are shaking

It's only a game...it's only a game...

[Redneck Socialist]

133. Only a game?

It's the F'n Red Sox vs the Yankees for the right to go to the World F'n Series! Only a game! Ack!

[TSIAS]

118. Wakefield's up and warming

I don't think they'll give Timlin much time. If he gets into trouble, they'll probably pull him.

[TSIAS]

119. Looking good so far. 0-2 to Johnson

[TSIAS]

120. 1 out

Johnson P-6

[NewYorkerfromMass]

125. PUNCH OUT JETER! .... and then the GREAT 2nd B play!

yes! YES!

[Ellen Forradalom]

121. My poor husband is suffering terribly

This is a situation designed to make a Red Sox fan suffer to the utmost. He is pacing frantically around the apartment.

[MaineDem]

122. I know the feeling (n/t)

.

[bicentennial_baby]

130. Me too!

I'm supposed to be studying for a Chem test, but instead I'm pacing around the living room, chewing Juicy Fruit furiously! :bounce:

[TSIAS]

123. Jeter strikes out

2 down!!!

[Cush]

124. 2 down

[Cush]

126. whata play!

[Redneck Socialist]

128. Walker game MVP if...

...Sox win. Let's Go Red Sox!

[Spirochete]

127. Excellent play

by Walker on Bernie, to end the inning.

[MaineDem]

129. Good lord, what a play!

1, 2 ,3 in the ninth!

It seems fitting that it goes extra innings but I'd rather be celebrating right now!

[SaveElmer]

131. Describe that play

I had to turn the tv off...couldn't stand it !

[MaineDem]

132. Sox 11-5 in extra innings

Let's do it now, Sox!

[Cush]

134. Nomar out on strikes

[NewYorkerfromMass]

135. THAT'S 2 BAD CALLS on the check swing!!!

FUCK! 1st Nomar and then Manny!

[Cush]

136. 2 down

[Cush]

137. 2 out double

Almost went out

[Spirochete]

138. Ortiz keeps it alive!

Doubles to left

[Cush]

139. another runner left on base

bottom of the 10th

[NewYorkerfromMass]

140. well now Ortiz is on the bench and it's bottom of the 10th

FUCK!!!!!!!!!!!

[Redneck Socialist]

141. OK now we have...

...Varitek and Ortiz out of the game. Is there anyone else who thinks Grady has lost his mind?

[NewYorkerfromMass]

150. I'm a little disappointed myself

now I know why Torre gets paid the big bucks... although putting in Wells was totally stupid.

Wakefield coming in was the best move all night. I wish he'd come in 4 innings ago :eyes:

[Cush]

142. 1 down

[NewYorkerfromMass]

143. Well, we're commited to the win now-- WAKEFIELD!

[SaveElmer]

146. Knuckleballers make me nervous

eom

[Cush]

144. 2 down

[bicentennial_baby]

145. Giambi up

[Cush]

147. onto 11

[dobak]

148. damn

[Spirochete]

149. Wakefield shuts them down

Time to get a run or two

[Cush]

151. Yanks up, still tied

Boston keeps going for the homerun, just get on base

[Spirochete]

152. Mirabeli protecting his shoes..

by striking out. Shouldn't have pulled Varitek

[Cush]

153. Yanks win

[Spirochete]

154. It's over

Sox done in by a .125 hitter

[MaineDem]

155. Bucky Dent Boone

Feck!

[bicentennial_baby]

156. And it's over...

:cry:

[Submariner]

157. It wouldn't have been as sweet for us

without the Cubbies anyway

[LynneSin]

158. Matcom, maybe next year you can see my ass

:shrug:

The Jinx lives on.
DU is spared from seeing my naked ass.

:shrug:

[MaineDem]

159. Dupe

Oops!

[Redneck Socialist]

160. With the Cubbies gone...

...you had to figure the Red Sox were doomed too. Bye Bye Grady...

[Rooktoven]

161. Oh my god, they killed Kenny!

;-)

[montana_hazeleyes]

162. That does it. I will not watch the world series this year

!

[cosmicdot]

163. Networks Win NY advertising market

wanted Chicago market, but 1 out of 2 deemed victory for $$$$

[Spirochete]

164. Well, at least

that relieves me of having to watch the World Series, since I don't care one bit about either team, and hope they both lose.
