Boston or New York (Game 7)

[daphatty]

Go boston! 2-0 at the moment.

[sblymnlcrymnl]

Boston has the momentum.

[sj41]

I thought that play at the plate would discourage the Sox, but suprisingly, Ortiz came back with a 2 run-home-run! I still thank that the Yankees will win, but this is going to be a great ball game...

And it better be, because I'm not going out to eat with my family because I want to watch this game and I need to do homework. Looks like this will be the best playoff series that I've ever watched.

[Sn0brawler]

Red (Rock My) Sox.

[Rich]

I voted Boston.

:(

I'm not watching the game. I'm going to play Sly 2. I can't take it.

[jmcc]

Telegram for Boston from a mister...ah...Shao Khan? He says "You will never win. *stop*"

[CaseyRyback]

I voted Boston.

:(

I'm not watching the game. I'm going to play Sly 2. I can't take it.

even though I am rooting for the Sox, you just know Tony Clark or Ruben Sierra is going to come in and win the game. It is destiny

[Mafia]

There is no curse. If there was a curse, they would need to sacrifice a live chicken in their locker room in order to break it.

Oh, I'm going Boston by 3 runs.

[FriskyTanuki]

Go Boston, The curse ends tonight.

There would still be the World Series to blow it, you know that's where it would happen.

[Rich]

I voted Boston.

:(

I hope so. I really do. But I won't know until tomorrow morning. If the Yankees can't hit Lowe, I HOPE Steinbrenner fires half the fucking team.

[vherub]

however Boston decides to lose is fine by me

go pirates!

[daphatty]

Wow. Brown is getting owned. Bases loaded in the second!

[rmewpm]

I wish Joe Buck would say "Slama Lama Ding Dong" when home runs were hit

[dcfox]

grand slam damon :(

[daphatty]

HOLY SHIT A GRAND SLAM!!!!

[xxdeadp0olxx]

GRAND SLAM!!!!

[sj41]

A granny by Damon!!!!!

I take back what I said about the Yanks winning. Boston's finally delivered a huge blow to New York. Wow.

[sj41]

Damn! 5 people all posting about the grand slam in the exact same minute. This must mean it's truly amazing! :D I can't believe that I was the last one to post it, though. :(

[Birbo]

Go Bo Sox!

So tired of the Yankmes going to the show every year. Yanks are my 2nd favorite team to hate (WELL behind the Cubs).

[rmewpm]

[Rich]

I just told me parents to fuck off. Tomorrow I burn all of these "Whos your daddy" newspaper pics.

[dcfox]

To borrow a line from the Sox, "keep the faith". That's to all the Yankees fan on this board, they'll comeback. They always do. I still vote Yankees to win.

[Rich]

That's the thing. They won't. If they had some pitchers that didn't have the name Mike, then maybe there would be a shot. But they don't.
Steinbrenner is going to have a ball firing every pitcher on the staff.

[sblymnlcrymnl]

6-1 now ... the begining of the end?

[daphatty]

I don't count the yankees out until the 3rd out in the 9th inning. Remember what happened last year?

Go Sox!

[Rig]

Come on Boston, you can keep this lead! [-o<

[EddieBelfour]

best part: IF the yanks lose, the red sox fans will forget the last 80 years of thier cruddy existence. and when the yanks come back and win, sox fans will look like ralph wiggum the time that lisa broke up with him at the Krusty show and bart played it in slow mo to show his heart actually breaking.

[daphatty]

BACK TO BACK DAMON!!!!

[SneakyPenguin]

HAHAHA, 8-1. This is great.

[CaseyRyback]

Wicked Awesome!!!!!

[xxdeadp0olxx]

Damon is the man!!

[daphatty]

Unfuckinbelievable!

86. And beating the yankees > winning the WS, I would assume. It's the reverse for us.

[jousley]

Damon with his second Homer! Go Boston so my Cards can meet ya and beat ha in the WS (crosses fingers)

[CheapyD]

Let the looting begin!

[daphatty]

Let the looting begin!

Haha! Boston will be a massive tea party if they beat the yankees.

[daphatty]

Bases loaded again. WOW!

[Rich]

Johnny Damon is my daddy. :(

[Rich]

http://quack-quack.net/daddy.jpg

[daphatty]

What a dumb ass loiza is! He should have just thrown it to first.

[sj41]

I want to see all those people from the MasterCard commercial that said that they would give up things like their computer and dog and girlfriend and all of the money they have, to burn all those things in a huge bon-fire at Fenway. Man, would that be awesome. :twisted:

[David85]

Pedro is coming in shortly... there goes the lead....

No to Perdo!
Lowe doesn't blow!

[daphatty]

Why am I frightened at the fact that Pedro is coming into the game? This is sooo eerie. Like last year when they left Pedro in the game too long...

[Scorch]

Go Sox!

[jlarlee]

aaah lowe was cruising why take him out? arg

[daphatty]

Here we go. Pedro should have never been brought in this game.

[vherub]

Here we go. Pedro should have never been brought in this game.

agreed, this is just silly

[dcfox]

doesn't look like pedro will be in for long.

[daphatty]

Dumb ass BoSox manager has given away their momentum. What a dumbass.

[sj41]

Here we go. Pedro should have never been brought in this game.lead cut to 5. :evil:

[daphatty]

For christs sake! Pedro is throwing sub 90 mph fastballs!

[jlarlee]

i cant see how this works at any angle. why not rest him I feel he is in because he wanted to be a part of this game or something. I know hindsight is 20/20 but if 100 people were asked if they would do that id bet only 1 or 2 of them would make that choice

[xxdeadp0olxx]

I can't believe this crap. Francona should have never brought him in.

[Kaijufan]

I voted Boston because my brother told me to, but he is not sure who will win.

[sj41]

Why am I frightened at the fact that Pedro is coming into the game? This is sooo eerie. Like last year when they left Pedro in the game too long... :shock: Daphatty, are you the freaking broadcaster? He just now said that (after you said it) and the same guy also said how they should of left Lowe in. :lol:

Well, I guess it could just be common sense. :)

2 outs now.

[jlarlee]

even Grady little is calling Francona a moron

[Rich]

Why must you tease me by putting Pedro "I choke agains the Yanks" Martinez in. :(

[jlarlee]

WTH Lowe has a one or two hitter going? Why does he not stay in until he gives up at least on emore hit? I hope to hell he had his blister problem pop up again or something, because besides that it makes no fricking sense

[daphatty]

Mark my words, if the yankees come back, it is because Pedro came in and gave them life. He did nothing for his team.

[daphatty]

HOME RUN!!!!!

[sj41]

Why must you tease me by putting Pedro "I choke agains the Yanks" Martinez in. :(I'm sure Pedro wanted to go in because he needs to prove that he can pitch against the Yakees. This is his last chance of the season to do so. I think the manager felt that by putting Pedro in, he might be able to raise his confidence so he would hopefully pitch better in the future. And I bet Lowe was pretty tired from pitching so much, you know? :)

He got the last out, though with a 5 run lead, so they should do fine. But then again, these are the RedSox. :P

And as I'm typing this, another homer by the RedSox. :P

[jlarlee]

I think we need to ask the pats if we can Borrow Bill Belichick for the rest of the playoffs. Whats next? Schilling and his bloody ankle? I swear only a sox fan can be terrified with a 5 r8un lead in the eighrth

[evilpenguin9000]

The Red Sox offense looks like it isn't going to roll over tho. Maybe it can lift Pedro from the depths.

[daphatty]

Pedro just needs to sit his happy ass in the depths and get some rest.

[CheapyD]

The people in the apartment next door are obviously Red Sox fans.
Lots of yelling and screaming going on...

Since there is no NHL this year, I don't get to return the favor :(

[Pezdro]

As a native new yorker, I'm so happy to see the Yankees and their fans served with the come uppance.

Of course, now the question becomes, does Boston burn due to a world series loss or a world series win.

Win. They're quite adept at not winning the World Series and not rioting.

My dad said a tv station did a poll which asked which would you take beat the yankees now or world series next year? 70% said beat the yanks our hatred for the yanks ranks higher than the need for a ring right now.

[ChrisXE]

im getting nervous now that one of the best pitchers(years back) might choke

[daphatty]

Three outs left.

[Heyricochet]

What up board hiccup. 10-3! Go sox!

[jlarlee]

I'm stumbling around my house talking to myself my wife vacated to go upstairs I think she may think that i have lost it

[Ugamer_X]

Bleh, this game is over...Well, the Yankees can't win every year. Time to root for Houston/St. Louis.

BTW, Kevin Brown is a piece of shit.

[Spiritseed]

this is the first series I have been excited about in 15 years, Bostons showing some balls in this one.

[Admiral Ackbar]

This is where the Yankees score seven in the bottom of the ninth to take it to extra innings.

:P

[regisphilbi0]

Boston is (going to) win! Good. Now the Cardinals can kill the BoSox. Should be a good series. (after ther cards win tomm, of course.)

[David85]

this is the first series I have been excited about in 15 years, Bostons showing some balls in this one.


Red Sox show balls all the time, they do play baseBALL.

This is the time where The Curse comes back, you all better be praying for the Red Sox to win now.

[daphatty]

Uh oh... Base hit...

[rmewpm]

2 more outs

[daphatty]

One more!

[CaseyRyback]

now only one out

[alongx]

I grew up in NY, but I'm rooting for Boston.

[daphatty]

A walk?! WTF!

[Heyricochet]

I grew up in NY, but I'm rooting for Boston.
Me too, but I go to school in MA so I've had a little brainwashing while I've been there. Wasn't too hard, I wasn't a super fan of baseball in the first place.

[jlarlee]

damn one more commercial break, i may have to call in sick tommorrow

[Heyricochet]

A walk?! WTF!
I know it wasn't intentional, but it isn't that bad of a play. Now they have forces at every base except home, so if one gets hit to the left its easier to get someone out.

[Mafia]

To the humble Yankees fans: Your team played very well and made this one of the best playoff series ever.

To the Yankees fans that like to gloat all the time:
THEEE YANKEES LOSE!
THEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE YANKEES LOSE!

[chunlirocks]

:wink: THE SOX DID IT! :D
Game OVER!

[rmewpm]

SOX WIN SOX WIN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[jmcc]

Up your face, NY!

[daphatty]

Its OVER!!!

[xxdeadp0olxx]

Red Sox Nation has been waiting for this moment for a long long time. HELL YEA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[evilpenguin9000]

Yay they did it!!!

[David85]

DRINKING TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111

[FriskyTanuki]

Now, they have to endure the World Series. Can anyone say Mientkiewicz? I do hope they win, because they'll finally be able shove one in the Yankee's face.

[guyver2077]

YES THANK GOD THE YANKEES LOST!!!

[Heyricochet]

DRINKING TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111
You're just starting?

[zionoverfire]

YES!!!!!! The Yankees are vanquished :grouphug:

[evilpenguin9000]

Does the World Series even matter now?

[xxdeadp0olxx]

Hopefully there will still be a Boston when I wake up in the morning. heh.

[sj41]

This is a really lame ending to this series to me. I mean, the Red Sox still blew the Yanks away tonight, instead of it being a close game, which would have made this a great ending. I mean, the celebration just feels so strange because it wasn't how a game 7 between the Sox and the Yankees should be like. I don't know, maybe it's just me.

[Grave_Addiction]

Bwhahahahaha. Did any of you guys notice the dude in the beanie who kept walking behind Damon and looking at the camera? That was some serious funny shit.

It reminds me of when Jim Carrey used to do those skits on In Living Color.

[ayolykewhoa]

MOTHERFUCKING MOJO BABY! I can't believe it, the first World Series of my lifetime. I can't speak from all my screaming! YEAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!

[hutno]

AFter the yankees 2 run rally joe buck and company seemed to think that 5 run lead wasnt so big. This is sooo sweet

It's just you.

Or maybe it's just the Yankees. They didn't even show up tonight. Steinbrenner is gonna lay the axe down BIG TIME!

[Ugamer_X]

Gloat all you want...it's still 26 to 0 since 1918, so I could care less.

In all seriousness, the Yanks deserved to lose this series, they had so many missed opportunities it's not even funny.

But, in the end, this series will mean nothing to me as long as Boston doesn't win it all...At that point I'll be able to put a smile back on my face.

I wanted it to be a blowout. Adds an exclamation point to the series

[CaseyRyback]

maybe this will be the wake up call for the boss.

His team needs to suck for a while and rebuild. He has to rebuild his farm system if he is going to win another world series anytime soon

[smellhasreturned]

YEAAAHHHH


FUCK YEAH

YEAHHHHH

You seem to forget one thing. The 2004 Boston Red Sox are the first team EVER to come from a 3-0 deficit to win the series. And they did it against the Yankees. Shrug it off all you want. This is a major acheivement. Ruth is rolling over in his grave right now.

Well I want to remember the game in the morning... later this morning. :)

[dafoomie]

Big Papi MVP, yeah! Anyone see Nixon run out to the Redsox fans out in right field? He's still over there with them.

I knew right after the Yankees lost game 4 that this would go 7 games, Boston is such a talented team I wouldn't have expected them to be taken out easily. I commend them for their achievement, but it doesn't change the fact that they still have a ways to go before winning it all.

[WAJedi]

Ok, ALCS came out how I want. Now the Cards will win the NLCS and the World Series. I will call right now who is going to win the series for the Cardinals. It will be Edgar Renteria. I called Damon before game 6, and said he would pretty much win game 7 for them, and that proved pretty true, so I'm laying it out on the line again.

haha look at kenmore square they are party hardy

[PittsburghAfterDark]

How many old people in New England just broke hips or had heart attacks since they've been waiting for this so long?

Congrats Red Sox and the Red Sox Nation. You are true die hards and deserve your night of celebration. Remember 1967, 1975 and 1986. It ain't over yet, you may have escaped the Death Star but you still have to blow it up to win.

[dafoomie]

Greatest comeback in sports history.... If the 26 matter more than anything now, why do they still play the games? If that mattered NOW, the Celtics would be the best team in the NBA.


Listen to the Redsox fans at Yankee stadium... WHOS YOUR DADDY?

[dafoomie]

26-0... Very Happy
Keep telling yourself that, don't mean shit.

[smellhasreturned]

Anyone have a picture of A-rod looking angry yet ?

[tyecko]

I'm not from Boston and I am a Twins fan but I would like to congratulate all the Sox fans, if it wasn't the Twins in the world series I'm glad it's the Sox. And thank you for taking the Yankees down, I hate those bastards.

[fieldkillah]

I loved the look on A-hole's face. It made the win even better than it already was.

[dafoomie]

Your Daddy:

Theo Epstein needs to send Gene Orza a bouquet of flowers for keeping ARod out of Boston.

[Ugamer_X]

Keep telling yourself that, don't mean shit.

Jeez, the fact that this win doesn't bother me seems to really be bugging you. :D

I guess we are just coming from different places on this one...Ya see, if the Red Sox had lost this one, it would have been a huge blow to all the fans watching. But seeing as the Yanks lost, it's no big deal since we don't have to go bite our nails every year in hopes that we can break and 86 year old curse.

It's just like I said after the Yanks lost Arizona and Florida, "We'll be back, they won't."

[evilmax17]

Hey dafoomie, whose that kid giving the finger?

If you don't care, then why watch? Why bother? You're not a real fan. I don't care if it doesn't bother you. Just don't try and belittle the history that was made today like you've been doing.

Get used to hearing about this collapse in every single playoff game you are in from now on. Believe me I'm sick of hearing about Bucky Dent I give you 5 years before you hate hearing about this game because broadcast stations over state crap like this

[dafoomie]

Hey dafoomie, whose that kid giving the finger?
Thats Byung-Hyun Kim, pitcher for the Redsox. Him or Terry Adams will probably replace Mendoza on the playoff roster.

[hutno]

probably adams

[dcfox]

Well as a Yankees fan, congrats to the Sox. They did the unthinkable today and all the props to them.

[integralsmatic]

26-0 means shit...thats history and this is now. I cant wait for Pedro to say Who is your daddy? Ima a met so this is even sweeter seeing my crosstown rivals choke it up to the Bo Sox. Hell will raise in teh Bronx tonite.

[dafoomie]

Greatest comeback in sports history.
Greatest choke in sports history.

One of the gutsiest, most heroic performances of a pitcher by Schilling.
Great performance by Lowe after 2 days rest, gave us 6 innings, 1 run.
Big Papi David Ortiz, the new Mr. October. Pedro took out Godzilla with the knockdown pitch, he wasn't the same since.


Any word on firings yet? Brian Cashman is probably fired already, not that he deserves it. George knows he can't fire Torre.

[Ugamer_X]

Jeez, the fact that this win doesn't bother me seems to really be bugging you
If you don't care, then why watch? Why bother? You're not a real fan. I don't care if it doesn't bother you. Just don't try and belittle the history that was made today like you've been doing.
Am I disappointed? Yes, but you are forgetting that Yankees fans can take solace in the fact that they have lived through World Series victories.

I hope you do realize that I'm just playing around with you Red Sox fans, like I said the Yanks deserved what they got.

[smellhasreturned]

http://msn.foxsports.com/id/3096980_7_2.jpg

[integralsmatic]

Torre will never get fired. That guy is a Bronx Icon. Cashman needs to go. His stupid buy players philosophy is going down the tubes...Epstien did it the better way this year...Hmmm think Nomar regrets the things he said and did this year?

[dafoomie]

Well as a Yankees fan, congrats to the Sox. They did the unthinkable today and all the props to them.
Thanks, I don't direct any venom towards you, but nothing the Yankees have done in the last 80 years can make this any less great. Don't take too much offense, its directed towards them.

http://bostondirtdogs.boston.com/Headline_Archives/BRS_10.20bgjd.jpg
This is possibly the greatest playoff series ever in baseball.

[starman9000]

It's just like I said after the Yanks lost Arizona and Florida, "We'll be back, they won't."

Well, I guess time will tell... I think the Yanks have cursed themselves. Since last year they have become obsessed with beating the Redsox, not being the best...If CashMan doesnt go, the Yankees are screwed for a while.

[Ugamer_X]

[hutno]

screw nommaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh epstein made what was probably the greatest trade ever (jk) and completely revitalized the season. I hope nomar enjoys watching the world series.

[dafoomie]

Jesus Damon picked a great time to come out of that slump, Bellhorn too...

Thank god Nomar is gone, no team with Nomar will ever win anything.

[MorbidAngel4Life]

WOOHOO! THANK YOU!

Ahhhh had to get that out. That Bellhorn HR was awesome. But they definitley shouldn't have brought Pedro in.

But I am glad. Astros are going to win tommorow, then BoSox are gonna stomp them.

Thank god for miracles.

[MorbidAngel4Life]

:rofl: at ESPN.com!

Talk about new world orders. The Boston Red Sox are the new symbol of inspirational comebacks and the New York Yankees are the new symbol of choking collapse. The next thing you know, Ben Affleck may make a decent movie.

Meanwhile, the Yankees finally know what it is like to play for or root for the Red Sox. Sunday, they were three outs from wrapping up a four-game sweep. Monday, they were two innings from spanking the Red Sox again. Tuesday, they had the pennant-clinching run at home plate in the ninth inning.

And Wednesday night, "Who's Your Daddy?'' T-shirts went on sale for half-price.

And Thursday, no doubt, the pink slips go out.

[jlarlee]

Keep telling yourself that, don't mean shit.

Jeez, the fact that this win doesn't bother me seems to really be bugging you. :D

I guess we are just coming from different places on this one...Ya see, if the Red Sox had lost this one, it would have been a huge blow to all the fans watching. But seeing as the Yanks lost, it's no big deal since we don't have to go bite our nails every year in hopes that we can break and 86 year old curse.

It's just like I said after the Yanks lost Arizona and Florida, "We'll be back, they won't."

Get used to hearing about this collapse in every single playoff game you are in from now on. Believe me I'm sick of hearing about Bucky Dent I give you 5 years before you hate hearing about this game because broadcast stations over state crap like this
I'll get sick of hearing it if the Red Sox win the World Series this year...Like I said, if the Red Sox don't follow through, this will mean shit to me. But that's just the way I see it.

Yanks didn't come through last year and hell yea that game 7 last year bugged right up until about an hour ago

[CaseyRyback]

It's just like I said after the Yanks lost Arizona and Florida, "We'll be back, they won't."

Well, I guess time will tell... I think the Yanks have cursed themselves. Since last year they have become obsessed with beating the Redsox, not being the best...If CashMan doesnt go, the Yankees are screwed for a while.

Brian Cashman is probably the best GM in baseball. He has to deal with a tyranical owner on a daily basis and has restored the yankees to their glory.

Firing him would be the dumbest thing Steinbrenner could ever do

[smellhasreturned]

So Nomar was the Curse

he was working as a spy for the yankees. i knew it

[smellhasreturned]

whats with that yankee picture haha

[jlarlee]

so what happens first? George fires Cashman or George talks to Beltrans agent? I'm betting they talk to Beltran first

[dafoomie]

Its the only picture of Jeter or ARod without the Shit-Eating grins on their faces.

Yes, it would be stupid for George to fire Cashman. But when has that stopped George? The 'Yankee Dynasty' was built when George wasn't allowed to run the team.

Geroge will probably want Beltran but they don't need him. They need pitching of all kinds except for a closer.

[jlarlee]

I would not have though a week ago that there was a chance in hell that we would resign Lowe but I am kind of hoping we do now. Second year in a row he has been money during the playoffs

[dafoomie]

At least Lowe will be cheaper if we keep him.

Look at Kenmore Square... People are chanting Lets Go Redsox and Whos Your Daddy Now... They have reporters looking down from the monster seats, its all safe though, nobodys been hurt, but apparently several cars have been accidentally crushed from the mass of people standing on them. Dunno who would be dumb enough to park there...

[hutno]

Lowe still has another series to prove himself. He needs to prove he can be consistent and theres no better time for him to put up

[jam3582]

that was a crappy game for the yanks but a hell of an awesome game for boston and its about time damon got hot. im a yankees fan but that dude looks like my girlfriends brother so it reminded me of him hes cool i hear he was a great player during the regular season . any way congrats boston and all of its fans , now its time for the real challenge the world series . hey boston fans not all yankee fans try and rubb stuff in about the "curse" and the championships it is time for someone else to win for a while lol then the yankees can go ahead and try and win alot again :D

[dcfox]

Well looks like my lucky avatar just might break this curse afterall.

Where were you when I was still a Sox fan? I'm always getting screwed by a horse.

[jlarlee]

so who do we want to meet in the playoffs. My dad wants the cards for historically reasons but I see Houston as the easier team for us. The cards have too good of a lineup and they got like 4 dangerous as hell guys. The Astros have a good lineup too but I just think Rolen, walker, pujouls and edmonds is scarier than Beltran,Berkman,Bagwell and Baggio

[Zenithian Legend]

I was probably still rooting for the Dodgers, that's Mister Ed's favorite team you know; however, don't I look simply ravishing in this Sox batting helmet?

[dafoomie]

Houston because of Clemens... And Clemens is pitching Game 7 for them tomorrow so they'll probably win.

[jlarlee]

As long as he doesn't have a meltdown. The Cards should all throw on Athletics jersies Roger wouldn't last an inning

[Lorik]

Wow what an amazing series, makes me proud to be Bostonian!

The kids at my college, a MA state school, went nuts though. They got violent quick and started to break things. The cops moved in and thre smoke grenades and arrested some kids. Things got worse. They moved to parking lot and started smashing cars. I hope mine didn't get hit.

Anyhow, no damage to my car will ever dull this moment. The Sox did the impossible and will rock hard in the World Series. All this curse bullshit is out the window now!

[dafoomie]

Plus Houston has no fans, so it'll be easy to get tickets there.

[dcfox]

You know, Mr. Ed is about to strike out in this pic.

http://img27.exs.cx/img27/420/EDbaseballSox.jpg

[dafoomie]

Most of the people you see being violent are people that aren't from Boston... The guy at Northeastern last year wasn't from Boston. Kenmore Square is totally packed and theres no destruction or violence at all.

[dafoomie]

And yeah, Mr. Ed looks like Shea Hillenbrand in that pic.

[dafoomie]

Its too bad Clemens probably won't pitch in Boston, the way the schedule is setup. I'm not afraid of the Cardinals either, they have no pitching.

[jlarlee]

Plus Houston has no fans, so it'll be easy to get tickets there.
Shit I just remembered Houston is only 4 hours away I am so going if they win. I am def cheering on the stros tommorrow

[ayolykewhoa]

Did anybody see the Nike commercial about the Sox fans from 1919 to now? Now one of my favorite commericals.

[dafoomie]

St Louis can't be that far either for you, is it?

Haven't seen that one, no...

[jlarlee]

st lou is about 6-7 hours. I;m more familar with houston so I'd prefer it there

[MorbidAngel4Life]

You notice that they had the MasterCard commercial for the Cubs, and as soon as they were eliminated from playoff contention, they switched to the Sox?

[ayolykewhoa]

Those front pages bring a tear to my eye.

Found this quote on Yahoo from A-$$$


``I'm embarrassed right now,'' Alex Rodriguez said. ``Obviously that hurts -- watching them on our field celebrating.


He should be embarrassed for cheating in game 6.

[dafoomie]

He should be embarrassed because he came to a world series team and made it worse. We should all send a bouquet of roses to Gene Orza.

[Ugamer_X]

He should be embarrassed because he's an overpaid choke artist.

He should be embarrassed with his career since he left seattle, I understand the money thing but I also understand that you can't have your cake and eat it to.

[gokou36]

Isn't St. Louis Cardinals cursed too? I saw something on ESPN last week about an umpire making the wrong call on first base in some world series they played in. Maybe 2 cursed teams will be playing in the World Series.

Btw I don't like watching baseball, but I love watching the yankees lose.

[dafoomie]

The curse thing is stupid... Theres no such thing as a curse. Its an invention of the media.

[Ugamer_X]

Ok, seriously, did anyone honestly think the Yankees were going to win tonight with Kevin Brown starting?

[zionoverfire]

Ok, seriously, did anyone honestly think the Yankees were going to win tonight with Kevin Brown starting?

I thought the yankees being the yankess and the Red Sox being the Red Sox that the Yankees would win in the bottom of the 9th on a walk off home run.

[dafoomie]

The Yankees and most of their fans were arrogant enough to think so.

Derek Lowe went on 2 days rest, but he really stepped up. He deserves a lot of credit, especially considering he had a bad season.

I shouldn't say they were arrogant for thinking so. They're the 2nd best team in the AL and had as much a shot at winning as the Redsox did. But Kevin Brown let them down, and Derek Lowe shut them down.

Well, I guess my bigger question is why start him in the first place?...I realize he had the most rest of any Yankees pitcher, but given his horrible recent track record against Boston it made no sense. Torre could have easily found a way to split the work up between Vasquez/Loaiza/Hernandez.

You know I'm a Yankees fan, but when I found out that Brown was getting the start it wasn't a question of "if" he would give up any runs; it was a question of "how many."

[dafoomie]

I think Torre thought there were going to be a lot of runs scored on both sides. Kevin Brown would have had to pitch some innings either way, I don't think El Duque could have gone on short rest + his shoulder. I think you'd rather have Brown than Loaiza. I'd have gone with Vasquez, not that he was much good tonight himself.

Both pitching staffs were completely blown, whoever was going to win was the team with someone that really stepped it up that night. Who'd have thought it would be Derek Lowe?

[jlarlee]

If you noticed the Rangers had a far better season this year without him and if I recall correctly the Mariners had a huge season after they unloaded him and picked up Ichiro

[jlarlee]

I tell you what though I hate A-Rod but I have nothing but respect for Jeter he seemed to be the only Yankee that had any fire. Yankees fans should be ashamed that they booed him earlier on in this season when he was struggling.

[dafoomie]

If you noticed the Rangers had a far better season this year without him and if I recall correctly the Mariners had a huge season after they unloaded him and picked up Ichiro
Exactly, every team he came to got worse, and every team he's left got better. Thank you Gene Orza.

You do have to give Jeter credit for playing hard and being a clutch player in his career, but he did have a bad playoffs this year. ARod got booed and deserved it.

[jlarlee]

Jeter did have a bad playoffs but he did have three RBI in game 6 and he drove in a run last night to start the yanks only serious rally but he got no Backup. If I could cherry pick one player off the yanks I would take Rivera but Jeter is a close second.
