[sabbat hunter]

1. schilling gone

didnt come out for the 4th. his ankle must be killing him to come out of the game


david

[DS1]

2. His ankle just killed half of New England fer Chrissake!

:nuke:

[jerryman814]

3. GO YANKEES!!!!!

I'm hoping for a perfect game.... Curt Chilling's "Bill O'Reailly"-like comment before the game about SHutting Up Yankee Stadium was the perfect starting point for us. Now he can shut himself up and watch the rest of the game from the bench.

[sabbat hunter]

4. Rivera

is in the Hizzouse. but i wonder how he is mentally and physically after the funeral and plane flight back


david

[NYC Liberal]

6. Yeah, I can't imagine how he's feeling right now.

[jerryman814]

7. Doesnt look like we're going to need him tonight LOL

[sabbat hunter]

10. shhh

edit your post. cant jinx it by talking about the super no no


david

[blue neen]

5. How did the Yankees score all those runs?

I'm not watching the game because of our in-house boycott of local Sinclair affiliate.

[jerryman814]

8. Matsui....

Four runs batted in including a bases clearing double. Curt Shilling sucks big ballocks... Mussina with a perfect game so far...

[NYC Liberal]

9. And he continues the perfect game!

Woohoo!

[sabbat hunter]

11. people people please

respect the baseball gods and dont talk about the super no no


david

[NYC Liberal]

13. Oops, sorry!

Lips sealed!

Anway, Rivera looks in good spirits tonight. :)

[El Supremo]

22. A Pox on You n/t

[speedoo]

12. Matsui has 4 rbi.

One in the first, a brilliant one handed dump into short left, which Manny the dope played into a double. Bernie then singled him in.

In the third, Matsui doubled with the bases loaded to drive in 3, and then he came in on a sac fly.

Meanwhile Mussina has looked great.

[sabbat hunter]

18. a couple o f walks

hits by matsu, misplayed ball by ramirez.. schilling not pitching well due to painful ankle


david

[blue neen]

14. Okay, I don't want to jinx anything.

Could someone please post the inning in Roman Numerals?

[NYC Liberal]

15. Inning: V

[jerryman814]

21. Inning: VI

[bluestateguy]

16. Who is this other color commentator?

Sitting w/ Buck and McCarver. I just turned on the game. Is this guy a player?

[TSIAS]

17. Al Leiter

Currently a pitcher for the Mets. Won a title in 1997 with the Marlins.

[sabbat hunter]

25. 7-0

lofton hit a hanging knuckler by wakefield.

wakefield was supposed to pitch game 4, even though he is a knuckler and can pitch every day, i wonder if francona is planning on trying to bring back schilling for game 4, since he only threw 60 pitches tonight, and hope is ankle is better by then.


david

[JohnKleeb]

19. listening to it on ESPN radio

Jon Miller is great.

[Adams Wulff]

[jerryman814]

33. I've never seen Mussina's knuckle curve...

being as nasty as it is tonight... Great control. The perfect game is gone, but he is still pitching excellent.

[sabbat hunter]

34. pefect game over

long double


still shut out


david

[neoteric lefty]

32. wow 8-0 in the 7th

I don't like either team, but I thought Boston would do better than this. Go Marlins. Oh wait, oops. Next year, maybe.

[neoteric lefty]

35. 8-2 Now

Milar got a double.

[bigwillq]

36. 8-2 now

Fans were tuning out in big numbers so they had to put some excitement into it.

Fox needs the ratings.

[neoteric lefty]

38. 8-3 now

and Mikey is gone!!!

[sabbat hunter]

49. 8-5

why did they bring in sturtze. he is so erratic. would have been better off bringing in gordon. this is the ALCS, every game is big


david

[bigwillq]

37. 8-3

Mussina's going to exit

[maveric]

40. If any team can come back from 8-0 its the Sox.

It aint over Yankee fans!

[bigwillq]

41. I think the Sox have the most powerful lineup

in the majors. You're right, if any team can do it they can.

I just hope they don't do it tonight!

Go Yanks!

[SmileyBoy]

39. Only 8-3 now!! Let's go Sox!!!

Other times he hustles. This time they caught him loafing.

61. Damn you M.F. Yankeees n/t

[OneBlueSky]

62. let's have a "nice try" clap for the Red Sox . . .

um . . . what's the sound of one hand clapping? . . . :shrug:

seriously, that was a great comeback attempt by the Sawx . . . this is going to be a series where neither team will be out of it no matter what the score is until they've gone through every last one of the outs allotted them . . . should make for some great baseball . . .

Yanks up 1-0 is a good start, though . . . let's see if they can make it 2-0 tomorrow . . . after all, they're Pedro's daddies! . . . (hey, he said it, not me) . . . :)
