david

[JohnKleeb]

2. Gonna be a long night

[jerryman814]

3. lol okay we have 2 official threads nice

we might need 100 by night's end though.

[jpak]

4. The Sox will surely choke - tonight or tomorrow night, doesn't matter

The Ghost of the Bambino has his icy hands around their throats.

It's just a matter of time.

If He is merciful it will end tonight.

Hope is not your friend.

It's October and the Sox are doomed...

*choke*

*ack*

[sabbat hunter]

[thestatusquo]

[sabbat hunter]

10. its time

its time. its YANKEE TIME!

[SideshowScott]

11. GOOOOOOO Bean Town!!

God wouldnt that break the Curse going from 3-0 to winning the ALCS?
I Belilve!

[sabbat hunter]

12. how do you spell victory?

Y-A-N-K-E-E-S

david

[JohnKleeb]

14. Who do you call the blower of two saves in a row?

Mariano Rivera

[faithnotgreed]

heheheeee - youre getting some good shots in already! go sox

al leiter just reported on field that schilling looks good .... cannot wait. when hes on, you know he is ON

[sabbat hunter]

18. yah and

we also heard before game 2 that pedro had the flu and he pitched fairly well then. i never believe pregame reports from teams on an ill/ailing player. they will never tell the truth so as to avoid giving the other side an advantage>


david

[faithnotgreed]

22. game 2 he did look pretty good. hit mid 90s

[JohnKleeb]

19. hey my team is one of the teams

where Rivera sucks relatively speaking against.

[JohnKleeb]

13. I believe it would

reverse the curse!

[SideshowScott]

15. Well im a Cleveland Fan..And one thing The Tribe and Sox Agree on..

We Both HATE HATE HATE the Yanks...
GOOOOOSOX..
It really just comes down to if Shilling can throw heat
...I love Baseball!

[JohnKleeb]

16. Orioles fan here

Yanks take the field!

[faithnotgreed]

17. schilling!

[JohnKleeb]

20. eek Joe West is the home ump tonight

Always among the MLB's worst from what I read.

[sabbat hunter]

36. joe west

tends to have a "generous" strike zone. and by generous i mean it is as wide as he is.

david

[JohnKleeb]

37. I read the player polls in the big mag

"Country Joe" is always among the worst ranked.

[Spiffarino]

76. Generous and mobile

He's a lot of fun to watch...never the same strike zone twice.
:eyes:

[JohnKleeb]

21. Muller HBP

runner on first, one out.

[JohnKleeb]

23. You can hear the boos here on the radio

C'mon Papi.

[JohnKleeb]

24. After a half of inning

Sox 0, Yanks 0.

[maveric]

25. Schilling is coming out to pitch now. "Hail Mary Full Of Grace..."

He needs to pitch the game of his life tonight.
We'll find out in the 1st inning which Curt Schilling showed up tonight.

[sabbat hunter]

29. blood on sox

of schilling, what is that about?

david

[JohnKleeb]

26. Jeter retired

one down.

[kaitykaity]

27. Thanks for the play by play.

I'm working so every little bit helps.

:hi:

Let's get this party started!!

[JohnKleeb]

28. yep

no problem.

[NoMoreMrNiceGuy]

30. Schilling won't last until the 5th, bull pen better hold up....n/t

[faithnotgreed]

33. what causes you to think that? i think given the situation, he could

go all the way... not sure that he will but he is capable of it and has a huge heart.

but i would like to hear what your thoughts are

[NoMoreMrNiceGuy]

41. Did u see his ankle when he pitched and when he planted?

He is pitching on pure guts and want-to right now....can't last. I would dearly love to see the Sox in the Series but this doesn't look too promising....hope he proves me wrong.

[faithnotgreed]

43. sure - i hear you. but seeing his fast ball up to 94 gives me more

hope than game 1 where he could barely get 90

but yeah - this guy is awesome and well just root him on however long he can make it.

[JohnKleeb]

31. 2 down

A-Rod lines to Cabrera.

[JohnKleeb]

32. 3 up and 3 down

Nice work Schill.

[matcom]

34. its possible Schilling is bleeding out his fucking ankle

as he is pitching. its either that or meds seeping out. UNFUCKINGBELIEVABLE!!!

[JohnKleeb]

35. just like Gibbie in 1988

Tough SOB that Schilling.

[JohnKleeb]

38. base hit

[Kathy in Cambridge]

39. YAY Millar

glad he got rid of the pubic hair on his chin!

[JohnKleeb]

40. Varitek!

[faithnotgreed]

42. that was a sweet bunt for a base hit

[JohnKleeb]

44. bases loaded!

[al bupp]

45. so far, the sox are making lieber

throw a few pitches...

[maveric]

46. PLEASE NO DOUBLE PLAY!!!

PLEAASE!

[sabbat hunter]

47. dp

[maveric]

50. WHY MUST THEY DO THIS TO ME!!!

38 so far.

[JohnKleeb]

48. fuckin Bellhorn

[faithnotgreed]

65. pokey

[al bupp]

49. you had to mention it...

[maveric]

51. I'm gonna keep my fuckin mouth shut now!

Goddamnit!

[matcom]

53. Schilling Looks Good

despite the blood coming out of his ankle

[JohnKleeb]

54. one out, one out

[kaitykaity]

55. Taking bets on how long before we need a new thread.

Any takers?

I say another full inning.

[JohnKleeb]

56. nah give it till the fifth

[JohnKleeb]

57. Two down

[JohnKleeb]

58. Nice Catch Trot

Three up and three down.

[SideshowScott]

59. Oh Lordy! That was close

Almost a homer for the yanks

[al bupp]

60. Posada's ball to right just DIED

off the bat it looked long gone

[al bupp]

61. OT: F9/11 DVD Ad!

Good see that get on national tv during a playoff game!

[faithnotgreed]

62. schilling! hey our sox are looking good (no mention of bellhorn here)

but we are solid tonight... lets keep it going

[JohnKleeb]

63. base hit

nice Damon nice.

[SideshowScott]

64. Nice hit Damon..Ok lead off base hit...

Could score here

[faithnotgreed]

67. wasted that one.....

[JohnKleeb]

70. yep goddamnit

you have to captialize, c-a-p-i-t-a-l-i-z-e.

[al bupp]

71. gotta start some runners

just to stay out of the dp.

[al bupp]

66. where'd the yankee fans go?

[JohnKleeb]

68. they're gonna be here now

for christ sakes Muller.

[maveric]

69. WHATS THE FUCKIN DEAL WITH THE DOUBLE PLAYS!!

C'MON ALLREADY!

[sabbat hunter]

75. leiber

is a ground ball machine

ground balls=DPs

david

[JohnKleeb]

72. fuck

but pitching seems to be doing good.

[ProudToBeLiberal]

73. What's the score? nt

[JohnKleeb]

77. no score

[JohnKleeb]

74. strikeout

[JohnKleeb]

78. Double by Cairo,

[faithnotgreed]

79. they are hitting the ball pretty well - when they can hit it that is

i would love a strikeout on jeter

[JohnKleeb]

81. hopefully that will be the last of these hits

[faithnotgreed]

85. yeah. he may give up a solo hr, but he looks pretty good

esp when jeter and rodriguez go down!

[al bupp]

90. All year long

I think something like 90% of the homers he gave up were solo shots.

[Champ]

80. COME ON SOX!!!!!!!!!!

lol I'm a Rockies fan but I want to see the Sox win the world series just to see what happens in Boston.

[JohnKleeb]

82. well I hate the Yankees but you knew that

[al bupp]

84. Sox winning the pitch count battle

if that means anything...

after 3

shill:38
leiber:~45

[JohnKleeb]

86. I think it does

Schilling needs to go deep as he can I think so the sox bullpen can rest.

[al bupp]

88. I agree

At least until somebody plates a run, but so far so good.

[faithnotgreed]

87. it definitely does. lieber doesnt look as good & schilling looks better

than the last time they pitched. i think lieber overachieved even though he has a solid background, he isnt that kind of pitcher each time - but shilling is

[JohnKleeb]

83. Cairo left stranded

Schilling is keeping his pitch count, low, good job Curt.

[kaitykaity]

89. Whew.

:)

[Champ]

92. COME ON VERITEK!!!!!!!!!!

[faithnotgreed]

95. go varitek

[al bupp]

97. Tek's battling!

[Champ]

99. 1-0

[JohnKleeb]

91. Double by Millar!

[faithnotgreed]

93. i know its early but this is looking good so far. so much

more stable than the first few games where we seemed more scattered

were bound to score when we get this many guys on

[JohnKleeb]

94. Le Pitche Wilde!

[al bupp]

96. Looks to me like he's happy

to walk tek in this situation.

[JohnKleeb]

98. Sox draw first blood!

yessssssssss

[faithnotgreed]

100. yeah - were on our way! yikes! bellhorn is up

[al bupp]

101. Clutch is everything!

[JohnKleeb]

102. Cabrera hit

c'mon Bellhorn you bastard :).

[kaitykaity]

103. Is it the fifth inning yet, Kleeb?

:hi:

[faithnotgreed]

105. 4th inning - we just hit a 3 run hr, though umps arent calling it yet

were up either 3-0 or 4-0

[kaitykaity]

109. He said we wouln't need a new thread until the 5th,

I was giving him a hard time. :)

[JohnKleeb]

110. n'yet

[faithnotgreed]

104. oh man. bellhorn comes through!!!!!

[al bupp]

107. I am so sick of fat, blind umps

that was definately gone!

[faithnotgreed]

108. sweet - they adjusted the call and said it 3 run home run....

at least theyre trying to get it right even if its grudgingly!

[likesmountains 52]

106. Can you say miracle??

BOSTON!!!!!!

[faithnotgreed]

111. boston! schilling! and i have to say - bellhorn!

[al bupp]

112. I dont care what anyone says about Bellhorn

I think he's been a key part of this team this year, despite all the strikeouts.

[faithnotgreed]

115. right you are. its just been a tough series for him but its been tough

for more than just bellhorn

[likesmountains 52]

113. how is Schilling?

I just got home and haven't seen the Yankees at bat yet..

[al bupp]

114. 1 hitter through 3

looking strong

[faithnotgreed]

116. he looks good - hes been deliberate and solid. im proud of him

[likesmountains 52]

117. pitch count?

didn't see it in this inning...

[JohnKleeb]

118. 53

around 13 an inning, thats a nice one to have.

[likesmountains 52]

121. WOW

I figured it to be higher than that...great news

[UrbScotty]

119. I hereby invoke the Curse of the Bambino

In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit and of Ronald Reagan.

Amen.

[JohnKleeb]

120. I hearby continue to put gypsy curses on the yankees
