ALCS game 7 thread. Thread 2

[matcom]

1. *fingers crossed*

Lowe looks pretty good early on

[faithnotgreed]

8. yeah he does...

[underpants]

9. Frame by Frame I just checked it out Damon was safe

Tie goes to the runner-it was a tie. Seriously I went frame by frame as I can on digital and Damon was safe-arguing wouldn't suit them well over the long run though. Always give the other side the first call so you look reasonable when the call really counts.

But lordy lordy Ortiz!

[NYC Liberal]

2. GO YANKS!!!

[Hokie]

3. Go Red Sox

If they can beat the Yankees then surely the Blues can win the Stanley Cup ... if hockey ever starts again, that is.

[fishnfla]

4. Go thread count!

er, sorry.....

[faithnotgreed]

5. check out sheffield acting like that was ball 4. sorry....

[JohnKleeb]

6. Striiiiiiike 3

1,2,3

[maveric]

7. Its too early to get excited.

Call me a pessimist but I've been a Sox fan for over 45 years.
You Bostonians know what I mean.

[wysi]

12. This...

... is my 30th season and I still know what you mean!

[charlyvi]

13. Cubs fan here.....

and I know EXACTLY what you mean.

[sasquatch]

10. What did Ortiz's bat say to Brown's ball

SLAP!!!!

:D

[JohnKleeb]

11. 2-0

[matcom]

14. NICE base hit!!

get 'em one at a time SOX!!!!

singles produce base runners

[MissMillie]

16. light up this Brown guy

and shake his confidence

[faithnotgreed]

he looks tired. and for being an emotional guy, he looks drained

ooops.. just yanked him

[faithnotgreed]

15. im sorry for kevin brown, but please sox, run his pitch count UP

[al bupp]

18. He's not looking strong tonight

yet...

[faithnotgreed]

21. not at all. and it looked like torre just said "take him out"

[al bupp]

23. Torre will have a short leash

that's for sure.

[Doctor_J]

24. it couldn't happen to a nicer

douchebag

[al bupp]

35. I agree

Brown has always seemed like a hot-tempered redneck to me.

Of course Nixon's a SC boy, with a bit of red-neckedness, too.

[JohnKleeb]

19. 36 as of now

[faithnotgreed]

22. that works... thanks

[JohnKleeb]

30. and he's taken out

[faithnotgreed]

37. sorry to see him go

[matcom]

17. YANKEE BULL PEN ALREADY WARMING UP!!!

course its full of starters but Brown is struggling

[NYC Liberal]

20. They said Mussina is available...

let's hope they bring him in!

[matcom]

25. BASES LOADED FOR DAMON!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:bounce:

[faithnotgreed]

28. time for him to break out right here

[underpants]

29. Brown is yanked

or should I say yankeed

[NYC Liberal]

26. THANK GOD!!

WHAT THE FUCK BROWN??

[BeyondGeography]

27. It's getting late early out there

Later, Kevin. What else could we expect for $13 million?

[underpants]

32. That's a great hourly rate

$13 Million an hour the way I am figerrin' it

[BeyondGeography]

41. Well, he did pitch 5 or 6 other times this year

Let's call it $2 million per appearance, as I watch a grand slam go out of the ballpark.

[sasquatch]

31. Here comes Mussina

Come'on Sox's!!:)

[GOPisEvil]

33. Mussina? No, Vasquez.

Mussina is not even in the bullpen. TV showed him in the dugout.

[NYC Liberal]

38. Huh...

I thought they had said he was available.

[GOPisEvil]

54. Available yes, but he's in the dugout.

That means he's down the list of pitchers a bit.

[NYC Liberal]

34. Mussina's in?

YES!!

[matcom]

36. think Brown punched a wall again?

:bounce:

[al bupp]

52. I waas just thinking someone

should get out a mattress to protect the wall!

[GOPisEvil]

39. Get out the mustard, Grandma, it's grand salami time!!

[al bupp]

65. LOL!

[JohnKleeb]

40. Graaaaaand slam

[faithnotgreed]

58. vazquez is pitching

[slinkerwink]

55. that explains why the girls in the room next to me are screaming

My god, their screams are making me deaf.

[bicentennial_baby]

60. LOL noelle

[sasquatch]

:bounce:O8)

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

53. You win - you are our Daddy

I'm goin to bed

[faithnotgreed]

57. can they be nys papi instead? please stick around

its way early ..... you know how these crucial games are. no ones going to give up and i say that as a passionate red sox fan

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

61. Aye Papi - we're all done - I know my team and they have no fire

They're all done

[faithnotgreed]

70. brown did look drained. i have to admit i havent been paying

close attention to them so i dont know what youre seeing.

[BeyondGeography]

59. Joe Buck's starting with the eulogy

[faithnotgreed]

63. no... its still so early. we got a long way to go

and may the best team win. i mean that seriously

[JohnKleeb]

64. Well I wouldnt give up quite yet

I am happy as hell dont get me wrong, but I don't wanna make the same mistake some of your guys made in game 4.

[BeyondGeography]

79. With a one-run lead?

Guess they missed the 2001 WS.

[JohnKleeb]

86. On paper you cant blame them really

Rivera is the best reliever in post season uniform.

[MissMillie]

62. Here comes Papi!!!!

I wonder if he'll marry me.

[BeyondGeography]

66. News flash: We got Ortiz out!!!!!!!!!!!

Can we get a "run credit" for that?

[al bupp]

67. Afraid not

Sorry.

[NYC Liberal]

73. 'Fraid so.

Too bad though!

[JohnKleeb]

72. sorry but no

:P
You can get a smiley sticker though.

[BeyondGeography]

76. Thanks, man

Fascinating series. We'll never see another one like it, no matter what happens the rest of the way.

[JohnKleeb]

78. well sure

Its outcome is still uncertain honest but I can't give you guys a run.

[Zech Marquis]

68. I have a bad bad bad feeling about this..

Yankees had betetr start hitting, or this could be over with real quick :scared:

[underpants]

69. Former Bear's Fullback Matt Shue now up

amazing athlete

[Presidentcokedupfratboy]

71. Grand Slam for Baseball Jesus

aka Johnny Damon.

There's a loooong way to go in this one, though. The Yanks aren't beaten until the last out is made, and even then you have to drive the stake throught their hearts.

[JohnKleeb]

74. after 2

Boston 6, and New York 0
:bounce: continue

[democrank]

75. Sox fan reporting in.....

Beat the Yankees, then beat Bush.

[faithnotgreed]

83. you know it! glad youre here

[Selwynn]

77. Sox fan on board - I'll stop making my own threads and join the crew :)

[maveric]

80. It aint over yet my Sox faithfuls.

Not until the last out is recorded.
I still have my rosary beads in hand.

[JohnKleeb]

82. agreed

cant get too cocky.

[Presidentcokedupfratboy]

84. Definitely not over

The Yanks are fully capable of coming back.

'Course, I hope they don't!!!!

[underpants]

81. Tony Clark leads off

-

[tjdee]

85. Just tuned in--and 6-0??!

They have to come back from 6-0??

Whoa.

[JohnKleeb]

87. yeah but its best not to declare them dead

[Presidentcokedupfratboy]

96. Yep 6-0. Un-effin-believable.

Damon hit a Slam and Ortiz hit a two-run dong.

Long way to go, though.

[faithnotgreed]

88. why do they keep saying the yankee fans need something dramatic

right now? i mean its the 3rd inning. i realize theyre down by 6 and jeter is coming up but if lowe gets the next 2 guys out, the game still aint over

[JohnKleeb]

90. to try to get the sox fans cocky?

we cant make htat mistake.

[NYC Liberal]

91. Because the announcers are morons.

[NYC Liberal]

89. Go Cario!!

[JohnKleeb]

92. eek 6-1

its ok

[NYC Liberal]

95. Slowly we will erode the lead.

One at a time. One at a time. ;)

[JohnKleeb]

97. nah you only got 2 back last time

even a dying beast gets some swipes in before falling dead.

[faithnotgreed]

98. just get rodriguez out.... i dont want him on base tonight!

[JohnKleeb]

99. hes not

[faithnotgreed]

103. the enforcer...

i love this. ill tell you what: they go get giambi banking on him, they dont win the series, then this year they get 2 more big salary guys. this would only be fitting 0 tell the world you cannot buy your championships!

[JohnKleeb]

104. oh god yes

nice point.

[NYC Liberal]

93. SCORE!!!!!!!!!!!

Slowly but surely, one at a time!!

[maveric]

94. Oh Shit!!

Here it comes!
C'mon Lowe, dont fuckin blow it!

[JohnKleeb]

100. phew get that run back though

[faithnotgreed]

101. thank you! jeter stranded, rodriguez and sheffield ground out

whew

[matcom]

102. *WHEW!*

ok. we are still ok.

now, LETS GET ANOTHER 6 RUNS DAMMIT!!

[Selwynn]

106. WOOT

[BeyondGeography]

105. Vazquez, up 0-2, walks Cabrera

[ellie]

107. Woo HOO

Damon hits another one out of the park

[JohnKleeb]

108. Gooooooooone

[Ellen Forradalom]

109. phone call to Yankees bullpen

next victim up!

You should hear my husband shout and carry on at the TV.

[tjdee]

110. I turn back as WW goes to commercial, WTF *#!$@%!^!!

EIGHT!!

My god, the Yankees must be feeling like the BIGGEST weiners in the world right now.

[NYC Liberal]

111. Not me!!

GO YANKEES!!!!

[tjdee]

112. Not the Yankees FANS, LOL.

Just those guys sitting in the bullpen, and Torre. Especially Torre.

If they come back, then the Sox will BE the biggest weiners, LOL!
