[sasquatch]

9 - 3 Boston:)

[kanrok]

Jeter's a punk

Douchebag.

[SmileyBoy]

1. 6... MORE... OUTS...

COME ON!!!!!

[JohnKleeb]

2. at ease now

:)

[Bluebear]

5. :)

[JohnKleeb]

10. I got worried there

now we have as many outs to get as we're up by. BTW guys I am doing what I can with photos and shit.

[faithnotgreed]

8. joe buck better not say "the red sox are now _ outs away

from the world series"

i do not wanna hear thatthis year! can it this time

[Onlooker]

3. Will history be made

I won't count the Yankees out just yet, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed. If the Red Sox win, what a glorious way to do it. Go Sox!!!

[barackmyworld]

4. i am reminded of a funny sign

that was on TV in game 4...Manny-fest destiny

ahh..nothing like history in a sign

[gratuitous]

6. Yankee fans looking pensive

Suits me. Now that Pedro's all warmed up, have him come out and blow a few more guys away. Isn't A-Rod up this inning?

[wysi]

7. Got to head home in a few minutes...

... where I shall watch the end of the game.

yanks would have gotten a bit of a lift from Pedro coming in (and getting two) but will be deflated again after the homer.

[maveric]

9. Francona had better not put Pedro in the 8th!!

If he does then we know that the fix is in.

[sasquatch]

11. Will they let Pedro finish the game?

:shrug:

[faithnotgreed]

12. no way! the crowd would taunt him right outta there

too much baggage right now

[sasquatch]

13. Nope, they got Timlin in now

:)

[opiate69]

30. As a Mariners fan who is pulling for Boston right now,

I still get spasms every time I hear Timlin's name... sounds like he's been doing a hell of a lot better for the Sox than he did for the Marners.. the Cruz Jr for Timlin/Spoljaric trade is still regarded as one of the worst trades in Mariners' history.

[AmyStrange]

116. West Coast transplant from Boston here - CT really...

I'll die a Red Sox fan (and I almost had multiple heart attacks the last four days), but the Mariners are my adoptive team and I totally agree with you and remember that trade.

My nephew and his girlfriend are out here and I told them all about 1995 and Edgar Martinez and his double that kicked the Yankees ass.

Gotta luv GAR!!!

d

[gratuitous]

14. Guy holding up the sign

Doesn't look quite so happy.

Six outs to go . . .

[Was_Immer]

15. I have a bad feeling

I sense troube!

[al bupp]

17. A lead-off walk would not be good

obvious, I know

[Clinton Crusader]

16. IF the Sox win, think how DELIRIOUS Kerry is gonna be!!

:bounce: :bounce::bounce: :bounce:
:kick:

[faithnotgreed]

21. yeah! he is especially loving it. nov 2 is gonna be a HUGE party

in bostons copley square

woohoo

[elcondor]

74. I'm almost

crying thinking about it! (In a good way, of course!! ;-) )

[underpants]

18. "the Yankess are on the verge of a colossal collapse"

-Buck

[drhilarius]

24. "On the verge of"? They done a'ready collapsed.

[al bupp]

25. I hate it when he says things like that

[Bluebear]

19. Mientkiewicz!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[JohnKleeb]

20. one out nice play doug I cant pronounce your name still

[Redneck Socialist]

26. Min-kave-ich

That was pretty clutch.

[al bupp]

32. A big league play, all right

[faithnotgreed]

27. cmon now... you cant tease when were this close: men-kay-vitch

just in case

[JohnKleeb]

35. I forgot

I can pronounce Timlin
Tim-lin
strikes out A-rod btw :).

[faithnotgreed]

38. way to go with timlin... no joe buck i told you not to say it

the red sox are only 3 defensive outs away from the world series

i hate that.. its like he did last year and look what happened

[JohnKleeb]

45. Steinbrenner must provide Joe with women

or he just loves the yankees that much, thank god I am listening to Joe Morgan and Jon Miller.

[al bupp]

48. I like Jon, he's real class act

but Joe, hard to forgive for being part of the '75 big red machine that dashed my teenage hopes so cruelly. Give me Jerry & Joe on WEEI anyday.

[JohnKleeb]

50. I dont live in New England so I dont get that likely

at least Joe Morgan doesn't kiss yankee as like Joe Buck. I like Jon too, great guy, he used to broadcast for the orioles.

[al bupp]

56. Yep, and now the SF Giants, I believe

Buck *ucks!

[JohnKleeb]

60. yep the giants

Pete Angelos fired him, he's such a great guy and he's a dem donor too, and he doesn't play partisan too, plus he's a humble and not egotistical guy.

[al bupp]

65. With that melodious deep voice, to boot

Shall we start a Jon Miller appreciation society, then?

[JohnKleeb]

66. wouldnt bother me

he was the one I heard when Cal hit 2131.

[al bupp]

77. Did I mention that the O's

are the team of young childhood? Both parents are from Baltimore, my father grew-up just a few blocks from old memorial stadium. First major league game I ever went to was there, back in the days of Palmer, Cuellar, Mcnally, and Boog. I'll never forget hearing the cheers for Mr. Powell, and thinking they were boos. Man that guy could hit.

[gratuitous]

22. Worst loss in Yankee history?

No doubt, Game 3 of the 1980 LCS. George Brett, baby. Upper deck.

[BeyondGeography]

36. Try Game 7 of the 1960 WS

Bill Mazeroski walk-off home run. Pirates win.

[JohnKleeb]

40. ahh yes

on paper the yanks won that series but the pirates won, Maz kicked ass in that, one of the greatest homeruns in history.

[opiate69]

What about game 5 of the '95 divisional series?

Definitely one to remember.

[gratuitous]

55. That was a good one

I remember the last out was a long fly to center field. I was listening on the radio in the car, and the Mariners' announcer said, "BELTED to deep center field." Then the reception cut out for some Spanish language station. I almost drove off the road trying to get the game back.

[opiate69]

69. Hehe.. Dave Niehaus.. best announcer in baseball..

"Break out the rye bread and mustard, Grandma! It's Grand SALAMI TIIIMME!!!!!" If they'd only get rid of Ron Fairly, though.. baseball's version of John Madden/Captain Obvious...

[AmyStrange]

117. My Oh My...

Get the Rye Bread and Mustard out Grandma, it's Grand SALAMI TIME!!!

They could replace Ron with a talking computer on a dysleptic loop and the compute would still be more interesting,

51. 1997 Divisional Series

I have to be biased for my Indians. In Game 4, the Yanks were up 2-1 in the series, 2-1 with two outs in the bottom of 8th when Sandy Alomar Jr hit an opposite field homerun off of Mariano Rivera to tie it. The Tribe would score in the bottom of the 9th to win Game 4 and would go on to win Game 5 the next day behind 21 year old pitcher Jaret Wright. Game 4 was Rivera's first blown postseason save and he would not blow another one until Game 7 of the 2001 World Series. Also, before Game 4, the Yanks had their bags packed all ready to go to Balimore for the ALCS.

[JohnKleeb]

58. I hated you guys for that at the time

but I forgive you guys and I believe I ended up rooting for them. It's not like you guys had a Jeff Meier to run it for us, those were great games.

[ClevelandSportsCurse]

81. I was at Game 4 of the 97 Division Series

and it was one of the most thrilling nights of my life. Talk about quickly going from despair to joy. The crowd at Jacobs Field was unlike anything I have ever experienced. To date, no Indians game I have attended has matched Game 4. If Sandy Alomar Jr did not hit that miraculous homerun, the Indians would have never gone to the ALCS or World Series (to eventually break our hearts Red Sox style).

[Was_Immer]

23. Heres the jink 5 outs to go

Cubs were doomed here last year
Sox were doomed here last year

[al bupp]

28. Law of Fives, is it?

[gratuitous]

29. Flail-Rod up now

Counting down . . . full count.

[faithnotgreed]

31. oh man... strike out rodriguez. way to earn all that $$$

[gratuitous]

33. Blew him away!

Four outs to go.

Yankee fans ratchet glum up another notch or three.

[kcr]

34. Did I just see

the AOL LOGO throw a pitch????

[SmileyBoy]

43. Yep. Subliminal advertising.

Remember though, it's FOX.

[JohnKleeb]

37. 3 outs away

whoa

[gratuitous]

39. One inning to go

Not even the Boston Red Sox can pinch off a six run lead. The Series will start in Boston.

[bloodyjack]

44. please don't jinx it!

:scared:

[gratuitous]

47. Jinx?

I spit on the "jinx"! P-tooey!

[Was_Immer]

46. dont be so sure haha

[ClevelandSportsCurse]

41. Okay...how will the Yankees come back in the 9th?

I am guessing on a pair of three run homers.

[gratuitous]

49. Who says the Yankees will be down by only 6?

Mientkiewicz looks like he's ready to hit yet.

[JohnKleeb]

52. 1st and 2nd no one out

[BeyondGeography]

59. Yankees are toast

Pedro was our last, best hope.

[JohnKleeb]

62. do you wanna surrender to me?

:D

[BeyondGeography]

64. To an Orioles fan?

[JohnKleeb]

71. hah yeah

hey, just joking but yeah, after all you guys can't beat the future AL pennant winners like we have.

[BeyondGeography]

82. We'll just have to raid your roster, Kleeb

Just kidding, man. Enjoy the chat.

The better team is winning this series. And, for the record, the curse goes only goes away if they win the World Series, which I hope they do, right there in Fenway Park. They get to be happy, and nobody has to hear about the freakin' curse anymore.

[al bupp]

42. All in all, Timlin was a lot more impressive than Petey

[kcr]

53. And now the frickin

AOL logo is batting. This is ridiculous

[al bupp]

61. AOL, Auxillary Branch of the Evil Empire

That little stick figure is almost more annoying than Joe Buck.

[sasquatch]

54. Warm up the Ambulance!

We're three outs away from Stienbrenner's stroke:evilgrin:

[faithnotgreed]

73. oh man. that guy is gonna freak out. it would be worth it to buy ny post

just to see their headline tomorrow

[BeyondGeography]

57. Schilling's taking pictures in the dugout

Not terribly smart, Curt. I think Francona justt shot him a dirty look.

[gratuitous]

63. Just put the bat on the ball, Orlando

Base hit. Dinker. Dunker. Fly ball to medium outfield. Another run. You can do it.

[gratuitous]

67. There ya go. 10-3

It's up to you. New. York. Ne-eww Yo-o-o-o-o-rk!

[al bupp]

70. You got your wish

[hatrack]

68. 10-3 - WOO-HOO!!!

Thank you, Mr. Cabrera!! :toast:

[faithnotgreed]

75. you said it.. wonder how many colors steinbrenner is right now

on edit: it aint over though... and i dont wanna count on this just yet

[Clinton Crusader]

78. is he still among the LIVING? Guiliani just had a massive stroke!

:kick:

[faithnotgreed]

87. i dont wanna root for someone to get sick...

that guiliani has become a special case though

he and torre and rodriguez and the rest of the gop can go commiserate together but i dont want anything to happen to them - except to get this treatment from the red sox

[bloodyjack]

72. YES

[gratuitous]

76. All that hoopla to bring in Rivera?

Town gown gesture.

Uh oh, here's that man again, Yankees.

[faithnotgreed]

90. yeah, what was that about. theyre down by 7

[gratuitous]

79. Bottom of the 9th

Three outs to go . . .

[JohnKleeb]

80. fingers crossed

[elcondor]

84. Standing in front of my TV like an idiot . . .

[gratuitous]

[maveric]

85. Now I'm really fucking nervous!

Hail Mary Full of Grace.....

[Clinton Crusader]

89. I turned off the TV - 'watching' here, too nerve racking...

:kick:

[gratuitous]

92. Ohmigod! A seven run rally

Naw, just screwin' with ya. Matsui led off with a single, but there's nothing to worry about.

[Clinton Crusader]

94. I usually avoid yankee reports on local news like the PLAGUE...

but Ill watch em all tomorrow! There are gonna be lots of unhappy NY-ers tonight, but millions of happy ones - THIS is one happy NY-er!!

:bounce::bounce::bounce:
:kick:

[faithnotgreed]

[gratuitous]

104. Oh yeah

I'm looking forward to a LOT of long faces on SportsCenter tonight.

[gratuitous]

91. Save the deity for something important

No way the Yankees score seven. No way.

Curse? I piss on the curse! *Whizzzzzzz*

[ClevelandSportsCurse]

88. Okay....NOW how will the Yankees come back in the 9th? (revised)

I am guessing 3 runs from a series of base hits and walks and a grand slam with two outs and two strikes.

[FDRrocks]

97. Tonites been good

:)

[maveric]

93. Oh Oh!!

Lead man on. Williams is up, no outs.
Oh Shit!

[gratuitous]

95. Williams bounces into a fielder's choice

Two outs to go. Williams on first. Posada up to end the Yankees' season with a double play.

[hatrack]

96. Two outs away . . . .

This is so fricking bizarre. Aside from baseball, I don't give much of a damn about any sports, and I'm sweating bullets!

[faithnotgreed]

98. ooo 1 out away

[Clinton Crusader]

102. one one one one one one

:kick:

[JohnKleeb]

99. one out away

[gratuitous]

106. timlin has been awesome but that walk to lofton was just ugly

[al bupp]

110. He's tired

[Redneck Socialist]

107. Good job Timlin

Here comes Embree

[al bupp]

108. In comes Embree, one out left to the Yank's season

[gratuitous]

109. Lofton walks, Timlin out, Cornrow guy coming in
