    no matter the network, seems the camera always gets a close up before the F-bomb is dropped

    I hope that helps...


    no matter who wins this game, one thing is CERTAIN:

    female Angels fans at this game are way hotter than female Sox fans at Fenway. I'm a New Englander (misplaced in Texas), I know this is too, too true
  • TheVonTheVon Posts: 2,725
    Blasphemy.
  • TheVonTheVon Posts: 2,725
    I'm on a roll now. You're all welcome.
  • BarndogBarndog Posts: 20,492 ✭✭✭✭✭
    true, you know it is...

    AND ORTIZ COMES THRU!

    You must have helped him - Ortiz big RBI! How good of a game is Ellsbury having?

  • TheVonTheVon Posts: 2,725
    So far - Ellsbury and Lester are co-MVPs. That catch Ellsbury made was huge and getting on base and scoring runs hasn't hurt much either.

    Never been so happy about my cat waking me up at 1 AM to see the end of the game

    say, didn't the Sox snap a streak of WS winners since 2002 failing to win even one playoff game the following year? Sweet.
  • Bottom9thBottom9th Posts: 2,695 ✭✭
    Great game! Lester and Elsbury came thru big time. Looks like Elsbury picked up right where he left off last year.

    Only problem is living on the East Coast and watching the 10:00 game. I am dragging today....

    Certainly a nice way to begin the title defense!!!

    Central time is not much better. Asleep at 1:15 and the almost-four-year-old woke me at 4:13! But WHO CARES, the Sox won!
  • they should play some damn day games!
  • ConnecticoinConnecticoin Posts: 12,868 ✭✭✭✭✭
    Wow, outstanding performance by Lester!

    Nice recovery by Lowrie to not let the error rattle him. Bay and Ellsbury picking up the offense, stellar defense, outstanding team effort! image
  • You forgot Youkilis at the plate and in the field.
    And let's give props to Varitek for keeping the fastballs on the inner half most of the night. I think I saw
    three fastballs on the outer half all night for Lester. V-Tek called a great game.
  • perkdogperkdog Posts: 30,661 ✭✭✭✭✭
    Im freakin steamed I fell asleep but what a way to jumpstart my work day hearing they won on the radio at 5:50am!!!!! LOL No coffee needed!!

    Huge win! But we got a long way to go, these Angels are a tough squad!
  • TheVonTheVon Posts: 2,725
    I've got to admit, I don't like our chances with Dice-K on the hill tonight. I know that somehow all year long he has managed to walk batters and find a way out of jams, but with the Angels combination of aggressive hitting, fundamental skills, and speed, I'm afraid 5 or 6 walks could easily translate into 5 or 6 runs. I hope to God that I'm wrong though.

    excellent, your trashing of Matsuzaka will do nothing but help him! Just like Bay, just like Ortiz. Looking forward to the game

    Did those sissies really just let Youkilis reach in and take it out with his arm still attached?

    Clearly you don't watch enough NBA - or you would have been sick of both WAAAAAY before this

    Agreed. He is still injured way too much, but Theo should have know what he was getting into, given his history.

    The post-season heroics to date certainly help make up for it!!
  • ConnecticoinConnecticoin Posts: 12,868 ✭✭✭✭✭


    << <i>Where are all the Dice-k is overpaid comments?? Great game! >>



    Dice-K was rather Dicey, but he pitched through like the warrior he is. Pap was outstanding!!

    What is stupid is Pap gets a "blown save" for letting a runner from third score with no outs with a one run lead. That situation is a TAD more difficult that no outs, no one on base, and a three run lead.


  • << <i>Did those sissies really just let Youkilis reach in and take it out with his arm still attached? >>



    Youk caught the ball in the photographer area. Those photographers are trained to lay down when the ball gets near them. They
    would lose their spot if they ever interfered. The ump was right there, and if a fan interfered, it would have been an obvious out.
  • ConnecticoinConnecticoin Posts: 12,868 ✭✭✭✭✭


    << <i> The ump was right there, and if a fan interfered, it would have been an obvious out. >>



    Not sure about that. I think the player is out only if the fan interfered in the field of play. If it is in the stands, anything goes. Remember Bartman?

    stats matter not in the postseason. All that matters is the W.

    If stats mattered, we'd be discussing Pedroia's lack of hitting

    I bailed in the first game just before Bay hit the dinger. However, I hung in to the end last night and a bit beyond. Well worth the wait, one helluva game. Those Angel fans need to dump the monkey thing, they really do look stupid waving a stuffed toy monkey around like it would actually have some effect on the game. Much like the foam tomahawk choppers here in Atlanta, it's just really silly.

    I am now officially changing my name for J D Drew from "oh God, the boat anchor" to "Mr. Drew, sir". Talk about a clutch homer!! My view of you know who in the bullpen remains unchanged, let us hope we don't see him unless it's a score of 15-0.

    Good karma with getting my REMDAWG license plate Thursday! image

    A bit weird to listen to Orsillo announce the Rays - White Sox game.

    Let's crush 'em Sunday!!

    I heard if we sweep, that Perkdog is gonna have a special clam bake party at a beach in NH with the Perkies providing the entertainment. imageimage

    Oh yes and then followed up by an all inclusive trip to Beantown for an all night party! image

    My girls a ready to go!
  • Bottom9thBottom9th Posts: 2,695 ✭✭
    Yes you're right Von...I don't watch much NBA!!!

    What a great game last night! Total team effort. Here's a scary thing Angels fans....we are winning with out the normal timely hitting from Pedroia. Watch out when he starts!

    Just got an email from the Rays and I have been selected to have the opportunity to purchase ALCS tickets to game 1-2. I'm buying them no matter what, but here's hoping it's Sox and Rays!!!
