How We Roll [Promoted Diary. Yeah. That's right.]
Look guys, we're down three in an ALCS. So what?! This is how we roll. You know, to make it interesting and stuff. Let the Rockies have their sweep. BOOOOORRRRRRINNNGGG. No, it's like the Mighty Casey...you spit on a few pitches before you send one out of the park. Gives the fans something to chew on. Anyone can come back from a game down, but three? That takes brass balls. Brass Balls are a major export for our region so I'm not really worried. We here in Red Sox Nation have a flair for the dramatic. And not the hot-pink purse with black pumps type of flair no, no, no. We're talking trip, fall, and accidently knock over the Empire State Building-type flair for the dramatic. So now comes the fun part. The winning. THIS is how we roll.
[Post script: If we win, I'm a genius and this post is totally serious. If we lose, I'm snarking.]
[editor's note, by Allen Chace]Speaking of Brass Balls, how bout B Cap here?

Re: How We Roll [Promoted Diary. Yeah. That's righ
If we did against f**** Yankees on 2004 we can do this year against this little indians.
Beckett will send back the series to Boston.
I really can't understand why the starters and bullpen are working this way. Schilling and Wakefield can do better and Matsuzaka has to win a postseason game. We are giving indians a lot of facilities, it's incredible 7 runs in an 11th inning in Feenway and it's incredible repeat again in a horrible 5th full of individual errors. Please Francona manage the pitchers better, if Matsuzaka is mental fragile, don't move from second at home to a road third game... and if Wakefield has back problems and has a long absence from games don't use it in a death or alive game...
By the way, I believe!

FIRE FIRE FIRE
it is absolutely not working with Drew and Crisp in.
i hate to say it but september is gone.
Drew looks right now to me like at the worst part of the season. weak grounders out of everything!
today we face CC a lefty and i still would prefer to see our Navajo warrior instead of Kielty (or Drew).
in case somebody missed it ellsbury is the only Indian in the series vs the indians.
Jacob Ellsbury is the frist major leaguer from Navajo descent.
his family and clan names translate to something like:
Red Running Into Water and
Antilope Feet
nomen est omen : )
(http://www.boston.com/sports/baseball/redsox/articles/2007/03/11/ellsbury_a_rare_talent/)
i know they like Kielty vs LHP but Ellsbury did fine too against lefties.
give the kid a chance against this very mean pitcher and i am sure the team will benefit from his energy and fighting spirit.
GO SOX !
GO ANTILOPE FEET !

Somehow I don't see him doing the single tear if the crowd throws trash on the field.

I get the distinct impression that those who make the most fuss over it have no standing in the matter.

Re: Channeling 2004... 2004...2004...
The USA didn't praise Germany for the splendid bombing of Pearl Harbor (see the previous thread for that reference), so why should be praise Cleveland?

WTF ?
i saw that the first time and thought it was some type of typo.

you never saw a globe as child?

What's your point?
You didn't bother to look at the previous thread now, did you? Come on, admit it....

Re: WTF ?
AS YOU CAN SEE i did saw it in the first instance.
maybe i just missed your sweet sense of humor.
on the other hand the general american is not really known for his geographical knowledge so i really was not sure.
i admit that it is funny ; -)

Re: Channeling 2004... 2004...2004...
As a "face" of this blog, I will take responsibility for being fair and balanced. I think it's unfair to expect OTMers to do anything but try to figure out how the Sox can best change the course of this series.

But I mean, This is a Sox blog. I'm not going to write 1000 words on the finer points of Casey Blake. I could. They're out there to document.

Speaking of wholesale changes...
Man, that's drastic.
I mean, sure, Pujols has slipped a bit of late, but 23 new players? Wow!

By the way,
And technically, they're really only down one. I say "one" because it's one game to win or be eliminated. There's no sense discussing who might pitch Game 6 or 7 if Game 5 isn't won. That's one game. Game 6, will be one game. Game 7 will also be one game.
We're just one win away from another win away, from another win away.
I realize I'm not verbalizing this well, but it's all down to one game. One game at a time.

Remember this?
We win behind Beckett. We win behind Schilling. We win behind Matsuzaka.

Game 7s are coin tosses, but we are at home and Dice-k will give us a WBC type performance.
I believe.
But we do need someone other than Papi, Manny, and Lowell to get hot.
Hey J. D. Drew, what about it?
Time to earn your paycheck. I promise that if you go on a 12-16, 3 hr, 12 rbi, type run in the last 3 games of the ALCS, nobody will talk about you stealing money this year.
