uhhhhh....
where’s the game? TBS has some other show on, even though the TV guide lists it as the game.
I am frightened.
Manny ain't the only bad man.
Why
do you want to hear Tim McCarver or something?
You'd think TBS
would at least have the courtesy to put a constant message at the bottom of the screen to inform the viewers. I only saw one announcement about technical difficulties. What a stupdi network!
WTF
is going on…
Never trust anyone from Georgia to get your game on… leave it to the professionals in LA.
seriously?

so far
Crisp singled and got picked off first.
Pedroia then popped out to third.
Papi strikes out again
maybe it’s better we can’t see it.

How long is this mess going to last?? Thanks for the play by play. I am in Texas and dying over here!!!
In the Boston area
you can follow on the radio on AM 680. Beckett fanned Iwamura. Upton up.

Ok, Tek is a fucking blackhole in the line-up. And we thought he couldn’t get any worse than he was in the season…
Mother---- him and John Wayne!
Believe it or not
There was a period this season where Tek was hitting very well.
May: .299 / .407 / .506
Subtract that month and he’s the epitome of awful.

Yes, two men on

Who’s more valuable? Youk or Pedroia? It’s a tough one. Glad we have both of them.
Now a little bit of love to a silent hero, then:
When they showed Alex Cora last game, I just knew we couldn’t lose. We all love you, Alex. You suck, but you kick ass!
Mother---- him and John Wayne!
Oh, boy
could be use a BIG hit here. Please throw Bay a fastball.
ball hits the catcher in the arm
or we have another run. damn!
Also, with Shields
keep driving that pitch count up…past 60 already
Agreed
Hes almost at 70 through three, he looks rattled, and his control is off. We need to strike hard next inning, then try and tire out their pen. Here’s hoping Tek and Lowrie can get it done…
Bartlett, you fucker
That’s the only way you can get on base, right sweetie?
Mother---- him and John Wayne!
These umpires are gutless
there is no excuse for allowing that
That bullshit non-call
is going to cost Beckett additional pitches. Fuckin’ umps ruin the game.

and his pitch count isn’t too high yet, only at 43 through 3, about 25 less than Shields

if things go well.

Justice!
but Josh had to work harder than he should have been made to do.
We FINALLY get Upton out.
They took the right approach in that AB. Work him on the outside corner.

To be fair
Upton missed one he should have hit a HR out of it. Outside of that pitch, it was the right approach indeed.

Watch the game and listen to WRKO (if you can). The announcing is SOOOOO much better.
"It's just a tiny little nick, but it hurts when I get champagne in there."
- Jason Bay, on getting spiked scoring the winning run in ALDS Game Four.
Pretty sad when the announcer
says “We’ll see how this chamge impacts the strike zone.”
Stupid MLB. I wonder if the strike zone will EVER be the same for everyone, the way it is supposed to be.
When computers take over the game.

My guess is he wants to be a starter somewhere.
Lowell will be back,Kotsay won’t have a position.
Manny ain't the only bad man.
I don't think Mikey has a lot of productive years left
It would be a shame to lose Kotsay because of Lowell. From what you guys say, iIt sounds more like the main thing is Kotsay wants to start or at least get more ABs than we will give him. Seems a shame. I think he’s valuable.

Kotsay too.
$8 million this year.
"It's just a tiny little nick, but it hurts when I get champagne in there."

Would love to.
And my guess is he’d listen, but only if no one offered him a starting position or at the least the primary platoon guy with someone else in CF. Think, maybe Cubs with Reed Johnson/Mark Kotsay in CF. He’d get the majority of the PAs in that situation. If he were only offered a part-time backup role elsewhere, I bet he’d listen seriously.

Oh shit!
I thought the pitcher was going to submarine it over the first baseman’s head! Almost!!

Baseball is an effed up sport
Youk smokes one, just foul. Then the next one is a very weak hit, and it’s fair! It’s maddening at times..

Just throw strikes, Justin
don’t give us freakin’ heart attacks.

A HBP?!?!

he's a great pitcher
and the Rays have won 2 of his last 7 starts.
Sox have won 6 of Lester’s last 8 starts.
I like our odds.
I can see how
people who aren’t Sox fans might dislike Paps. A bit of Ivan Drago in him.

Think of it!
We win the game on Varitek’s home run – his only hit of the series.
If sports insane or what?
TRUE GRIT – THIS TEAM REFUSES TO DIE!!!
Beckett came through HUGE
He was so weak in every other start, but he was a great contender tonight. The bullpen was also wonderful.

He was hurt, and he still pitched like the typical Beckett. I would have liked to see what he would have done tonight w/o being noticeably hurt…

He pitched his ass off with an 88 mph fastball. What a f’n stud.

oh, and...
I totally HEART francona
"You know," Girardi said, shrugging his shoulders, "it didn't work."
( Joe Girardi on pitching to Manny Ramirez with first base open)
Okie for two innings was pretty strong.
And Masterson for the 8th panned out. Francona didn’t have to do much managing in this one. Seems to me that he just let them play.
"It's just a tiny little nick, but it hurts when I get champagne in there."

I mean for the rotation
I am sure I am not alone wondering why Dice K pitched game 1 or why Lester wasnt on the mound tonight…
and because he seems like a nice guy…
"You know," Girardi said, shrugging his shoulders, "it didn't work."
( Joe Girardi on pitching to Manny Ramirez with first base open)
You weren't.
I’d say most of OTM wanted Lester for this game. Beckett was awesome though.

Oh no, tears are falling

Something is wrong as I hold you near
Somebody else holds your heart, yeah
You look at me with your eyes in tears
And then its raining, feels like its raining
Oh no, tears are falling
Oh no, tears are falling, whoo oh
Oh no, tears are falling, whoo oh
I saw you cry
And now its raining (yeah)
Looks like its raining (someone stole your heart)
And now its raining, feels like its raining
Oh no, tears are falling
Oh no, tears are falling, whoo oh
Oh no, tears are falling, someone stole your heart
Oh no, tears are falling, theyre falling from your eyes

It did kick ass.
And I do remember Haddaway, both from A Night at the Roxbury and more recent appropriations. I wanted to use it for the poll earlier, but “What is love” doesn’t really apply to a terrible loss.

- Jason Bay, on getting spiked scoring the winning run in ALDS Game Four.
Hahaha, yeah, true
The song is fucking great, and the dance they do in the movie is also awesome.
The great thing about Haddaway is that nearly all of his songs sound far too much like ‘What is Love’. He never quite got it right again, but my god ‘What Is Love’ is ever so great.
Good times. The 90’s were good times.

Hey, don't hate on the 1990s.
They were a simpler time. I miss the days when my president lied to me about his sex life rather than another country’s threat to us. And I miss having a booming [if bubbling] economy.
In one respect, the 2000s rock: Red Sox Domination!

God, Seagal has so many great moments it’s even hard to single out just one. I love his kick in Submerged, where he hits a fucking HR out of the bad guy while just barely lifting the leg. And there’s also one scene in Out of Reach where he had a stunt to walk in the woods (!!!).

OK I watched the entire game
Buck Martinez is a moron. His comment about Beckett & the “fountain of youth” was inane. What is Beckett? 28? 29?
This was a good game but some weird happenings with the TBS difficulties; the umpire injury delay & Varitek getting a hit
I hear ya about the economy – my 401K isnt looking so good & to make it worse—my house is heated with oil. Just let me get thru law school; get selected as a VP pick & then flip the script and become dictator queen president – it will be all good
"You know," Girardi said, shrugging his shoulders, "it didn't work."
( Joe Girardi on pitching to Manny Ramirez with first base open)
I used the TBS blackout
as an opportunity to put on WRKO. I left it on after the picture was restored. Joe Castiglione and his companion were about a million times better than Buck Martinez and Chip Caray. If you can get WRKO, I highly recommend listening to it.
I think you’d make a much better VP and presidente than Sarah Palin. Speaking of whom, you might find this video amusing.
