I have been punished for lack of faith in my Red Sox...

[joeybee12]

...didn't watch the bottom of the ninth, because I was so disgusted by the top of the ninth!

I missed it!

Geesh!

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

1. Ahh! I bet you're the type that didn't watch Game 4 of the ALCS!

[joeybee12]

2. Actually...I watched it! I sort of thought they might win

that game because of the blow-out the night before. whenever the Sox pile on the runs, they lose the next night--figured that might happen to the Yankees.

BUT, I didn't believe until after Game 5!

[sniffa]

8. i was the DUer that

said after game 2, that i hope the red sox Lose game 3, so they can come back to win 4 straight and give yankee fans just a LittLe taste of what we go through.

ahhh, it stiLL feeLs great! :evilgrin:

[JohnKleeb]

10. It was the ultimate irony that the Yankees would blow a 3-0 lead

I hear those apples were granny smiths but I dont know, and I dont know if they liked them apples or not, either way, someone has to cool em off, but I am not worried about them at all, they're not at 500 yet, and my team has a 667 winning percentage, and we just took two of three from a talented team.

[joeybee12]

16. I hear ya!

:evilgrin:

[BOSSHOG]

3. I've been a Philly Fan for 45 years - speaking of punishment

[joeybee12]

15. That's pretty bad--but come talk to me in 86 years!

;-)

[redsoxliberal]

4. it was amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!

[joeybee12]

17. Now let's just hope they do well on this road trip

coming up--Seattle and Oakland--should be easy, but you notice that I said "should."

[MaineDem]

5. Oh ye of little faith

Didn't 2004 teach you ANYTHING???

;)

These come-from-behind walk-offs are giving me indigestion, though.

Edited for spelling.

[joeybee12]

14. Apparently I haven't learned anything!

Or maybe me not watching is a good thing. I missed Kevin's HR the night before. It wasn't intentional. My father started talking to me, and I keep looking back at the game, didn't see it, and then saw everyone jumping up and down at home plate!

[cruadin]

6. I didn't see/ hear any of that game (work sucks), but it looks...

like it was another high-wire act.

What's up with Foulke this year---Yikes! 4 runs in the 9th--I just checked the pitching line, he gets charged with a Blown Save AND credited with a Win--LOL. :D

Seriously though, Foulke has to start shutting the door when he comes in--Thank God for Cap'n Tek (and Millar last night).

[joeybee12]

13. Yeah, after the game it was all about Foulke (and Jason)

I still haven't figured out how he gets credited with the win, and Clement doesn't! :shrug:

[MaineDem]

18. Foulke lost the lead so Clement got a no-decision

Clement was then out of the picture.

Foulke was also the pitcher of record when Boston went ahead so he gets the Win.

[joeybee12]

19. Yeah, but to me it still doesn't make sense because

Clement left the game with a lead. I do see your explanation, but still, the rules themselves don't make sense in this case!

[bigwillq]

7. Yea, you're a fan!

:eyes: :P

GO YANKS!

[joeybee12]

12. Gee, aren't your Yankees almost at .500?

Almost is the key word. :evilgrin:

[bigwillq]

24. We'll be over the hump soon enough!

:bounce:

[joeybee12]

25. Road trip!

Seriously, they need to do well against Oakland at Oakland to get over the hump. Oakland stinks, as does Seattle, so the next two series will truly tell what is what!

[JohnKleeb]

26. who do they play after that?

I was impressed with how the Orioles managed the twins really, average of 3.3 runs allowed per game in the series, and averaging around 5 runs per game against a good staff, Chitown I think will be a challenge, I'd love to sweep em but they are red hot.

[joeybee12]

40. I believe the Red Sox play Seattle, then Oakland, while the

skankees play Oakland, and then Seattle. Have to check for afterwards!

Oh, tough loss last night!

[JohnKleeb]

9. ahh you have to have more faith than that man

O's were down 6 last weekend and I didnt give up.

[joeybee12]

11. Yeah, but this game was one thaey had wrapped up--4-1

lead throughout, and 2 outs in the top of the ninth. They got lazy!

[JohnKleeb]

20. I dont blame ya

truth be told.

[joeybee12]

21. They won, but it was still a frustrating game, because they

out-played them for 8 innings, and then just sort of lost concentration. True, it was Foulk, but they should have been able to put a few more runs on the board so that there wasn't any need for bottom of the ninth dramatics!

[JohnKleeb]

22. I know how that is

When we came back agaisnt Kansas City last sunday, it looked like a comeback was nearly achived, then that bs balk against Kline, hes still pissed about it and rightfully so, but ahh well, ya win some, ya lose some.

[joeybee12]

23. KC and Oakland--teams there shouldn't be any question about beating!

[JohnKleeb]

27. ahh man

All I can say is thank god they didnt get off to a good start because if they had, they would be pulling away. Though our schedule for the rest of the month is relatively easy with the exception of the Chisox, tonight should be great, Chen Vs Garland, Garland will be 7-0 if he wins tonight, I dont want that, Chen will be 5-1, and the second 5 game winner on the orioles.

[redsoxliberal]

28. I expect Garland will win...

Chen is shit. Really.

[cruadin]

29. Why so down on Chen? I only saw the two games he pitched...

against Boston, but he didn't look THAT bad compared to some of the other pitching in the league right now.

BTW - I think Garland is probably the better pitcher in tonight's match-up.

[redsoxliberal]

30. chen used to be a red sox

i;ve seen enough

[JohnKleeb]

32. there was this hall of fame pitcher I forget his name

but he started out dreadful with the sox but became a hall of famer with the yanks, ahh yeah red ruffing was the name, I am not saying Chen is gonna go to the hall but maybe he just wasnt a good fit for the sox and youre looking to be right thus far, Garland is damn amazing sadly.

[redsoxliberal]

33. It's not like Chen started with the sox

he's a journeyman lefty. I'd be surprised if he is still above .500 at seasons end. I will be SHOCKED if he has an ERA under 4.25.

[JohnKleeb]

34. I know that

he may find his niche in baltimore though, hes done a reasonbly good job for us, hes pitched good against some very good teams but that may not last but you never know.

[redsoxliberal]

37. which good teams? I thought Baltimore had faced mostly shit teams

[JohnKleeb]

38. you guys twice

and the Yankees despite their crummy record are a good team with that lineup. Whatever, droppin it. BTW I am looking at his career stast now, only five games he pitched.

[redsoxliberal]

39. no you're not.

[JohnKleeb]

31. I think Garland is the better too but Chen is good

[redsoxliberal]

35. i actually think hes terrible

[JohnKleeb]

36. entitled to your opinion
