A paramour loved the Sox and that was my first foray into baseball. I grew attached watching them...and Jason is cute.:p

I wish they were playing down there Darla!

I can hear them hollering from Fenway Park here in my apt. They had a damn flyover that shook the whole building! Between the roar of the crowd, the helicopters overhead, the mounted police going down the back alley, it's going to be a pain in the ass to get some sleep!

:( First time I've missed living near Boston since I moved - I always loved hearing the flyovers from Fenway.

I dunno, as a lifelong Sox fan I wouldn't get TOO fired up yet. IF the Sox take game 2, OK, then I'll be more confident.

Reason I say this is that when the series goes to Colo. the DH is gone. Either Youk, Ortiz or Lowell will sit and that takes some sting out of the lineup. You can't pitch around Manny and Ortiz....but you take Ortiz out of the lineup and it's a different story. With his bum knee, Ortiz is a defensive liability. You sit Lowell and then you have a very week defensive infield. My opinion is Youk will sit.

Let's not also forget that the Sox DO have some consistency issues on the mound. Schill isn't the pitcher that he used to be, Dice-K also had his issues coming down the stretch. I'm not convinced that Wake is 100% either. Colorado has a deeper bullpen than Boston does as well....anyhow, I'm taking the Sox in 7.

I can't believe I'm saying this, but I hope they sit Ortiz. With how cold it's going to be in Colorado and everythign else, why risk the injury AND have the big defensive liability on the road?

Wakefield was left of the roster for the series right? Anyways, I always hope the NL wins (pitchers should hit) and since the Rockies are my hometown team, go Rockies!

Yeah, I love when every ninth batter is just a gimme strikeout, and you're stuck with a hitter going .118 for the season. It's much more exciting than having someone who is there just to hit, aka, the only reason people even watch baseball.

Go Darla!!!

Actually it was pretty quiet last night. From what I heard, the schools had to have somewhere on campus set up for the kids to go watch the game. This got them out of the residential area's so that they couldn't disturb the rest of us.

And with the cops being out in full force kept everything else under control!

Thank God. I might actually survive this mess, as well as the city!

You mean so you can have some lardass that can barely make it to first trying for a HR at every at bat and pitchers pitching inside with virtual immunity? ;)

I would rather them go to only eight hitters if you're not going to allow the pitchers to hit.

Red Sox Nation was all right when it was just a concept, a group of people referred to by a common name. As soon as they started sending out cards and voting for presidents, it got retarded.

Touche good sir. I often wonder how I would feel on the subject if I was "brought up" with an NL team instead of an AL team. Because I certainly see the argument against DH's, just overall disagree.

Had me worried for a bit but well worth the wait. I'm excited about the future too since they have so much home grown talent(for little money)

Youkilis
Pedroia
Ellsbury
Bucholz
Lester
Papelbon
Del Carmen
Hansen (maybe next year?)

Locked up already with the sox for a few years
Drew - for better or worse
Beckett
Daisuke

The whole middle part of the order including Tek is where the turnover will be in the coming years. Manny is irreplaceable but think he has to go and Papi's knees are starting to go so it's unlikely he'd be resigned when his current deal is up. How long can Tek get behind the plate.

I think more championships are ahead - soon!

Not to be ungrateful, but haven't the last 2 World Series wins for the Sox been kind of anticlimactic?
BaggedLancer
10-29-2007, 08:53 AM
Yep, to be honest I wasn't even really focused on this glued to the TV like last one......At this point, with their payroll and their players, they SHOULD win the world series. However, had they lost a game or 2 and made it interesting.......it would have been that much better. The Rockies never took a commanding lead in any of the 4 games and any lead they had was held for an inning or two tops. It was actually on the boring side....

Had this series been against the Mets, or even the Cubs, I think it would have been a bit more exciting. The Rocks were just too overpowered in every department to make a genuine run at it.

2004 was all about the ALCS against the Yankees. The World series was just going through the motions; everyone knew the outcome after coming back from 3 - 0 in the Championship Series.

How about Arod giving the finger to New York? Who do you think is going to make a stab at him?

The Mets and the Cubs would have looked worse, period. That was some of the finest team hitting ever put on display by the Red Sox. Total discipline waiting for pitches in their wheelhouse. Not to mention a bit of luck in that they had so many seeing-eye singles and line drives to the left field line.

Defensively, tremendous starting pitching, they owned the corners. In the end, Rockies manager Clint Hurdle said it best, "they executed much better than us". That group of players created the Perfect Storm in baseball terms.

it also makes a manager use strategy...the DH extends careers though

of course yer excited for the future..there's no hope for any other team that isn't in New York, Chicago or LA..

Sure..every once in awhile a team that doesn't spend $150 million on payroll can win, but those teams have to be nearly perfect in draft picks and get VERY lucky on lower tier free agents..

kinda silly actually that there is no salary cap

but hey..If I was a Boston fan, I wouldn't care about anyone else either....you just won another World Series

plus the Sox have a GREAT chance at getting A-Rod now..rediculous
