gah. 1 down

THATS WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT! way to go Javy

QUOTE (Sox It To Em @ Oct 2, 2008 -> 12:44 PM) I think so, but I'm not sure. cuz that strikes me as coming close to a line... i mean, we could just give every fan noisemakers and tell them to BLARE them when the opposing team is batting. that's stupid.

QUOTE (Sox It To Em @ Oct 2, 2008 -> 12:42 PM) Between the cowbells and Harold Reynolds, I am this close to muting my TV. not watching tv, these cowbells... like... literal cowbells in the fans hands or what?

and shields used a whole ten pitches. gah

wow guys. way to jump out early

dear god. let's work a pitch count for once ok?

QUOTE (MexSoxFan#1 @ Oct 2, 2008 -> 12:37 PM) why is Swisher not in for Wise???? because as great as ozzie's been lately... he's still ozzie

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Oct 2, 2008 -> 12:41 AM) Then there's the fact that Nick Swisher is sporting a 20.9% line drive percentage and .249 BABIP, he's been VERY unlucky this year. He's hitting the ball hard but right at people. At least if you get Swisher out there you have the chance that these line drives are gonna start falling. i completely agree. wise has been USELESS

the mets just can't catch a break

granderson's good at this analyst stuff. guarantee he does this once he retires.

QUOTE (SmashROT @ Oct 1, 2008 -> 10:33 PM) Yep Yep. It was after he crossed homeplate. My favorite moment by far was the diving catch for the win. Everyone in my section jumped off the groud with a collective gasp then cheer. I've never seen the look of relief on so many faces in my life. Relief not from making the catch, but from making the playoffs after so many mixed emotions during the season. It was the first time in a long time we could all enjoy the win without leering apprehension. Also the 30 seconds of Journey after the game gave me chills remembering '05. Too bad it was cut short by Thome's ode to the fans. it was a shame it was cut short. EVERYONE was singing it. it was amazing.

QUOTE (PlunketChris @ Oct 1, 2008 -> 02:10 PM) so.. we root for the Red Sox? I guess that's a larger topic that may be elsewhere, but who does everyone want to see win the other series? of COURSE we root for the red sox. they're by far the inferior and more banged up team

haha nobody's picking us. I love that.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Oct 1, 2008 -> 11:52 AM) If we win game 1 then we go up 2-0 when we come back to Chicago. Mark Buehrle does not lose post season games. haha true that. i may have just watched the '05 WS dvd....

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Oct 1, 2008 -> 10:44 AM) That. The Rays are a young, inexperienced team, so psychology is huge here. They are going in very confident, and at home. If the Sox take game 1 and rattle the Rays, I think the Sox have a 2 in 3 chance of winning. If not, I think the Rays get that same 2/3 chance. i think if we win either of those first two games we have a great shot coming back to our house - but winning the first one would be fantastic.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Oct 1, 2008 -> 09:02 AM) Russell has faced 1 batter since September 9th. I don't think he's in the plan, but, I could be wrong. More likely Wassermann in that case. Also, its possible they keep CQ in addition to that bench I mentioned earlier, and drop one from the pen, going with 7. yeah that's true. but i just don't trust Ramirez and when has Wassermann been any good at all?

QUOTE (smalls2598 @ Oct 1, 2008 -> 09:58 AM) Each series. cool. then no CQ for the ALDS, but he's in there for the ALCS. I'd put Russell over Ramirez actually...

do you have to set it for all of the playoffs or just each series?

d'ya think they just ran out of them and are running that one up as a current replacement?? all the other teams have the cap available.

QUOTE (SoCalSouthSider59 @ Oct 1, 2008 -> 09:31 AM) An assload, gotta love that! i'm not gonna touch that one.

QUOTE (MurcieOne @ Oct 1, 2008 -> 08:41 AM) understood, I was bemoaning the system though. back to your point... I think the shirt was different too, good question. ah. with that i agree.

no my point is, the one i pictured above is NOT the actual cap they wore after the game. 'twas much cooler.
