End it. Just end it. Break out that thing with the stick and the things on the bottom....

13nth inning i got to SnB, "blum's ending it next inning. he's due up 3rd, he's gonna end it." he laughs. game. over.

MY BRAIN IS MUSH. WOW.

Also, newbies, you all should know that Rally Crede is God.

Good, let Houston b**** about it. Anything to keep their mind off the game.

They never stop crying. They are a strange bunch.

You have to watch the outfielder, not the ball. As Burke continued to run full speed at the wall, Rowand should have been inching more and more to 2nd, and by the time Burke reached the wall, he should have been standing on 2nd base. At that point, if the ball drops, he's on 3rd, and if it's caught, he won't be doubled off because Burke just ran into the wall. Rowand's explanation was not correct either. Saying the ball was "hit so high" that he figured it was gone or caught at the wall doesn't take into account how the outfielder plays the ball. Burke will let you know if the ball is going to be caught easily. Whether or not an outfielder should make that play is irrelevant to me. He has to watch Burke, and as the play developed, Burke looked more and more out of control. It's not like he was standing under it and then dropped it. I don't see how Rowand ran back to first before the ball even came down, as Burke looked really out of control out there.

I thought McCarver said "how do these things happen?", and it wasn't a rip against the Sox. It was more in a "wow, october is unreal, eh?" kind of way. Like how does Pods of all guys end it off Lidge? I doubt he would ever say "why does this happen" and cry for the astros. He was just living up the moment. He may be terrible sometimes, but i liked what he had to say here. "How does this happen?" I have no idea Tim, but it's just awesome. Like they say, you can't script October.

#3 is what allows me to 'put up' with them.

WHAT JUST HAPPENED

Buehrle with a chance to put us up 2-0 tomorrow, that would be, well, um, absolutely huge.

3 MORE!!!!!!!!

College football is helping the time go by much faster.

Quinn is putting up arena football numbers today. BYU or not, this is ridiculous. He.is.good.

Watching both games from seat 3 of my couch

I'd be a fan of a complete white-out

Takatsu?

QUOTE(IndplsSoxFan @ Oct 20, 2005 -> 02:07 PM) It would be pretty cool if both teams dressed in throwback uniforms for one of the games. The '59 uniforms that they wore against the Dodgers were nice! You want to see the hideous rainbow jerseys the Astros used to have? Uh...

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Oct 20, 2005 -> 02:01 PM) Hey faith is what it is. I still think he will have his best performance with someone elses recruits, and his next years here will constantly be trying to reach that pinnacle again, with his own players. I just hope Thad can beat him again this year. I'm sick of repeating myself, but Self wouldn't have coached this team to a 2nd place finish in the tournament, nor a 37-2 record. Period. His players or not, he COACHED them to all those accomplishments.

QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ Oct 19, 2005 -> 04:55 PM) So then MLB and ticketmaster just decided on their own to have lotteries for some teams and not others? I'm sorry but that seems highly unlikely to me. Why would they do that? Business is business. Power is fluid. Unless someone can show me a valid reason why some teams have different deal than others, I have to choose the logical conclusion that some negotiation went on between the teams and MLB and/or ticketmaster. His logic is not flawed. The blanket statement "there is a deal between ticketmaster and mlb" doesn't explain anything. If it did, all teams would have the exact same ticket procedures.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Oct 19, 2005 -> 04:55 PM) wow, what were the guys doing 9 months ago???? Soxfest..

I thought you meant something else by your post, basically saying coaching doesn't matter and it's all about recruiting. Should have been in green.

QUOTE(Buehrle>Wood @ Oct 19, 2005 -> 04:42 PM) You guys need to understand that College Basketball is not about winning games or even championships. It's about getting the best recruits and most McDonald's All-Americans. Well that couldn't be further from the truth.

Why don't you just save us the hassle and post it. I don't want to be around IB right now.
