Flash Tizzle

With Lescanic pitching the 7 run lead would have quickly become 4 or 3. Remember, over the regular season the Yankess had more comeback victories than any team in the majors. Why give New York an opportunity in such a crucial game? Mop up rolls don't exist in deciding games with divisional rivals when the ALC is at stake.

-Why you so pessimistic? The offseason hasn't even begun! -There's plenty of time between now and spring training for KW to sign him. -KW always makes a big move before Soxfest! -Increased revenue from ticket sales and the Comcast deal should make us buyers in the FA market! -Not every team can begin a bidding war with Carl Pavano...or Pedro Martinez...or Carlos Beltran...or Brad Radke....or Odalis Perez. -Minnesota lost [insert name], we can still win the division by default! Thought I'd list all the various excuses you'll hear when JR sits on his ass, and people calm themselves with these false beliefs.

5 outs remaining. Sorry Jeter. Chew your gum and accept failure like a man, b****.

Alright. It's painfully obvious The Baseball Gods have forsaken the Yankees. Bellhorn hit a foul pole shot reminiscent of Franks HR last year off Roger Clemens.

Once again, Miguel Cairo reaffirms my belief he bats EVERY INNING. Whenever a Yankee is on base with 2 outs this goof strolls to the plate.

I'm guessing to halt any rallies, and to add further embarrassment to Boston's domination of these last four games.

This is comical. Yankee hitters are utterly confused by Lowe yet immediately smash Pedro. It's as if they've finally realized the ghost of Babe Ruth would rather drink in a dark corner then help their cheating team.

Well, Boston is the only team EVER in MLB history to overcome a 3-0 deficit. Yankee fans should become accustomed to hearing the word "choke" this upcoming offseason.

These last several post seasons (dating 2001 to now) have been worthy of vast attention. Whether it be numerous World Series extending to 7 games, Red Sox/Yankee rivalry, or the Cubs choking, exciting storylines have attached themselves to post season baseball. We've come to expect too much. The reason I mention this idea because if the White Sox were to advance into the World Series, I would prefer a series sweep to a 7 game thriller. Just as Boston fans rather keep this 7 run lead exactly as is. Problem is the entire national audience outside of Chicago wouldn't care less about our team and would label our run as "boring." It's almost as if anything besides Yankees/Red Sox battling for the AL pennant won't draw high Nielsen ratings. Would anyone besides Sox fans care if the White Sox made it to the World Series?

How can The Babe allow this to happen in his own house? f***ing drunk. Yankees are showcasing their version of White Sox inspired Corpseball tonight. Lowe is simply mowing through these chokers.

Scooter might have been useful for viewers unfamiliar with a slider, but a FASTBALL? I'd expect it for a Cubs telecast, not Game 1 of the American League Championship Series.

Here's a clue for the Yankees: DON'T PITCH TO SHREK WITH RUNNERS ON BASE. Fat pile of crap is carrying Bostons offense and Brown lays a pitch in Ortiz power zone.

Welcome aboard Mariotti! Not only Boston, but the Yankees will desperately need the offense to perform. Both teams have hit tonights starters (Lowe/Brown) well, and it will likely be the battle of the rotations. Vazquez/Hernandez should fill the void of middle innings if trouble arises, just as Wakefield/Martinez(?) will do the same. I wouldn't dismiss Martinez pitching an inning out of the bullpen if this game is close. The Foulkamaniacs can not expect their man to work another scoreless outing. Boston's bridge needs to be shortened with pitchers not named Mendoza or Myers. Yesterday I rationalized Boston would win tonight ONLY because it doesn't seem right to fight from a 3-0 deficit, win three straight games, and lose Game 7. Stats aside, Boston is facing a huge force of momentum while the Yankees are dealing with tremendous pressure. Win or lose, their comeback was amazing; as evident by no other MLB ever accomplishing it. I realize Boston losing would be the ultimate tease for their fans, and that alone makes it feasible, but I don't believe they'll lose tonight. My prediction: 7-3 Red Saux.

They probably are but I'm not worried. Foulke will hammer down the save and force a Game 7. Boston will win and advance into the World Series. You just don't lose 3 straight games up 3-0 and expect momentum to shift.

Alright Yankee fans. Your hope lies on the bat of TONY CLARK. LOL!

Wow have the Yankees choked. While I admit my preference in this series was for the Yanks, I just don't forsee Boston losing Game 7. You can't make history (First to force a Game 7 following a 3-0 deficit) and NOT go the extra step. Someone in the New York clubhouse must have cursed the existence of the Baseball Gods, or pissed on Babe Ruths monument in the bullpen. I'm posting this before the conclusion of the game I'm so damn confident Boston will win.

This begs the question whether or not this incident will grace national news. Yankees embody MLB, and for their fans to be guilty of such moronic acts should be heavily covered. I know Mariotti will be grateful to include another Ligue reference into his column.

This is unreal. Yankee security officials are placing police officers (with riot gear) alongside the RF,LF stands.

Fo shizzle. If there's one addition our school needs its more Sox fans.

The Ghost of Ruth will not enjoy this development. Two important officiating calls go against the Yanks in their own stadium? Unheard of.

Robert Fick was the culprit. That places A-Rod in terrible company.

Disgruntled Yankee fans throwing baseballs onto the field. It must be another New York tradition the media will soon embrace.

I'll be damned. The person directly to the right of the drunken goof is a classmate of mine at UIC. You can see the 'Illinois' peaking out of the sweater. I'll have to show him this s***.

I heard this suggestion last offseason. Nothing happened. Sox fans deserve to b**** until management makes a move.

Dan Jiggets made sure to include a dig about fans running on the field to KW. The discussion was about an Eagles security official knocking over a referee, to which Jiggets said, " I know I won't ask you about that Kenny, with all the problems you've had with fans interfering." I realize it was in good nature, but I would love to hear Jiggets bring up Chicago Tribune scalpers or fans throwing trash on field to Hendry.
