October 20, 200421 yr anyone care to make final score predictions?? Yankees will take an early lead and never look back. The final score will be 7-4 i am thinking.
October 20, 200421 yr Boston will live or die by their offense. Deep down, I see a Yankees win...but I want the Red Sox to slaughter the yankees. I will compromise: 9-8 Red Sox in 10. The fans were a little nuts at the Stadium last night...they were doing their impression of Shea fans...it could have been worse, they could have done their impression of fans at the cell. Another cold, overcast day here, however no drizzle is expected. I wouldn't mind having a little wind to help that knuckler. Go BoSox...nuff said.
October 20, 200421 yr Boston will win this. Book it. Best comeback in history we'll be watching down 0-3 and winning the series is simply amazing. Boston vs Houston in the WS like in my prediction I've made for a while now, and I'll root for Houston, but imo, Boston wins the World Series and breaks the curse. EDIT: 7-5 Sawks win.
October 20, 200421 yr Boston's best bet is to jump out to an early lead and then hold em, like yesterday. If I'ts close late in the game, Yankees will win.
October 20, 200421 yr The fans were a little nuts at the Stadium last night...they were doing their impression of Shea fans...it could have been worse, they could have done their impression of fans at the cell. 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.
October 20, 200421 yr what a series. man if our sox were in this one, i'd be drinking pepto by the gallon. i see the yankees winning this one because: -the red sox bullpen is in shambles. -derek jeter won't let his team lose -the yanks will shorten their swings and stop swinging for the fences every at bat -come on it's the yankees and red sox. -the yankees have gordon and mariano rested. i hope that if the sox do lose, it's a blowout. those poor people don't deserve another classic meltdown.
October 20, 200421 yr The Red Sox have already made history by forcing Game 7 to exist. I say they go all the way and win it all. If the Yanks lose, it’ll be one of the biggest CHOKES there’s been.
October 20, 200421 yr I'll take the Yankees, coming back from down 2-0, to win it 3-2. The storybook ending to a great series... (Not really storybook, but the so-called "curse" continues, and yet another offseason of ESPN splooging all over the Cubs/BoSox curses).
October 20, 200421 yr I have a test from 9:15 to 10:05 PM tonight..... This game better not be over.....
October 20, 200421 yr Sawks win 5-3...score is 3-3 going to the 8th, Sawks put two up against Flash, and they don't look back And then the Stros/Cards destroy them in the World Series
October 21, 200421 yr I have a test from 9:15 to 10:05 PM tonight..... This game better not be over..... '97 I missed game 7 of the World series. f***ing Calculus.
October 21, 200421 yr '97 I missed game 7 of the World series. f***ing Calculus. I hate Calculus, I'm in it now and have a test tomorrow on it.
