Time to finish what you started. Let's do this thing boys.

Lighten the f*** up. And I dont want anyone telling me to not jinx anything, and the Cubs did the same thing. Were not the Cubs, we dont have a curse, and we have dominated the Halos.

 

Its out year.

I'm glad somebody said it. Of all the long-drought teams, we're the only ones who haven't blamed an outside source for our failure (i.e. The Curse). I think that really says something about the character of the fan base. No excuses, just win!!!

I'm not taking anything for granted.  We are in an unbelievable situation right now.  But,  as that other lame team in Chicago taught us 2 years ago,  it's ain't over until it's over.  We gotta go for the throat in game 5.  Don't give them any kinda hope they can get back in this thing.  I think Jose is the right man for the job.  I still can't believe this is happening.

Think we can hire Bartman to snag an Angels' foul ball? Vladdy would be so pissed...

I like the chances of Jose C to continue where he left off in game 1. He settled down after the Angels took a 3-0 lead early on. The key is to give him the early lead this time. After a 2nd time around I don't see how we cant hit this Byrd guy. He throws a lot of junk- the key is for our hitters to wait for his fast ball and let it loose. Could it be 4 straight complete games? It can happen. LETS GET IT STARTED!

I LIVE FOR THIS! 1 more win!

Interesting.

 

Byrd v Contreras is, on paper, the matchup that favors us most. But behold, the one time we saw it, Byrd laid eggs on the scoreboard, and we've actually done better and better as the matchups became less and less favorable. The reverse has also been true.

 

Tomorrow is a must-win in many respects. Another off day might cause the good-hitting team and the bad-hitting team to switch places. It will be necessary to ride this hot streak out -- but recent history is against us.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

What happened to Santana being "unhittable" like you said? Didn't you predict that last night would be an automatic loss? In your eyes, the Sox are always the underdogs. Are you even enjoying this or are you waiting for the Sox to lose?

Just like Garland was going to be all walks and HR's? And Freddy was going to suck? I dont remember, did you say anything about Buehrle or Contreras sucking the first time?

Just shut the f*** up about your s*** predictions.

Time to hand out the pwnings tonight and head to the World Series...

The stat of 3 straight CG is amazing

I can't wait for the first pitch ~and~

 

I am so nervous . . .

 

I never thought I would live to see this day, a chance to clich.

Wow Tex, where did you find that in your sig?

 

It's almost like Houston and the Sox are meant to be this year, isn't it?

 

We'll see. There's still a LOT of baseball to be played, in both series.

I actually felt really good about the Jose/Byrd matchup the first time around. Perhaps I shouldn't have been; the Sox tend to do poorly against veteran junkballers.

 

But the fact remains: the pitching matchups that favor us (Jose/Byrd, Buerhle/Washburn) we have either lost or won narrowly. The pitching matchups that favor Anaheim (anyone v. Lackey and Santana) we have won in a rather amazing manner.

 

But we will now be faced with two matchups that once again -should- favor us. Can we finally hit a veteran junkballer not named Wakefield or Moyer? Can we pull an August 18, 2003 against Washburn?

Duct tape Joey Cora's arms to his sides and keep Steve Bartman as far away from California as possible and get his thing done. We are going Byrd hunting! And if we shoot a few Cubs along the way, so be it.

It's Eat What You Kill Time!

 

Unlike stupid evil wrongdoers who allow the hero a moment to escape, the Sox have their feet on the Angel's throats, time to finish them off.

You know the old saying....................A BYRD in hand is worth 2 less games in ALCS and on to the World Series.

 

 

Enjoy the ride i sure am!

I got my tix to the game. Sec 123 ,right field side, behind home plate field level. Look for the old tall skinny geek with glasses. Damn I'm stoked for this !! Can possibly witness firsthand what no Sox fan has seen since 1959. Go get em Count !!

Guys, I've really enjoyed sharing this special season with all of you.

I can't believe tonight may be the night that WE WIN THE PENNANT.

 

Let's end it tonight!!!

 

I hope we don't have to see the Sox in pinstripes, unless it's against the Astros or Cardinals next Saturday!!!

 

 

Just checked the Weather Channel, looks like rain. I am hoping more for a reign to start than rain myself Weather for Game

Any chance that the game gets postponed tonight?

Might be some rain but doesn't look to bad atleast I don't think so. Someone who can actually read the radar well might say different.

I hope not, only seems to be calling for scattered showers. We might experience some "Rain Delay Theatre" which could cause mass suicides with Buck, McCarver, and Lou hosting.
