October 25, 200718 yr Ha. The execs at Fox were most likely wetting themselves with excitement when when Boston won the ALCS, but their ratings will suck if this is a blowout. Although... The [Red] Sox's 13 runs set a franchise record for any Series game. The 12-run victory margin was the biggest in a Game 1; the 1996 Braves (12-1) and 1959 White Sox (11-0) had the previous records. Both lost the Series in six games. http://www.courant.com/sports/baseball/hc-...0,5256941.story
October 25, 200718 yr Say what you will, but I think this series can go either way. What hurt the rockies more then anything was that lay over, 8 days is a ridiculous amount of time to have off and try and stay hot. What the Rockies need tonight is a dominate start from Jimenez. If not, then this series is over.

If not, then this series is over. The 8 game layoff should hurt the hitting timing, but I am not buying the pitching part. Our pitchers in 05, like Garland sat around for a long time because of how quick we ended our series. Remember Garland didnt pitch in the DS, and then didnt pitch until game 4 in the CS. Freddy also had some time off. The pitched pretty well in those playoffs.

HE came out with absolutely nothing offspeed working. He couldn't even throw the 2 seamer for a strike, and that's been his bread and butter. He got through that game by somehow finding a 94-95 mph fastball, totally changing what he usually does, and shutting them down with that. I still don't know how he did it. You could clearly see how rusty he was; somehow he was just good enough to adapt.
October 26, 200718 yr are those the Rockies out there? I couldn't tell because they're in their grey uniforms.
October 26, 200718 yr i thought JD drew would've been out for the 2008 season with getting hit by that pitch, he seems to always get injured.
October 26, 200718 yr QUOTE(witesoxfan @ Oct 25, 2007 -> 08:07 PM) I think I have a crush on Ubaldo I've seen him make one mistake; it nearly cost him 3 runs.
October 26, 200718 yr and the Red Sox bullpen is by far the stupidest thing I've seen in quite some time. I hate the Red Sox in so many ways it's probably against the law.
October 26, 200718 yr QUOTE(jackie hayes @ Oct 25, 2007 -> 06:56 PM) Does McCarver know the difference between a cutter and a splitter? "I don't think that taste is there."

October 26, 200718 yr Come on Rockies, the kid only gave up 2 runs to this lineup and you're facing a 40 year old, you gotta get more than 1 run.
October 26, 200718 yr Thanks to Jacoby Ellsbury stealing a base in the 4th inning of this game, Taco Bell is going to give a free taco to anyone who shows up between 2 and 5 on October 30th.

"90 ft. to free tacos..." + "Run for the border" + Steals I mean, if you're TB, is this really the promo you want to sign up for?
October 26, 200718 yr It'll probably work, but anyone else think this is just too early to take Schilling out, even with the offday tomorrow?
October 26, 200718 yr It baffles me how Ikojima does so good. He doesn't really have any stuff, it's just that he that head jerk and I guess that throws all the hitters off... Well, time for Holliday to run the party.
