I think 8

 

8.5 on 9/5 I think.

I think 8

 

And the other historic one was also 8, right? Was it the Mets or Phillies, one choking it away to the other?

Well the Mets choked it away much faster than the Red Sox and Braves did.

You know, in 2004, it wasn't watching Foulke underhand it to first that set me off in tears. It wasn't the pigpile on the field. It was watching Sox fans celebrate with each other. I don't root for laundry. I root for us.

 

As I said in the game thread, we (both in the sense of the SoSH community and Red Sox fans at large) are an incredible group. And we deserved a lot better than this team.

 

I'm really sorry, you guys.

 

Ugh, this is why people hate the Red Sox.

In the span of about 20 minutes, we saw the two worst September collapses in baseball history.

What a night of baseball.

 

Now the world has gotten bigger for us fans of under achieving teams.

Ugh, this is why people hate the Red Sox.

You give the White Sox that payroll and that front office and i'd be more then willing to get what i "deserve."

I've never believed I deserve anything when it comes to baseball or anything else in life for that matter.

 

I can either support the team I love or not. As far as deserving something for making that choice? Stupid.

Great night of baseball. I have a little problem with the way the Yankees used their pen, but screw it, the Red Sox went 7-20 in September. They don't deserve to be in.

But that's how the average Boston fan thinks. They truly believe that they are more deserving of championships than other teams.

Hahahahhaha go rays !!! What a great night .

There was a particularly annoying bosox fan in right field at camden yards tonight that made it hard for me to relate. He was laughing and clapping loudly, egging on orioles fans for seeming no reason. This was just before the bottom of the 9th inning. Bosox fans have an insulting sense of entitlement that rivals no one, considering what their team has done. I am quite happy to see them lose tonight.

Yup.

Just filled out the info for the Rays postseason ticket lottery. And unlike 2008 I won't have t sit in the Trop and watch TB manhandle the White Sox in the ALDS.

Quote from Adrian Gonzalez:

 

"Any team that doesn't make the playoffs that's supposed to is because of injuries, plain and simple."

The only bad thing that will come of this is that it will give people even more hope to come back from a big deficit late.

I think 8

 

 

One was at least 8 1/2 and the other was at much as 10 or 11 games, can't recall exactly off the top of my head.

I did the same thing.

 

 

I went to game 3 of the ALDS and game 7 of the ALCS in 08.

 

 

 

Good luck on getting tickets.

Oh God, I hadn't even considered that.

I was at the Trop to watch us drop two to the Rays in ALDS, and then was at the crazy extra inning ALCS Game 2 that was one of the best games I have ever attended live.

 

Post to let me know if you score tix.

I'll just leave this here, where all the fun begins: http://sonsofsamhorn.net/topic/68311-928-1.../page__st__4340

 

A preview:

 

f*** you dice k go out and leave everything on the field in the WBC then pitch in the mlb and get beat like a ginger step child. Hiroshima was awesome, f*** you.

 

f*** you Lackey, scum of the earth, burn in hell you piece of s***. Go get cancer.

 

f*** you Bogar. Worth third base coach ever. Just die.

Seriously that was the coolest thing ever.

But that's how the average Boston fan thinks. They truly believe that they are more deserving of championships than other teams.

Colin Cowherd mentioned something last week about how Boston watches fewer National sports than any other market in the country. They are absolutely obsessed with their own teams, but hardly watch other teams when they are on National broadcasts.

 

They just don't give a s*** about anything other than themselves.

On September 3rd, the Rays had a 0.5% chance of making the playoffs.

 

The Red Sox were over 99% to make it.

 

Baseball....greatest game in the world. Period.

What a night! I'm so glad the Rays are in and Boston is out.
