You're on the Red Sox? What position do you play, pitcher or catcher?

I don't know that Dhino or I used those words in any of our posts on game 2. [/b]

i was reading back from your Angels posts.
 
  one other thing....totally different feeling losing to the Indians than the Yankees.  i am SO glad we're not playing them...every loss is like twice as bad.
 
   though, i do want to be the team to shut this Rockies hullabaloo up. [/b]

I'm a little disappointed that I didn't get an interview....
 
 Angels GM resigns, replaced by Reagins
 
 And if you think I'm joking about sending in my resume, you don't know me very well.

Last time the Rockies lost a game, I went and saw The Aliens and they put a smile back on my face.  In fact, since I saw them play the song Rox, the Rox have not lost.  Hence, I have been blasting the Aliens before every game including while making my way to game 4 last night.  After the one game playoff, and the game 3 sweep of the Phils, I did not think I could ever experience a better baseball game.  Last night topped them both as it was truly magical.  After the trophy presentation, Fuentes and Francis came up our aisle and we followed them to behind the left field seats where they raised the National League Champions flag.  I then gave Francis a high five.  How is this for my October 27th and 28th, game 3 of the series with a nightcap of Kinski and The Warlocks, game 4 of the series with the possibility of catching half of JAMC.  There is only one Rocktober.  Bring on the AL!

while i appreciate the sentiment you're trying to get across, that writing is worthy of danielle steele.  barf.

Racist much?

Sorry about that - go Tribe!

Oh, and from Boz:
 
 'But, except for the $143 million, buy-a-title Red Sox -- who now look so much like the Empire they claim to hate that they should consider switching to pinstripes -- this October is going to be a tale about how less can be more. '
 
 Amen, brother.

 How are you Sox fans feeling about your backend? Do you even want to see Gagne touch a baseball?  

Damn.  I just wrote about the wrong series.  This Tribe team is doing everything I hoped the Angels would do - Boston has been on it's heels since Gagne came in late in game 2.

no yankees. if no boston, fox will be upset.  no one will watch.

I beg to differ. i know you pride yourself on your sports knowledge, but its really been the lack of hitting on Bostons sides, or the backend of Clevelands rotation that did them in.
   losing 4-2 is not "really" Dice-K's fault, no one expected him to hold Cleveland scoreless! and our bullpen held very steady last night.
 
    i think you're only seeing whats right about your original posts. Wake's our 4th starter, it doesnt take a genius to figure out we dont want him picthing a crucial game! (tell Francona that though)
 
   duh!

Besides Becket, no starter has made it through the 5th.
 
 Schilling 4.2 Innings, 9 hits, 5 ER
 Dice-K 4.2 Innings, 4 ER on 6 hits and 2 walks
 Wake 4.2 Innings, 5 ER on 5 hits and 2 walks
 
 Sorry man, but that's bad starting pitching with an ERA of well over 7 no matter how you look at it.  It would take a ridiculous amount of offense to overcome that.  That's why, in the playoffs, it's all about pitching.

first
 
  we DID overcome it in Game 2
 
  game 3 we scored 2 runs, I know you dont follow the Sox every day, but we arent built to win that many 2-1 ballgames.
 
  and tonight was starter number 4.  
 
  i still think 3 starters deep we win series if we can hit decently.
   
  Sabathia and Carmona both looked like Poo as well.  hence my "backend of Cleveland's rotation" bit.  
 
  Westbrook and Byrd combined for what, 13 innings and 4 runs (2 of which came with a 4-0 lead and 2 others with a 7-0 lead)?  it'd take some damn good pitching to overcome that too..
