GAME SEVEN Yankees vs Red Sox

this is big folks. Im glad Torre has finally shook up the line-up and moved the corpse like Giambi to 7th. I feel good about this one. Go Yankees!!!

Really, who will watch a Yankees/Marlins series?

I like the Sox. Don't ruin it for me.

let's see how Nick does in the 2 hole..........


LET'S GO YANKEES !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have all this energy so I've been dusting and cleaning my living room. My husband is thrilled! :D

I'm hoping this will be an instant classic game. I hope both pitchers are exquisite...with Pedro just that little bit better. ;)

Enjoy, gang!

Ill be happy if the Yanks destroy the Sox 11-2. But Im hoping for a 3-2 come from behind win on a 2-run HR by Jeter in the bottom of the 9th. Damn......its better than any drug.

And I say this with all due rancor toward the Yankees, but with two such closely-matched teams, you have to look toward the starting pitchers to make your decision. I don't recall Martinez being all that great in the Big Game Situation. Clemens, though, is a total animal and would throw the ball through a brick wall to beat the other team.

I have to give the edge to Clemens and the Yankees, especially since Rivera is well-rested and ready to saw off some bats should the Yanks be ahead after the 7th inning. The best defense against Rivera for the Sox is to have their offense clicking and be up by three, four or five runs come time for the Stretch.

I hope I'm very wrong.

And teams figure out how to hit Clemens's fastball after a game or two or three.

But Martinez is probably the trouble spot, that's true. His arm probably is shot, as it usually is this late in the season. (That's why he tends to blow Big Games, really.)

I figure the Sox win against the Yankees when they score five or more runs, lose if held to three, as a general rule this season.

The Sox jumped on Rocket Roger like a Republican on a campaign donation! They are in control right this second in the top of the 5th, but as we all know, you never know.

to properly honor Pedro (the senior-abuser), NY Yankees announce tonight is handgun night...

:evilgrin:

I've seen enough of the Yankees. Who wants to see them go to the World Series...AGAIN? Talk about boring.

NY just sucks less. Vermont all the way!!!!

now go milk your Vermont cows! :evilgrin:

a Bosox - Marlins World series...even though the poor ratings would serve Fox right for their terrible broadcasts...

No one wants to see the Yankees and their money win again. Everyone else in baseball who hate the Yankees - and that's basically everyone not in New York or Nicole Kidman - would pulling for the reverse of the curse.

I have not heard a single person pulling for the Yankees - and I've asked everyone and his mama.

Nicole Kidman was holdin it down last night !!!!!!!!....what a hottie !!!!!!

If I'd been sitting behind her, I'd have knocked it off her head. Who could see over that thing?

Most Americans are not morans after all! :)

True story about the Red Sox and me: The very first major league baseball game I ever covered as a reporter was a Boston/Detroit game on Apr 4, 1986 and a highlight of that experience was a ten-question or so interview with Bill Buckner.
Buckner chewed a combination of bubble gum and chewing tobacco and when he leaned in to give a response (we were sitting on the bench in the Boston dugout), ol' Bill's breath was full of tobaccoey goodness. The pink and brown confection was, in this smoker's personal opinion, was one of the woofiest things I have ever seen.
Still, Buckner was personally kind and gracious to me. I felt horrible for him when that ground ball skipped between his legs in the '86 World Series. He is a former NL batting champ, after all -- but he'll be remembered for that damned grounder.

The Tigers won 3-2, IIRC, and Vada Pinson told me that the hat I was wearing was "groovy."
ON EDIT: On re-reading the title of this post, I should add that I am not inferring that either Bill Buckner or Red Sox fans themselves are, per se, morons.

I got your drift about the morans.

I was just trying to feel a little love for the mindless Bushies - the 67% that hate Yankees includes some of them, too.

Pedro vs. Clemens. Game 7 in da' Bronx. Does baseball get any better than this?

YES...at Fenway Park having a Fenway Frank and a cold beer. It doesn't get any better than that!

As an O's fan I've had my team's heads thrown at by both, so I like neither. Give me a Greg Maddux style of pitcher any day of the week.

But of the two, let's put it this way. I strongly dislike Martinez, but I ABSOLUTELY POSITIVELY LOATHE Clemens.

Screw any team that can't have their own farm system and has to steal everyone elses players with money.

War Indians!

War Salary Cap!

He's not locating his pitches good, isn't getting the fastball into the 90s with any control. Maybe he'll settle down. I hope so.

then you let Wakefield finish them off.

:)

and they just showed some production...rats!

Pedro has a 3-0 lead in the third.

Splain that, Lucy.

I agree that Fox spins in sports as elsewhere but they don't call balls and strikes.

Quiet now. Tap your feet as you did in the last inning. Don't touch anything you haven't before..........

Just checking in support!

Sox, that is!

Milar pounds one out to left field. 4-0 BoSox.

Woooo Hooooo! Let's go Red Sox!

Roger pulled in the 4th

Justice is served.

Give it a rest. No need to get ugly.

It is well documented that Roger Clemens's biggest fan, is Roger Clemens.

Justice is served.

How is it ironic?

he asserted that he was the last chance the Sox had to win a Series.

Yah... whatever, Roger.

he keeps sitting them down and he's keeping the crowd out of the game. Maybe he'll get lucky a get a win without having his best stuff. He's got a two hit shutout going through four.

On edit: I posted this in the worng spot. Sorry folks.

I still don't see the irony. The guy had a bad night. The Sox still haven't won a Series. He has. So what? History is history. Let it be.

that you're not from New England?

That's something you should have learned long ago.

Whatever...nevermind :eyes:

Roll on, Columbia, Roll on!

and looks likely to play in the World Series... without him.

Do you even know what "irony" means?

It's fairly clear that you don't. It's not like he hasn't beaten his ex-team numerous times already and won a World Series. Sorry, but the guy just had a bad game at the wrong time. It's not anywhere near as dramatic as you're trying to make it appear.

I don't know what irony means. In fact, I know absolutely nothing about baseball, either. God am I busted, or what? An idiot, I am.

Excuse me while I watch the Yankees lose to the Red Sox. Maybe I'll learn something about both.

Enjoy the game.

You get all huffy and then storm off as if I was the cranky one. Sounds a little Axis II to me.

Yeah, enjoy the game, if you can.

I sure am!

Are you a psychologist?

I am whatever you need me to be!

Don't go changin' to try and please me.

Good riddance.

wasted that opportunity

Go Red Sox!

He's not fielding so well. Why isn't Aaron Boone in there?

s_m

Torre was rolling the dice.

Aaron's da man.

s_m

...and Boone has has a couple of errors this series.

Go Red Sox!

Nine outs left for the Yankees.

ack!

Seven outs to go, three hits in a row. Where's the manager? Let's get this guy off the mound while he can still win the game, please?

The sands of time slowly slip away from the Yankees, pitch by pitch, out by out. Mwahahahaha!!!

or is his night through? Yahoo shows 79 pitches for Pedro.

Make a change and make them adjust.

Long break for the stretch though.

Fake patriotism extends the 7th inning stretch, Pedro gets cold and here we are. Shit.

Celebrate when the 27th out is made.

Take me out to the ballgame
Take me out to the crowd
Buy me some peanuts and crackerjack
I don't care if I ever get back
For it's root, root, root for the Red Sox
If they don't win it's a shame
For it's one... two... three strikes you're out
At the old ball game.
===============================
I feel better now...

That patridiot sh*t is getting real annoying

2 out

4-2 Sox. Things may be getting interesting. Lets see if the Sox bullpen can hold on one last time if needed.

Miller! WTF? That was awful. Timlin is warming.

Millar just slipped and fell. Hopefully Boston can calm down. They've still got this under control.

Don't count them out yet.

Looks like he had something to prove after being moved down in the batting order.

Wooooo Hooooo! That was F'in huge!

there just might be a god after all. HR Ortiz!

Every run in this game has come off a home run.

"Cowboy up" Red Sox Nation.

The Sox have heart....

The pitcher throws the hanging curve
The batter, he's no dope
He waits until the ball doth swerve
Then strokes the frozen rope.

Take that, Grantland Rice!

Sox needed that extra run. :)

they're going to leave him in till he gives it away.

Maybe they're stretching him a tad bit too long.

If he lets Posada on, it's surely done for Pedro.

:bounce: :bounce:

:bounce: :bounce:

:bounce: :bounce:

brought an 88.5 mil contract starter in to relieve, too. Let's not even talk about the revenue advantage NY has. What a great accomplishment for your team, Yankees fans. :eyes:

is a stupid, stupid man

Martinez is great, but he just didn't have the good snap on his pitches like he did earlier in the game.

He's done a fantastic job.

(If Pedro gets the second out, you'd be claiming he's a genius.)

YANKEESSSSS !!!!!!!!!!! GOOOOO!!!!! This is too sweet

:cry:

The Red Sox better win...
-Lori

as far as drama...

Yankee Stadium. Yelling, obnoxious fans making life a living hell for the Red Sox. And of course, this is the Red Sox in October. Isn't something just bound to go wrong?

:mad:
