Well opening day is upon us , and I thought I'de start Baseball thread..

So, whos your team , who looks good to you this season, ect..?

As you can tell , Im a Giants fan. Always have been. Always will.

Of course the Yankees have phenominal team, Boston is even better this year, I think the Giants dont have as good a team as the last 2 years , but I believe were still playoff bound.

So lets "bat" this topic around!

I used to watch baseball and then it seemed to be like every other season they were striking. So i gave up. But i wouldnt mind to start watching it again. I dont have a fave team. I just like the sport. Its the softball feeling coming out of me! :rolleyes:

I'm going to the Redbirds (triple A memphis team), and I hope they win. As far as major leagues teams are concerned... GO CUBS.

http://www.computerpannen.com/cwm/contrib/edoom/biggrinbounce2.gif

Yeaaahhhhhhh Red Sox! :D

Go Marlins! Defending Yankee Crushing World Champs at your service ;) Many teams have improved this year so I think some divisions may be even closer this year.

i think the the top 3 contenders for this year's championship are Cubs, Yankees, and Red Sox. The yankees have an AWESOME offensive presence but their pitching is worrisome. The Sox and Cubs however are more balanced. Both Sox and Cubs have an EXTREMELY talented pitching squad and good depth in the bullpen. When you have the likes of Wood, Prior, Maddux, and the supporting pitching staff coupled with their offense; and Martinez, Lowe, Schilling, and Wakefield, coupled with THEIR offense...then you know you're gonna have a good season.

pitching wins games

btw...GO METS!!!! lol...i know, it's sad :( ... :D

btw...GO METS!!!! lol...i know, it's sad :( ... :D

I only hope that this year's opening day is better than last year's

15-2 :(

And they faced the Cubs :(

I agree with the choices to win it all...go figure when 2 of those teams have been 0-for-almost forever.

Well my Giants are 1-0 now that they beat the Astros yesterday..And of course my man Barry Bonds goes yard and hits a 3 run shot to tie it , then we got the go ahead run in the 9th..

Barry now has 659 homers, only one shy of tying his grandfather Willie Mays for 3rd on the all-time homer list..

How 'bout them Tigers :D

Winning their first game yesterday gave them their first .500 or better since April 8th, 2001 :eek:

I'm almost 100% certain the Willie Mays is his godfather...not grandfather.

Well Im 100% certain that your absalutely correct!

::smacks self::

Accidently typed grand instead of god...

Good lookin out! :D

I'm a Brewers fan, despite our recent sucktitude. Ned Yost is turning this team around with players who actually try and give 100% all the time, even if they aren't these big name or big talent guys.

Plus the Seligs are going to sell the team to someone so FINALLY we might be able to spend some money on free agents instead of having all our money go into Bud's pocket :rolleyes:. And the whole Wendy Selig-Prieb is running the team not Bud thing is a farce. She's "running" it so he can ruin us AND the league at the same time, lol.

It was awesome to get a win on opening day yesterday :D

i'm excited baseball is back. always have been a huge baseball fan. i'm a mets fan myself. i think the mets are much improved & excited to see matsui & reyes play together this year. as far as who i'm picking to be great this year. i'd have to go w/angels, cubs, red sox, royals, & yanks even w/their worrisome pitching. overall i think the angels win it all this year. anyone doing fantasy baseball this year? my leagues have started & i'm doin pretty good.

Well, I'm soooo ready!!

Of corse I hafta root for my own team, the Mariners, even though I don't think they'll do well this season. Lost the first game, it was a home game, against Anaheim today. Not a good start... :(

I don't think they'll do well, either. But, yep, I'm a Mariners fan, too.

LET'S GO METS!!! F-A-N!!! duh duh DUH!! (620 WFAN)...lol. i don't know. just felt like adding that.
i have a strong feeling that entire NYM roster will be voted into the All-Star Game and we will win it all this year...UNDEFEATED!!! lol

SIKE!!! lol

It's time again to root for my Red Sox, and to have my heart broken. If they do what they did last year again, I'll probably have a heart attack at 18.

i'm not a Bosox fan. I'm a mets fan. but we're on the same boat as far as hating the yankees goes. i can assure you that Francona won't let that happen in this years AL Championship (yup...Bosox/Yankeed). The Curse of The Bambino is real and is the only reason the Yankees have been winning. lol. Really though, won't happen again this year.

GO METS!!!!! NYM 7-2 ATL

go mets! it can only go downhill from here....
but I love them anyway. root for the (extreme) underdog

Giants 2-0 record,Sa-weeet...


So that new player from Japan,"Kaz Matsui" hit a homer on the first ever Major league pitch he ever saw... :eek:

So that new player from Japan,"Kaz Matsui" hit a homer on the first ever Major league pitch he ever saw... :eek:

That's extremely rare. Can't remember the last time that's happened. There are more who've done it on their first at bat, but to jump on one on the first pitch.... :D

yea no shit , thats pretty nuts...

I remember when I watched Will Clark's first at bat , he cracked a homer , but it wasnt on the first pitch...Although it was against one of the greatest pitchers ever.....Nolan Ryan...that was awesome! I use to love watching Will Clark, he was the man..

i heared this on espn this morning, some guy named mueller(or however u spell it) who used to play for i believe the phillies did the same thing during the early or mid 90's.

Damn Giants got killed last night , 10-1!

Now we play San Diego today and face David Wells..that will be the 3rd former Yankee in a row! Pettite , Clemens , and now Wells! thats kinda funny.

How bout the Tigers , 3 and 0!!! wonder how long there winning record will last...

The Twins all the way!

checking out the standings and scoreboards they're 2-1 and face Detroit tonight.

We got you catcher now..Hes playin pretty good for us so far...

We got you catcher now..Hes playin pretty good for us so far...

damn...oh well we still got Torii Hunter. The numerous times I've seen the twins play I've been impressed by Hunter, I think he did like pull a muscle or something and isnt playing as often now :(

Wow our division is totally tied lol We've got Dontrelle pitching tonight :) Baseball weekend baby! I'm going to the game tonight, Friday, and Saturday. Good series against Philly.

WOOHOO! 3 nothing fish!

Fackin A!!

We took the lead in the 9th, then the Pods tied it and sent it to extra innings , then we took the lead in the top of the 10th, and lost in the bottom of the 10th!!! grrr...

2-2 record.

I.dont.like.that.

Barry Bonds just hit homerun #660 to tie him with his grandfather Willie Mays on the All time Homerun list...

Far out..

I went to the Mets game. They kicked the Braves' ass today.

They kicked the crap out of Hampton. He didn't even last 3 innings.

And then when it was going to be finished, Jay Wheeler and Grant Roberts almost blew a 9 run lead to shit.

This game will be a telling tale for the rest of the season in my opinion.

I don't have to worry about the bullpen when they're up by 9 runs, but if they're up by 3 or 4 forget about it :rolleyes:

i watched that game on the tv today. coming from richmond va , this is a braves town. i'll tell you cfw, that was an ass beating from pitch one.

Well it didnt take to long for Barry to pass Mays and move onto to be #3 on the all time homer list.
Next up: The Babe.

=]

Red Sox taking all 3 from the Yanks. Boy, I'm glad we didn't take A-Rod now. This is the year that we finally get that 86 year old monkey off our back and finally win the Series.

i'm an Orioles fan and they're actually doing very well this season. Even though they got CRUSHED by Toronto yesterday 15-3

Randy Johnson became only the 17th pitcher in Major League history to pitch a perfect game against the Atlanta Braves tonight.

Red Sox all the way!!! m33p!
m

Props to Randy Johnson. He's still got it , even @ 40 years old.


Jason Schmidt of my Giants pitched a 1 hitter yesterday. Damn that one hit!! It would of been cool to have 2 pitchers pitch a perfect game on the same day. Wonder if its ever happened before?

I think it did a little over 10 years ago or it was just as close. I've got to check that though :)

Red Sox all the way!!! m33p!
m

Eff the Sox! :p

there comin to our house this weekend! Pac Bell Park baby! (Well actually SBC park now , but Eff that shit.)
And I will be there! woohoo!! The Giants and the Red Sox havent played eachother in I dont know how long! It will be there first trip to what is arguably the nicest park in baseball.

*drools at the thought of Pedro Martinez pitching to Bonds*
That will be one helluva match-up! 2 of the best in the game goin at it..

Ichiro Suzuki broke an 84 year old record last night against the Texas Rangers.

He broke the single season hits record set by George Sisler in 1920. Sisler hit 257. Ichiro now has 259. On top of that, 222 of his hits are singles which is also a record.

That is an unbelieveable accomplishment.

He has a .373 batting average :eek:

I don't think anybody's come close to .400 since George Brett when he hit .390 a while ago.

He's the best leadoff hitter in baseball since Rickey Henderson.

Who's going to the series, everyone?

Red Sox (screw the Yanks) vs. Cards

Concerning last night's Twins/Yanks game:

Damn Bastard Freakin Jeebus Derek Shite Poophead Crappin Jeter BAstage Frakkin AAGGGGHHHHHHH!!!!

However, if the Yanks continue to do well and Boston finishes their tromp I'd LOVE to see the Red Sox destroy the Yanks for the AL pennant which I think they finally could do.

Clemens (another ex-Yankee bastard) kicked the Braves asses up and down the field yesterday afternoon AFTER being sick! Hopefully Hampton will come through this afternoon.

Yeah , I'm a hometown fan.


I hope to see either:

Mariners - Astros for a offensive knockdown dragout with all of baseball's current batting badasses. Actually that combo would be explosive.

Yankees - Braves so that Atlanta can exact some well-deserved revenge.

Any other combo would be vastly one-sided. I dunno....

:D:D:Dwoohoo!!!! Let's Go Mets!!!!!!!!!!!:D:D:D

I watched the Yankee game last night and...it was just like great :rolleyes: Here we go AGAIN.

If the Twins don't sweep at home, they're losing the Division series.

I stopped caring about this year's season a long time ago, once it became clear that the mets would, once again, fall to shit. However, I'm actually watching the yankee games now because I am bitter and want to see if they lose. They better lose. I don't really care about the twins...but, go twins! ;)

Geez...

I'm a true Atlanta fan but the Braves were pathetic last night. I don't mean the pitching. Bobby Cox knew he was asking for it by constantly going to the bullpen after 4 or 5 innings game after game. They were bound to screw up. The hitting was embarrassing...except for Furcal,LaRoche and Estrada the whole team had 6 hits in 5 games. What the hell!!??! I mean after 13 damn years you'd THINK these guys would have a damn post season game of some kind.

Ughh...they need to lose their division next season. Maybe that'll wake them up. They are in this perpetual kickass regular season-shittyass post season cycle.

Boston will lose to St. Louis in the world series.


Sorry Sox fans.....

Tonight, the Boston Red Sox will once again face the New York Yankees.

The Yankees won the first 3 games. They won Game 3, 19-8.

However, the Red Sox have battled their way back in 2 extra inning thrillers and a win last night. They won 3 games in a row, 3 nights in a row and they're going for 4.

The Yankees were 3 outs away from sweeping the Red Sox and winning their 40th American League pennant.

Now the Yankees find themselves on the brink of elimination.

Can the Yankees beat the Red Sox and keep this so called curse alive?

Or will the Red Sox do the unthinkable?

I will be passing the Stadium tonight on the 4 train as the game goes on.

It's going to be one hell of a game.

There are some baseball analysts calling this the most important game in the history of baseball.

Now, I don't know about that, but I do know that there is a lot riding on this.

It all comes down to game 7. Again. In Yankee Stadium. Again.

The Yankees were 3 outs away from sweeping the Red Sox and winning their 40th American League pennant.

Now the Yankees find themselves on the brink of elimination.

Can the Yankees beat the Red Sox and keep this so called curse alive?

Or will the Red Sox do the unthinkable?




I'm not really a fan of baseball, but I hope the Red Sox win, because I'm tired of hearing about the Yankees. They win almost every year, so it's really no big deal if they go to the world series. It's fucking boring all ready. The sun rises, the sun sets, the Yankees go to the world series. So fucking what. It would be a hell of a lot more interesting if they actually didn't make it. :cool:

The Yankees r my team bay-bay!!! These past two weeks have been nerve racking!!! For most of the games, I stayed up late, just to watch them!!! I like watching the Yankees face Boston because it's a good, nerve racking match up, and that's the way I like it :D !!!! I'm rooting for Sheff, A-Rod, and Bernie.

L8r. I SOOO HAVE A DATE W/ THE TV TONITE!!! (not literally!) Gotta get the hwk done... ;)

i hope the yankees choke tonight. just for the riot that would break out...no I'm just kidding about the riot. But I do hope the yankees get their asses kicked.

(again, I'm a disgruntled, bitter Mets fan)

Okay, so you know who I rooting for.

-go sox-

Damn, no offense to any Yankee fans, the Yankees were disgraceful.

Did you see what A-Rod did? HAH, it was as if he was in Little League!

I'm rooting for the Red Sox, bitches.


*kills the Yankees*

Did you see what A-Rod did?

That was one of the dumbest plays I have ever seen. Whether you're a Yankee or Sox fan, you have to admit that his play was foolish. Not only that, but I believe that it cost them the game last night.

They had one out with Jeter on base in the bottom of the eighth. Rather than Rodriguez take the sacrifice and put Jeter in scoring position with two outs, he commits interference and cost them a run and possibly 2. That's why I believe he cost them the game.

(again, I'm a disgruntled, bitter Mets fan)

You're not the only one ;)

Jim Edmonds! Fuck Yes! Game Seven Baby! Whooo!

I'm rooting for the Red Sox, bitches.


*kills the Yankees*


Dude, you are my bean-town ho!

Bean-town ho's UNITE!

Dude, you are my bean-town ho!

Bean-town ho's UNITE!

Woo!!

I <3 Ortiz! :D

Woo!!

I <3 Ortiz! :D

Hahaha,

Being Half-Dominican, I love him more :p

Anyways, if the sox win tonight I'm wearing a shirt to school tomorrow that says

"Ortiz is my papi"

* papi is spanish for daddy.

Even though I'm a disgruntled, bitter San Francisco Giants fan, can I join in on the Yankee killing? :)

I'm not going to get excited until the final out is recorded.

And I'm certainly not happy that they're going to take Derek Lowe out of the game with a fucking ONE HITTER. Give him at least one more inning for crying out loud.

Why the hell did they take Lowe out? He was pitching FINE. Friggin one hit. And now a double on Pedro's first batter. Fucking a, Francona.

Damn, taking Lowe out just might end up biting them in the ass in the end

They did it!!$@!#!$!

They FUCKING DID IT!!@$!@

HOLY SHIT!

The RED SOX WIN!!!!!!!!!!!

YES YES YES!


THEY WON! THEY WON!

YES!


OMG, I am soooo freaking happy right now.

It's not just the fact that we won the pennent...

Its the fact that we beat the Yankees!!!!!!!!!!!

Its the fact that we beat the Yankees!!!!!!!!!!!


In Yankee Stadium.

Greatest upset in the history of baseball. Ever.

Congrats, redsox and fans. That is truly amazing. :D

i was just waiting for people to riot the field.
but it didn't happen.
i'm super happy for the red sox. that curse NEEDS to be lifted!

Congrats, redsox and fans. That is truly amazing. :D


OMG, This also feels like a personal victory for the fans.

Imagine how we felt when we lost THREE in a row, and this come from behind victory is just amazing.

Greatest comeback in baseball history. You can't get better than that.

Not only in America are the fans celebrating but the fans in the Dominican Republic who are rooting for Manny, Pedro and Ortiz.

Dude, this is kick-ass!



WHO'S YOUR MOTHER-EFFING PAPI, YANKEES!?!

-take that A-Fraud-

That was the greatest night of my LIFE. I'm not even a Red Sox fan and this beats every major Minnesota sporting event ever (aside from maybe the 91 World Series). Good god, what an amazing series. When they were interviewing Torre, he looked like he was absolutely prepared to bawl. To all you in Boston, congrats, and your team has the support of all us at Target over here on Highway 100 in Minnesota. :cool:

OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH HHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! UP YOURS EVIL EMPIRE! OWNAGE!

Sorry, I just couldn't contain myself. Red Sox, you guys are truly amazing. I was biting my nails down to the last pitch. To think that they came from behind down three games to zero to win this against the Yankees in their own stadium. Without a shadow of a doubt this is the biggest upset in history, especially having come away with such a decisive victory. One step closer to lifting the curse. I just hope they're not up against the Astros, I'm obligated to root for Houston since my mom went to the same highschool as Roger Clemens. My mom is trying to find out how much she can get for her yearbook with his signature in it.

I'm still trying to figure out Terry's mentality in bringing Pedro in as WELL... Lowe was dominating and had shown no signs of weakening. That inning was definitely the most stressful thing since... well, the 9th of game 6.

I mean... I don't know what makes me happier, the Sox winning or the Yanks pulling the choke of all chokes. Nah... it's the Sox. HAS to be the Sox.

I'm so damn stoked for Saturday.

Hell yeah, the Red Sox did it. :D Coming from being down 3-0 in the series, and winning it all is damn amazing, that's all I can say. I, for one, never counted the Red Sox out. I'm not a big baseball fan, but after watching what I could of the game at work, I'll definately have to keep a close watch on the World Series. Hey, I gotta find something to fulfill my sports needs since there's no NHL. :p

GO SOX!

Not only am I happy that the Red Sox made it to the World Series, but I'm also sooo happy that we made it the World Series by beating the Yankees. ;)


To all the Yankee lovers: HAHA, BASTARDS!! *evil laugh*

Weeeee!!!!

The Boston Red Sox were incredible. Damon was friggin huge: 3 for 6 with 2 Homers, one being a GRAND SLAM for a total of 6 RBIs. Lowe was ingenious with a 3.18 afterwards having only one walk.

Oh, I forgot to mention that this is only the third time in sports history in a 7- game playoff format that any sports team ever came back 0-3 to win a playoff series. It's the first time it's ever been done in modern baseball! And to top it off, it was done BY the BOSOX against the YANKEES! There is a God!
Btw, the other two times were in the NHL and no NBA team has ever done that.

My favorite episode of this ALCS though has to be ARod in Game 6 getting called for interference at 1st Base. What an overpaid jackass.

I disagree with The Dude, The Red Sox will easily handle either the Cards or the Astros. Curse,Shmurse! I do think the Astros would offer more of a challenge as they have better bats and a wizard of a closer.

Anyway,

YANKEES, YA DONE!!!! KTHX BYE!!!

I have a casual interest in Baseball as much as i'll watch it if nothing else is on oir if its a big game. I like the red sox so when they said that last night was game seven of a play off series against the yankees i decided to stay up and watch. Damn it was worth it even me with my minimal knowledge of baseball was pumped during the 9th inning and when they caught out the last man it was great i felt great and the neighbours probably didn't feel great if they heard me shouting at gone five in the morning which ist was here lol. I'm gonna watch some of the world series games now i really hope the Red Sox win

My favorite episode of this ALCS though has to be ARod in Game 6 getting called for interference at 1st Base. What an overpaid jackass.
Has anyone heard what Schill said about A-Rod on the Jim Rome show? He said something to the effect of "Derek Jeter would never do something that unprofessional" and "I don't have any respect for that guy at all".

I know I really sound like a sore winner here, but it was funny seeing the Yankee players and fans after the game, ESPECIALLY A-Rod. That could've been you, man. You could've come to the Sox. Actually... we don't want ya. Have fun golfing, Alex.




The monstrosity of this comeback hasn't really set in with me yet... partially because I'm somewhere where, other than a handful of people, not many care about baseball.... and it's sad.

Its true though, what he said. You never would've seen Derek do something like that. I have always had respect for both of them, but I lost a lot of it after game 6. It just a stupid thing to do.

Its true though, what he said. You never would've seen Derek do something like that. I have always had respect for both of them, but I lost a lot of it after game 6. It just a stupid thing to do. Oh, I totally agree with Schilling as well. It would be one thing if A-Rod did it as an instinctual thing and later admitted it was a stupid thing, but instead he was making excuses and denying that he did anything wrong.

That was such a pivotal moment in game 6, and from there, I just had a feeling that something was destined to go right for the Red Sox, for once. Last year hurt. For a couple days there it almost looked like this year wasn't as bad because we'd get swept and there wouldn't be that heartbreak element, but just that "maybe next year" feeling that has being going on for....... you know.

And I'll admit that I thought it was just setting up for more heartbreak... I mean, sure they'd win a game or two to make a series of it, but actually win four straight, coming back twice off Rivera, having a guy who was basically announced to be out for the playoffs pitch the game of his LIFE, and having Johnny Damon wake up out of his cave... errr... slump... ? No one truly expected this. We had hope, sure.

The job isn't done yet, by any means... but it feels damn good to be a Red Sox fan right now.

hehe, poor wittle wankee fans. :p


So If Houston can win tonight , it will be the Sox and the Stros. And that would be kinda funny considering those are Bush and Kerry's homestates. Betcha hadnt thought of that one....

my god...even baseball is all about the election. you can't escape it.

I heard someone say that last night on TV (I don't remember who). I'm trying to avoid it as much as possible as is.

I do like the fact that the Boston stations we have (because our satellite provider kicks ass) have huge amounts of Sox coverage in relation to election coverage on their news shows.

(i don't see too many people feeling sorry for the Yanks, do you?)

I sure as hell don't feel sorry for the Yankees. I think they need to wake up and realize that you cant buy championships.

I truly believe if the Yankees organization didn't have all that money to pay egotistical, overrated ball players like A-Rod and Derek Jeter, they wouldn't have all of NeW York (excluding Mets fans of course) kissing their asses. They would just be your average baseball team.

*This is MY opinion thanks for reading*

GO SOX!@$#!@



Yankees Suck! =)

GO SOX!@$#!


Yankees Suck! =)


SOX ALL THE WAY!!!!!!!!!

I'm the only Sox fan where I work and I was barraged with Yankees comments non stop a few days ago.

Amazing how things change in a few days.

The curse will be put to rest soon and 1918 will be just another number.

OK, not a big update since I'm sure all the people reading/responding in this thread know about the Stros/Cards game...Cardinals won, 5-2. So, it's STL vs. BOS.

But last night I was watching Conan O'Brian. I forgot who was on but somebody brought up an interesting point: "As much as I want the Red Sox to win, they can't. It's like the Cubs, they just wouldn't be them if they won."

Which is true. Boston hasn't won since 1918 and they haven't won a pennant, besides this year, since 1986. Cubs, I forget the numbers but it's been a VERY long time (Billy Goat curse).

Would Boston and Chicago be the same if they actually won anything?

Would Boston and Chicago be the same if they actually won anything?


d00d, I never considered that question...and to think of it I realllllllyyy don't see a 5+ year dynasty over MLB emerging if the Bosox actually win the WS.

Unfortunately, that subject is were all baseball fans have to tip their hats to the Yankess...you just have to do that.

The Red Sox and The Red Birds.
This should be a World Series to remember. Theres gonna be a shitload of offense with all the heavy hitters on each team.

My prediction: Cards in 7 games.
Sorry Boston, the curse will live on!!!! :p (at least for another year)

OMG..YES! FUCKIN Cubs! God they suck!
Let's see the last time they won the world series was....
1908!

No Ceez, they would not be the same...but I am for the Sox all the way...
WOO HOO!@#

AND YOU:
My prediction: Cards in 7 games.
STFU! =P

My favorite team is the Mariners. However, since they obviously aren't going to the world series, I'm cheering for Boston. What a come back they made playing the Yankees!!! :eek: WOW!!

GO SOX!!! *jumps up and down* Our school had a Sox Spirit day and we're having another one monday!! WOHOO!!!

GO SOX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So the Sox won game 1 of the Series...Whoop!2334
I got a little scared there for a second...when they were tied in the 7th? inning....BUT alas they pulled through.
Now on to game 2! My prediction: Boston 13 St. Louis 6 in the 9th. :)
kthx.

I don't really care about sports, but I really hope that the Sox win. They deserve it. They made my week by crushing the yankees, so much so that I even bothered to watch the games, hoping that they would win. Go Sox!!!!

I missed most of the game because I had to go to work, but I'm glad I was able to see David Ortiz hit a homerun! I'm glad they won the first one!! And I'm off tomorrow, so I get to watch Schilling pitch! Woohoo!!!!

Our bats are hot, Schilling is pitching, we're winning the close ones. You have got to feel good about our chances.

Wait, I'm a Sox fan and I just showed optimism..........I'm scared.

The Red Sox are cock-suckers. They have no chance against the Cardinals.

LET THE CURSE LIVE!!!

The Red Sox are cock-suckers. They have no chance against the Cardinals.

LET THE CURSE LIVE!!!
Yeah...shut up. The only thing I'm worried about is seeing the Sox going up three to nothing and doing the same thing the Yankees did. I wouldn't exactly count on it though. Go Sox!

So the Sox won game 1 of the Series...Whoop!2334
I got a little scared there for a second...when they were tied in the 7th? inning....BUT alas they pulled through.
Now on to game 2! My prediction: Boston 13 St. Louis 6 in the 9th. :)
kthx.

Who made you Miss baseball all of a sudden? :p <3

The Red Sox are cock-suckers. They have no chance against the Cardinals.

hehe, bitter wittle wankees fan.....
Those same "cocksuckers"(as you so elequently put it) completed the biggest comeback in baseball history against your beloved yanks.....


Steinbrenner must be shitting himself, he put 30 million dollars on the mound in game 7 and got blown out....hahahahhahahahhaha

Are there any other "wittle wankees fans" here?

WOOOOO!!!!!!!!

GET THE BROOM!!

That was incredible. An absolutely amazing display of something I can't even begin to put to words. The Boston Red Sox are truly champions to be remembered!

And The Curse is lifted!

If Yadier Molina's sweeping of the bullpen wasn't a sign, I don't know what was.

Oh wait, there were only about 158159715 signs. And as much as I hate being superstitious... when there's 86 years of bad luck and curses going against you, sometimes you just need a whole bunch of things to align absolutely perfectly to reverse it all. And it happened.

And it feels absolutely incredible.

Congrats to the entire organization, and members of Red Sox Nation all over the world. This is so damn awesome.

(of course, most of the New England folk are partying their asses off - hopefully without any incidents, and then attempting to sleep for one hell of a Thursday morning water cooler day.)

Lunar Eclipse anyone?

Congrats to the red sox and all of their fans. Hopefully, it won't be another 86 years before they win another one.


Now, what about those chicago cubs...?

Yeah. The lunar eclipse thing was pretty sweet. My dad mentioned that to me earlier (btw, his birthday today... a birthday gift for him EXCEPT he was rooting for the Cards) and I thought... "Wouldn't it be sweet to have two rare events happen on the same night?"

Oh, how this puts the pressure on the Cubs. And Nomah.

An absolutely amazing display of something I can't even begin to put to words.


I think the phrase you're looking for is "baseball playing" :cool:

My throat is sore from screaming at the tv!!!! Hehe. What an awesome game!!! Congrats to Boston! Players and the city!!! They definently deserved it!

Not only is this a win for Massachusettans (as I call them) but this is also a win for everyone who hates the Yankees. That means that 90% of the people in this country are happy right now.



I can't wait to brag to all of my friends at school today. :p

This is one of the greatest moments in baseball history.

At one point they were down 3-0 in a series with a team that was considered the best team in baseball. They were down to their last strike and Mariano Rivera was on the mound.

Who could have come up with a better Hollywood ending than this?

Every single person on that team deserves credit. Bullpen, Bench, Starters, and Coaches.

I've already said it a few times, I don't believe in curses.
I believe in miracles and a miracle happened last night.

Congratulations to the BoSox. They deserved it.

Hard to believe there was a time 10 days or so... during game 5 I believe, after they had pulled off the heroics in game 4, where I saw it was 4-2 Yanks in the 8th, and figured that they wouldn't pull it out of the hat once again... so I took a nap, almost hoping and expecting that it would be over. Have us put out of our misery.

Woke up to find out they had won game 5. I didn't know what to think, but that changed everything. I figured there was a chance, albeit unlikely, that maybe, just MAYBE they could pull the unthinkable against the Yankees.

It's almost as if there was a moment where I was like "I'm sick and tired of this 'maybe next year' stuff. A year's waaaay too long to wait. I mean, it seems so long since Aaron fuckin Boone last year, I don't want the same thing again."

Next October is a long way away now... but at least it's gonna be a lot happier twelve months than most people could've ever expected.

When I was 9, the Sox had just got done blowing that WS to the Mets and I cried myself to sleep that night. For 18 years I've suffering through their futility and hearing the constant jeers from the pompous Yankee fans. The sad thing is I don't really have that much to complain about because some Sox fans have lived their whole natural lives, have died, and not seen the Sox win it all.

Tears started flowing again but obviously these were of the joyful variety. My eyes didn't water when the final out was made. I had too many people at work to brag to. It started after I watched the celebration and the highlights on Sportcenter. The Nike Ad with the brothers watching the games throughout their lives as the years go by. That was the tearjerker. All us Sox fans have been waiting all our lives. Finally, the time is ours.

Looove that commercial. Especially now. I got so pumped up the first time I saw that about 2 minutes after the end of the ALCS. Good stuff.

I'm sure there were many a fan with tears rolling down their faces last night... I know I most certainly was one.

I'm not an avid fan of the Sox, but I love supporting them :)

Congratulations to the Red Sox! They truly deserved it; I'm so happy to see their 'curse' end!

And isn't it fitting that the lunar eclipse last night was red? ;)

I'm guessing it was cloudy in St. Louis last night because I would've thought they'd show as many red moon shots as possible. I saw it here though. :D

(ok, i should really stop posting this morning. hahahaha.)

Although I am really happy that they won...it wasn't really an exciting game though.
I knew they would win, it seemed like St. Louis kinda gave up. :/
Even their fans were blah...

YAY SOX! CONGRATS!

I just want to say last night was the first time I've watched a baseball game in along time.

Anyways, it was good, but I was hoping for it to be a closer game. Well, 3-0 is kinda close, but I was hoping it would have went into extra innings, and the Sox would have won it on a homerun by Damon. It was awesome to see the Sox win the World Series for the first time in 86 years, so congrats to them. Even more amazing was that they were down 3-0 to the Yankees last round, and came back to win 8 in a row. They impressed me definately.

Congrats to the Sox! They deserve to be the champs. I wish it would of gone 6 or 7 games though. then at least Boston could of celebrated on there own field.


Cant wait till next season!! The Giants will be the 2005 champs!!!! :D

Not only is this a win for Massachusettans (as I call them) but this is also a win for everyone who hates the Yankees. That means that 90% of the people in this country are happy right now. Oh HELL Yeah. It makes me wonder sometimes why they're called America's Team...

This kicks so much ass!! I'm soo glad that they won. It still feels surreal though... Boston...winning the World Series?!?!

YAY!

And the parade is on Saturday!!! I was hoping it could be on Friday though so I could skip school. :(

I'm guessing that the reason why they decided to hold it on Saturday rather than Friday is exactly because of that. Kids want to skip school to go to it. I remember when the Pats won the Superbowl (not last year, the time before that), there weren't a lot of kids at my school because they were all at the parade.

. The Cardinals didn't know what to do because they were facing the team that beat the yankees. I think it threw them off a bit.
