[Excellance of Execution]

So, does that mean this topic will be full of bitching and crying? :lol: :shifty:

[YOUR Hero]

I must be in a daze, I didn't realize baseball was having opening day already.

[MrMeJW]

Schilling is looking pretty good today.

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

So, does that mean this topic will be full of bitching and crying? :lol: :shifty:
good 1 hitman mark

[MVP]

So, does that mean this topic will be full of bitching and crying? :lol: :shifty:Take that back. :rant:

[Hardkore Kidd J]

I got to give my props to Boston. They seem like a real good team. [ DOn't expect me to say anything else good about the Sox I'm a Yanks fan] But, Sox have earned my respect.

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

Schilling and DLowe picking up the W's :cool:

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

soxxxxxxxx

[MVP]

Ellis Burks = roolz

[Gertner]

Go Jays!

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

Damn Jays came threw in the end and won :mad:

That Arroyo guy pitched like shit tho.....oh well

Jays new unis = terrible

[The Icon of Elisim]

Halladay vs Pedro tommorow, should be pretty sweet

I feel bad for Johnny Damon he's had a rough week, the last thing that the Sox need is for him to go down

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

Hopefully Pedro does better then last game :(

I dunno..2-3 right now..its realllllly early but they need every victory they can get this year

[MVP]

Halladay's 1-3, I think Pedro can pull it off.

[VonErich Lives]

Halladay vs Pedro tommorow, should be pretty sweet

I feel bad for Johnny Damon he's had a rough week, the last thing that the Sox need is for him to go down

Why? we might get a real leadoff hitter in his place...

I like damon, but he hasn't played like a lead off hitter, he needs to start putting it off the wall, not trying to put it over the bullpen.

Can't fault them too much for yesterday, only had 1 pitcher... I mean, you could have warmed up Pedro or something... but it's early in the season.

[VonErich Lives]

Halladay's 1-3, I think Pedro can pull it off.
1-3? he's pitched 4 games already? what, do the jays have a 2man rotation?

Anyway, wins don't mean crap, they're not a real judge of a pitcher.

ERA, Opposing batting avg, Strike outs, Walk to SO ratio. Those are pitcher stats.

A pitcher can go 9 innings, strike out 20, and give up only 1 hit a solo homer, but if the offense can't score... he's screwed.

[Crimson]

Both Halladay and Pedro had shaky opening day starts. Get ready for a pitchers duel today. I got Halladay on my fantasy team so he better come thru.

Damon's pretty valuable on the defensive end though. And I'm thinking it would suck mainly because the Soxs have already lost Nomar and Nixon

[Gertner]

Sox are gonna get swept!!!

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

Dont get me wrong, I like Damon but its not like its a big hit. He has good range in running down flyballs and stuff but his arm is not very impressive

Although he did gun down one guy already this season, but that is very rare.

We need Nomaaa and Trot back :(

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

Gettin Noma would let Reese move over to 2nd and it would get Belhorn out of the batting line up :love:

[MVP]

Agreed, Bellhorn needs to be benched.

So does Crespo.

[VonErich Lives]

Damon's pretty valuable on the defensive end though. And I'm thinking it would suck mainly because the Soxs have already lost Nomar and Nixon

He does have good speed/range... but I've been impressed w/ Kapler out there... There saying he's as fast, possible faster then Damon.

Stima - as for the play at the plate, that was bad running... everyone knows Damon has a weak arm... heck, half the players in the league have a weak arm...

Look at guys in the 70's or before... guys that could hit the catcher, dead-on... maybe w/ a 1 hopper, sometimes no hop.

[Loose Cannon]

Stupid me forgot to put Schilling in for my FB team. I know he lost, but he had like 10 K's. And I also have Colon on the bench right now. Dammit.

He Lost?

Last I checked when your team wins, but your not the winning pitcher it's a no decision, not a loss...

Nice to see Pedro and then Schilling going deep in games, Lowe should also be able to go 7-8innings... which makes our bullpen more deadly.

There also pitching Pedro & Schilling every 5days, Pedro is going to pitcher Thursday and Schilling Friday, so 4 days rest, every 5th day, there going to pitch. I wouldn't be suprised to see the same from Lowe and even Wake could do it, which with off days, would put us really close to being a 4man staff, w/ Arrojo as a fill-in.

Like the old days of baseball... 4man rotation.

Oh sh**, those mother f'ers came back. Dam Vel, you just made me feel even worse that I didn't put him in. :( What's up Blue Jays.

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

Ortiz jacked a bomb in the 12th :cool:

[The Miz]

woooo M's are 1-5 :(

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

Sox didnt wear their red jerseys today...Last season they wore them every Sunday

Hopefully they didnt wear them because the Jays wear black away jerseys or something...they better not have shelfed the red jersey thing

[VonErich Lives]

another rain out... There bumping Lowe... so it's going to be Pedro, Wakefield, Schilling, Lowe (or possible Arrojo) then Lowe.

1) There trying to keep Pedro and Schilling close as possible to every 5days.

2) Tito seems to like have Wake (knuckleball) in between Pedro and Schilling, doesn't make much sense to me, and if he wanted that, why not do it from day #1?

3) This way, Pedro misses the Yanks in Fenway, Schilling gets them and then Pedro gets them in NY, and schilling misses them.

I'm going Friday and Saturday.

Friday - Bleachers front row, on the sox bullpen

Saturday - Green Monster, row 3.

Bring'em on!

[Boondock Saint]

Arrgh. It's not raining though...:-\ Last night was some pretty nasty rain. I guess the field is too crappy to play on right now?

redsox.com brb

[Loose Cannon]

Oh good, you will probably catch an A-Rod, or Giambi or Sheff.....ah whomever, homer over the Green Monster VEL.

[VonErich Lives]

Oh good, you will probably catch an A-Rod, or Giambi or Sheff.....ah whomever, homer over the Green Monster VEL.

Sheff's still not back on the roids.

Giambi will be lucky to hit one out of the infield now that he's off the roid.

A-rod hasn't been hitting (is he still banged up?).

Plus the Saturday game is Schilling, who I think will beat them, Wake, is a different story.

Although w/o Nomar and Trot, the sox offense has been hurting, so it will be a pitching dual.

[Loose Cannon]

Actually, Giambi hit a shot today against the Rays. A-Rod will come around. When big stars come to NY, they usually have a slow start in the BEG. of their first season.

Yeah, there saying at least a month for Nixon, not sure what Nomar's status is.

HERE we go.

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

JACKIN BOMBS

[Loose Cannon]

Yeah Yeah Yeah. Just wait until about the 8th. You know how it goes.

[Loose Cannon]

lol at Valco chants.

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

boooooombs

[MrMeJW]

That was hot

Balco chant was the best thing I heard all week

Manny is a cockhead, he could of caught that if he wasn't trying to make himself look cool

[The Miz]

haha nice one yankees

[Loose Cannon]

Whatever. Nice Catch Manny.

[MrMeJW]

.

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

LOL Their pitcher isnt ready for the pressure yet...Never experienced anything like the Yanks/Sox rivalry pitching for the Expos

[Boondock Saint]

Go Sox!!!!!!!

[The Icon of Elisim]

Don't blame Vazquez for those 2 errors in the first. The guys got the skills, but the defesne didn't put him in a good position to win

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

Yea thats the true..but you could tell he was nervous he was missing a lot of pitches high and shit

Even the announcers pointed it out, about how his mechanics werent right due to the nerves

Jeter blew that grounder tho...how long is it going to take before this Jeter/ARod thing starts to get blown up...got the best Shortstop in MLB playing 3rd base...doesn't make sense

[VonErich Lives]

Jeter blowing the grounder was great... At least Manny you know is a dink in the field.

Great game, going again today, might even try and get tix for tomorrow or Monday.

Today should be a great matchup, Mussina v. Schilling.

The HR miribaili hit, Timlin caught w/ a towel over his hand. We were joking w/ him he was going to grow out his hair and play OF.

Everyone was all over Giambi and Sheffield, especially when Sheffield was in the field. "Balco" and "Steroids"

Some really funnies we're when Jeter was up "A-rod better".

Also, I love the new Jeter Sucks shirts.

"Jeter Sucks A Rod"

:)

ok, need a quick nap, hopefully will get some of my voice back after last night.

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

SOX KID :cool:

[VonErich Lives]

SOX KID :cool:

2 for 2... that manny HR was a 2 sectons over... if you pause it... I'm on tv... (really don't care about that)...

Anyway, I'm tempted to go tomorrow, but probably going to the Bruins on Monday night instead.

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

I just got a new sox hat 2niiiiiite :cool:

[YOUR Hero]

Jeter sucks A Rod

lol nice one.

[VonErich Lives]

I just got a new sox hat 2niiiiiite :cool:

me2, saw one the night before I liked and realised I don't have any sox hats...

got the regular "B" logo, but black on black. Looks cool... we'll be one of my "non work" hats, so I don't destroy it.

[VonErich Lives]

So, a guy next to me had gone on the net and got all these translations into japanese, some we're things like "you're a disgrace" and others, well, I just can't repeat... It was really funny, I did have a bet going that someone screwed w/ him, and he was probably saying "I love you, will you marry me" and didn't know it.

I tell ya, as a left fielder, I bet the day they heard the sox we're putting seats on the monster, they went "o, fu</>ck"... It's not as bad as what the rightfielder gets, because it's a little different crowd on the wall, but still gets pretty brutal.

[VonErich Lives]

Oh good, you will probably catch an A-Rod, or Giambi or Sheff.....ah whomever, homer over the Green Monster VEL.

umm, yeah... the HR to the Green monster was Manny...

Sheff can't seem to find the ball, and Giambi can't seem to hit it past the pitcher... I think stienbrenner better put the needle back in Giambi's butt.

[Loose Cannon]

Yo, how much did your tickets cost you VEL because I might be going to see a game at Fenway over the summer.

[VonErich Lives]

Yo, how much did your tickets cost you VEL because I might be going to see a game at Fenway over the summer.

The seats on the bullpen ran me $100.00/ea

3rd row Monsters ran me $250/ea. Which I couldn't believe, they normally go for around $500.00/ea. Only thing on the Monster is, if your not front row, it's "obstructed view", you can't see the wall (cause your on it) if your on the left side, you can't see the CF corner and you can't see the diamond vision.

your best bet is checking ebay.

Also, I use/used http://www.aceticket.com and http://www.southshoretickets.com and had good luck w/ both.

[The Outlaw]

Get off Giambi's nuttts

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

Got the classic regular gameday hat they wear...I like it

[VonErich Lives]

Get off Giambi's nuttts

You'd have to find them, I'd assume they're as shriviled as the rest of his body now...

we'll see his numbers at years end... Although, now that testing is over, he could start juicing again.

[The Outlaw]

GET OFF HIS NUTS

[Loose Cannon]

Dam, Finally there Fk'n hittin the ball. And WTF with Contreras, Screw him and send him down to the minors cause he's like Jeff Weaver from last year. A-Rod needs to start hitting the ball too. At least Jeter has been on his game and Sheff got some good hits today.

[VonErich Lives]

3 out of 4, and Foulke held it, I tell ya... everytime Foulke goes out there I feel better and better, and Timlin and Embree and Williamson in setup roles are deadly.

Nothing is won in april, and I think Baltimore is still in first.

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

Hey guys do you think Manny is still a bum after running into the wall like that?

Manny is the ****in man...you mother****ers better recongize that shit

[Supreme Olajuwon]

lol @ at the random building on fire behind Fenway today

anyone know what was up with that?

[MVP]

I have to hand it to Gabe Kapler in the 8th inning today. :y:

[VonErich Lives]

Hey guys do you think Manny is still a bum after running into the wall like that?

Manny is the ****in man...you mother****ers better recongize that shit

Problem is, he doesn't do it all the time... If Manny played like that 162, he'd be league MVP and the sox would never think about dealing him, and no one would care about Arod.

But Manny is Manny.

Go for the ride when he's doing his job and ride him when he isn't.

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

So glad to see ARod doing horrible for the Yankees rite now

[The Outlaw]

I have to hand it to Gabe Kapler in the 8th inning today. :y:

Ahahaha

He must be pretty low on the intelligence list. How in the world do you forget how many outs there are TWICE in one inning?

[ct2k]

Jeter, Williams and A-Rod combined 2 for 14?:rant:

[The Outlaw]

They will come around

Giambi with three long balls so far

Its too bad I am trained to hate the Yankees because I like Giambi :(

[ct2k]

Eh well i guess when the Sox don't win the world series they can still use their old curse excuse. Not that i think the Yankees will win either, love them as i do

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

Ahahaha

He must be pretty low on the intelligence list. How in the world do you forget how many outs there are TWICE in one inning?Game winning RBI single

[Loose Cannon]

The Yankees have like three starters right now. Contreas needs to go back to back to the minors and two other guys better step up soon or they are fk'ed.

[The Outlaw]

Game winning RBI single

What?

[VonErich Lives]

What?

Gabe Kapler had the game winning RBI against the Yanks yesterday.

[The Outlaw]

Oh lol

I watched the game up untill that happened and I had to turn it off

I am noting that I am a bigger Sox fan than Yankees, but that was just unheard of

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

SOX KEEEEEEEEEEEEEED

[The Outlaw]

lol 9th hitter hitting a grand slam = :lol: :(

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

lol Red Sox being at the top of AL East Bluejays being at the bottom = :lol:

[VonErich Lives]

I tell ya, the Sox got saved by the draft coming up so no one really noticed that Schilling was over his pitch count and Tito didn't pull his "boy"... This happens a few more times are your going to start hearing "who'se running the team, Tito and Schilling".

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

I just remembered something about that whole Manny thing

People call him a bum because he doesnt run out pop flys and stupid shit like that...old timer baseball shit. He produces and makes clutch plays when they count. Everyone gives him shit for not running out grounders, or letting the catcher tag him after a passed ball on a 3rd strike. I think its dumb...Manny is the ****ing man and he actually does shit when it REALLY matters

[The Outlaw]

lol Red Sox being at the top of AL East Bluejays being at the bottom = :lol:

Yeahhhh :lol:

Dunno not like I'm a Jays fan, I just saw it on Sportscenter and thought it was pretty humorous

[Loose Cannon]

Yeah keep pitching Contreas you dumb Fu***. Christ, when are they going to learn. He sucks and he can't pitch in the big leagues.

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

HONK IF U LOVE THE RED SOX

[Yashamaga]

honk

too bad we didn't get Contreras a couple years back.


HA

[VonErich Lives]

Hands Loose Cannon a broom..

start sweeping..

Anyway, I'm a real sox fan, today was fun and a good win... the sweep is great... but I fully expect their bus to crash or something...

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

EXCELLENT

Manny jacks bombs

ONCE AGAIN proving why he is the man

Looks like the Curse of the Bambino is in affect already:

Red Sox look very good so far (as they do every first half of the year)

What happen's next you ask, well here goes for all you Red Sox fan's who seem to forget....

1. All Star break ends and the Sox begin to fall apart.
2. After they sneak into the playoffs, they either get knocked off in the first round or the Yanks end up beating them, or it has been known to happen, they lose in the World Series.
3. Red Sox fan's say "we'll win it next year".
4. Off season comes and they make some pretty good pickup's of some top of the line free-agent's.
5. Red Sox fan's say "this is our year".
6. Repeat step's 1-5, only change the year.

6. Repeat step's 1-5, only change the year.

It's a different team this year... Not different as in "magic feeling". This team is built on pitching, all the previous teams were built on hitting, which is why they'd fall apart, slumps, injuries, and facing he Yankees who had better pitching.

Well, now, the Sox have the best staff in the league, will they still by the all-star break? probably.

Pedro is using a lot of off-speed stuff which will save his arm.

Tito is pulling Pedro and Schilling on pitch counts.

Sox have Trot and Nomar coming back, which is better then any trade the Yanks will pull off.

The top pitching free agents are on the Red Sox, so the Yanks wont get a Rent-A-Pitcher, or if they do, it won't be a top 10 pitcher.

That all being said, I'm a sox fan... I expect Schilling and Pedro to get in a fist fight, and they hit each other and break their hands.

[Loose Cannon]

Christ, I'm pretty pissed right now. I mean have the Yankees sucked this bad in a while cause I don't remeber. They better get themselves some pitchers because they won't amount to sh** this year is they don't. But Kevin Brown I'm sorry fir nagging on you in the off season because right now, YOU ARE THE SH**

[Smitty]

The D-Rays are ahead of the Yanks...that's great. Damn those Orioles, they are a decent club this year.

[VonErich Lives]

Christ, I'm pretty pissed right now. I mean have the Yankees sucked this bad in a while cause I don't remeber.

They do need a #4 and #5... But can you really blame the pitching the last 2 games?

I mean, a loss in the 12th and a loss 2-0.

They do need pitching, but it's the multi-million dollar hitting that ain't getting it done...

They'll come around, too much talent not to, but in a series, the pitching will hurt them.

[VonErich Lives]

So, Sox could have picked up 1/2 a game... and drop both instead, oh well... can't win'em all.

Now, that being said I must LMFAO that Pedro tells everyone talks are off and how he went as low as he could, w/o disrespecting himself and future players, etc... etc... and then goes out and pitches like crap.

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

Yea Yankees will eventually come around but I am hoping the Sox are able to pull ahead enough before they turn it around to win the AL East also hopefully the Sox hit a big slump either

****in' Rangers :mad: OH WELL THO.....back to back series sweeps before that..not too bad :cool:

[VonErich Lives]

I like'd Theo's response to Pedro, even better was Manny who offered to lend the sox 5million a year for 3 years to sign Pedro, as long as they pay it back later, figuring that he'll be playing longer then Pedro.

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

Manny is the man

Not running out those pop ups though...hes a bum..even though he is an RBI Machine and blasts Homeruns like its his job :cool:

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

Pedro is Pedro...always doing stuff that the media makes a big deal about.

Pedro is on the decline though so I dont know what the Sox should do

[VonErich Lives]

Manny is the man

Not running out those pop ups though...hes a bum..even though he is an RBI Machine and blasts Homeruns like its his job :cool:

The Manny we're seeing this year, is much different then the Manny we saw last year.

Dunno what the change is, but he's been much different.

The way he's playing, the way he's acting w/ fans and even the media.

I just hope he stays this way.

[Yashamaga]

he has a website too now

Ramirez = :cool:

[VonErich Lives]

he has a website too now

Ramirez = :cool:

does he actually have one? or is this the one he joked about having in spring training and didn't?

[Yashamaga]

Yeah he does

brb gonna go make a Manny thread

[The Outlaw]

lol

[VonErich Lives]

and another loss, see... said it was a long season...

WEEI started calling it "Curse of the Bratino" cause they were fine till Pedro started whining...

Watch BK will throw a gem tonight...

actually, for the most part, pitching has been good... we just haven't hit the ball...

so, w/ the losses to Texas and now Clevland... are those two this good or were the yanks that bad :p

[Loose Cannon]

^^Oh we got a commedian here. Hey, should I pop my tape in the VCR cause you're going to be on the Leno Show tonight? I looking at the Standings right now and I see a little tie a top the American East. The Yankees bats have awoken from their slumber and are on fire right now. But seriously, Texas is looking scary right now. What's up with that?

Seriously, it's early May... they count, but does it really matter... I mean, as long as everyone stays healthy.

The sox are missing 2 key bats.

The Yanks will probably get Randy Johnson for the stretch run.

should be one wild September (trying to lock up my sox v. yanks tix now) :)

SOX WHAT UP

[VonErich Lives]

SOX WHAT UP

haven't looked at last nights scores yet... we were a 1/2 game up?

But again, it's too early.

Pen and Pitching look great, the bats will come around. Plus getting Trot and possible Nomie back at some point will be an upgrade.

There talking around here, if Nomie doesn't come back, who would pay him the money, that he'd go to.

The Dodgers is the assumption, he's from the West Coast and the new owner is from Boston.

Of course, there's also the talk of NY, have him play 2nd base.

Heck, if he's willing to play 2nd, he should do it here, Pokey is a better SS.

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

A lot of "TALK" about Nomar leaving but I dont get it...he is from Cali but he has never once said he wants to go back to Cali to play baseball. I think he likes it in Boston and the only way he leaves if he is pushed out by mangement like Clemens or Vaughn

Sox got hammered tonight after wrecking the A's the 2 games before that. Rough day for Aroyo...I am still not sold on him...he has given up a lot of runs in the first one or two innings every single time he has pitched but usually he is able to speak out with a win but tonight giving up 9 runs in like 3 innings is pretty ridiculous

WOW GETTIN HAMMERED RITE NOW

DLowe needs to stop being such a pussy

[YOUR Hero]

At least when I watch a Red Sox game, I can tell which team they are... Yes I'm complaining about the Jays uni's again. Last night I was watching them VS the Rangers and I kept thinking Teaxs (blue Uni) were the Jays.

[The Miz]

So does Johnny Damon shoot heroin or what.

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

what

[The Outlaw]

lol

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

TROT GOES YARD FOR THE 1ST TIME THIS SEASON

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

Foulke strikes out Bonds in the bottom of the 9th

HOW DO YOU LIKE THAT SAN FRAN

[King TIL]

Foulke strikes out Bonds in the bottom of the 9th

HOW DO YOU LIKE THAT SAN FRAN

Pfff. Mariano struck out Bonds two years ago in the 9th. Of course, the Yanks lost on an error by Soriano, but that's not important.

The YEAR OF THE YANKEE FAN continues, as the Yankees set the all-time regular season attendance record at Dodger Stadium. The Boss must be happy.

[Yashamaga]

PEDRO > BONDS

0-3

[Loose Cannon]

hey, how's 2nd place going guys.

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

Hey hows Kevin Brown doing

Oh hes on the DL..........again?

NO WAY

[The Outlaw]

JASON SCHMIDT

Just thought I'd throw a random name out :shifty:

[The Miz]

Hey hows Kevin Brown doing

Oh hes on the DL..........again?

NO WAY

lol, what a weak comeback. Who cares if he's on the DL, yanks are still in first.

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

They are both going to make the playoffs and then we will see what happens

I said the same shit when the Yanks weren't in 1st place and the Sox were

Sox still lead the season series right now though :cool:

[The Miz]

I dunno, the way Oakland and Anaheim look one of them might sneak into the wild card spot.

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

I was thinking that too but I dont know, I think the Sox will get it.

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

Nice

Beat up on Kenny Rogers tonight :cool:

[ct2k]

I do try to hate the Sox but i can't help loving them, they're so entertaining. A bit like the Indians a few years ago when they had Manny, Alomar, Vizquel, Sexson etc or the Rangers when they had Gonzalez, Palmeiro and Pudge.

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

After a shaky start Foulke gets the save today :cool:

Fuckin Bret Boone last night though. Another Boone with a walk off HR againest the Sox :mad:

[The Miz]

LOL seriously?

Anyone else noticed there have been no posts in this thread since the Yanks have been dominating

[The Miz]

Haha the Mariners are so pathetic I dont even know whats goin onnnnn

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

This post died down before the Yanks even started to dominate the AL East (also I usually only post in this topic when the Sox win :cool: )

I am gonna keep this shit goin' all season tho

[BCWWF]

Who else is in the AL Wildcard right now? I assume Anaheim and Texas only.

[The Miz]

Texas is in first place buddy. I think Oakland and Boston are neck and neck with Anaheim and Minnesota not far behind

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

I thought it was the Sox and Anaheim?

[BCWWF]

Well the Wildcard is essentially Texas, Boston, Oakland, and Anaheim then, because the West is going to shift around.

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

Fuckin Red Sox better pull it out.

Hopefully Foulke settling down and striking out 3 batters in a row was a sign of a turn around or something..I hope so atleast

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

WOW Millar finally does SOMETHING and we still cant win

Ridiculous

[The Miz]

LOL did anyoen see that Damon to Ramirez to Mueller to Varitek relay? That mightve been the worst play I've ever seen

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

I didnt see it but I am hearing its hilarious

I thought it was Manny to Damon?

I heard he made a catch then threw a horrible toss and it went to Damon and Damon has a terrible arm so then it got relayed.

Manny sucks in the field but is a beast at the plate.

[Yashamaga]

Nah Manny intercepted the Damon throw and then relayed to Mueller who was about 10 feet in front of him

[Loose Cannon]

Yeah, I saw it. WOW, pretty bad. Damon tries to relay it to Mueller and Manny dives to his left to intercept it. lol.

[The Miz]

I didnt see it but I am hearing its hilarious

I thought it was Manny to Damon?

I heard he made a catch then threw a horrible toss and it went to Damon and Damon has a terrible arm so then it got relayed.

Manny sucks in the field but is a beast at the plate.
Nah the ball was over Damon's head and Damon tried to throw it to Mueller but for some reason Manny made a diving catch veen though he was like 15 feet inf ront of Damon and then turned around and made a horrible throw to Mueller and the dude got an inside the parker. :(

[MVP]

Holy shit, huge Yankees/Red Sox slugfest.

Varitek started it by taking a shot at A-Rod, and then all hell broke loose. Kapler almost got choked.

[Dragon]

Yeah, even though Varitek took the first shot and everything, Sturtze was an idiot. Running in and grabbing Kapler by the throat. The fact he's the starting pitcher makes it seem even stupider.

Every game between the Yanks and Sox are insane.

[Loose Cannon]

Varitek is a fk'n asshole. I hate him more then Pedro.

[VonErich Lives]

Varitek is a fk'n asshole. I hate him more then Pedro.

I haven't seen the replay yet, but every report I've heard so far is A-rod challenged him, so Teck waited a second and then decked him.

Since it's a Fox play, there is no NESN replay, so I just ordered it on mlb.com for 3.95, plus I'm going to tape sportscenter...

Figures, I was so disgusted after last night, I didn't watch today!

[The Miz]

HAHAHAHA nice one yankees!

[OssMan]

yankees: owned

[YOUR Hero]

looks like I missed a good game. Watch the highlites tonight.

[The Miz]

Loose Cannon do you have any thoughts on this game

[Loose Cannon]

lol, must be opposite day. I didn't see the Sox just win in the bottom of the ninth, did I?

8.5 :)

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

A-Rod just "got punked" for the second time, but you know he was too big of a bitch for the 1st time to be aired on MTV hahaha

This is by far the greatest rivalry in baseball, I know the Yankees have way more titles but the last few years the season series have been ridiculous. Not to mention how evenely matched the teams were last year during the season and the playoffs. Cardinals/Cubs shit isn't even close (Remember I live in Boston :shifty: )

[Smitty]

http://images.sportsline.com/u/photos/baseball/mlb/img7523015.jpg

Can you say...Owned!?

[The Miz]

Maybe it's cuz I'm from the West Coast but Cubbies/Cardinals doesn't interest me at all.

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

Maybe it's cuz I'm from the West Coast but Cubbies/Cardinals doesn't interest me at all.
I figured you were going to post some shit about the Sox in here for some reason...I am glad I will actually get to enjoy this victory without you bringing up something negative about the Sox haha

[Yashamaga]

haha that pic is going into my sig

[Loose Cannon]

yeah, Varitek reallly looks cool taking a shot at A-Rod with a god dam catchers mask on. Seriously, do punches really need to be thrown at baseball games? Varitek couldn't of just used words, he had to make it physical. Jackass.

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

He gave him the pie face, honestly he just pushed him really. Baseball talk A LOT of junk and never do anything about it...I finally glad to see some action.

[Yashamaga]

yeah, Varitek reallly looks cool taking a shot at A-Rod with a god dam catchers mask on. Seriously, do punches really need to be thrown at baseball games? Varitek couldn't of just used words, he had to make it physical. Jackass.

Yeah let's not get physical. Just like Tanyon Sturtze choking Gabe Kapler wasn't physical.

but damn, what an entertaining game :y:

I watched it a few times by now...

A-rod, clearly says "FU" 3 times and tells Teck "Let's go" and motions w/ the hand...

You do that, you better expect to get hit.

A-rod should have just taken his base, Arojo wasn't throwing at him.

He was upset he got hit in the back? the back? talk to Piazza or family members of Tony C. then you can be upset about getting hit.

[Excellance of Execution]

I think that it's obvious that arojo hit him on purpose. A-Rod won the first game for the Yanks, and with how bitter this rivalry is, it's obvious to me it was retaliation for that game-winning hit.

As for Varitek, if you going to get physical for any reason, be a man and take off your mask. If he's so tough, why wouldn't he drop the mask? Is he afraid he might get hit?

As for Sturze, i think he should have got tossed. I admire sticking up for your teammates, but what he did to Kapler was uncalled for. If your going to break up a fight, you don't pull someone by the neck in a chokehold.

Tonight's game on ESPN should me a good one.

[Innovator]

I would've been shitting myself if I was Sturze, having Ortiz standing over you about you nail you.

Varitek should have let A-Rod go, he was already walking down the base path. Protecting the pitcher my ass, the only thing Varitek was protecting was his face.

A-Rod earned those pinstripes today by getting into a Sox/Yankees brawl.

[Gertner]

lol The Red Sox picked up Terry Adams from my Jays

lol have fun with him!

[VonErich Lives]

As for Varitek, if you going to get physical for any reason, be a man and take off your mask. If he's so tough, why wouldn't he drop the mask? Is he afraid he might get hit?


Heat of the moment, A-rod said lets go and singled w/ his hand... I doubt teck even thought of the mask.



Varitek should have let A-Rod go, he was already walking down the base path. Protecting the pitcher my ass, the only thing Varitek was protecting was his face.


Teck was doing what every other catcher in the league would do, you always get between the batter and your pitcher, and A-rod didn't go right down to first, he was there mouthhing off to the pitcher and Teck said go take your base (not in those nice words).

[The Outlaw]

Yeah ARod was asking for it. When you say FU to a guy three times, you are lucky you got to say it that many times.

[YOUR Hero]

http://images.sportsline.com/u/photos/baseball/mlb/img7523015.jpg

One problem with this picture. Varitek is still wearing his mask. That's a pussy tactic where I come from.

[Yashamaga]

He dropped the mask right after that though and then they tied up.

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

He stood right up and did that, then took of his mask

What do you want him to do throw the mask off right away?

[The Miz]

Who gives a shit if Varitek had his mask on? Put yourself in his shoes, if A-Rod says Fuck You 3 times and says Let's Go, what is your first reaction, to drop the mask or to knock the fucker out? I know what mine would be. A-Rod is a huge ass pussy anyway, I remember in like 1997 he got his ass kicked at the Kingdome by some 5'11" minor league pitcher hahaha

[The Miz]

I figured you were going to post some shit about the Sox in here for some reason...I am glad I will actually get to enjoy this victory without you bringing up something negative about the Sox haha
I hate the Sox but I like them much more than the Yankees. I just get pissed when Sox fans cry about the Yankees spending so much. The Sox spend more than every team except the Yankees and the Dodgers but still lose every season. Boston has more money than the Marlins, Angels, and Diamondbacks; the last 3 World Champions.

I'm a sox fan, and I agree 100%, the sox can't complain about money.

Now, the suposive "plan" is for the sox to trim payroll next season, the reason being if you go over 2yrs in a row, the luxury tax doubles.

But yeah, the sox don't lose because of lack of money...

Bad coaching would top my list.

[YOUR Hero]

Um, yeah. I do expect someone to drop their mask before throwing a punch. To do anything otherwise, no matter who you're fighting with is a pussy tactic.

Oh he took his mask off right after... :roll: Big fucking deal, he still took a freebie.

Pussy tactic.


Must be taking lessons from Pedro, the kung fu master of grampa tossin'

[YOUR Hero]

...and I like the Red Sox moreso than the Yanks.

[VonErich Lives]

Even Zim said Pedro did nothing wrong and had nothing to apoligize about, Zim came at him and thew a punch, Pedro tried to sheild himsef/deflect Zim. But that's an old story.

As for the mask, no... in the heat of the moment, your not even thinking "oh wait, I have a mask on my face", no, your thinking, A-rod just said "FU" 3 times and waved his hand at me and said "let's go".

A-rod should have taken the base, weather it was on purpose or not, it wasn't at his head, or tried to jam him on the hand or inside arm.

[The Miz]

Must be taking lessons from Pedro, the kung fu master of grampa tossin'
LOL you gotta be kidding me. I don't care how old or non-threatening someone is, if they try to attack you you have to try and prevent it. Pedro did nothing out of line, he tried to move out of the way and hold back Zimmer and it's not Pedro's fault Zim's fat ass fell over.

[Crimson]

The bottom line here is that this isn't really that big a rivalry, it's an ownership. The Yankees own the Redsox, end of story.

[YOUR Hero]

Heat of the moment my ass, when I played competitive hockey, we had to wear full shields for insurance purposes. However, if ever you got into it with someone, without thinking, the mask/helmet came off immediately.

Those that didn't were targeted for what seemed like forever, usually with no support from their teammates.

ok, do we really need to compare the # of fights and it being "part of the game" in hockey vs. Baseball?

Average team has maybe 1? 2? a year... if that...

[The Miz]

Baseball players aren't morons like hockey players, there are rarely any fights in baseball. No one in baseball is a big enough idiot to not support their teammate for something stupid like not taking off their mask.

[Kane Knight]

yeah, didn't hear you talking crap in 1918!!! (then again, I wasn't alive then)..

umm...

Hero didn't hear you talking crap in 1918!
Hero didn't have hearing aides yet.

[YOUR Hero]

Whatever folks, that was a pussy tactic.

I'd drill Varitek on his first plate appearance if I were the coach. I'd start some mid reliever instead of my starter. All with the sole purpose of drilling Varitek between the shoulder blades.


Old School.

[YOUR Hero]

LOL WTF. Nice dive right in front of Damon, Kapler.

Looking nervous.

[The Miz]

Red Sox just proved in the 1st inning why they're 8.5 games out. Lofton catches Damon sleeping and takes 2 on what should've been a single, Jeter bunts him to 3rd, and Sheffield pops it up to right center and no one calls it. 1-0 Yankees.

[YOUR Hero]

Lowe hits Posada, bases loaded. Not a hard ball hit yet.

[YOUR Hero]

Lowe looks frazzled.

[YOUR Hero]

Varitek isn't playing. LOL. Sorry, but he's gotta be out there, saying he hurt his wrist in the scuffle, that is weak.

[YOUR Hero]

How does Matsui take that pitch. My god.

[YOUR Hero]

Nice catch by Damon, I thought that was over his head. A little atonement.

[YOUR Hero]

Ump's got a tight strike zone it seems. As long as he's consistant.

[The Miz]

Red Sox match a season high with 2 flyball catches in one inning.

[YOUR Hero]

Good hustle by Damon there. He's playing like The Man.

[YOUR Hero]

That 'wake me up' HAs slapped Johnny in the face. He's ready to play now.

[The Miz]

LOL WTF. Throwing the ball over the 1st basemans head on a pickoff? This like watching a little league game.

[YOUR Hero]

Now they walk Bellhorn. Gonna be an interesting game to say the least.

[VonErich Lives]

Lowe looks frazzled.

No, that's how he always look...

well, actually, he's always frazzled...

He blew about 4-5mil a year by not accepting the sox offer in the offseason.

[VonErich Lives]

Red Sox just proved in the 1st inning why they're 8.5 games out. Lofton catches Damon sleeping and takes 2 on what should've been a single, Jeter bunts him to 3rd, and Sheffield pops it up to right center and no one calls it. 1-0 Yankees.

Defense is horrible on the team...

and the yanks have a better coach... smart plan, try and score early and get lowe all screwed up.

[YOUR Hero]

Bit of a high strike call there, Ortiz didn't seem upset by it. Mighta said it, before signaling to us TV people.

[YOUR Hero]

Bases loaded for the best RBI guy I've ever watched, Manny.

[The Miz]

Contreras has gotta throw strikes.

[YOUR Hero]

Force at home, LOL. Looked like he was off the plate. Need a replay...

[YOUR Hero]

Posada dragged his leg nicely actually.

[YOUR Hero]

Bases loaded, no outs. Gotta get something. 2 outs now and nothing.

[YOUR Hero]

Tie game. Millar been getting the job done all series.

[Loose Cannon]

Yeah, Kerry just lost my vote.

[YOUR Hero]

:lol:

Don't worry he'll Flip Flop [/republican]

[YOUR Hero]

Varitek ain't playing so they hit Marribelli (SP). Well that's not why...

[MrMeJW]

I fucking love Johnny Damon

[YOUR Hero]

He's in the game, I'm telling you. Lofton taking the extra base on him was the worse thing that could have happened for the Yankees. Also, that foul ball call, that did look fair, was also a bad thing for *UPDATE BELLHORN HITS A HR TOO* the Yanks as well.

[The Miz]

God dammit, I go to get some cheetos and it's 6-2 Sox. What happened?

[MrMeJW]

Damon got a 3 run home run and belhorn got a solo homerun right after him

[Dragon]

Grand slam by Matsui.

[Yashamaga]

Millar is going crazy at the plate :eek:

he's now 10-12 in the series with 5 HRs and like 16 RBI or something

[OssMan]

what is the score now. 9-6 when I stopped watching :o

[Loose Cannon]

21-6 Yankees. They had a big rally

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

Foulke closes it out.....Nice

That grand slam shouldn't have even happened, A-Rod should have been called out on strikes. 3 "borderline" pitches, I am pretty sure ATLEAST one was a strike, either way though, Sox pull out with the victory :cool:

[OssMan]

what was final scoreeeeee

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

9-6

[Gonzo]

May be the year for the BoSox. Or not. Maybe.

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

I really thought last year was the "year" I always say it, but last year I really had a feeling like they were going to win it all. But I was wrong

I am not too sure about this year. Last year they won every close game, and didn't make bonehead plays in the field..they seem to be doing that type of shit this year though. Take away the errors and unearned runs the Sox would probably be in the running for the AL East crown

[Gonzo]

I don't follow baseball too closely, and I surely know the Yankee-BoSox rivalry is very intense but if a team is willing to go to fist-to-cuffs over baseball, they mean business. :eek:

[The Miz]

Shut the hell up

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

LOL

[Gonzo]

Sucketh my dicketh.

[The Miz]

No seriously, Shut the hell up

[Gonzo]

Eh, no. I'm not going to hijack this thread however, so I'm done here. Until I have something to say about the topic on hand.

[The Miz]

A little less talk, a little more shut the hell up

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

Get out of my season long Red Sox topic if you don't know anything about baseball dick

Anyways anyone see Kerry throw out the opening pitch to a member of the military from Woburn? The dickhead announcer kept announcing "Woburn" wrong though.

REPPIN' WOBURN

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

"WOAH-BURN" - Dickhead announcer

"Woo-burn" - The correct way

although with the Boston acsent around here everyone pronounces it "Wo-bin" haha

[The Miz]

haha yeah I thought of you when he said that

[VonErich Lives]

now only 7.5 back...

Gotta win on the road, gotta pick up a few more games... still got 6 vs tha Yanks...

Lowe looked better then he has... who knows... if he gets his crap together, you have a nice rotation going...
