I don't really follow baseball as I prefer Hockey and Football but this game was a funny.

National Anthem after the 7th inning was ridiculous. Have they done this before? I don't see the point of having some fat guy come out on to the field and sing "God bless America" for no apparent reason other that the ending of the 7th inning?

Rodriguez(sp) ball swipe was decent, but the pitcher was out of place clearly, he was nervous... should of thrown to first base, but it worked out for the Sox.

Swat team getting sent out was a good opportunity for some nice front row seats, they had nothing better to do, I don't see why they can't be out there.

Boston deserved it, because I always enjoy it when games go into a the 7th game.

What is the big deal with the 7th inning stretch and signing of God Bless America. Its not the National Anthem, plus its something some parks do. I am pretty sure when I went to Fenway this season during the 7th inning stretch they played Take me out to the ballgame. Its just something they do. Not a big deal.

It's called the seventh inning stretch. That's what they do now, singing a patriotic song. They used to sing "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" but then 9/11 happened.

I coulda sworn when I went to Fenway this summer, they played Take me out to the ball game? I dunno, maybe they did both.

Do they sign God Bless America in every ballpark during the 7th inning stretch? They usually don't broadcast the 7th inning stretch so I have no idea...help me out here

I am not keen on religion being incorporated in anthems (baseball, country, olympics) An anthem should be more realistic, not phony. Take me out to the ballgame was allright, why can't we revert back to that?

Oh

Since 9/11 we have to get all patriotic, it sucks.

They do both for Oakland Athletics, San Francisco Giants, and Arizona Diamondbacks. On nationally televised games, I think they skip "Take Me Out to the Ballgame".

I'm pretty sure the Cubs still do it to.

I hate to do it, but I tip my hat to Schilling, he pitched a masterpiece tonight.

If the Yankees stopped playing Yankee "leave 2 guys standed" baseball, we;d be in business again.

Congrats to the Sox for keeping on.

Sox site says Lowe v. Brown tonight...

I'd expect every team to pull everyone out...

I wouldn't be shocked to see Pedro or Moose out of the pen if needed.

Stima - It's Mike Myers, not Greg (hence when he pitches at fenway they play Austin Powers out of the pen and then Halloween when he hits the mound).

Great game... Ya know... I can't get all over the Yanks fans for throwing balls... in 1999, at Fenway, there were 2 horrible calls at 2nd base... One was a force out, when the yankee 2b (forgot who) never had the ball in his glove for more then 1/2 a second, the other was a tag, that missed by 3+ feet and the sox player was still called out. Jimmy Williams argued and got ejected and the Sox fans litered the field.

This lead to stienbrenner making comments about how the fans reaction was all Jimmy Williams fault and lead to JW famous line of "When Georgie porgie speaks, I don't listen".

As for riot gear, they did that to protect the field, incase the Yanks won... to try and keep 55K idiots from running all over the field and ruining the place before the WS.

You think if the Sox win tonight, and can a chance to win the WS in game #6 or #7 they won't be on fenway in riot gear? Hell, they'll be all over from Cleveland Circle, Beacon St, Comm Ave, Kenmore, Symphony hall... riot police all fricken over... They learned there lesson last time the Pats won, and this would be nuts.

Anyway, game #7, like it should be...

Glad to see those umps get the right calls... Matsui also helped the way he reacted... most players would have gone full speed and played it like it hit the wall hoping to confuse the umps... but he played it like a HR.

In all three Mets games I've been to this season, each time they skipped "God Bless America" and went right to "Take Me Out To The Ballgame" and then afterwards they play some annoying Italian song.

Wow, just WOW. Last night I went from feeling like I've been told that I just won the lotto to the lotto guys calling me back 2 minutes later and saying, "Actually, we got it wrong, your next door neighbor actually won the lotto."

I don't know. When did all this umpires gathering together start happening? Like I know it was the right call with both plays, but you're seriously going to give me a heart attack if you keep changing the fuckin calls like that. If you're going to do that, then fuckin get an instant replay rule or something. LOL at A-ROD though. If he got away with that, I could just see all the Yankee Haters just screaming at thier TV's.

When Tony Clark came up in the 9th, I swear I thought he was hitting one out. Like I saw the whole play in my head, heard the call by the announcers, saw the fans going nuts, saw myself going nuts. Weird. But he did what he's been doing and that's sucking.

This is all that's on my mind right now. I don't know how I'm possibly going to study for two tests tommorrow. It's going to be crazy.

Tony Clark, nice to see him play how he did for the Sox last year.... Good defense but can't hit.

As for the A-rod play, I don't blame him at all... as a NFL lineman would tell you "It's only holding if they catch you"

Honestly, I think he could have done it a little more subtle and possible got away w/ it...

As for the confrences, thats gone on a few years.... It's not the same as instant replay, where you look at TV and different angles. All they do and the home plate ump has to call it, is ask if anyone had a better view and saw something different.

Can't wait for tonight.

and I was suprised Torre argued about it. He was in a better position to see it too than the Red Sox coach, but I agree with LC, when did all this "discussion" come about? It's a freakin game. Just make a call, right or wrong and move on.

No, they did the right thing, if someone else had a better angle, they should over ride the call.

"it's just a game"

yeah, when your playing w/ your friends or grade school level.

After that, there's lots of money at stake... taking a few mins to discuss and get the call right is the right thing to do.

Wasn't refering to gambling.

Money to the teams and players, length in playoffs, national prime-time coverage, mech sales, etc...

Also, on a side note for you NY's... people have called the local radio station in Boston to rip on the fans throwing stuff, and every host has said the same thing I did... "Do you remember when Fenway fans did the same thing in 1999, w/ the two wrong calls".

So, we don't all think your animals (still doesn't mean you don't belong in a cage!)

LC, little bet on tonight? Looser puts the winning teams Logo as their aviator till the start of next season?

This is all that's on my mind right now. I don't know how I'm possibly going to study for two tests tommorrow. It's going to be crazy.
I thought the exact same thing LC. I thought Clark was going to step up...or Giambi was going to come off the bench, knock out Clark, step in, BAM walk off.

I can't believe people are complaining that the umps met and made the right call. That is rediculous. It wasn't a routine play, its not like they called in the left field umpire to see if A-Rod beat a throw. There needed to be a meeting and it came out right.

I think if Lofton's on the LCS roster, he's on the bench incase of injury or pinch runner... he's still got speed for an old goat and can play all 3 OF positiions.

Kinda like how Francona didn't want to bring in Mirabelli for Teck when they brought in Wake, cause if something happened to Mirabelli at that point the only person left was Pokey to play catcher. (more likely, Mancavietz move to catcher, pokey to SS and bellhorn to 1st that night.)
