The fans finally got fed up and thew stuff on the field (not something I support). Jimmy I think finnally got tossed arguing plans. Steinbrenner after the game blamed the fans reaction on Jimmy Williams, that if he didn't argue the calls, the fans wouldn't have done anything. Jimmy Williams response "When georgie porge speaks, I don't listen". I must admit, I miss Williams, he was a decent (not great) manager and was very old school, hated the modern press (TV-Radio). Everything was "Managers decision" he never hung a player out. His 2 responses to reporters I lmao at the most. "Well, if a frog had wings it wouldn't bump it's booty" Then a give take with a reporter. JW - "Oh yeah, what team did you coach?" Reporter - "Well, umm... I coached braintree little league" JW - "Well, I was a brain treee surgen". |

Good pitcher v. Good hitter. Strikout. Did the hitter choke, or did the pitcher beat him? |

Yeah the hitter's choked for 4 games, the pitching had nothing to do with it. Those complete games are irrelevant.

yeah i mean, this (3 straight CG) is only something that has never happened in 30 plus years.
outside of the starters, we have only had one other pitcher appear in this series. i'm thinking that we will see the bullpen tonight, but you never know... jose has a CG under his belt this year. |

Not only is it Vlad's knees but he also has a bad shoulder (which is scary because of the gun he has) and a bad wrist. If you read up on his various injuries, most writers will suspect that he only has about 2 or 3 productive years left in his career. Which really is a shame because I don't think he is, right now, as good as he really could be. |

Bases loaded no outs no runs is a choke. Duque was excellent, yes, but there's no excuse for not being able to hit a weak grounder and get the run home.

All I'm saying is that with the bases loaded, no one out, at home, in an inning which Manny has already homered, your season on the line, Varitek/Graffanino/Damon due up, a run has to be scored. Anything except a pop up and a strikeout will do it. They popped up twice and stuck out once. No excuses.

You are right, there are no excuses but it seems like you aren't giving the Sox pitching the credit for shutting down that offense.

Holy shit, amazing stand by Astros defense. Bad play by Pujols though, why go with only one out?

Can't help but wonder what would've happened to these teams with a different manager.
2005 Cardinals? 2004 Cardinals 2002 Cardinals 1992 A's 1990 A's 1988 A's 1983 White Sox I'm not blaming their struggles on La Russa, I'm just saying he's had more talent than any one other than Joe Torre and doesn't have much to show for it. |

Almost another ridiculous call made, but it was reversed. Escobar picks up the ball and tags Pierzynski with his glove which does not have the ball in it.

I wonder how far you have to go back to find that in any Postseason play. |

Personally, I would take A-Rod over Vlad if I had the choice, he is simply a better overall player. Finally, Frankie is just awful. |

Manager Ozzie Guillen's team became the first club to pitch four complete games in a single postseason series since the 1956 New York Yankees got them from Whitey Ford, Tom Sturdivant, Don Larsen (his perfect game) and Bob Turley against the Brooklyn Dodgers. |
