MLB PLAYOFFS TUESDAY OCT 19TH-"Moment of truth"

[raven56706]

8:10 PM ET
Boston 98-64 (Rd: 43-38)
NY Yankees 101-61 (Hm: 57-24)

ALCS GAME 6: YANKEES LEAD 3-2
Bos - Schilling (21-6, 3.26) NYY - Lieber (14-8, 4.33)

Its been a great series.....Hope my boys can clean the Soxes

[Demontooth]

Great...8 o'clock start means the game won't be over until 2 am.

[huh?]

Do you think that the who's your daddy chant has anymore legs? I mean, who can tell who is the daddy anymore....

The Yanks certainly own Pedo... but...

The Red Sox own Rivera and Ortiz owns the Yanks.....


Who would have thought that Rivera would blow 4 saves to the Red Sox in one season.

[Red Dog]

I like the taglines for these threads.

So we know that no team in baseball has ever come back from 0-3 to win a series. Has any team ever been down 0-3 and gotten to a Game 7 (only to lose)? I don't recall it ever happening. I can't even remember a time where a team down 0-3 rallied to win the next 2. I'm guessing that has happened though.

[huh?]

I heard something about this on the radio this morning.

Only two times has a team that's been down 0-3 come back to force a game six.

In 1998, the Braves against the Padres, and in 1999 the Mets against Braves.


In both cases, the team that was down 0-3 lost game 6, so no one has ever forced a game 7 from down 0-3.

[Demontooth]

I thought the "who's your dealer" chant for Sheffield was more original

Thanks for the knowledge. Yeah - I knew that 0-3 to 2-3 had to be rare; didn't realize it happened so recently though.

[Tommy_Harn]

The Mets actually took game 6 to extra innnings in '99. Kenny Rogers came in with the bases loaded in the 10th and walked Andruw Jones (I believe) in four pitches. They had Octavio Dotel left in the bullpen.

[B.A.]

They just said on the radio that if you took Albert Pujols out of the equation, the Cardinals batting average for the three games in Houston was .086.

rotfl


:(

[AndyCapps]

Yep. Spiffy, ain't it.

[Dubya]

The Braves-Mets series in 99 is the only one I can recall as far as baseball is concerned (that was a classic series btw).

I haven't kept up with the NBA since the dismantling of the Bulls but I seem to recall some series involving the Utah Jazz going from 3-0 to 3-3 but the team that was up 3-0 won game 7. Then again it is the NBA, which disproves Fox's tagline of "You can't script the postseason" ;) :D

Seriously though the 1940 (?) Toronto Maple Leafs are the last (only?) team to come back from 3-0 that I know of. It would be pretty funny if the Red Sox, of all teams, are the ones to finally overcome that barrier.

This game is going to come down to one thing: Schilling's ankle. If he goes less than six, I don't think the Sox have a chance. Also, hopefully Damon will come alive and the Sox lineup can figure out a guy who baffled them earlier. I don't get it: Lieber was not even one of the Yankee's top starters all season and now Boston fears him. The difference between the Yankees and Red Sox has always boiled down to unknown Yankees (Bucky F. Dent, Aaron F. Boone, Joe F. Leiber) getting on fire in October and it's no different this year.

[Red Dog]

I suppose the Sox will use Mendoza if Schilling gets into early trouble? He didn't pitch the last 2 nights.

No team in the NBA or MLB has come back to win the series. 2 teams in the NHL have.

They then dropped the next three and were behind near the start of the 4th quarter of game 7 before finally getting things together and winning.

It makes a huge difference in Rivera's blown saves totals when they bring him in with runners on 1st and 3rd and 1 out (or 0 out, I forget what it was last night). He gave up a sac fly that tied the game. Yet he gets credited with the blown save.

Rivera rarely, if ever, comes into situations like that in the regular season. Same with Gagne. Which is why their save totals and streaks are so absurd. Just goes to show you how bullshit the save stat is, given that no 2 saves are the same.

[RoyalTea]

what are the odds that Jeter leads off the bottom of the first with a bunt?

[wabio]

Agreed - in another scenario, a pitcher can come in and start the ninth with his team up by 2. He could walk a couple of guys, allow a base hit, give up a run, get the final out and still get credited with a save.

If any of you have seen John Franco pitch, you then know what I mean! I really hope he retires this year.

[B.A.]

Yanks/Sox deserve the day off today, not the Cardinals/'Stros.

Go Red Sox! I guess if they lose, Game 6 of the NLCS will be at 8:20 instead of 4:20. I'd prefer to start my 3 hour drive home at 7PM St. Louis time instead of 11PM, thanks.

If anyone complains about a batter trying to get on base in any way possible in game six of an LCS (against the batter's bitter rival, no less), then he is a moron.

[El Scorcho]

He's referring to Ben Davis breaking up his no-hitter in the 8th (or was it the 9th?) a couple years back by bunting in a 2-0 game. I think.

No one is complaining. I'm just saying there are consequences for trying to take the bitch's path to first.

[MJKTool]

Wow that comment is really retarded.

[SpaceBoy]

I hope Jeter lays down a bunt too, and schilling proceeds to hit him on the hand next time up..

I understand you do what it takes to get on base, but it seems a bit low to try to possibly re-injure an injured player, just to get a guy on base. Then again, Schilling is taking the risk getting on the mound, just dont' complain when he takes it out on the yankees batters.

I dont' believe Leiber can pitch like that again, he's a career .500 pitcher, and era over 4 I think.. (Oh oh, I posted prior to the game, I might have just jinxed the sox again...)

[raven56706]

Spaceboy jinxed the sox.......... Yankees will prevail tonight.....HAHAHAHAH...(evil laugh of course)

If that happens, it'll be even.

Jeter will be testing out Schilling's ankle, and Schilling will be testing out Jeter's reflex.

and a break for the pitching staffs would be nice too

Well its raining as of right now here in Queens...As soon as it stops, Im resorting to shots because I see another night of hell coming up. Ill take it though if it means another win.

I think that's stupid. If Schilling and the Red Sox want to risk themselves by having a liability on the field, then the Yankees have all the right to take advantage of it. It's no different then knowingly taking advantage of a poor defensive fielder or someone with a weak throwing arm.

You don't get allowances on the field just because you're injured.

[Patman]

What's the over/under on the number of pitches Schilling throws before his ankle gives out?

[Preacher]

Is it still raining? Anyone have any updates? I'm at work.

PS: "Evil genius" is a reference to both "evil" and "genius," which I do not know how to explain better. :D

10/19/04 165 Pitches Thrown OFF OFF Over 85 (-145)
20:15 ET Pitches Thrown OFF OFF Under 85 (+115)

The whole game line opened at 102 moved to -140NY down to -130 now back up to -133. The u10 dropped to -115.

Back to the stupidity of the save stat...the blown save is even stupider...it tries to assume the intent of the manager...if Gordon allows the sacrafice fly, theres no blown save because we assume that he's not in there to close the game, yet immideatly after the sac fly, it was a blown save because we assume that Mariano was in there to save the game...since any 3 innings is a save, a reliever that gives up a 4 run lead in the 6th should be charged with a blown save...its a totally imaginary stat.

Now dont get me started on the awarding of wins to relievers that give up a lead...

Gordon gets a blown save if he blows the lead, as does any reliever really. It's not about intent, its about giving up a lead. In fact, Gordon had 6 blown saves this year. Paul Quantrill had 4 blown saves. Rivera had 4. Doesn't matter who is intended to close.

Its drizzling right now...Will more than likely do this all night. Not enough to stop the game but just enough to make for really sloppy conditions.

[chrisih8u]

Bill Mueller is batting 2nd tonight. Cabrera 8th and Bellhorn 9th.

Interesting move...Hopefully Damon can pull out of his funk tonight, and that the team as a whole makes Leiber work alot harder in this game.

[Roto]

they've started the pregame on the radio. Looks like the game is a go. Better go make a quick run to the liquor store to get through this.

[jmaxlow]

I can't see why Francona doesn't start Reese, or even put him in during the late innings. A Cabrera-Reese infield combination would be stellar, and you won't sacrifice that much by taking out the struggling Belhorn.

Is he injured?

Yep, don't quite understand the decision myself.

Now that I think of it, was todd walker any worse then bellhorn defensively?

[chrisih8u]

He's not injured. I think Francona just likes Bellhorn better.

[FantasticVSDoom]

Its not like the defense has been bad, and the hope is that Belhorn will give you better power. Of course the operative word there is hope. If the sox can actually get and keep a lead late, and by late I mean within the 9 innings, you will definitely see Reese...

[jmaxlow]

Well, Reese can actually bunt, and Belhorn has absolutely tanked in this series. Reese's range can turn hits into outs, whereas Belhorn is significantly more limited.

The hope that Belhorn can break out of his slump seems remote... and if he does, what does he give you... a few singles?

Oh well.

[FantasticVSDoom]

Well here we go...Its time for Round 6.

[Tommy Ceez]

Here we go again...

[KTIK]

Lieber won't give up a walk, and that's what Bellhorn looks for first, before getting behind and striking out. Hopefully he can at least make some contact and help move along runners if he's going to get out.

[chrisih8u]

BREAKING NEWS!

Johnny Damon strikes out :rolleyes:

[wildcatlh]

Ouch.

[chrisih8u]

Instead of clipping his toenails he should get a shave and a haircut the next time he's in the dugout -rolleyes-

After not getting that bunt down last night I halfway expected him to show up clean shaven today.

Ok Curt...About 7 more innings of that and Ill be able to sleep tonight.

[Tommy Ceez]

I cant say I have extensivly studied Schillings windup, so I'll take Leiters word for it and assume this is normal...It doesnt seem that he had a really exagerated leg drive to begin with...he throws with alot of arm.

[wildcatlh]

Someone on the Red Sox can bunt!

OMG!

[Copenhagen]

Bases loaded 1 out..this can get bad.

You may be the funniest person I've ever read on the internet :up:

[jdpatri]

Now, after watching Bellhorn hit with the bases loaded last inning, why isn't Pokey Reese playing second base???

Bellhorn's been worthless with the bat and worst case scenario, Pokey creates havoc on the basepaths and wields better leather. Hell, bat him leadoff and put Damon 9th.

[chrisih8u]

Damon :up:

Torre, talk to your left fielder. He knows it was a homer.

[KTIK]

Bellhorn delievers!!!!!

Oh Bellhorn, you are magnificent!!!

[wildcatlh]

I take back all the bad things I said about Bellhorn.

[nickdawgy]

Nothing like a good game 7, if Boston wins tomorrow, they deserve to win the World Series.

Looks like the Red Sox have solved Lieber's mastery over them. Let's see if Schilling can keep on pitching big tonight with them new 'Boks.

[criptik28]

Wow that was so clearly a homer.

4/5. You forgot that it has to be in all caps. :)

[Bushdog]

Yeah, they got the call right. :(

Brutal inning. Well, we get to see if they can get to Curt.

[FantasticVSDoom]

If the sox win this game, Im going out and buying a pair of Reeboks...

Hell yeah they would. Forget about the come-from-behind, walk-off wins in Games 4 and 5...just coming back from 3-0 down would be a remarkable, unmatched feat.

THAT was brutal? Did you watch Game 3? Now THAT game defined brutality. :(

[Copenhagen]

I understand the rooting for the Sox and (mostly) the rooting against the Yankees, but the Sox are not the favorites here.

I was lucky to spell it correctly... You know what,

OH EL SCORCHO, YOU ARE MAGNIFICENT!!!!!

[chrisih8u]

Nice! :up:

[wildcatlh]

Great pitching from Schilling to get out of it, but he's obviously really hurting. Praying he doesn't hurt himself worse by pitching tonight.

[Tommy Ceez]

crap

[Roto]

I don't know how Schilling's foot hasn't fallen off with all these left handed hitters.

[huh?]

Good job Schilling.

I finally learned my lesson and turned the audio off on FOX. I'm listening to this game WEEI. It's much more enjoyable.

[FantasticVSDoom]

I hope Schilling can continue to hold up...Got the big hitters coming up, hopefully they can add a little.

She's only 12. She still has a year or two before she turns into an idiot ;)

[Tommy Ceez]

Must...chase....Schilling...soon.

[Copenhagen]

How did Varitek overrun it that far.

[The Cow]

:lol: interesting dive...

[Tommy Ceez]

Is it a game break when the game was yesterday?

[wildcatlh]

At least the screwup with the foul ball didn't hurt 'em.

[wildcatlh]

FOX making all of Red Sox Nation cry.

[FantasticVSDoom]

Nice inning for Schilling there...

[Roto]

I wish the monkey in the control room would quit flipping the hd switch on and off.

[huh?]

Is it wrong to want to be sitting in the bleachers with a BB gun to take out the asshole dressed up like Babe Ruth's ghost?

That 12 year old girl may or may not become an idiot, but she will be OUR possible idiot.

I've been yankee hating since I was a wee young lad.. about 7 or so :) Mostly because the biggest prick in the school was a yankee fan.

Then I learned about Steinbrenner when I was 9 and hated him too.

Then when you became mod.. that was the last straw.

;)

She said she was a yankee fan. It's already etched in stone at this point ;)

I don't know when Scorcho turned into a hater, but for me it was the 95 Yankees/Mariners series. It just never got a chance to fade away after that.

Its happening in NY too

[chrisih8u]

67 pitches for Schilling so far through 5. :up: Fuckin huge.

[jdpatri]

Mark Bellhorn, I'm sorry about all the bad things I said about you in the second. And yesterday. And the day before that....

Yes it is, the BB gun won't take him down. I suggest a bigass sniper rifle.

[neiname]

Not only does McCarver sound like a fool, he looks like one with that scarf.

[El Scorcho]

I'm glad McCarver just told me that nobody's come back from a 3 game deficit. I had no idea!

[KTIK]

"Who's going to execute them? That's the question!"

They need to get Costas to do these games, somehow.

[kevin75]

here comes the 7th!! go curt!

[DarkElf]

Just got home from work. 4-0 Sox!!! Wow, what a pleasant surprise! :eek:

You guys, bitch about McCarver all you want, but on ESPN Radio, we have the ultra annoying Joe Morgan. -ohbfrank-

[FantasticVSDoom]

Well Leiber is over 100 pitches now...Just hold up Schilling.

Leiter's face was priceless when McCarver said that...

[kevin75]

that schilling commercial was great! :lol:

[Slowpc]

Curt just keeps going.... even with the bloody sock...

[Slowpc]

^Kevin...

oh yea, i remember that when it started to air, much better than the ford ones and other commericals.
