[twikoff]

i guess ill be listening to that asshat call the sox/yanks game on xm again today

[nevermind]

I hope the Cubs get out of AZ winning 2 of 3.

They had a couple chances late to tie it up last night and didn't capitalize.

[nevermind]

i guess ill be listening to that asshat call the sox/yanks game on xm again today

:yack:

I hope he doesn't get to say his "daaaablahhhhhhhh Yankees win!!!1!!!1" today.

[BrianYuen]

Oakland A's will probably lose

Saarloos is starting........

[welb25]

I hope the Yanks can get some big hits today and don't leave so many damn runners on base.

[B.A.]

Bud needs to do the country a favor and fold the Devil Rays - now.

[LorenzoL]

Bud needs to do the country a favor and fold the Devil Rays - now.

After this season. They are one team that I'm sure will have a worse record than the Jays at the end of the season in the AL East.

Also watching the game last night, their fan support is non existent with all of those empty seats. I think a Triple A game can garner more fans to a game and play better baseball too.

[Setzer]

I hope the Yanks can get some big hits today and don't leave so many damn runners on base.

They're 2-0....don't complain. :p

[DaveNinja]

I thought Kasmir was supposed to SP for the devil rays today.

[welb25]

They're 2-0....don't complain. :p

I know but they won't keep beating the Sox leaving the bases loaded twice and hitting into alot of double plays like they did yesterday.

[Mad Dawg]

I thought Kasmir was supposed to SP for the devil rays today.

He started yesterday. 1 ER through 5 IP.

[FantasticVSDoom]

I know but they won't keep beating the Sox leaving the bases loaded twice and hitting into alot of double plays like they did yesterday.
Dont worry, the Sox will double the amount of players left on base then any team they face...I think thats written into everyone's contract.

[nevermind]

Renteria -ohbfrank-

[Mad Dawg]

Renteria -ohbfrank-

I was going to just let it go, but that was freakin' painful.

[nevermind]

I was going to just let it go, but that was freakin' painful.


On a plus side (I have to find one with him this week), he did try to avoid the tag instead of slapping the glove :).

[Mad Dawg]

Both pitchers are working well so far. Hopefully the Sox can get a couple of more runners on and Edgar (or anyone) can elevate a ball a little. With Mussina's knucklecurve bitting hard today, that may be wishful thinking.

[Dabaomb]

I know but they won't keep beating the Sox leaving the bases loaded twice and hitting into alot of double plays like they did yesterday.

the W is what counts. they could win 20-0 or 1-0, I'm happy as long as they're winning.

[Mad Dawg]

Manny gets a hit! That's #1 for '05.

[nevermind]

Bases loaded no outs....

[Mad Dawg]

Come on, Sox. Do not come away empty handed here.

YES!! Millar makes it 2-0.

[Dabaomb]

well that sucks :mad:

[nevermind]

ahhhhhh mlbtv is buffering!!!!

[SpaceBoy]

Yay Sox.. Moose looking old.. (from the sounds of my mlb broadcast)

[nevermind]

mlb tv is awful today :mad:


Well at least I got to see the replay

[Mad Dawg]

Edgar! :mad: That's two AB's, 4 outs. (David's fault on the last one)

[Dabaomb]

nice DP.

If Ortiz isn't on the bag, he's taking too big of a lead :lol:

[welb25]

Nice Leadoff walk Mussina. The Sox are too good to be doing that.

[Deftones]

:lol:

I was watching the free MLB.TV thing just fine at work. So I decide to buy the Audio one so I can listen to it at work. I just paid for it, tried it, and now my work is blocking it. :(

Guess I can listen games at home while on my computer playing poker, though.

[Mad Dawg]

Well, you love to see a single after a guy gets thrown out at 2nd. Ugh.

Come on, Billy.

Bah.

[raven56706]

Renteria lined into double play second to shortstop, Ortiz out at second.


rotfl real hard after reading that....... just for the fact that people here are complaining about him

[Mad Dawg]

A-Rod makes it 2-1.

By the way, A-Rod had an off year in '04. People need to stop making these ridiculous excuses for him. It wasn't "learning to play in big bad NY" nearly as much as it was changing from a premier hitter's park to Yankee Stadium.

[nevermind]

Mad Dawg are you watching mlb tv, espn, or listening?

[Dabaomb]

A-Rod makes it 2-1.

:up:

A-Rod, let your play on the field do your talking

[welb25]

That's a big fly to right-center for a right handed hitter.

[Mad Dawg]

Mad Dawg are you watching mlb tv, espn, or listening?

ESPN. I'm about to get on MLB TV for the other games.

[nevermind]

ESPN. I'm about to get on MLB TV for the other games.

XM is about 15 seconds behind live, which is normal (trip to outerspace and back, and all that). MLBtv is about 15-20 seconds behind that.

[welb25]

Let's see if Mussina can settle down.

[raven56706]

mussina pisses me off

[Mad Dawg]

XM is about 15 seconds behind live, which is normal (trip to outerspace and back, and all that). MLBtv is about 15-20 seconds behind that.

I found that out yesterday when chrisih8u shouted "motherfucker!" well before I watched Jeter's walk-off HR. :lol:

[nevermind]

I found that out yesterday when chrisih8u shouted "motherfucker!" well before I watched Jeter's walk-off HR. :lol:


:lol:

[Mad Dawg]

Eeeww. MLB TV is using YES today. Back to ESPN for me.

[nevermind]

Eeeww. MLB TV is using YES today. Back to ESPN for me.


I'm just listening now (WEEI) on Gameday audio. Might as well get my $ worth for the month of All Access that I got, because I doubt I'm keeping it. I'll have to deal with WCBS for the ride home.

[raven56706]

MLBTV are yankee fans

[nevermind]

3rd DP :mad:

[B.A.]

3rd DP :mad:Stupid Edgar.

[welb25]

Nice. DP's are keeping Moose and the Yanks in the game.

[Mad Dawg]

Manny does a damn good Edgar impersonation.

YES wouldn't be so bad, but they are harping over the strike zone like crazy. I love it when homer broadcasters overlook things like the called strike on Ortiz an inning ago that was easily 6 inches off the plate. Mussina can't pitch if he doesn't get the calls that he wants? Well, that makes him much different than every other pitcher in the league.

[raven56706]

its just his third game... relax... edgar will be back in form soon.....

[welb25]

Damn it's good to see Tino rounding the bases in those pinstripes.

[Mad Dawg]

Oh well. Once again, the Sox should have had this game in hand, but 2 solo HRs for the Yanks tie busted opportunities for the Sox.

[raven56706]

YAHOOOOOOOOOOO.... tino tino tino.... welcome back baby

[Rogue588]

TINOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

Welcome back, my friend.

[Mad Dawg]

its just his third game... relax... edgar will be back in form soon.....

relax....if we don't...give it to....players...on a daily basis....we'd have nothing....to talk...about here

[twikoff]

rotfl nice impersonation


thats the last time i try to help red sox fans

[nevermind]

rotfl nice impersonation

what the hell are we gonna do with a bunch of .............................s?

[Mad Dawg]

Shit. The guy who's 3-3 can't step on first base without breaking his kneecap.

[Mad Dawg]

what the hell are we gonna do with a bunch of .............................s?

The occasional rest after every few words is pretty helpful.

[Mad Dawg]

I heart Edgar.

[nevermind]

Finally!


Well, time to switch to XM for the ride home :(

[raven56706]

edgar hits the ball. Welcome back to form!

[Mad Dawg]

Finally!


Well, time to switch to XM for the ride home :(

Ooh. Good idea. XM would top off my media-fest. I have a game in the MLB TV window, one in a separate WMP window, and one on TV. I showed the gf last night, and strangely, she was less impressed with the setup than I am. :hscratch:

[Mad Dawg]

Whew. Shef gave that one a ride but it stayed in. Time for another dose of the Clear - um, I mean "gold tooth polish."

[SpaceBoy]

Let's get it going sox, you should be up big by now...

[chrisih8u]

Leadoff hit :up:

[Mad Dawg]

Fun stat of the day. Mark Bellhorn is now 4-11 on the season with 7 Ks.

[Mad Dawg]

Bad move, JD.

This shit is getting old. Stop the baserunning blunders and DPs and score some goddamn runs.

[chrisih8u]

Dont feel bad, Damon. I saw a little leaguer do the exact same thing the other day.

[raven56706]

Millar is hurt

[SpaceBoy]

Haha. Way to go Damon..

Oh well if nothing you can take away satisfaction knowing the sox are playing terrible baseball again, and should have won yesterday and most likely today. I think that holds well come Oct.

[Mad Dawg]

Breaking news: The US has invaded Iraq in an effort to topple Saddam Hussein's Bathist regime!

[huh?]

JD is a dumbass. That shit doesn't even happen in T-Ball....

[Mad Dawg]

Haha. Way to go Damon..

Oh well if nothing you can take away satisfaction knowing the sox are playing terrible baseball again, and should have won yesterday and most likely today. I think that holds well come Oct.

Yep. Should be 2-1, will probably end the series 0-3. Nauseating.

[raven56706]

Damn it i missed it. What did damon do?

[chrisih8u]

Damn it i missed it. What did damon do?

He just hit a grand slam. I think the Sox may win the ALCS!

[El Scorcho]

Not nauseating:

[Rogue588]

Dont feel bad, Damon. I saw a little leaguer do the exact same thing the other day.

He was on Conan last nite. Might be a good ballplayer [at times], but he seems like a real....idiot. Pardon the pun.

[Mad Dawg]

Damn it i missed it. What did damon do?

He was trying to steal second on a 3-1 count. He slid in and came off the bag so he was tagged out, despite the fact that Nixon drew the walk.

[Mad Dawg]

He just hit a grand slam. I think the Sox may win the ALCS!

:lol:

Let's hope there a "C" on Varitek's so he knows that it's his..

[Third Baseman]

He was on Conan last nite. Might be a good ballplayer [at times], but he seems like a real....idiot. Pardon the pun.



Every interview he's done he comes out looking/sounding like an idiot. http://raisedbykubrick.com/smilies/hsughbow.gif

[huh?]

Sox have 10 hits...

Yanks have 2....

how the hell is this game tied at 2?

[FantasticVSDoom]

He was trying to steal second on a 3-1 count. He slid in and came off the bag so he was tagged out, despite the fact that Nixon drew the walk.
Well at least there is a positive for me being at work and not being able to see that...

[Mad Dawg]

He was on Conan last nite. Might be a good ballplayer [at times], but he seems like a real....idiot. Pardon the pun.



Seriously, and I like the guy, he doesn't seem to have much between the ears during interviews. Thank god he can play baseball, because I'm not sure how good he is at giving oil changes.

[Mad Dawg]

Let's hope there a "C" on Varitek's so he knows that it's his..

:lol: Okay, okay. That was good.

[FantasticVSDoom]

Every interview he's done he comes out looking/sounding like an idiot. http://raisedbykubrick.com/smilies/hsughbow.gif
he is half a chromosome away from having down syndrome...

[Third Baseman]

Sox have 10 hits...

Yanks have 2....

how the hell is this game tied at 2?

Because only two runs have scored for both teams. http://raisedbykubrick.com/smilies/weaksauce.gif

[Mad Dawg]

Goddammit. Just leave Wakes in the game. 3 hits.

[huh?]

Because only two runs have scored for both teams. http://raisedbykubrick.com/smilies/weaksauce.gif

thanks for answering my rhetorical question....

[Third Baseman]

thanks for answering my rhetorical question.... http://raisedbykubrick.com/smilies/SARCASM.gif




Haha, great stadium music going into commerical.

[huh?]

Embree comes into the game. Maybe we will get another Veritek HR today after all.

[Rockmjd23]

Seriously, and I like the guy, he doesn't seem to have much between the ears during interviews. Thank god he can play baseball, because I'm not sure how good he is at giving oil changes.

My biggest problem during this offseason with Damon and the rest of the team has been all the media, entertainment fluff; Books, Talk shows, Fever pitch, underwear commercials, cameos on gay reality shows. Makes me sick. They should leave all that stuff to the prima donna yankees. It suits jeter and slappy much better. I like it better when we are the underdogs, the Rebel Alliance to NY's Evil Empire, David to their Goliath, Epstein as FDR or Churchill to Steinbrenner's...well you know who. ;) Hopefully now that they're already down 2 games they will refocus on whats important: making NYers cry.

[Mad Dawg]

Nice 2B, DO. Now stand firmly on the bag.

[huh?]

Nice 2B, DO. Now stand firmly on the bag.

rotfl

[SpaceBoy]

Big Papi is continuing to be hot.. from last year.

[Mad Dawg]

I'm physically ill. Let's just leave every motherfucker on base.

[raven56706]

Renteria grounded out to second, Ortiz to third.


rotfl

[huh?]

I see.... so Veritek is not the percentage play there.... WTF???????

[FantasticVSDoom]

Wouldnt this have been a perfect opportunity to bring in Tek?

[Mad Dawg]

Renteria grounded out to second, Ortiz to third.


rotfl

Are you watching this in 1963?

[raven56706]

kind of . cbsportsline :(

[FantasticVSDoom]

kind of . cbsportsline :(
Yeah, same here...Good think I bought that XM, doing me a lot of good right now.

[Mad Dawg]

kind of . cbsportsline :(

I should have known. They were showing Jeter at bat a couple of innings ago after both Jeter and A-Rod had been retired and one Boston hitter was already on base.

Dammit, Alan. Throw it over the plate.

[Mad Dawg]

So, which one takes Timlin deep?

A) Jeter
B) A-Rod
C) Both, followed by Sheffield and Matsui

[Mad Dawg]

Oh shit.

[welb25]

Another Red Sox pitcher hits a Yankee batter. Big shock.

[chrisih8u]

Anyone know where I can download that last pitch?

[Rockmjd23]

Another Red Sox pitcher hits a Yankee batter. Big shock.

They always deserve it though :up:

[Jobronie]

Yeah, that was defintiely his helmet.

There was some confusion on YES.....

[Mad Dawg]

Another Red Sox pitcher hits a Yankee batter. Big shock.

Come on. Jeter is notorious for hanging over the plate, and Giambi has been diving in front of pitches left and right. That was a pitch that got away-clearly.

[Mad Dawg]

Ridiculous. Just end this game now.

[chrisih8u]

-ohbfrank- Bases loaded

[shizawn]

mlb.tv pauses too damn much. :grunt:

[huh?]

Timlin... 5 pitches

5 balls....

Good job.

[welb25]

Clearly it wasn't on purpose in that situation. Timlin is obviously a little wild. Now Mo can blow another save.

[FantasticVSDoom]

:mad:

[Mad Dawg]

Fuck this. The Sox are going to simply give the Yankees 2 out of these 3 games. They need to get into the clubhouse and get their shit in order now.

[huh?]

Same old Red Sox. I'm glad the championship didn't go to their heads.

[Mad Dawg]

Oh boy. A 3-1 pitch to Matsui. That's where you want to be.

[FantasticVSDoom]

Good preparation for the season guys... -ohbfrank-

[Mad Dawg]

ESPN: This has been a great effort by the Yankees to take advantage of every opportunity in the game.

There haven't been any fucking opportunities! Two solo HRs and a sac fly. 1 hit that wasn't a solo jack.

[chrisih8u]

Why is Timlin still in?

[raven56706]

Lets go Timlin......

[FantasticVSDoom]

Why is Timlin still in?
Waiting for Arod or Jeter to take him deep...Sorry Im pissed and I had to do it.

[Mad Dawg]

Great play by McCarty. 1 run on not a single fucking hit.

Just swing nine times and get the fuck out of here.

[raven56706]

rotfl

keep timlin in

[Mad Dawg]

Funny. Rivera's on, but Torre has two guys already warming in the pen.

[chrisih8u]

leadoff walk :up:

[SpaceBoy]

Man the red sox look terrible, worse then ever in fundamentals.. Hey as long as the outcome come playoffs is the same, I'm down with it.

I wouldn't be all that thrilled it I was a yanks fan, they win two games, which the red sox did everything wrong, barely..

I agree, I try to tell myself they hit Giambi on purpose since he used roids, and cheated, but I"m pretty sure it's more to do with him leaning into pitches.. Oh well a guy could dream.. :( I would love to see other staffs punish him with bean balls.. to make up for all those false numbers he put up.

[welb25]

Leadoff walk. He will blow this save.

[wabio]

At least there's no Dave Roberts! :mad:

[Mad Dawg]

I <strike>don't</strike> completely agree with hitting Bellhorn here.

:D

[chrisih8u]

I don't agree with hitting Bellhorn here.


:lol: Neither did I.

[raven56706]

man... rivera... what is wrong with you.... mr automatic has turned into Mr automatic hit

[huh?]

i feel a double play coming.....

[SpaceBoy]

I could see a triple play for how it's been today for the sox. ha

[chrisih8u]

Bases loaded and nobody out. GET A RUN IN!!

[welb25]

It's been a long time since the Yanks have had to worry about their closer. Now is the time to start.

[El Scorcho]

time for the good ol pop-up, DP combo

[SpaceBoy]

D@M I gotta run to a meeting at 4.. Go Sox!

[Deftones]

Jesus. If they can't get a run in here, something is seriously wrong w/ the team.

I wish I had MLB Gameday audio right now. :(

[chrisih8u]

C'mon Manny!!

[raven56706]

Mariano.... time to take steriods

[Deftones]

:lol: Trot, you son of a bitch.

[Deftones]

Good guy to have up there right now. Mr. Clutch.

[FantasticVSDoom]

Time to get into the season Manny...

[Mad Dawg]

No DP please.

[raven56706]

come on mariano

[Mad Dawg]

YES!!! A-Rod blows it!!

[chrisih8u]

:banana: Tie game. Good D, you pansy ass bitch!!

[Deftones]

damn ESPN stat tracker for being slow!!!!!

[Jobronie]

Love it!

Slappy!!!

[chrisih8u]

Another blown save rotfl

[Deftones]

:banana: Tie game. Good D, you pansy ass bitch!!

:lol:

[Mad Dawg]

Sox lead!

[FantasticVSDoom]

:up:...Gonna be one of those years.

[raven56706]

great mariano... here comes the guy you hate the most

[huh?]

Gay- Rod... nice one....

[raven56706]

nice...

[welb25]

They still should have won if A-Rod does his job but the whole thing is the leadoff walk. Whether it's this game, the first game at New York at the end of the regular season last year where he walked Trot to lead off the 9th, or game 4 of the ALCS. Leadoff walks.

[Mad Dawg]

Bases loaded again. Does Tek hit for Edgar?

EDGAR!! I've always known!!

Sox control the game!

[chrisih8u]

C'mon Edgar.

[raven56706]

Good one mariano... a walk will seal the deal :hscratch:

[welb25]

have they hit a ball hard?

[chrisih8u]

Edgar!!! :banana:

[Deftones]

Jesus. I think I get faster updates here than on ESPN Stat tracker.

Nice to see Rivera blow his 6th save against the Sox in the past year and a bit. :lol:

[Mad Dawg]

Edgar!!! :banana:

Don't you love that fuckin' guy?

[El Scorcho]

Man now that is a great offseason pickup. GO EDGAR!

[chrisih8u]

Don't you love that fuckin' guy?


Of course. Why wouldnt I? :lol:

[raven56706]

alright... 2-1

mariano... let them score some more to teach you a lesson

[Deftones]

Bahahahaha, the Yankees have imploded.

[wabio]

I guess Torre didn't get the fucking memo! DON'T USE MO AGAINST BOSTON!!!! :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

[Mad Dawg]

Rivera loads them again.

[raven56706]

I am a diehard yankee fan but a nice picture would be of mariano rivera and owned byt the red sox....

[El Scorcho]

:lol:

You know he's off when he's walking Mirabelli :lol:

[huh?]

Don't you love that fuckin' guy?


He's awesome!!!!!!

[welb25]

you might be watching the career of one of the best closers ever coming unraveled.

[raven56706]

what sucks worse is that new york fans at the stadium have to sit there and watch this

[Mad Dawg]

That was a rough send-off. I hope he doesn't get depressed and have 2 peas for dinner tonight.

[raven56706]

take a picture because that is historic.....


Mariano get your freaking act together

[chrisih8u]

Great game. Jeter getting hit in the head, A-Rod commiting a key error, and MO walking back to the dugout in disgrace.

[Deftones]

Nothing nicer to see than Rivera getting yanked in the 9th inning. :lol:

[Mad Dawg]

:up: 4 run lead. Thanks Felix/Jorge.

[El Scorcho]

For those keeping track:

Mariano Rivera:

1.2 IP, 1 W, 2 BS, 1 HR, 5H, 3 ER, 2 BB, 16.50 ERA. :lol:

[raven56706]

i wonder if he will ever bring that era down

[FantasticVSDoom]

Christ, I go to the bathroom and look what happens. Ill spend the whole season in the pisser if thats what it takes.

[Mad Dawg]

For those keeping track:

Mariano Rivera:

1.2 IP, 1 W, 2 BS, 1 HR, 5H, 3 ER, 2 BB, 16.50 ERA. :lol:


Like I said yesterday. I'll take occasional walk-off HRs off of Foulke when I know that the Sox own Rivera.

[B.A.]

I've still got that Authentic Renteria Away jersey for sale if anybody's interested.

:D

[TheNightFlier]

:lol:

I'm watching it on YES. The announcers whining about the fans booing Rivera is great.

[welb25]

Great game. Jeter getting hit in the head, A-Rod commiting a key error, and MO walking back to the dugout in disgrace.
You like to see guys getting hit in the head?

[Mad Dawg]

I've still got that Authentic Renteria Away jersey for sale if anybody's interested.

:D

I'll give you 6 thousand dollars.

[B.A.]

I'll give you 6 thousand dollars.Done. By the way - shipping is free.

[chrisih8u]

Depends on the guy.

[raven56706]

oh well... this is going to be a long season

[El Scorcho]

:lol:

I love hearing the fans already turning on the guy that's primarily responsible for most of their world series titles.

[welb25]

Christ, that's nothing to fuck around with. That's dangerous. I would like nothing more than to see Bonds plunked but nowhere near the head.

[Aphex Twin]

If the Yankees need a new closer, they could still sign Kerry Ligtenberg.

[Y2K Falcon]

Rivera is on pace for 108 blown saves this year. -eek-

[El Scorcho]

I'm sure John Rocker is available somewhere. He loves NY.

[FantasticVSDoom]

Ok, Foulke doesnt need to do another Rivera Impersonation...

[Mad Dawg]

Done. By the way - shipping is free.

http://img112.exs.cx/img112/34/bluth5dq.jpg

I've made a terrible mistake.

[TheNightFlier]

If the Yankees need a new closer, they could still sign Kerry Ligtenberg.

:lol:

Forget that, how about a little crosstown deal...Looper for Rivera ;)

[Deftones]

http://img112.exs.cx/img112/34/bluth5dq.jpg

I've made a terrible mistake.

:lol:

[raven56706]

man. If we come back, that would be historic but the order doesnt show much promise

[Mad Dawg]

Throw strikes, Foulke.

[raven56706]

beltran would have been good right about now

[Y2K Falcon]

Game ovah.





THUUUUUUUUUUUUHHHHHHHHH Yankees lose.
:banana:


Lakers mathematically out of it, two blown Mo SVs, NCAA Finals, Masters tomorrow. What a good week!

[chrisih8u]

Sox win!! :up:

Yanks lose!! :up::up:

[Mad Dawg]

:up: Sox win. Rivera and A-Rod? Not so much.

[raven56706]

mariano.... you need steriods fast.... go give alex dirty sanchez a call

[FantasticVSDoom]

:up: First one for the good guys!!

[welb25]

Yikes. Nice implosion there. I would have taken 2 out of 3 before the series but not losing one of them that way.

[SpaceBoy]

Although losing 2 out of 3 stinks.

I love the looks of owning Mariano, and knowing Pavano got hit pretty well..

Once the staffs get lined up with Schilling 1, I think the sox will be where they need to be.

Then again it's only 3 games in so what do I know. ;)

[chileorgullo]

Hopefully the Sox bats wake up this afternoon.

That, or Rivera pitches again.

time machine'd?

[Deftones]

Yeah, seeing the Rivera continue to blow saves against the Sox bodes really well for the team this season. :up:

[B.A.]

http://img112.exs.cx/img112/34/bluth5dq.jpg

I've made a terrible mistake.:lol:

No - it was the bargain of a lifetime.

[Rockmjd23]

:banana: Finally something went our way

[welb25]

Well, time for the Orioles now.

[nevermind]

Renteria -ohbfrank-


Renteria :banana:

A-Rod: :up:



Glad to see them pull out a W in a game they defenitely should have won.




White Sox just got back to back HRs to tie in the bottom of the 9th 3-3

[Jobronie]

On the YES postgame show: Torre getting GRILLED about Mariano and the Red Sox....:)

[Mad Dawg]

:lol: I hope no one has Bob Wickman on their fantasy roster. Came in up 3-0, allows a 2-run blast to Konerko followed by a solo shot to Dye. Oops!

Next a double to put the winning run on 2nd with no one out.

maybe the Sox are just his daddy.

[welb25]

:lol:

I love hearing the fans already turning on the guy that's primarily responsible for most of their world series titles.

Very true. But he also blew game 7 of the 01 Series and then everyone knows about his act in game 4 of the ALCS last year with the leadoff walk. The Yanks got no big hits after game 4 last year but if he does his job that's an easy sweep. I think what Mo is hearing now is all of that combined coming down on him.

[nevermind]

Wickman with the E :lol:


Game over. Was he trying to get the worst relief appearance of the day?

[chrisih8u]

Jeter is going to the hospital for ringing in his ears.

[Mad Dawg]

Damn you are quick on the edit :). I was just gonna add the double :).

What can I say? I fuck up a lot.

Wickman is like Rivera and A-Rod all rolled into one. White Sox win.

[welb25]

Jeter is going to the hospital for ringing in his ears.
Probably a mild concussion.

[nevermind]

Wickman is like Rivera and A-Rod all rolled into one. White Sox win.


rotfl

[Mad Dawg]

It would be cool if Jeter and Francona were in the same hospital room.

Tito: Great game, Derek. Not good for my heart, though.
Jeter: What?
Tito: Forget it.
Jeter: Would you answer that damn phone?

[Mad Dawg]

Pettitte has a quick first. His velocity is down, but he threw good pitches. Hopefully his elbow won't go into the toilet for a few games.

[welb25]

It would be cool if Jeter and Francona were in the same hospital room.

Tito: Great game, Derek. Not good for my heart, though.
Jeter: What?
Tito: Forget it.
Jeter: Would you answer that damn phone?
Yeah, what's the deal with that? I heard the end of a conversation on T.V. about a history with Francona with something like this. Is it his heart? Isn't he only like 45 years old?

[Dabaomb]

Well the Yankees game sucked :mad:

[welb25]

Well the Yankees game sucked :mad:

Yes it did. But hey, they still got 2 out of 3. They just got it in about the worst way possible.

[Mad Dawg]

Wow. Houston has one weak ass line-up. Morgan Ensberg cleaning up is never a good sign.

[ChiTownAbs, Inc]

just came home from the white sox game. can't believe the indians gave that game up.

[Mad Dawg]

I know I'm the only one watching the DRays/Blue Jays game on MLB TV, but this is bizarre. The broadcast seems to be audio from the radio feed, but video from the stadium feed. They keep showing graphics from the scoreboard (a full 10 seconds of "Let's Go Rays!"), and they played an advertisment for a shop near the 3rd base food court. :lol: Very top notch.

:lol: I've only seen one freeze for about 1 second or two on this game. I've only seen it buffer once or twice in all of the games I watched yesterday.

However, I would like some nachos, so I think the scoreboard is affecting me.
