Guest Smell the ratings!!! Report post Posted October 6, 2003 Atlanta more or less sold thier home-field advantage to the Cubs anyway. For what it's worth, I think tommorow's game will be about offense, not pitching, and so I think the Sox will win. Pedro and Zito are both working on short rest and will probably be out early regardless of how they fare. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vern Gagne 0 Report post Posted October 6, 2003 Pedro's not working on short rest. If the A's and Red Sox were both smart they would of sent Martinez and Zito back to Oakland before the rest of the team. Whoever wins will have a big disadvantage against New York. The Yankees rotation is rested, and the A's will have to start their 4ths starter. And, Lowe who's hasn't been a great road pitcher will have to start in Yankee stadium.

Ted the Poster 0 Report post Posted October 6, 2003 I'm a Braves fan, but ever since their last World Series win they have managed to pretty consistently make it to the playoffs and then choke in a deciding game. It's almost like a routine nowadays. They don't get squashed 3-1 or 4-0; they tie the series and fucking choke. Wood pitched an awesome game while our pitcher allowed two runs in the first inning, just like in the previous game. Having said that, I have respect for the Cubs and will root for them. But if it comes down to Cubs-BoSox in the World Series, my views will have to change, mainly because I have family in "Bahstan". Also, Sosa's bat breaking was fucking awesome. Everyone at the resturaunt I was in, even the Cubs fans, laughed hysterically and were yelling "check his bat!" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hogan Made Wrestling 0 Report post Posted October 6, 2003 Unless the Yankees fuck up royally they should win the World Series. You know, every time I see Derek Jeter make a wicked play in the playoffs like he did today, I shake my head more and more over all this "Jeter is overrated" stuff. A-Rod, Nomar, and Tejada can pump out all the regular season numbers they want, but when it's all said and done Jeter is the guy wearing the rings, and I don't think this year will be any different.

JangoFett4Hire 0 Report post Posted October 6, 2003 Based on thirdhand information, yes he is. SF Chronicle- Boston -- If the A's advance to the American League Championship Series, they might be missing two-thirds of the Big Three. Tim Hudson, Oakland's best pitcher all season, strained his left oblique (side) muscle and left Sunday's game after just one inning. He is scheduled for an MRI exam today in Oakland, and it was unclear when he would be able to pitch again. Hudson might wind up joining All-Star Mark Mulder on the sideline. Mulder is still unavailable because of a stress fracture in his right femur. "I felt a little tweak on the last pitch to (Todd) Walker to end the (first inning), but I didn't think about it,'' Hudson said. "Then on my warm-ups the next inning, I threw a couple nice and easy, and it grabbed a little. I tried to let one go, and I knew I wouldn't be able to do it.'' Hudson, dismayed, sat on the bench, head in his hands, for the remainder of the inning. Three sources suggested Sunday that Hudson's injury might have stemmed from an alleged altercation on Friday night at Q, a Boston nightspot. According to a security guard and a member of the bar staff, Hudson got into a skirmish with a Red Sox fan and threw several punches, including one that clipped a bartender. "It was a big melee. He was throwing haymakers,'' said the security guard, who spoke on the condition his name not be used. "Honest to God, he's 160 pounds and it took eight big guys to hold him back,'' the staff member said of Hudson. "It was five minutes of mayhem.'' Hudson was unavailable for comment about the alleged incident on Sunday night, and the manager of Q, Noel Gentelles, strongly denied that any clash had taken place. "Tim and Barry (Zito) were both here, and they couldn't have been nicer,'' Gentelles said. "Barry even played with the band. There was no altercation.'' Hudson's early departure was a stunner for his teammates, who had to absorb the loss of Mulder in the same city less than two months earlier. Mulder exited a game at Fenway with leg pain after just three innings on Aug. 19 and hasn't pitched since then. "That's deflating,'' reliever Steve Sparks said of Hudson's injury. "But it's a playoff series -- you don't have time to change your focus from the task at hand.'' According to trainer Larry Davis, Hudson's injury is near the same area where he had a problem during the Division Series against Minnesota last year, a problem above the hip that first appeared, Hudson said, before his final 2002 regular-season start. "It's in the same area, but I don't think it's the same thing,'' Davis said. "It's a little higher up, more his oblique muscle.'' As he did in last year's Division Series, Hudson was working on short rest on Sunday. He threw just nine pitches in retiring the side in the first. The injury is a common one for hitters, who often strain obliques on big swings. It might be easier for a pitcher to rehabilitate such an injury, but hitters are brought along slowly because of the risk of aggravating the strain on check swings. Catcher Ramon Hernandez was a late scratch because of back spasms, which he said were the result of a swing in his final at-bat on Saturday night. The All-Star said he was feeling better Sunday afternoon and expects to play today. E-mail Susan Slusser at [email protected] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bored 0 Report post Posted October 6, 2003 Since when is the San Francisco Chronicle part of the Boston media? Okay your a moron. They were reporting rumors started by the Boston media and then report a quote saying there was no brawl. Hey but if Red Sox fans said it happened it must be true! Hey you know I heard a rumor when the Red Sox played the A's earlier in the year that some Red Sox went to a nightclub in the Castro district in San Francisco and Kevin Millar was seen in a bathroom stall giving it to Todd Walker up the ass while yelling "COWBOY UP!" So that's where it came from. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Um dude it the rumors were started a local Boston t.v. station. The Chronicle also owns part of the San Francisco Giants and has never been known for exactly being fair to the A's. No other Bay Area paper reported the story and again the story itself notes a quote that there was no incident. Oh and Cowboy Up has always sounded very queer.
