Cheech Tremendous Posted October 17, 2008 Report Posted October 17, 2008 We've been waiting for that David Ortiz for a while. Just think about how far he would have hit it if he had some lineup protection. EDIT: Ok, I'm done picking on Cartman. Let's be friends.
Guest Smues Posted October 17, 2008 Report Posted October 17, 2008 So is this thread still a funeral for the Red Sox?
strummer Posted October 17, 2008 Report Posted October 17, 2008 That was such a terrible AB by Lowrie there. Pitcher on the ropes and he swings at a pitch way out of the zone and flies out to shallow left.
Open the Muggy Gate Posted October 17, 2008 Report Posted October 17, 2008 Dan Wheeler looks like someone shot his dog. In the face. Multiple times.
Brett Favre Posted October 17, 2008 Report Posted October 17, 2008 Joe Maddon? More like Joe Mad-Dumb.
Cheech Tremendous Posted October 17, 2008 Report Posted October 17, 2008 We got ourselves a ballgame folks.
DMann2003 Posted October 17, 2008 Report Posted October 17, 2008 Whatever deal Boston made with the Devil after the 2003 ALCS is paying off dividends for them.
Brett Favre Posted October 17, 2008 Report Posted October 17, 2008 How the hell do you not bring someone in for a guy who looks like a nervous wreck out there?
Bored Posted October 17, 2008 Report Posted October 17, 2008 Joe Maddon? More like Joe Mad-Dumb. amirite?
bob_barron Posted October 17, 2008 Report Posted October 17, 2008 How any football fan can sit through the Super Bowl is beyond me. Huh? Why is a Super Bowl game less interesting because of all the media hype surrounding it? Some Super Bowls live up to the hype, some don't. Just like World Series.
bob_barron Posted October 17, 2008 Report Posted October 17, 2008 Do you have a reading disability? I said he was worthless right now due to the lack of Manny and the injuries. Then I said hopefully he can recover in the offseason and be back to normal or at least close to it next season. I don't care about any studies about protection, when Ortiz says it's not the same then that's what i'm buying thanks. Even if it's just affecting Ortiz Mentally it's still a problem not having Manny there. I'm not saying the team is screwed I just said the Rays are better right now and probably will be in 2009 as well. I'm also not saying that they should have kept Manny because that's ridiculous. So keep calling it my "gimmick" all you want and god forbid I make a post in a bit of frustration after watching my team get embarrassed at home. EDIT: ...and yes in MY opinion Manny was the anchor of that lineup and Ortiz benefited from him greatly, as did everyone else. Ortiz was phenomenal no doubt, but I think without "protection" he gets exposed a bit. Cartman is the reverse jinx
Guest Smues Posted October 17, 2008 Report Posted October 17, 2008 I for one welcome our new Tampa overlords. If the Red Sox win this that picture is going to be all the more appropriate.
Guest Smues Posted October 17, 2008 Report Posted October 17, 2008 Ninth inning and beyond AIM chat if anyone is interested. Or even if they aren't! Room name is: tsmbostonfuneral
Prophet of Mike Zagurski Posted October 17, 2008 Report Posted October 17, 2008 Ninth inning and beyond AIM chat if anyone is interested. Or even if they aren't! Room name is: tsmbostonfuneral I wouldn't count the Sox out yet.
DMann2003 Posted October 17, 2008 Report Posted October 17, 2008 Un-Believable They'll be out in force in Tampa, that's for sure.
naiwf Posted October 17, 2008 Report Posted October 17, 2008 I think I just heard a whole bunch of sphincters tightening in Tampa. If the Sox win game 6 they'll take the series in the same fashion of the 0-3 comeback against the Yankees.
Open the Muggy Gate Posted October 17, 2008 Report Posted October 17, 2008 If they do this every year, I'm gonna die from a heart attack at 27.
Guest Smues Posted October 17, 2008 Report Posted October 17, 2008 Ninth inning and beyond AIM chat if anyone is interested. Or even if they aren't! Room name is: tsmbostonfuneral I wouldn't count the Sox out yet. THAT'S THE JOKE
Bruiser Chong Posted October 17, 2008 Report Posted October 17, 2008 I still think the Rays win the series, but what a deflating feeling that must be for them. Between playing it safe on that hit that scored the first Boston run, the awful throw home trying to gun down the tying run, and that last play, Gabe Gross nearly single-handily lost this for the Rays.
fairtoflair7 Posted October 17, 2008 Report Posted October 17, 2008 I'm disgusted. How the hell does Maddon not put in Perez or Baldelli who are much better right fielders especially after that throw in the 8th?? *Edit* After watching Pedroia knock that first run in, I'm even more disgusted he didn't put a better right fielder in. That ball should have been caught as well.
Slayer Posted October 17, 2008 Report Posted October 17, 2008 Boston really is the new New York... you want to see them lose but no matter how down they seem, if you don't keep stomping on their head until they're dead they're gonna keep coming back on you Unfortunately I believe this may be what Bill Simmons would refer to as a "Dead Man Walking" loss
