ok I'll keep you posted for said oddities. BTW: do you have an AIM name? If so PM it.

I guess the game is still on schedule. Has it been pushed back because of rain?

Is anyone watching the game on @ http://msn.foxsports.com/story/3085058 on diamond cam?? It's a very unique perspective and there are no commercials (just live feeds of the homeplate area).

AD, you missed a put out at home from Manny, and Ortiz throw out Suppan returning to 3rd (Suppan should have scored)...

edit: Oh, and Nixon slipped in the swamp in the right field/warning track... fell right on his ass, which usually isn't good for a guy with back problems...

Pedro was a fucking hero tonight. What pitching. No offense Cardinal fans, but the crowd did absolutely NOTHING to get your team back in the game tonight. I wouldn't exactly call them "the best fans in baseball."

Is there a sweep in the making or what...? I love the ball the Sox are playing now....my long dead grandfather would be proud of them...he was a die-hard Sox fan...he did not want to pee during a game, so he wouldn't miss anything...just amazing...


GO SOX...

...it'd be funny if the Cards win the next 4 games (poetic justice, in a sense).

You know what? I wouldn't be mad if the Cards lost the series, even a sweep. The Red Sox aren't beating the Cards, the Cards are beating the Cards.

Funny that's the same thing the Rams said before they had their asses handed to them in SB 36. Must be a St. Louis thing.

I don't think that's true, and even LaRussa hinted at that himself last night after the game. Sure, they missed a run last night, but that wouldn't have been the difference. They just ran into a couple of the game's best starting pitchers, and those pitchers were clearly on a mission and weren't going to be stopped. The Sox led the AL in runs scored and the majority of the team hit a hot streak in game 4 of the ALCS and hasn't let up yet. The Red Sox are beating the piss out of the Cards right now and there isn't anything the Cards can do about it. The sox are on a mission. They're all locked in and nothing is going to stop them. The Cards are good, I mean they won 100+ games (against NL teams, granted ) but the Sox will not be denied.

The cards are being shut down by awesome pitching.

I would say its the fact that the Cards arent scoring as many runs as the sox that is hurting them and not allowing them to win. It also hurts when their pitching gives up more runs than their offense can score that hurts them.


doomass!

They fell essentially silent after Manny's HR though.

Yes, and my guess is that the team that overcame that deficit wouldn't fuck themselves the way the pinstriped team did.

How do you like having your team being the biggest choke in Baseball history? Doesn't it feel shitty?

But the team on the ropes in that series didn't send Marquis to the mound to pitch batting practice in Game 4.

This is great! Once BoSox wins this series, it would assure Chicago of having a monopoly on baseball misery (please see White Sox and Cubs).

No it does not. Because the yankees have just that, a history. We can afford to choke like that whereas you don't.
