October 20, 2007 Carmona vs Shilling game 6 ALCS

"There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle." ~Albert Einstein

So I ask the Mr. Francona led Red Sox a very simple question. What’s it going to be?

Are you going to step forward and prove to the rest of the sports world you can make your own Destiny?

Or

Are you going to sit back and hope a miracle comes to you?

I can’t answer that, only the collection of warriors in that club house can.


Mr. Shilling it is up to you tonight to lead you band of misfits out into battle, a battle that will no doubt be a difficult one but at the same time a very winnable one. I, as a fan, believe in the collection of players being presented to lead this charge onto the Diamond

"Many of life's failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up." ~Thomas Edison

And finally, some southcarolina family mojo:

This morning, my 8 yr olds team was in a tough back and forth 0-0 game, late in the fourth quarter. The other team kicked the ball out for a corner kick for us. I sent my son, nicknamed "The Foot" to take the kick. He lofted a kick high over the defense, about 25 yards in the air, to his teammate who was for the very first time all season listening to what i was telling him and covering the back post. The ball came down like a laser guided smart bomb from a B52, right to the teammate, who angled his body perfectly and chested the ball out of the air and into the goal, scoring the game winner with just a minute or so left in the game.

It was truly a thing of utter beauty.

Then in the later game, my 11 yr olds team beat the previously first place team 3-0, totally dominating play for the entire game. The only allowed 2 shots on goal the entire game. This too was an hour long thing of beauty.


The bottom line is, the southcarolina family is on a roll. This is Mikiemod's thread. It is not my lot in life to be a thread starter. But i have huge mojo. HUGE. And this is but a sampling. Prepare. Win. There's no other choice. I wont allow it.

Oh i almost forgot, Fausto Carmona Anti-Mojo:

May 30, 2007 from The Rumor Mill

ARod isn't the only married ballplayer cavorting around town with a women who is not his wife (Kudos to the NY Post for the "Stray-Rod" headline). A very reliable source has informed SYHD that Red Sox catcher Jason Varitek was seen canoodling with America's favorite sideline reporter Erin Andrews last week at the W Hotel when the Sox were in for their series against the Yankees. Tek and Andrews were getting cozy at the bar and later were seen entering an elevator together.

I thought I heard on the radio that he is starting instead of Coco.

[Patriots4ever]

You thought right. He is batting 8th in place of Cuckoo.

[Mikiemo83]

Solid inning He looks like the Schill of old. Now if we can get him a few early runs, it should psych him even more.

[NEM]

Go to mlb.com and use gameday. Its as close as you can get if no tv or radio.

[NEM]

That should give Schill even more of an adrenaline flow

[southcarolina]

I actually shouted on that HR and i never do that

[oldskool138]

Fausto is on the ropes!!!

LOL!

Here comes the Rook!

[Mark_Henderson]

That makes up for A LOT. True to the book on Carmona having problems with lefties and we've got his pitch count in the 30's in the 1st inning.

[NEM]

I actually shouted on that HR and i never do that

I jumped so friggin high i almost had another heart attack.

[JD10367]

You know, they were talking on the radio today about how Terry "Fran-coma"'s greatest weakness--stubbornly sticking with guys--is also his greatest strength, and they mentioned how badly some of the guys in '04 were doing (like Mark Belhorn) and how Francona stuck with them.

Now, having said that... do we dare see Eric Gagne tonight, LOLOL?

[NEM]

Is it the 9th inning yet?

[#1Patsfan_chica]

Wow what an inning.

[NEM]

Now, having said that... do we dare see Eric Gagne tonight, LOLOL?

Don't push it. :icon_eyes

Thanks, it was nothing.

Oh, wait... you weren't talking to me.... never mind.

[NEM]

Is this correct. According to gameday, JD is batting .353 for the post season????

[NEM]

Hope it wasnt too long of a wait for Schill to stay warm.

[southcarolina]

Haha Carmona is already unravelling.


A 123 inning here is a dagger in the heart.


Sweep the leg Curt!!!! Sweep the leg!!!!

[oldskool138]

Crap...

4-1 Sox...

[southcarolina]

[NEM]

Martinez Showboatin

[NEM]

Schill is a fly ball pitcher

[southcarolina]

LOL i really do crack me up.



Nice pick Yooks

[oldskool138]

Not too shabby...

HR aside Schilling looks pretty good.

[NEM]

Oh wait...i made this earlier this season:

[pookie]

Damn that shift!!!

[southcarolina]

CRAP!!! Not a good atbat by Papi!!!

He scorched that ball, just right into that goddamn shift.

Its ok though because the offense is awake, and Carmona wont make it past 5 innings.

[NEM]

How many friggin times do I have to tell these guys to lay off the damned first pitch?

[NEM]

1-2, Now blow the high fast ball by this joker

[NEM]

frickin curve ball again and it hung..bottom of the order and he is wasting his pitches.... 1-2 should have blow it past him number 9 hitter, and 1=2 and he gets cute. Blow the frickin ball past him

[NEM]

dont hang one on Hafner

[NEM]

1-2, now blow the high, tight fastball past him

[NEM]

Way to get out of it......

[NEM]

18 outs to go.

[oldskool138]

Tribe doesn't score...

And Manny's up!

[babalu87]

Come on Fausto, lets see it

[NEM]

we could use a couple of runs here.... put the squeeze on the tribe.

[NEM]

NO green lite, we need runners

[NEM]

3-0 pitch to manny,blue sucks again

[NEM]

Manny looks back at HP ump on ball 4...

[NEM]

When JD comes up, he will get the first hand he will have gotten, all season.

[pookie]

Young Fausto throws a lot of balls..

[NEM]

the hook is ready for Fausto

[pookie]

When JD comes up, he will get the first hand he will have gotten, all season.

Sure enough... a nice big hand for Nancy. Can it happen again?

[NEM]

JD, lay off the 1st pitch. Fausto is shaken

[NEM]

Jd For Mvp

[groganfan]

[oldskool138]

Fausto is out of the game!!!

[NEM]

Manny, at least, broke the 12 minute mile on JD's hit.:applause:

[BushyTheBeaver]

Sox showing what they can do when Drew and Pedroia get some hits.

[NEM]

Aerodynamicaly (sp) slowing him down. :high:

[NEM]

Sox showing what they can do when Drew and Pedroia get some hits.
JD is now .389 for post season. Lowell, Tek and Lugo only ones under .300, in tonights lineup.

[BushyTheBeaver]

Lets get another run here.

[NEM]

Lets get another run here. at least one. Doesnt look big, but it sure is.

[BushyTheBeaver]

JD is now .389 for post season. Lowell, Tek and Lugo only ones under .300, in tonights lineup.

Don't forget Coco

[BushyTheBeaver]

Tek moves up the runner

[pookie]

Tek moves lowell up. C'mon, at least a deep fly out here!!!

[NEM]

Chance here for Jacoby. Even on a grounder, he is hard to double if hit to the left side.

[NEM]

Don't forget CocoYeah, I edited my post and added, In Tonites lineup.

[NEM]

Way to go Jacoby

[groganfan]

jacoby!!

[BushyTheBeaver]

Ellisbury!!!

[#1Patsfan_chica]

6-1 Sox!!!

[pookie]

Jacoby, the anti-Coco

[NEM]

Should give lugo the bunt signal

NEVER MIND, AS I TYPED THAT JULIO GOT HIS HIT.....:icon_supe :icon_supe

[pookie]

[BushyTheBeaver]

8-1!!!!!!

[#1Patsfan_chica]

:rolleyes:

[NEM]

[NEM]

You, no 1st pitch hitting please.

[Mikiemo83]

cooking calzones, 2 sausage pepper onion, two pepperoni and jalopena cheese for tomorrow pats and ? game(s)

[NEM]

When Youk misses the pitch, he just looks awful.

[southcarolina]

Imagine if Drew and Lugo did this during the season?!

:rolleyes:

Yeah the RedSox might have finished with the best record in the majors or something :)

[groganfan]

man, crazy game! wow!

[Mikiemo83]

youk way to put your head into the ball path

[oldskool138]

NICE!!!! LOL!!!!

Way to go Youk!!!!

:eeek:
:banana:

10-1 Sox!

[JD10367]

My "Harry Potter" film just started the credits... as people started getting up, I picked up the mic and said, "May I have your attention for this public service announcement... bottom of the third inning, Red Sox 8, Cleveland 1". Everyone in the theater started cheering, LOLOL....

[southcarolina]

The rout is on.


To quote Frank Herbert



The Sleeper has AWAKENED!!!!!!

[#1Patsfan_chica]

That play was too funny.

[NEM]

finally, Youk used his head.

[NEM]

you can never have enough runs in a Fenway Pahk game.

[NEM]

Need more, and more, and more.

[NEM]

Damn it David, lay the hell off of those 1st pitches.

[babalu87]

wow, great game, busy drinking my same beer as last game, wearing my sox clothing as is my whole house, I yelled so loud during JD salami my kids ran in fear.


cooking calzones, 2 sausage pepper onion, two pepperoni and jalopena cheese for tomorrow pats and Sox game

Fixed that for you

[southcarolina]

How can that not be a foul ball?

[NEM]

That Was A Foul Ball It Is The Position Of The Ball In Relation To The Foul Line, Even If The Fielder Touches It The ump bl;ew it.

[Mark_Henderson]

All these wild throws - I think it's fair to say that the Indians are losing their composure.

[NEM]

Now give manny the green 3-0

[Mikiemo83]

Fixed that for you
thanks it was only 6 runs when I posted it

[NEM]

Lowell is way overdue

[pookie]

Your turn Lowell... C'mon boys. Let's put this wayyyyy far out of reach.

[southcarolina]

God this sets the Sox up so great for tomorrows game.....the BP can rest, while the Indians try to grind out outs and burn up their BP

[oldskool138]

All these wild throws - I think it's fair to say that the Indians are losing their composure.

Yup, the Tribe looks lost out there!

I would like to say i agree, but its only the 3rd inning.

[oldskool138]

LOL!

10-1 Sox!

Joe Buck was awsome right there: "You want me to recap that inning?!"

[NEM]

Too long a rest for Schill. Needs to stay warm.

[Mark_Henderson]

God this sets the Sox up so great for tomorrows game.....the BP can rest, while the Indians try to grind out outs and burn up their BP


I was thinking the same thing. Plus, if they need him, they should have Beckett out of the pen for a couple innings tomorrow.

[pookie]

Perez era for this game. 45.00

I think he might need to improve that to remain in MLB.

[NEM]

After a long 1st inning, Martinez led of with a dinger. Now, after another long inning, Martinez leads off again. Schill might have cooled off toomuc. If he gets Martinez, that should warm him up enough.

:banana:

[NEM]

If I was Tito, I would begin warming someone up. Schilling has had too long of a rest.

[BushyTheBeaver]

Need Schill to put in some innings here. Rest our BP while we beat up theirs. A couple of runs given up is ok.

[3 Point Stan]

If I was Tito, I would begin warming someone up. Schilling has had too long of a rest.
Gagne?

[/ducks!]

[NEM]

Gagne?

[/ducks!]


No, not Gagne, the score is too close for him.

[southcarolina]

Gagne?

[/ducks!]


You'd be better off putting ducks out there than Gagne.

[NEM]

I hate when the interview the managers between innings. TV needs to stay the hell out of the dugouts until the innings are over.

[oldskool138]

They have 9 run lead. If Schilling is "cold" he can get warm on the mound. I mean if he gives up a couple of runs it's not a big deal.

KKK-urt!

Okay, maybe he won't give up any runs...

[groganfan]

couple more innings from schill and we should be okay.

[3 Point Stan]

We need 6 innings from Schil tonight but frankly, I'll settle for 5.

[NEM]

Same as in the 2nd inning. Schilling comes in after a long Sox half inning, Martinez gets to him, and Schill gets the next 3 guys, easily. Same thing again, ion the 4th, Martinez leads of with the hit, Schill warms up and gets the next 3, easily.

[NEM]

They have 9 run lead. If Schilling is "cold" he can get warm on the mound. I mean if he gives up a couple of runs it's not a big deal.

KKK-urt!

Okay, maybe he won't give up any runs...

And, that is exactly what he did, but without the runs.

[NEM]

15 outs to go.

[BushyTheBeaver]

Schill is actually pitching a nice game. 4 hits and no walks through 4 innings.

[BushyTheBeaver]

Ellisbury robbed on a sweet catch by Sizemore.

[pookie]

Jacoby robbed on a nice play by Sizeless.

[NEM]

Come on Schill this is the number 9 batter, quit playing with him

[BushyTheBeaver]

Double play. Curt has done everything we needed him to do. From here on out is gravy.

[NEM]

12 outs to go

[NEM]

Another 1st pitch out.....damn it lay off those friggin 1st pitches.

Or, maybe they are trying to keep Schill warm.

[pookie]

Schilling has at LEAST 2 innings left in him. 66 pitches thru 5. Pretty efficient actually.

[NEM]

I think Youk was safe.

[southcarolina]

Indians flashing some leather that inning

[pookie]

With a 9 run lead, I can say this.... That was outstanding defense by the Indians in that inning.

[pookie]

I'm pretty sure I saw Selig drooling there in the box thinking about his ratings for ALCS game 7 in Fenway Park.

[Mikiemo83]

this is Shilling doing what he does with what he got

KKKKK

[NEM]

9 Outs to go

Keep Schill in to start the 7th, and go batter by batter.

[NEM]

With a 9 run lead, I can say this.... That was outstanding defense by the Indians in that inning.

It was AWESOME defense.

[groganfan]

let the schillmeister pitch into the 8th if he can! what the hell?? why not?? 'cause going to need the bullpen tomorrow!

[pookie]

Hate to disagree with Joe Buck, the mensa, but there's no way that was Schilling's last inning. 77 pitches thru 6. Excellent.

[NEM]

No one answered me, Who's the guy sitting with the Blonde, Selig?

[NEM]

let the schillmeister pitch into the 8th if he can! what the hell?? why not?? 'cause going to need the bullpen tomorrow!

Exactly. One batter at a time, but have someone warm.

[jonathan]

77 pitches
52 strikes
25 balls
up 10-1
damn right you leave him in!

[babalu87]

LOL at Buck and some of youse throwing dirt on Schills grave.
You know how hard it is for a pitcher to get into a groove when his team is batting around on the other pitchers? Cant exactly settle into his rockin' chair now can he?
Schill could go 8 tonight and then the Sox have a fully rested pen for game 7.

WIKID HAHD

[3 Point Stan]

Man, this is like the Magic (Outs) Number Thread.

[NEM]

If this game holds, they will be all over that farmboy Westbrook tomorrow.

[PatsDVD]

this is Shilling doing what he does with what he got

KKKKK

What I love about Shill, is that he really has had nothing tonight - but he's getting by on experience and guts (and a 9 run lead helps too.)

I figure he's good for one more inning? Who comes in - Timlin?

[jonathan]

No one answered me, Who's the guy sitting with the Blonde, Selig?
The only blonde I noticed was next to Mark Shapiro.
Selig is the guy with the beaver on his head.
Haven't seen him yet.

[NEM]

77 pitches
52 strikes
25 balls
up 10-1
damn right you leave him in!

Yeah, you leave him in, I leave him in, and all of Sox nation leaves him in, but never put it past Francona to yank him.

[southcarolina]

Schill goes 9. Complete game.

[NEM]

What I love about Shill, is that he really has had nothing tonight - but he's getting by on experience and guts (and a 9 run lead helps too.)

I figure he's good for one more inning? Who comes in - Timlin?

I dont know who comes in, but I know he better not....Gagne, Tavarez, Lopez.

[babalu87]

Now I know what that buzzing is!

There is a guy behind home plate that is very close to the dish microphone. He has one of those gadgets that helps you breath. I am sorry but they have to move him or the microphone.

[NEM]

Dumb question time: Lets say it rains, heavily, in Boston tomorrow and Monday.

Josh will have four days rest. So, do you pitch him in game 7 of this series, or hold him for a possible WS opener?

[pookie]

I dont know who c

omes in, but I know he better not....Gagne, Tavarez, Lopez.

Tavarez is inactive. I hate to say this, but we might see Gagne late in this game if it doesn't get any closer.

Tavarez is not on the roster, he just dresses for the games as a cheerleader

you may see a lopez or Gagne because you won't tomorrow and they need to save arms tonight for tomorrow

If they score another 15 runs I might bring Gagne :bozo: in

Now I know what that buzzing is!

There is a guy behind home plate that is very close to the dish microphone. He has one of those gadgets that helps you breath. I am sorry but they have to move him or the microphone.

Cleveland Mosquitos.

Dumb question time: Lets say it rains, heavily, in Boston tomorrow and Monday.

Josh will have four days rest. So, do you pitch him in game 7 of this series, or hold him for a possible WS opener?

Hell yes, you start Beckett in Game 7!

Edit: Good thing JD Drew got all that silly hitting out of the way early in the game... :-)

[NEM]

Do the Sox hitters look like they are trying to hurry things along?

Beckett goes tomorrow an inning if needed

[3 Point Stan]

If you get to the 8th or 9th with a 9 run lead, I say you absolutely throw Gagne in there for a couple of outs.

Still not enough runs.

If they do that, I wouldnt give him more than 3 batters, and have someone up and warming the moment he steps on the rubber to face the first batter.

I am sure they'd get the pen stirring at the 1st sign of trouble.

It aint raining tomorrow - Dice K is good for 5/6 innings giving up 3/4 runs - Sox bats gotta keep it going and we're onto the WS

IN FENWAY, ARE YOU INSANE?
Talk about needing a Karma thread! :icon_hang :Cuckoo:

The Legend catches that if he takes one more step :(

he hurt his wrist on the wall earlier this year so he is gun shy


dammit 10 to 2

[NEM]

5 of the 6 hits given up by Schilling tonight have been to the leadoff hitter in each of those innings. Obviously he cools off in the duguot.

He should have caught it.

[southcarolina]

Out for a run....we'll take it

I have been called crazy, yes. Most relievers don't give up 9 runs, guys.

How many pitches has Schilling thrown? I'd try to let him go through the 8th, if possible. Then, if we still have an 8 run lead, let Gagne throw the 9th. I don't see why we wouldn't keep everyone else fresh for tomorrow.

[NEM]

6 outs to go, let him start the 8th.

Exactly 90 thru 7 innings. Bring him back!!

I agree on letting Schill start the 8th.

[PatsDVD]

Wow, I think Shill might have one more inning in him. 8 run lead, let him try to go 8.

[Moebius]

Solid start by Schill, Ellsbury seems to have sparked the bottom of the order a bit. Pedroia starting to make good contact. I can dig it.

Oh, believe me. Me too. At this point, my reasoning for even considering Gagne is because I'd love to save the BP for the possibility of needing 6 innings from them tomorrow (worst case) and I would HATE to think someone would be unavailble because they pitched tonight. As far as I'm concerned, the only guy who should be unavailable tomorrow is Curt Schilling. Let the scrubs mop it up tonight if need be.

Gagne has come close. :lol:
