Dear Baseball Gods.......

Guys, I don't ask for much here as our Red Sox take on the Rocky Mountain Oysters but allow me the following indulgence......

Please do not let Julio Lugo showboat --- he thinks he's good at it but he really sucks at it usually resulting in an error or a sh!tty at bat

Please do not allow Curt Shilling to fvckup his Primo-Time Showcase opportunity to get a decent career-ending contract somewheres after what he has meant to Boston baseball

Please lift the burden of carrying the team off the bum knee of David Ortiz

Please give JD Drew his 100-RBI style stroke back before I have a stroke watching those girlie-wavy things he fashions at times during his ABs

and last but by no means least, should you Men deem it that the Red Sox win the '07 WS and even though there are many here who don't think she is hawt, please make Tina Cervasio change into a nice white cotton turtleneck without bra before she makes her way to the champagne & beer soaked clubhouse --- I'll have the DVR fired up

Crap guys... It's going to rain. A lot. This could be a horrible waste of Josh Beckett if they can't make this an official game!

[groganfan]

let's go sox! i'm pumped!

[NEM]

Great video opening by FOX. Lots of old series memories. Brought some tears to my eyes along with the pics from Outside Fenway. Reminded me of the days that I remember, and havent been a part of for 19 years, being here in Arizona.

Then, it all got ruined when the female reporter began talking. Sorry, thats my age speaking, cant handle female voices in the world of sports, except WNBA, of course.

Anyway, its not important, on with the game.

[groganfan]

foxsports sounds like they're shoving the rockies down my throat.

[NEM]

Crap guys... It's going to rain. A lot. This could be a horrible waste of Josh Beckett if they can't make this an official game!
That worries me because they will o nly have two options, to play the game to a nine inning conclusion, no matter how heavy it rains, or, call it after five innings, and that could turn out to be a negative for the Sox.

Thats part of the problem with all this night world series games. The good old days was when they played them in the afternoon, warmer, and a chance to play later in the day if the weather was bad. TV controls the games now. What a pity.

I went to every game in 67, all in the daytime, and they were great, except we lost in game 7.

john williams made the national anthem sound like star wars.

And that's bad how?

[NEM]

Finally, the National Anthem, performed in the manner in which it is supposed to be played, by John Williams conducting the world's greatest orchestra, the Boston Pops.

One of my pet peeves has always been the manner in which our National Anthem is jazzed up by recording stars, etc...

TONIGHT, THANK YOU JOHN WILLIAMS (Guest Maestro for tonight) AND THE BOSTON POPS....

It's true it gives you a bigger window, but a lot of fans would be screwed if it was played during the day.

Both time slots have their pros and cons I guess.

The next Fenway Park better have a retractable roof :)

Ohhhh, it's hard to tell emotion from a message board...no worries. That national anthem kicked major ass!

Better for it to rain niow, than after 3 innings.

Most real fans dont get to go, anyway. The seats are sold to the rich and famous, and the wealthy and sushi crowd. The World Series should still be played in the daytime. Those that want to go, if they can get tickets, willfind a way.

I'm talking about the millions of people that watch it on TV and work during the day. Hard to watch a day game if you have to work. Skipping work for one game like the Superbowl is one thing, but a possible 7 game series is a lot harder :(

sushi's good. nice place to meet chicks is at a sushi bar. :D

Thats what im saying. Its better to just call the game now, than to try to play through a downpour, or worse, call the game after 2 or 3 innings and waste a Beckett start. I want to see a game as much as the next guy, but what i REALLY want to see is the Sox hoisting the trophy.

And yet another reason why they need to shorten the season and play these games earlier in October.

This will be the coldest, and possibly the wettest and/or snowiest on record.

http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2347-MLB-How_to_Warm_Up_the_World_Series-220907

And, there is a question that needs to be answered. What will come first, a 7th game, if necessary, or Thanksgiving?

When the series was played in the day, those that wanted to watch it on TV, or listen of the radio before TV, found a way.

And, I am willing to bet that, in Boston and Denver, all offices will have TV's going during the series.

Oh on Mike and Mike this morning, they said Beckett is 5-2 in his career in the postseason.

In his 2 losses, he threw something like 14+ innings, given up 3 ER, and something like 6 or 8 hits,combined. In the LOSSES.

c'mon beckett don't walk this guy.

When I was younger, they played doubleheaders on almost every Sunday (1 admission price) and if they did that again, they could easily cut 2 weeks off of the length of the season. And cut out the interleague games and add a few more in division games, and they could finish a lot earlier, and a lot warmer.

MLB needs to consider a major rule changee for the post season regarding the number of innings it takes to be an "official" game.

The 5 inning rule can be a factor in determining winners. I think that there should be no 5 inning rule and that a game must go 9, even if they have to finish it the next day.

[pookie]

Stay positive!


Trying... But I'm pretty positive it's going to rain... Hard. I hope the baseball gods can affect mother nature and make that massive blob of moderate to heavy - steady rain go away.

Now it's 2-0!!! It better not get called.

+ What is the ONE you opened, a keg? :blink::blink:


nah i just dont drink all that much. And i forgot to go to the store today

[groganfan]

nice catch by the rook.

[NEM]

That's two 3-0 counts that Beckett came back on.

[groganfan]

i don't think this game will be called.

[NEM]

Manny always makes things interesting......

[groganfan]

nice catch manny! that was scary!

[NEM]

i don't think this game will be called.

I don't think so either, unless the field turns into a tributary of the Charles River.

[southcarolina]

yay!

[oldskool138]

3 up 3 down!

C'mon offense!

[oldskool138]

I don't think so either, unless the field turns into a tributary of the Charles River.

They put in new drainage after the 2005 season. The dugouts don't get flooded like they used to.

[groganfan]

c'mon capitan!

[pookie]

They put in new drainage after the 2005 season. The dugouts don't get flooded like they used to.

If the rain stays at this pace, they SHOULD get at least an official game in....

38 pitches for Beckett thru 3.... quite nice.

[NEM]

This kid is throwing almost all breaking stuff. Gotta move up in the box on him.

[southcarolina]

Say what you want but Tina Cervasio is prettier than Chris Meyers

[groganfan]

you can always count on drew to ground out.

[pookie]

you can always count on drew to ground out.

Or hit a grand slam.

[NEM]

His pitches are barely hitting 70MPH, some under 70. Gotta move way up on him.

[NEM]

Awesome bunt

[oldskool138]

Bunt base hit for Lugo!

C'mon rook!

[groganfan]

nice bunt

[#1Patsfan_chica]

Bunt single for Lugo.

[NEM]

Damn, I swear that is a balk motion.

[groganfan]

Or hit a grand slam.
there's no in between with this guy. :)

[NEM]

That is as close to a balk as can be.

[groganfan]

who needs a spit ball when you got rain?

[groganfan]

beckett needs to stop giving up doubles.

[NEM]

They seem to be hitting the wall quite a bit.

[NEM]

beckett needs to stop giving up doubles.

Well, at least they are not triples, or dingers.

[NEM]

Blow it by him.

[NEM]

That pitch came back in over the plate

[NEM]

Got him on a breaker.

[NEM]

Pitchin' in this kind of slop has got to be really tough on these guys.

[groganfan]

nice curve right there. fooled him. get the next guy please.

[NEM]

15 outs to go.

3 more and it's an official game.

[groganfan]

nasty stuff! 7 Ks thus far!

[NEM]

What is his pitch count through 4?

[NEM]

BTW, seems like a small group in here tonight. WOnder why?

[groganfan]

What is his pitch count through 4?

51 according to mlb.com.

[NEM]

Just wondering, if a bunch of us have a messenger with video, we could have a video get together while watching tomorrow.

[jonathan]

What is his pitch count through 4?

51 I think

[groganfan]

BTW, seems like a small group in here tonight. WOnder why? watching the game at a club maybe? :shrug_n2:

[NEM]

51 according to mlb.com.

Thanks.... That equates to around 115 for 9

[3 Point Stan]

I love the fans with the placards in the stands:

B-E-C-K-K-K->|->|-K-K-E-T

[groganfan]

let's go ortiz! time for the sleeping giant to wake up!

[pookie]

BTW, seems like a small group in here tonight. WOnder why?

I'm betting that folks are gathering with friends and whatnot to watch together.....

[NEM]

let's go ortiz! time for the sleeping giant to wake up!

He's got 2 hits tonight.

[groganfan]

double big papi! let's to manny!

[NEM]

I'm betting that folks are gathering with friends and whatnot to watch together.....

Yeah, they are not like us in here, we aint got no friends. :lol:

[groganfan]

He's got 2 hits tonight.
i know i want a homer. :smiley_towel:

[NEM]

i know i want a homer. :smiley_towel:

I'm a homer. :lol:

[NEM]

Manny has shown a lot of patience tonight.

[NEM]

David Ortiz looks real funny when taking off on the 3-2 count.

[groganfan]

should have swung when the count was 3-1.

[groganfan]

these people act like ortiz has never played 1st base.

[NEM]

Really nice slide by Manny into 2nd.

[southcarolina]

manny ran hard !!!! Praise him you hypocritical f*ck!!!!

[NEM]

these people act like ortiz has never played 1st base.

Yeah,but he is hurting. I agree, keep him as a pinch hitter, if needed.

[jonathan]

What is Manny's new infatuation with taking his helmet off while running the bases? Is it for photo opps?

Just noticed it ever since his walk-off.

[NEM]

Tek a grand salami?????

[NEM]

manny ran hard !!!! Praise him you hypocritical f*ck!!!!

No, I was serious. It was a perfect slide and bounced right up. If I was teaching kids how to slide, that was a demonstration slide,.

I think it flops around alot because of his hair/skullcap. it probably isnt comfortable or its hard to see or something

[southcarolina]

No, I was serious. It was a perfect slide and bounced right up. If I was teaching kids how to slide, that was a demonstration slide,.



LOL i wasnt talking to you i was talking to Joe Buck Sorry :)

[groganfan]

let's go tek!

[southcarolina]

jason varitek got a hit with the bases loaded?

[#1Patsfan_chica]

2 run double. 6-1 SOX!!!

[groganfan]

dammit drew hit the ball!

[NEM]

3 outs in the top of the fifth and let it rain like never before.

[groganfan]

rally killer jd drew.

[3 Point Stan]

Am I correct in that they've scored 4 runs with 2 outs?

[jonathan]

rally killer jd drew.

Yeah, he either strikes out, hits into a DP, or
hits a Grand Slam.

(oh, that was only once? :icon_toil )

[3 Point Stan]

Hey, Drew-pee had a big hit tonight.

[NEM]

What a wicked pitch.

[groganfan]

kkkkkkkk :d

[NEM]

Josh is getting stronger

[NEM]

Ump missed that one

[NEM]

And missed that one too.

[NEM]

Gift walk from the HP ump.

[groganfan]

ump sucks

[pookie]

Ladies and gentlemen... Cy Beckett is getting SQUEEEEEZED.

[NEM]

This frickin ump is trying to keep the game close

[groganfan]

it's bud's fault!

[NEM]

This is a good case how an umpire can control the flow of a game, and not appear to be favoring the home team's pitcher. On that walk, Josh got totally screwed on two pitches.

[NEM]

It's an official game.
