The Official 2005 Boston Red Sox Thread

[Wolfman]

It\'s now the eighth inning of the first game of 2005.  The score is 8-1 Yankees and worsening. Instead of watching the exciting finish I have departed for home.

Everything is back to normal.

Yankees magic number = 161 to clinch a tie.

Wait \'till next year.

I\'m just glad you Sox fans have your own thread to cry your sorrows away when you realize last year was a fluke

Hey, if it didn\'t take five tries to beat us once, maybe you would have won the World Series last year. :drew:

WORLD SERIES
Yankees over Mets

Time for my annual how-it-will-happen!

Game 7 Yankees/Mets at the Death Star (Yankee Stadium).  Pedro starts for the Mets.  Goes through 7 scoreless innings despite incessant "Who\'s Your Daddy" chants.  Bottom of the eighth, Mets up 6-0, and the earth stops turning as Willie Randolph trots out Pedro for the eighth.  Womack pops out to start the inning.  Then Jeter doubles, Williams singles, Matsui doubles and Posada doubles to make it 6-3.  Incredibly, Randolph sticks with Pedro... who proceeds to retire Giambi and Sierra.  Bottom nine, still 6-3 Mets.  Looper promptly loads the bases.  Heredia relieves him and strikes out Jeter and Williams.  One out away, Heredia gets Matsui to ground weakly to first.  But Piazza has it go under his glove, and everyone moves up a base.  Now 6-4 Mets and still one out away, Heredia walks Posada to make it 6-5, walks Giambi to make it 6-6, then gives up a grand slam to Sierra and the Yankees win the Series.

Seth, the only thing you forgot is that Mike Stanton, who the Mets traded for Heredia, gets the win for the Yankees in Game 7. Despite the Mets obvious offseason bonanza, I disagreed with the Stanton-Heredia trade and feel that Felix should have been cut after his awful spring. Suffice to say, if that no-control 6.00 ERA southpaw piece of shit is still on the roster come October, the World Series is one place the Mets will not be. But first things first: Pedro, Beltran debut vs. former Met prodigy, Paul Wilson.

I\'m pulling for a Sox championship. . .in 2015, I\'ll let you have just one more ten years from now. Only because 50 years from now when my grandkids are chanting at the Sox/Yanks game, I\'d rather hear them chant something that sounds better than 2004, like "twenty fifteen".
