Lowrie comes through!!! WOW! He\'s missed so many opportunities on huge at-bats, including last night and several times late in the season. I was starting to worry his confidence might really be getting f^%*$d. So much for that! Bring on the Rays! I hope we have more fans at the games in Tampa than the Rays do, per usual.
Just as I was thinking, "The Red Sox are going to lose this with their best pitcher (Papelbon) on the bench", that\'s exactly what happened to the Angels. Sometimes, you have to forget about "save situations" and let your best pitcher go out and pitch.
Did anybody else have a Tony Clark flashback (2004 ALCS) when Bay\'s hit took an impossible bounce to become a ground rule double? I thought that was the sign that the Sox weren\'t meant to win this one.
I definitely fear the Rays: A young team with nothing left to prove that has taken it to the Red Sox all season long.

Yeah I do as well. But the match up was pretty even all season, they\'ve got the edge, esp at "the Trop" (god I hate that) But it should be a good match up
Should be a great series.
I\'m hoping for a Dodgers-Red Sox WS with Boston really stickin\' it to them. Ideal ending would be Game 7--tie-game, two outs, top of the 9th, men on 2nd and 3rd: Manny K\'s. Bay leads off the bottom half with a towering shot to left, though playable, in which Manny mis-plays, falls down, then chucks 6 rows deep behind Boston\'s dug-out as Bay is half-way home.
After my last reply in the Phish thread, I showed up as the last reply: #400. I was also listed as the last reply here: #500. They were stacked. Wolfman, this must be the first occurrence in .info history that two threads reach 400 and 500 posts almost simultaneously and sit on top of the board. Furthermore, I\'d like a probablility figure showing what those chances are, and what the chances that the same person has numbers 400 and 500 respectively.
I cannot believe I\'m not studying and typing some useless bullshit like this instead. Total lack of discipline and focus at the moment.
sweet win, got home too late and missed the exciting end, just caught the highlights, bring on the rays!
"lester\'s been throwing the dickens out of the ball " :lol:
Let\'s go RAYS!
Let\'s go Dodgers!
Who is actually your MLB team Spacey? Generally speaking.

Yankees by Birth.
Red Sox by living in MA for 8 years.
I am generally a Red Yankee.
I am however prone to following players around and generally, I like good sports. I like when teams click and all that.

What the
****? That\'s crazy man. Yankees didn\'t make it, so I\'d assume you\'d root for the Sox (which doesn\'t make any sense to begin with). So you cheer on the Sox until the ALCS when they meet the Rays, whom you are now pulling for. What a ridiculous synopsis. You are the walking definition of a fair-weather fan, and I\'m jealous. I guess you win
every season then. Unless you gamble on sports of course.

Benefit of living in CT. We have access to Red Sox nation and the Yankee Universe.
I have ALWAYS been a Yankees fan first.
I like the Sox because they play good baseball and because 90% of the people I knew in MA believed I was a Sox fan, so I started going with it.
I like the Rays in this series because they are a young bunch of guys playing baseball for baseball. I don\'t think they have too many players on that roster that are currently making a lot of money.
I did call the Rays in the beginning of the year and I\'m sticking to them.
I blame fantasy baseball for making me love the game of baseball again.
