Both the Angels and the Red Sox are .500 vs. The Evil Empire this season, (Sox 9-9, Halos 5-5) so no clear advantage there. The Halos under Mike Scioscia have the best record in the MLB vs. the Yankees. So while Boston is tough on the Angels, the Angels are tough on the Yankees.
Ugh, the suspence is killing me. Two of the series will have 2 games done before the Angels & Red Sox even start game 1 of theirs...

Geez, thirteen years to the night after Jeffrey Maier, another umpire blows another call to help the Yankees and possibly turn a series. That ball was fair twice! TWICE!

I'm more than pissed at the yankees result..
and I'm becoming more aggravated by Boston's quiet bats as this 2nd game goes on. This isn't to take anything away from Lackey, but for the past however many games, it seems like the Red Sox lose that killer instinct at the plate. They become TOO patient and try to play long ball instead of using their natural hitting ability take the game over. ---------- Post added at 10:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:40 PM ---------- I swear to fucking god. this shit is pissing me off. |

Happy times in newyork
A Rod is finally clutch the pitching staff looks solid for the most part and the line up 1 thru 9 can hurt you in numerous ways and of course always happy to see boston fans sweat and suffer when the redsox can only put up 1 run in 18 innings ---------- Post added at 02:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:04 PM ---------- Happy times in newyork A Rod is finally clutch the pitching staff looks solid for the most part and the line up 1 thru 9 can hurt you in numerous ways and of course always happy to see boston fans sweat and suffer when the redsox can only put up 1 run in 18 innings |

Yep. That's one of the main reasons why I hate the damn Yankees. When the umps give them a call they do deserve, and they disagree, they openly act all huffy and entitled and gripe eye-ball to eye-ball at the umps and from the dugout. They are the consummate examples of poor sportsmanship.
But breaks are an integral part of the game. The Universe has a way of equalling them out... |

Maybe Theo will finally realize he either needs to get rid of dud papi, or find someone that pitchers fear to give him protection like Manny did.
I'm still stunned by how bad Papelbon got roughed up. I think most of the nation is. Oh and FUCK the angels. Anyone but the skankees.. Anyone. |

Well, I guess Gardy will be vomiting all night.
Base-running errors cost the Twins dearly. I thought that Nightmare Ninth would never end, what with all the pitching changes. But then it occurred to me that maybe Gardy was intentionally dragging it out to let Sandman sit extra long on the NY bench. But in the end the Twins still go home. Guess I will see them in Ft Myers in the Spring 2010. |

I assume you mean Red Sox Nation, because speaking for the rest of the American Nation, I can say that "stunned" is nowhere near the word we're thinking

On a related note, here are two players' playoff stats. Player A: 42 games, 151 at-bats, 40 hits, 7 homers, 19 rbi, .265 batting Player B: 42 games, 158 at-bats, 46 hits, 9 homers, 25 rbi, .291 batting Spoiler: http://blogs.villagevoice.com/runninscared/archives/2009/10/jockbeat_31.php Player A is Reggie Jackson, Player B is Alex Rodriguez. And yes, Game 43 is better known as Game Six (1977 World Series). So is Rodriguez really a choker?

As for Papelbon, you can't be perfect forever. He threw 26 scoreless postseason innings before he finally coughed one up. Even Mariano Rivera lost a playoff game. |

Yeah, and the point is, anybody that follows baseball beyond the casual level knows that the Yankees (Steinbrenners) have established a reputation for over-spending to bring in big names for the sole purpose of buying / creating an instant "team" rather than patiently cultivating one. The practice has earned them the contempt of serious baseball fans for years.
Not saying they are the only ones who do so, but their notoriety for doing so is well-documented. |

Keep up the bickering, folks it's fun to read!
Meanwhile the team that some prognostocators are STILL saying can't beat the Red Sox in the post season is moving on. Go Halos! And to all who said "It couldn't be done," or "We'll see," guess what, we all saw. Nothing was more satisfying than watching Papelbon's smug little smile in the start of the 9th wiped of his face when he blows the game - WITH 2 OUTS!! Turn the lights out in Fenway for the Winter, BUCK FOSTON!!!

That is the one serious you redsox have that's not much of a history you want history look up 1995 thru 2009 see who owns who that's history what you want to do nip pick. How about after the2009 alstar break yanks went 9 and 1. My point history wise yanks own the redsox. If you don't believe google it

IS it just me or has the umpiring gone seriously south late in the year. Being a Rockies fan ( in the stands for all the Denver based games ) the umping was not as good as my sons JV games this last spring. numerous blatant missed calls some even in the Rox favor (but not many) I didn't get to watch a lot of the other series ,but the noise has been much louder than in the past. I also wonder the selection process for umps. I loved Bob Davidson as a radio guy while on sabbatical from MLB, but he was absolutely ridiculous in game 2 in Philly behind the plate.. groovers were balls and 6 inches off the plate were called strikes. What a joke. I knew the networks wanted big market teams , they will get their wish. No umpiring didn't cost the Rox the series, lousy clutch hitting and inability to close did, but with three 1 run games it doesn't take much to skew a series. Go Angels, since I don't much like any of the remaining options and for goodness sakes find some decent umps they can't ALL suck .......can they?

Wow, the Angels sure looked like shit yesterday. Missed plays, errors, poor hitting, the trifecta of doom. Reminds me of how they usually played the Red Sox in postseasons past.
I guess the glimmer of hope is that the Skanks didn't exactly light up the scoreboard eather despite the horrible Halo defense. Need a bounce-back game tonight.

How that dropped ball didn't count as an unearned run baffles me. Maybe because nobody actually made a play for the ball? As soon as that happened, I was pretty sure they were going to lose that game.
I'm sure Scioscia read them the riot act in the clubhouse after the game. The team usually steps it up after beating themselves like that.

It's a Phillies vs Yankees World Series.
So Hal, do you feel the same way this year about the two best teams not making it to the WS?
