BoSox WIN!!!!
BoSox win in thriling fashion Monday night. 4-3 is the score and Boston squeaks by an A's rally in the ninth. Derek Lowe struck out 2 in relief with 2 men on, walking the bases loaded and then striking out the last batter.
GO SOX!!!

And my heart is still stuck in my throat!
What a game! Lowe came up big, while Williamson seemed lost in the histeria.... And when did Manny become the biggest chearleader for the team?? Yesterday he was calling his teammates' shots, tonight he's prancing after his homerun...I like the indifferent, pay me 20 million and watch me bash the ball Manny. Also, lets hope that Damon recovers from that nasty collision and only suffered a concussion. Oh yeah...GO SOX!!! |

The endtimes are near!!!
That was some of the best bottom of the ninth inning baseball. Even though I'm a Angels fan, these series are more exciting than last years.

Mussina, Clemens, Wells, Pettite; I have my doubt for the ALCS. It would be something to see the Sox in the World Series again. I was 9 the last time it happened and now at 26 I think I deserve it.
I think the key to the ALCS is gonna be the combo of Ortiz and Ramirez. If they can get hot, the Yankee's pitching isn't gonna matter much. God damn, what a season this has been. A dream match-up in the ALCS with a potential improbable World Series match-up between the Cubs and Sox. Crazy. |

Yankee pitching is not nearly as good as it was in the past. They still have the names, but not hardly as effective as they used to be. If the Yankee are vulnrable, this is the year. Unfourtantly for the Red-Sox, they're pitching, outside of Pedro sucks, and the Yankee hitters are as good as anyone else.
Who cares, it's the AL, GO CUBBIES! |

I think beating the Yanks in 7 will be easier than the a's in 5. The way the sox played this year, they can easily lose two or three to anyone - but once the bats get going, look the F out! In the end, if they get the bats going - no one can freekin' stop them, no one.
Go SOX! Socks in 7! |

Here is an interesting news story from exactly one month ago folks, where the sox beat the Yanks worse than they EVER had, even in the day of Ruth...
Hopefully this is what we will see in the next week. It would be very sweet. Story copied below... 9/07/03 A Bronx blowout for Sox By BEN WALKER, Associated Press writer NEW YORK -- Not even when Babe Ruth played for the Boston Red Sox had they romped this way. Nomar Garciaparra, Kevin Millar and Todd Walker homered as the Red Sox posted their biggest shutout victory in New York, routing Roger Clemens and the Yankees 11-0 Saturday. "Our offense is scary," said Johnny Damon, who had two hits and drove in two runs. "It's someone different every day." On this afternoon, everyone seemed to take part as the Red Sox won their fifth in a row and sent New York to its third straight loss. Knuckleballer Tim Wakefield did his part, too, pitching seven scoreless innings. With chants of "Let's go Red Sox!" reverberating through the crowd of 55,237, Boston cut the Yankees' edge in the AL East to 1½ games, their slimmest margin since July 29. "When they get a hittable ball, they're hitting it, that's for sure," Clemens said. "They're hotter than a pistol right now." A day after Yankees owner George Steinbrenner besieged his players and staff during a 9-3 loss, the Boss was not seen as the Red Sox romped to a 7-0 lead. After it was over, he was virtually silent -- as were his hitters. The Red Sox eclipsed their previous most-lopsided shutout win in New York, a 10-0 victory on April 23, 1919, in the season opener. That was the same season Ruth led the Red Sox in homers and RBIs, and before the Yankees were known as the Bronx Bombers -- that loss came at the old Polo Grounds, across the Harlem River in Manhattan. "You ride through the tough times and, hopefully, you make them end as quickly as possible," Yankees manager Joe Torre said. "We really have to look at the big picture. People still have to come and get us." The Yankees and Red Sox play their last scheduled game against each other Sunday. David Wells, winless in his last seven starts, pitches against Boston's Jeff Suppan. "We certainly need to win tomorrow," Torre said. "We probably needed to win today." Overall, it was the most one-sided shutout loss for New York at Yankee Stadium since Milwaukee won 12-0 on April 27, 1984. "I think it's mostly a coincidence," said Walker, who drove in four runs. "They have hit the ball better at our place and we've hit it better here, I think." Boston chased Clemens with six runs in the fourth inning, sending the Rocket to his earliest exit -- not related to an injury -- since June 6, 1999, against the New York Mets. Many of the same Boston fans who gave Clemens a standing ovation last Sunday at Fenway Park to thank him for all his years in Beantown derisively serenaded with catcalls of "Ro-ger, Ro-ger" before he trudged off the mound after only 3 1-3 innings. "Good crowds, both stadiums," he said. "Just a fun time to play." While Clemens (13-9) fell to 2-3 vs. the Red Sox this year in his final regular-season appearance against them, Wakefield (10-6) bamboozled the Yankees with his knuckleball. Wakefield shut out New York on four hits, and won for the first time in six starts. He retired the first 11 batters and improved to 2-2 in matchups with Clemens this season. "I wasn't focusing on Roger, I was focusing on their lineup," Wakefield said. The Red Sox, who trailed the Yankees by 71/2 games on Aug. 20, matched a season high with their fifth straight road win and sent New York to its fourth loss in five games. Clemens set down the first five batters before Millar hit his 23rd homer. Trot Nixon was up next, and Clemens began walking off the mound when he thought he had an inning-ending strikeout -- only to find out Nixon had checked his swing. Things didn't get much better for Clemens. Walker opened the fourth with a single and Garciaparra followed with his 24th homer. Shortstop Enrique Wilson, subbing for injured Derek Jeter, dropped a line drive by David Ortiz for an error, setting up RBI singles by Millar and Bill Mueller. A walk to ninth-place hitter Doug Mirabelli loaded the bases, and Damon chased Clemens with an RBI single. Walker greeted Chris Hammond with a sacrifice fly to cap the burst. Damon singled home a run and Walker hit a three-run homer in the eighth. |

I dunno, I'm torn about this. I love the city of Boston (studied at BU), but I'm a New Yorker and a Yankee fan all the way. Logic and tradition dictates I must hate the Sox. Still I am pretty tired of the 1918 chant and would like to see the curse come to an end. Far better to have the Sox blown out than to see them lose a close series. Should be interesting though as the Sox played the Yanks so well this season.
