this proves that redsox fans in here hide when they have no chance. This entire thread was stuck on page 9 the entire game 3 when the yanks were whooping the sox 19-7, but now that they win a game, everyone comes back in here to post.

10/18/2004 7:06:21 AM

I think that might have just a little bit to with the fact that watching the sox come back to win with a 12th inning walk-off and get the hopes back up that this might be a series is just a tad bit more exciting (and therefore more worthy of message board discussion) than a yankees beatdown which looks like they are on their way to a sweep.

besides most of state goes home for the weekend... tww is always slow between fri-sunday afternoon

btw.. I should say that I dont even like baseball before you start trying to call me a bosox fan

Don't worry about him, he's just cranky b/c the Cards are gonna lose to the Astros.

Yankees in 5, what I said all along!

10/18/2004 8:36:35 AM

I didn't hide, I went to watch the game away from my computer in my room where it was quiet. I was hanging on every pitch.

As a fan I think its better to win a tight extra innings game then to win in a blowout. Both teams will be tired. We need a good outing from Pedro tonight, and we need to pound Mussina early which certainly isn't easy. I am glad there will be no sweep. Its an uphill battle, live like there's no tomorrow cause frankly there isn't

10/18/2004 8:51:38 AM

IF there is a Game 6 then Schilling will be the pitcher FYI

and I don't think I hid at all until the Sox were doing well...I just happened to have my laptop w/ wireless so I could watch it laying in bed and use the computer

10/18/2004 9:41:11 AM

Yeah I don't have a laptop. so typing from my bed is impossible

10/18/2004 9:49:00 AM

Schilling is out for the year, he's not gonna pitch.

10/18/2004 11:32:25 AM

Actually Schilling has and always will be the tough guy. He is slated to start game 6 in New York if the Red Sox win today. How effective he will be is another story though.

10/18/2004 11:37:44 AM

oh i agree he is tough and all, but i mena look at what he did in game one, im a red sox fan, he had no effect infact put us out on the line. Therefore i think we need to stop hoping for him, we got it done without him lastyear as close as it did. beleive we can is what i say.

10/18/2004 11:42:54 AM

The problem is Pedro will go today, is there still a travel day or has the rain out screwed that up. If not it will either be wakefield or Arroyo if Schilling can't go. Now granted Arroyo only lasted a couple of innings but he isn't on normal rest and Wakefield hasn't looked good on his relief appearances.

10/18/2004 12:03:37 PM

^ i dont think it much matters...supposed to rain HARD in the city Tues/Weds

10/18/2004 1:19:52 PM

YAY 'Curse of the Bambino' on HBO and Pedro's favorite quote just was played..

'Wake up the Bambino and I'll face him..maybe I'll drill him in the ass' - then he got hurt and didnt pitch again that year

[Edited on October 18, 2004 at 3:54 PM. Reason : joasf]

There is no travel day anymore - they'll play every day until it is decided.

And I'm sorry that I don't stay glued to TWW during all sporting events.

10/18/2004 4:16:25 PM

OMFG - it's the bottom of the 1st and nobody's posting!!! we're all bandwagon fans retreating into our holes!!!!

10/18/2004 5:27:20 PM

no its called watching the game


but im lying in bed watching while online w/laptop

bases loaded 1out 1-0 bos bottom of first....please bosox win

10/18/2004 5:31:16 PM

well, BigPapa, they are pounding him early

10/18/2004 5:31:34 PM

There it was.

10/18/2004 5:34:40 PM

let's go Red Sox

10/18/2004 5:35:28 PM

come on don't go for that


2-0 bosox end of first

10/18/2004 5:37:40 PM

Strike out this billion dollar payroll, Pedro!

10/18/2004 5:44:28 PM

Look, I like the Red Sox for the guys they have, but you should be careful bringing up payrolls. I mean, if you're gonna cheer against New York for buying the best players, you better cheer against the Sox if they advance.

10/18/2004 5:45:51 PM

Haha, I just wanted to see what kind of a response I would get. I know Boston spends a lot. But you can't even compare them to the Yankees in terms of buying players.

I don't think anyone is a fan based on a team's payroll. I'm a Red Sox fan because I fucking love the Red Sox.

10/18/2004 5:50:05 PM

nice catch

10/18/2004 6:00:31 PM

Southeast North Carolina represent!!!

10/18/2004 6:00:38 PM

Grrrrrrr, Gary Sheffield.

The Sox are going to make you EAT those words, you steroid-pumping motherfucker!

(GREAT catch, Nixon!!)

10/18/2004 6:01:21 PM

Fucking Godzirra!!

10/18/2004 6:06:02 PM

Could it be? Have we actually held on to a lead for more than 1 inning? WOWZERS!

And yes ncsupontiac, I can use "we" because I am in fact Doug Mientkiewicz, posting straight from the clubhouse.

10/18/2004 6:14:50 PM

hand-eye coordination is key

10/18/2004 6:15:52 PM

Then I get to be Schilling!

Haha, Jeter(ror).

10/18/2004 6:16:38 PM

that was a strike?!

10/18/2004 6:19:37 PM

How the hell does Ruben Sierra only hit a handful of home runs every year with arms that fucking huge?

I was being sarcastic in the thread that the yanks on here have been calling us bandwagon, etc becaquse we don't post nonstop during games

10/18/2004 6:34:45 PM

damn baseball fans are ruthless

now i don't watch a lot of baseball, but doesn't the ball have to go over the plate to be a strike?

or is that just a shitty camera angle they're showing?

Where are those Jeter haters now.. ha ha

Bill Simmons was asked on a scale of 1-10 how scared he is of Jeter at the plate in a big situation.

He said 11.

10/18/2004 7:15:55 PM

Someone who watches baseball a lot more than me help me out. How far can you get off the baseline when coming into slide at home like that?

10/18/2004 7:16:31 PM

^^i've learned to never EVER doubt jeter in a big situation...just easily the most clutch baseball player i've ever seen

[Edited on October 18, 2004 at 7:17 PM. Reason : ^]

typical boston pitchers hitting the next batter b/c they are pissed

thats got to hurt

10/18/2004 7:18:00 PM

^^^^basically as far as you want, as long as you can still reach the plate

i mean, you can't get the catcher to chase you around, but a slide like that is perfectly fine.

[Edited on October 18, 2004 at 7:18 PM. Reason : ^]

10/18/2004 7:18:22 PM

The noise it made was just sickening...


Pathetic fielding killing the Red Sox yet again.

How long could it possibly take to field that ball... No excuse for letting the thrid runner score... poor throw as well

Poor call at the plate, as well. That motherfucker was OUT.

10/18/2004 7:21:26 PM

^I don't think he ever actually got tagged. If he was actually tagged at the point where the glove was closest, then he was out... but I just don't think he ever actually touched him.

Trot's my dawg, yo
