[Bluebear]

12. Is the whole country getting these player intros?

Or just Boston and St Louis markets?

[tcfrogs]

15. Yeah, we're getting them in Chicago

The Sox intros have gone on FOREVER!!!!

[Bluebear]

16. I know, thanks for your indulgence.

Been 20 years and who knows when we get to do it again lol!!! :)

[tcfrogs]

18. I remember it well

I can deal with Boston indulging. A great series BTW, except of course, for the ending.

[Clinton Crusader]

5. GO SOX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

All the way baybay!!!!!!!!!!

:kick:

[Champ]

7. It's like the Former Rockies vs Former Rockies

Lots of familiar players here

Rooting for a 7 game series that comes down to the last pitch! :D

[tcfrogs]

9. That's what I'm hoping for too

[NYC Liberal]

8. Hey all....checking in here!

I'll be rooting for the Sox tonight! Go Sox!!

[Bluebear]

[NYC Liberal]

14. Better believe it!!

(Well, until April that is!! ;))

[Ilsa]

11. Astros fan got her fingers crossed for the Sox! n/t

[DAGDA56]

13. Let me be the first to say...

...it looks DAMN COLD at Fenway. Now, I understand I live in the Orlando area...but 4 of the Red Sox are also from Central Florida, including starter Tim Wakefield.
Oh yeah...edited to shout GO SOX!

[NYC Liberal]

20. NOAA says it's around 42F.

[DAGDA56]

24. 10 degrees above freezing? Or, about the temperature of...

...the Sam Adams I am now holding in my hand. My respect for both teams has just shot up tremendously.

[Bluebear]

17. RIP Victoria.....

nice that they did that

[JohnKleeb]

21. yeah I know

very nice.

[gonefishing]

19. Good Luck!

Sox in 6.

From a life long (very depressed) Yankee fan.

[Yavin4]

22. All True Yankees Fans

are rooting for the Cardinals!!!!!

Asking me to support the Sox is like asking me to support Bush. It just aint gonna happen.

[bigwillq]

23. True dat!

It's not cause I'm bitter but Yavin4 is right in his analogy.

[tcfrogs]

25. That's the spirit

I can't believe so many Yankees fans are rooting for the Sox. Blasphemy, I tell ya, blasphemy!

[sasquatch]

26. Come'on Red Sox

:bounce:

[sasquatch]

27. Wakefield struck out the first batter he pitched

:wow:

[Champ]

28. NICE HIT WALKER!

Good to see Larry Walker finally in the World Series from a Rockies fan :bounce:

[swag]

29. That was quite a slow-mo knuckleball there.

I've been half paying attention.

Saw one political ad so far, this one for Earl Blumenaur, who must have one of the safest seats in the country.

[matcom]

30. CARDINALS 3 OUT!!!

:bounce:

[OneBlueSky]

31. scoreless after a half . . . Red Sox coming up . . .

Go Sox! . . . :)

[tcfrogs]

32. I rarely agree with McCarver

but that WAS a great AB by Damon.

[sasquatch]

33. JESUS HITS A DOUBLE

:D

[Solar]

34. ouch!

sorry about that hit!

[Cush]

35. 1st and 3rd, 1 out

[Champ]

36. NICE CATCH BY WALKER!

[Cush]

37. HR Ortiz: 3-0 Boston

[Champ]

38. 3-0 BoSox

[HEyHEY]

39. PPPPAAAAPPPIIIII!!!!

[JohnKleeb]

42. yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaapi

[tcfrogs]

40. That looked foul to me

Need a replay, PLEASE!!!

[Cush]

41. it was fair

initial angle was bad, I thought it was foul as well

[tcfrogs]

43. Bad initial camera angle

The replay showed it clearly fair.

[ClevelandSportsCurse]

44. Why did the Twins let Ortiz go via free agency?

I wonder if they have any regrets now.

[tcfrogs]

48. Too expensive

Rarely, are the Twins able to keep their players. Plus, he was always hurt.

[Cush]

45. 4-0 Sox

[sasquatch]

46. The Red Sox bats are still awesome

:wow:

[Bluebear]

47. WOODY! WOODY! WOODY!

[OneBlueSky]

49. and after one . . . Red Sox 4, Cardinals 0 . . .

and did you see that shot by Ortiz? . . . it went OVER the foul pole! . . . these guys are hot hot hot! . . .

Go Sox! . . .:)

[seraph]

50. OUCH!!!

WOO-HOO! GO RED SOX!!!

[tcfrogs]

51. Wow, what a head's up play

GREAT BUNT!

[tcfrogs]

52. Is everyone drunk already

no posts here in a while...

[JohnKleeb]

53. no distracted by music and mlb.com

btw man get on AIM so you can join the baseball chat.

[tcfrogs]

54. No AOL, JK

SBC Yahoo DSL for me

[JohnKleeb]

56. thast ok

[Champ]

55. Probaly nothing much worth posting as of now

[ulysses]

57. gotta give props to NYC Liberal

You're a far bigger person than I'd have been with that thread. :)

I'm pulling for the Sox too, mainly because I want to see how big the party in Boston is if they win.

[Champ]

58. Home run Larry Walker!!

So far the MVP for the Cards.

[tcfrogs]

59. Again, bad camera angle

I guess it's just Fenway. Hard to tell what's what in the RF corner.

[seraph]

60. I don't like the way Wakefield is pitching tonight. (nt)

[tcfrogs]

61. They nailed it in the pre-game

Wind blowing in is not good for a knuckleballer. You need swirling winds or be against the wind for the knuckler to, um, knuckle.

[seraph]

62. I don't think Wake will last five innings. (nt)

[sasquatch]

63. The Red Sox need to get the bullpin up

[seraph]

65. No worries - Lots of baseball left.

[sasquatch]

64. The Red Sox need to get the bullpin up

[seraph]

66. YEAH!!!! GREEN MONSTER!!!

[kaitykaity]

67. Make the title in CAPS next time.

Please?

It took me way too long to find this one.

Go Sox!!!

[tcfrogs]

68. I will tomorrow if someone doesn't beat me to it

Too late to edit it now...

[kaitykaity]

69. No, dear, we'll get a new thread when this one

reaches 100 posts or so... be kind to dialuppers and all
of that.

:hi:

[tcfrogs]

74. No problem

I'll start a new thread in a while.

[seraph]

70. YEAH!! Johnny Damon rocks!!

[Cush]

[seraph]

77. Wake needs to come out now.

[tcfrogs]

Time to walk the dog!

[seraph]

About time

[jerryman814]
