PrintWell the Rays took care of their portion of things today. Now it's the Red Sox turn. They're up 2-0 in the seventh. Six more outs and the Halos are dead.
You think Bud Selig is sitting somehwere right now worried that we could have a Phillies/Rays World Series? Yeah, me too.

Lester's at 109 pitches
Papelbon went 2 IP yesterday. Tough call for the 8th but I’m guessing they let Lester start it with Masteron/Okajima ready.

even if the angels can tie it up
i think that boston will be able to get to K Rod this time around. The first two batters he face last night, he could not find his curveball. The only thing he had was this straight looking fastball thing. The next two batters looked better, as he started to use his curveball more than his fastball. But i think that if Papi faced him again with the game tied, he’s come up with another playoff moment, thus obnoxiated sawx nation.

This pisses me off as much as the A’s losing. That’s how much I hate the slegnA

Walk, walk, wild pitch
Nice “relief,” guys.
Weird, but in a way this series the Red Sox look a lot like the 2003 A’s – two balls away from winning last night, one strike away from being out of this inning repeatedly… Like that bad dream where you’re running in quicksand and keep almost getting somewhere but…not…quite…

The Slegna were down 2-0 as well, and now they’re coming back.

As much as I hate that.
They’ll just get demolished by the Rays.

Sux and Slegna both lose and Rays go to World Series by default. Don’t ask me how, just wait.

DAMP SQUIB
Children, until we have taught them better, will be perfectly happy with a seasonal round of games in which conkers succeeds hopscotch.
If the rule is anything like it is for an OF catch
then that was a bad call. A fielder has to make the catch and the ball has to come loose as a result of a “voluntary movement;” typically, grabbing it with the throwing hand to start throwing it back in. If that’s fielded ball caught, then dropped when he hits the ground, it’s no catch all the way.
That may or may not be at all relevant in this case.
I'm a street walkin cheetah with a heart full of napalm.
Indeed.
The announcers aren’t talking about what the rulebook states.
Hey, if obscure rules are going to do us in at Fenway, it’s only fair the Angels suffer, too.
Children, until we have taught them better, will be perfectly happy with a seasonal round of games in which conkers succeeds hopscotch.
I'd argue that it's covered by the definition of a "tag" in 2.00
A TAG is the action of a fielder in touching a base with his body while holding the
ball securely and firmly in his hand or glove; or touching a runner with the ball, or with his
hand or glove holding the ball, while holding the ball securely and firmly in his hand or
glove.
The rule doesn’t mention any requirement that the fielder subsequently remove the ball from his glove voluntarily. I thought the call was correct.
Agreed - I think the call was correct
because it WASN’T a catch. In contrast to Corey Hart’s near catch in which he had to hang on while he rolled over, Varitek didn’t need to have control as long.

Lowrie is exactly the kind of guy I'm miffed the A's don't draft
He was a supplemental pick, meaning he was only available in the first round – but you would think he would be precisely the kind of player the A’s would be searching for as “first pick” material. I guess they tried with Pennington, and before him Crosby, but their scouts just haven’t had the touch in identifying shortstops with real plus potential.

I like Cindi. A. She never pretends to know more than she does. B. She has unbridled enthusiasm for her "Hotties," and isn't afraid to show it. -IM4Oakgal
I agree...I don't even live in R.I. but I still hate the Red Soxs more than the Angels.
Boston is the new Yankees and I hate all the bandwaggoners and that alone makes me hate the Soxs more than the Angels.
The Sox..they just kill me. the angels disappointed me tonight. I was really pulling for a game 5. I know RI has always been a red sox nation..that’s New England for ya BUT they have just as many bandwagon fans as the Yankees. Just as many.RI was always a bigger football state..now recently Red Sox are increasing. Easy to pick out the fake fans. They are the people who only know who Big Papi and “Pap” are. Yet I had a guy question ME about the A’s “oh yeah, prove you are an A’s fan, name 10 players” I was like dude I’ll name you the whole damn roster…but then you name the Sox whole team. Oooooone of us knew the whole team. Guess who?! Lol
