GO TWINS!!!!!!!!!!

don't want the yankees in the big dance this year.

Today's updates:

"Boston Playoff Victory" is STILL an Oxymoron.

Florida defeats San Francisco. Series tied 1-1
Atlanta defeats Chicago. Series tied 1-1
Oakland defeats Boston in 12. Oakland leads series 1-0

Not playing: Minnesota at New York. Minnesota leads Series 1-0

CUBS all the way... hate the yankees but possibly hate the Twins more, GO ROYALS IN 04!!!

I hope the cubs don't win the series but with Prior going in game 3, they should be up 2-1.

What is up with BK Kim in the playoffs? He's good in the regular season but the playoffs is a different story:confused:

The Playoffs are a completely different animal then the regular season. The spotlight is directly on you. You are often the only game being played at that time, have national media coverage (for some teams, not always true during regular season), and there is pressure for you to win. A lot of players, especially in their first playoff appearances, do extremely different. Some do awesome, some need to get used to it.

Pedrito Mondesi
 

None of my teams are playing in postseason, but I was watching Boston and Oakland, and it wasn't a good Pedro Martinez performance. I mean, if Mike Hampton has more K's than you, something isn't necessarily right.

All the commentators were saying that Pete needed to go into the 8th or 9th inning, because Boston's bullie just can't handle it, and I think their point was well taken last night.'

Re: Pedrito Mondesi
 

I agree - he was throwing at about 89 all night, and the breaking ball just didn't have any snap to it.

Is he hurt again? Or just worn out?

Ugh - it was ugly. Horrific display

Re: Re: Pedrito Mondesi
 

I hadn't heard anything about Petie being hurt. Maybe he was gassed. But that bully is something else.

Re: Re: Re: Pedrito Mondesi
 

Maybe, but Pedro will bounce back. This may be his only chance to get to the world series.

Today's updates:

"Boston Playoff Victory" is STILL an Oxymoron.

Oakland easily defeats Boston. Oakland leads series 2-0
New York easily defeats Minnesota. Series tied 1-1

Not playing: National League Teams. Both series tied at 1

oh god...did anyone see that moron cruz drop the pop fly in the bottom of the 11th? HOW CAN HE LET THAT HAPPEN??!?

he is gonna cost us the game :( :( :(

i just dont understand how someone can drop a popup like that...especially after that moronic play he did the last game. the giants are done :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

Today's Update:


CUBS WIN!!!! CUBS WIN!!!! CUBS WIN!!!!
CUBS WIN!!!! CUBS WIN!!!! CUBS WIN!!!!

Chicago defeats Atlanta in a 2-hitter. Chicago leads series 2-1.

Not playing: American League. Yankees/Twins Tied, Oakland leads Boston 2-0.

What a game by Prior. Wood and Prior seem an awful lot like the Schilling and Johnson duo two years ago.

Can the Curse of the Billy Goat be reversed?

LATER TONIGHT: OAKLAND vs. BOSTON
Will the Bambino's curse live on?

What an ending by Florida. The sportscasters were right too, outside of Bonds Florida was better at every other position.

I'm so upset, but what can I say? The Giants didn't play the way I know they could have. They haven't been playing like a team with 100 wins and lead their divison by 15 1/2 games. Hopefully they'll learn from what happened. The Marlins are what the Giants were last year--the underdogs. They obviously wanted it more.

Thanks for a great season boys, see you next year! :cool:

i dont care, the only reason FLA won, was because of that jackass cruz last night. he sucks and should be thrown into the pacific.

besides pudge, edgar alfonso had the best performance of the series.

Boston leading in early innings.....

I'm sad. :confused: :( :(

Baby don't worry! The Yankees are gonna go all the way!

-Rudey
--So no more sadness, ok? High-five! :D

I think that's what she's sad about...

I'm not sad about the Yankees. I'm not a fan, but they do have some great players. I'm glad Clemens did well today. The Giants lost, leaving me without a team to root for.

CUBBIES!!!!! :)

im rooting for oakland now...and these idiots are pissing me off just as much. did anyone see the two HUGE base running errors by tejada and that other dude? cost them 2 runs.

anyways, the giants make me angry, cuz they do this every year. they were up 4-1 in game 2 and blew that, then they had this game won, but the pitching sucks.

go cubbies...go cubbies...go cubbies.
lose the legend.
it's time to move forward.

yes and the only reason they won was because of two idiots named tejada and byrnes. i hope the bosox come back to win this.

Am I the only one who thinks that Fick guy from Atlanta needs to be smacked upside his evil little head?

maybe the tigers were correct in not re-igning him after all:p

He's getting to be a guaranteed out much like the pitcher.

Clemens was sick, the Metrodome home field advantage is overrated when it comes to the Yankees (won 5 in a row there).

Hopefully today they clinch.

dude, do you understand how ridiculous this statement is?

i mean, the last time the red sox won a playoff game, damn . . . let me think . . . oh yeah, they won an entire series that one time, oh yeah - the LAST TIME they made the playoffs?

then in the ALCS they got pounded, but still won the pedro-clemens game in fenway - all in 99. It's not like they never win a game.

I guess i don't get what you're talking about bro - but hey, know what's really important? TROT NIXON - HANDLEBAR HERO

DID YOU SEE THAT??????????

I'm not just saying this b/c it was the Cubs....but DUDE he like, hit the ball out of his hand and hit him in the face!!!! Why didn't he just take a gun and point it at him while running to first??

Clutch hitting by the BoSox in the 8th.

I hope they can win game 5 in Oakland, i'd love to see a Yankees-BoSox ALCS.

That's the only way Boston can break the curse of the Bambino, they gotta beat the hated Yanks to get to the Series. Plus, with the absolute hatred the Sox fans have for the Yanks, that series will either lead to a mass riot in Boston or mass suicides by depressed beantowners.

either way, it'll be fun as hell to watch, right?

Kitso
KS 361 times ya GOTTA root for the BoSox, just so you can tell your kids that you actually saw them win a WS in your lifetime

First of all i'd like to quote myself:

and 2nd of all I'd like to quote KSigRC:
because Trot Nixon has been my favorite player for the sox since he started playing for them. I went through a Mo Vaughn/Scott Hatteburg/Jeff Frye stage, and then it was Shea Hillenbrand (I'm STILL pissed about that trade...Oh you should have HEARD the names I was calling Kim when he f-ed up that 8th inning in the 1st game against Oakland the other night. I sounded like a truck driver...). But now, it's Trot. All Trot, all the time. (I was telling the active sisters the only thing I have trouble with during pledging is not wearing my Nixon jersey!) Last night, I turned to my friend Zach and I was like "Wouldn't it be nice if the sox won this game and it was MY Trot Nixon that did it?" WHAM- the ball goes flying into the bleachers and I jump up and scream. Then we all ran out into the street to join the chorus of "YAN-KEES SUCK. YAN-KEES SUCK" reverberating throughout the streets of Boston.

The Boston Red Sox, while obviously not the best team in the league, are a FUN team. It's FUN to be a fan. They're going far this year guys. Those are my boys.

One more time:
I know you all appreciate that ;)

i'm am right there with you on that... part of the reason why i declared my love for him in the random thread last night after he hit that home run! i was so pessimistic at the beginning of this series.. i was not sure they could pull it out... i'm so pumped for tomorrow's game now!

CUBS WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
CUBS WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
CUBS WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
CUBS WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES:
CHICAGO vs. FLORIDA
NEW YORK vs. ??????

Pedro Martinez, part II
 

Has a second chance. Hopefully, he will deliver his usual Pedro Martinez performance in Game 5. Again, none of my teams are in this postseason, but I like excellence.
