And - even worse - tonight, I get 'regional coverage' of the Cubbies game. I think i'm going to have a heart attack.

The Janquis-Red Sox are going to be on FX. And people wonder why baseball is No. 2 and dropping. You don't put a historic, storied rivalry on the second-team cable channel.

Don't know about 'easily' there duder . . .

I think they should throw Burkett tomorrow against Pettitte. I'm serious too - save Lowe for Fenway, where his ERA is 3.50 runs lower.

But what do I know?

WOOOOOHOOO GO SOX!

all I want for my birthday this year is for the Sox to spank the Yanks...

PS... I usually agree with Kitso on many things, but on baseball, we must agree to disagree (YANKEES SUCK!) :D

Wasn't so easy - game was really a battle throughout, I give Wakefield a lot of credit for pitching a great game.

Hopefully the team goes with Lowe at the Stadium, although I don't think there's any chance they pitch him on the road.

methinks there was a lot of beer consumed in chi town last night.

gotta agree with you.. definitely wasn't easy. the sox had some big hits and got lucky on the call with walker's home run, although looking back it might not have mattered if they would have gone with the first base umpires call. i thought there was great pitching and expected it to be a close game.

i did read this morning that they were going to use Lowe tonight. i wish they wouldn't...

it's going to be a good series, though!

I know you have tickets (and I'm so jealous by the way), but hopefully there won't have to be a game 5. ;)

I tried like hell to get tickets....didn't happen.

It's cool - a couple of buddies are coming into town and we're going to watch the game at some local bars (probably Jillian's...not quite sure yet). It should still be fun, even if we can't get into the park.

Should be ridiculous though...I work out at Gold's across from Fenway, I can't wait to see the atmosphere there when I go for my workouts. It had been crazy around my place for the Oakland series, and I'm a good mile away from Fenway.

Anybody going to Fenway Game 3
 
Pedrito Martinez, the baddest 160-pound man alive, takes on Roger Clemens. I'm going to have to tape this -- I have a function to attend tomorrow. Should be a good one, but I'd still like to see 100% Pedro. He's been effective, but not the usual Pedrito Mondesi domination.

I would do absolutely anything for tickets to that game. It should be one for the ages - Pedro vs Clemens in Clemens' last appearance at Fenway Park. It'll be one of those games people will talk about for a LONG time, no matter what happens.

I personally can't wait - the two most dominant starting pitchers of the past 25 years facing off.

I walked by Fenway this morning on my way to the gym, and it was already crazy at 8 am. There were people screaming, a line formed halfway around the ballpark. Cops were all over the place, and someone was being arrested for trying to cut the line. He almost got punched in the face, the cops saved his tail.

Gotta love Boston during baseball season.

DeltaSigStan 10-11-2003 06:01 PM

Don, YOU charged at Pedro.

The1calledTKE 10-11-2003 07:15 PM

I can see why they were mad a Pedro but why send a 72 year old man to take a swing at Pedro? He is lucky Pedro only threw him down. If Pedro threw a punch he might have got killed. The Yankees are evil. Send Torre at him not your frail old man to try to get outrage at Pedro to try to get him thrown out.

Buttonz 10-11-2003 09:25 PM

The Yankees Win, The Yankees Win!!!!!

With that being said...the game was awsome! Forgetting for a minute about all the other stuff that went on, thegame itself was amazing. Pedro vs. Clemens, one run game, amazing!


Pedro was messed up with what he did to Zim, however Zim was also wrong. Pedro had no right to throw him down, or to point at his head and say to Posada that he is going to throw at his head. It was !@#$%^ up majorly! And what was up with the groundkeeper in the Yankee bullpen??? And why didn't a Yankee player go afte Pedro, that would have been the right thing, not Zimmer. But I can't blame Zim 100%, think about it. He has spent weeks in a coma and has a steel plate in his head from being hit by a pitch back in his playing days! That is what caused him to go out there

Imthachamp 10-11-2003 09:29 PM

i was hoping zimmer would have a heart attack right there and die.

I totally understand the rest of reasoning, but "The Yankees are evil"? Wow. Not so sure about that. How about when Manny Ramirez takes a dive on a Clemens pitch that was nowhere near his head? Wasn't that an attempt to get Clemens tossed?

It certainly was a hell of a game - Zim never should have been out there after Pedro, both Pedro and Clemens pitched pretty well, and I'm glad the Yanks came out on top.

i couldn't figure that out!! it seemed like other pitches that clemens has thrown and i don't know if it was just emotion from the game or ramirez reading way too into the pitch, but it definitely didn't seem like clemens was aiming at his head...

watching that game at a bar tonight was quite interesting.. i love people watching in those situations!

What bar did you go to? I'm going out to watch the Cubs game tomorrow, probably to watch the Yanks game as well.

I was down in the North End today with my parents while everything was going on. People were crazy down there as well.

tonic. it was packed! i got there pretty early so that way we could have a table and some of my friends met me there.. when i got there it was empty but then around 4 tons of people showed up. it was a lot of fun to be there.

The1calledTKE 10-11-2003 11:42 PM

I am worried about the Burkett game. Hopefully he will have a awesome day. Hopefully Boston plays like the did like the last 3 games when the played Oakland because Boston is good at being the comeback kids.

Oh I do the was wrong of Manny to freak out about Clemens. He was alot closer to hitting the next guy up than Manny.

CatStarESP4 10-12-2003 02:10 AM

Gooooooooooo Cubs! One more victory and you are in the World Series!!!!!

Come on Red Sox. You must win the next three and you are in!!!!!
