Servo, you are the only guy here who makes me not dislike the Sox.

:lol::lol:..I try I try. Trust me, I hate total Sox homers, as much as I hate total Yankee homers...okay...well maybe I hate Sox homers a bit less but hey...

I mean I am a Sox fan first, but I am also a baseball fan, and I think is one is going to be a true fan of the game, and the team, and not some bandwagon jumper, then one has to look at some things objectively.

And SmoothieX I do agree that the injuries really hurt that bullpen, but it just seemed like there was no real back up plan in case something went wrong.

Lets go Rays. I`m still in shock over what happened on Sun, but at least my last memory of Shea was being in the building for Johan`s game on Sat. Nobody from the NL deserves to win so lets go Rays. (Of course if Kazmir is world series MVP, Jim Duquette, Rick Peterson, and Al Leiter have to die slow horrible deaths.)

Well I don't know how you can say the Cubs don't deserve to win? Thats a damn good team, same with the Phillies.

The Dodgers I might understand, and they are the product of a weak division. I think the Cubs are going to destroy them anyway, so it may not matter long.
 
Admit it, Servo. You just don't want to see Manny in the Series. :D

j/k

So often it seems that bonified superstars have a great regular season but then have problems getting anything like that kind of production in the post season. The Cardinals from a couple of years ago showed us to never take anyone too lightly, when the beat the Tigers to win it all.
 
I hope the Twins' luck in tonight's game is better than their luck with the coin flip. What an idiotic way to determine where a tie-breaker is played.

Go Twins!!!

Very true about the Tigers and the Cardinals. And if the Sox do meet the Dodgers in the World Series, I want every Sox pitcher to drill Manny right in the numbers every time he comes to bat. What he is doing is a disgrace to the game.

It really is. This should be a home game for the Twins, they won the season series.

I know.... though I could swear that at some point they went to the season record to break the tie, at least once.
 
Wow... the White Sox first 1-0 win of the entire season! And it came with their starting pitcher being one who has had a miserable time against the meat of the TWins' batting order.

But, curmudgeon that I am likely being, it's kinda of a blah result because it still bugs me that this game was played in Chicago instead of Minnesota

Ok, now be honest. Would you feel this way about Manny if he still played for the Redsox? ;)

Well if he played for the Red Sox, he not would be in this situation would he?

I loved Manny most of the time when he was here, but things changed this year.

The Sox got rid of him because his behavior went from kinda quirky, and sometimes annoying, to downright mean and inappropriate. And if he can't go out to LA and leave well enough alone, he has to bash the Red Sox and the city of Boston every chance he gets. He can go to hell for all I care.

If I was a Sox player, I would be pissed. He layed down on his team, which is just absolutely horrible. And if I was a pitcher, I would let him know it by putting a 98 MPH heater in his ribcage.

EDIT: Sorry Twins fans. That was a hell of a game, unfortunately things didn't work out well. For a team that was not expected to even compete this year, that was a hell of a feat.

I'm still wondering why Joe Torre hasn't yet made Manny get rid of the dreadlocks. :lol:
 
I think that Manny did trim them when he first arrived, or at least before he played his first game for the Dodgers.
 
Well, crap!

A good game (especially if you like a pitching duel), but it didn't go the way I hoped.

I'm disappointed, but I'm still impressed by how well the Twins did. They weren't even expected to be competitive, much less get to the point that they did.

Which is why I'm now going to root for Tampa in the AL- gotta admire a team that does a lot with a small payroll.

In the NL, I'm going for the Brewers. Even though I won't get the World Series match up I dreamed of, I gotta keep pulling for them. The last time the Brewers made it, I was going to college in Eau Claire, WI (okay, that just dated me), and even though they were in the same division as the Twins back then, I was rooting for them all the way.

Go Rays!
Go Brewers!
 
I was rooting for Minnesota but only had a passing interest.

(Of course if Kazmir is world series MVP, Jim Duquette, Rick Peterson, and Al Leiter have to die slow horrible deaths.)

Where is Victor Zambrano these days?
 
Just for fun.

How to get out of work to watch baseball

1) Tell your boss you tweaked your back during batting practice and need to be re-evaluated.

2) Tell your boss you are a practicing member of a special sect of Judaism that actually observes Rosh Hashana 48 hours later than the rest of the world.

3) Convince your boss that today is actually the start of Daylight Savings Time and that the Rule of Thumb is actually Spring Backward and Fall Forward, thereby saving yourself an hour and perhaps allowing yourself to get home by the middle of the third inning.

4) Turn every calendar in the office to Saturday, Oct. 4th and hope for the best.

5) Pay a friend $10 to drive his car past your office during your lunch hour. Tell your boss you are going outside to the lunch truck across the street. Make sure your boss is looking out the window as you walk to the lunch truck. On your way out the door call your friend and say a Code Word like "The Bologna Is Out of the Package." As your friend drives his car down the street at a moderate but non-lethal speed, walk in front of the car. Note: It is better to try this when there are no police officers or other official-looking people in the vicinity.

EDIT: In other news, it's looking like Pat Burrell might be out game 1 for the Phillies.
