It's already 3-0, top of the first. 2 Ray bombs before Sox fans sit down w/ their Sam Adams! Pen's already active. Why was there no discussion of bringing Matsuzaka back in game 4, as the Dodgers did w/ Lowe last night? Wakefield doesn't exactly inspire fear in the hearts of the opponents.

I turned my lights out
and Wakefield got lit up.

If they were truly
serious about conserving energy they would ask us to turn our tv’s off during the game too…

If there were any decent broadcasters or broadcasts
We could listen to it on the radio.
BTW Lighting’s about 8.8, a television plus related appliances in 2001 is about 3.

Does anyone else
love JD in the lead off? i have always thought he was a 1 or 2 hitter instead of the middle of the lineup…might not matter much now but maybe we will see more of it next year…

I am all for using that line as often as possible
(…that’s what she said.)
After Tackle Box rescued me from multi-tasking related doh’ness, got one more task than I could handle. What’d I miss?

Pulling Wakefield in the 3rd.

I don't get the selection of Masterston here
What about Byrd or somebody like that? Delcarmen? Masterson is a high-leverage guy.
by Red in Chicago on Oct 14, 2008 8:48 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Byrd threw
at least a couple of innings in game 3, when Lester had to be pulled.

good
it will be nice to see a championship series/game that doesn’t involve a team from boston for the first time in forever, it seems.

Forever = Two years ago.
Nothin'. A handful of nothin'. You stupid mullet head. He beat you with nothin'. Just like today when he kept comin' back at me......with nothin'.
Yeah, well, sometimes nothin' can be a real cool hand.

geez
When you participate in a blood drive you expect them to accommodate you, right? An hour and a half later I’ve missed the start of the game.
by DanUpBaby on Oct 14, 2008 8:52 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
So what are the chances
we see any runs tonite not scored via the home run?
Ryan Howard: one of the most Statistically Outstanding players of all time
by RunninRedbird on Oct 14, 2008 8:55 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
Well,
there’s one run scored NOT via the home run.
by cardsgirl95 on Oct 14, 2008 9:28 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
hopefully these next 4
go back to the previous mode of scoring

by mattyfrommo on Oct 14, 2008 9:49 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
As long as it's TB that does the scoring
it can happen on HRs, guys getting walked in, 4-base errors, small ball, whatever.

+1
That was fun – a 5-run sixth.
by cardsgirl95 on Oct 14, 2008 10:05 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Well
This is exciting-ish. I’m glad for the Rays but I’m not sure I care much. On an unrelated note, American League games always seem different on t.v. It’s like they are darker or the noises people in those towns make are different. And actually it just dawned on me, it seems like there aren’t ever kids at Boston or New York games. Maybe that’s it, the laughter of children. Anyway, just making conversation because I’m that bored.

I know this has probably occurred to all of you...
but if the Rays go on to win the World Series, it will continue an impressive streak of World Series winners pouring more salt into the wounds of Cubs fans. Since the Yankees dynasty of ‘96, ’98-’00, here are your winners:
2001: Diamondbacks – 4th (FOURTH!) year of existence…
2002: Angels – I can’t really make a connection on this one…
2003: Marlins – Beat the Cubs in the NLCS, 2nd title in 11th year of existence…
2004: Red Sox – The only fan base that could REALLY understand how Cubs fans feel…
2005: White Sox – The OTHER team in Chicago…
2006: Cardinals – No explanation needed…
2007: Red Sox – Sox win another for good measure…
2008: Rays? – Never won more than 70 games until ’08, 11th year of existence…

Sonnanstine
is pitching a nice game here.
by cardsgirl95 on Oct 14, 2008 10:11 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
yes he is
too bad he had to finally give up a run to the Sawx, I as hoping he would shut them out again.
Yes, I am greedy.

Not only am I envious of the Rays for having BJ Upton
I am kinda envious of the DRaysBay blog game threaders, for their picture posting skills. They even got Kim Jung Il into the act. That takes talent my friends.

Aside from BJ Upton being pure awesome
Dude’s name is based off of being called “Bossman”. Unfair.

I was trying to figure out the Bossman angle
Bossman Junior huh? Very unfair.
As.good as he looks out there it is almost hard to believe he was drafted as a SS
* sarcasm might be involved in this comment
by mattyfrommo on Oct 14, 2008 10:45 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
It's hard to believe how bad he was at playing SS too given his athleticism
56, 44, and 53 errors in a season. Seriously.

I'd still take him as our SS

At the very least it'd be interesting to see what a -50 player looks like

right
I wouldn’t mind him being our SS. At least then I wouldn’t complain when Tony played a MIF in the OF

the Rays are a very good team. Stop pretending that this is the most depressing thing that has ever happened to the sport of baseball.

Also whats up with Steven King?
I mean, I know the guy is a writer and a spoiled Red Sox fan…but he was reading a book durring the rout tonight.
Ok, I could almost…ALMOST understand reading a book durring a humiliating defeat (I give him credit for not leaving. Good man), But that means when he was getting ready for the game today he said to himslef…
“well I better grab a book incase it gets a bit boring”
WTF?!?
