[JohnKleeb]

19. no problem, god let it end

I want the yankees to lose again.

[NYC Liberal]

15. OUT!!

[Pithlet]

16. OH, bull shit.

[GOPisEvil]

18. Horrible call!

Ortiz was safe.

Although...:wtf: was he running for?

[al bupp]

22. We wuz robbed, I tell ya

[faithnotgreed]

23. again kleeb... the calls

thats how they do it every time. how can people not compare this to kerry v evil empire??

damn yankees eh

[Endangered Specie]

28. When you got all that $$$$$$

bribing is easy.

[JohnKleeb]

32. Richie Garcia 1996 *coughs*

yeah youre right.

[JohnKleeb]

34. fuck the yankees

I am sick of everything going their way.

[JohnKleeb]

25. goddamnit just end for the love of fucking god

so the sox can go toe new york and schill can get redemption, grr, fuck.

[FlemingsGhost]

21. Papi was safe.

Ump missed the call.

[Kathy in Cambridge]

26. That's two on Papi tonight that were complete BULLSHIT

:grr:

[Bluebear]

29. I call BULLSHIT too!

[BeyondGeography]

33. Papi got called out for being fat

Fat guys aren't supposed to steal bases in that situation. They don't get the benefit of the doubt.

It's an unfathomable game, but it has its rules.

[St. Jarvitude]

80. Uhh...

Fat guys aren't supposed to steal bases in that situation.


Can't you see that this is why Francona sent Ortiz?

He was clearly safe... I didn't see it live, but they showed a real-time replay on FOX and I immediately thought before seeing the ump make his call "Wow, Ortiz got a stolen base... I'd better check the sky for pigs".

Then the ump pumps his fist and I go :wtf:

[NYC Liberal]

24. Inning XIII

[jerryman814]

27. ohhhhh 13th inning... strange things happen here...

[WilliamPitt]

31. The umps are just MURDERING Ortiz

What complete bullshit. That's twice.

[NYC Liberal]

36. Go Sheffield!!

:)

[enigami]

38. it's the curse

[al bupp]

40. What are you, an "it's the curse" bot?

just asking

[enigami]

41. you have to admit there is someting to it

[al bupp]

44. As a Reasoned Being

I say each throw of the dice is independent of the last through. As a lover of Literature, I say it gives an interesting theme to the narrative.

[enigami]

46. I've been drinking whisky so i like the narrative part

[al bupp]

65. Speaking of whiskey

Methinks James Joyce would have appreciated the Red Sox' story.

[mvd]

64. They say a curse exists, but not the kind you think of

When you lose so many times, it tends to play with your head and bad things just happen.

[al bupp]

72. I think it's deeper than that

To me it's like a classic Greek tragedy. Besides a Cubs fan, perhaps only a true Red sox fan can appreciate the excrutiation of it all. Ever read "In the Penal Colony" by Kafka. It's something like that. After a while the sacrficial victim actually achieves transcendental bliss.

[BeyondGeography]

37. Mirabelli usually catches the knuckler

And again, shit happens.

[al bupp]

39. Strike out, passed ball

AKA Wakefield's bane.

[amerikat]

42. We are witness to a classic ballgame.....mark this thread

[NYC Liberal]

43. Matsui on 2nd!

:)

[jerryman814]

45. I really don't get walking Posada....

but we'll see

[jerryman814]

47. Woohooo keep throwing that knuckler!! lol

[jerryman814]

49. CAPITALIZE!!

[jerryman814]

50. omg!!! WTF!!!!!

[al bupp]

52. Steee-riiiike Three!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[NYC Liberal]

48. Matsui on 3rd!!!

Let's go SIERRA!!

[faithnotgreed]

51. thank you God. we are on to the bottom of the 13th

[JohnKleeb]

will this finally be the end?

[faithnotgreed]

59. yeah. i say we take it right here. hope there arent any bunts though!

[RollergirlVT]

56. still 4/4 ?

[JohnKleeb]

58. yep

[RollergirlVT]

61. well I hope they end it now, Daily show is coming up.

[jerryman814]

67. Esteban Loaiza = The Mother Fucking Man!

[FlemingsGhost]

53. Think Mirabelli catches the 14th?

If there is a 14th ...

[Redneck Socialist]

54. The yankees have left 18 on base tonight. n/t

[MaineDem]

55. Poor 'Tek

Must be tough to catch that knuckleball.

Thank goodness they're out of that inning! Phewwwwwww

[enigami]

60. Tek is tough , 2nd best catcher in baseball

[BeyondGeography]

57. Three passed balls, two walks, no runs, 18 LOB

Bummer.

[mvd]

62. Yankees look like they are swinging for the fences every time

Must have caught the Phillies' disease.

[NewYorkerfromMass]

63. that's only for the home team from the 9th on

and I am still PISSED about Damon being made to bunt.

[mvd]

68. They had guys on second and third

All they needed was a regular hit.

[JohnKleeb]

69. sigh both teams have been choking

its pissing the hell out of me.

[BeyondGeography]

73. Could be a sign of exhaustion as well, Kleebster

I'm getting tired just watching this.

[NYC Liberal]

66. Inning XIV

[RollergirlVT]

70. that's it! I'm going upstairs. GO SOX!!!!

[al bupp]

78. Can't take it anymore?

Come on, it hurts sooo good.

Whip me, beat me, make me root for the Red Sox!

[BeyondGeography]

71. Bogus strike three on Clark

But Wakefield's earned it tonight.

[al bupp]

74. Make up call

for the Ortiz check swing strike 3 earlier.

[NewYorkerfromMass]

76. it was close enough

and Jeter gone! YES!

[kcr]

75. Wakefiled has been incredble

There just isn't a more valuable pitcher on the Sox right now. he has single handledly, almost, held his own agaisnt the Yankee bullpen.

[kcr]

79. So, any bets on whether the Hous/SL games ends before

or after this one?

[enigami]

81. no 0-0 bot 7th

[faithnotgreed]

77. i think this is THE inning people..... sox take it here

and damon will come through this time i think. hes too good to struggle this long

[Pithlet]

82. I hope so

This is a great game, though. Even if I weren't a Sox fan, I'd want to see this series continue.

[jerryman814]

83. not the way loaiza is pitching.

bellhorn strikes out.

[kcr]

84. Loazia cannot keep this up

I am a White Sox fan, (but lived for six years in NE as a kid, so have a soft spot for the BoSox), and I watched him all year -- he can do this for a bit, but when he goes, oh man, its like the damn broke and the two just got flooded away.

[al bupp]

85. but damon walks

[faithnotgreed]

91. he is looking better than he has this season but i hope manny takes it

it out of his hands

[amerikat]

86. Go Johnny go

[mconvente]

87. damon walked

manny is gonna get up barring another double play!

[Zorra]

88. Ramirez or Ortiz is going to hit a home run.

[Zorra]

122. Dang. Just a single. Have to get that crystal ball fixed.

[NYC Liberal]

89. STEEEEEEERRRRIKKKE 3!

[al bupp]

92. Doing his best John Sterling imitation

gotta admit Loiaza's pitching like he's got something to prove.

[mconvente]

90. LETS GO MANNY!!!!

43 dingers in the regular season man! Jack one out NOW!!

[NYC Liberal]

93. Go where?

;)

[jerryman814]

95. I hate my life... Why is Ortiz haunting it?

:(

[enigami]

98. to 1st base

walkkkkkkkkkkkkk

[JohnKleeb]

94. full count

no, walk, and Papi can win it!

[Pithlet]

96. Walk!

Okay. Scoring position.

[NYC Liberal]

97. Too late.

Walked...

[al bupp]

100. Mighty rips, he's taking

[jerryman814]

101. My poor nails... I don't have any left....

[Endangered Specie]

99. Start a IV thread if this goes to 15th inning.

[jerryman814]

102. HOLY CRAPOLA!

[jerryman814]

106. DAMN IT!

[flowomo]

119. told ya last night, jerryman..... 4 straight, Ortiz MVP

[JohnKleeb]

I will

[NYC Liberal]

103. I bet at least one Sox fan here jumped.

;)

[Redneck Socialist]

104. Holy Moly!

Is there anything better than playoff baseball? I can't take it!

[FlemingsGhost]

105. Papi! Oh, sweet Jeebus ... thank you! Sox win!

These guys are scrappy, huh?

Ortiz is unbelievable!

"Start spreading the news," Yankee fans. We're coming back to New York, and there's still plenty of work to do, if you want the Pennant.

(whew ... I'm exhausted.)

[enigami]

111. The evil empire defeated again

[mconvente]

107. YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

GAME 6 tomorrow!!!!!

[NewYorkerfromMass]

108. YESSSSSS! ORTIZZZZ!

YES

WHAT A FUCKING AT BAT!

[al bupp]

123. The Yankees Lose

The-aaah Yankees Lose.

[Pithlet]

109. Yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good game!

[dietdpfan]

113. I'm tired.

And I wasn't even playing!

[Redneck Socialist]

110. Woooo Hooooo!

:bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

[JohnKleeb]

112. we already have a victory thread beanheads

[faithnotgreed]

114. oh yeahhhh. haha look at cashman in his weenie yankees

headband!

its not a good look for him but it looks great when they lose

[BeyondGeography]

115. Congratulations, Sox fans

The Mighty Ortiz has conquered us again.

You guys were fun to hang out with, even if you're dancing on my team's face right now.

Back to The Bronx we go.

[NYC Liberal]

116. Now we get to win at home!!

:)

[NewYorkerfromMass]

121. I'm there tomorrow night

got 2 tix.

[mconvente]

117. YAHOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

Sox went into NYC last year down 3-2: so it's just like last year. We got Schilling who looked the yanks in the eye when he was in arizona and lieber sucks and then brown sucks game 7!

I BELIEVE!!!!!!

[Bossy Monkey]

118. This is getting ridiculous!

Can Kerry get by without Massachusetts' electoral votes? Boston is definitely going David Ortiz all the way!

Congrats to the Sox! It's ridiculous to be this happy for the opportunity to go to NY down 3-2, but I guess it's just so much better than the alternative.

[Endangered Specie]

120. ah HA! see by asking for a fourth thread, I jinxed it for the sox!

Ill have to try that again on game 6! ;)
