WS 4: Red Sox 4, Rockies 3

The Red Sox lineup remains the same:
Red Sox                Rockies
Jacoby Ellsbury, CF Kazuo Matsui, 2B
Dustin Pedroia, 2B Troy Tulowitzki, SS
David Ortiz, 1B Matt Holiday, LF
Manny Ramirez, LF Todd Helton, 1B
Mike Lowell, 3B Garrett Atkins, 3B
J.D. Drew, RF Ryan Spilborghs, CF
Jason Varitek, C Brad Hawpe, RF
Julio Lugo, SS Yorvit Torrealba, C
Jon Lester, P Aaron Cook, P
***

Jon Lester / Aaron Cook

If you are worried about Lester starting -- though at this point, why are you worried about anything -- consider that Colorado is pinning its post-season hopes on a guy who has not pitched in a game since August 10.

I love McKielty!

I love no modding either!!!!!!!

Faux News just confirmed A-Rod opted out of his contract. It's because he is "unsure of the composition and ownership" of the Yankees.

Major schadenfreude for this Seattle boy and Mariners fan. RSN allows me to hate the Yankees by proxy, too!

laura k said...

Amy, nice!

allan said...

suddenly, buck decides the slappy news is more important than the sox winning the series.

nixon33 said...

FUCK FOX! THE SOX ARE WINNING A WORLD SERIES YOU CUNT BAGS!

laura k said...

i take it back

it does have to be a sweep!!!!

s1c said...

Tim - the snoopy dance song that is the theme music for the charlie brown specials. The one that Schroeder is always playing (probably some beethoven rip off lol).

Shut up about the MFY a-rod. We are six outs away from a sweep!!!

Anonymous said...

Danndann, no worries. Having the best player in baseball on your team is not the worst thing in the world.

I just don't see it happening I-girl. My worry is not that A-Rod will sign for us, that would be great but rather that he'll miss the playoffs with the Giants etc. and Lowell will be offered huge money by the Yankees.

Amy said...

COULD they SHUT UP about A-Rod? We have the last two innings of the WS here.

See, this is why I hate A-Rod. He couldn't wait until tomorrow to release this news. ASSHOLE. I don't care how good he is.

Erin said...

SHUT UP, Fox!

The Sox are six outs away. Can we please talk about that?

Rick (f/k/a westcoastsox) said...

Great limerick, Amy!

Rookies are ruling the day.
Ellsbury, Pedroia, and hey!
Dice-K's pretty great,
and Jeemer's first-rate
It's a DYNASTY, hip-hip hooray!

Amy said...

THanks, Laura and Westcoast. Loved yours, Westcoast. Getting all those names in is a challenge.

allan said...

to be fair, rosenthal was blowing the red sox in his fox column today - saying that boston is on the cusp of a dynasty.

SoSock said...

SHIT!
The bases are empty with 2 out now.

We are SO doomed.

Amy said...

Glad to see I am not the only one who would take Lowell over ARod.

I don't want our team to be like the Yankees, spending millions just to get an older established player who comes in with ego and history that messes with the team's chemistry. Look how we all bitched about the Drew deal and look how long it has taken for him to adjust. ARod would be far worse, given his ego and salary. Save our money to acquire and keep talent like we now have.

OK, the inning is back. Back to the present.

Rick (f/k/a westcoastsox) said...

Woo-hoo, Ofer!

Awesome! I give it an Esser.

IT'S...

Rick (f/k/a westcoastsox) said...

That cracked me up, phrenile!

Anonymous said...

Another point in the A-Rod thing; el Capitan hates him with a passion.

Might seem a minor point given Tek's professionalism but also do we want to get involved in a big 10 year deal we can't shift?

laura k said...

Smeg off? Red Dwarf?

Blackadder is brilliant. Skip the medieval one, that was a tryout, didn't work. The next four series are some of the funniest comedies ever made. The last one is also heartbreaking - it's anti-war comedy. WWI. Very very funny and very very dark.

Strike zone is fine.

I think I have to agree with the bozos that our strike zone has been very generous tonight.

You folks sure have that haiku thing down. Very cool.

Helton looks like he would blow Bambi's head off at the sound of the word "Venison" ...

Thanks, Amy.

here comes mcc with his pithy sayings.

fox showing us the rockies "we are fucked and i am thinking deeply about my winter" faces

Amy said...

Apparently if we score 7 runs, we tie the record for most runs scored in four WS games.

Ofer said...

Hey get out your brooms
another trophy coming
by way of the sweep

Benjamin said...

Technically these are senryus, though perhaps "offseason" counts as seasonal imagery.

Ofer... don't be afraid. :)

tim said...

so earlier i asked my roomie if the packers were playing this weekend (football) - he said they were playing on monday, in denver. i quaintly mentioned that i'm glad that will be the only sporting event going on in denver that night! lets prove it!

laura k said...

phrenile, they're definitely not true haikus. but whatever.

Benjamin said...

So did our much-vaunted roadie crowd show up for this game? Fox hasn't been showing many.

tim said...

we're just doing the 5/7/5 thing with no regard for anything else

Erin said...

My girlfriend would like to know why the owners of pretty much every team out there is "too cool" to wear a hat, shirt, jacket, whatever that represents their team. It's a fair question, I think.

Anonymous said...

I don't know why but part of me wanted to see Gagne in this game; there is no better way of showing your superiority to an opponent.

"Your so crappola we even let this guy pitch to you!"

Rick (f/k/a westcoastsox) said...

Fox announcers warming up to say "the tying run is coming to the plate."

Crap.

Sorry Oki...it's time for the Bot.

That certainly changes the game a wee bit.

Fragging kidding me, Jeemer, jeemer.

Play off Yerry makes a visit one batter to late.

Can you say "overused"?

here comes the obligatory Buck/McCarver talking like the sox are losing

ah - the old dong to come within one run trick.

we have seen that shit - it is weak.

you score -- you get the bot.

It's true, it's something you never see. Only the hats in the clubhouse after they win.

Hmmm. Good question. I have no clue.

Too rich?

Dang it. S'ok - we have bot, beckett, schilling, dice-k and anyone but gagne comin at you rockies!

I don't know why but part of me wanted to see Gagne in this game; there is no better way of showing your superiority to an opponent.

Definitely. Too bad it's a close game now.

tim said...

That's cool. I ask 29 other MLB teams fans - what would you give for your team to be up by a run, and up 3-0 in the world series, with 5 outs to go?

Ofer said...

Laura, I was starting to laugh about your Bambi comment, but then came that fucking HR.

Oh, well... we're still winning this.

Colin said...

Mess with the Sox and you get the Bot.

SoSock said...

This sounds familiar -
Last time I checked, the team with 1 more run - WINS!

Colin said...

Not according to Fux.

Men only wear hats on Broadway.

Does anybody think oki was used too much in this series?

Definitely. Too bad it's a close game now.

Yeah that became a moot point just as I posted it lol l-girl; still better having him warming just in case!

Sir J- not really, but he did go 29 pitches last night.

Re diets

In the Navy we used to say the perfect diet was an orange, beer and yogurt!

Orange for well who doesn't like oranges. Yogurt, because, well when you look at all those old people in the Ukraine etc, they ate yogurt.

Beer, well beer because you've got the choicest hops, the finest malts and well because it fragging tastes good.

Dear Bot,

We are waiting for the dance. Think you can get us there?

Thanx,
