why do these fucking announcers always act like a team cannot score more runs???? like if the spiders score a run or two here, the sox are doomed, we could never come back.

STFU

*pours more coke*

*fizz tickle*

laura k said...

s1c said...

Ok, to those panicing. be Happy, happpy, happy dance!!!!

thatdietcokegirl said...

AM I BOTHERED.


IS THIS THE FACE OF BOTHERED.

Amy said...

Ok, two away. Breathe. One more. Though this Cabrera guy was good in Cleveland. Holding tight here.

allan said...

poor clev fans -- getting their hopes up

or maybe that's good -- crush their hopes and dreams -- losers.

SoSock said...

We can live with that - just get Ass dribble OUT! NOW!

s1c said...

delivery accepted. I am far, far behind in the numbers and I don't care!!!

When, and I did say when, Daisuke gets through this inning, look for an explosion by the Red Sox bats!!!

allan said...

get ass drubbing

Lord Lynch said...

I'm good in a crisis, honest.

Lord Lynch said...

He's not relly fooling anybody. He gets out of this with the lead it is more luck than skill.

laura k said...

there's tons of luck in baseball, always. every no-hitter, every hit streak, every game 7.

thatdietcokegirl said...

we're all not posting.

bloody bloody.
helllll.
c'mon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

laura k said...

wtf

strike 3!!!

allan said...

fuck the fucking heck fucker?

laura k said...

i know, we're so quiet in tense moments.

allan said...

sorry dice, you gotta strike him out 3 times to make it count (/ump)

Anonymous said...

You have got to f'kin kidding me! KKKKKKKKKK already!!

Amy said...

Those two balls went too deep, but luckily foul. Nail biting here. Heart pounding. Get the damn out.

Come on, that was a STRIKE. Fucking umpire. Shit.

YES!!

thatdietcokegirl said...

stomach in kind of a knot.

FUCK YEAH.

*tender crickets*

Lord Lynch said...

fooled him.

Loud shout. Sorry next door.

allan said...

pull the fuckin string.

dice _____________

now we pounce for nmore.

nixon33 said...

GOOD PITCH!!!!!!!

OK BATS NOW PUT THIS SHIT AWAY!

laura k said...

THAT is skill

it may not be pretty and clean, but that doesn't matter.

David said...

Now we pile on the runs!

Colin said...

Oh thank God. Heart attack averted. Now Sox offense, get those hits, runs, and figure out how to counter those DPs!

Anonymous said...

Nearly dropped my laptop on that strike.

thatdietcokegirl said...

RED SOX STILL LEAD.

AND LEAD ON THEY WILL.

MORE RUNS, NO DPS COMING UP!!!

SoSock said...

FUCK YOU ASS DRIBBLE!!!!!

laura k said...

WHEW

WHFUCKINGEW

laura k said...

RUNS PLEASE

allan said...

he has faded, lord, but he got out of it -- hell of a brk ball there.

now it will be the pen. and we are loaded out there

(and getting loaded here!!!)

brendotroy said...

Hell yeah. As he was walking off, I couldn't help but think, "Yes, he'll take this confidence into the World Series," until I remembered to be pessimistic and that this is really anyone's game. C'mon Sox, c'mon.

Rob said...

s1c, you type well while drunk. I salute you!

Rob said...

Westbrook is still in the game. That seems weird to me.

Amy said...

Score runs. My heart cannot take a one run game. Now I remember why I couldn't watch the Yankee at bats in 2004's game 7. Call me chicken, but I just had to turn it off and then turn it back when the Sox came to bat. Doing better tonight, but that one was really hard to watch.

allan said...

yook
flo
mummy
dr. brow

.... runs are in our future.

laura k said...

"til i remembered to be pessismistic"

ha! that's good. if it takes reminding, maybe you don't need it.

Lord Lynch said...

I don't dig this positive vibe.

I'm English. We eff it up. We prefer to think we'll lose. It makes winning sweeter. I think.

I'm babbling.

laura k said...

game 7 against the yankees, really? that was a laugher, never in doubt. games 4 and 5 were the ones i had to leave the room for.

allan said...

westbrook has had WAY more luck with the dps.

we are down -- we come back -- that is the lesson of history!

s1c said...

ish- thanks!!!

Dear Youk,

Who the frag knows what I want just get on base.

Thanx,
RSN
Joy Nation

thatdietcokegirl said...

PAPI MAGICK PLZ.

SoSock said...

Christ, my heart is`still pounding!
Papi's Turn :)

Anonymous said...

Amen lord...this week England (or an Englishman) managed to blow it at three sports. When we actually win its so wonderful its unreal!

s1c said...

ok, I am now seeing two of everythings. I am so, so cut off!!!

Jeemer!!!!!!

Lord Lynch said...

Do Fox hate the Sox?

These negative vibes....

mook said...

The Sox batters are looking impatient. Gulp.

Amy said...

Well, to be honest, it was the late innings in all of those games! I just couldn't stand the thought of any Yankee runs. You know, the old 2003/1978 fears.

allan said...

2004's game 7

flo dong in the 1st: 2-0
damon salami dong with 0 outs (?) in the 2nd: 6-0

that was a 9 inning party!

s1c said...

Dear Papi,

since this has seemed to work so far.

Your at bat, your time@!!!

Thanx,
RSN
Joy Nation

thatdietcokegirl said...

c'mon fenway, make some noise!!

allan said...

watch for the manny dong here.

watch.

Lord Lynch said...

Time for the Mummy Manny.

s1c said...

Dear MBM,

Mummy time!!!

Thanx,
RSN
Joy Nation

laura k said...

2004 alcs gave us all heart attacks. on the way home tonight, allan and i were saying how by game 7 the yankees were so demoralized, they never had a chance.

i've only seen that twice that i can recall. the yankees in 2004 and the sox in 1986.

anyway, here's manny. i am still saying inevitable.

allan said...

I am now seeing two of everythings.

so you think the score is 6-4?

johngoldfine said...

woof, that's no fun

thatdietcokegirl said...

okay pen, let's 1-2-3 them right back.

s1c said...

Fragging kidding me. Ok, I now pass the torch to anyone who is not drunk to type the letters.

If we lose I blame BH (blotto, blotto, blotto).

Colin said...

I'm gettting really sick of Fox and their fucking jabs at the Sox. I might turn the TV off and stick to Gameday. Either they fuck it up or I'm jinxing it.

Ron said...

After all thouse crappy "Our Country....." commercials, this bank robbery Chevy commercial is sweet relief.

It's a little tense in here. Look over there! Shiny!

laura k said...

here comes jeemer

there go the spiders 1 2 3

laura k said...

it is tense

keep the faith

(those john mellencamp commercials make me sick!!!!!)

s1c said...

o you think the score is 6-4?

If it will help then to quote our favorite ROY "Fuck Yeah"

allan said...

dice: 5-6-2-0-3, 88

jeemer on with 15 outs to go

Rob said...

For the first time tonight, I'm getting a little nervous. 3-2 is tenuous. The Bullpen's got to be lights out here, because all of a sudden, Jake Westbrook found his stride.

80 pitches for Westbrook.

I'm wearing an Okajima shirt right now.

Rob said...

Beckett is now warming.

Lord Lynch said...

11 left.

laura k said...

THAT'S SIXTEEN

Ron said...

Heartburn medication sponsoring the Bullpen numbers.

Not our bullpen, thank you very little.

Manny Being Manny.

allan said...

14 to go

Colin said...

Beckett is now warming.

I hope it's Divine Providence.

SoSock said...

I love Thirdner :)
OK, Jeemer too!

Anonymous said...

Christ I'm going to have to go bed; night all...hopefully I'll wake up to a win! GO SOX!!!

s1c said...

Obviously, BH is not reading this thread. I said I was cut off!!!!!

I'm wearing an Okajima shirt right now.I'm wearing an Okajima shirt right now.

I don't care what you are wearing as long as in the seventh I see Captain Kiss Ass!!!!

Amy said...

16 and 14 = 30?? You expecting a tenth. Please NO.

allan said...

i hear you, ish.

tranquilo.
tranquilo.
tranquilo.

Lord Lynch said...

redsock. You expecting this to go 10?

laura k said...

oops our math is off! no, no 10th, we will not bat in the bottom of the 9th.

Amy said...

Gnight, Dann.

laura k said...

it's the paid vacation in a glass

s1c said...

DannDann - good night and celebrate good times c'mon!!!!

Sir Jahmez said...

On a lighter note, anyone ever seen a game where they haven't mentioned jeemer's head?

allan said...

11

i have not yet begun to drink ( for real!!)

Ron said...

pronk - noun The sound of a baseball coming off a bat shortly before it's caught just shy of the warning track.

SoSock said...

Ish - is that an Oki....JAMA shirt :)
Damn S, I think I'm catching a contact buzz here.

Sir Jahmez said...

YEAH DREW.

laura k said...

chief, better than webster's

allan said...

TEN!!!

Lord Lynch said...

Bo Derek and Dudley Moore to go.

Ron said...

Funny, that ball made the "pronk" sound too.

Amy said...

Now there are ten outs to go.

The advantages of drinking water.

Downside: tense as hell.

laura k said...

k-ville, that's where our bullpen lives

s1c said...

i have not yet begun to drink ( for real!!)

lol, lol, awwwwwww who the frag cares I am already blottoooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sir Jahmez said...

YEAH 9 left.

SoSock said...

okrag - OUT!

s1c said...

9!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lord Lynch said...

Lugo. Nicely done.

Okey-cokey does it.

allan said...

JEEMER = no worries.

NINE TO GO

nixon33 said...

L-GIRL CALLED IT!

LETS GO BATS.
COME ON, ON FIRE!!!!!!

Lord Lynch said...

German Negative left.

David said...

That inning made me feel a little better.

Benjamin said...

I do so love our better Japanese pitcher. (Though I expect more from Daisuke next year.)

Amy said...

OKI! You go, guy! 1-2-3. Nine more outs to go. Single digits, folks.

SCORE SOME GODDAMN RUNS. I need something to calm me down.

SoSock said...

9 - number 9, number 9

laura k said...

whaditellya? 1 2 3

and yes they ALWAYS mention jeemer's head. we'll have a few more games of that yet!

Joe Grav said...

I went home to watch this game with my family.

Just checkin' in.

GO SOX. :)

David said...

Will jeemer go another inning?

thatdietcokegirl said...

damn, i wish i was blotto.

i'm all...too much sugar. which = sa;lkdfjasldjf


ok i'd really like a lead-off dong.

can i get that?

s1c said...

Dear J.D. (it is J.D right?),

Thanx,
RSN
Joy Nation
AA
whoever else cares!!!!!

Ron said...

Rah-Ger Playing Golf.

I said it the other night, this commercial keeps getting funnier.

Amy said...

Cute, Lord. Very old movie reference.

Joe Grav said...

Oh, who now? Timlin? Beckett?

Benjamin said...

jahmez: surely you don't expect Fox to treat their audience like they're smarter than Fox's announcers.

Sir Jahmez said...

Fat Billy - still golfing.

SoSock said...

Congrats to the Rockies!
They earned the right to be the runner-up of 2007! :>

allan said...

we need a transfusion of runs, doc.

s1c said...

Cute, Lord. Very old movie reference.

another signal that s1c is blotto. WTF??? I don't get it!!!!

Amy said...

I liked the Westbrook we saw in the first four innings.

laura k said...

HITS PLEASE

RUNS PLEASE

and amy needs a cosmo

Lord Lynch said...

Westbrook locked in.

This is going to be a rough ride!

allan said...

FB golfing?

No. He's at the all-you-can-eat buffet at Sizzlers.

thatdietcokegirl said...

westbrook is so in a groove. FUCK HIM! and only at 80 pitches.

C'MON JD! REMEMBA LAST NIGHT??

allan said...

i'll take a 3-2 win, but i would like some padding

thatdietcokegirl said...

cap'n, just triple then you can dong later for the cycle. ahah.

Lord Lynch said...

What a job. He's losing and conceded 9 hits.

Schilling was being carped all night for a ton better outing.

Amy said...

Bo Derek and Dudley Moore in TEN...when there were ten outs remaining.

A cosmo would be heavenly, but alas, none available here tonight. Some beer and wine in the fridge, but no cranberry juice, lime or cointreau around.

s1c said...

Captain My Captain,

Hit, a hit please.

Thanx,
RSN
Joy Nation

SoSock said...

"What a job by Westbrook"

WTF

He's behind, h's given up 7? hits, and without the gddps,
he'd be WAY behind.

s1c said...

Schilling was being carped all night for a ton better outing.

I hate McMoron, I hate Buck, I hate fox sports.

brendotroy said...

C'mon, guys, where are the bats!?

I'm sorry, I'm not really mad, it's just that the stress is killing me here ...

nixon33 said...

fuck. westrbrook in a groove. we need to get him outta that shit.

lets go bullpen!

SoSock said...

Correction - 9 hits!

Lord Lynch said...

The pitching is going to need to do it, because the bats are panicking. Not showing the patience that is needed.

Amy said...

So is Oki coming back? Or are we getting someone else? We have to shut these guys down. Nine more outs to go.

laura k said...

the bats are not panicking. YOU are panicking.

we are still ahead. our bullpen is strong.

and we CAN score more runs.

hang in there everyone. we're going to win the pennant.

s1c said...

Ok, I have to say this. STFU fox, last time I looked westbrook is behind. Maybe, just maybe you should be talking about how the Sox have been able to take advantage of the chances.

"walk you dog" LOL

allan said...

westbrook at 94 --

and we have the lead and a better pen

thatdietcokegirl said...

AYE AYE LG! ;D!

it's good it's all good. bullpen, be strong :))

Sir Jahmez said...

We will come back in the 7th with more runs...I can feel it.

thatdietcokegirl said...

ok now paps is loosening. lol. i thought becks was going in??

Amy said...

Nice first pitch by Oki.
