Red Sox - 006 000 031 - 10 15 1For the first time in World Series history, two rookies had at least three hits each in a World Series game. Ellsbury went 4-for-5, with three doubles, two RBI and two runs scored, while Pedroia was 3-for-5, with one double and 2 RBI.
Rockies - 000 002 300 - 5 11 0
Red Sox lead series 3-0
Lowell singled twice and drive in two runs, Lugo doubled and walked twice, and Matsuzaka knocked in two runs with a single in the six-run third.
Colorado closed the Red Sox's lead to 6-5 in the seventh when Holliday blasted a three-run home run to dead center of Hideki Okajima's first pitch. Jeemer then allowed a single, but got three straight outs to end the threat. Boston answered with three of their own in the top of the eighth -- with one out, Lugo walked, Coco Crisp singled, Ellsbury doubled in one run, and Pedroia doubled in two more.
Jon Lester takes the hill tomorrow night as Boston goes for its second straight World Series sweep. ... (Did I just type that?!!?)

«Oldest ‹Older 601 – 800 of 893 Newer› Newest»Hey, someone other than me has switched the nicknames for Timlin and Gange! Dimmer!
Dim their hopes! Hell, shut them out!
Out for the night to watch whats suddenly looking like it may have a slight possibility to consider itself a game. And the laptop is hot. Mostly it being hot.
Will see ya post game!
MT not getting that outside pitch now
Just saw this from a commenter on the AOL Fanhouse site...
"McCarver and Buck MISSED the Ramirez call at home plate, as did the umpire. The Rockies catcher made the tag with his glove and Manny missed the plate with his foot. BUT THE BALL WAS IN THE CATCHERS BARE HAND! ITS OBVIOUS ON THE REPLAYS....HE MOVED THE BALL TO HIS GLOVE AFTER MANNY TOUCHED HOME PLATE WITH HIS HAND. McCarver and Buck are either blind or protecting the umpire, and should be fired for either"
Can anyone rewind and check that (I've changed the channel, and I'm not recording this, so I can't do it)?
timlin.
that happens alot with him. the lonnnnng fly ballll FUCK! ;D XOXO
Lyndon tracking it 415 feet away
Gotta love that biiiiiig outfield!
sit down - now
LUGO!!!!!!!!!!!
(i hate him, still!)
LUGO - TANGIBLE!!!!!!!!
Fuck yeah Lugo! Fuck you Rockies rally!
I now take back every single thing I ever said about Lugo's defense.
LUGO!!!! with the leather LOVE IT
MORE RUNS PLEASE
Snow-coned!!!
Back to say...FUCK YEAH, nice catch Slügo! And remember this:
tim said...
I've gotta say, this lack of Rockies innings hasn't been good news for Joe Walsh's royalty income.
Sat Oct 27, 10:39:00 PM
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! First inning they score runs, what comes on?! HAHAHAHA
i like loogy raising his hand after he caught it, a nice little fuck you.
The admiral does his job. Now let us get some runs back.
I am talking to you MHMBM
Can anyone rewind and check that
I tried, but the DVR thing is predicated on the scheduled times and started over at 11. We're supposed to be watching News now apparently. It only rewound to the 5th inning.
9 game hitting streak for On Fire!!! How about a dong big guy!!!
I'm beginning to think the umps are starting to favor the Rockies. I smell some bullshit.
well, ball 3 to drew was a not called strike.
Strike out the side eh? Yeah you'd like that you Fox Sports fuckwits. God I'm actually starting to hate you...downright hate you.
herges a bit late for the rockies.
what is the big dvd box set going to include this year? all 3 rounds? only the world series? anyone taping and saving these games on dvd-r?
haha, awful ;p
Come on Sox bullpen. Deny them a rally.
the manny play is one of the highlights you can see via gameday.
timlin still in?
no, bad tito, bad.
fuck cunt other matsui
God damn it. Come on guys! Don't get sloppy!
Seriously guys...don't get sloppy!!!
dont fuck around.
That does it. Tito get him out of here. NO MISTAKES!
Shit.
hm.
Rut roh. Tito is resorting to quantam physics.
when timlin finishes an inning, you NEVER bring him back to start the next one. NEVER.
jesus. jeemer now to clean up the mess. concede one run but no more.
Fragging phone calls. Ok, who is coming in?
Here in lies the problem. They're gaining confidence both on offense and defense and we're getting sloppy. Please guys, fix this shit quick.
coco - cf
lyndon - rf
drew out - manny in
just goes to show how good oki and paps are. you feel so good with them out there...then you remember how it can be with tims and the rest.
what about mdc?
Couldn't agree more with the No F*ing Around comments. Use Oki & Paps. Use them up. Win tonight and it really doesn't matter if we take 1 on the chin tomorrow.
WIN NOW!
Honestly...I mean come on!
Fragging kidding me!
well ... poop.
HO LEE SHIT
Fuck fuck and double fuck
oh motherfucker.
timlin coulda done THAT.
oki--overused.
Now you know why I hate hearing people ask for the WS back in the Fens.
I'm over believing in jinxes, so I'm just gonna say this:
the Rockies will not make up this one-run deficit. Red Sox win.
ok. ya know...fuck it. just keep the lead oki. doesn't matter when you still lead.
OK - no sweat. Last time I checked - the team with 1 more run still wins the game.
Shut it down, NOW!
bleahh
Score: Boston 6-5.
I called 7-5 win. So let's do it.
butterflies
Ok, i needed to come back to fucking rant about this shit.
6-5 game and mcmoron talking like the rox have the lead. GO FUCK YOURSELVES YOU IDIOTS
i wish you could all see my face tho. cause it's decidedly not bothered ;)
Oki needs to be gone. FUCK sakes.
6-5 game and mcmoron talking like the rox have the lead. GO FUCK YOURSELVES YOU IDIOTS
ding ding ding
--- so we tease these idiots and then slam the door.,
This is more along the lines of the game I expected anyway. The first six innings were rather unexpected.
Okajima might be a little overused. Surprised that Francona went to him with a four-run lead, but I guess I can't blame him. They wanted to shut down the rally.
outs. we need them.
Christ, don't they know it's not a foul tip unless it's caught?
HUGE
sorry faux -- there's an out.
Damn it. Man I really hope we can contain them. I mean I'm trying to stay focused on something else just to relieve the tension, but I really hope we can score some more runs. That or the bullpen fixes itself right quick and contains them for two more.
Double play, double play, double play.
yo, playoff tito, i need you to work your magick.
dp pls
DP PLEASE!!!!
Relax here comes the dp.
sox style of play
big lead, then tease other team
bot will slam the door
niiice!!
HUGE!!!!!!!!
BALLSSSSSSSSS OKI FUCKING DOKI!!!!
ONE MORE
MLB Gamecast is telling me what happens before I see it on Fox. What's that about?
Oh thank God. Another K.
just get out of this inning.
HUGER
(Yes, I know that's not a word, but still)
OKI - DOKI !
I wish they had listened to McMoron and sent the runner.
oki fumes .. let's go.
then sox:
tek
lugo
crisp
lbj
What a damn curveball !!!
c'mon....
are there an inordinate number of fouls?
HUGEST
let's get those mf runs back.
Yes! Beautiful.
We still lead.
And we still lead 2-0.
Thank you God. Come on Sox bats! Let's get back into it! Pressure makes you work for it!
MORE RUNS PLEASE
whew.
oki is the man.
so who pitches the 8th? OKI? MDC? PAP?
ABSOFUCKINGLUTELY LOVE Joe Walsh!
but hope I don't hear him any more tonight
looks like mdc in the 8th
MDC needs to pitch the inning of his life.
Youk hits third. He'll get a hit. I'm predicting it right now.
looks like mdc in the 8th
I'm glad Oki got those last two outs, because if MDC had to come in - he doesn't fare well when he gets the last out then has to come back out for another inning. So he'd struggle, then you're looking at either a 6 out papelbon save, or maybe even a Gagne appearance.
Glad to see it go like it just did.
Oops. MLB Gamecast led me astray. Need a bigger inning if we want to see Youk.
come on offense.
i bet eck loves everytime they show that shit.
it is time for sLugo and !!!ocoC to do something, the time is now.
lugo run?
ococ tnub?
Coco Crisp will never redeem himself in my eyes, but a hit right now would go a long way to making me stop cursing his name every single time I see him and his stupid MF hair.
1 out - no bunt.
let's go crispy.
puffy hair = upcoming hit
COCO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
puffy hair magic!
Hate the A's, don't really care about the Dodgers, altho I've always kinda liked LaSorda - but before '04 that was my numero uno W-S moment. Maybe because I hated the A's so much, maybe just becuase of my age at the time, who knows, but it really ignited a passion for baseball that had been missing in me for a while.
And now OcOc - doing the same!!
double steal?
let's do it rookie.
I'm calling for a double steal or hit and run. Speed on the bases, speed at the plate. It's a perfect storm.
Why does the MVP, a guy with tons of money, get 2 free cars? If they were smarter, they'd give them to a lucky fan.
STUD!!!!!!!!!!
oh shit.
wow, we needed that.
That's my boy!!!!!
God I love that kid!
ELLSBURY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
YES!! fair ball baby ;D!!
Oh - and woohoo Tacoby!
7-fragging to 5
LBJ!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Corect me if I'm wrong - but I believe....
That's Laura's Boy!!!!!
the boy is wonder-ous xo
(i got a 2nd wind on the gamethread)
the kid is a fucking STUD!!!!!!
YEAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i wanted the runs back. and you gave them to me.
ty red sox. ty. xoxoxoxox
fuckity fuckity fuck yeah
you suck rockies, - go home/
you think 5 runs is enough against us? hahahahahahaha
not even close to enough!!!!
I've said this all postseason (just not here)--Brad Hawpe is a liability in right field. I have no idea if the stats back it up, but I have seen a shitload of bad plays from that guy in the last three weeks.
F*** Yeah!!!!!
Take that you stupid mf Fox announcers otherwise known as McMorons!!!!!!!!
Awesome. Thank you Red Sox offense! I knew you'd come through!
So much better.
Fuck yeah with his usual antics!
yeah! yeah!
this team is gold.
that is all.
sosock, you are correct, sir
P.S. YANKEES SUCK.
Rockies go home? Poor fuckers ARE at home, for all the good it's doing them.
i mean go home and go to sleep.
!!!!!!!!!!ITS FUCKING...............
stupid fox mediots acting like ortiz being out of the game was our death sentence. while yook has been so hot, lots of ppl wanted to play him instead of tiz!

Rockies fans getting the "Game 7 Cam" treatment -- In Game 3!!!!
HURDLE
Anyone else think it will be especially fitting (and poignant) for Jon Lester to be the winning pitcher when the Sox clinch the World Series?
not fitting, but nice -- plus it will give us 8 straight world series game wins.
Remember when they were blathering on last half-inning about how the Sox have destroyed their offensive lineup with the defensive subs?
Well you know what?
GO FUCK YOURSELVES!
Wow, that hour went by SO FAST! (the "hour" Holiday Inn had to get to that ball)
INEVITABLE
INEVITABLE
INVETIABLE
INVETIABLE
one for each win
we are SIX OUTS AWAY to being ONE WIN AWAY from winning the fucking WORLD SERIES!!!!
erin, i was discussing that with my brother today.
that'd be great. you know how psyched tito would be if it went that way? he loves that kid.
I say "fitting" for his sake, not necessarily for the team itself. It's like the dream end to a really bad nightmare (i.e. cancer).
Rookies > Rockies
Lyndon and Fuck Yeah!
7-for-10, 4 doubles, 3 singles.
ok, i spelled INEVITABLE wrong a coupla times, but you get my point!
L-girl said...
....INEVITABLE!!!!!
All I can think of when you post that is this.
MDC.
F*** Yeah!!!!!
Take that you stupid mf Fox announcers otherwise known as McMorons!!!!!!!!
You can take those words to the bank. Wow I feel much better.
omg, i'm glad i don't think of that!
Erin:
Fitting? Not really...
Poignant? You bet yer ass...
PS - don't know if i've ever seen you threading here before? welcome! (at least from me)
+3 runs makes MDC a lil easier to swallow for me.
Furthermore...
INEVITABLE!!!
Whoa! Bartman got seats along the RF line in Colorado???
You see that guy showin' off the Sox cap when Drew caught that? That is an awesome man...
I meant LBJ. :P
fucker had his hand in lyndon's face -- figured it was a rox asshole.
I thought so too, but then I saw the Sox cap and then it looked like just a guy showing love to LBJ.
4 more.
welcome from all of us, erin :)
i think you've been in gamethreads before, no?
Interesting thoughts:
1) THey said Ellsbury just the 3rd rookie ever to get 4 hits in a world series game
2) Previously it was mentioned that because Ellsbury didn't get enough at bats he'll qualify to be a rookie next year.
3) that sets the stage for him to join the same club as a rookie TWICE!
4) How exciting is it to think about Ellsbury and Pedroia in the top two slots in the line-up for the next few years....
FUCK YEAH!
For the record, I am using this definition of "fitting":
"in harmony with the spirit of particular persons or occasion"
Not to say that I think Lester is the man who brought us here, and who therefore should close it out. I'm just saying I think when you're going through chemo, winning the clinching WS game is not something that seems possible, but it's probably the sort of thing you focus on. And now he has a chance to do it.
Erin, are you on the west coast? I'm wondering how you can be so articulate so late at night. I'm falling apart. (And I have work *early* tomorrow.)
Oh, and thanks for the welcome(s). I run my own baseball blog, but I'm sick of live blogging, so I thought I'd just chat with people tonight instead. I think I've been here for maybe one or two other games.
Quick, now that she's showering!
My lack of threading is attributed to my girlfriend being down for the weekend and me wanting to spend quality time with her. After dinner we went to Chapters (aka Canadian Barnes n Noble) so she could get a book to read while I immersed my self in the Sox. (You've just heard my douchebaggy definition of "quality time" - but fuck! it's the world series!!!)
No interest in the game yet - :( however I have been working on it. Explained the bullshit lack of DH in the NL on the way home from the restaurant. Gonna have to get her into it next year more - the Standing room at fenway for the longest game of the year didn't help!
Anyway yeah. I should be back in full force tomorrow, steamed spinach in hand for the clincher!
Yes, I'm in Los Angeles. Only 9:30 here, so I'm fresh as a daisy.
But, really, I'm always articulate. :)
How about LBJ has a great Game 4 -- is named WS MVP -- and THEN wins the ROY in 08!!!
i got what you meant erin.
dont sweat the literal thinkers.
we are SIX OUTS AWAY to being ONE WIN AWAY from winning the fucking WORLD SERIES!!!!
Psssh, big fragging deal, you make it sound like we haven't been there in awhile!! (j/k)
why are they chanting "lugo, lugo"?
Tim, explanation received :)
I understand the need for QT, but shit, she just has to wait til we win the whole thing!
Interesting thoughts:
1) THey said Ellsbury just the 3rd rookie ever to get 4 hits in a world series game

4) How exciting is it to think about Ellsbury and Pedroia in the top two slots in the line-up for the next few years....
FUCK YEAH!
1) and 2) - I concur. Thought went through my head earlier, glad you mentioned that.
3) and 4) OH, FUCK YEAH!!!
wow. this team is gold, yerry, gold!
I think Jeemer showed huge cajones tonight. Woulda been real easy to never re-cupe after giving up the big HR. He sucked it up and got the job done.
Looking forward to an even better year next year from him.
Bot please.
MDC:
Enough with the balls already. Get this guy out please.
Holliday has another chance to make this a one-run game.
so bang a dong -- still up by one.
...
but it's bot -- so it will not be a happy holliday.
But, really, I'm always articulate. :)
Ohhh! I don't bother during gamethreads. :)
I understand the need for QT, but shit, she just has to wait til we win the whole thing!
True dat. And I explained it before she came up, so whatever. She doesn't mind, it's still QT to us. We're both reading in a way. In another, more accurate way, my book is a cathode ray tube of fascinating images coming from Denver!
Unfortunately, my book needs to be tweaked. It appears that someone has wiped their ass repeatedly with the pages of my book, and the ensuing shit from the asswipes is coming out through the speakers of my book.
fuck poison.
Oh it's Bot time baby! He's like the Juggernaut sometimes...
dont sweat the literal thinkers.
yeah, don't mind us dolts that figure words mean what they mean :)
(seriously, i'm not even in that conversation, so i'm only kidding)
Psssh, big fragging deal, you make it sound like we haven't been there in awhile!!
:-)
1 800 54 psycho-bot...
Bot needs to be BoT!!!!
Now if these people at work would just leave me alone, don't they fragging know that there is a game on!!!
this team is gold, yerry, gold!
LMAO
hilarious
biiiiiig outfield again
ONE PITCH!!!
*twitches slightly*
Suck on that, Holliday.
Manny says: "Fuck your attempted rally!"
God, Manny almost missed that ball when his hair got in his eyes and he tried to go behind the wall to take a piss at the same time. What a shame we still have him in left field, huh?
1 800 54 psycho-bot...
Is that the number you call to get the puppet bot?
3
diet coke's got the number
ONE PITCH!!!
*twitches slightly*
Was that from the out, Papelbon's soul steal, or something else Pap might have done? Something we don't know about?
tim, what is she reading?
erin, i LOL'd - very loudly
