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.

Ok, Manny. You got it that time.

i suck at counting backwards.
i'll leave the countdown to others
I was wondering about the 14 outs also. No tenth inning, please.
fuck you mcasshole. manny is the shit. you wish you were as talented a hitter.
In the army we used to have grilled cheese contests. My best ones included onions, crushed red pepper, yellow and bulgarian cheese (a kind of salty cheese- don't know how you call it in English) and olives. Yum.
Alright, I can't take this anymore! Going down to make GC and listen to radio!
Play off Yerry.
MDC? We need MDC to be on baby, we need MDC to be on!
Tranquilo
fucking great start for lester.
no houdini needed.
Yay Lester!!! You were awesome.
Laura, are you trying to inflate the number of comments ;-)
Tito is NOT f*ing around, eh?
Nice work by Lester. I hope he IS back next year
Gee, you people are getting me more and more hungry! An Israeli army grilled cheese sure sounds pretty fancy!
fuck you mcasshole. manny is the shit. you wish you were as talented a hitter.
yeah!
YEAH!
Ofer that sandwich sounds... oh forget it that is just... wow.
wanted to see him finish the 6th, but well done kid. you shined.

Laura, are you trying to inflate the number of comments ;-)

LOVE YOU LESTER!!!! I disagree with taking him out here. Come on Manny D!
its ok if the comment # is low, we're watching a world series win! I know you know that!!!
Fuck it, just found 1/2 container of Tzatziki and a bag of mini toasts in the fridge!
come on MDC!
Who else is warming in the pen?
Yeah, I'm on record for not liking this move from Francona either.
Especially after two balls to start off from MDC.

I rewound it to watch the bubble gum thing, and so I missed that home run live.
I guess we have our MVP now.

DOCTOR FILLS OUR PRESCRIPTION FOR ANOTHER RING
Now he's the MVP! Almost leaving no doubts.
mvp.
DOC ! - delivering!!!!!
Cook - Cooked!
WOW, SIDD! Well there it is!
No letters needed, just me the dawg and oh yeah Happy dance, Happy dance!
wow - slappy wasting no time -- on the day the mfy say they will meet with him and an alleged offer is reported in the tabs.
So A Rod opted out. Who cares...Lowell is the MVP, who needs A Rod? (You already know my views on this.)
Funny coincidence of events, Alex opting out right as Lowell hits a HR. It's major baseball news, however you slice it.
No letters needed, just me the dawg and oh yeah Happy dance, Happy dance!
I've learned this time! lol, gotta shut off the speakers for the first second, that pop is almost as bad as listening to fox for 4+ hours during the playoffs.
thinking of it...we've listened to these quacks for at least 33 hours! more than a fucking day! (figure 3 hours per game avg...including commercials etc)
A little bit of schaudenfreude for you all...just saw on CNNSI that A-Rod opted out of his contract with the Yanks
Ha! Can this day get any better? Will Girardi decline the manager's position? Will Rivera retire? Will FBfO announce that he will pitch for them again next year?
How good can it get?
Tek. Another hit.
CAPTAIN MY CAPITAN!!!!!
There's the "lament chant" as I've come to call it....they're lamenting the team now.
"OHHH! ROCKIES!" *cries*
Delcarmen on deck, nice!
Really nice blog.
I have few cousins in US, and they like Red Sox a lot.
Greets from Macedonia!
The Steinbrenner sons are just brilliant businessmen.
This is what I imagine will happen when the Yankees make their offer to the new manager:
Yanks: "Here is the package we're offering... three years, guaranteed, at $1.5 million per year."
Coach: "That's a lot less than you were paying Torre."
Yanks: "Pay...ing?"
Coach: "Yeah, he was making like six mil a year."
Yanks: "I'm sorry. You must have misunderstood. If you sign this contract which, oops, looks like your agent just did, you are guaranteed to owe us 1.5 million dollars a year. And that's not counting the escalator clauses."
Coach: "Escalator clauses?"
Yanks: "Yeah, you have to pay us another 500K for every round of the playoffs we win. We figure that's only fair given all of the media exposure you're going to get once the postseason rolls around... oh, and you have to pay to use the escalator."
Coach: "Really?"
Yanks: "Yeah, it's twenty bucks to ride if you don't feel like taking the stairs."
why did tek stop running? if manny did that, they'd talk about that for the next 2 hours.
I have to hand it to those Rockies fans. They are being very loud, even now. It's hard to do when elimination is staring you in the face.
Time for the tim 7th inning musical interlude!
"Would you be impressed" by Streetlight Manifesto
Downloaded the leak of the new album the other day, first new album from these guys in 4+ years and its not supposed to be out til November, I'm impressed hahaha...
GBA just got a little bit worse.
Country singers? I'm not watching, but I can hear it.
Lowell so far in WS:
6 for 14, 3 BB, 4 RBI, 6 RS
3 doubles
1 HR
Amazingly, Lowell isn't leading the Sox in RBIs. Tek is. Note that the Sox have scored 28 runs (to Colorado's 7), and have 28 RBIs. Each of the starting 9 has at least 1 RBI.
Due to the good pitching performances, I nominate Varitek for MVP.
Ellsbury - 3 RBI
Pedroia - 4 RBI
Ortiz - 4 RBI
Ramirez - 2 RBI
Lowell - 4 RBI
Drew - 2 RBI
Varitek - 5 RBI
Lugo - 1 RBI
Youkilis - 1 RBI
Matsuzaka - 2 RBI
Macedonia! I continue to be amazed by the draw of this place. Welcome, Biceps.
Ish, we're just the opposite, we can see it but not hear it. gba = mute
Red Sox Nation > Elimi-nation
why did tek stop running? if manny did that, they'd talk about that for the next 2 hours.
Varitek just bought Delcarmen a second inning.
<< Sits, maintains respectful abstention during GBA song.
Bob says - "Listen to the John Denver wannabes"
LOL
Ish, we're just the opposite, we can see it but not hear it. gba = mute
I muted my TV, but the TV in the living room didn't get muted.
after the blogger mention, i got visitors from like 30-40 countries. always been a few, but this was amazing.
M Yass, LOL :)
Only b/c I know you
Well, I know Tek will not be the MVP, nor should he be. But that's an interesting stat. I know his offense is nothing to write home about, but he has not totally sucked either.
I'm not watching, NOR listening! It's called a double-switch. If you've heard anything Fox has had to say on the subject, it's perfectly understandable, me being an AL fan and all.
Ish, we're just the opposite, we can see it but not hear it. gba = mute

I always imagine you have only radio. Now we learn there are two TVs!
When when we win this game, it will be the greatest runs scored/runs allowed differential of any WS sweep.
We rool.
Amy, he's been hitting in this series, no doubt about it.
I always imagine you have only radio. Now we learn there are two TVs!
Actually there are six TVs throughout the house. My mother is in her bedroom with the game on, my father is in the living room with the game on, and I've left the tv on in my bedroom.
You're probably right about Tek. But his pitch calling has been nothing short of brilliant.
I'll bet Tito hopes we get 5 more runs and he can let Timlin pitch the 9th.
I won't mind.
Bob says - "Listen to the John Denver wannabes"
They haven't started taking chain saws to furniture yet, or imbibing prior to operating high performance, experimental aircraft.
losercam!
Well Hop on motherfucking Pop.
the rockies have scored their run. very nice. 9 outs to go.
Okay, one lucky shot.
We're still ahead.
Not worried.
Not worried.
Shhooot. But that just motivates is to score a few more to get that cushion, like last night.
I'll bet Tito hopes we get 5 more runs and he can let Timlin pitch the 9th.
12 more and we can get gagne in!

Another illusion crushed.
Jeemer and Timlin in the pen.
MDC needs to throw some strikes. Preferably the kind that don't end up in the right field seats.
mdc not sharp,
if alba gets on, let's go with jeemer.
there is SO nothing to worry about
Eight
Huit
Ocho
8
Keep the ball down MDC, keep the fragging ball down!

DJ WERD!
8 to go.
there is SO nothing to worry about
2 runs up, 3 games up, 8 outs to go, and 58 in the bullpen.
I agree.
red soxk, did tek stop running toi try and bait them into a rundown so lugo would be safe?
edit. im am not worried about these rockies hits.
Looks like Jeemer's coming in.
I'm not saying Oh shit! I'm saying OH SULLIVAN!
aw jeah here comes tito.
(playoff tito:))
Nope, I was wrong.
Fox yearning for this moment all night....just so they can say "TYING RUN at the plate"
timlin
Flag in, he always makes me worry when there are men on base.
Tranquilo
Okajima probably doesn't have much in the tank at this point, but I'm not comfortable with Timlin here.
2 runs up, 3 games up, 8 outs to go, and 58 in the bullpen.
me likee
manny wants to eat his cake, you know?
Timlin - in.....I think I like it.
(Cue Earple - Did IIIIIIII say that?)
cake for manny! cake for manny!
nix - no, the grounder went right near the bag. helton grabbed it, stepped on the bag and was going to throw to second, but tek had stopped and so helton was able to run at him and tag him.
don't mess with manny's cake!
dp pls
PS: What's the name of that "Happy Dance" snoopy song? is there a formal name to it? i wanna download the sheet music for it!
Timlin - in.....I think I like it.
(Cue Earple - Did IIIIIIII say that?)
How I know BH got up - the dog got off the couch (lol).
BH- so, how many outs are left
s1c - 8
BH - You aren't going to go out on the front steps and yell "TOP OF THE WORLD MA", in your pajamas like you did in 2004 are you?
s1c - "who me?" (s/e grin on face)
i would just like to note
even though i am quite confident that we will win this game
we do not actually have to sweep the series in order to win
although we will
it's not required
"Rock the ball kaz" sign...interesting.
Buck brings up Ortiz being in the game defensively...irrelevant.
i want a kazual double play.
Ain't gonna be 46, Rockies.
BH - You aren't going to go out on the front steps and yell "TOP OF THE WORLD MA", in your pajamas like you did in 2004 are you?

Um...why is Gagne throwing the ball in the bullpen right now?
GAGNE? OH NO YOU DI-ANT!

Tranquilo
gagne up -- we're scoring 15 next inning
No way. Gagne up in the pen??? GOD FORBID.
Timlin did his thing. Got the K on Matsui.
Dim K!
K!
gagne warming? yikes.
gagne = we will score 10 more runs
tranquila!
The Red Sox offense will see Gagne warming in the 'pen and know that they need to score about twelve runs in the next inning to secure the win. Francona is a playoff managing genius.
Tim - I don't hear the song on my laptop (I have the core disabled). Next inning break I will fire up the desk one and see If I can id it!
Whatever guys, I'm cool about a Gagné 8th. It's what he was brought here to do. We're up 3 games to 0, and if he fucks it up, we've got another 3 games to win it.
He's a kickass pitcher (except for in boston, lol), maybe being out west again will be good for him.
erin has the right idear
tranquila...> tequila, which I might need soon
all those surgeries didn't help either

Joe Walsh still finds a way onto the commercial music even though the Rocky Mountain way is being blocked by an avalanche of Fuck yeahs, LBJs and Doctors!
The new Dimmer does it! Now, just don't let him pitch the 8th, and we should be fine.
hi danndann, glad you're back! yes, the news has already been reported here. right when lowell hit his HR :)
hi danndann, glad you're back! yes, the news has already been reported here. right when lowell hit his HR :)
gotta say - timlin has been the shit lately.
but tito - DO NOT let himpitch any more tonight.
shit ........
gagne 8 and bot 9???
*cues up Sweet Caroline*
timlin suggests that TT be "driven" to the bench.
Danndann, the news must be getting across the pond a little slowly. See the comments above.
Oh, we're haikuing?
Rockies hope for runs.
No runs for you, Timlin says.
Maybe next year, Rox.
clap clap clapclapclap calpclapclapclap YOU BLOW!
Timlin's up to bat first. Does he really get to swing? Methinks not.
i prefer limericks, in case anyone has one
Ah ok I-girl, I checked but must have missed it.
I'll now worry until the moment Lowell resigns.
ah timlin will not pitch - unless hebats here. good ol NL ball.
Oh, I forgot to mention in my "so what if its gagne" post...i am planning on down
KEILTY WOW!!!!!!
FLAME FRO-ER!!!!!!
KIELTY!!!!!
5 Ball ytou beautiful red headed muthercukcer
Kielty! WOW!
That is a way to strike back Kielty! Glad to be back at the Joy.
And now we'll beat you with our bench!!! KIELTY DONG!!!!!!
Er, uhm. I was not expecting that.
good for him!
Hehe.
Kielty dong!!!!!!
have moved the ice bucket and the pagne (rhymes with gagne) into the living room
That's what Tek was doing, not running to 2nd!
Alright, Kielty! Earning your ring.
Oh Bobby Sweet Bobby!
Kielty dong! (sorry, time delay on TiVo)
Danndann, no worries. Having the best player in baseball on your team is not the worst thing in the world.
LBJ!!!!WHOOOOOOO!
OH....MY....GOD.....
ONLY FOX could make any kind of equivalancy between the World Series and American Idol.
And now... YET ANOTHER young'n - getting in the`act!
Cue Timbuk3
"The future's so bright...."
Caught up to live. LBJ!!! Hand-body warming up.
OH....MY....GOD.....

Here comes the A-Rod rumors!
OLD NEWS ROSENTHAL!
There once was a team called the Rox
Who thought they could deliver the knocks
But our team came to town
1234 Rox went down
The kings of the world are the Sox!
LBJ throws down the gauntlet. Take that, doctor!
Why the hell is Fox talking about the MFYs in the clinching game of the World Series?
Who cares about A-Rod?
