playoffs

It is all about which station paid the most !!!!

Simple as that

I goofed, I thought there were two games today.

Sitting with my 10 year old, I told him him Manny was sitting on a back door duece, and I would throw the high hard one.

I know nothing about recruiting

I know nothing about MLB(scouts) 6.4 60??

But I knew the back door would be launched.

Geez Whizz

OS8,

Good call!


Oooo! I see it's tied 6-6. Indians up, 2 out bases juiced.

Awww, Hafner lined out to second.


update -- BoSox meltdown in the 11th. Game finished @ 1:40 AM!

Indians score 7 in the 5th. Ouch!

...but Youkilis responds immediately. 7-1

...and Papi, too 7-2

...now Manny! 7-3

I love this sport.

Dad04 was going to use some rajun cajun voodoo but I see it ain't workin'.

Not looking too good for Beantown tonight! Beckett will bring them back tomorrow though.

Manny being Manny?
He should of been on second base if not third after that long hit to the top of the wall.
Maybe it wasn't called right, but that's beside the point.
Hey I'm great look at me!!
EH

Beckett and co. had Lofton and friends fuming in futility last night! I am amazed with Mannys uncanny eye for strikes and hitting genius, and I'm astounded with his childlike actions on the field and on the base paths!
When a home run fence is topped with the plastic 4" yellow pipe and the ball hits the top of that and bounces back in the ball is still in play, if it bounces on over it's a home run. The umpires made the correct call, it was a great hit and some bad base running.
Still trying to figure out why he felt the need to flip his helmet off as he rounded 3rd when he was thrown out at the plate?

There seems to be a lot of the "look at me" right now in MLB. In Chicago we need look no further than Soriano. Watching him play, I really see zero hustle or desire, but quite a bit of effort into making his "signature".

What a great performance by Josh Beckett last night keeping the Red Sox alive for at least one more game. They needed a shut down performance and Beckett delivered. He's a gamer.

IB, thats why Mastny and Betancourt struck him out looking??

Manny is a great hitter, but this game was all about JB. He frustrated the hitters. What a talent that kid is.

My take was Tribe in 6, and still is.

I agree with you FlippJ.

And Cleveland didn't help themselves much last night. As much as the Indians said they didn't want to go back to Boston, they certainly didn't play that way!

I enjoy watching Beckett pitch, even against the Tribe

I'm glad you guys didn't move the WS up to Saturday, we'd be missing some very good games - -

What are our Sox fans expecting from Schilling on Saturday?

Eventually somebody other than JB needs to win

I'm expecting Schilling to give his all as he did last time out. He must execute his pitches, but if Boston doesn't hit, as they did not in a couple of games, and they move away from their game plan of laying off dirt balls and working the count, then it won't matter what he does. Carmona will always be tough, but will always work out of the strike zone or bottom of it. Discipline and execution will win the next one and all games beyond that.

Fenway Park...Saturday Night. Expect the unexpected. Look for some sort of crazy fan-snagged ground rule double to save a run or two.

Red Sox 6
Indians 4

Perhaps I am willing to wait till this evening to confirm this prediction however

Ortiz is batting .487 in the post season. Manny is at full blast savant level. I think Ellsbury plays right center field. It's gunna be a real scene, man.

ALCS Game 5 0:41

Ooooo, the Glass is definately half full today

I'm with CD on this one,(and pretty much EVERYthing) but I'll go out on a limb and predict that the team with the most runs when the game is over wins the game,(and hopefully the series in tonights game) I think that's why they have to actually play the game!
Lofton for Mayor!

Glass has got all the voodoo out today.

Who says Cleveland Sports are JINXED


http://ech.case.edu/ech-cgi/article.pl?id=CC11

Cleveland continued its tear in the NPSL when it defeated the Kansas City Attack in a best of five series to clinch the title again in the 1995-1996 season. The team won the title again in 1999, beating the St. Louis Ambush in the championship series. Between 1992 and 2000, the Crunch won three NPSL titles, six conference titles and five division championships. The backbone of the Crunch's success in the 1990s included the all-time NPSL career scoring leader and six time league MVP, Hector Marinaro, and the all time NPSL assists leader, Zoran Karic. Andy Schmetzer, Tommy Tanner and goalkeeper Otto Orf were also standouts as the Crunch laid claim to being one of the best teams in the NPSL in the 1990s.

I don't know as unconcious as Manny might seem he probably throw's Lofton out at the plate??

They just showed Manny about 20 feet from the ball when Lofton toched third. He would have scored no problem. Bad third base coaching.

EVEN IF kL is thrown out at the plate, ya have a guy in scoring position at 2b, 1 out and DP is off

I don't think it would of mattered one way are another??
The Red Sox were hot.

agree, just like the alds, when front end of your roatation does not "show strong" (1-3) - you can't expect to advance

kudos to the sox

Most of us think he could have scored. If he had, that inning could have ended up drastically different. You never know then what could have happened to the momentum on both sides. May have very likely effected outcome.

Congrats to the Indians and the Red Sox though on a fun seven games.

Champagne tastes better at home. Much closer series than some scores indicated. The Indians have much to be proud of.

The voodoo worked bigtime!
