Red Sox vs Rays

[VirtualSmitty]

Since the Yankees are out of the running, i've been following the Rays. And they are taking it to the Sox tonight!

I'm calling it right now, Rays and Phillies in the WS.

[Ace$nyper]

I agree.

I hope the Phillies pull it off though being a Philly native, but I love the rays. Happy to see them get this far.

As of time I'm typing this is a 13-3 game favoring the Rays.

[VirtualSmitty]

The Rays play really great baseball. They are a fun team to watch.

[Ace$nyper]

Yea they just came out of no where banded up and are cleaning up, it's so much fun to watch them.

As loyal a Phils and Yankees fan I am I would say fun factor they have the most spirit and are the most fun to watch play.

[King James]

I hope the Rays win it, would complete their season

I have a Habanos 5er that says the Red Sox will win the ALCS. Game?

[Dandee]

You trying to give away cigars?

The Sox are down 13-4. 3-1 hole will be very difficult to dig out of.

If I had 5 Habanos to wager I'd take that bet.

Can I use beef jerky, lightly tea bags and nail clippers as my collateral?

I love your spirit! I just wish I had your faith!:fl

Shh...I haven't met Joe yet and he herf's with many of the same guys that I smoke with. I was trying to start a dialogue with him. Sheesh. :D


Full disclosure: Work has been crazy and I had no idea they played last night...but a bet's a bet.

You're a good man, Charlie Brown...I mean Rob. Wish I had the same faith in the Dodgers, but it ain't looking good going back to Philly later today :(.

I was told to always bet on a sure thing :tu

You gotta make one of our herfs one of these days. GTS21 comes up every once in awhile, good times.

[rizzle]

You know, they've sure come a long way from when I could walk up to the ticket window 30 minutes before the game started and buy a ticket to sit behind home plate. Against any team. If you have followed them casually at all you have to be impressed, or better yet maybe, stunned.

I've been to about 10 games this year and haven't seen them lose yet. Such a far cry from the last 10 years where I'm lucky to have witnessed 10 wins total. Hey, it's fun and I know to enjoy it while it lasts.

[Buckeye Jack]

Still pulling for the Dodgers, I want to see Mattingly get a WS ring since could never get one with the Yanks.

There is that, but i'd hate like hell to see Torre make it to the WS after leaving the Yanks.

Philles, FTW!!!!

[St. Lou Stu]

Go Rays Go!!!

[BobbyRitz]

Eric!

Eric who? ;)

The Sox definitely have an uphill battle, but they needed to win and did. :bx

[md4958]

Like the 2004 ALCS proved, dont count the Sox out until they are out.

[Ace$nyper]

I hate that you are right, but it's true.

After the whooping come back they laid out, the Rays have to be shaken.

It's do or die just as much now for TB I think.

[dunng]

GO SOX! :ss

[Padron42]

What's up with TBS? The game isn't on, they're playing the Steve Harvey show or some sh#t. Anybody know what's wrong?

Edit: It's saying on the bottom technical difficulties. This better not last long.

[Padron42]

In case anyone's wondering, 1 to 0 Rays in 1st with a BJ Upton solo homer. :bh

[JD11]

UPTON AGAIN !!!! :bh gotta go watch ....

[Padron42]

It's finally on now....And luckily Youk tied it up for us. Hopefully the bats can keep it up and Beckett can settle down. Go SOX

[PolarGar]

2-1 Sox but left the bases juiced and could have been more for Boston. Go Sox!

[PolarGar]

Solo shot by Varitek gives the Sox the lead again 3-2 - chases the pitcher away...

[dunng]

About time TEK!!! :ss

[massphatness]

E6 ... Rays are looking a little shaky.

[md4958]

i heard a rumor today that this might be Teks last year with the Sox! Any truth to this?

He's a free agent and a Scott Borris client. It's 50/50.

[massphatness]

[gettysburgfreak]

YES, HELLO GAME 7!!

[PolarGar]

Doing the Papelbon jig - feeling groovy...:D

[Mugen910]

whooooo hooo...Game 7 baby!!!

[dunng]

HELL YEAH!! GO SOX!! :ss

[Mugen910]

I can't say I'm in shock that there is a game 7 :D

[md4958]

A round of drinks for everybody... Bao is buying!!!

[Ace$nyper]

I think the sox have it now since TB lost it again....

I hate to say it but the Rays were out gunned tonight, just out played.

[taltos]

I am not yet ready to count out Tampa Bay. That being said, I believe that winning in the playoffs is a learning process in knowing how to deal with the extra pressure and the exhaustion of playing a long season and still having to play more. I think that the advantage in game 7 goes to the Red Sox because in this new century there is no team that is more battle tested or experienced in dealing with adversity.

I love how this man knows what I was thinking too! I just can't say it in such a smart way. :D

[gettysburgfreak]

Getting ready for game 7 tonight. Got my beer glass chilled in the freezer, Sam Adams Octoberfest nice and cold, and cant wait to see Jon Lester pitch lights out and the Sox on their way to the World Series.

[dunng]

I'm READY!! :ss

[tnip23]

Man I loved it when the sox came back from down 3 to beat the yankees and finally snapped the curse. But enough is enough, the sox are now no longer lovable underdogs, they like the cheating pats are totally hateable. Go TB, get some new blood in there against the Phils and then we can have a world series with two truly likeable teams.

[tenbaseg]

I went to game 6 last night at the trop. I have a new found hate for cowbells. That has to be the most annoying thing I've ever expirienced at a venue.

Game 7 is on. GO SOX!

[massphatness]

This is shaping up as a GREAT game!

[gettysburgfreak]

Boston has got to get the sticks going

[KidRock]

GO RAYS!!! GO!!!!!!!

[gettysburgfreak]

#^%@ Varitek sucks

[massphatness]

Down 3 - 1 in game 7.

We've got 'em right where we want 'em, boys! :D

[SNKBYT]

[LasciviousXXX]

I don't watch baseball but all the guys at the station are watching right now so I am as well :)

A very tense game at the moment. Game seven, bottom of the seventh, close score..... that makes for a fun time

I can only stand to watch baseball if it's playoffs, games mean something and always seem more exciting as a result

thanks............please post outcome of 9th

[LasciviousXXX]

Like I said other places, I'm generally just a hockey or MMA watcher regularly but you are correct in that playoff time in any sport is electric and exciting.

[DrDubzz]

it's like march madness, when every game counts guys play a lot harder

[PolarGar]

Yeah we got the bullpen - game over - I hope! :tu

[massphatness]

Tampa's starting to sweat a tiny bit ... two on, no outs.

[DrDubzz]

Ball games, Rays win 3-1!

[massphatness]

Salutes to the Rays -- Great series.

[King James]

RAYS WIN! congrats. good luck against the phillies

[PolarGar]

Best of luck to the Rays.

Great game, great series. I'm so happy for the Rays and their fans.

[SmokeyJoe]

Rays showed a lot of grit... thought the Red Sox may stage a comeback, but Tampa showed why they were such a solid team all season.

Congrats! :ss

[Ace$nyper]

Congrats to the Rays!

Hope they lose the w/s though lol.

[elderboy02]
