Red Sox vs Rays
 
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.

Re: Red Sox vs Rays
 
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.

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

Ace$nyper 10-14-2008 08:51 PM

Re: Red Sox vs Rays
 
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.

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

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?

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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

PolarGar 10-18-2008 08:26 PM

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

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.

Re: Red Sox vs Rays
 
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.
