hey... cleveland took the lead. you never know.........
True.
Let's hope both the Yanks and Indians can hold their leads, and if they can, then we'll see what happens tomorrow.
i'll shit a brick and die if the tragic number holds up until the weekend series
So would I.
ahhh fuck, the Sox just tied it and they have a runner on second with one out and Ortiz coming up. Good job Lee.
of course. this is like his only bad game
its cool. big poopie struck out
Now he's gotta get Bay....
.... Bay RBI single... 5-4 Sox.
fuck, well we really dont deserve to make this playoffs the way we played this year.
Yea that's probably true. If only they had swept Seattle like they should have. They'd still have a real shot.
yep, the magic # would have been 3. theres so many games we could if we just got some offense.
What's even more frustrating is seeing how well they've played lately. They could have played like this all year, even with the injuries.
only 5 innings for moose?
They're playing it safe because of the liner that was hit off his elbow.
victor martinez popped out with the basesloaded
well guys, looks like this shit show is finally coming to an end.
Yep it does.
Well I guess there's always next year.
And that's it, the Sox just won.
thanks for the blog. see you next year
well its been an interesting year. one in which i hope we can learn from our mistakes for next year. i'll stop in and see whats going on, but this probably my last game thread comment. i'll still be commenting on hot stove stuff and about the stadiums. thanks for putting this site together greg. go yankees!!
No problem, hopefully you guys will keep reading. This offseason is going to be very interesting.
Well, at least they'll sign C.C. and Tex, and wil win the World Series!
Go '09 Yankees!
If they can get those two, there is no reason why they shouldn't. Well, besides major injuries, but you never know with that kind of stuff.
