2004 World Series... Red Sox vs. Red Birds

[popacrobat]

then the al can ditch the dh. it shouldnt be there anyway.

players getting paid millions should be able to field. if david ortiz cant field, take him out of the lineup. its not that tough to field.

if anything should be abolished its the stupid all star game deciding homefield.

 

[speedracer]

Scratch that, they're not rumors. The Sox team doctor said as much.

he wont last too long tonight

 

[U2democrat]

stl, GREAT avatar!

i hope schilling doesn't last long. seeing that blood on his socks is just.....bleh. and i don't usually get queasy.

 

[speedracer]

Schilling got through the 1st inning, but he didn't throw anything above 90 mph to Pujols or Rolen. Something to watch.

 

[DaveC]

Schilling does 2.

Currently 2-0 Boston, end of the 2nd.

 

[DaveC]

Aaaaand 3 for Curt.

Mid 3rd, 2-0 Sox.

 

[popacrobat]

good: cardinals are hitting the ball hard off schilling.

bad: theyre losing 2-0 and i hate life.

 

[DaveC]

Top of the 4th and Curt is still in.

Christ this guy is a hell of a trooper.

Boston 2-0.

defense

 

[speedracer]

Walks

 

[popacrobat]

tell me about it

 

[popacrobat]

i have an intense dislike for life currently

 

[DaveC]

Curt gets through 5, and it's now 4-1 Boston in the bottom of the 5th.

 

[popacrobat]

more fucking walks.

shoot me.

 

[popacrobat]

this game is just waiting to be blown open

 

[DaveC]

8 errors in 2 games and it's only the 6th inning.

Fuck.

End of the 6th, still 4-1.

 

[speedracer]

Dammit.

Those errors didn't lead to any runs, but they might force Schilling out an inning early.

 

[popacrobat]

it doesnt matter.

 

[popacrobat]

down 0-2 headed back to st louis...

series is pretty much over too.

History would tend to disagree with you.

Not only that, but just look at what happened in the ALCS.

Keep in mind you're playing BOSTON. It isn't even over if it's Game 4, Bottom of the 9th, 2 outs, Boston leading the series 3-0 and the game 14-0 and a grounder is leaving the 2nd baseman's hand towards 1st base for the final out.

And besides, you were damn sure a couple hours ago that Boston wouldn't win a single game in St. Louis.

 

[popacrobat]

yes because i was feeling good and trying to feel better about this series.

now when you can only score 1 run through 6 innings when the other team has made four errors...

then youre not in for a good run.

 

[popacrobat]

i can hear a very large lady singing

 

[DaveC]

Curt is done after 6. Embree is now on the mound.

The score is now 6-1 in the top of the 7th.

 

[speedracer]

Chris Myers was absolutely owned by that 79-year-old lady.

 

[speedracer]

down 0-2 headed back to st louis...

series is pretty much over too.

Teams that have gone up 2-0 have won the World Series 77% of the time.

Sounds impressive, until you do the math. If each game is considered a 50-50 proposition, then a team that goes up 2-0 should win 81% of the time.

 

[DaveC]

Top 8, Embree coming out, Foulke going in.

6-2 Boston.

 

[pub crawler]

Jimmy needs to find his bat.

 

[popacrobat]

he left it in st louis

 

[popacrobat]

seriously, i wont sleep tonight. i have to mourn the end of the season.
