Super User Tin Posted September 30, 2008 Super User Posted September 30, 2008 The winner of the Sox/Angels will win the World Series. I would like to see one of the NL teams win it though. Quote
Super User Muddy Posted September 30, 2008 Super User Posted September 30, 2008 I hate to say this, because me rooting for a team has been the kiss of death lately but I am pulling for the Cubs! How could you not, all those years and some of the most loyal and dedicated fans in the game Quote
Super User Hookemdown. Posted September 30, 2008 Author Super User Posted September 30, 2008 I think the Sox, Angels, Rays, and Cubbies have a realistic shot at the title. The AL Champ is a toss up. I think Chicago has the NL wrapped up. Quote
Super User Gone_Phishin Posted September 30, 2008 Super User Posted September 30, 2008 I hate to say this, because me rooting for a team has been the kiss of death lately but I am pulling for the Cubs! How could you not, all those years and some of the most loyal and dedicated fans in the game I could think of a few reasons, and that list would start with the 'greatest fans in the world.' : Quote
Super User Tin Posted September 30, 2008 Super User Posted September 30, 2008 OH YOU MEAN THE TEAM THAT CRUSHED 13 RUNS YESTERDAY, I SUPPOSE THAT WOULD SCARE AN OVERPRICED PITCHER Don't worry it wont continue like that. Here is the Met's projected average runs a game by month.... May.....9 June...7 July....5 August...3 September...1 October....N/A Told you so.... ;D Quote

Advantage Burley. Quote
Super User Hookemdown. Posted October 2, 2008 Author Super User Posted October 2, 2008 I'm faced with a situation. I really need to study for the Calculus test tomorrow, but the Sox are getting ready to play their first playoff game... What to do, what to do? Quote
Super User 5bass Posted October 2, 2008 Super User Posted October 2, 2008 I hope the Sox play better than the Cubs did. 7-2 ? : Grand Slam off Dempster? : Quote
Super User Hookemdown. Posted October 2, 2008 Author Super User Posted October 2, 2008 Woohoo! Sox win 3-1 to take the lead in the ALDS. As you see, I'm posting this before 6am, so you can probably guess that I chose baseball over studying. ;D Quote
Super User Muddy Posted October 2, 2008 Super User Posted October 2, 2008 It's post season, no harm in that. I missed 4 days of high school the whole 4 years at La Salle. All 4 were opening days at Shea and I went with My Dad and his brothers : Quote
Super User Hookemdown. Posted October 2, 2008 Author Super User Posted October 2, 2008 Oops! Sox win 4-1. I can't even do simple addition now that I'm in higher level math. Quote
Super User Hookemdown. Posted October 2, 2008 Author Super User Posted October 2, 2008 Game 2 should be good. Santana v. Dice-k. I'll be 100 miles away on a bowhunting/football game excursion. Tin, root on without me brother. 8-) Quote
llPa1nll Posted October 2, 2008 Posted October 2, 2008 I was sweating it when Lowrie made the error. Sox pulled it off though what a team even with the bumps and bruises. Quote
Super User Tin Posted October 2, 2008 Super User Posted October 2, 2008 I can't wait to see Becket drill Manny at Fenway in the World Series. He left on a good note with the fans, but just couldn't shut up. Quote
Super User Hookemdown. Posted October 2, 2008 Author Super User Posted October 2, 2008 He left on a good note with the fans. Not this fan. :-X Quote
llPa1nll Posted October 2, 2008 Posted October 2, 2008 He left on a good note with the fans. Not this fan. :-X Right behind you Hookemdown. Guy is a greedy self centered POS, plain and simple. Quote
Super User Tin Posted October 3, 2008 Super User Posted October 3, 2008 Ya but when he was belting them over the Monster no one had an issue. Quote
Super User 5bass Posted October 3, 2008 Super User Posted October 3, 2008 Ya but when he was belting them over the Monster no one had an issue. The trade hasn't really hurt the Sox so far but I have a funny feeling they might miss Manny's bat in the playoffs before its all said and done. Quote

The trade hasn't really hurt the Sox so far but I have a funny feeling they might miss Manny's bat in the playoffs before its all said and done. But the Dodger's are loving it. I would have really liked to have seen the Cubbies do something this year. Almost wish they had the mercy rule, this is painful. Quote
Super User burleytog Posted October 3, 2008 Super User Posted October 3, 2008 ******* embarassing. Not the ******* team I lived and died with over the last 6 months. Quote
Super User Gone_Phishin Posted October 3, 2008 Super User Posted October 3, 2008 * embarassing. Not the * team I lived and died with over the last 6 months. That's the only thing getting me through our 0-2 hole; at least nobody expected the 'everyone is injured' Crew to do anything. Quote
llPa1nll Posted October 3, 2008 Posted October 3, 2008 Ya but when he was belting them over the Monster no one had an issue. No I had a problem when he quit on his team, quit on the fans, and quit on the franchise that paid him $160million! Why? Just because he wanted a different contract and he didnt get his way, thats it. Just wait when whatever team he ends up with goes on a losing skid and he doesnt feel like playing anymore. POS thats all he is, if he didnt know how to hit like he does he wouldnt even be in the majors. Quote

If owners like the Steinbrenners in NY and the bandits that own the Indians can do it to the players then why is it wrong when the players stick it to the owners. He lead the Majors in most offensive catagories since the move. That woud make him right and the BOSOX owners wrong. Quote

He lead the Majors in most offensive catagories since the move. That woud make him right and the BOSOX owners wrong. Muddy he didnt even want to get onto the plane to go play in Seattle, after playing in Cali in the last 2 weeks he was here. He came into a game in NY to pinch hit in the 8th or 9th against M. Rivera the bat never left sitting on his shoulder, he stood there and took 3 straight pitches called strikes and never took a swing. He later complained he had knee problems they sent him to get an MRI on what BOTH knees they both came back fine. He then got traded to the Dodgers and then Boris called Theo up and said dont trade Manny he will play. He then now gets what he wanted to play for a long term contract he is carrying the Dodgers offensively, miraculously he is all healed and now can play and hustle? He quit on the Red Sox when it was John Henry who only had admiration for the guy and Manny bad mouthed everyone to try and get a ticket out of town. Meanwhile you have a guy like Mikey Lowell still playing who practically needs a crutch and a wheelchair to get down the line to 1st base after a hit he is injured so bad. Doesnt compare you couldnt trust Manny to play anymore, thats what it came too. Quote
Super User Muddy Posted October 3, 2008 Super User Posted October 3, 2008 What I am saying is the owners treat a lot of great palyers this days any way they wnat. Is this the same ownership ( Please excuse me I do not watch the AL at all) that let Boggs leave and wind up in the infield fo the hated Yankees? Owners since the days of the Black Sox Scandal to the dismanteling of the Oakland A's and Baron Von Steinbrenner have been no less forceful or greedy than the modern player. Look what happend with Seaver, he should have been a life long Met, it just is not that way anymore. If Manny gets to LA and does not produce, he has egg on his face, if Boston is teeling him we will not negotiate a longer contract, Manny has to smell the possibility of an off season trade, he may have found himself going to somehwere he really did not want go, trade restrictions aside, he controlled his move to a major market team ( endorsements woth more) with a proven manager ans a chance for WS play and he is delivering to the team that provided it.
