June 7th @ Oakland - Curt's Near No-No

[ORS]

That's right, I didn't follow the thread title format. You know why? Because the shit ends tonight. A Sox loss combined with a Yankee win is like a rain storm because the worms come out. You can see it with the return of Gom and others of his ilk.

So, it's time to stop the rain.

Long as I remember the rain been comin down.
Clouds of mystry pourin confusion on the ground.
Good men through the ages, tryin to find the sun;
And I wonder, still I wonder, wholl stop the rain?

I went down virginia, seekin shelter from the storm.
Caught up in the fable, I watched the tower grow.
Five year plans and new deals, wrapped in golden chains.
And I wonder, still I wonder wholl stop the rain?

Heard the singers playin, how we cheered for more.
The crowd had rushed together, tryin to keep warm.
Still the rain kept pourin, fallin on my ears.
And I wonder, still I wonder wholl stop the rain?

Curt will stop the rain, that's who. Today, we go to the old war horse. Old blood and guts (and bloody socks). This is a big game, and while Beckett may be the ace of the staff, Curt is still the big game pitcher. Today he shows it again.

Considering I said I was going away and I didn't get to enjoy our series win over you, yeah, it brings me out of the wood work. Once again, intelligence and ORS are foreign to each other. I hope you guys lose again, just for that comment. I am using my anti-Sox mojo just because of you ORS. If you guys lose, especially a close one, it was you incurred the wrath for your team and caused your inglorious defeat.

Same story every time, Gom. Same story. When they lose you're tougher to find than a straight chick at the Lilith Fair. "I was out of town", "I was going out", "The dog ate my computer". Not buying. And, if you were going, then why are you here? Words betrayed by actions once again. You are what you are, worm-boy, and everyone can see it.

So if we start ripping wins again and put it back to 14games or so, will you go away again?

Once again, intelligence and ORS are foreign to each other.

All i can take from this is either:

A-You are brand new to the site

B-Rational thought escapes you

C-Your hatred for everything redsox overwhelms your normal brain functions

I hope you guys lose again, just for that comment. I am using my anti-Sox mojo just because of you ORS. If you guys lose, especially a close one, it was you incurred the wrath for your team and caused your inglorious defeat.

As good as it's been lately, you're still 10.5 games back:lol:

Its sounding like Tito wants to give Manny the day off... he also might give other players a day off, basically game 1 redux. Ok I know its on the west coast but this is a must win game as any with your trusted stopper pitching, why baby and rest players?

He just fucking went out of his mind last night on the umpire...and now he wants to rest players? Let them play...there's a reason you went out of your mind last night. That was to get this team off their asses and playing like they're supposed to. And now he wants to rest them? Huh?
