Pitcher's stats are regular season.

 

Forcing game 7 is a victory in itself!

I feel good about this game.

Damon and Manny need to break out and the bullpen needs to draw inspiration from Curt and reach back.

I know we've been here before, but this could be the night we've been waiting for all our lives.

The fact that we're even talking about game 7 is incredible. I remember Friday evening as I was leaving, talking to my boss, saying "At this point, I'd take anything that got us back to New York." Of course the Sox were down 2-0, and things looked pretty bad. They sunk even lower, but amazingly, miraculously, have risen from the dead in this series to force a game 7.

 

By getting to this game, the Red Sox have made history. The only team EVER to force a game 7 after going down 0-3. Coming back and tying the game against Rivera... twice. Winning extra inning games. Twice. Stealing bases. The knock on this team when they were playing .500 ball is that they couldn't win close games.... They've been able to do THAT the last 3 nights at least.

 

SOOOO many questions in this ballgame, hard to list them all. I wouldn't ask any Red Sox fan in the world to PREDICT the outcome of this game, because I think we all feel the same way: We're excited our team got here, we know now that this team can't be counted out, is capable of anything. But we also know the Yankees are a GREAT team still, and cannot be taken lightly. They've got the best closer in the game and the best manager in the game.

 

Our hearts say Red Sox in 7. The inner-child in us all is dreaming about Game 1 in Fenway Park. The pessimist in us sees the Yankees somehow finding out a way to win this game... Crushing our hopes yet again in what has been a roller coaster season.

 

The baseball fan in us all knows this will be a GREAT game. I can't wait.

Exactly. It's a victory in itself that the Sox have been able to do what no team in history has been able to do and to fight back from a 3-0 defecit to force a game 7. If they win tonight I don't know what I'll do. My head might explode.

I'm a bit too lazy to look this up, but is Brown's 0-1 5.93 ERA against the sox at yankee stadium, or is that at Fenway?

[CrespoBlows]

Kevin Brown did not pitch against the Sox at Yankee Stadium this year, so that would be Fenway.

[yagmaster]

I'm so freaking pumped for this game. It's gonna be the biggest Sox game since, well, last year's ALCS Game 7. Except this one's even more important to win, because of our comeback and such.

Hehe, I like that one. :thumbsup:

[yagmaster]

Big Papi with a JACK! 2 - 0 Sox.

[softball]

Yep. Nice foul Tek :0

 

After staying up for those first 3 games and watching them loose... I gave up. x_x Now all my classmates are acting like such big fans. Bleh... they're hopping on the band wagon.

[element1151]

Perfect 1st for Lowe, i'm liking what i see.

[yeszir]

Brown is done with 1 out in the second. The sox NEED to capitalize now, I'm sick and tired of LOB.

[yeszir]

A grand slam? I'll take it!!!

[element1151]

6-0 Sox, we have to keep this lead!

[yagmaster]

Hmm...

 

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[softball]

OH YES! My dad predicted it too o.o I'm staying up for this game =)

[yankees228]

i know it's not over yet but i have given up congratulations and if you hang on to this win good luck in the world series........see ya in april

[softball]

I'm still not really comfortable against the yankees with a 6 run lead. 12 would be nice, eh?

[yeszir]

IT'S RUNS, NOT POINTS!

 

Sorry, it just bugs me when I hear points.

 

6-0 SOX!
