[Youk Of The Nation]

[derekn]

Youk of the Nation,

 

Who says I am a Red Sox fan?

[schillingouttheks]

Any trolls in here, are really showing their lack of playoff experience thinking sweep We'll see...we'll see. 1917. Bitches.

 

Sorry, couldn't resist Happened to us a lot.

[Youk Of The Nation]

alright, 13 runs coming up!

[podsednik20]

Schilling, i think every true whitesox fan knows about 1917, but why are you going to rub that in our face? i mena just because it happend to you guys doesnt mean it should be thown in our faces. come on have some class

[BoSox21]

we need game 2

[whackyzach]

[Yankees44]

well, at least tomorrow can't be any worse

[User Name]

Goddamn Clement.

 

Oh, and I OFFICIALLY hate every one of those announcers tonight.

[Youk Of The Nation]

Olerud is batting 1.000 in the postseason!

[podsednik20]

you hate Mike Piazza?

[Yankees44]

maybe now they'll start Olerud instead of waiting for the 9th inning

[Sox fan in Tex]

Alright guys, let's just try to do our best to put this one behind us. We already know that:

 

- ESPN is a piece of crap compared to getting NESN all season

- Clement pitched about as bad as possible

- We left too many guys on

- It will be 10 times louder in Boston

 

Wells takes the ball tomorrow. Don't let the lobsided score get to you, we're still down 0-1 and two of the next three will be at our place.

[RedSoxRooter]

I think Tito did a great job of keeping the bullpen ready for tomorrow. Ahhh, it's only 1 game.

[whackyzach]

you hate Mike Piazza?

 

 

Actually, no, I don't hate him. He stayed relatively quiet.

...

 

Did I not say that I meant it in a sarcastic way...

 

Sorry if you took it too seriously, but you can thank all the dumbasses that support your team that came on and talked s*** on a RED SOX fan discussion forum. Had to get it out of my system.

 

That post was directed solely at the trolls, and not any good ChiSox fan, like yourself.

[podsednik20]

okay, im sorry for like getting mad, I didnt know it was a joke, so yeah sorry . I knwo what you mean that dolphinrob dude is ridiculously ignorant. I mean looking at our history from 1989-200 we have lost in all those years. haha but i see where your coming from.

[riverside sluggers]

how so? bradford was only good pitcher today

 

gonzo, why he was chose over dinardo i have no idea, gave up 4 runs---bronson was used in the 8th and gave up 2 runs

[whackyzach]

maybe now they'll start Olerud instead of waiting for the 9th inning

 

Pinhead Penguin is incapable of logical management!

 

Very sad...

[26 to 6]

OK, ive been meaning to get on here to discuss this series further with you guys, but I was unable to get on talksox yesterday for some reason and I had things to do today so I didnt get a chance to get on after the game.

 

My Assessment:

The Strike Zone was HUGE, but consistent.

Clement had very little control.

If Pod doesnt get hit to lead off the game I think its a VERY different game.

Jose Contreras seems to have finally turned things around against you guys.

Their offense looked fantastic today, very timely hitting, runners were moving along, balls were flying, they did everything right.

I thought Piazza was very good in thr booth today. Not spectacular like Leiter was in 2003, but pretty damn good.

 

this is going to be a very interesting series.

[mosox]

I think Tito needs to seriously consider Arroyo for a possible Game 5. Fortunately as bad as Clement has been lately, Wells has pitched really good. A split is in order.

yeah i couldn't get on either

[AlexanderTheGreat13]

Jose Contreras looks like a MUCH different pitcher now as opposed to when he was with the Yankees. He does not fall into a pattern. I remember the days when he would give up a hit and then throw NOTHING and I mean NOTHING but splitters. Now he has more confidence in his fastball. Plus his K/BB is ALOT better now. I was looking at his last 3 starts (Including this one) and he has struck out 24 and walked 1. IMO Clement looked like Contreras when he was in NY.
