WEEI said that TBS is unveiling it's HD starting today (monday). They even gave the comcast channel number.

[MANNYHOF24]

Wednesday at 6:37 is first pitch for the sox/ 8:30 Friday/ 3:30 Sunday/ 9:30 Monday/ 8:30 Wednesday....according to WEEI

 

Nice no 10:00 Pm start times.

[Quinny]

cool thanks for the info!

[LUGOforMVP]

I believe it's an 8 o clock start.

 

As for the series, these two teams just look like they're heading in opposite directions. The Sox are getting healthy again and the Angels are banged up, and their rotation is a huge question mark.

 

Sox in 4.

 

Scioscia has been resting his starters a lot the past week. This is why they lost the Home Field Advantage.

 

The Angels will be fine, and I would not be surprised to see them in the WS. Should be a good matchup this week.

Their starting rotation is better than yours.

At this point, I wouldn't be suprised at anyone in the playoffs making the WS.

True. Guardians vs. Cubs is as good a chance as any.

[DrewDaGreat]

I'm so f***in ready for this to start and of course I have a class that I can not skip until 8 on Wednesday...oh well, I'll only miss a few innings.

[Ray10]

All I know is that im pumped for the playoffs to start. Can't wait to see this series as well as the N.L side of the playoffs. Seeing Philly and Colorado play each other and the Cubs and D-Back all team we don't usually see. Going to be interesting to see who wins the N.L.

once again when the dust settles the ny yankees are favored to win the world series

 

cleveland,with their 1+2 punch and lady paul byrd as the 3 are a live dog at +800

i dont see the angels getting by the sox and i think the yankees have their hands full despite their 6-0 record against cleveland during the season,i do think they will get by but it will be a struggle.

 

nice effort by trevor hoffman last night

all time saves leader just gags like a sophmore sucking her 1st cock

f***ing guy didnt get anyone out in the 13th inning except the sacrifice fly

just pathetic

that said

one of the best baseball games ive ever seen and if this is an indication of how the playoffs will go then you better strap in and hold on.....

 

mlb playoffs

the best

If the sox are up 2 games to 1, do you think they'd try to skate by with Timmay knowing Beckett would be waiting in game 5 should they fall?

Beckett in 4, Matsuzaka in 5 > Wakefield in 4, Beckett in 5.

[TheKilo]

Their starting rotation is better than yours.

 

Lackey with the career 6.27 ERA against Boston, Escobar who's thrown once in two weeks, and an inconsistent Weaver and Saunders.

 

Much better.

[Mr Crunchy]

the sox are going to dismantle this team

with manny back and a long rest for some tired legs i see this going 4 tops

becks will be huge today and lackey doesnt get it done in fenway

[rician blast]

I would not be surprised if the Crunchy prediction were to be accurate...my gut tells me that should be the way things work out.

 

Personally, though, I have to stay (slightly) open to the possibility things don't go that way, as you never know what'll happen...and a staying reserved helps me to buffer the pain later.

[jacksonianmarch]

friday is the big one. If you guys take it, then light the victory cigars. If you go west tied, you may be in some trouble.

[BSN07]

Beckett was awesome last night, truly one of the more dominant performances. The D looked good and we got some dood AB's in.

 

I hope CC shuts down NYY, hopefully them not seeing him for 3 seasons will give him an advantage.

[jacksonianmarch]

Sabbathia might cause your boys some distress.

 

All we need is one in Cleveland the first time around. Whether we beat Sabathia or Carmona, it doesnt matter. We will win one of those games.

[Ray10]

Beckett was just nasty last night dominated the Angels. And the bats were working well too hope Dice-K can repeat the Beckett performance in game 2 and put our boys up 2-0 going back to L.A

[.406]

As for last night, I only have to say one thing: Josh Beckett = Man.

We're not taking that bait, Jacks. It's one game at a time.

[kennsing]

Good evening, let me start off by saying that I am a Dodgers fan above all, but whomever is playing the Angels, I root for. Sweep there asses and spare me another off-season listening to front-running, band-wagoning, douche-bag Angel "fans" of the seabeachfred variety, here in So Cal.

Spot on, Jacko. Spot on.

If the Sox sweep the LA Angels of Anahiem Earth, and if the Tribe beats New York, it'll be the first time in ALDS history that it's been a total sweep. 2007 is sure to be a season for the history books.
