[schillingouttheks]

Game! What an awesome performance. Just f***ing awesome.

 

Sox lead, 1-0.

[a700hitter]

CG Shutout in the playoffs. We don't see many of those.

[ORS]

CGSO, 3rd of his career, wow.

[schillingouttheks]

COMPLETE GAME! DIRTY WATER! AL PENNANT IS CLOSING IN!

 

Thumper, you're getting way too far ahead of yourself.

[See Red]

Ball game. That was complete domination.

 

The guy's flat out incredible.

[MANNYHOF24]

What a freaking great performance!!!!!

[TedWilliams101]

JOSH BECKETT COMPLETE GAME SHUTOUT!!!! Wow. What a performance.

[schillingouttheks]

Schillingouttheks, you just jinxed your own team. When Beckett gets bombed on Wednesday, you are the SOLE REASON FOR YOUR TEAMS DEMISE.

 

Remember this.

 

:harhar:

Great performance by Beckett. Congrats on your win, Red Sox fans.

[MANNYHOF24]

1-0 lead giving the ball to dicek on friday, life is good!!!!

[Gom]

:harhar:

 

You were waiting for this, weren't you schillingouttheks, weren't you? Great game by Beckett.

[MANNYHOF24]

David Ortiz continues to be a October Monster.

[a700hitter]

Manny and Ortiz look to be the offensive wrecking crew of old.

[Beckett95]

Beckett owns at life

[Thumper]

Papi didn't even give his thought on Schilling pitching game 3. He just said "Well, we'll see what happens later on." after talking about Dice K. Even Papi is nervous about Schill. But He's gonna do it, and so will Dice K.

Every win brings us closer. That's all I'm saying.

[Gom]

Congrats on a great start to your ALDS victory.

 

On that note, it's Heineken time. See you guys tomorrow!

Facing CC in game one will be a tall order.

[riverside sluggers]

Beckett has thrown just 2 shutouts in his career (regular season), but 3 shutouts have come in the post season with a now sub 2 ERA... big game pitcher? Oh yea

[schillingouttheks]

You were waiting for this' date=' weren't you schillingouttheks, weren't you? Great game by Beckett.[/quote']

 

Haha, not really actually. I didn't think about it until I saw it on the first page a couple minutes ago.

[YAZMAN]

Nice to see the hometown team come out looking sharp, and dominate all the way.

[Cocos Disciples]

Now, to revel in this glory until Friday. VERY good start to the 2007 playoffs.

[castigs850]

great great game, good thing we won too because if we lost and had to wait til friday to play again i think i would have gone crazy

[das11209]

Fantastic game - go CC and Cleveland.

[jacksonianmarch]

this game was much more of a must win for you guys than it was for Anaheim. Friday's game is a distinct advantage with Escobar facing DMats. A win by them gives them home field and sends the sox to the west coast with the chance of not coming back. But, if you guys take fridays game knowing that Beckett looms again as does fenway, then this series is pretty much over.

I have a feeling DiceK is going to come up huge. His era is in the low three's when he has 6+ days of rest which is what he will be working on. He was really good in 2 out of his last three starts as well. Escobar does scare me, but he can be hit. I think Friday is a toss up. The Red Sox always have a great chance of winning any homegame.

Advantage for them? I don't know, since Escobar's shoulder starting bothering him he's been terrible, aside from his most recent start against the A's.

[Rodney Harrison]

Congrats on the CGSO by Beckett, his second consecutive CG in the postseason.

 

Make that five straight CGs against LA of Anaheim in the postseason. We don't see too many of these anymore.

[jacksonianmarch]

and aside from a game against the weak hitting twins, DiceK has been putrid of late as well. Even with that 8IP 2ER performance, his Sept ERA is over 7. Hell, I hope you guys do take it. We cannot beat those f***ers and we can beat you. So win away.

Don't write off Cleveland.
