Too stressful. I can't sit here and watch every pitch during a 7 game series, I'd lose it. I need to take a break to keep it together.

 

I'm the opposite, I hate missing anything and I have to because the Air Force is a demanding mistress.

So seeing as I didn't watch the game tonight, does this mean I'm gonna have to take one for the team from here on out?

 

You and me both dude. The Sox didn't to s*** until I stopped watching the game.

[Navafan29]

That game was okay, I guess.

It has been the opposite for me.. they always play s***** when I watch but tonite I start watching and victo breaks the no hitter...turn it off and we are down 5-1 switch it back on and papi ties it...had to watch the game

No offense at all, but your posts are kind of weird sometimes.

Finally ready to sleep. Night all

Mad props to SFF for exploding mojo juice all over the tigers tonight.

Holy s***

In a lot of ways these games are very different, but this game reminded me a bit of G5 in 2008 vs the Rays. The Sox just looked absolutely toast ... and then boom. Unbelievable game, unbelievable series through two games.

Leyland over managed that game and it bit him in the ass. I don't know why he went to Smyly for one batter than brings in his D league closer to face Papi. Papi hit .330 vs righties this yr and Smyly had been death a lefties. I just for get that decision to burn Smyly vs Ellsbury and pull him after that one AB.

Benoit had a 2.01 ERA this year, 1.73 ERA in save situations.

 

Do you watch baseball?

 

Put your sig back up, bitch.

Sure. I guess you find things like this pretty common.

I watched that homer six times, and I didn't even notice the cop with his arms up until the 5th. My eyes were that focused on the ball.

I saw the cop on the first replay shown by FOX. I hadn't realized that Hunter had fallen over until they showed him over the fence.

Nice catch by the bullpen catcher too. How the hell did he see that ball from the crouched position?

Please, don't ever try to tell me that there is no such thing as a clutch hitter. Ortiz goes to the plate in those huge situations as calm as if it were a Spring Training game while the pitcher is s***ing in his pants.

[rjortiz]

i will be gagging and nauseous if the sox go down 2-0, because they will have put themselves in a huge hole, but this team has come up big all season long when things looked bleak. I will not count this group out unless they are officially eliminated.

There's a story in this week's Sports Illustrated about clutch hitting. They argue that is is hard to define, which it is. In Papi's case, someone else could have gotten that hit. He just happened to be up in that situation. The whole team knows Benoit well. I have a feeling that Gomes, Nap or even Salty could have done the same thing had they been up at that time.

Boo f***ing hoo

I find it weird that jacko shows up AFTER the game turns around. I was expecting a reign of joyful noise after the Tigers took a 5-0 lead.

Benoit is his closer.

Mods should significantly extend the length of the sig placement due to his breaking the gentleman's agreement regarding the sig bet. That said, he may have a legal loophole to exploit, since he's not a gentleman. Hell, he's barely a person considering he constantly moves boxes around and is a Yankees fan. U-Haul truck with an "I

[Brennan]

I just don't understand how after reading fifty posts of people going off and being excited about THEIR FAVORITE TEAM on a website dedicated to them, that he thinks that someone would want to read..... Leyland out managed himself.... I can't believe that he would be so stupid.... Blah....blah....blah.....

 

 

How miserable and lonely would someone have to be? He should be grateful that none of us are smart or driven enough to get a job so that his life can be full with the goal of feeding our children off the sweat of his back.

He's suns...

 

He only shows up to rain on the parade and squelches on bets.

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

Jacko needs to have his sig time extended, I agree UN.

[Brennan]

Extend the sig line another season. He went in and changed his avatar, saw the sig line and said "eff these bitches".

OK. "There is no such thing as a clutch hitter." What so-called clutch hitters do (and Ortiz is one of them) in big moments is the SAME thing they do in all other situations. Ortiz is a .300 hitter. So about a third of the time he will get a hit, regardless of the situation. In the two games so far, he has succeeded far less than that; he had plenty of opportunities to tie the first game and failed miserably. So in a sense we agree: it's not that there are clutch hitters (statistics show there are not); but there ARE hitters who consistently choke in those situations. Ortiz isn't one of them. Even more remarkable was Manny, who didn't seem to give a rat's butt what the situation was, and consequently did as well in big moments as small ones.

And have jacko work some overtime too, my kid needs new shoes.
