Youk of the Nation, Who says I am a Red Sox fan?

Youk Of The Nation, You are very mean. Did I deserve being called asshat? So I got some facts wrong. Yes, my name is really Derek.

>Ask Guardians fans and A's fans dont get excited after 1 game Right when the Guardians beat up the Mariners badly in 2001 (the Mariners that had a record number of wins), the Guardians still lost the series and their bats went cold... And Game 3 2003 ALCS, the Red Sox got walloped 17-8. Only to then go on a 7 game winning streak...

Sweet he did it.

Please PH Olerud for Millar right now....

Good HR Manny, WISH someone else was on base, but I will take it....

Tito is conceding this game already. I am convinced. He's looking ahead to tomorrow. Er um, I wish he would see the implications if the Guardians do mount a comeback today.

Cleveland has to lose today so if we lose today and win tomorrow or lose tomorrow and today. We still have a chance to make Wild Card. Boston Globe summarizes it well as I keep referring to it. Playoff scenarios October 1, 2005 The Red Sox tied the Yankees for first in the AL East with a 5-3 win last night and moved one game ahead of Cleveland in the wild-card standings after the Guardians' 3-2 loss to the White Sox. A look at the possibilities for the AL East and wild card going into the weekend (the White Sox have clinched the Central and the Angels the West): If Sox 2-0 and Guardians 2-0: Boston 96-66 NY 94-68 Cleveland 95-67 Red Sox win the East and would host the Guardians (wild card) Tuesday at Fenway. If Sox 2-0 and Guardians 1-1: Boston 96-66 NY 94-68 Cleveland 94-68 Red Sox win the East; Cleveland and New York would play a one-game tiebreaker Monday in Cleveland for the wild card. If Cleveland wins, it would open against the Sox at Fenway. If New York wins, the Yankees would open at Chicago and the Sox would host the Angels. If Sox 2-0 and Guardians 0-2: Boston 96-66 NY 94-68 Cleveland 93-69 Red Sox win the East and would host the Angels Tuesday; Yankees would be the wild card and play at Chicago. If Sox 1-1 and Guardians 2-0: Boston 95-67 NY 95-67 Cleveland 95-67 The Red Sox and Yankees play Monday in New York; the winner will be the AL East champion. The loser plays Cleveland Tuesday for the wild card. The Guardians would host the Yankees, but play at Boston. If Sox 1-1 and Guardians 1-1: Boston 95-67 NY 95-67 Cleveland 94-68 The Yankees win the AL East because of a better season-series record against the Red Sox (10-9) and the Sox will be the wild card and play at Chicago Tuesday. If Sox 1-1 and Guardians 0-2: Boston 95-67 NY 95-67 Cleveland 93-69 The Yankees win the AL East because of a better season-series record against the Red Sox (10-9) and the Sox would be the wild card and play at Chicago Tuesday. If Sox 0-2 and Guardians 2-0: NY 96-66 Boston 94-68 Cleveland 95-67 The Yankees win the AL East and the Guardians are the wild card. If Sox 0-2 and Guardians 1-1: NY 96-66 Boston 94-68 Cleveland 94-68 The Yankees win the AL East and the Red Sox host the Guardians Monday in a one-game playoff for the wild card. If Sox 0-2 and Guardians 0-2: NY 96-66 Boston 94-68 Cleveland 93-69 The Yankees win the AL East and the Red Sox are the wild card and open at Chicago Tuesday.

4-1, white sox. 3 run HR by Iguchi

It's a tie game with Cleveland and Chicago... Top of 7th inning, 1 out.

Stanton is in...

Ok, I guess Tito is keeping Wake in..

Postseason 2004, I couldn't handle Buck or McCarver. They can't call a game. They are so biased. Heck, Buck is just as bad calling NFL games. I put the volume on mute and listened to the call WEEI or ESPN sports radio.

Playoff scenarios are very confusing. I am using this URL for all scenarios.. http://www.boston.com/sports/baseball/redsox/articles/2005/10/01/playoff_scenarios/

The pitch count for RJ is what will make me more hopeful. He struck out Nixon and Mirabelli quickly. Graffanino and Damon fought hard too. 45 pitches..... If we get to their middle relief, it will be even better..
