VA Sox Fan

Another good game. 3-3 bottom of the 10th.

The media decided to make Buckner and Bartman the goat. As in every aspect of this world, the media has entirely too much power. You had 2 extremely passionate fan bases always looking for an excuse and the media fed on that. The Bartman documentary was good and if you didn't see the Buckner episode of Curb Your Enthusiam you should check it out, it was hilarious.

Am I the only one watching the game?

Yes it is.

When has Varitek been a jerk?

Exactly.

You reacted to Verlander's not pitching well during the early part of game one. If he had been pitching well, would you have predicted the Tigers getting swept? You reacted and then predicted.

There is nothing wrong with making predictions prior to a series but reactionary predictions during a game are annoying.

3-2 Anything can happen in the play offs Scherzer didn't give up a hit until the 6th in his last outting against the NYY. Just stop with the premature prediction crap. The weather does suck quite a bit.

I do. They also have Scherzer. Rain delay....UGH!

I think that's a bit of a stretch this early in a 7 games series. Don't you think?

What makes you think La Russa would want to leave St Louis?

Wasn't expecting this from Verlander. Not getting the calls he wants. Texas bats are very alive.

:thumbsup:

Yep and doesn't sound nervous. Come on Verlander, settle down.

Oh and he's doing "color" So far so good.

W and Laura in the house! :thumbsup:

Good luck and go Tito! Francona nervous before his Fox debut Posted by Peter Abraham, Globe GBy Peter Abraham, Globe Staff ARLINGTON, Texas — Terry Francona, looking sharp in a dark suit and a green tie, admitted he was nervous about calling tonight's game on Fox. He's counting on Joe Buck to carry him through. "I wouldn't have done this without Joe," he said. "I've known him since Triple-A. He says he'll get methrough it and I trust him. He said he has a multi-year deal, so I can't take him down." Francona talked to three writers from Boston about a few topics: Has it settled in that he's not the manager of the Red Sox? "No. I still catch myself saying, 'we.' It's hard to go eight years and say 'we' and 'us.' ... I've had to do a few things but I've tried to kind of lay under the radar a little bit and let it go away." His perspective now, does he look back and think of things he might have done differently? "I think I did thatwhen we were doing it. I think it's hard as you're emotional. Any time you're emotional it's hard to look at stuff. I'm sure as I get less emotional I'll have a better perspective but I'm not there get. Then [the opportunity to go on Fox] came along and I kind I dove it into it. I don't want to embarrass myself." Any disappointment not getting the White Sox job? "No. I knew. I knew. I didn't know who, I just knew they [had somebody else]." Is he keeping track of the Red Sox? "I haven't the last couple of days because I've been on the run. I went down to New York the other night to practice [for Fox]. And then the [Yankee] lost so I got on a flight the next morning." Does he think Theo Epstein will leave? "I don't know. None of my business." On his future, will he take some time off: "I don't know. Again, I just don't know. That's something I'll have to sit down and take a deep breath and try to make a good decision. That's not an easy decision to make a good one. I took that year with Cleveland [in the front office] and it was probably the best thing I did. There will be some people I want to talk to, just for advice and things like that. See what makes sense." Could he be a bench coach? "I don't know. First of all, you don't know what's available. You don't know what people want. I don't know. Sometimes those things kind of rise where somebody will call you and say, "Hey, you interested in this?' and it kind of gets your juices flowing. It's still a little early for me." Does watching the postseason instead of managing in it upset him? "Yeah, except I'm so nervous about what I'm doing. I don't care right now, I just want to get through this. I watched the games the other night. You get mad. You want to be there. I think people can probably understand that." Could TV be in his future? "No. I hope I have fun. I want to have fun. I'm more comfortable in uniform and I always will be." On connecting with his former players: "A little bit. Bits and pieces. But I've been moving around a lot. So not really. Some texts and stuff like that."
