Thunder

Yeah, this coming from the same people who less than a week ago said we were doomed and would be lucky to sneak into the Wild Card

Yeah, but it's his time of the year. He gets one two month long period per year.

So, Pablo hit an absolute bomb tonight in Chicago... Go figure

Wow, if this is the score when I actually go out and be social, then I gotta do this more often

Can't wait to see Remy again!

Need to sweep the A's coming up this week, and then the Reds the week after that.

With no UConn football this weekend, this is a Red Sox kind of weekend for me, at least until Sunday. Win. Dance. Repeat. x3

Yes. That is why I hate people. I was always told growing up to listen to your coach. If he tells you to go and you're out, it's his fault. If he doesn't say anything, he's an idiot.

Is two in a row too much to ask? Win. Dance. Repeat. x2

I think the best punishment would be to just ban us from the playoffs. Just put us out of our misery now.

Better get this one

Suck. Dance. Repeat.

Don't get me wrong, I'm in the same boat. I watch the Sox everyday during the fall, except Thursdays, Saturdays, Sundays, and Mondays. Once the playoffs start, things get a little tricky though.

I really liked Schilling as well, but I just don't see how announcers can be terrible. I don't have a problem with ESPN. They're very knowledgeable. I think a big reason why a lot of you here think they are biased is because they are actually impartial. The NESN guys are supposed to be relatively biased towards the Red Sox. ESPN is supposed to be neutral, so when they talk about the Yankees, it really strikes a cord with you people, because you've spent years watching broadcasts that are 100% biased. Now, I'm not saying ESPN is completely unbiased, because that's impossible. But especially for you, Spud, just stop and think a minute. Every Patriots game is on national TV, because, well, every NFL game is. I'm sure there are a lot of people out there that think the announcers are incredibly biased towards the Patriots, but you don't see it, or you just don't care, because it's your team. Even still, every NFL game I watch gives each team equal air time and equal discussion time. Good sportscasters on a national level are supposed to spur discussion amongst the analysts. That involves taking time to talk about each team individually. It's not fair to direct anger toward ESPN. Either get mad at everyone, or get mad at nobody.

I guess you didn't see the post, on the same page of the thread no less, that said that I was kidding.

It's important to note that I was kidding. While I will be the first one to admit that I love football far more than baseball, the MLB postseason is set up so that it only minimally invades the NFL schedule, which is actually pretty easy to do, since games are basically only on one day a week. I have time set aside for both. October is my favorite time of year. Playoff baseball, height of college football season, NFL starts getting fun, the weather starts getting cold, and oh yeah, my birthday.

Agree to disagree

And even if we do fizzle out, who the hell cares? It's football season

Yes. Sox-Astros ALCS. Cleveland is too hot right now. They're going to fizzle out like we did. Baseball is a game of ups and downs. I genuinely believe we will take them if we matchup in the ALDS. If it's Sox-Astros ALDS instead, that makes things a little harder, but I feel like we got it covered.

You do realize they were probably going to make it anyway...?

This is what I hate about you guys. We have one horrible night, through both our fault and the umpires, and you guys automatically think we suck. LOOK. AT. THE. f***ING. STANDINGS. YOU. DUMB. f***FACES.

Yes I would be, because it won't happen

We'll get hot again. Still got 3 with OAK and 3 with CIN

Wow

I've agreed with you since the 3rd inning!
