Jesus H. Tapdancin Christ.  One friggin win and you'd think you've got the World Series all wrapped up.

Lighten up, Francis.  You and bully ought to get together--seems you two share the same brain.  Then again, it's the Red Sox Nation, so maybe all of you share a single brain.

A single, teenie, weenie, decayed brain.

I take it your an Angel's fan, huh Spark? Lemme ask ya something then.. what is up with Guerrero's burnt up batting helmet? I know O. Cabrera on my Sox has the same thing, but he was playing for LA last year too. Is it a superstitious thing or what?

Oh well... tonight the Sox go against the Ray's, so I'm gonna be hoping that they win, although I'm not expecting it.

Pretty much--he starts off with a fresh batting helmet every spring and just adds a bit as the season goes on.  Next thing you know, it looks like someone took a blowtorch to it.

All that from "That's one"  -- tsk, tsk Sparky, the nastiness is just a tad bit over the top this morning isn't it?   [/snicker]  

You know that your team was outcoached by Tito of all people,  that alone is enough for you to want to put a bullet in your head.    No pinch runner for Guerrero?   Shields pitching to Ortiz?    Seriously?  

The Red Sox did what they needed to do in L.A. (by the way I love the fair weather fans in the land of la-la running for the door when moron Guerrero tried to take third and blew the game for y'all).    The monkey is jumping hard on your boys' back right now.   The pressure is max.  

No worries on my end.   You keep trying to sell the "one friggin win" song.   It really makes this all the more enjoyable.

Brett Myers surrendered two runs on two hits in seven innings Thursday night in Game 2 of the National League Division Series.

But, years from now, when folks discuss Myers' first career playoff start, they'll remember his at-bats.

With two outs, a runner on third base and the score tied 1-1 in the second inning, Myers fouled off three typically nasty CC Sabathia fastballs and worked a nine-pitch walk, sending the largest crowd in the five-year history of Citizens Bank Park into a frenzy. After Jimmy Rollins walked on four pitches, Shane Victorino drove a two-strike cutter into the left field seats for a 5-1 lead.

No commentary from ESPN at all on K-rocked's continued struggles in the postseason.   You would never know he blew the game last night.   They concentrated instead on Paps "blown save."

Mr. regular season save king sucks in the playoffs, but you would never know if from watching ESPN.    But...but...what about that "east coast bias".......  uh-huh. 

Two down.   Hopefully Beckett is back to form.  If not they have to face Lester at home.

Jason Bay's postseason stats are better than Manny's.   You know it's all good right?   :cheersmate:

I honest to God thought they were going to pull off the win last night.    If you had a different closer you would have.

Believe me when I say that I know the feeling of getting your heart ripped to shreds.    I can't believe that no one called me on it when I pointed fingers at other teams who have records of choking in the playoffs.   You all know that the Red Sox are at the top of that list right?

We take this series we win the WS.   It is that simple.

I was pretty sure that whoever won this series takes the WS.  I still feel that way.

Looks like the Cubbies are looking at another century without a WS win. At least they kept the game close last night, unlike the prior two games.

We'll see what happens this afternoon. Hopefully Danks does a lot better than Burehle or Vasquez.

Angels squeak one out in a very poorly played game for both teams.   I had no idea where the strike zone was as it was forever changing.   

Becket's speed isn't back yet, but he worked through some rust.    The second Tito put Lopez in I knew the game was over.   

Lester is up next.  At home.

You know what I can't understand -- pretty much everyone in Boston knew that Angels were taking the lead and the series was heading back to L.A.   It was pretty much a certainty.  

Then the Angels try a suicide squeeze.   In Boston.  Are you kidding me right now?    

Tito was out-coached the second he took Lester out of the game (why in the hell he did that I have no idea).  He continued to demonstate his inability to manage a bullpen, and bam -- the Angels give him a gift tied with ribbons.  

Stupid.  Stupid.  Stupid.  

Hey Sparky, at least you didn't get swept....

Next stop -- Florida.
