Red Sox - Rays ALCS IST

[Zvon]

I'm glad I have nothing actually vested in either of these teams cuz I think by now I'd have run out of fingernails and started working on my toenails.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Willie Aybar takes Lester deep to make it 3-1 Rays in the bottom of the second.

[Guest themetfairy]

You mean the seventh.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Yes, the seventh.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

How about Garza. Each of his first 7 innings ends with a whiff.

[metirish]

Gross in for defence ?

[Zvon]

Is it me or is the booth slanted in Bostons favor no matter what is actually going on?
Not Ronnie, of course. He knows when to talk and when not to.
He does not say stuff just to fill spots.
But those other two....

Buck Martinez sounds like an ornery old man no matter what he says (even good informative stuff, lol) and that other guy seems to think this Boston comeback script is already written and it's just a matter of them getting it done.

[Guest themetfairy]

The other guy is Chip Carey. Hardly the brightest bulb in the package.

Ronnie must be missing Keith and Gary big time!

[Guest themetfairy]

Top of the 8th. Bases loaded. 2 out. Yet another Rays reliever is coming into the game.

My Gawt, he is just awful!
Someone tell him this is a national telecast of a post season game and he's just supposed to observe and narrate.
No playing up any one side.

Ooo, Bradfords in.
The guy I always thought we should have kept instead of finding a unreasonable facsimile thereof.

[Zvon]

Bradford fails,lol.
Walks his only batter.

K, I'm gonna have to say it....
Just to off set the Chip Carey bugaboo.

LETS GO RAYS!

[Guest themetfairy]

The rookie Price gets the strikeout to get out of the bases loaded jam.

[Zvon]

Wow. just as I hit send on my last post Price gets that call strike three, which did not look like a strike to me at all.

Drew didn't complain though.

Looked outside to me.

Big K.

[Zvon]

Oh, they say he swung.


Note to J.D.Drew:

[Guest themetfairy]

3-1 Rays, going to the 9th.

[Frayed Knot]

Nothing like going with a Sept call-up to try and close out the pennant ... even if he was the #1 pick in the nation last year.

[Guest themetfairy]

Runner on first. Potential tying run at the plate. Nobody out.

[Guest themetfairy]

One out on Kotsay's strikeout.

Throws fire

[Guest themetfairy]

Varitek strikes out swinging for the second out.

[Guest themetfairy]

Ground out! The Rays are going to the World Series!

[Frayed Knot]

Iwamura got a nasty hop there ... nice play.

Okay, so now this statement is valid.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Price was bringing some nasty heat.

Congratulations to the Rays. I hope they whip the Phillies. They are certainly capable, but it should be a good series.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Hey, all right. The better team over 162 + 7 games won.

Hats off to the Red Sox for providing one-half of the two best series this postseason.

Go... baseball. Give me a 7-game WS please.

[Zvon]

Great game.

It'll be the Rays vs. the Phils for World Series 2008.

Im an N.L. man and I was pretty much set to have to root for the Phils, but I may change my feelings on that.

Rays:Mets...both 4 letters.
Lets Go Mets: Lets Go Rays....same amount of syllables.
Rays wear some kinda blue.....

Don't mind me.
Just trying to justify myself to myself.

I think what I'll do is just enjoy the series and root for both of em.

[nymr83]

don't forget the Rays have Cliff Floyd!

[Guest OlerudOwned]

David Price is filthy. Filthy is say.

Regardless of whether the Rays win this upcoming series or not, goodness they're going to be competitive for a long time. They're build like a video game franchise with all that young talent.

[A Boy Named Seo]

I like that the Rays dog piled the hell out of one another instead of jumping in a circle like dorks.

A+ celebration.
