Official Red Sox 2007 Playoff Thread

Snore...I was asleep by the 5th.

I was right about Colorado...the layoff cooled them off completely. They will not win a game.

Boston in 4.

Well i dont think they will win a game in Fenway, either way even without the days off they were not going to win that game last night. We will learn alot about them tonite, the Indians got smoked in game 1 and came back to win game 2, lets see if the Rox can do it.

If Schilling wins tonight he is 11-2, I believe the winningest psot season pitcher with at least 10 decisions. (at 10-2 I think he has this distinction already)

He'll need the W tonight to keep Beckett from taking the post season honor from him. Already tied for 2nd in post season shut-outs & 7-2 in the post season. Could be a sweep but I wouldn't mind seeing another game pitched by Beckett.

Not even close, John Smoltz had at least 15wins to 4 losses i believe.

 

[FRITOLAYGUY]

Ahhh i have found the answer, i was correct about Smoltz and forgot some others along the way..

Postseason Wins..

Smoltz 15
Glavine 14
Pettitte 14
Clemens 12
Maddux 11

Whitey Ford
Schilling
Dave Stewart
David wells all have 10

In terms of winning %, he is number one. I think that is what he meant.

 

[GrilledSteezeSandwich]

I think Colorado is going to win tonight..

 

[thetrailboss]

Well, the 'Sox just tied it at 1-1. Schill is having a good night....but the offense had better step it up.

 

[deadheadskier]

definitely a game so far


couple of near misses for the sox - Ortiz by 3 feet for a 3 run homer and Lugo down the 3rd base line. At least they seem to be locked in....

 

[drjeff]

Lowell plates Ortiz with the RBI in the 5th and Jimenez is off to the showers! Good night so far for the sox, tougher night so far for BC football down 10-0 in the 3rd quarter. Time for a quick trip to the beer fridge :beer:

 

[thebigo]

What a great time in new england to be a sports fan. BC, SOX, PATS and (hopefully) the CELTS

Anyway, what does everybody else think about running lowell out there at short in colorado? I think the defensive downgrade would be minimal compared to the offensive upgrade.

 

[thetrailboss]

2-1 in the bottom of the 8th. Looks good.....knock on wood....

 

[Terry]

They did it! That was a close game!

 

[drjeff]

They did it! That was a close game!

Both the Sox and BC had great wins last night. I can only imagine how much alcohol was consumed in the greater Boston area last night, and coincidently how many folks are either taking the day off or starting a little slow this morning

This article, and the Emails afterwards, are hillarious...maybe it is already here, but worth reading again...

Bill Simmons is one of the best writers espn has.

This email had me rolling.

Sam P. from Stateline, Nev.: I will never be more surprised than I was when J.D. hit that grand slam. If Reese Witherspoon released a porn video with Julia Stiles and the Quaker Oats guy, I would not be more surprised than I was when J.D. Drew got that hit. Maybe Michael Moore will break the marathon record ... and I will be half as surprised as I was when J.D. went deep.

That one was my favorite as well. The Quaker Oats Man? Huh???

And the Star Wars one was funny too....

just got a bunch of pics sent to me. here are a couple of them. Apparently these were taken after the indians series in the bar Game ON! inside fenway.

 

[FRITOLAYGUY]

My prediction is a split of the next 2 and Beckett does what he does and takes all the hardware home again.

 

[Mike P.]

I got these on 10/8. I think they are either from clinching the East of after the Angels Sweep. I belive on the website they come from, they say the date. I deleted the email I had with the URL.

Just when you thought the Rockies might be back, Oki gets out of a jam & the Sox get a couple back. Pap does the rest. With Lester & Beckett it's in the bag
