No World Series Thread? Really?

Red Sox v. St. Louis Cardinals

Love my Sox, and clearly I want them to win, but the Cards are no slouches, they didn't get here by accident.  Last night is not the the way the Cards usually play...

[chiver78]

I know it's not typical, but damn if they didn't do a bangup impression of the Bad News Bears! and to hear the sour grapes today about whatever Lester had in his glove? um.....a) it was rosin, and b) it didn't have anything to do with the Cardinals not being able to catch the damn ball.

sorry, I'm having a bad day. here's hoping for a Sox win in game 2 to lift my spirits

[cael]

LET'S GO SOX!!!! I'm so pumped and so scared lol. But.... if this goes to game 7, game 7 will be played on Halloween, which is not going to equal a good time over here in Salem regardless of which way it goes. I am hoping they can get it in 5 or 6 though!! We totally got this.

I'm just sad the evil empire got knocked out early.

aren't you in CA?
were y'all dropped on your heads or something?

[chiver78]

and...mute. have I mentioned how much James Taylor makes me twitch?

[whoisjohngalt]

I don't really care about baseball, but I LOVED all the Red Sox winnings this year bc every time they did, my kids ate for free at the local restaurant.

Hope the same thing happens next year

[chiver78]

Imma just leave this here....

I bust out laughing reading the frustration from the other side. we really do have an embarrassment of riches here, especially when you realize that the last Patriots win within this decade is the oldest drought of our city's major sports teams.....and is even longer than the MLS team that shares the same stadium.

game on, Boston.

[Malarky]

And Papi puts a 2 run shot ovah the green monstah...

Suck it Joe Buck,  you never liked us anyway and you've made that abundantly clear...

[chiver78]

Malarky, cael, cawiau, and anyone else in the area, I'd love to welcome y'all to my house Sunday night for Game 4. I've got a hockey game in the afternoon, but it's nearby and well clear of the 815 start.

[cael]

Thanks chive, I'd love to but I'm at a friend's party most of Sunday in Malden. I'll let you know if anything changes because DH is working that night and what fun is it to watch a WS game alone?!

So bummed about last night. DH was bitching at the TV the whole game, "why'd they take Lackey out?!?!" "Why aren't they putting the Japanese guys in!" "if anyone would godamn hit we might get back in this!" ugh. At least it's only game 2. Still confident!!!

My husband likes the Yankees, Bears, Avalanche and he used to like the Knicks when he watched basketball.

I don't like any of the California teams except the 49ers...  HATE HATE HATE Raiders and Dodgers... boo! 

OMG, I think I'm gonna have the big one over those words        And guess I should add that I am an A's fan so I wish a pox on both teams in the WS!!!! But I am watching the games. Oh, and I'm not from CA either

[cael]

gdgyva I infected you for that comment!

been a cardinal fan since 1967

went to my first game that year......against the cubbies

they played the red sox that year in the series too

great series....it was epic

funny part is, Yaz has always been my alltime favorite player, and Boston my second favorite team

but being from st louis....my heart and loyalty goes to them 1st.....

HEY! You said the O's were your AL team. Boston is your second favorite team

MM, I'm shocked!  Yankees Since when?

Boston was looking like the Bad News Bears last night.

[Deleted]

i live near the O's and we go to their games

my DW is a big fan of theirs (and Cal has always been her fav player)

sorry for the confusion

i personally root for Cards in NL, and red sox in AL 

but seeing that the O's and Sox are in same division, i dont make a big fuss over the sox (DW wouldnt approve  )

[Deleted]

Typical Red Sox fan, jump on the bandwagon when they are doing well.

my redbirds are playing incredibly....

going to see orioles this saturday night.....looking forward to see crush davis and the gang

cardinals fan for national league

orioles for american

[chiver78]

no, not a typical Sox fan. bandwagon fans are "pink hat" fans - the ones that don't have a clue what they are talking about, and snap up all the good seats. ugh.

[cael]

Pretty depressed about last night. Need to get our shit together and go at it tonight!!

At least I got to drink with chive yesterday, so the whole day wasn't a waste

[chiver78]

nah, yesterday was fun until that damn play. stoopid rule   not really sure what Middlebrooks was supposed to do to not be in the runner's way, but whatever. moving on, we'll just win one tonight and call it good.    and yes, we all need to do a MA meetup soon!


and more fun after you left us - remember the quiet guy in the striped shirt? he was on our side of the table at dinner. anyway, we got to the train to head back to Colleen's place and he mouthed off to the conductor about something (I had already gotten onboard...) and got himself carried away from the train by the T police that had just gotten off to patrol the station. Colleen jumped onboard so I wouldn't be by myself, and ended up calling her BIL to do a run back to the station to go pick up the guy and his wife. guess someone was a little buzzed!

oh, and I have managed to get almost all of the ketchup off my purse. for the record, a dish soap and seltzer scrub followed by a seltzer rinse, seems to be doing the trick. there's a couple places that it's gotten into the stitching, which really freakin sucks.    but I'll get it all. jeans and jacket seem to be okay after a run through the washer. did we have kids at the table right behind us or something? what I'm thinking is that's how it got on my jacket, and I didn't notice b/c the jacket's black. I figure I transferred it to my purse/jeans after I put the jacket on. ugh. I just can't figure out any other way that that much of it ended up all over my jacket, except when it was draped over my chair.

[cael]

Omg really? Hahaha did he get arrested? I'll have to check the police logs tomorrow lol wow. I have no idea where that ketchup would've come from, so gross. Like I said, for the time they were taking to seat people the freaking tables and chairs should've been clean! How you feeling this morning?

We definitely have to do that again sometime and get other MA peeps involved! fingers crossed for a better game tonight...

[chiver78]

feeling? fine. tired though. I crashed once I sat down to watch the game, so I ended up staying over. no arrests, either. I don't think the T police have that authority. they just weren't going to let him on any train after whatever he said. lol....  how are you feeling? it sounded like you had more to drink yesterday than you'd had in awhile too.

so um, yeah.....Malarky, Carl, GRG, Jake, and anyone else that hasn't owned up to living in MA yet. let's get on this

[chiver78]

Gomes!!!

sent from my electronic distraction

[cael]

Me? I was fine lol, long as those beers weren't fuzzy navels I have no problems with them!

Stupid Sox sending me on such a roller coaster!!! I was so depressed after Saturday, then cautiously optimistic last night after Gomes, and I know they won, but they need to start hitting better. Like, yesterday. I feel like the Cards have good pitching, but it isn't such spectacular pitching as to justify our lack of hitting. I mean, bases were loaded last night with NO OUTS at one point and we only scored one run that inning... I know it happens but I'm so nerved up over this. That was a pretty awesome win last night though! I'd fallen asleep and heard DH say something and heard a commotion on tv, lol. Let's win it at home this time!!!!

[cael]

You guys. YOU GUYS. Sox coming home to win it Wednesday!!! So pumped!

[chiver78]

it will be interesting to see if Ross or Salty starts tomorrow night.....Ross has started all three of the wins this series, Salty's been in for the losses. don't know if it has anything to do with it, but us Boston fans are a superstitious bunch. there might be PR issues for Farrell if something doesn't go right with whatever he decides.


and how jealous am I - if it goes to 7, my sis and BIL will be at the game.

[Deleted]

I'm really happy for Koji. He is a good one.

[Malarky]

All of what Dem and Cael said.

Can we please have a game that isn't some sort of nailbiter? 

Throwing a wrench in the works...is tomorrow really a good day for the president to be peddling healthcare in Boston?
