Is it me or is tonight's Red Sox vs. Angels game just plain ugly? (starting pitching wise) I haven't watched the game fully but it looks like that every time I switch to the game, one of the starting pitchers was in a major jam.
If you want an experience, go to a Jimmy Buffett concert.
Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it.
Without trying to be funny Torii Hunter could be having the worst playoff series any player has had in recent memory. He can't field. He can't run the bases. He makes a fool out of himself jumping up and down like a 3rd grader protesting a call. I would be embarrassed.
the hit and run is as good as any religion around this time of year . . .
why the freak are they starting tonights game at 8:37???? They should start Red Sox at 4:30 -5:00 then Chicago at 8:37 at least it's only 7:37 out there.

I agree. Very Stupid.
And I feel bad for the people in Chicago, before the Red Sox game ended here was the schedule for today:
IF the Red Sox won last night the Chicago - TB game would be at 8:37ET today.
IF the Red Sox lost the Chicago - TB game would be at 4:30 today.
Imagine having tickets for the Chicago - TB game and trying to make plans for today? The game didn't end last night until close to 1am.

Because it's 5:37 in California? MLB wants to make sure they get to see the Angels?

If the Angels somehow make a comeback and end up playing the Dodgers in the World Series (not likely, but it COULD happen), the network executives will all be jumping off the top of the Empire State Building.

With that in mind, GO DODGERS, GO ANGELS.
If that happens, it will be officially football season in the rest of the country.

The Patriots aren't scheduled to play any Monday night games on the West Coast, are they?

i think they will have to get in line behind all the Wall Strret execs!!
Hey dp, do you really think the ALCS will be a "bloodbath" as you call it or do you think it's more plausible, given the intensity of the rivalry that the umpires will put their foot down before the series and warn both teams that this won't be tolerated? Probably a better question is could they do that?

This might be one of those rare situations in sports where history does NOT repeat itself. I went to the game last night (eternally grateful to BoR for that fantastic time) and stood in standing room at section 21 which is right behind homeplate. On thing I noticed is that with all the youth on the Red Sox it will be a completely different dynamic. Lowrie, Cora, Youkillis, Elisbury, Pedroia, Crisp with Papelbon, Delcarmen, Lester, Dice, and Beckett are not the guys who got into fights with the Rays every time they played a 3 game series. Rays have a legit shot at the World Series and I think my "blood bath" statement might need to be replaced with "the most well played series in the entire 2008 post season" . . . . lots of young players - mostly all guys who came up through the Red Sox and Rays minor league systems. Fantastic. Truly fantastic.

"We are way better than they are. We lost to a team not as good as us. Right now I want to throw somebody through a wall"
And he went on.....
"On Sunday they scored on a pop fly they called a hit, which is a joke," said Lackey, referring to a popup that was misplayed into three runs. "On Monday, they score on a broken-bat ground ball and a fly ball anywhere else in America in an out[except in Fenway Park]. And Pedroia's fist-pumping on second like he did something great. I am at a loss for words"
Well John, when you find those words you know where to find us.
I wonder if he took issue with KROD this season after he fist pumped and danced when he got those 3 run saves?

Why would he? (saying in an obviously sarcastic manner)

John Lackey is one ugly mother f*cker! His bottom teeth look like a line up of broken bottles. Which is especially attractive when his mouth hangs open 90% of the time...
