BASEBALL 2009 ~ The PLAYOFF RUN
 

Well TEAM mean 'ol Ruth shut us down again :carrot:

I love it when we post 500 to close the thread!

You are all awesome!

We are playing BIG BIRD again tonight....

a team on the rise

vs.

a team sinking quick :(

Re: Sinking Quick
 

Yep, tell The Nation about THAT, LOL.

We might get October off.

SweetCaroline - should we hang on to those reservations at the Ritz?

Thank you Gary... I saw the 'closed sign' and figured you would be along any time to get us going again..

Nail biter here tonight with Toronto... its 10-9 Boston in the 8th...:(

So I have a little debate going with a guy I work with...
Do you think 'home-town' announcers to be team-neutral ? or root for the home team ?

ROOT FOR THE HOME TEAM!

or get a new job!

The Play-Off Run I like it.

The St.Louis Post dispatch is reporting that Smoltz will be signing with the Cards.

:( Not going so well tonight.

------------- Rut Ro.... I will be back later... I have to go bite my tongue...

Now William...:soap: Let us not forget these are the World Champion Boston Red Sox... and as die-hard members of RSN... we must keep our chins up, our heads held high... and stay positive.. Because it's simple, starting with NY this weekend everyone else's bats will turn to rubber and the balls to grapefruit :rofl: No prob... we'll be fine... :bike:

:hug:

Hang in there SWEET-C ~ BILL and NATION!

So far so good for me tonight...but remember our closer can't close!

Caroline you are tied in the wild card race. Take deep breaths.

Gosh you're playing the Yankees again, seems like you are always playing them.

Umpires?
 

Announcers is easy, Root for the Home Team

The more difficult question, what about Umpires?

Oh good one Bill. Ha!

Rockies won, by the way! It was really close. Hope we can do well again tonight.

Good question Bill... to me, it depends on the call... :rofl:
Clydegirl... Smoltz is going to be in the pen ? It kinda bums me out that he would have no part of the RS pen... I guess things change when your a man without a country...

We go against Halliday tonight... hmmm... hope we can tucker him out early.

We are playing the Yankees this weekend, we play them 19 times each season.. which is not so great news at the moment... The awesome news in RSN is Jerry Remy will be back in the booth on Friday to welcome the Yankees back to Boston !!! :goodvibes

The guy disappears for days then comes back with this...

OUTSTANDING!!!

I know it... he's pretty quick huh ?
I think we do need to speak to him about his attendance. :gossip:

Gary... I'm so sorry, this is horrible timing... Sox seem to be pulling together a little, still down 7 LOL... I hope you guys snap out of it. (sorry Clydegirl) it will be a race to the finish for you guys... one of you will be coming to the East Coast ...

We've got some pitching on the way back, Wakefield (knuckle-baller) has a herniated disk in his back and bad hammy can't run well, but he's coming back anyway...
We've had guys going home because they were expecting 1st child, the nerve.. :rolleyes: :lol:

On Tuesday we were down to two men on the bench, no replacement catcher and we've had pitchers pinch-run...:dizzy: LOL

43 games left :yikes:

Well, I guess a win is a win. We can just barely stay ahead of the Nationals each game, but I am happy we are getting the W's. One more game with them, then we have to face the Giants at home. (after that... the Dodgers... ooooo!)

I'm a Rangers fan but it's been really hard this week considering they keep blowing their sizable lead after the 5th inning. :rolleyes:

I'm just hoping they can pull it together enough to squeak past Boston for the wild card.

Hi guys I'm back. Had to drive up north to drop off dd at college.

Well, well. We won the series against those Dodgers :)

Smoltz was signed and will be starting Sunday against the Padres. He has to be better than our 5th starter. Hopefully Dave Duncan can work his magic on him.

Hi TXJess welcome to our baseball heaven.

---- :welcome2: Welcome TXJess, nice to see an AL poster... I'm a Boston nut... a few Sox fans here, mostly NL... Cards, Dodgers, Colorado, Mets... hope you come on back... it should be an interesting Sept...

Bill... hope you're ok

Confirmed tonight there will be hockey at Fenway Park... yup... no kidding..

Enjoy your games everyone... :corn:

Sincere best wishes
 

Welcome. It's nice to have a Rangers fan onboard. I'll be cheering for you guys to come in no further down then second in the wild card race.

[And no further up than second also, LOL.]

We wish your Mr. Smoltz all the best. We sent Manny to the Dodgers and Gary has been very pleased.

Yep, diverted by RL a bit. A win last night got me feeling positive again.

[Hey, check out what I wrote to Cyldegirl - I think I sounded more sincere than you did.]

................. :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: ya, you did Bill...

Hold your tongue Caroline.

Maybe he just did not like Fenway and or the American League :)

Believe me he has to be better than Wellemeyer.

Not trying to be a party pooper here....

I am getting sick and tired of losing the games we won earlier in the year...

you know, those 2-2 in the ninth....etc...

pitching getting thin but we picked up a headhunter from the Rangers...who dumped him!

He'll might be available on Monday... :D
If not Mr. Smoltz might be...

Good to hear...

the way weare going now we will give up more runs to the Cubs than a bad batch of beans.

You beat those Cubs Gary.

Mr.Smoltz will be just fine.

Oh boy. Up against the Giants. I hope we can push them down further than just 2 games behind us.

Good Luck Diane... :crossed: I think this is going to be a big weekend everywhere..



OT: Julie and Julia is a must see !

Feeling better after our win last night....

Will those cubbies ever win the big one?

............Second Inning... its 6-1 Yankees... you want Penny, Gary... Please take him... I'm putting him on the next plane out of here before the Fenway Faithful get to him and rip off his arms... :mad: :D :D

{Caroline mutters.. Its a game... Its just a game...} anything can happen...

Maybe I spoke too soon SWEET-C!

Basketball scores
 

15-4

Good grief.

:rofl: :rofl: damned Yankees...

Peabody Mass. is losing 10-1... it must be a Mass. Thing tonight... poor kids..
