Join in here to talk about today's playoff games. All times Eastern: Angels at Red Sox 12:07, Yankees at Twins 7:07 pm, Phillies at Rockies 10:07
Dodgers won entry to the NLCS yesterday.
3 outs, Yankees up...still 2-1 Yankees.
Rockies-Phils has started on TNT...barely above 30, “snow expected in an hour”. They showed a Philly Fanatic doll in a block of ice.
Punto’s base-running mistake dooms the Twins...?
LOL love the doll thingie...
Yes, another Twin mistake to give the announcers something to repeat over and over again.
Another walk, bases loaded, another pitching change by
Ron Gardenhose.
Gardenhose...LOL.
Yanks UP and UP 4-1 1 out bases loaded.
Phillies up 1-0 it says on bottom of screen. Maybe I should just turn to TNT. This game’s over.
Yeah one of my funny nicknames for players...
and managers
Rockies have runners at corners nobody out
bottom first
Phil up 1-0,. for now
Twins got out of the loaded bases....bottom of the 9th...4-1 Yanks still...I haven’t decided if I want to watch Phillies/Rockies yet.
fielder’s choice, run scores tied at 1
...and Al Franken just ran on the field.
Col takes 2-1 lead
Yanks win, advance...
Homerdone, done.
Probably was him but guy looked fatter.,..
The Boston Herald occasionally prints a list of the highest paid players. The Red Sox only had a few, like J.D. Drew,
but it was chock full of Yankees. Buying a championship?
If so, then it was so pleasant for Sox fans in 2003 to see that the team which beat us in the ALCS (barely), NYY, went on to lose the World Series to the low-payroll Florida Marlins :)
(featuring Mr. Mike Lowell and Mr. Josh Beckett.)
Also he was “our” guy then, but I do fondly remember
Johnny Damon’s grand slam vs the Yanks in game 7 of
the 2004 ALCS...
From Boston Herald:
>>In less time than it takes to eat a Fenway frank, Ben Deschene, 25, of Presque Isle, Maine, went from high-fiving his buddies to staring glumly at the field, watching the Angels dance in their dugout.
>>“I’m speechless. I’m completely heartbroken and deflated, said Deschene, who drove seven hours and spent $300 on his ticket. “They’re a team that usually pull these type of games out. Papelbon is Mr. Clutch, but today he just didn’t have his stuff.” ”
>>But Dave Olsen, 57, of East Granby, Conn., had a favor to ask the Angels. He snagged Angels shortstop Eric Aybar outside Gate D and begged, “You guys beat the pants off the Yankees.”
Still 5-4 Philly in the 7th
Carlos Gonzales of Col. leads off the home half w/ a double
