RED SOX/YANKEES GAME 4 ALCS BASEBALL - Red Sox Win 3-2

Ok, rain's gone away and it's a beautiful fall evening here in Boston. I've never post anything on FR, so I apoligize in advance if I'm doing it wrong. I don't know anything about pinging or anything like that. Hope the usual suspects find this.

I hope we can move the discussion back to baseball. I'm so tired of Pedro, Manny, Zim, Garcia and the bullpen guy. I think the players have at least temporarily put all incidents aside and will return to playing the game without the extra theatrics.

With that in mind, let me say this: the idea that all Sox fans are English soccer hooligans is as false as saying all conversatives are racists. Most Red Sox fans are extremely passionate about baseball and most of us have Yankee fans as friends, neighbors, co-workers, and even spouses. The media potrayals I've seen in some cases have grossly exaggerated the truth about Boston fans. Yes, we want to win - just ONE DAMN TIME before we all die. Yes, there are a few jerks who get out of hand. But that can be found at Yankee stadium, Wrigley Field, or just about any professional sports event (except Expos games, let's face it no one is even there to fight). At the end of the day, whether the Sox are in the playoffs or 25 games out, it's all about cracking a beer, having a hotdog and enjoying life.

Play ball!

This is so far a classic duel.

Moose will choke. I rub your goat head w/sadness.

Meanwhile, I'm thinking of that chick who dropped acid for a date w/me. She was a big time Cubs fan. Died in April at age 36. She should have been the mother of my daughter, but she was a little too nutty, and a little too slutty.

Baseball and women seem to be intertwined in the life of Lavrenti. A personal observation of no mean import.

Plus you don't need as much speed on defense (i.e. the outfield), because there is not as much ground to cover.

Most was great, but was too much of a homer for me to put him in the top echelon of announcers. If you listen to Scully or Hearn, you'd have a difficult time determining who they work for.

I always took it as common knowledge that radio announcers had bias, and didn't try to hide it. Maybe it's because I'm relatively young.

Your prognostication and prediction skills now on test ...

Damn, you're either good, or lucky.

[Mr. Mojo]

Moose will choke.

Will you go to Vegas with me?

[lavrenti]

Buck was good. I liked Sterling when he was with the Braves.

[Chad Fairbanks]

It wasn't me. It was the Goat.

[demlosers]

Moose will choke. I rub your goat head w/sadness.

So far so good!

Normar is HORRIBLE! Boo birds coming out for him

[lavrenti]

AC, bro. My parents married there. I ain't going back.

[Geronimo]

here we go...

[fhayek]

One run. We can get it back.

[Chad Fairbanks]

Not if my Magic BloodyGoat Head has anything to say about it...

[Semper911]

They otta just pinch hit Varitek for Nomar next time. And let Lou Merloni play short.

He is an auto-freaking-matic out.

[RaceBannon]

Ramirez On!! One out in th 4th, BOSOX 1-0!

[JacksonCalhoun]

Nice play boone.
