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!

I was a little nervous about Wakefield leaving, but I like Timlin's chances to close out this game.

[RaceBannon]

I was flipping channels, watching a previously recorded movie, now game is on full time

What do you mean about Nomar? I havent been steady on the game until the 8th

[demlosers]

Timlin is always good for 1 inning.

Well, chocolate is the number one love potion. I know this to be true cuz I read it here.

[JacksonCalhoun]

Good job by Giambi to look at that last one. You're right, he has gotten a wide plate.

[mikemc282002]

YIKES.

[Cboldt]

Chocolate is a true love potion. It's using it with the goat that casts an unpredictable spell.

One out.

[TrappedInLiberalHell]

Bernie flies out. Looking bad for the Yankees.

[demlosers]

YIKES is right....1 out.

[Chad Fairbanks]

But this is a MAGIC goat.

[Cboldt]

Hey, Chad's the one with the goat. It might be okay for winning ball games, but dangerous to use the goat for love!

[TrappedInLiberalHell]

Posada had a pitch to hit, but didn't swing.

[rightcoast]

And he just swung on one he couldn't hit.

[Semper911]

Crowd chanting Hor-hey..

[JacksonCalhoun]

Jorge has some curious at bats, but you can't argue with the results.

[TrappedInLiberalHell]

Two out, Giambi at second. Up to Matsui now.

[Chad Fairbanks]

Is it me, or did Posada have a look of sheer terror in his eyes when he was batting?

[demlosers]

2 OUTs. Giambi to 2nd.

[mikemc282002]

Yikes again. Definitely yikes time. Im not sure I can watch anymore...
