My neighbor's kid says that the Red Sox are going to win, because he simulated the game on his computer 15 times and the Red Sox won each time.

I guess that settles it.

I just did a search and started a thread boy do I feel dumb. Oh well LETS GO RED SOX!!!

I just realized during dinner tonight that tonight's game could well be the highlight of my sports watching career. Bear in mind that I followed the Bruins' march to the Stanley Cup in 1972 (as a 10-year-old), the Red Sox in 1975 and 1986, the New England Patriots in 2001 and of course, all those great Celtic seasons during the Larry Bird era of the 1980s. None of those would compare to a Game 7 victory against the "hated" New York Yankees in a ALCS for the American League pennant. Hell, if they win tonight, the World Series will be an anticlimax, especially now that the Cubs are out of it.

Yes, this moment could be the very apex of Boston sports in modern history. On the other hand, it could be just another disaster like the 1986 World Series or that 1978 playoff game. The suspense will only last a few more hours - maybe not even that long.

Yankee fans are like the kids who ALWAYS get EVERYTHING they want for Christmas. They believe in Santa Claus, but they are just spoiled brats of parents with lots of dough.

After last Saturdays rumble, Clemens praised the 72 year-old Zimmer for having more energy then most 40 year-olds.

Well, Clemens is 40 years-old and has pitched about 225 innings this season. He gave it everything he had during his last two starts.

I don't think the Clemens will last 5 innings, the Yanks will lose 7 to 4 and Pedro will pitch good enough to win.

Game of the CENTURY

Game 6 of the 2002 World Series was the "Game of the Century"

Before the first pitch I want to apologize to Nomar for all the Mrs. Hamm remarks. He needs all the good vibes he can get tonight.

Homers, homers, I have much
Back are homers in the clutch

I do hit them in the park
I do hit them on the mark

I do hit them in the gap
I do hit them in my cap

I do hit them worth a damn
I do hit them, NOMAR I am

Red Sox take the lead 2-0

[IndyTiger]

Cleveland native here pulling for the BoSox. The Yankees have two ex-Indians players in the starting lineup (Wilson and Garcia), while the BoSox only have one (Manny). So the ex-Indian factor favors Boston.

Seems to me the big loser with the Cubs not making the World Series is Fox Sports. Can you imagine the TV ratings they would have pulled down with the Cubs in the Series? Would have broken any previous rating records, and would have been great for baseball.

Red Sox up 3-0 on an error

The Toothless Genius
I cannot earn much of a living,
Though why I could never make out.
That this headpiece of mine holds an intellect fine
Is established beyond any doubt.


My lack of all cranial adornment
Denotes a big brain underneath,
And if vanishing hair doesn't clinch the affair,
Just look at my absence of teeth!


Some people wear teeth artificial,
Which cost them exorbitant sums,
But I am not the sort such impostures to sport,
I am awfully proud of my gums.


As bare as the trees in December
My mouth shall forever remain,
That the people I meet may exclaim in the street,
'Ah, there goes a man with a brain !'


I may not quite rival Lord Kelvin,
I haven't yet mastered the dodge
Of propounding the claim of a Rayleigh to fame,
Or of even an Oliver Lodge.


But I know that my intellect's mighty,
Despite what my rivals have said,
For however they try they can never deny
That I haven¹t a tooth in my head.

Wow, this thread is already up to almost 600 posts!

We lost power yesterday for most of the day and night due to those high winds. I've been going through FR withdrawal! "Zelig" and I managed to catch both games on TV yesterday and last night at Mom's (25 miles away). What a heartbreaker that CUBS game was! :-(
