I'm a big Braves fan and I'm proud of my boys and what they did today against the 'Sros.... that being said...
I hate the Yankees but here is some very tragic news...
http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/wire?...mlb&id=1898890
How very sad. Its a terrible shame, I have only my heart-felt prayers for the Rivera family. Even though I hate the Yankees, this has really put a different light on the play-offs. So very sad...
wow that is a shock, though it may help the team I support - Red sox - no way would anyone wish that upon anyone.
Dave, the Braves are so gonna get their asses kicked in game 5 tonight ~D
oh and it is all irrelevant, red sox's year this year - BELIEVE!!!!!!!!!! ~D
To be honest JAG, I hope the Sox win it all this year. The reason? To beat the Yankees!!! I would love for Atlanta to go all the way, but most of their starters are hurting, Chipper's hand is hurt from that a--hole Zambrano pitch, and JD just isn't hitting. But you gotta give the Bravos some love, they got further than anyone predicted.Quote:

go St. Louis! cardinals are in the national league playoffs! 3 games to 1 against the dodgers :) they may turn out to be the surprise winners this year.

They have a great batting line up - maybe even better than the Yankee's and Sox, but their pitching is not up to that of the Sox, that is the difference between all the remaining teams I think. To have a pretty much guaranteed coupel of wins in Schilling and Martinez is an awesome weapon to have, what other team can boast that? Remember the same formula - Schilling and Johnson though - won it for Arizona and they did not nearly have the batting depth the Sox have.
T'is sad, but baseball is dead in Montreal.
Our beloved Expos, usually an average team, sometimes a great team, are gone. Moved away to somewhere with more money. They played their last home game last week. And now, nothing.
Back in '94, the Expos were #1 and headed right for the World Series, then the strike hit and the season, and our possible penant, died. it was a fix I tells ya!
The real nail in the coffin for the Expos was moving them from outdoor Jarry Park to that disgusting 60,000 seat cement montrosity of a toilet bowl we call the Olympic Stadium. Worst place for baseball in the entire world. If we had kept a small outdoor stadium, about 20,000 max, we would still have our team.
Oh well... :sad2:
whelp, i'm watching the braves/houston game right now. braves are dead. score is 12 to 3 in the 8th. braves are dead.
K.
Every year they show great southern hospitality and let the opposing team celebrate on their home turf. How embarracing!!! :embarassed: G_d d*** everyone of those sorry over priced pig ####ers including Bobby Cox!!! Choke,choke, choke!!! UUuurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrghhh!!!! And of course good old Chipper Jones doesn't drive in a SINGLE run in the entire series. He should go back to cheating on his wife with nasty Hooter's sluts, he's better at it. The only Brave that played well was Furcal, and that's only because after the season was over he knew he was going to be a prison bitch. Maybe they Cox should have threatened the whole team with prison if they didn't play with some more heart. Well, I hope Raffy got a pair of titties tatooed on his shoulder blades for his new buddies in the pokey. Sorry, had to vent.Quote:

Del Arroyo , this language and comment directed toward Dave is uncalled for and will be dealt with ASAP.
Dave - Chipper Jones is so over rated imo, he is not as good as any other *star*. Now Manny.. Oh Manny! ~D
I think the Braves did well to get as far as they did, their line up is not as good as any of the other play off teams imo, to win - how many 95? - games during regular season play is far more than they probably thought at the start and during the middle of the season anyway, you have to be happy with that.
GOOOOOO BOSOX!!!
tell us what you really think, dave. quit holding back ;)
from the little i watched, it looked more like the braves just got out hit than anything else. didnt see too much actual choking, but i was only kind of half watching.
K.
:undecided:
[*mutters to self* "shit" is in, f-word out, spouting curses upon cities OK, telling individual to bleep off verböten] Got it!! Thank you for clarifying! :2thumbsup: :yes:
Hahahaha!!! The Yankees Are Winning!!!
Oh dear - top of the fourth and already 6-0 down with Schilling out of the game. :help:

Man, Curt didn't have it tonight. Come on Sox, destroy the Evil Empire!!!
8-7!! Come on Sox! Timlin needs some solid outs now so we can get in Foulke. Our bats have gone hot, we can get the 2 needed, come on lads!
ah well, on to game 2. sox lose 10 to 7.
K.
Man that sucked!!! Why didn't they bring in Foulke!?!?! Timlin? You've got to be kidding me!!! BTW Tito, I don't think Del Arroyo directed his post to me, unless there was one I didn't see. Either way, its baseball so trash talk should be allowed I think.
Hey JAG, you have to admit, when the crowd was chanting, "Who's your daddy" that was pretty darn funny!!!
I hope Pedro doesn't let it get into his head. he needs to shut them down tomorrow.
living here near St Louis, everyone is totally convinced that they are a cinch to beat the Ass-tros. I have to agree (even though i hate the Cards) that it will be a an easy series.. Why?
1. Ass-tros starters are warn out from the Braves series and the short rest that Oswalt and Clemans went through. They both pitched 2 games in a 5 game series!!! The bull pen is also sepnt.
2. When the pitching is worn out, the worst team to face is the Cards and the dominant line up they have.
My prediction, Cards in 5. Anyone else have an opinion?
Oh my prediction for the Yanks and BoSox... Sox in 6.
*raises hand like silly heathen* I BELIEVE!! I BELIEVE!! AAAAMMEENNN!!!!Quote:
oh and it is all irrelevant, red sox's year this year - BELIEVE!!!!!!!!!!
GOOOOOOOOO BOSOX!!!
Damn they fought like wildcats and I thought for sure they would come back in the 9th but it just didn't happen. We'll get those damned Yankees tonight!
The Sox will die... slowly... And in keeping with tradition will go down with a great deal of pain and anguish...
Babe Ruth ~:eek:
Bucky 'F'ing' Dent :dizzy2:
Bill Buckner ~:shock:
Aaron Boone... AARON 'F'ING' BOONE?!? ~:confused:
THE CURSE LIVES ON!!! YANKEES IN 2004!!! ~:joker: :evilgrin: :devilish:
God I hate the Yankees.
hehe, cards won game 1, 10 to 6. good game. i tend to believe cards will also win it in 5. houston and cards are both good hitting teams, but the cards have the better bullpen, and i think that's where it's going to be won.
K.
Another bad night for the Sox, oh well.... Take care everyone in whatever life brings you!!! never forget the Devastation of Daveinkorea!!!! ~:cheers:
Let's see that album cover!
Hahaha!! The Yankees Are Winning Again!!
Go Yankees!
oh my! that was embarrassing. i turned it off at 17 to 6 in favor of the yankees.
K.
Heehee, would be great to see when the Yankees sweep the series on sunday.
YES! The Sox hold for a win in the 12th inning through a home run by David Ortiz!!!
WE STILL BELIEVE!!! :charge:
wow... I think that was one of the best baseball games I have ever watched... ever...
Aw...too bad there wasn't a sweep. Doesn't matter, Sox are still gonna lose!
14th inning baby! We gonna wear those damn Yankees out!
Nice win Sox! makin a comeback! beat those damn yanks :)
One game at a time, now we just have to win twice in Yankee stadium, that shouldn't be hard.....right? :anxious:
Tk - we are in the identicle situation as last year... But we have a Schilling with a point to prove tonight and a Yankee ballpen failing as well as Rivera. I still believe.

I STILL BELIEVE!!! :charge:
Oh man, you've gotta get over here and see one of these games. My cousin has been at every ALCS game at Fenway and he says it's quite an experience.
Ah Schilling...good luck to him..I was sad when he left us...there is one other person that could do it...the big Johnson himself :)
an interesting series all around. houston has now come back from a 2 - 0 defiicit to lead the series 3 - 2. could be the year of the upsets.
K.
Yeah go Red Sox!! I BELIEVE JAG!!! ~DQuote:

A. Rod...heh, caught red handed. Good offciating to call that fiasco back.
What can I say - it is going to be our year. Far from a sweep, we get to see the Yankees weep! ~D
Man, did I ever love it when they called ARod out and brought Jeter back to first. In the replays it was such a blatant intentional "swat" I can't believe he even had the guts to argue with the ump about it. Kudos to the umpire staff for making the right call without the benefit of a replay...

All together now!
WE BELIEVE!!! :charge:
what an amazing display by the red sox and the umpire crew and what a major disappointment in the yankee trying to cheat to win, and the yankee crowd gets the poor sportsmanship award of the year for their embarrassing conduct after both reversed calls by the umpires. just appalling that riot police had to take the field in a major league baseball game.
K.
Boston's 8-1 lead going into the 7th has now been cut to 8-3 due to an unbelievably crazy, impetuous, and psychotic decision. I can't believe the announcers don't know what's going on here. Pedro Martinez has come in as a reliever when it appears he does not have to. Derek Lowe might have had another inning in him, other relievers were available, and Pedro's arm could be too tired to use in the World Series should they win this game. It's clear to me that Pedro wants to be the one to beat the Yankees and get the last laugh, and the Sox's managing is indulging him. The curse will punish them for this. Of course, should Boston actually lose, their mystique will increase tenfold. Nobody would ever underestimate the power of the curse again.
and the sox win it! amazing! first time ever that a baseball team has come back from 3 game to 0 and won a post season series. absolutely amazing.
and the cards/houston game was won by the cards tonight, putting that series to game 7. what started out as a pretty ho-hum series has turned into one of the best i've ever watched.
K.
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!
I just stayed up all night - 5.15 am now - have college in 3 hours time, but I don't care - YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
we not only beat them, WE CREAMED THEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The curse is BROKEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OMG!!! They won!!
This is unbelievable!!!
GO SOX GO SOX GO SOX GO SOX!
On to the world series, don't party too hard Pedro!
Man did you see what Pedro was doing after things started going sour in the 8th? Damn he cranked it up, he was lookin' like old pedro, you could actually hear the ball whizzing through the air at 99 mph ~:eek:
Man it should be interesting tonight, I'm rooting for the Astros because I think the Sox have a better chance with them.
wow....what a night, there's partying by Red Sox nation all over the country, and I think I'll go join my neighbors tonight for a little Sox party! ~:cheers:
I have had a dumb smile on my face all day, it has been great. The satisfaction and just sheer happyness of the Red sox at last putting one over the Yankees, is just ... ah.
I woke my mum up with my celebrations at 5 am when it finished, she wasn't too impressed. ~D
GO RED SOOOOOOOOOXXXXX!!!

K.
The red birds are looking like dead birds :)
OMG!!!!!! It's a 4-0 sweep!
THE CURSE IS BROKEN!!!! IT'S TIME TO CELEBRATE RED SOX NATION!!!!
We believed for all these years (not that many for me ~;) ) and now finally the curse is broken.... 86 years of waiting......
I'll bet JAG stayed up all night again ~D
Man people here went crazy...rioting, making bonfires in the street, flipping cars... ~:eek:
Well we had a pretty sweet party in the street here. We shut the road down and partied till the wee hours of the mornin' in the middle of the street. We didn't get that wild though.... :inquisitive:
wow! that's gotta be a record... 8 straight games to win the series, the last 4 of 7 to win the penant (which is a record in itself) and then the first 4 of the series.
i wonder when the cardinals are going to show up to play the series. lol.

oh ok lol. :bulb: The sox won. i got a great idea LETS RIOT!!!!! ~D ~D ~D
I did indeed stay up every single game, and I was just amazed at how well the Sox played and how easy they made it seem to lift the curse. IT IS NO MORE! :D
You would be surprised at the love for the Sox over here, I think at least 50% of all baseball Supporters, support the Sox here. Maybe we just love a hard case story eh? ~D
Roll on next year, I am a huge Pedro supporter, the 5 years I have been watching baseball and supporting the Sox, he for me, has just been da man. I hope we can pay him enough to keep him.
