How about the Yankees just blowing game one at home. Did anyone else see it? The Twins should not have scored a single run in that game, the Yanks just plain fumbled the ball there. Mussina really put them in a good position to win, but ended up with the loss. I'm still a believer though and will be crushed if they bow out this early in the playoffs. Jose Contreras is my pick for the secret ingredient that propels the team. ;D My picks: AL MVP - Carlos Delgado NL MVP - Albert Pujols AL CY - Esteban Loiaza NL CY - Jason Schmidt AL ROY - Hideki Matsui NL ROY - Brandon Webb AL Manager - Tony Pena (Royals) NL Manager - Jack McKeon (Marlins)

Yeah man,
The stupid twins should never have scored anything. But it seemed to me that some other forced was at work. I mean the yankees made 3 errors (in my veiw) and each one of these errors allowed 1 run. For a total of 3. An error usually causes an advance of base runners. But not a run everytime. And the errors were rediculous. Soriano makes that throw to 3rd base 99 out of 100 times. I have t5he red sox play playoff games where it seemed they were doomed as bizarre events would occur which stopped them from winning. What i saw in game one was similar to that. But i have hoipe will crush the infidel twins and conquer their gay homeland.

I watched the entire A's/Red Sox game and boy was it good. I also summized that the Beantown Sox are doomed for failure. Why? Pitching.
Pedro. The supposed best pitcher in the AL. Can't stop the A's from scoring a few runs. B.H. Kim. A closer who cannot stop A's from reaching base in the ninth inning and gets pulled for this very reason. Scott Williamson. A closer who cannot stop the A's from reaching base in extra innings and gets pulled for this very reason. Derek Lowe. A former closer turned number three starter that is already scheduled to start game three and blows the game wide open as he cannot stop the A's from reaching base.
We have here their main pitching weapon not a guaranteed victory (Pedro), negative confidence in the bullpen, so far as to resort to the starting rotation. This leaves the game one AND game three starters with little hope as they already lost AND a no confidence vote in the bullpen.
The Red Sox are now dependent on Tim "Knuckleball" Wakefield to stop the A's from reaching base. They are putting a season's worth of hopes and dreams into the unreliable knuckleball.
Yup, the Red Sox have no hope. As soon as the A's tied the game up in the ninth, you could see they were going to lose. The A's were jumping around excited and the Sox just moped around. When the final hit of the game came, a bunt, the pitcher (Lowe) made no attempt to field it and just bowed his head in shame. The third baseman did not even make a throw to try and get the bunter out, they just accepted defeat. Red Sox = LOSERS

You know,
I have a tremednious amount of respect for the red sox. I have always felt they were a worthy adversary. Basically the yankees have been good for 100 years. The red sox have been right behind them for 100 years. Its great. No matter whta happens they always manage to turn their team arround and make a run for it. Due to supernatural powers beyond their control they can never win. At this point i really dont care if they get a world series. I mean its been FOREVER. Trading babe ruth was a bad idea but i mean enough is enough.
However all these feeling of simpathy fail me at the end of every season as morons, invalids, and boston fans start talking how the sox are gonna win it.
"Are they retarded".
Anyway, so it is good now that the red sox are ebing crushed by the discount wellfare team they call the athletics. They stand no chane againstthe force of doom they call the NY Yankees.

They're still playing, but regardless how it ends up, the A's were robbed and the Red Sox did not win shit tonight. It was really ugly.
One guy never tagged home, nor tried to, so the A's lost a run there. But the real play of the game was interference by the thirdbaseman on Miguel Tejada as he was rounding third. The ump pointed at them when it happened, Tejada threw up his arms and stopped running, but the Red Sox threw the ball in and tagged him out. It was real stupid of Tejada not to run it out, but it's hard to blame him. In all the games I've played in, watched, or heard over the years, I've never seen anything like this. The rule is, you cannot get in the way of the runner. Period. Otherwise guys would be tackling each other like that all the time and it would not be baseball. Usually it takes very little contact and the runner is automatically given the next base. Every single time I have ever seen or heard it, that's how it breaks down. Sure the defender has a right to play his position, but the way they ALWAYS call it is: get out of the runner's way or else the runner is automatically given the base. EVERY TIME. That's why this never happens, the defenders get out of the way. EVERY TIME.
The difference here was the A's taking the lead and having a rally going versus a dead rally and a tied game going into the ninth.
And the head of the umpire's organization was there and while the umps on the field were deliberating, he let slip to the ESPN reporter that they should reverse the call on the field and give the A's the run. Later he changed his tune, to cover his boys, but he was as surprised as Bud Selig - who called him to go over what the fuck was going on.
And for the Red Sox, they are a real bush league team all of a sudden. They had players tape Ted Lilly's name across their backs, trying to make their fans heckle his name. Which they did. For most the time the guy was on the field. That straight bullsh*t that I've never seen float anywhere, ever. Disrespectful. It's like they knew the fans weren't going to root for them, since they were not doing shit, so they tried to get them to root against the other team. That is garbage.
Their manager should be fired. For letting his players taunt the other team. For using his game three starter in game one. For coming out and saying that Pedro WON'T pitch the next game, they're saving him for the last. Well, if the A's win tonight or the next game, there is no last game. Wasting their top weapon. What a fukking moron.
I hate the Red Sox again. They used to just be pieces of crap to laugh at, but now they are really shit wrapped in fake gold plating, trying to pretend like they are contenders. They are not. They suck ass. Constantly. Fuck the Red Sox. Forever. They deserve it, because that is exactly what they do to themselves. A whole organization run by idiots. They let Roger Clemens go. They let Wade Boggs go. They let Jeff Bagwell go. For nothing. Then they cry when these guys to well, while they are stuck rooting for Tim Wakefield and Jose Offerman.
Fucking losers.

One note on Babe Ruth in my ongoing propaganda for the dead man. He played with the Yankees from 1920-1934. In that time span, they went to the World Series seven times and he won four rings. Barry Bonds is rolling over in his bed tonight thinking about that. By the way, Yogi Berra played from 46-63 with Yanks, going to fourteen World Series and winning ten rings, of which five were in consecutive seasons. He is said to have shown up after a Yankee celebration in recent years and told Derek Jeter that he may have a hand full of rings, but that he needs to add another handfull to catch up. Anyway, I believe this season's playoffs is the best in a long time. All the games have been great. Extra innings, close scores. Good match-ups. Good stuff. Hard not to root for the Marlins with all the energy they bring to the park. Here's hoping for another year of Yankee supremacy. ;D

Yes yes,
Excellent post season. I like the pitching has been good all arround. Usually you get to the playoff and some pitchers just suck. Perhaps they crack under pressure but either way that sucks.
The red sox thing: Thats unbelieveable. Their coach should be shot. That whole teams been down hill since Zimmer left. YES-
As a yankee fan i cant really say this but i am gonna anyway. I get really tired of seeing Atlanta in the post season. Perhaps it would be better if they dissolved the mets and put a more competitive team in that division. HA HA AH
As far as the marlins. I mean the guys just got in the league a few years back. They already got a World series and now their shooting for more. What about the cubs. When last they won a world series Jesus christ was their first baseman.
Actually last time they went to a world series they lost to a pitcher named BABE RUTH.

I actually wrote a letter to Bud Selig about how the A's got screwed over and the whole Boston Red Sox players instigating the LlLLLLY chant. Good to get it off my chest. I avoided four letter words. Cubs v. Marlins should be good. Either way, the NL will lose big time in World Series. Any of the AL teams would threaten to sweep these guys. The best NL team just got eliminated. A's should win game five at home, but they are already down Mulder and Hudson hurt himself, so they will pose no match against the Yankees. Ahhhh, sweet success. Yankees again? Of course. *Another Red Sox=Losers note: B.H. Kim entered a game recently giving the crowd the finger. The lsat guy known for that was out of the big leagues within a year--> John Rocker. Kim is done as a reliever, the pressure is too much. Unless he gets a starting gig in Montreal or elsewhere, he is DONE. Fukcing loser. *Another Red Sox=Losers note: the only reliever with a World Series ring they have has not yet even pitched a single ball. Ramiro Mendoza of Yankee fame is riding the pine. Red Sox are STUUUUUUPID

I DO think Zito will halt the Red Sox and that Tejada will hit the fudge out of Pedro tonight. Mark me down for that prediction. More evidence that Boston is a town of losers below. You just know they tried messing with the A's. More crap from Boston. Fukking losers. mlb.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb/mlb/news/mlb_news.jsp?ymd=20031006&content_id=566364&vkey=news_mlb&fext=.jsp&c_id=mlb A's pitcher Tim Hudson was allegedly involved in a fight in a Boston nightspot Friday night and during it may have sustained the injury that led to him leaving Sunday's Game 4 against the Red Sox after one inning, the San Francisco Chronicle reported. Though the nightspot manager said there was no altercation, it was said to have occurred at Q, located near Faneuil Hall in downtown Boston. The A's were off from their AL Division Series that night and played the Red Sox at Fenway Park on Saturday and Sunday. The Chronicle reported that three sources suggested Sunday that Hudson's injury might have stemmed from the alleged altercation. According to a security guard and a member of the bar staff, Hudson got into a skirmish with a Red Sox fan and threw several punches, including one that clipped a bartender. "It was a big melee. He was throwing haymakers,'' said a Q security guard, who spoke on the condition his name not be used. "Honest to God, he's 160 pounds and it took eight big guys to hold him back,'' a staff member said of Hudson. "It was five minutes of mayhem.'' Hudson was unavailable for comment about the alleged incident on Sunday night, and the manager of Q, Noel Gentelles, strongly denied that any clash had taken place.

Boy was I wrong. That's what I get for picking the LOSERS known as the Oakland Athletics.
Situation: ninth inning, down a run, one out, runners on second and third, you're at the plate. Every player dreams of this scenario, it is quite literally the ideal clutch situation, because it is rather easy. All you have to do is put the ball in the outfield, fly out, base hit, anything and the game gets tied. Hell, a hit wins the game. THE BATTER STRUCK OUT LOOKING.
Situation: you just saw you're buddy called out on a close strike in the ninth inning, two outs, runners in scoring position, down one run. A hit wins the game. Everyone wants this scenario too, you get to be hero with a measly hit. THE BATTER STRUCK OUT LOOKING
The A's are the definition of futility. They are the nymphomaniac priest stuck on the moon. They are the Warren Sapp dietary plan. They are the Kevin Costner movie career. They are despicable.
Another update on why I hate the Red Sox. After a big collision in the outfield a bunch of them are mulling around in front of their dugout. A fan mocks them. David Ortiz responds and makes like he is going to jump into the stands before he gets restrained. The fan gets his ass kicked by security and booted. Shows the differences in non-professionalism on the Red Sox players part and the reaction by the Oakland organization that is demanded to keep order in the park. I still think Boston did not keep order at their home games with the garbage they did.
And Derek Jeter got booed when he appeared on the scoreboard to do a promotion against drugs. A bad omen for crap to come. If they pull some bullshiit against the Yankees I believe I will drive to Boston and personally beat the shiit out of Theo Epstien.

Ok, i think we have established that DKB hates the red sox. Look i dont hate them as much as you but if your banging, count me in.
So its red sox vs. Yanks in the pennant. Could it happen any other way. This ofcourse means we shall see Roger clemens last battle in Fenway. AWESOME. I hope he wins that day.
And one more time Boston stands ready to enter the big series with only the Bronx Bombers standing in their way. I LOVE IT.
The hatred is running deep as is evident in our members posts. 1 shall stand. 1 shall fall.
Let the Games begin.

Series knotted at one. Tomorrow afternoon is HUGE. Pedro versus Clemens in Boston. Last time Roger pitched there they gave him a standing ovation, thinking it was his last game at Fenway. In case you missed it, game two ended with fans at Yankee Stadium chanting "Brinnnng onnnn Peddrooo" and I was amazed at such confidence in the team that they basically called out the best player on the Sox.
I still hold to my statement that either AL team will dominate in the World Series, just how I feel. I do believe the Yanks have a huge pyschological edge and should be able to find a way to beat the Sox. In short, yes, I feel they have what it takes.
Side note: anyone else out there think that Aaron Boone the Yankee sucks entirely. He looks horrible every single pitch on every single at bat. Some guys like Soriano and Giambi get caught with bat swings, but Boone seems to only be taking bad swings. A sure-fire bet is a new batting coach next year. Guess who's back, back again? Donni Baseball. This is a serious possibility as he works out with the club in spring training and has declined the offer in the past and may reconsider. Anything to get Giambi back to a .330 hitter!
