2007 WORLD SERIES - REDSOX VS. ROX

i love both of these teams so much. ;_;

rockies in 4.

http://espn-ak.starwave.com/i/teamlogos/mlb/med/trans/bos.gif in 6

the American League is so much stronger. i also hate the whole Coors Field aspect of game, though it has gotten better. games that end 10 to 11 is not real baseball, look they came back again (at home) from being six runs down. :rolleyes:

Sox in 5.

Sox in 2

rox in 4

sox in 7

Cinderellas over Evil Empire Jr. [Dane Cook's team] in 6

oh man i forgot about the designated hitter rule. so youk benched, ortiz playing first?? uggh can i change my prediction

Sizox in sizx.

jesus loses interest in rockies during long lay-off - sox sweep.

sox in six

Sox in 5.

BoSox in 6 if not 5. But honestly, I wouldn't be shocked at a Rockies sweep given their run the last 22 games.

could you put manny in right and move youk to left?

this is what i do in MLB THE SHOW lol.

drew has played cf before

i think this could work! youk should go to lf, yes.

There are very few DHs in baseball the AL that I admire, but as a concept, it's hurt the game. The DH has afforded AL pitchers a false thug-bravado and security that you couldn't get away with in the NL.

-- gygax! (gygax!), Thursday, June 12, 2003 2:38 PM (4 years ago)

Few things would be finer than seeing Beckett get an asskicking Wednesday, but I don't expect to see it.

Youk played 18 games in LF in 2006 and wasn't measurably worse at it than Manny. I wouldn't be surprised if they did this and/or sat Ortiz if the Rockies start Morales in Denver.

I'd give Ortiz a rest for a game or two and keep Youk in at first base. Papi's knee could use a break; Youk is locked in. You could also alternate, starting Youk against lefties and Ortiz against righties.

I wouldn't mess around with the outfield much. I don't think Youk has the speed to cover CF, and Manny needs to stay at left -- at least at Fenway, where he's made himself at home (in more ways than one) and where his lack of speed is less of a liability than it is in the vast right field.

when do we have to wait until? wednesday??? wtf!

Computer generated steam locomotive breath.

I'm not far from believing that the Rockies are computer generated them ownselves.

Fox is covering WS so Drew Carey Show theme segue into commercial breaks will be replaced by Bob Seger or ?

I forgot how cuet the Red Sox logo is. Maple Leafs in 8.

Joe Walsh
John Denver
Big Head Todd and the Monsters
Anything by U2 from Red Rocks

Bob Seger?

The Rockies are the only NL team with a winning record in interleague play each of the past two years. They pounded both Beckett and Schilling earlier this year (but got shut down by Wakefield).

sox cant really pitch wake in the thin air can they

wait, don't they go by the league rules of the home team? meaning they only have to figure out where to put Ortiz when playing at Coors?

yah

and anyone suggesting sitting papi in rado are completely craaaazy - i think we'll be seeing youk in right

i also hate the whole Coors Field aspect of game, though it has gotten better.

colorado has gotten.....lower?

I would love to see Dice-K up at bat.

do pitchers hit in japan?

colorado has gotten.....lower?

no but they put the balls in a humidor.

i saw it on teevee.

i went to a rockies game once - they have trees in the bullpen

Bob Seger?

& The Silver Bullet Band? (a stretch, I know)

John Denver OTM

& The Silver Bullet Band? (a stretch, I know)

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

Seger for "Like a Rock" -- amirite?

Once errors started happening, Detroit last year got "Oops! I Did It Again."

sox in 4

"not real baseball" in five posts, amazing.

A qn for Shasta but I do know that they sometimes run in a zigzag fashion.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Aw8iF9Zxaz0

in japan in 2006 interleague play matsuzaka went 3 for 9 with a double, 3 rbi, 2 runs scored, and a strikeout.

In Japan, the Pacific League adopted the DH in 1975. In 1988, the minor league Eastern League and Western League used it, but Central League farm clubs are allowed to opt out. The Central League never used the DH until interleague play began in 2005, when they used a DH on the road against Pacific League teams.

(matsuzaka played in the pacific league)

lol that video amazing

Rockies in 4.

Sox in 5 with the Rockies gaining the slightest false hope in game 3 or 4 but ultimately being clearly beaten. I hope I'm wrong though, so so wrong.

rockies in 6

colorado has gotten.....lower?

no but they put the balls in a humidor.

Todd( Coralville, IA): I think the Sox need to seriously consider playing Youk at SS in the games at Colorado.

Rob Neyer: No. There's a rule -- unwritten, yes, but still a rule -- that says you can't play shortstop with a porcupine on your face.

Vincent (Chicago): Is it too much of a risk to start Wake in game 2 and then game 6? His knuckler is likely to get crushed in Colorado so better to keep him in Fenway. Plus that would set up Schilling (or Beckett on 3 days) for game 7.

SportsNation Rob Neyer: I haven't been paying attention (yet) to the announced plans . . . I'll be surprised if Wakefield starts a game in Denver, due to the altitude (secondary consideration: the cold). Seems to me that Wakefield simply won't start at all.

how will you do on espn.com's Series quiz?

http://proxy.espn.go.com/chat/sportsnation/quiz?event_id=3223

Can you beat my SIX correct answers? (pitiful)

I got FOUR including the stolen base question (when in doubt, pick ________.)

Wake is off the WS roster, due to injury apparently. He says Tito wanted him to start games 2 and 6 originally.... but this would have been potentially a career-ending injury if he pitched in WS.

So it's Beckett, Schilling and Dice-K for 1,2,3. Lester is "stretching".

Oh, and Crisp's knee still hurting from the last out. Enter Ellsbury.

Wake sounded like he was choking back tears at the podium.
But maybe I was just imagining it.

Who replaces Wake on the roster?

tavarez?

8 right (lots of guessing)!

rockies in 5

lol giuliani what a cunt

BOS in 6

“I will be rooting for the Red Sox because I’m an American League fan, and my tradition has been to root for the American League team, particularly if it’s a team that beats the Yankees. And in this case, you won the division and we lost.

I'm a Cardinals fan, and there's no fucking way ever that I'd root for Houston or (yeah right) Chicago in a World Series. 2005, I was pulling for the White Sox all the way.

(And I'm a National League guy in general, fwiw.)

yah in the grand history of guiliani bullshit this has got to be nearly the most transparent

I guess I am a Giuliani ... I don't really hate the rival teams in my division much, and like a lot of players on a bunch of those teams.

No problem rooting for a division rival (or a league rival that is not the Yankees) during a Tigersless postseason.

The Rockies told Rudy he's not a goodnuff Christian to root for them

no see this isnt abt the relative merits of routing for divisional rivals - this is abt guiliani being ridiculously disingenuous - hes got infinity hate in his heart - theres no way some of it isnt specifically reserved for the red sox

i'm sure that it was pure coincidence that he said this in new hampshire

poor Tony Pena will have his perfunctory minority-candidate interview overshadowed now.

how hard will it hafta rain tnite for a postponement?

Nate Silver: "the Red Sox are perhaps the strongest Secret Sauce team since divisional play began, excelling in each of that metric’s three categories: defense (FRAA), closer effectiveness (WXRL), and power pitching (EqK9). Using our nifty new Secret Sauce reports, I recreated my study from Baseball Between the Numbers and ranked the 208 playoff teams since 1969 in each of the Secret Sauce’s three departments. The Red Sox sit right atop the list, and each of the four teams immediately below (1990 Reds, 2001 D'backs, 1998 Yankees, 1984 Tigers) won the World Series."

(he picks Sox in 7)

I'm holding the Cubs sweep prediction against him, possibly forever.

is it rained out yet

not raining in boston... yet!

weather map does not look good.

http://graphics.boston.com/weather/images/nxrd_ct_.png

lol

drizzling

never thought i'd hear "epitome of our culture" and "John Williams" in the same sentence.

Wow, Fox managed to find a use for Apollo 440 - Stop the Rock.

Yikessssss, man.

beckett threw 15 out of 15 fastballs in the first inning for 3 k's. all 95-97 mph.

and now PEDroia...

lugo's bat has warmed up a bit.

i didn't see a balk there...

i take it back, i saw it on that last replay.

part of me really wants the rockies to put up a challenge in this series.

rockies gettin raeped ;_;

the neverending 5th

Christ.

Eight Boston doubles ties a WS record. In the fifth inning!
Everyone except Lugo has scored a run. Everyone except Ellsbury has a hit. Everyone except Lowell has an RBI.

Ok, now I'm feeling sad for Colorado.

was that kid having some sort of seizure?

they gotta stop showing that kid

they must figure he's better TV than the game at this point.

I hope to god they don't cart the break dancing lad in for every game.

lol

xp

can we bring gagne in the 9th for some entertainment value at least?

oh goody

Gagme can blow this.

nice splitter

if nietzsche was right, christianity will serve the rox well after this game.

i turned it when ashanti came on then forgot to go back.

sox hitting .390 as a team in the last 4 games.

take me out 2 the lollgame

Uh. Ah well, back to reality. We can be the plucky little guys again.

never thought i'd hear "epitome of our culture" and "John Williams" in the same sentence.

that introduction was the perfect example of bostonian provincialism: america's greatest composer america's symphony. boston really believes this shit tooo. the hub lol.

dood he did staah woahz - yoo dont like fuckin staah woahz?

sully this fuckin guy doesnt like staah woahz!

MLB-is-TV's-whore for rainsoaked Series games isn't even funny anymore.

Did anyone hear any local sports reports that DIDN'T begin "Well, the 8-DAY LAYOFF..."

Did anyone hear any local sports reports that DIDN'T begin "Well, the 8-DAY LAYOFF..."

What are people's thoughts on this? I thought it (the LOL Layoff) must have had an effect on the pitching. Fenway isn't that intimidating.

isn't the easier explanation "Jeff Francis wouldn't be the #3 starter on most AL clubs"?

He wouldn't be the #1 starter on any other NL West team, even.

okay. i guess i feel like i don't know enough about the rockies. 3 straight bases loaded walks though seems pretty unforgivable. so the rockies are. . .overrated???

well they barely made the playoffs in the nl sooo...

but if they win 2nite theyre in the drivers seat

Que, you can't make generalizations based on a single game, at any time. However, ppl may have forgotten that it's the Cubs and D-backs that the Rockies embarrassed, neither of whom are the Red Sox.

yeah i guess it's my fault, i paid 0% attention to the NLCS just because I didn't care.

on ILBB, you bet it's yr fault

i know i know someone should ban me

Jerod (Gresham, OR): What do you think of the decision to give Aaron Cook a Series start after not throwing a single live pitch in the past two months?

Nate Silver: As I said in the playoff prospectus piece, I think it's a pretty terrible decision, maybe even a series-altering decision. Even if we were 100% sure that Aaron Cook was 100% healthy, he's still Aaron Cook, and I don't like how he matches up with the Red Sox lineup. The cutesy stuff isn't going to work against this bunch of hitters.

Yeah, because Morales looked lights out last night.

20/20 rearview, and last night was last night.

Beckett best post-season pitcher ever?

NOT JUST POSTSEASON! EVER!

Hurdle hitting Spilborghs ninth reminded of that maxim that if the DH is last, you chose the wrong guy.

ppl may have forgotten it's the d-backs who embarrassed the cubs!

people have forgotten it's the cubs who embarrassed the cubs!

I like this Clint Hurdle character.

Anyone watching?!?

Where my baseball nerdz @.

FREE TACOS 4 AMERICA!!!!

THANK U ELLSBURY

Jeff Weaver is already in line.

i'm worried about ubaldo

this eavesdropping-on-the-pitching-coach feature is really something.

Dude falls apart with 2 outs.

here's the game

the red sox have found a wrinkle in time after two outs

FLASHBACKS!!!!!

Boyz II Men?!

Seriously, they still exist?

mlb has found a wrinkle in time to 1993

I fear it's the End of the Road for the Rockies.

Har har.

omg paps giving play by play on his dancing.

I'm pretty bummed out for the Rockies.

fuck your rockies.

bb 7-2 sox i am drunk

worst postseason since 2000.

...until Rox win all 3 in Denver, of course.

putting aside my fandom and looking objectively at the thing... i must agree.

Schilling best post-season pitcher ever?

(I caught the Holliday pickoff, was otherwise asleep from the 5th on)

I am really enjoying this series. I'm just not feeling the Rockies right now.

Morbs have you forgotten 2005 already?

Poll: In what inning will Morbius fall asleep during Game 3?
1) 1
2) 2
3) 5
4) 3
5) 4
6) 7
8) 8
7) 6
9) 9

the Chisox beat the Astros, right? and Beltran had a great LCS. yes, I've forgotten everything else. The privileges of middle age!

I've been invited to a Halloween party opposite Game 3, which is one way to avoid sleep.

baseball prosnoozetus says after running Morbius PECOTA sleep simulation 1,000,000 times: 95.3% odds in inning (1).

Wasn't 2005 the year of:

1) Pierzynski reaching base on a not-dropped third strike?
2) Atlanta and Houston playing 18 innings in the LDS?
3) The longest WS game ever?
4) Yanks and Angels playing a pretty good 5-game LDS, thereby kicking the "ARod is a choker" stuff into full gear?

That was a lot more interesting than anything that's happening this year.

oh, I remember some of that once prompted! The 18-inning game especially.

are there any other MLB players who wear them?

im rocking purple and orange gel lyte 3s but i am not in mlb :/

cdebrunn (harrisburg pa): Beckett has been mentioned by some as being in the same class as Koufax or Gibson. Considering they both pitched in the high mound era could Beckett actually be better?

Kevin Goldstein: This is the kind of thing that gets me way in trouble sometimes, but here goes. Josh Beckett is better than Sandy Koufax and Bob Gibson -- no question in my mind at all. That's just how athletics work. Go look at the progress of very scientific standard, like track and field or something. High schoolers run times now that would have one gold medals in the 1930. I know this might sound insane, but I absolutely believe that a guy like, say, Prince Fielder is a better baseball player than Babe Ruth was, and Scott Kazmir is a better pitcher than Lefty Grove. Compared to era, no way. But real life skill -- absolutely.

yes

TRAVEL DAY CHOO CHOO

the thing is I don't think anyone who thinks about it much doubts that humans are getting faster, stronger, etc.

Who will Rox tab for anthem as John Denver is dead?

i demand a robot world series before my death

yeah but some people think that humans arent getting any better at baseball

<i>Who will Rox tab for anthem as John Denver is dead?</i>

I think the finalists are Fear Before the March of Flames and Big Head Todd and the Monsters.

To echo the ILE missing persons thread, where is David R???

Alexandrasdad (Gtafton): Do people find the Sox moneyball approach frustrating. All these walks and balls make for winning baseball, but lordy, it's like watching paint dry.

Rob Neyer: You know what? I agree 100 percent. Believe it or not, I wrote the same thing about the A's in a book, six years ago (no, I didn't write Moneyball; *another* book). I think this sort of baseball is terribly boring, relative to, say, the baseball of the 1980s. I'm sorry to complain. I love the game, in whatever manifestation. But watching guys run up pitch counts just ain't entertainment unless they're your guys.

Derek (VT): Anybody else thinks Papelbon looks like the villian from The Incredibles?

Rob Neyer: Yes! A great Separated at Birth.

Francona's catenaccio for the diamond.

Symphonic background bullshit must stop.

McCarver: "They only moved runners along with a hit in two games -- the first game and the second game."

..until Rox win all 3 in Denver, of course.

I'll defend Joe Buck, but Tim MacGarver needs to retire.

"If [knocking your helmet off while running] worked, you'd see ... marathon runners wearing helmets. 100 yard sprinters."

No, Tim. The reason Manny knocks his helmet off while running is for the same reason you don't see marathon runners wearing helmets.

loooooooool @ gum on dice-k's hat.

god i can't wait to shave this playoff beard.

i think i've turned off the world series every time they've gone to god bless america. no sense breaking the streak now.

I hate Fox so much that I'm happy to see a sweep, even though I'd prefer a more competitive series, like six or seven games. Fuck 'em in the ad revenue, Sox, they'll feel that one a little bit.

8th inning of a game that will likely decide the World Series, and these FOX fucks can talk about is A-Rod.

^^^^^^

i do not want to see him on the red sox next year. i would like to see him on the cubs though, i wouldn't mind seeing him play regularly if it meant i wouldn't have to root for him.

Ronny Cedeno would make him play 3B. He's a better fit with the Angels.

i guess that would be better, then i'd never see him.

I've counted 7 mentions of "Red Sox Nation" in the post-game section so far, from the Red Sox ownership and also from Fox Sports personnel.

What the fuck is going on?

http://us.i1.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/p/sp/tools/med/2007/10/ipt/1193631375.jpg

Boston is the nation.

i think the ownership group tried to cash in on the long standing (and formerly long suffering) group of supporters by either somehow copyrighting the term or something. i know they printed up "official membership" cards to red sox nation 3 years ago and they were roundly rejected by anyone who knew why mike torrez was a bastard. but there are so many bandwagon jumpers i guess the ownership group sees a way to bleed a couple more bucks out of the idiots who can afford tickets these days.

sox in 4

NEW YORK (AP) -- Boston's sweep of the Colorado Rockies drew better ratings than last season's World Series but fell short of previous years.

The four games averaged a 10.6 rating, the second-lowest ever, ahead of only the 10.1 in 2006 for the St. Louis Cardinals' five-game win over the Detroit Tigers.

Game 4 on Sunday night attracted a 12.6 rating, up 9 percent from the 11.6 for last year's Game 2, which was also on a Sunday.

Game 3 on Saturday night earned an 8.5 rating, the second-lowest rating ever for a World Series game, better only than last year's Game 1, which drew an 8.0 on a Saturday.

The series attracted huge ratings in the Boston area. On average, more than half of all households and more than 70 percent of homes with the TV on were tuned in.

WFXT-TV, the local Fox affiliate, also televised the New England Patriots game earlier Sunday, and it averaged a 43.2 rating from the start of the football through the end of the baseball. When the Red Sox clinched the championship after midnight, 87 percent of households in the Boston area with the TV on were tuned into the game.

Papelbon has become a gay cult figure for his spandex dancing.

anybody watching the victory parade live on espn 360?

IT'S THE RIGHT THING TO DO AND THE TASTY WAY TO DO IT.

Great day for biking in Boston. Glorious weather, cars shying away from the central streets, and of course the "Rolling Rally" - which (thanks to my bike) I took in at a bunch of different spots. Very glad I decided to take the day off.

I was on an overnight flight from the states and thus had to miss game 4 ;_;

It's really weird that the sox won it and I didn't see it. Like it didn't really happen. Honestly, who gets married during the world series?
