Red Sox vs Yankess game (gulp) SEVEN

[M@]

Your attention please, ladies and gentleman, welcome to the Game 7 Thread.

Starting this one early. I'm actually feeling better today than yesterday, maybe becuase no matter how it turns out: The Red Sox did not go quitley into that good night.

Derek Lowe takes the monud, and I saw him in person dominate Game 4 - but I go back and forth liking and disliking him, kind of like Belhorn.

Wearing my Red Sox hat to work... not getting a badly needed haircut... almost decided not to buy a 12pack of Harpoon "Winter Warmer" last night becuase that's "After Baseball Season Beer," but then I realized I was taking it too far.

Now the question is WHERE to watch the game. Probably in my living room, as Suzy is supposed to goto a friends bday party - and I told her, you might end up being all alone at that party.

Watching it in my livingroom - I have a feeling going out and getting a comfortable seat with a good view of a TV is going to be pretty hard here in Beantown. My couch and TV, however, are perfect!

Plus I am so tired, I will likely crash on that same couch immediately as the game concludes!

Go Sox!

I had never thrown anything at my TV before in my life - but I had a t-shirt in my hand when that happened and threw it... then took my hat off and threw it... now I understand how TV's get broken... good thing my beer wasn't in my hand!

I still can't get over the Ump callig him safe when HE NEVER EVEN TOUCHED THE BAG!!!!

Thank God there is more than one ump on the field...

I heard Steve Palermo (ex -ump, on MLBs ump comittee) discussing the safe call. It was correct according to him. The ruling is that he was not tagged out, and went past the base. The play was the tag and that was "safe" but the play was still alive. Now Steve also said that, A-rod continued to second, and f the Red-Sox appealed (threw the ball to first). A-rod would have been declared out.

LOL!
McCarver is suffering the onset of dementia, " the walk is as bad as a homerun"
I still think Sean McDonough is a better announcer than Buck, and was pissed when Buck took over. I still think Sean's call of Joe Carter's walk off world series clinching home run is the best call I've ever heard.

Leiter, on the other hand, is the only one who has provided insight into things.

Follow the game threads on Son's of Sam Horn. They are a riot, riveting, insightful, crude, and worth a look....

Yeah gimmie Jerry and Al Leiter...or better yet Kurt Gowdy has been at all the games...get him to do the Call with Al and Jerry holding up the Color

Joe Buck is a dork. Last year during the playoffs he said, "I think the team that gets the most runs is gonna win this." And my remote control has no "SMACK" button...

First the cowbell song and now this image.

Jess asked me why I am so caught up in baseball all of a sudden....I said I am doing it for M@.
