Yankees 4, Red Sox 2- Final- Game 5~~~~ Formerly Live Thread [Red Sox Vigil Thread]

FOX TV

The only time you'll see a regular season offense show up in the playoffs is if it stank, or a pitcher just choked hard. Playoffs are for defense.

[Coop]

looks like Lowe has an easy 1-2-3 inning - only 7 pitches, very economical.

Or ecumenical, for the especially devout Red Sox fan.

[demlosers]

Yankees go down 1-2-3 in the 1st, which has happened in every game so far. BoSox up!

[TrappedInLiberalHell]

The Yankees of a few years ago were much more patient at the plate. This year there are so many sub-10 pitch innings against them, it's not even funny. If they don't make the pitcher work, he can go deeper into the game, making the bullpen less of a factor. I'm preparing myself mentally for the Sox to win the series. I haven't done that since 1996.

Go Sox - pulling for an "End of the World" Series...

[Republican Red]

Many were calling Nomar - "Mr Hamm" last night. Somebody on the thread then labeled him

NOMORE Hitts

[Mr. Mojo]

You're one of the few Bostonians who didn't call in sick today, I'd imagine.

[Paul L. Hepperla]

You forgot... "Bush to blame."

[discostu]

Yeah Wrigley-Fenway would be a great Series, but really so long as the Cubs break their curse I don't care which AL team's corpse winds up in the lake.

[Molly Pitcher]

Thanks, Dog. And FR recovered just in time, too:-)

Just talked to my Mom in Chicagoland....seems to be raining there. Has anyone on TV mentioned the Cubs game tonite??

[over3Owithabrain]

Have y'all seen the TV ratings for these playoffs - off the charts! Even killed MNF last night.

[demlosers]

Nomar walks!?!?!

[discostu]

There's a lot of romance in this year's playoffs, and drama. Good combination for ratings. Now if only that punk Pedro would be found dead in an alley with a bag of white powder it would be a perfect world.

[TheExploited]

It has stopped raining in Chicago suburbs (North). I think the game is a go.

[Bikers4Bush]

The rain is rolling out. Should be gone by 6:00.

[Mr. Mulliner]

Looks like I may be in front of my computer for a while. It was too wet today to get up on my roof and work on my antennae to try to get a picture on FOX.

[Molly Pitcher]

This post-season has been very good for baseball, even the dust-ups the other night, it seems....

[SamAdams76]

Yeah, it's kind of hard for me to call in sick because I'm the manager. Have to set the example and all that.

Looks like Nomar found a way to get on base...

[Mr. Mojo]

Fans cheering Manny as if he acted heroically the other night. ....typical.

[GraniteStateConservative]

Bud's happy.
