Read the sports section this morning?

**Blurred** · 09-22-2005, 10:50 AM

Chowd is pronounced like Chode, right?

**smmokan** · 09-22-2005, 10:55 AM

1/2 game up with 10 to go... this could get interesting. The Yankees are playing better right now, but Ortiz is doing a nice job of putting them on his back and carrying them as far as he can. The last weekend will be BIG.

Go Yanks!

Wow, this was unexpected. Wheres the obligatory Wells-obesity slag?

Its a fairly disappointing morning for me, but certainly was a long time coming. As many issues as the yankees have had this year, the sox front office has done a wonderful job ignoring the many shortcomings of the team. Their stubborn insistence on waiting for guys like Foulke or Schilling to come around, and placing their hopes on oft-injured arms like Mantei and Miller without a backup plan, was pretty much a ticking time bomb. It went boom.

The last three games of the season at Fenway, with any luck, will be meaningful. I've got tickets to see the Friday and Sunday games, and am dropping coin to catch a flight for the weekend, so they damn well better be!

Let's see... 2005 + 86 years =

2091 isn't that far off, right?

its not so much a sting, as a persistent burning sensation. do you feel it too? i had attributed it to something else, but perhaps its from the ownage?

Would you be interested in a healthy Alan Embree? He's swell.

its the bastardized spelling. i feel kind of dirty for using it.

I feel pretty good actually. The sox are slumping and the yanks are hot. Neither event is going to keep up for the rest of the season. The sox will heat up and the yanks are bound to lose a few and there you have it. Season's over. Sox win.

I realize that. I'm predicting things to turn around in a day or two. I forsee the sox picking up two games on the yanks and that's all they need.

**skatecow45** · 09-22-2005, 05:17 PM

There is going to be a very exciting end of September, and I can't wait! Wildcards comming from our division or the Central divsion. Who's it going to be? I say its the classic one-two punch with some combo of the Yanks/ Sox getting into the playoffs. We need some more reliable pitching thats all. All of the Sox starters are being yanked by the friggen first 3 innings? What is this, a homerun derby.... jesus!

My call: Sox clip yanks at the bear end. We take the majortiy of game in the NY series. Thats where its at!

GO SOX!

That's a mouthful

**stump832** · 09-22-2005, 05:31 PM

This team has room for only one first baseman who is slugging < 400.

The preferred spelling and pronunciation is man-cave-itch.

and i'm sure losing foulke idn't helping either.

**Free Range Lobster** · 09-23-2005, 08:57 AM

foulke was useless and a whiner

Actually, I think losing Foulke did help them. Now they don't have to give him pity-innings where he can run his ERA up even higher. Maybe they can sign Jose Mesa for the home stretch.
