2008 MLB Playoffs

[SabresRule]

A 7-7 game between a team from Tampa and a Boston Team with a runner on base.

Can the Red Sox get a safety?

Seriously, BAD THROW.

 

[Mets82]

While we have a second, could Martinez shut up for just 2 seconds. Please?

 

[BillD1984]

DREW!!!!!!!!!!

 

[SabresRule]

This is a collapse of epic proportions.

This is MUCH bigger than the Bartman game, IMO.

 

[Mets82]

WOW!! THAT'S ALL I COULD SAY!!! WOW!!!

 

[BillD1984]

MICHAEL MYERS STRIKES AGAIN!!!!!

 

[SabresRule]

Three simple words:

Dead Man Walking.

That's Tampa.

Thank you, Mets!!!!!!! :up

The guy just doesn't shut up!!!!

ESPN said this was the second-largest single-game comeback from a deficit in history.

What could possibly be bigger than that?

I hope it is. That's gonna be an awful long flight back to Florida for the Rays.

Bill how confident are you with a beat up Beckett on the mound? He's looked awful in the postseason.

 

[BillD1984]

Red Sox now 15-3 when facing elimination since 1999.


They. Just. Don't. Die.

 

[SabresRule]

They. Just. Don't. Die.

Now you know how I felt when Nebraska almost beat Tech on Saturday!

And, of course, the Bills when they made their four Super Bowls.

Anders,
yes I'm very worried about Josh Beckett, and the bullpen is pretty spent, BUT this feels like 2004 revisited with a hobbled Curt Schilling pitching game 6 in Yankee Stadium. The biggest thing is, IMO, the Sox are now playing with house money.

 

[Mets82]

Not to damper the mood but the Rays are still up 3-2. The Rays could win Sat. night or The Red Sox, building momentum from this game could win it. That wouldn't surprise me.

Hey is Buck Martinez still talking? He talked about Longoria's throw to 3rd twice. He actually repeated himself.

 

[SabresRule]

I don't want to pour cold water on such a great moment, but I feel it's worth some comments, especially tomorow with the ALCS having a day off:

Sports Media Watch: Phillies/Dodgers lowest rated LCS ever on broadcast.

Sports Media Watch: LCS ratings: NL ends on another mediocre note.

So much for 'big markets equal big ratings!

 

[risnuff]

And, of course, the Bills when they made their four Super Bowls.

That's even more like a horror movie: They don't die until the last scene.

 

[Mets82]

You know, I think FOX is salivating actually for next year when they get the ALCS. I think they rotate the LCS'. I just think as far as ratings go the AL is stronger and it's been like that for a long time.

If I'm Tampa I don't even want want to think about the possibility of a Game 7. Last year when the Sox came back Game 7 was a rout, same when they beat the Yankees in 04. As far as I'm concerned TB has one shot left to clinch.

I hate to jinx it, but I definitely tend to agree with that.
