A lunar omen!
Lunar Eclipse, a Red Sox Omen?
Baseball fans will remember the lunar eclipse of Oct. 27, 2004 -- when the moon glided through the earth's shadow and turned a prophetic shade of red. It was the night the Red Sox won the Word Series for the first time since 1918.
Tonight, the Red Sox start a three-game series in the Bronx against the Yankees, the reigning division champs who have won the American League East nine straight seasons.
"The last time there was a mix of a lunar eclipse and a baseball game it worked out really well for the Red Sox," Binzel said. "We'll see if the magic can repeat itself."
"It this an omen?" Binzel asked. "One can never tell."
The eclipse at Nobska Light.

On a side note, I will be there tonight ... could not be a better day/night weather wise ... this is about the 5th game this year I was supposed to attend that Matsuzaka was the scheduled starter ... finally, I will actually be at one of them

Thought I better tone it down...
Still hate them...

I think if we beat them tonight we will know its truly over. They NEED this game and theyre backs are to the wall. Its more or less their best chance to win tonight. If they lose tonight, they risk losing the series very quickly... and they cant afford that. The Yankees absolutely need to win tonight.

That's why you put the knife in the belly and cut up until you hit the throat then twist as you step on the skull and hear a cracking sound. 
Did I just type that? Man I hate the Yankees.

i'm watching with a red sox fan at a bar in northern rhode island. we're both reasonable fans. rule No. 1: no gloating. of course, it's hard to gloat when you're eight games out.
the sox can go for the kill this week but i would say it's more likely they will finish the yanks off in mid-september at fenway. then tito has two weeks to get his team ready for the playoffs.

I just realized that if the Sox win every game and the Yankees lose every game the Sox will clinch the division on September 8th in Baltimore. I will be at that game.
I can dream can't I?
As previously stated, sweep the ****ing leg. Lets get it done and get Dice K a much needed W.

Well, if he gloats, i guess he has paid his dues. The guy has been a Red Sox fan for nearly 50 years.
Red Sox fans have suffered a long, long, time. I don't begrudge you the division title. I can even understand your frustration, anger and resentment of the Yankees. The pure hatred. If the tables had been turned for the last 55 years, I would be a little unhappy, too. I'd be like the Caveman in the Geico commercials, putting my mother on speakerphone at the shrink's office.

Bizarre. This game isn't showing up on my TV schedule at all. I'm guessing my box didn't update. There's no way this game isn't on in NY.

Game on! We're playing with house money tonight and the Yanks are all in. Even if we got swept we would leave town up 1 game from where we were a week ago!
Shit. MLB TV is showing my9, what a load of balls. I started to miss Remy after hearing those depressed guys on WGN.
ANYWAY......
GO SOX!!!!!!
WIN
ANYWAY......

WIN
i'm ready to watch dice dazzle the yanks....i'm gonna be cautiously optimistic here - we take 2 outta three
(last season, i posted redsox headlines and we lost the lead....not this year)
Anyone wonder why MLB is showing the Yanks feed and not the NESN feed? Does this have anything to do with blackout restrictions?
Go Sox!

Abreu's stance is annoying...
He took some very close pitches...

my9 is sooooo negative on the Sox, "his numbers are down...he's only good in the first half...his pitches are wild from the stretch" blah blah.
Shit, this looks bad. Jammed.

It depends how wounded.
I knew this game was gonna be the toughest out of the 3, but come on Dice K
WALKS KILL
This ump is not pleasing me at all but then again Dick K is helping much either
Considering the Sox rarely give him run support, Matsusaka best clamp down here

Throw a strike!!!!!!!!!!
Horrible from Dice, just horrible.
Wow! DiceK getting screwed big time in that at bat against Abreu, where was that 1-2 pitch.... geeez!
Could have been much worse...
Most of the runs in Chicago came late in the game...

Definitely. Let's hope that what we saw in the first was just him being rattled after being squeezed
Thanks Manny
Got to love the fact that Manny turns it on when he's home

Thank you Manny
Thank God for Derek Jeter. I think he should be up after Saint Teresa--call the Pope.
