Full Version: LA Angels at BOSTON, Friday, October 5, 2007
Let's jump to a quick lead and watch Dice-k closely. When his bad inning starts (usually in the 5th or 6th), get him out quick.
GO SOX!!!!!
GO SOX!!!!!
Home plate umpire will have a great influence on the outcome of this game. C'mon Dice-K, it's your time to shine on the big stage. I think our rook gets it done tonight.
Go Sox. I won't be able to watch the game tonight 
I'll be out with the wife so I'll have to rely on google text message score updates.

Wow, putting Pedroia in leadoff spot! I like it.

Meanwhile, BB to Cabrera. Missed called strike 3, I thought
That looked like a strike.

Meanwhile, in CLE, winning run is on 2nd with one out, BOT 10
Angels have runners at 1st and third with 2 down, cmon Dice-K

Too bad CLE is allergic to a clutch anything tonight.
NICE PITCH!!!
Bases loaded in CLE.
DAMN! Fruitbat strikes out Peralta with bases jacked.
Cmon Sox, Dice K needs runs, many runs!

Attaboy, JD!!! Nice 2-0 lead!!
JD Drew...worth every penny! 
Let's hope Dice K can give us one of those scrappy 6 inning numbers because its not looking good.
Except that would be an awesome addition to the broadcast!
That or a bald-guys-head-blocking-the-camera free broadcast.
Also Indians with 2 on 0 out.

Dice at 75 pitches yet? Geesh.
DICE K SUCKS
Well done Manny.
Not much we can do about it, though I do think Ellsbury should be starting in CF.
I believe we should have started Schilling in this game, and nothing that has happened has changed my mind.

Manny just looks lost out there this inning. And I'm with wondering why Schill wasn't starting this one.
We will have the bats to win this one however.

You read my mind. OK Tito, you let the nice Japanese man throw some balls. Time for him to go.
I do not want to hear another commentator/reporter etc to ever mention again that Dice-K can perform under pressure because he pitched in the equivalent of the final four in Japan. Nearly 60 pitches through 2 - ...
What the hell is Jose Mota supposed to be? One of those Equal Opportunity Spots? He is awful, that was like he had Touretts or something
and now Escboar has settled down, not good
Crisp and Lugo starting off an inning is a good time to go across the street to buy more junk food.
Really, Tito, did you check the pitch count? Just checking.
this is turning into a little league bad news bears-type of night

One question, Why did Dice K pitch tonight instead of Schilling?

And two Olympics, World Baseball Classic and the Japan Series.
But then I guess 2 innings in the ALDS is enough to decide otherwise. Or 3 now.

I have been wondering that all week, but it is what it is and if he can't get the job done then the rest of the team has to pick it up.

Big deal. Cleveland's a good team. Who would you rather face in the ALCS, IF we make it there??
Man, does Dice-K miss his spots wayyyyyyyyy to much or is it just me?

That's an easy one. I'd rather face the Tribe. The Pigs owned us the second half.
Yay morning practice... time to attempt to fall asleep while listening to the game...

Not that I don't think we could beat them, but I just want them out....
