Royal Rooters > THE COOLER > ROYAL ROOTERS ARCHIVES > 2007 WORLD SERIES GAME THREADS - BOSTON v. COLORADO
No mucking about. No relying on Josh Beckett tommorrow. No hoping it comes back to Fenway.
Get out the brooms. Sweep.
Just win, baby.
Get out the brooms. Sweep.

I want to win. I want to clinch it.
But...I'm not ready for this season to be over yet. I'm rooting for them to win tonight, but if they just happened to lose tonight and we'd get to witness one more masterpiece from 20007 Cy Young Josh Beckett, well it wouldn't be the worst thing in the world.

It all ends tonight

I think this is the right approach. And I'm thinking... the big bats have been quiet in the past two games... thin air... long ball...
There's gonna be some souvenirs for the towel idiots tonight.
Go Sox!!!
Tonight is a must win. Tonight is the win. Tonight we will win. Tonight is the entire season.
Lets do this.
Lets do this.
I have a sneaking suspicion that this will be the last game thread for awhile.
After all, it is a strong man's game.
The Boston Red Sox have not hit a home run since their first at bat of this series.
Tonight, it's time to show the Rockies what this offense really can do.

Is this really happening? Are we really here again, so soon?
10/28/07.
It's the new 10/27/04.

Note to the Boston Red Sox:
PRACTICE IS CANCELLED TOMORROW, THERE'S NO ONE LEFT TO BEAT.
While it would be nice to see the Sox clinch the World Series on homefield at Fenway, it will be even nicer if they get the sweep. Finish is tonight. Go Sox!

Please finish it tonight. I can't take these sleepless nights much longer...! Just win.
Friends, I hope this is the last game thread of 2007. It's been fun.
When was the last time that Lester pitched for the Red Sox? Damn, now we have him again on the mound, thats terrible for a WS caliber team like the Red Sox. I guess there will be no party this weekend.
Lester can do it. Pesky wants a 2nd ring for the other hand.
Alright, I think we know what this means.
It means that we have to throw the '08 All Star game. That way, the Sox can sweep and win at home in the '08 World Series.

It's clinch night! Do your job and tonight you will be champions.
I used to work for a firm with a Boston office but now I don't, anyone here want to get me the papers the day after we win it all? I'll cover packaging, shipping, the papers and money for your time like lunch/dinner for 2.

Seriously, I think this is a great idea. If somebody's willing to do that, I'm ready to extend the same offer.
Anyone?

Nice job here, I would expect you to get a ring for your contribution.

If I was 3 hours or closer to Boston I'd meet you for Sox and drinks, even if my limbs were falling off. Your friends are lame :-)
In 2004, I was prepared with Korbel champagne and Hoyo de Monterrey Excallabur (ie., Red Auerbach) cigars.
I was caught with my pants down tonight: I have a bottle of "Andre California Champagne" on ice ($4.99 for a good-sized bottle), and $1.19 "Honey Game" cigars. Yikes!
I don't care, though, I really want a win tonight.

The Pats are winning 52-0, Boston College is still #2 team in the nation --> all signs point to a great weekend for Boston sport fans.
Is it 11:40 yet?

Jon Lester with the win to clinch--how great would that be for him?
The Sox with the win tonight no matter who's the pitcher of record--how great would that be for all of us?
Let's Go Sox!!!

What are you normally smoking out of those? Because no legitimate cigar smoker actually puffs on these.

I'd rather not touch it all all. It was either this or White Owl. There was a very limited supply at the 7/11.
They had some very strange, um, "flavors" there. It's a far, far cry from Nat Sherman's.
I'd love for us to get the sweep tonight but I'm also rooting for it to go one more game because I slept in and can't get to a bar to watch the game in time 
. I guess ESPN Radio and Fox Sports Pre-game and post-game shows and here will be my lifeline!

Dear God...the acting in these godawful game intros that Fox has put together makes me long for Frank Caliendo.

About what? We got this, no need to worry.
Is anyone else surprised Hurdle isn't going with Francis on short rest in an attempt to stave off the sweep?
I'm sure that, if we were the ones down 3-0, Beckett would be on the mound instead of Lester.

As much as I would love for this series to go back to Fenway, I am really hoping for us to sweep tonight. It would be sweet and enjoyable...a 2nd title in 4 years (so does this mean that we'll be getting a 3rd in 6 come 2009?)
