BTW, that's a classic. I do
And it's going to get worse. But such is the price you pay.
PLAYOFF CO-MVP'S - PHIL'S SPERM AND MRS. PHIL'S EGGS!!!! WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Newsflash to O'Dowd and Monfart: God doesn't give a rat's arse about your team. Really.
Congrats to the Red Sox on a great year. They were the best team in baseball, and deserved this.
And thanks to the Sox for saving us from more articles about how the Rockies are the chosen people.
Stay classy, Sox nation.
Enjoy your celebration.
Good job Sox Therapy.
LETS GO REDSOX!! CLAP CLAP CLAPCLAPCLAP.
WWWWWWWWWWW
WWHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
HHHHHHHHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I watched as much as I possibly could this post-season. I think my own personal curse is over.
Lowell was a fitting MVP, though it again could have been a bunch of guys.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Congrats to the Rockies and their fans. I probably would have been rooting for you had the opponent been anybody else.
Blow Ajax, blow!
What a great team. 11-3 in the playoffs, so 107-69, pretty damn good. And that's while playing under their pythag! and resting for a month heading into the playoffs.
But really, they checked off everything on the list. Win the division. Best record in baseball. Win the World Series.
And oh yeah, develop young guys. God I'm excited for next year too.
Now can your team please go back to sucking in the playoffs? K thx bye.
I've got some good news: three more are coming soon!!!
And I've got some bad news . . . . ;-)
These guys are Primates. They'll have drunk themselves to death before they have to endure too many of those lean years.
*ducks*
I don't even know what that means...
They didn't lose a game after Phil Coorey's second kid was born.
So next season, whats our starting rotation?
It means Wok is perilously close to violating the restraining order.
This is true.
Best few weeks of my life
I'm not sure what the team that played in the playoffs was on its true talent level, but it's a Great team. It had the Manny that didn't really exist all year, and the JD Drew that was expected coming in, and Ellsbury who is superior to Crisp. I'd put the team that just played those last 14 games up against almost any team I can remember.
I thought it was hilarious, and true!!!
(insert crude comment about Mike Lowell's testicles here)
Pop a few more out!!! WHOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
God love him!!!
Agree, what about A Rod?? Lets just resign Mikey Lowell!!!
With 2004 shaking all of the curse nonsense and now 2007 proving we could do it again, is it time for Sox Therapy to get a new name?
Please kindly leave the AL.
I'm with you here. I hope he's gone from NY, but I'd really prefer the Red Sox let him go somewhere else.
Have to agree with the sentiments about Lester. What a great thing for him.
No way. He is LA of Anaheim bound.
CF Ellsbury
2B Pedroia
SS Arod
DH Ortiz
LF Ramirez
RF Drew
3B Lowell
1b Youkilis
C Varitek
Now THAT's a lineup.
And Hugh, even though this team w/ ARod next year could win an unfathomable amount of games, and even though I even kind of like A-Rod, I just don't want him. I just don't want to deal with the bullshit associated with him.
Just ran down Boylston, it's a really good level of crazy there. Not the once-in-a-lifetime carnivale of 2004, but just a whole lot of people celebrating, Dominican flags everywhere. It's great.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This was a great game. Great season. So many players who are so much fun to watch. I'm a very lucky fan right now.
They're not burning Japanese flags are they?
EDIT - What about the Keilty homer??? That was huge
And congrats, Phil. This must be about as good as it gets. (I can send you a Globe again - let me know.)
Sox Populi?
And I have to say, Francona really does impress me (though I know you're joking Darren, a bit). I guess I just mean that during the season, we fault his tactical decisions, but we never really know all of the long term considerations being considered. In the playoffs though, we see his strategies unfiltered. Even though there were a few mistakes, I was generally very happy. Going to Paps early and often is great. Putting in Ellsbury is reminiscent of the guy who made the move for Papelbon over Foulke and kept Bellhorn in at 2nd. He's a good manager.
He would be good for the Red Sox, you see. If this Francona fella, ever feels disrespected. Dusty could be a good fit, you see.
I'm joking a bit, but I'm also trying to give him his due. It's easy to criticize from where I sit, but he's the one doing the job and he's getting it done. He deserves his share of credit for their success.
That would be swell, I'll contact you by email after this thread (and the A Rod one) settles down!!!
I believe that is a first. :) Congrats!
Ditto.
great work all season, Darren. I'm with #70.
Indeed. For someone not used having to manage NL games, he was very adept about using the double switch, the proper pinch runners, and the proper pinch hitters at the right points in the game. He also proved adept at not leaving Schilling and Dice-K in the games too long.
My top complaint about his managerial style was his over-reliance on Okajima to the point where poor Oki would wear down.
(thanks for the kind words too fellas)
Tito is no Sweet Lou, but then, Sweet Lou is no Tito, if you see what I mean.
There's some merit in both of these arguments.
10. "I don't see a really good reason why I should give a #### about the rest of the games this year if the management doesn't."
9. "Did [Okajima's] bad appearance against the Yankees move him down to mop-up duty?"
8. "I hate this Sox team, no killer instinct at all."
7. "Also, what the hell is up with Ramirez?. . . I'm suddenly glad that contract runs out next year."
6. "Francona's not a good manager.Let me add: if he has a good relationship with his bosses after the way he's handled this season, then it reflects badly on his bosses."
5. "Also, I'm willing ot accept not making the palyoffs at all if it gets Francona fired."
4. "Why can't I for once just have some sort of victory celebration without drama and endless F!@#ups?"
3. "To be honest it makes no damn bit of difference who makes the playoffs the way the yankees are playing. If they play this week for another month it's in the bag. My god I want to shoot myself."
2. "Another year, another late season collapse."
And the #1 quote is:
"O.k. whingers, bring it on!! So the lead is a might skinny. Yee of little faith, we will win this division by taking at least 6 or our next 9 games and then pummell all comers in the playoffs! We just took some time to get our bad play out of our systems...not its time to rock!"
Congratulations Red Sox fans... hope you enjoyed the rollercoaster ride. ;-)
And MCoA, I'd be happy to reimburse you if you could ship me a Globe. I collected front pages from New England newspapers after 2004, though one would suffice this time.
This is baseball. Don't argue with results.
[/sarcasm]
More realistically, it's gotta be the splits, right? Tito has shown that he finds those very convincing in the past (starting K earlier in the playoffs, for instance). Kielty murders lefties, and Youk is merely very good against them.
Also, I just discovered that if you search for "Youk" at BB-Ref, it takes you to just exactly the page you want.
I believe that was me :-), as only an Aussie would use whingers over whiners...
