Bill Simmons on Game 6: http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/page2...simmons/041020

"The Buckner-Armbrister flashback play in Game 6 clearly exposed A-Rod as a liar and cheater of the highest order -- the kind who would turn over an "R" in Scrabble and pretend it's a blank letter. Warrants mentioning"

"This isn't the 1996-1999 Yankees. Only four guys remain from that team. You can only get away with relying on so many Tanyon Sturtze- and Tony Clark-types before it catches up with you. I keep telling myself this."


"In less than 24 hours, you could be hearing someone say the following sentence: "So the Red Sox completed the most dramatic comeback in baseball history rallying from three games to zero to defeat the New York Yankees and make the World Series, where they'll be facing off against Roger Clemens and the Houston Astros in Game 1."

So if the Red Sox lose tonight in the last inning on a walk-off home run...will it be the biggest red sox disappointment ever, or do you have like 10 more that are just as bad? :P

Nice try, but you're looking at this from the wrong perspective.

I would wait until the game is over to make with the 'I told you so's'.

I'm not saying I told you so. I hope the Sox win, but I'm not going to get overly excited till it happens.

I can not believe the Red Sox made a fucking series out of this. Game one feels like it was an eternity ago. Maybe that explains why Schilling was able to pitch after coming up lame in game one. The only question I have now is who the hell is left? At least the MFY have the tandem of Brown and Hernandez to eat innings (I doubt they will be quality innings, but that is neither here nor there). Red Sox counter with a tired Lowe (sans one Derek Lowe Face, I pray to Gord) and Wakefield, who has thrown a thousand pitches in the span of five minutes. Yeah, they are fine.

(Do not be suprised if Foulke goes for what feels like the twentith day in a row. I swear, he is a hockey player who is just playing baseball because of the NHL lockout.)

Something needs to be said about Schilling's very red sock. Apparently his ankle was bleeding the entire game because they sutured up the damaged tendon to his ankle. (!!) They may as well take a staple gun to the ankle for his next start. Knowing this, it makes his start all the more insane... holy shit.


IBTN. That bitchslapping of Arroyo's glove is just conclusive proof that Alex Rodriguez is an assclown. Nice sportsmanship there, you turd.

I know that nobody except for Tracer cares about it, but this Astros-Cards game seems really good. Im listening to it on the radio now.

Someone other than the Red Sox or the Yankees are playing tonight?

I say this Red Sox v Yankees game is the biggest sporting event to come around in the last 20-odd years, since the USA vs USSR hockey game.

IBTN, actually. Its really not an exaggeration to say that Ive been waiting my entire life for a baseball game like this.

Derek Lowe needs to take it back to 2002 tonight.

Wow, actually, Houston v St Louis is pretty good. Bagwell just tied it up in the 9th with 2 outs and 2 men on.

Yeah this game is great. But probably only a warn up to the insanity of the Sox Yanks game. I fully expect people to be firing guns into the air.
