as of this second, we are tied with the rays after hammering the shit out of them last night.

game last night was in tampa, which gives me a little more confidence with october coming up. at least we proved we can win big in there park with the pressure on.

the angels scare me, but we clearly have the postseason experience.

discuss!

The Angels scare me with their ability to win close games but we have swept them in the postseason twice.

Qualifications to be a Red Sox fan, based on the first two posts in this thread:

1. Inability to properly use the words there, their, and they're

9/16/2008 8:05:05 PM

^in their defense, they didn't use or imply "they're"

Qualities to be a dickhead troll be named Ernie and root for a team that was eliminated in April.

9/16/2008 8:19:18 PM

^ Thats as original as your "status".

New around here kiddo? And by here I mean the internet.

If there is a God, this is the mother of all Jinx threads.

9/16/2008 9:46:43 PM

ahh yes I forgot that you have to use perfect grammar on the internet.

Your Yankees suck.

Don't you have a Star Wars convention to attend, kiddo.

9/16/2008 11:20:41 PM

there is a god...that's why the yankees are battling toronto for 3rd in the east and 9 games back of boston

9/16/2008 11:45:32 PM

Go BoSox!

9/16/2008 11:53:14 PM

ugh for tonight. better luck tomorrow

9/17/2008 1:03:05 AM

omg we have to win tonight

Quote :

"According to the current major league procedures, any tie between two playoff teams is broken by assessing head-to-head play during the regular season. (There is no point in having a one-game playoff if both the Sox and Rays will continue into October.) As things stand, Tampa holds a 9-8 advantage over the Sox in head-to-head play this season, which means tonight's game could actually be worth two games in the standings instead of one. For example: With Tuesday's 2-1 win, the Rays improved to 89-60, one game ahead of the Sox (89-62). With a victory on Wednesday, the Rays' lead would extend to two games in the standings with a week-and-a-half to play. But because the Rays would then hold the tiebreaking advantage over the Sox, the only way Boston could win the AL East would be to make up three games in the standings and finish a full game ahead of Tampa in the division."

haha, Red Sox fans don't want to open against the Angels for the first time in like 4 years, whodathunk.

9/17/2008 12:58:55 PM

Ahh yes because you are bandwagon Sox fans like 90% of the rest of "RED SOX NATION" and he is a Braves fan you are better than him.

10/4/2008 12:48:34 AM

K-Rod must be getting an early start on his Mets career...

10/4/2008 1:18:15 AM

10/4/2008 1:31:39 AM

well this should be interesting

10/5/2008 11:25:12 PM

Is it me or do the Sox consistently play the longest postseason games ever?

As I type this Angels take the lead. I bet the Sox tie it next inning...

10/6/2008 12:32:24 AM

I hope they do more than that

both as a sox fan and as someone who needs sleep

[Edited on October 6, 2008 at 12:36 AM. Reason : and i'll have a lot more confidence that they will if they don't allow any more runs ]

10/6/2008 12:34:45 AM

GO REDSOX!!!

10/6/2008 11:31:29 PM

JED

10/6/2008 11:32:15 PM

Tampa its on like Donkey Kong

All you haters can suck a bag of cocks. Go ahead and cheer for the Devil Rays, because I know they're no Rays fans on this board, your teams are all done.

10/6/2008 11:44:04 PM

will do. go rays

10/7/2008 12:06:49 AM

^^I'll be cheering for the Rays. I was from Day 1 of the postseason.

Mostly because of bandwagoners like yourself.

Fuck Boston and "Red Sox Nation"

10/7/2008 12:18:46 AM

^Amen, brother.

Fuck.

Boston.

10/7/2008 1:16:42 AM

GO SOX!!!

10/7/2008 1:23:01 AM

i watched a replay of the extra innings game last night in a bar in korea

with a bunch of koreans in red sox hats

what's up with that

10/7/2008 1:29:33 AM

^koreans can be front-runners too

10/7/2008 2:11:45 AM

First off I am not a bandwagon fan. I went to my first Red Sox game in 1988. I have family in New England. I get up to a game whenever I can. So fuck you for assuming that I am a bandwagon fan. Go back and cry in your Dutch owned beer in St. Louis.

Ahaha great thread!

10/15/2008 7:46:09 AM

We are down but not out in 2004 the Sox were done 3 games to none and won 4 straight, and then swept the Cardinals.

LOL.

The Red Sox are such a fucking WASP team.

I'd love it more than anything if the Rays shove it down your fucking throats tomorrow and make you disown your precious little pre-faded B hats for many years to come...

Considering over half their roster were Durham Bulls, I'd think there should be a lot more Rays fans on this fucking board than faggot Boston fans, you cocksucker.

I agree, Red Sox, and especially their fans, suck a mighty big cock.
