Official Game 6 thread (Bos vs. NY, like duhhhh)

[Neil Stevens]

Because the ball is dead, Jeter was never allowed to attempt to reach second to begin with.

Even if I don't like the call, I understand and agree with its consequences.

[craig r]

Does anybody else think baseball games being played in this type of condition is scary; i.e. police in riot gear

craig

[Toro]

Pretty sad. They need police in riot gear. Yankees have won 26 World Series while we got none and they act like this when it looks like they might lose.

[sublime]

top it off its only game 6

[Losing all]

Never seen that at a ballgame before.

Salty, come over from the dark side. You'll feel better about yourself.

That's what happens when you sell people lots of beer.

If MLB really wanted to fix that, and make their games true "family" events, they'd ban alcohol sales.

[Non_Comformist]

I need to go lay down.

Seriously, I'm losing feeling in my legs.

Go Yankees!

[ThaSaltCracka]

well, I think he was on second by the time it happened. that was a slow roller.


I can't find anything specifically that says what A-Rod did was technically wrong, but lets be honest, that is poor sportsmanship and should very well be against the rules(if it explicitly isn't).

I wouldn't be surprised if A-Rod gets suspended.

Speaking of baseball rules, why are pinch runners allowed?

it just has a very "police state" type of feel....i know it is not...it is just creepy.

[Neil Stevens]

I imagine the pinch runner concept originally came about when someone got hurt on the base paths. Some guy got hurt and was replaced.

Then some manager got the idea of replacing a guy who wasn't hurt, and all the fun started.

[ThaSaltCracka]

probably the same reason they allow pinch hitters and relief pitchers. SO to answer you, I have no idea.

Well, this is what it comes to tonight - 3 outs, 2 run lead. All things considered, I'll take it.

Let's go, Foulke!! Get me 3 more....

[Losing all]

I doubt he'll recieve any punishment. It's not like when Joey Belle smashed Vina's face.

For some reason that bothered me much less than what ARod just did.

Also, bonus points for calling him Joey.

[lastchance]

They won't. You don't suspend someone in the playoffs unless they're trying to kill someone. I don't think A-Rod tried to do that.

I like the fine idea a bit though. Arod's rich, he can afford it.

[goofball]

jury is still out, really.

and where's myers to pitch to matsui?!

[ThaSaltCracka]

7.09
He fails to avoid a fielder who is attempting to field a batted ball, or intentionally interferes with a thrown ball, provided that if two or more fielders attempt to field a batted ball, and the runner comes in contact with one or more of them, the umpire shall determine which fielder is entitled to the benefit of this rule, and shall not declare the runner out for coming in contact with a fielder other than the one the umpire determines to be entitled to field such a ball;

I love baseball man, this series has become a spectacle though, just absurd games.

[Nepa]

I feel i HR coming!

[Neil Stevens]

Yes, I saw that, but at that point the fielder wasn't trying to field the ball, nor was he throwing the ball. The ball was fielded, and in his glove, and the fielder was attempting to get in the runner's way with the glove.

The runner did go right to avoid him (just look how far right he was by the time he passed the bag), but the runner's arm collided with the fielder's arm.

I still say this was a judgement call here, and the ump at first made it, and they shouldn't have huddled and overturned it on something so close.

[Daliman]

" A walk is as bad as a home run?"

Really? Up 4-2 with a man on 1st and zero outs sounds alot better to me if I'm ahead than zero outs bases empty, and a 4-3 lead.

But what do I know.

[JinX11]

Wrong. 1 away.

[Losing all]

It was weak as hell, and that slap was very girlie. I just don't think it's a suspension crime.

BTW- "joey" was probably my favorite player in the 90's, but when he came to Tiger stadium I was always the first to start the chat. joeeeeeyyyyy

That fuker murdered Detroit

[ThaSaltCracka]

I am going to completely disagree with you.

[JinX11]

Please, God, give me one more out.

[ThaSaltCracka]

[lastchance]

No way. There is no curse. The Boston Red Sox are a better team this year than they were last year. They have a bullpen. They have defense. They have Curt Schilling. The New York Yankees are not putting this series away, and for that, they are going to lose.

The Red Sox are supposed to be the team that can't put the other guys away. The Red Sox are supposed to be the team that isn't able to come through with clutch hits like David Ortiz's, or get clutch saves from Foulke. This could very well be their year. I think it is. Red Sox, in a nailbiter tommorrow. They're going to win.

[lastchance]

Wakefield put up a damn good performance last year in the ALCS. Boone's homer came after an inning, maybe two of relief work. If there's one guy on the mound I want besides Schilling, it's not Pedro, it's Wakefield. Again, Red Sox win. They pull off a miracle.

[ThaSaltCracka]

I am alright, I had my profanity ladden rant and got it out. I am cool....

[Non_Comformist]

Congrats, your team played great.

<sigh> [censored]

no we wont

if the yankees win its cuz they played better baseball in game 7, not some curse

[Neil Stevens]

Right. After coming back from 3-0 and winning two close games, there's no way that Boston will have nagging doubt of "what's going to go wrong this time?"

That big blowout win may have cost New York the series.

[tripdad]

the Yankees are totally toying with Sox fans here. this was the plan all along. people in New England will die of heartache tomorrow.

BTW, i'm rooting for the Sox, but i know better. i am totally prepared for the worse here. good thing i don't have to watch the whole thing...poker tourney tomorrow night. /images/graemlins/grin.gif

cheers!

I feel like dumbing myself down, I will choose to watch dream job instead of baseball tonight.

Dude, you seriously can't root for the Yankees that hard when you're from another city.

There is no curse. If there was a curse, Posada's deep fly to the rightfield wall in the 2nd inning doesn't get held up by the wind. If there was a curse, Bernie Williams's liner down the rightfield line in the 4th inning with two men on doesn't land a few inches foul. If there was a curse, the umpires don't get together and overrule TWO calls in the face of a hostile crowd. THERE IS NO CURSE. Red Sox will win Game 7.

[theBruiser500]

The annoucner on the show said that the riot people were concerned with some specific problem cause they kept staying or pointing in the same direction. Any idea what the specific problem was?

[ThaSaltCracka]

I dunno, probably people throwing things at the umps.

[Neil Stevens]

My guess at the time was that someone was yelling threats, so they were pointing at the direction that the threats were coming from.

[lastchance]

You have to root for a team that came back down 3-0 to 3-3.
You have to root for a team that could have said die at any point during the last 3 games, but didn't.
You have to root for a team that managed to stave off Mariano Rivera just to avoid getting swept, and then did it again, despite runners already being on.
The Red Sox aren't supposed to win games like this. No team is, except maybe the Yankees. That's why you have to root for the Sox here.
Game 5, 1995 ALDS. I hope Game 7, 2004 ALCS is just as good.

[Neil Stevens]

You have to root for the guy who went out on a bloody ankle, too, but I don't see how you can switch teams after 6 games /images/graemlins/smile.gif

[ThaSaltCracka]

dude, you have totally changed the team you are rooting for repeatedly. pick a team and stay with it.

1995 ALDS best game ever.

[daryn]

i have to say the winner of biggest idiot in this thread goes to non_conformist.

first of all, the guy is from oregon?? he won't even explain his reasons for rooting for the yankees.. but not just rooting for them, rooting for them SO PASSIONATELY!!! you'd think he lived in NYC his whole life! also, his nick is NON-CONFORMIST HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHHAHAHAH
