Everything is true to form so far, every team I have rooted for this playoff season has lost, lol.

That's ok.

Number of World Championships:

Yankees 27
Cardinals 11
Red Sox 7

Hah!

Now that's just mean.

And it doesn't change the fact that you root, they lose. Keep up the Sox hating that's all I can say.

My teams are the Oakland A's (from childhood) and NY Yankees (lived in NY state for 10 years), and I am warming up to the Braves now that I am in the South. However, I actually do root for the Red Sox sometimes, lol, so you are not always safe. Oh god I still remember screaming at the tv for them to take Buckner out against the Mets. True story.

I think this curse is just this year though. My A's and Yanks have won several World Series with me cheering them on.

The Cardinals did prove one thing tonight.....shoddy fielding will come back to bite you in the ass. When that ball dropped between Wainright and Molinda even the cat was like wtf???

Beltran robbing Ortiz of that grand slam was awesome tho. Hope he is ok. He hit that bullpen wall awfully hard.

OMG I laughed so hard when the pitcher called for the fly ball and just let it drop.......geeze if he only had his glove in front of him it would have landed in it.....

GO RED SOX!!!!!!!

That guy did hit the wall pretty hard I hope he ok also. I sure hated seeing Papi getting robbed of a grand slam.

Well, tonight was Boston's opportunity to demonstrate how slopping fielding will come back to bite you in the ass.

Maybe now John Farrell will consider using Daniel Nava, the eighth leading hitter in the league, over Johnny Gomes?

The look on Craig Breslow's face summed it up for me:

I hear ya that is why we killed them the first night <sighs>

At least they didn't walk all over us like we did them the 1st game.

MaineButch · 10-25-2013, 06:28 AM

WOW last nights game was a good one. I thought we was going to win it after Big Poppie hit the homerun and we was up by one. I think they should have left Lester in for another inning. Oh well we have this weekend to move ahead <crosses fingers>
I do like good games!!!!!!

yep. and the old saying goes: offense wins ballgames. defense wins championships.

I'm from New England originally...so yeah, I love that dirty water.

The Sox were amazing last night - they made St. Louis pay for every single mistake they made...just as they did to Detroit and Tampa.

Much of their success is because the Red Sox have a very well balanced team - every bat in the lineup can do damage, every pitcher can have a great game, and their base running is the best in baseball.

It's just Game One, though. Don't light those cigars, pop the champagne, or look for the Duck Boats yet.

Glad to hear Beltran's xrays and ct scan were negative. Hopefully he will be day to day and not need to be replaced on the roster. He wields a potent bat in the Cards line up.

Besides, the poor guy has waited 16 years to make it to a World Series. He deserves more than an inning appearance. That was one freakin awesome catch tho.

GeeGina, no need to worry about Red Sox fans counting their chickens before they hatch. We have been thru too many late season meltdowns, chicken and beer fiasco's, Bill Buckner and Bucky Dent. Until it hits the record books, we pretty much hold our collective breaths.
