It was a great night for the Bay State!

When you are playing for a spot in the World Series, it helps to be playing a team that forces you to do even better than your best.

The Tigers are a formidable team with a scary pitching staff and awesome, albeit, silent bats. They had a terrific season and I hope their fans are proud of all they accomplished.

As for the World Series, the Sox have played the Cards 3 times with the Cards up 2-1. I wasn't born for the first match up but I remember them demolishing us in the Impossible Dream season of 1967. That series was almost as bad as the ball thru Buckners legs series with the Mets.

But, it was the Cards we swept in 2004 for our first world series win since 1918.

My 2004 World Series hat is looking ragged. A 2013 one would be sweet!

macele · 10-20-2013, 11:52 AM

it's ok Miss Tick. my sportsmanship has also been fake LOL. i shake hands and say you all play a good game, ... but i don't mean it! lol

i'm thinking Bulldog and i need to throw a little clean water boston's way. or something like that.

so that's 2 st. louis fans and 2 boston fans.

<<<~~ loves to cheer for the St. Louis Cardinals.

I read just the other day that they made it into the play-offs.

But.... Where is Betenoir???

Last time the Cardinals were in the play-offs (back in 2011), she
filled me in on the scores, late one night.

I don't keep up much with baseball these days,
but I hope which ever team wins the pennant
will be found playing by all the rules and be found
above-board in all their achievements as a team.

Cin · 10-23-2013, 08:50 PM

Game 1 is looking good for the Red Sox so far. Wish I was in Fenway.

Lester's pitching...all you could ask for.

Hope their pitching holds up for the series. Don't worry as much about their bats.

No 2007 hat? Too soon after 04?

A 2013 hat would really hit the spot.

BullDog · 10-23-2013, 09:13 PM

What a melt down for the Cards. It's a good thing they can only lose 1 game out of this. The only good thing was Beltran's catch in right field and he hurt a rib.

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!

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.

BullDog · 10-23-2013, 09:23 PM

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.

Kobi · 10-23-2013, 10:01 PM

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.

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

GeeGina · 10-24-2013, 07:50 AM

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.

Kobi · 10-24-2013, 10:30 AM

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.
