Can't believe I'm betting on the Sox at this point. More out of loyalty than anything. Cheap bet to show my support.

I was telling my buddy the other day (also a huge Sox fan) that this is the first time in my life I can ever remember disliking a Red Sox team. I don't dislike any of the players, individually, but collectively they are just a hard group to root for. No mental toughness, no real endearing qualities in terms of personality or performance. I'm rooting hard for them to keep the season alive for as long as possible, and I'll be watching every out. But when it is over I'm going to transition into really being upset with this group for what they have shown the last month. Going to be a long winter of talking **** about the Red Sox amongst Red Sox fans.

just real sad that they blew this lead by losing to marlins, nats and the mets. I can see them losing to philly but the other teams should not be beating them.

I really am torn over rooting for the Rays or the Sox. On one hand I absolutely hate the Sox with a burning passion, and would love nothing else to see them own the biggest collapse in the history of the sports.

On the other hand, the Tampa Bay pitching and aggresive style scare me in a playoff series, as I'd much rather face Lester, Beckett and whoever is third than Price, Shields and Davis / Moore.

I think the yanks win tonight and the red soxs beat balt and they make the playoffs. I think they get beat in the first round of playoffs so we don't face them.

I'm definitely rooting for Boston to miss the playoffs. For all the preseason world series hype they got it will be hilarious

 

[Rhode Irish]

My god this is fun.

 

[GEORGIA DOMER]

Pins and needles!!!!

 

[Rhode Irish]

I'm going to punch something. Girardi has no integrity leaving Ayala for all of that. That was embarrassing. That guy is not a professional pitcher.

 

[Rhode Irish]

Wow. SO MUCH DRAMA right now.

 

[Irish Insanity]

I'm not watching the TB v NY game. Are they Yanks intentionally giving it away, or are the Rays earning the come back?

Yanks started all their regular players, but said they would not pitch anyone that would have to pitch in Game 1 (i.e their best relievers). So it's a mix.

They didn't choose Rivera in the 9th so maybe

 

[Ironman8]

See above bro.

 

[Rhode Irish]

It isn't about Rivera. They are under no obligation to use him. But you don't leave a guy out there to walk the ball park and give up 6 runs in an inning unless you have a blatant disregard for the integrity of the game. That was some unprofessional bullsh!t.

 

[NDPhilly]

See above bro.

Oh ok gotcha. Who do u want to face Ironman?

 

[Ironman8]

Oh ok gotcha. Who do u want to face Ironman?

The Rays pitching scares me but I just love watching the Red Sox implode. I'm just worried about beating the Tigers right now starting on Friday.

 

[Rhode Irish]

Seriously, I'm not sure what to do with all this rage. It makes want to quit caring about sports. Why do such awful things happen to such awesome people, like me?

GO TIGERS!!!

 

[NDPhilly]

Hunter Pence broken bat hit to give Phillies 4-3 least in top of 13 with 2 outs!!!!!!!

 

[Mr. McGibblets]

Funny- They bring in pence to get closer to the world series. Now, because of his hit, they have to face the hottest team in baseball

We got this. I'll take Phillies in 4

 

[KPENN]

Lol

 

[Mr. McGibblets]

One of the greatest nights in baseball history. Bets settled.

 

[Mr. McGibblets]

Longoria walk off hr with 3 mins of papelbon blowing save. Rays in wild card

 

[Rhode Irish]

One of the greatest nights in baseball history. Bets settled.

Maybe for some people. This night just proved to me that there is a vast cosmic conspiracy to ensure that the good guys always lose. Laugh at my misfortune if you want. Notre Dame doesn't seem to be exempt from the conspiracy.

 

[Ironman8]

What do you mean, you people?

 

[Mr. McGibblets]

Also, I won my fantasy baseball championship tonight, despite b!tch a$$ Papplebon blowing that save.

 

[Mr. McGibblets]

I mean, i wasnt talking trash because Boston loss. If myself, as a fan, were on the backend of this Id feel the same way. Just felt the excitement was insane.
