He had a good game, i'm not gonna make excuses like everyone else in this forum seems to do.

But the red sox won't move on.  They don't have enough pitching.  Like I said in my first post.

Well you'd know this if you had paid any attention to the Sox/A's games, but their pitching hasn't been the problem. It's their batting that has killed them.

The big 4...Nomar, Mueller, Ramirez, and Millar have gone a combined 11-52, ZERO RBI, and 27 runners left on base. That's a .211 Batting average. If you take out Nomar's stats, which are so-so, it gets worse...6-40, ZERO RBI, and 22 left on base, with a .150 batting average. That is terrible! Sorry, but Boston's pitching hasn't lost this series, it's Boston's big hitters that will cost them the series. With Boston's 7 runs per game average on offense, their pitchers have more then done their part.

you just proved my point, the a's have better pitching, hence, boston will not score as much

You're so wrong. Did you even watch the game? The Sox had amazing pitching this whole series, and Pedro is gonna pitch game 5.

The problem is that they finished with a record slugging percentage and so far they haven't hit crap. Not because the A's have amazing pitchers though, as was proven today.

I agree with you threetonesun. When their offense starts up, everyone needs to watch out. They have an excellent offense. One of the best in the AL imo. Also, their momentum should carry them to the NLDS win.

And also, the Yankees won. So a Red Sox v. Yankees ALCS would be sweet.

Mother ****ing umpires just screwed us. Lofton clearly caught a ball hit to the outfield with 2 on and 0 out, but they said he didnt catch it, so he throws it in, a runner scores and Giles, who was at 1st, is out because Sheffield who hit the ball passed him at first base. Horrible umpiring. Should be 4-0.

Not just sweet, super sweet. And I'm putting my money on whomever takes the AL to win the WS. I just don't think the NL teams have it this year, although Florida could suprise me.

Hell officially dropped a few hundred degrees tonight. The Cubs ended their 95 year streak, and Boston pulled another one out of their, err gloves.

Man, this really sucks, the Yankees are my favorite team, and Oakland is my second favorite, but I really want to see the Redsox and the Cubs in the World Series (and hell actually would freeze over at that point).

If the impossible does happen, Chicago over Boston in 7. Otherwise it'll be Yanks over the Cubs in 6.

well i just got back from the falcons and braves games, and i am frustrated to say the least. i'm happy for the cubs fans for finally winning a series, but i am getting really tired of this same sh1t every year.. some other team comes along that actually has some emotion in october and they always beat us out. whatever, im gonna be recovering from this for a few days.. since the falcons suck i was looking forward to hockey season, then as i left the ballpark tonight i hear on the radio that Atlanta Thrashers center Dan Snyder has died. just a pretty crappy day for an atlanta sports fan.

as for the playoffs.. now im going with red sox over cubs in 7

Not quite. Giles was out because he didn't go to second base. There was a force there. Sheffield COULD have been out if he would have passed Giles. The Umps said that the cubs stepped on second base to get Giles out BEFORE sheffield passed him. It was a close play though. If the Cubs would have touched second AFTER sheffield passed Giles, Sheffield would have been out on site, but since they said Giles was already out, he was ok.

I had stepped out urinal.gif and missed that play.

I started rooting for the Cubs after my Phils got eliminated, but its getting tough, since my brother in-law is a life long Cubs fan, and seeing him so happy is giving me pains :pinch:

yeah there was one guy in my section that didnt know what to do with himself.. he jumped over the tarp and ran out on the field waving a cubs pennant, giving high fives to sosa and lofton. security didnt see him i guess.. the grounds crew came out and tackled him. he got arrested and walked off the field sticking his tongue out at everyone.. the rest of the cubs fans seemed to be pretty well behaved.

Yea, that is going to be an awesome matchup. I will be rooting for you guys.

Anyways, Im sure the Cubs fans were ###### at the game. Mocking the tomahawk chop and all, but I live in Chicago and flew down for game 2 and I can see why. The tomahawk chop is the most ****ing racist and annoying thing I have ever witnessed in my life. And it just goes non-stop.

    • Browser vendors pen open letter to Microsoft saying "enough is enough"

      By Snake Doc · Posted

      Mac does nothing of the sort. You can change the default browser very easily it does not nag you and when you do this, it does not open something still in Safari....like Windows does with Edge.

      I do not remember anything happening to Apple and Google for bribing people not to make Apps for Windows Phone. Edge barley has a foot print to matter. If the other browser companies want more of the Pie, they need to do better. I use Brave on all my personal device. However in industry, Edge of default, as we can manage it easier with MS tools.

      On the one hand, it shouldn't be difficult. You buy a computer, you decide what OS you want, which browser etc. Simple enough. But that's the techie side of things. My sister, my mother, wouldn't bother with such a thought. And I'm pretty sure that if you presented a window asking them what to pick they would say, "I don't care! I just want to access my Email!"
