This season has been pretty exciting so far - Detroit playing well is the best for me but seeing Seattle struggle so early has been a bummer. I'm going to ge see Detroit play in Seattle next month - I love both these teams so it's going a blast to watch this one.

I've always liked Detroit...thier baseball team, NOT that hockey organization....I remember way back in '84 when they started 35-5 and went on to win the World Series :)

Braves won again 9-5 over the Reds yesturday by scoring the tying fun in the top of the 9th and then scoring 4 more in the top of the tenth to win.  That means they are 4-1 over their last 5, hopefully a start to a larger run.

Yeah; each of the past four years they've failed to win the pennant...which is ok by me. I'll still never forget how the Cardinals made quick work of them in the 2000 NL Division Series. In three of the past four postseasons they've not survived the Division Series. As a Dodger fan I don't normally cheer for the Giants, but I had to in the '02 NLDS because I didn't want the Braves moving on. Basically I'm comfortable with pretty much anyone just as long as it's not the Yanks and Braves together.

Anyway, I think I've said enough now. ttfn

Thats one thing thats great about being a Braves fan (I am sure many of the Yankees fans feel the same way) is because everyone hates your team because they always win.  The reason "America's Team" was coined was because you can watch the Braves anywhere in the United States, the Chicago Cubs are the only other team that you can view anywhere as well.  And when you look at when it was coined the Braves were winning and the Cubs werent so between the two thats how they got the name.  Plus look where the Braves are located, Beisdes the Marlins the Braves own the whole southeast pretty much.  You go to South Carolina, Alabama, North Carolina and so on they are all mostly Braves fans.

The Thomahawk Chop would not be what it is if was not for the other teams fans disliking it so much.  Atleast it is better than the towels in Minnesota.  If you don't like the Braves Tomahawk Chop I would assume then you all probably dont care for Florida State's either.

Well that whole tomahawk thing does bother me...whether it be Atlanta or FSU. As for the "America's team....I always likened it to the Dallas Cowboys...who I cannot stand...thanks for the explanation though, kenlos....I don't mean to offend you...I just have grown tired of Atlanta over the years. One thing that added to my dislike for them was a feature on ESPN a few years back that showed how far outside the Atlanta pitchers used to get away with...granted the umps called it the same for both teams...BUT after the show aired and MLB changed cracked down on this problem, catcher javier lopez was whining SO much and denying that that was the case.....I could go on for a while but I'd just like to say that I'm sorry if I upset you....I meant no disrespect...I probably won't ever be called a Braves fan but I wish your team good luck ;)

My Dodgers were off yesterday, but I watched the Tigers/Angels game last night. The Angels were down 6-2 at one point but rallied from that deficit, and later Troy Glaus hit a two-run home run to give the Angels the lead for good.

I know. When the Dodgers play the Rockies, one of us will win and the other will lose. As for the Angels, that's different, since they're in the American League. I will cheer for the Rockies whenever they play the Braves, and next month when they play the Yankees. >grin< ;)

By the way, were you a fan of any team before the Rockies came into existence 11 years ago? I'm just wondering.

Yeah, recently my Dodgers had an eight-game losing streak. But they won last night in Milwaukee. They've had an easy time against the Brewers the past three years. Last year they won all three games in Milwaukee while the Brewers won two games in L.A. (for the first time since 2000).

(They're not actually tied for first; it's just that the Padres have played more games than the Dodgers, so they're zero games behind, if you will. ;)) Anyway, congratz on your Rockies ending their skid. ;)

Well, the Angels won; they beat the Red Sox 7-4; the only down side is that the Yankees won, putting them into sole possession of first place in the AL East. But we're still in early June, so the Sox will have plenty of opportunities to catch the Yanks. Just as long as the Yanks don't finish in first or win the wildcard spot (like they did in 1997), that's ok by me.

I believe they were the best team in baseball. A World Series title was definately within striking distance.

But when it comes to the fire sale that the Expos had the following year, I put the blame squarely on the shoulders of the local ownership. THEY were the greedy ones. All they had to do was invest a few million into the team in order to keep the players. Instead they decided to pocket the money and screw the fans.

They didn't want to invest any money unless they were guaranteed a profit, and of course everyone knows that that is not how things go in professional sports.

I totally agree....my dad told me once that if all the owners would just agree to not give these bastards all that money then things may just work out...problem is there will always be a few...like NY George who won't honor that agreement. Another point to bring up...when the NFL went on strike in '87 the Denver Broncos had a replacement player at running back named Joe Dudek, I refuse to refer to these guys as "scabs"...anyway, he was interviewed at the time and they asked him about the money. He stated that as long as he had enough to live and raise his family he was just fine with a meager amount. He said he was grateful for the opportunity to play and glad he was gifted enough to do so. Speaking of the Broncos, John Elway used to restructure his contract all the time and take less money so the team could get some decent players. He may be rich but he's also honest :)

And in Toronto, the Blue Jays take the opener, 7-1 over the Dodgers. I guess Hideo Nomo isn't his old self no mo ;D. On the plus side, Shawn Green hit a home run in his old ballpark (he was originally with the Blue Jays).

And the Angels end up losing in 17 innings to their old friends the Brewers, 1-0.

I'm just glad to see that teams, other than mine, are having some real rough spots.  I hesitiate to "name names", but my team is doing pretty awful this year--too depressing for me to watch most of the time.  In the words of Mufasa (from the Lion King):
You are so much more than what you have become..  :\'(

They have been so on top of their game for the past few years, too...it's sad. 
But, I guess that's what happens when you get a new manager and trade off some of the best players on the team.  I really feel, at least in our case, that the team needs a good mixture of players to do really well, even if they don't hit them out of the park game after game..no heroes.  I think that's what made us as good as we were.  It's the chemistry between the players that kept us going.  A lot of guys that were just totally willing to bunt, totally willing to give up their spotlight just to help the team. It wasn't about personal glory.  I mean, that may very well be basic knowledge for all baseball players--but since I rarely pay attention to any team besides mine, I don't know how the rest of them "work". 

We need our old manager (or at least someone trained BY him!) back!!  :\'(

I will agree that I am a big "Yankee Hater" as well.  And for those who think it's because of 'their success', it's not. Heck, in the past, we have all but OWNED them at Yankee Stadium. It's because I think their fans are the rudest and most obnoxious out there (at least the ones at the games)--no offense, if there are any of you here--(I'm sure YOU are very sweet   :-*) but I just think the 'rest of the fans' horrid behavior just rubs me wrong about the whole team.  I mean, if the team wants to spend a bazillion dollars on their players, go right ahead. But ALL the screaming, booing, throwing sh*t..I mean, grow up already! I'm sorry!  :-X

(Yes, all the teams fans boo--I know this--but, I see it a whole lot less elsewhere.  And in the games I'VE personally been to, most of OUR boos are saved for OUR former players that left us to go get more money. :P)

I am happy that the Yankees failed to sweep the Diamondbacks; the D'backs won that game, 8-1. The Braves also lost, 10-4 to the Royals. :D

Well my Rockies rebounded to beat the O's 5-3 while the Yankees and LA are tied 3-3 in the 6th....I remember when Fernando and the Dodgers won the '81 World Series over them too ;) Also tonight the Cardinals won 4-3 over the Reds :)

That's good...the Dodgers beat the Yankees by a score of 6-3; Jeff Weaver hung on to beat his former team. Your Rockies' win extends the Orioles' losing streak to 6 (now they're in last place); the Red Sox beat the Giants to gain ground on the Yanks; and the Indians beat the Braves (it was the teams' first meeting since the '95 World Series), and so the braves are now in fourth place in the NL East!! :D (Hey, that doesn't bother me any.)

Anybody here catch the Red Sox/Giants game today?  The Red Sox were playing the SF Giants for the first time ever or something like the first time in 80 years, can't really remember which.

Tickets were just about sold out in 20 minutes and a few days ago only 4 were available but they were going for over $1,000  Just incredible!  on my pathetic salary I could never afford to go to those games!

I had been searching for a Mets tee shirt for a long time now. My mother lives in NY state so I figured it would fairly easy for her to find one for me. No luck. I finally found one-IN PUERTO RICO. Yes, that right, I had to go to PR to find my Mets tee shirt. Unfortunately, the only size they had was men's large (it was either that or boy's size small). So today I am PROUDLY drowning in my Mets tee shirt that is about 3 sizes too big for me.  ;D

Sorry to hear that, R&R Fan. On the plus side, the Dodgers narrowly beat the Yankees, 5-4. In the top of the 9th inning, Eric Gagne gave up a leadoff home run to Jason Giambi but managed to get the last three outs for his 18th save of the year and 81st consecutive. He was on the verge of his first blown save in 22 months. So the Dodgers win the series against the Yanks, 2 games to 1.

No such luck; we were leading early in the game, but the Angels came back to tie it up at 5, but then in the 8th inning, with Guillermo Mota on the mound, Vladimir Guerrero singled and then stole second, right before Garrett Anderson hit it out to give the Angels the lead for good, 7-5.

Last night, my mother called me to tell me that the Mets were annilating the Yanks-11-2  ;D  Then today, I turned on the game in the 7th. What a game. At the time I turned it on, the score was 8-7, the Yanks but the Mets made two runs that inning. In the 8th, the Yanks came back and tied the score. I thought they were going to go ahead because they decided to bring in "Captain" John Franco. Now, don't get me wrong, I really like Captain John but I really do think that his pitching days are over. He manage to get the bases loaded with 2 outs. (I think he walked a couple). The last guy had a full count and I thought he was going to walk in the go-ahead run. But he did come through. Then in the 9th, the Mets FINALLY got the run ended the game 8-10.  ;D ;D ;D Man, what a game. And I only watched the last few innings.

Yeah, I was watching that game on TV earlier. Congratz to the Cubs, Dagny. ;) My Dodgers already won a series in Anaheim for the first time since 1999. (Every year from 2000 to 2003, the Angels won at least two games in their ballpark against the Dodgers, including a sweep last year.) The final score in tonight's game was L.A. 6, Anaheim 2. :)

How about that---the Mets already won today, completing a sweep of the Yankees, and winning the season series against them for this year! :D (Last year, as you may recall, the Yanks took all three games at Shea Stadium and all three games at Yankee Stadium, thus sweeping the season series.)

Count me in. They lost again to the Tigers, 10 to 8. And the Angels shut out the White Sox, 12 to nothing; Jarrod Washburn beat his former teammate Scott Schoenweis. And speaking of shutouts, Kazahisu Ishii of the Dodgers pitched a complete game shutout against the D'backs (and his second this year; his first was against the Giants back in April) as his team won, 11-zip. So the Dodgers completed a three-game sweep of the Arizonas. :)

I was wondering if any Sox fans out there know the names of guys traded by the Sox that went on to get in the Hall of Fame.  Eckersley is headed there and I was wondering what Sox company he'd be in, beside Clemens.
I'd say Babe Ruth...the biggest blunder the Sox ever made...trading him to those damn yankees :(

Congratz to your Rockies, R&R Fan. It wasn't a good day for my Dodgers, though, as they got shut out by the Padres, 3 to nothing. :( On the plus side, the Red Sox beat the Yankees. (I was watching that game on ESPN during "Rush Hour 2" commercial breaks on TNT.)

Congratulations, RockandRollfan; my Dodgers beat the Padres last night 12-3. Again, Milton Bradley robbed someone of a two-run homer by making another remarkable catch. The very next inning, he hit a two-run homer of his own; this began a seven-run fourth inning, which I watched on TV. Bradley hit another home run later in the game.

That's the good news. The bad news is that three Dodgers got traded to the Marlins yesterday: Paul LoDuca ( :( ), Guillermo Mota, and Juan Encarnacion (who was with the Marlins last year when they won the World Series, now he's back with them). The new Dodgers include starting pitcher Brad Penny and first-baseman Hee-Seop Choi, who are pretty good. We'll see how they do.

Cubs pluck Garciaparra from Bosox in four-team trade
By Howard Ulman, The Associated Press
BOSTON — The Boston Red Sox sent star Nomar Garciaparra to the Chicago Cubs in a blockbuster, four-team deal Saturday that also involved shortstops Orlando Cabrera and Alex Gonzalez.

The Red Sox wound up with Cabrera and Minnesota first baseman Doug Mientkiewicz while the Cubs got Garciaparra and minor league outfielder Matt Murton.

Montreal acquired Gonzalez, pitcher Francis Beltran and infielder Brendan Harris and the Twins got minor league pitcher Justin Jones.

The trade was officially announced shortly after the 4 p.m. ET deadline for making deals without waivers.

Garciaparra is a five-time All-Star and a two-time AL batting champion, and is in the final year of his contract. The trade brought an end to his stellar career in Boston, one which was overshadowed for the past year by trade rumors and an injury.

"I think he will bring a ton to the table and a presence on the field and off," Cubs general manager Jim Hendry said. "You never go to work thinking he's going to be available."

Last winter, after Garciaparra rejected a four-year, $60 million extension, the Red Sox tried furiously to acquire Alex Rodriguez from Texas to play shortstop. Although it would have been Manny Ramirez going to the Rangers, the Red Sox would have then shipped out Garciaparra, possibly to either the Chicago White Sox or Los Angeles.

Instead, Rodriguez went to the New York Yankees — to play third base — and Garciaparra stayed and stewed. Confessing that his feelings were hurt, he said he still wanted to finish his career with the Red Sox.

But the good feelings didn't last through spring training. After eight hitless at-bats, he injured his Achilles tendon and missed 57 games with an injury that was supposed to keep him out a week.

Published but unattributed speculation from within the front office that he was taking his time coming back upset Garciaparra anew before all seemed forgotten when he returned to a series of standing ovations on June 9.

"You never forget that the fans here are just amazing," he said then. "I deeply and truly appreciate it. I can't thank them enough."

Garciaparra, 31, sat out Friday night's game against Minnesota because of soreness. He is batting .321 with 5 home runs and 21 RBI in 38 games this season.

Garciaparra's best season was 1998, when he batted .323 with 35 home runs and 122 RBI.

Cabrera, a former Gold Glove winner, is batting .246 with four home runs and 31 RBI.

Gonzalez has been injured for much of the season. He's hitting only .222 with three home runs and eight RBI.

Mientkiewicz is hitting .246 with five homers and 25 RBI and is known for a good glove, something the Red Sox need at first base.

The braves had had it easy for much too long....at least the umpires don't give thier pitchers the outrageous strike zone anymore....remember when ESPN aired a special that proved the umps made it a huge strike zone...Javier Lopezwas the cathcer at the time and man, did he whine about that show.

My Dodgers won last night, 3-2! In Brad Penny's debut with the Dodgers, he allowed no runs through eight innings, and Eric Gagne came on to pitch the 9th. He got the first two outs in the bottom of the 9th, but then he gave up a walk, two hits, and two runs, so he was on the verge of blowing another save. Thank god that didn't happen, as he got the very next batter out.

Oh, and the Yankees got pounded by the Oakland A's, 13-4 ;D; the Braves lost; and the Phillies won.

Maddux Joins 300-Win Club as Cubs Down Giants

By Ed Chin

SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Chicago Cubs (news) pitcher Greg Maddux (news) became the 22nd player in major league history to register 300 wins in his team's 8-4 victory over the San Francisco Giants (news) on Saturday.

The 38-year-old Maddux joins Hall of Famers Lefty Grove and Early Wynn in a tie for 20th place on the list of most victories in the sport's professional history.

"It's a sense of relief after all the hype that's been going on," Maddux said. "Obviously, when you win 300 games, you've got to have a lot of help. You try to give your team a chance to win, and if you do that, you can sleep good at night."

After a shaky start in which the Cubs fell behind 3-0, Maddux (11-7) completed five innings and gave up four runs on seven hits with three strikeouts.

He left the game with a 6-4 lead and five other pitchers finished off the job as Moises Alou (news) added a two-run homer in the top of the ninth inning to complete the scoring.

"I really didn't pitch all that good today," Maddux said. "But six runs, good defense and everybody in the bullpen pitched well, and that did it. It was a team effort and great to see."

His modesty did not go unnoticed.

"He's the same all the time. He didn't show any extra emotion today," Cubs manager Dusty Baker said of Maddux, who did not go onto the field at the end of the game to celebrate the win that took his career record to 300-170.

Maddux has had only two 20-win seasons since he started his major league career in 1986, yet he has won steadily over the years, chalking up at least 15 wins per season between 1988 and 2003.

The Cubs ace has also won 11 post-season games with both Chicago and the Atlanta Braves (news).

The Texan-born right-hander nicknamed "Mad Dog" won the Cy Young award for best pitcher in the National League four consecutive times from 1992-1995.

Young heads the list of pitching wins on 511, while Houston's Roger Clemens (news) is the only other active player with 300 or more victories and he can add to his 322 against Montreal on Sunday.

All right! Dodgers beat the Reds again; this time by a score of 11 to 1! Jeff Weaver no longer has a losing record, as he is now 10-10 for the year. ;D Anyway, in the first inning, the Dodgers got 4 runs on only 1 hit; see, the bases were loaded with batters who had either been walked or hit by a pitch; the first run was scored when Steve Finley walked with the bases loaded; then Jose Hernandez hit a triple which scored the other three guys on base. After four innings it was 11-0 L.A.; the Reds got a run in the bottom of the 4th.

If the Dodgers win tomorrow, then L.A. will have swept Cincinnati, and the visiting team will have won every game in the L.A.-Cincinnati season series.

The Braves now have a 7 game lead in the NL East.  They have gone 33-10 in their last 43 games.  One thing that makes this Braves team more dangours come time for the playoffs over the Braves teams of the past is that this year the team gets run production from hits instead of the long ball.

Big series starting today though when the Braves take on the Cardinals which could be a preview for the first round of the playoffs this year.

So, after 13 years they make his life miserable, trade him, like many traded Sox before him he
goes on to better things, and now that he is on his last legs,(still doing well, but past his prime)
they want him back.  Can someone tell me?  Oh, to repeat I'm in/from Massachusetts and not a

At this rate, it now appears that Beltre just might break Shawn Green's single-season record for home runs by an L.A. Dodger set three years ago (49). To do that, he needs 10; he just might do it. 8) ;D
Let's see...the Dodgers have played 125 games thus far and Adrian has hit 40 homers. This means he would be on pace for about 51. (I did a little math to figure that out.)

They were playing the Cleveland Indians earlier...I was in Chili's and saw that one TV in the bar was tuned to ESPN, where that game was airing; Indians couldn't hold on to a 2-1 lead; when I left the restaurant, it was 3-2 Yanks (I forgot what inning). Another TV in the bar was showing the Dodgers game; my team was losing, 6-3, in the 6th.

Well...the Indians came back to beat the Yankees, 4-3, and end a nine-game skid. :) I think the Red Sox also won.

Things weren't so great for the Dodgers, though. Jose Lima was handed his fourth loss of the season as his team fell, 6-3. No homers for the Dodgers. On a more depressing note, the Giants beat the Marlins to gain ground on the Dodger lead and the Braves won to extend their lead over the Marlins...sorry RockFan, they beat your Rockies again. :-[

Dodgers won, 10-3. Jeff Weaver improves to 12-10; he has won 5 straight decisions. However, the Giants blanked the Marlins, which is bad for two reasons: 1-They remain 5 back of the Dodgers in the NL West; and 2-The Marlins fall further back of the Braves, who are on the verge of sweeping RockFan's Rockies.

Yup...I was watching the game during the 4th inning when the Mets made two errors, enabling the Dodgers to score two unearned runs. The Dodgers' starter, Kazuhisu Ishii, who improved to 13-6, got a single but reached second on an error; he later scored. Robin Ventura hit a grand-slam home run; Adrian Beltre was kept quiet.

Tomorrow, the Dodgers begin a three-game series in Arizona; the Diamondbacks have only beaten the Dodgers twice this year (once in L.A. and once in Arizona) out of the 13 meetings they've had. We'll see what happens...

I haven't posted on this thread for a long time because once again, my Mets never fail to disappoint me. Everyday I read how they lost, and then lost, and then lost again. I really don't know how many games in a row they have lost. I think as of today, they are 18 games out or something like that. So yeah, I am upset and frustriated.

I update this thread once every day or two or three and tell about how my Dodgers are doing. Yesterday they lost, 3-1, to the Arizona Diamondbacks; it was only the third time this year that the D'backs have beaten the Dodgers this year, out of 15 games played between the two teams. This time I think it was because the Dodgers brought Hideo Nomo back into the rotation. Nomo hasn't done very well in his last several starts, the last of which was many moons ago. He hasn't won since April 21st, and since then, he's lost ten straight decisions. (He was on the D.L. for a couple months.) In his defense, though, I'm sure he tried to do well. :-\\

Cat, I can definately feel your pain....my Rockies falter every year it seems. They did pick up a pleasing win over the Giants last night though...so THAT helps nallys Dodgers and Dagny's Cubs! I'm lucky that the Rockies weren't around before '93 and that I was a HUGE Cardinal fan before. They are doing great...I hope they stay hot enough come playoff time to win it all :) As for the Mets....I think they should let Piazza stay at first....less wear and tear on the knees....but with him in the line-up the Mets always have a chance :) Hopefully the Mets AND Rockies can get better next year!

But the Dodgers won, 6-5. For the second night in a row, a Dodger pinch-hitter hits a grand slam; this time it was Olmedo Saenz. Before he hit it, his team was down 3-0; he put the Dodgers on the board and gave 'em a 4-3 lead. However, the very next inning (sixth), Elmer Dessens — pitching against his former team — gave up a two-run homer; the D'backs took back the lead, 5-4. Later, the Dodgers tied it up again and it stayed that way through the ninth inning, and in the bottom of the ninth, with Cesar Izturis on base, Steve Finley (another former D'back) hit it to deep right field, scoring Izturis and thus winning the game. Eric Gagne, who had pitched the top of the ninth, got his sixth win of the season. :)

The Royals and Tigers split a doubleheader in Detroit yesterday, with KC torturing the Tigers in the first game, 26 to 5 :o, but then the Royals didn't score at all in the second game as the Tigers won, 8-0.

I'm happy when anyone beats the Braves, cause the more they lose, the less likely they are to appear in the playoffs. But this year it looks like they're going to be in the playoffs yet again; I will cheer for whatever team plays them in the Division Series. However, I have cheered for the Braves in the past, but only when they play regular-season games against the Giants.

I was not offended at all, and even though I don't like the Yankees I do have to admit I also like Joe Torre, he is a good guy.  As for Cox I agree his personal life has not be the greatest but you have to give the man credit he knows how to manage a baseball team.  I have been a Braves fan since 1991 but not just because thats when they started winning but because I was 8 years of age and had just started watching baseball and lived in Atlanta.  Like nally said a lot of people don't like the Tomohawk Chop but thats probably part of the reason that we still do it.

Though I have always noticed that people don't like winners.  You look at baseball two of the most disliked teams in baseball are the Yankees and Braves and they are the two teams that keep winning and then you look at the Cubs who are probably one of the most liked teams and up until recently they had always been one of the worst teams.  Same for football a lot of people don't like Dallas and they were one of the if not the best team of the 90s in football.  Basketball the same way with the Lakers.

Again, the Dodgers take their game into extra innings, finally winning it in the 11th with a two-run homer by David Ross. Final score: Los Angeles 4, Colorado 2. In all four games of the series, the P.O.R. (pitcher of record) was a reliever, especially for the Dodgers. Yhency Brazoban was the P.O.R. in three out of the four.

Giants won, so they still remain 3 games back of the Dodgers. However, they've clinched a tie for first (the Dodgers have 92 wins and the Giants have 70 losses), so the Dodgers must beat the Giants at least once this weekend to clinch the West division.

Well, the Cubs lost at Wrigley again to the Braves 5-4, So if they don't win both Saturday and Sunday, here's to another 75 years of futility, as someone said last year. :(

Update:
The Astros did win their game with Colorado 4-2 at Minute Maid Park in Houston. They are two up on the Cubs. So they need to lose to the Rockies twice for the Cubs to have any chance.
The Giants lead 2-0 over the Dodgers in LA. If they win tonight, they will also be two up with two more games in Dodger Stadium.

On a more positive note: Ichiro Suzuki has tied breaks George Sisler's hits mark with a single in the third. Anything after that will be symbolized by an asterisk, since Sisler set the record in 154 games.

I agree AOL sucks, for several reasons.  One being AOL Time Warner has cut the Braves payroll a big part of the reason Millwood was traded, and why people like Castilla, Lopez, Sheffield, Glavine, and Maddux are now gone.

What reply in what thread?  When have the braves' become whiney?
Earlier in THIS one....how soon we forget..

Oh, where do I begin? When Javier Lopez was the catcher there they talked to him about the HUGE strike zone that seemed to always be around for those Atlanta pitchers..they SHOWED him replys of pitches WAY outside being called strikes whereas the opposing teams were called balls...okay...Umps fault but Lopez was LIVID and denied what was right in front of him. Thier announcers go on & on about how brilliant they are and are so BIASED...more than any home team announcers should be. THAT is just for starters....don't EVEN get me going on Bobby Cox  Hey...bottom line is they are your favorite team...and you have every right to your opinions...but so does everyone else.

It's ok; I was just curious. But it doesn't matter, as the Yanks added two more runs of their own and won it 10-7. :( Curt Schilling obviously wasn't his usual self as he left the game after only three innings. I just hope the yanks lose tonight. (Game 2 is tonight, right?)

The problem with the Sox is, they don't know when to keep their mouths shut.  A couple of years ago
Pedro said of the Curse of the Bambino that he didn't believe in curses and if they dug up the
Bambino he'd "drill him up the *ss".  Well doggone if he didn't sit out with an injury the rest of the
season.  Not one more pitch was thrown in a game.  Now we have Shilling saying he is going to
NY to shut up 50,000 Yankee fans, and look what happens with him. They should take their cues
from Belichek and the boys, give credit where credit is due, tone it down and just play the game. ;)

There's no denying that the Yankees and Red Sox will always be what drives baseball, but the "that other" pennant series with the Astros and Cardinals is far more exciting and thrilling in my opinion.  Now let me sit and muse this victory, thinking about other Astros's legends like Mike Scott and that guy named Nolan Ryan,...this team will finally be able to get there where those guys didn't.

I even got one of those funky old rainbow Astros jerseys that they used to wear back in the 70's and 80's.

The Cardinals are anything BUT cocky! I think you have a point as far as the media making Houston out to be underrated but I kinda resent the cocky comment. St. Louis AND Houston are BOTH very good teams with very humble players that have loads of talent. I HATE the Yanks and will root for the Astros if they advance against them. If It ends up that Boston goes then I'd like to see them beat Houston....but Not St. Louis.

^Yeah I know St. Louis has good guys playing for them, which is why it's hard to get worked up to "hate hate" them the way I can for the Braves or Yankees.  Even the Astros admit that most of the Cardinals are bunch of nice guys.  But there were a couple of Card players that blabbered on about how they are a far superior team after Game 1 and 2, (both games the Astros had leads) and a lot of ESPN and Fox Sports guys kept on with how this series was going to be a Cardinals cakewalk. 

OK so the Astros will never be the Yankees or Red Sox, or hell even the Cardinals.  They admit that.  The Cards are more of a marketable team, but you' be annoyed too if your team was consistently treated like fluff by the national media.  It also kinda sucks that Roger Clemens is not the same kind of national hero he was now that he's with a Houston team.  The exact same thing happened when Randy Johnson joined the Astros a few years ago, and Charles Barkely joined the Rockets back in the mid 90s.  Both of them went from American icons, to merely local Houston heroes.

It could be a Texas backlash as opposed to a sports thing.  Outside of Texas Texans are seen as having
the personality of the NY Yankees.  Everything is bigger in Texas, everything is better in Texas.  There is
an appearance of arrogance(rightly or wrongly) of Texans feeling that they are more American than the
rest of the USA.  Aside from all that the Sox/Yankee game was almost tedious.  I don't know who schedules
games in New England at night after September  30, but whoever it is they are idiots(I know it's a prime time
thing).  You can see how cold the pitchers get, they don't have gloves on and you can almost fell their
fingers freezing up.  So the innings went on and on and was more of a contest of who could outlast who,
in the end it was the Sox.

Though I have to say, at this point, even if they don't make it, they shook up the Yanks enough that whoever faces them should have an easier time of it.

Shell Shock is all anyone can possibly say about what went on in Yankee Stadium.
Remember when I said the Sox needed to keep their mouths shut?  Well, they came
out and said they were taking a look at the Patriots organization(Belichek) and the way
they play.  They kept their mouths shut, played the game and now look where they are.
So who will they be playing?  They've played the Cards twice in the series before, maybe
this will be they year they play them again.

it's just shocking to see the Sox not only make it to the World Series, but go through the Yanks after being down by 3 games.  This could be the years folks. Red Sox fans are total fanatics.  If you were one of the players on the team that brought the Sox their first World Series title in 80+ years, they'd probably build statues in your honor on the Boston Common.  Which is kind of silly for a baseball team, but then again we named a multi-million dollar tunnel after Ted Williams, so I guess they take the sports seriousily up here.

If they win the World Series, yes. They haven't won a WS in 86 years; however, they've made it to the Series a few times since, most recently in 1986, only to lose to the Mets.

By the way, I was watching the game last night from the moment I got home, and I saw Johnny Damon hit that grand slam in the 2nd inning after Javier Vasquez took over the Yankees' pitching from Kevin Brown. I think Terry Francona made a mistake in the 7th inning taking Derek Lowe out in the 7th and putting Pedro Martinez in relief; Pedro gave up two runs. Mike Timlin pitched the 8th and 9th innings and didn't allow any runs. All I can say now is... WOO HOO! :D

Nooooooo, not by a long shot.  They have been in the series 5 times since 1918 and lost them all.  The
last time was to the Mets in '86 in the seventh game.  that was the year Bill Buckner missed a catch when
it went between his legs in the sixth game, 11th inning.  That missed catch allowed the Mets to win and
force a 7th game.  Buckner had to leave town because of the death threats, seriously, it can be that bad
with some of these fans and there was a real threat to him and his family.  They have lost twice to the
Cardinals so this could be an interesting turn if the Cards win tonight.

Let Boston fans enjoy their magic moment.  Last night's victory will do good for Sox esteem regardless of their performance in the World Series.
Think about it.  The Sox lost three straight games against their archrivals, and went on to WIN four straight to take the American League series championship--the first such victory in League history.  For the Boston Red Sox to defeat the New York Yankees this way is second only to winning the World Series and killing the Curse.  In its own way, League victory over the Yankees is the best catharsis for frustrated Sox fans.  Beating the Yankees in a seven game series couldn't be sweeter!
One thing Yankees fans ought to be able to do--TAKE IT!
Think of how many times the Yankees have been on top.  They've won 25 World Series since the Sox traded them the Babe in 1920.  The Sox have only been in five and lost 'em all!
And think of the disproportionate number of times the Sox have fought so hard only to be bested by the Yanks in the end.  New Yorkers ought to just tip their collective hat to Boston...and wait 'till next season!

Larry Walker spoke for all the Cardinals in saying that Houston is a class team. It's too bad they both can't merge to play in the World series. I loved St. Louis since before the Rockies were born so I will root for the Red Birds. I do like both teams thoguh so it won't bother me if Boston takes it.

Nice performance by Walker, he is a danger, and a great catch by him early on.

I think the Bo Sox looked to be in good form, however homefield advantage especially at Fenway basically gives you an extra man. We'll see what happens when the series get's to Busch.

Looks like the Sox are set up to take it, of course with the Sox it ain't over "til it's over, I"m not a fan of theirs, they are usually such a self centered, whiny bunch, but they have made
a classy move.  They got together and decided to award Nomar Garciaparra what would have been his share of the purse(this is a player decision, not management).  Nomar was
Mr. Red Sox, loved the team, and what went down when he was traded was pretty ugly, management basically ran him out, and the players want to make it up to him.  Says alot for him and them. ;)

It looks really good for the Sox but remember they were behind by 3 games in the playoffs and came back to win it-so I am just watching and hoping they don't blow it. What I thought was a classy move they made was before either game 1 or 2 (can't remember which one) they honored that girl who was killed during the celebration of them winning the AL title. I thought that was very nice of them to do.

My fingers are crossed for tonight's game.

It was a great year all around. St. Louis was picked to finish behind the Cubs and Astros and yet they went on to suprise all the doubters. As for Boston, I remember not long ago when people were saying how Tampa Bay was going to pass them for 2nd in the division. It was a great playoffs for them but I would've thought they had nothing left after dispatching the Wankees.

You also need to consider the fact that there were a few injuries in the St. Louis line up.. and Boston has like what 2 days more rest, hell thats a lot when you have so many games crammed together. I am not making excuses, because the Sox were sure as hell the better team for games 2,3 & 4. (Let's not talk about Game 1) But i do belive that the Cards got the short straw. But what really pissed me off this year was that The All Star Game, which just used to be a fun charity thing, has now all of a sudden become this all important fixture. During the regular season the Cardinals were by a long way the best team in baseball, yet they don't get home field advantage.. as a certian Mr Helms would say.. Wassup Wit Dat?

FIRST and foremost....I want The Red Sox fans to KNOW that I believe Boston deserved the win...and congratulations! Now...as for home field...it USED to make sense because the AL and NL traded every year...but since inter-league play I see NO reson to use it anymore. St. Louis got the short end in 1987 against the "Twinkies" when, although having the better record, were forced to play 4 of 7 in the "Hefty Dome"  ::)

Thanks RnR Fan.  See, I have no interest in pro-sports per se.  I rarely have clue about what's going on.  However, The Curse of the Bambino loomed so large in the psyche of every native New Englander that you couldn't help be effected.  We felt like permanent underdogs, always a bridesmaid, never a bride.  Furthermore, there could be no more bitter a pill than 1986.  It felt like the Buckner ****-up was orchestrated by the devil himself! 
Now, the Patriots had a horrible time of things for many years, and it was yet again the year 1986 when the Bears mauled the Pats in a humiliating Superbowl defeat.  The Patriots redeemed themselves in recent years, even winning the Superbowl.
It seemed the right thing for the Sox to be able to redeem themselves too, and they have!  I was emotionally vested in the series because I felt a loss for the Sox in sixth or seventh game would be psychologically damaging to Boston.  Oh, to have to hang our heads for yet another generation as the Curse lived on!
Thank you Red Sox!  You done Boston right!

Now, when are the Cubs gonna get to sing their redemption song?
