YEA APPARENTLY THEY PUT SOME KIND OF ATTRACTANT IN THE ROSEN BAG

Hey Muddy,

The Rockies are red hot and now they wait eight days to play again. What kinda fix is in with MLB that playoffs get pushed back and the World Series competes with Halloweeen? I thought baseball  was played by "the boys of summer"?

IT'S CALLED NETWORK TV

Ya'll know I love my Yankees.....BUT..... if I were Joe Torre I'd tell em to go take a hike at this point.....we're really missing the boat treating him this way. There's nobody else that can do the job he does with this team!!!! > > > >

IT'S CALLED NETWORK TV

Don't get me started.  An off night in the playoffs?

They'd stretch the series 3 weeks each if they could get away with it.  Very surprised the division series hasn't gone to 7 games yet.

Man are you right about that! It all started with lowering the mounds, then lights in Wrigley and moving the WS to prime time, not to mention what happened to regularly scheduled Double headers!  Geezzz

Red Sox its do or die tonight. So in this solemn occasion I think we all need to bow our heads and say "The Fenway Prayer".   ;D ;D

Our Father, who art at Fenway...

Baseball be thy game,

Thy kingdom come,

Playoffs need to be won,

On Earth, then on to the Cask 'n' Flagon.

Give us this day, a perfect Papi,

And forgive us our losses,

As we forgive those,

Like Eric Gagne.

And lead us not, into desperation,

But deliver us from any losses.

For thine is the Power,

And the Glory,

To beat the Indians,

Forever and ever.....the Yankees suck.

Amen

Go RED SOX!!!

Well being a Red Sox fan you know how I feel about the NYYannkees, that said. I couldnt agree with you more. I respect Torre for the job he has done and continues to do and the professional classy manner in which he does it. If the <cough> brain trust <cough> of the organization ends up not keeping him I think you will end up seeing quite a few years before their next WS win. Just my opinion.

Go Injuns!

If for no other reason than to laugh while everyone is sitting at home when they could be playing baseball.

IT'S CALLED NETWORK TV

And they wonder why kids aren't as drawn to baseball as they used to be. What kid, in the eastern half of the country anyway, can stay up to watch the playoffs and WS on school nights anymore? I'm old enough to remember when the WS was played during the day and we had TVs in study hall.

Game seven of the WS is now scheduled for Nov 1. I think the networks are now hurting themselves. Aside from the fans in the two cities who will play in the WS, who's going to care at that point? It wouldn't surprise me if the numbers are down for the WS this year.

YOU GOTTA LOVE THIS GAME: RISK KID JUST CALLED ME WITH THE NEWS THAT THE INDIANS HAVE BECKETT'S EX GIRLFRIEND TO SING THE NATIONAL ANTHEM TONITE

Here's a great article about the status of baseball and a number of reasons why it's popularity has waned.

I'll see if it works before game 6...

[move]SOX WIN!        SOX WIN!         SOX WIN![/move]

Thanks Dustin Pedroia, Kevin Youkilis, and J.D. Drew for a great game 7 performance.

Thanks Beckett, you pitched a great series...

NEXT!

           GO ROCKIES

BELIEVE

With a 143 million dollar payroll second only to the Yankees, it shouldn't be that difficult for Red Sox fans to believe.  Sorry, Red Sox nation, but rooting for your team is similar to rooting for the Yankees.  Go Rockies!  

With all due respect to Red Sox fans, I'm just a sorry-a.. Cardinal fan who hasn't forgotten the 2004 World Series.    Plus, I can't remember the last time I really let some trash fly.  Still, though, the Red Sox have a lot of money invested in that team.  See below.

Now correct me if Im wrong senile1, but didnt you guys win the World Series last year? Now Cmon you cant have sour grapes from the 2004 season, after just winning the 2006 World Series. Well it should be a great matchup. To be honest I dont pay any attention to the National League, so I have no idea what the Colorado Rockies are bringing.

You're right, lPa1nl.  But the way you guys swept us is hard to forget.  I actually don't dislike the Red Sox.  I did root for them to break "the curse."      Otherwise, I was pulling for some new faces in the playoffs this year, so the Rockies were one of those teams.
