The ONE and ONLY World Series Thread

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Okay, so I'm a little late, but I had to comment on the Cardinals' baserunning so far in this game; horrendous. They's allowed themselves to have two runs taken away from them by the two worst defenders on the entire Red Sox team... whasupwitdat?

[VF21]

I don't generally watch the "other" b-ball... I have to confess to sneaking a peak every now and then for this series. Having watched their team defeat the Anti-Christ and his minions, making MLB history while doing so, I can't help but hope this is the year for long-suffering Boston fans.

SOX ROXS!!

;)

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

I tell you what: I don't actually watch a lot of baseball, but in what I've seen of the past two postseasons, I've never seen a team that was better at scoring with two outs than the Red Sox have been in the ALCS and the World Series. There be clutch hitting.

The Fat Lady isn't singing, but she is offstage warming up.














Then again, thats what the Yankees thought. ;)

[Grobar]

3-0 baby... 3-0... go SOX.

if the sox win this year, then the cubs have to win next year :D

cardinal's bombers have dissapeared... rolen and edmons have totally gone off the map. i don't think rolen has a hit yet in the WS.

[hoopsfan]

Now that the Sox are up 3-0...now I hope they lose the next 4. How weird would that be??

More than weird and unbelievably historic, it would make "the curse" immortal and more invicible than ever.

[RageMe11]

The sox are too dominant right now for them too lose. Their pitching is flawless and thier hitting has been incredible. There is no way that the cardinals are going to make any type of comeback, maybe i might give them one game tonight, but that is in a dead end, must win effort. Although I would really like for the games to go back to good ol' BEAN-TOWN so they can win their and have the crowd run on the filed or somethin crazy like that, like in the old days, remember? Other than that.....GO SOX!!!

[vj9999]

I think tonight everybody is Red Sox fan............ well except for Cardinals fans :)

Go Red Sox!!

and there is always next year for Cubbies

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

I think tonight everybody is Red Sox fan............ well except for Cardinals fans :)... And Yankee fans...


Q. What do you call twenty-five guys watching the World Series?








































A. The Yankees.

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

That pop out clinched it, I think...

Cue the fat lady!

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Five outs remaining in the Cardinals' season...

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Four.

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Make that three... If there are any ghosts in Busch Stadium, somebody better wake them up PDQ...

[6th]

I am extremely disappointed. The ALCS and the NLCS were both exciting 7 game series. Then, the Cardinals forget to show up for the World Series. What is up with that? I hate 4 game sweeps.........boring, boring, boring. But, that sure looks like what we are headed for.

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Well, since I'm pulling for the Red Sox, I'm glad it looks like a sweep; I couldn't imagine the despair and panic in New England if Boston fails to close this game out...

Heart of the Cardinals' order in the bottom of the ninth; if it's going to happen, it's got to happen now.

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

ONE OUT AWAY!!!

:: holds breath ::

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

IT'S OVAH!

[Bricklayer]

Bit of a bummer for baseball though -- its a boring sport but like any sport (see hockey) a good playoff season can be exciting and win you fans. They were having a great postseason, but then the it kind of had to go and peak one week before the actual final out. Any new fans you thought you'd won in the championship series then get treated to a routine and not terribly exciting World Series, and maybe the excitement ebbs. Oh well.

Agreed, Brick......and my point, exactly. It is never fun to see a 4 game World Series...especially when it is such a let down after great League Championship Series. They did get a lot of fans watching though, simply to see the curse broken.

[Variant]

Congrats Red Sox. :)

I loved that commercial.........way cool!!!

[vj9999]

What curse... Red Sox fans never believed in the curse anyway :)

Now Cubs and curses thats another story.

Congrats Red Sox!!

Cubs in 2005

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

It is if the team you're rooting for is on the winning end; I know *I* had fun...

[6th]

BTW - Babe, you can stop haunting Boston now. RIP!

[ReinadelosReys]

In a pure sense of sport, I don't know how any sports fan can watch this series, this post season, these Boston Red Sox's and not be inpsired...not have hope for their team. A team that you know is good, but something is always holding them back. There is hope, Boston personified that in every sense of the word.

I congratulate Boston Red Sox's fans all over. I just got off the phone with a friend who is in the New England area and the place is going absolutely crazy!

[vj9999]

I feel bad for Nomar :( He's a nice guy and definately deserved to be a part of this.

I do hope he stays a Cub next season.

He won't get a ring, but he'll he a more than fair share of the monetary playoff bonus...or so I've heard.

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

And from the Red Sox forum I found last week:

Just imagine.

In April...

We raise the flag in Fenway IN FRONT OF THE MFY!!!

I'll leave it to the reader to guess what MFY stands for... :D

[vj9999]

I figured out what FTM stands for so MFY was piece of cake to figure out :)

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

FTM? :confused:

[vj9999]

F
Tony
Massenburg

At least I hope that's what it stood for :)

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Oh, that TM... I'd already erased him from my memory banks...

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Yet another post from my wrestling board I found worth repeating:

Half of New England will call into work "Sox" tomorrow

"Yeah I can't come in to work today, the Sox won the World Series..."

Almost makes me wish I lived in New England... :D

Not that I get to call in sick in the military, anyway... :(

[KingKong]

wooooooo Red Sox, I lived in the New England area for 5 years and those fans are some of the most passionate fans I've seen especially after 86 years of losing seasons. Props to the team and their fans.

[Evenstar]

rest in peace babe.

what an amazing postseason by the red sox. 3 outs away from being swept by the MFY, with the iron man mariano rivera on the mound, and they WIN THE WHOLE effing THING!!!!! the curse is DEAD. and best of all, we beat them in their own house for the pennant, going through them to win the title. no excuses yankees, you got owned. and to think, the sox get to rub it in your faces on opening day at fenway this year.

this gives me hope for the giants and the kings.

everyday someone new stepping up. they 2 out scored them to DEATH. a new hero every night. if it wasn't bellhorn it was varitek, or nixon, or the caveman, of foulke out of the pen. schilling, pitching on one foot, pedro, with the question marks DOMINATES, lowe who was kicked out of the rotation, and he just was amazing in the postseason. won the clinching game of all 3 series. how cool is that!

what a pathetic series from the cards. from the baserunner gafs, to the bating practice starters, to the no show of the meat of the order. edmonds and rolen, 1-30. 1 for freaking 30. and that one hit was a BUNT hit.

CONGRATS RED SOX for making this member of RSN one happy evenstar :D i dug it, even thought it'll never be the same as the giants. sip it up RSN, can you beleive it, a worls series title in our lifetime!!!!

[Twix]

CONGRATS TO THE RED SOX!!!!! http://www.kingsfans.com/forums/images/smilies/cool.gif

[Since93]

One hour after the game I was at the street there are hude crowds going crazy chanting 'LET"S GO RED SOX!!!'. I can even hear people screaming inside their houses...

Man this is San Francisco! Everybody is a Red Sox fan, how cool is that!

[slugking50]

:Applauds:


That was great to see last night. Im man enough to say I was a teary slug. What a sight it was watching Boston and Boston fans at the game.

Too bad teddy ballgame wasnt there to see it.

[RageMe11]

congrats bean-town...you guys deserve this!!!

[BlingBling]

Alright Red Sox!!!

It's been 16 long years since my beloved Dodgers won a title, I can't even imagine going 89 years. :eek:

[hoopsfan]

"Everybody is a Red Sox fan, how cool is that!"

Not everybody.

[bdouble013]

You are either a Red Sox fan, a closet Red Sox fan, or a lower lifeform. You choose hoopsfan. ;)

[C Diddy]

Congratulations to the Red Sox. They absolutely dominated in every aspect after the first game. Pitching was nearly perfect, hitting was outstanding. They definitely deserved it and the way they dismantled the Yankees after being down 3-0 and 3 outs away from elimination makes it even a sweeter win for the Sox fans.
