Go Sox.... The best part is, is that one of my teachers, who is a die hard sox fan on Tuesday said they wouldn't win, and was joking with a kid who had a sox shirt on. I happened to have that teacher again today, and everyone in the class was ranking on him because he said it wasn't gonna happen. His reasoning behind the comment according to him "Reverse Psychology". It was a great day, especially because most of my friends are Yankees fans too.

Go Cards!!!!

I'm a freshman at Rice U.

Now its time to kill the Bosox.

1 Game down, 3 to go.

This game waws close for a while, I started to get a little scared with Martinez's errors.

GO SOX!

You will never understand how annoying sports fans are until you spend a weekend in Massachusetts (~1/2 hour from Boston) after the Red Sox beat the Yankees for an American League title.

Trust me..

It didn't help that the rental car had NY plates either.

:sigh:

We had a car from CT hold up a sign in their window at us that said BOO!
(Thinking it was just a random act of weirdness, we initially just let it go.)

It wasn't until we saw the huge Red Sox window cling on their back window, and we passed them again and a person in our car pointed out their Red Sox hat to the passengers of the other car that we figured out what was going on.

(Sorry.. Had to throw that in there)

And just for that, I'm rooting for the Cardinals.
(Like I care one way or the other.)

I wanted Houston to be in it just so it could be a Presidential Series.

Oh well...

2-0 baby... red sox on a tear... but honestly... i think St. Louis will take 2/3 at thier house (most likely games 4 & 5 when Lowe and Wakefield will pitch) but even then coming back to fenway with a 3-2 lead with Schilling picthing game 6, and Pedro game 7... if they lose this World Series... I quit life =P...

LETS GO RED SOX \m/

[Greg Perkins]

I think your wrong there bigguy,



If you remember correctly it was Lowe who picked up the slack on game 7 vs. the Yanks.

I think he is *one* of the best starters we have,
Schilling is the best we have, then Lowe, then Arroyo, then Pedro, then Wakefield.

I think we will have it 4, but i could always be wrong


I LOVE THOSE BO SOX

Noone knows if Schilling's ankle will be able to hold the stitches again. If it can't he won't be able to go.

I thought he had a brace on?

I heard many times that he was undergoing some rarely used procedure (used in children or something, I think?) to stitch up his ankle, which so far has been successful, but the tissue could become bruised or something, and not hold the stitches, causing him to not be able to play.

The team isn't particularly forthcoming with what the exact procedure entails. Here is my understanding gathered from Boston media outlets (which may not be 100% correct):

Curt's tendon is literally wripping away from the ankle bone. The problem is getting worse as the days go on. When the tendon moves it causes him great discomfort. He will need surgery on the ankle after the post season.

To keep him on the mound, team doctors have been using a medical technique where the tendon is actual sutured to the skin to keep it from moving. There is a very unusual technique for them which required them to practice on cadavers.There is a possibility that he may experience an infection or even a career halting injory if he continues to pitch. He has decided that pitching for Boston in the post season is more important than the rest of his baseball career.

They also use a pain killer injected into the ankle to deal with any excruciating pain. He doesn't like too much pain relief or he can't feel the ankle causing him to improperly push off the mound while throwing. Prior to his last start the doctors tried 4 sutures but decided to go with only 3 after Curt woke up in pain the next day. The blood you see oozing through his sock is caused by the sutured tendon pulling against the skin.

Hey, they did it.

Cool.
