10.22.07 THE INDIANS CHOKED, BIG-TIME
As you can see from the photographic evidence presented here, Daisuke Matsuzaka pitched last night, earning the win in Boston's 11-2 Game 7 victory over the Indians in the ALCS.
Despite the score, most of the game was close and nail-biting or whatever. Indians starter Jake Westbrook was hit hard each of the first three innings but was bailed out by double plays before the Sox could put together a significant rally. The Indians climbed back into the game, almost tying it in the seventh before the Sox got their own rally-killing double play. In the bottom of the inning, Dustin Pedroia (3-for-5 with three runs and 5 RBI last night) launched a two-run homer that gave Boston some breathing room. Then Papelbon, six runs in the 8th, blah blah recap, champagne and celebrating. You know the drill.
The Red Sox seem to be getting a lot of credit for winning three straight games after being down 3-1 in the series (Just like 2004! Kind of!), but keep in mind that the Indians put together a pretty solid choke job to help them out. The Tribe got outscored 30-5 in Games 5, 6, and 7. That's pretty impressive. You just don't see an entire team mail in consecutive games like that too much these days.
So it'll be Rockies versus Red Sox starting Wednesday in Boston. (The Red Sox have home-field advantage, of course, thanks to Ichiro Suzuki's outstanding play in one game three and a half months ago.) Who to root for — the red-hot God-fearing underdogs, or the no-longer-cursed juggernaut with the charming fans? Answer: football!

THE INDIANS CHOKED, BIG-TIME
Thanks Matt, you just made the shit talking Sox fans bearable.
Batman likes big asian tits and the Rockies to kill the loser red sox. Manny is stupid
I would hate to be in Cleveland today because…well..I'd be in fucking Cleveland!
Sox in the Series. Pats are toying with teams. BC's ranked #2. Everyone's handing the East to the Celts. The Bruins have yet to be mathimatically eliminated.
I'm not sure who I should kill; Bill Simmons or myself.
seriously shoot me know. cheer up Indian fans at least you didn't lose a 3-0 series lead.
Yeah, but BC has to deal with the curse of "teams ranked anywhere in the top 25 during the 2007 college football season." Spoooooky!
You know, that Jayne Mansfield had some big breasts.
I need an update on Joe Torre's managerial status.
awww…the poor Red Sox haters are upset this morning. too bad.
Fucking mother fuckers!!!!!! Mother fuckers!!!!!!! No amount of scotch could be drunk to get rid of this head ache….NO AMOUNT!!!! Waking up to this shit sucked!!! Thank God for my Giants..
Go Rockies. I saw Matt Holliday walk on water the other day. True story.
The last century belonged to the Yankees… Meet the new boss
The 7000's will belong to the Royals. (Julio Franco will be their starting first baseman)
I work in a temporary office space with about 20 people. 5 of them are from Boston. This kicks ass right now. I wonder why Boston has so many fans in California? Oh right; because California makes Boston look like the shithole it really is. I don't blame them for leaving. I do, however, blame them for those stupid Sam Adams commercials where that guy wafts up the smell of the hops in his hands.
Red Sox over Rockies in 6. Why? Because God wants me to hate Simmons more than I already do.
Boston sports = Evil Spock
NY sports fans = James T. Kirk
Cleveland sports fans = Harry Mudd
Red Sox sucking my right nut in 7. Why? Because it sounded good in my head….
Titties in my face!
what is her name?
Joe Buck is an anal bead.
So I'm to take it that we're nearing the end of the Yoko pictures, as the season nears a close?
What
the hell will I whack off to for the next six monthsa significant disappointment.more disappointment for cleveland…. i cant be any happier right now. i hate that town more than i despise Liverpool
The only thing sweeter than another Red Sox World Series title would be the publication of Bill Simmon's "Now I Can Die In Peace, Part II"
Answer, football indeed. I've wanted to punch every guy with a Sox hat in the face today.
Go Rockies.
