2-0!

Sheeef-field! Sheeef-field!

YOU SUCK!

DAMON!!!!!!!!!

GRAND SLAM!!!!!!!!!!!

up 6 and i'm still terrified.

That's because you're smart!

i was hoping for something a little more comforting!

OMFG!!!!

Damon goes deep again! At first I thought it was a replay!

wow. i don't want to jinx anything. but it's sweet to see the look on the faces of the yankee players.

i really wish they'd break this open so i can relax

Normally a seven run lead IS breaking it open but I know what you mean.

Uhhhhhhhhhhh........

8 to 3.

This is killing me.

bellhorn's homer was huge.

Nixon's due for a hit.

I'm still in shock about Pedro coming in. What was that about? Not a smart move.

how right you are!

Nixon gets a hit! We need more runs!

Sweet - two on, no one out.

Way to go, Mueller. Time for a hit, Orlando.

Nice sac fly, Orlando. Every little bit helps.

yes. this is really, really good.

Looking good, boys. Knock on wood.

Johnny Damon needs another HR right about now.

OK. Three outs. Three outs.

I can't breathe easy until this thing is in the books. That's what 34 years of rooting for the Sox will do to you.

Fuck. I'll trade runs for outs, but getting an out first would be nice.

C'MON TIMLIN, GOD DAMN IT!

Pokey time!

Two more outs!!!

Two down!!!!

ONE MORE, BABY! ONE MORE!

Throw a friggin' strike, Timlin!

come on...

GOD DAMN IT, TIMLIN!

This is agonizing. Nothin's easy with this team.

Karen's dancing around like they've won and I keep yelling at her "STOP IT! STOP IT! YOU CAN'T DO THAT! THIS IS THE RED SOX! THEY HAVEN'T WON YET!"

Thank you, John. No disrespect to Karen, but you're entirely correct. This ain't the Orioles.

YES!!!!!!!

hahahahahahahahahahahaha
thanks john

OK, now is the time on Sprockets when we dance!

Woooooooooooo!

Fan-fucking-tastic!

Hey, even Butler's in on it!

Boo-hoo, Billy Crystal!

I feel like I'll be up for the next three days.

If this can happen, anything can happen.

horns honking outside. choppers flying all over. amazing. see ya saturday!!

Karen put your cloths back on. The game isn't over yet.

Congrat, Ambrose! Enjoy it for us!

Maybe I'll go outside and throw a trash can through a car window.

What is the deal with Marv Albert's brother? Is he not the stiffest interviewer you've ever seen?

OK. Now you can take your cloths off. (I don't have cable.. so I'm getting the news online)

Revenge is a dish best served cold.

Not sure what it means, but I like the way it sounds.

Can I take my clothes off now?

You know who I pity the most? The poor Boston fans who went to the 19 to 8 drubbing on Saturday.

I'm thinking of naming my first child Damon Ortiz.

Wow. Just wow.

First, I am *not* a sports fan. I grew up without sports for the majority of my life. Therefore, I have no allegiance to any team.

Despite living in NYC for five years, I am not a Yankees fan. Nor am I a Red Sox fan.

With that said, let me say this to all those Yankees fans with which I must co-exist tomorrow: Boo-yah! You're all so used to winning, you've forgotten what it's like to lose! I'm *glad* to see the Yankees (and their insufferable fans) get spanked. And by their arch-rival in Yankee Stadium to boot. Ha ha ha ha ha!

Why do I dislike Yankees fans? I think it's summed up in two incidents, each from the last several games: when A-Rod swapped the ball running to first and then the refs made the absolutely right call and reversed the run, etc. you threw shit on the field. And tonight, some fuckwit threw Damon's foul ball back onto the field almost hitting him? You've just reinforced everything I hate about Yankees fans. You deserve to lose. Insert raspberry.

Of course I know that the vast majority of Yankees fans aren't like this, but it's really hard to see that when surrounded by ya'll every day for the last 5 years. Eat your humble pie and get off your high horse. Your beloved overpaid ultrawealthy team lost. In my best Nelson laugh: ha ha!

Well said, Damien.

Yes, they were beaten by Boston's overpaid ultrawealthy team.

Boston vs Houston? I hope not. I don't want the World Series to be a set up for the election. But you know editorial writers and reporters everywhere are working on their stories about this. My head hurts already.

lane, overpaid and ultrawealthy compared to most of us, yes. But less overpaid and ultrawealthy than the Yankees, and a lot less smug. The supposedly mighty fell last night. For Red Sox Nation, last night was an amazing night. It can't be diminished. The little kid in me, which I hope I never lose (and at this rate, I won't), is overjoyed.

Yes - most of them are overpaid, and I sometimes wonder why I continue to watch this monopolistic game, but it's a series like this that makes it so amazing. After seeing the Mariners go down to the Yankers in too many post seasons and dealing with their obnoxious fans who come to Safeco, it's sweet to see them lose in any way, but to blow a 3 game lead? Priceless.

And then, of course, there's A-Rod. I used to be one of the people who cheered him even after he became a Ranger. But I don't cheer any Yankee. I do enjoy seeing a spoiled prima donna - perhaps THE spoiled prima donna - denied a World Series ring to go along with his bazillion dollar contract.

Maybe we've seen the beginning of "The Curse of A-Rod." One can only hope.

The definitely has bad karma.

Plus he's a cheater. Fortunately the umpires didn't let him get away with it.

When they were showing him standing at the dugout railing with Jeter, Karen and I were saying "Jeter... and cheater! Jeter... and cheater!"
