Fuck 1978, Fuck the MFY, Fuck all the assholes who think we have lost the division when we are still pretty high favorites to win it.

We win with Beckett on the mound. We win and the MFY can do nothing to catch us, they can't do a damn thing about it. So we are fucking winning. We wrap up the AL East title next week. It starts with this game.

I now want to run through those dipshits from NY on the way to the World Series in playoffs.

If my sig line is too long, tough. DCHONG is our leader and we are but followers as he makes us take that first step to the Promised Land. Years from now, we will reference this thread as the turning point. Our children will ask us around the campfire if we remember where we were when DCHONG started this thread. The night will grow quiet as the forest wildlife and even the wind will go silent in hushed reverance. When we do speak, our answers will be collectively, "We were there!"

I love the alliteration. DCH has a way with words. Any relation to Cheech?

[Rooster Crows]

Two weeks ago, the Yankees’ chances of extending their season into October were slim. Today they are a lock to be at least the wild-card winner and are in position to claim their 10th straight AL East title by inching past a Red Sox team with a big apple stuck in their windpipe.

Someone in that wiki fucked up. It says in the 1st consequence of not following the rules that Curt Schilling "jumped in" to start the '04 ALCS game 1 thread, as though he was interfering with someone else's winning streak.

He started ALDS game 1 that year and continued until he lost ALCS game 1.

My love for DCHONG is well established.

Today I add my salute to jose melendez for an awesome post.

This is baseball. It is a long road. We will have a good journey.

Edit: I affirm a key word in DCHONG's message: UNCONDITIONAL.

[educatedcheese]

I know he is hurt but serious question:

Does Youkilis play on Yom Kippur?

FWIW... In 2006, Yom Kippur fell on Oct 1. The day of Devern Hansack's rainy no-hitter. Tito started the junior high JV squad, so there was no Youks (though honestly I don't remember if he was even standing upright that day; that whole crash landing is still a blur). However, the chosen people were represented by Gabe Kapler that day (1-3, 3 RBI).

Anyhoo.

ON! is the WIN.

[86spike]

anybody got a lineup yet?

[SpinnersRock]

the game friggin Please win. I a need sleep good night's seeks . et cetera Lets Beckett! go.

He jumped in by starting the thread before midnight, IIRC.

[nsalon]

Does Youkilis play on Yom Kippur?

I'm pretty sure he does. He played on Rosh Hashanah and a few years ago, the Rabbi was complaining that he, Kapler, and Theo set a bad example by playing on the High Holidays.

[AusTexSoxFan]

Rabbi needs to STFU.

Winning is more important... and this is coming from a Catholic for Chrissakes.

[trekfan55]

Don;t really want to start a whole religious debate. I know Shawn Green refused to play on Yom Kippur in the middle of a penant race. And I know Sandy Koufax refused to pitch on Yom Kippur (I believe it was the World Series even). I was just curious about wether he plays or doesn't.

Anyway, I am off the computer, news, TV, etc. for Yom Kippur. I may hear some news by word of mouth but otherwise nothing until late Saturday, so please win 2.

And for all of you I requote a very good joke posted in 2004:

Jewish guy walks up to his Rabbi and says, "Rabbi, I have a problem, this year on Yom Kippur, Pedro pitches against the Yankees right on Kal Nidre". The Rabbi says: "Son, that is why G-d invented the VCR". Man responds: "Really? You mean I can tape Kal Nidre??"

[InsideTheParker]

I could've sworn Youks said at one point that he doesn't feel right playing on Yom Kippur.

This page link says Youks did not play, but I realize that doesn't settle the question of whether or not he chose not to play or just wasn't put on the roster.

In Boston , the local papers focused on Gabe Kapler and Kevin Youkilis. Gabe Kapler decided to play, justifying his decision by proclaiming that all of the other days of the year he was not an observant Jew, why should he behave differently on this day? And Kevin Youkilis told the press to respect his desire for privacy and that the Red Sox organization was in agreement with his preferences for his personal observance of the holiday. While Gabe Kapler did appear in a game on Yom Kippur, Kevin Youkilis did not play.

[Foulkey Reese]

That line up is absolutely nauseating


Not that Tito had any better options...but Hinske against Kazmir should be fun

The Manny whispers are just going to keep getting louder and louder....

Edited by Foulkey Reese, 21 September 2007 - 03:06 PM.

[86spike]

I hope Hinske has been told not to take the bat off his shoulder.

Kazmir is on a 100 pitch limit... so if Hinske gets a ball and three strikes... he helps push Kasmir 4% of the way to the showers.

[V.I. Tessie]

I just want the team to win. If Dchong is the one to lead us all to the promised, then so be it. I surrender myself to the legend that is Dchong.

So what should we expect out of Kazmir tonight?

10-12 K's in 7 scoreless innings?

Just hope Beckett can match him

[CarboCopy]

Some men look at things as they are and say "Why?" Other men dream of things that never were and say "Why not?" DCHONG sees things that will be and says, "baby baseball attand yeah, fuck."

I think this offense is do for a break out night. I think we will score some runs off Kaz.

Absolutely.

And nothing screams "break out night" more than "Bobby Kielty, batting fifth."

[trekfan55]

That's better than having Kapler hit cleanup, and only have Javier Lopez off the bench I guess.

You're forgetting about the part where, immediately after the game, the Rays announce that they're shutting Kazmir down (or pushing his next start back a day) so he'll miss the Yankees series. I'm more confident that he won't face the Yankees on Thursday than I am that he'll be dominant tonight.

[86spike]

Absolutely.

Bobby Kielty's career line vs. Scott Kazmir:

Oh I've been assuming that all week...I'd probably put money on it at this point.

Kielty batting 5th in an important game down the stretch?

That's just beyond brutal

[The_Powa_of_Seiji_Ozawa]

this is what happened the last time Bobby Kielty was asked to bat 5th.

[86spike]

did you see Kielty's career line (in 20 PA's) against Kaz?

This year, it's .167/.167/.167

(Seriously, nobody is blaming Tito for starting Kielty. He has no choice, Kielty hits lefties, etc. Just having some pre-game fun.)

[Maalox]

I could've sworn Youks said at one point that he doesn't feel right playing on Yom Kippur.

Then I think he should not play and that should be the end of it. Some things are more important than baseball.

[yecul]

I expect Boston to explode for 6+ or get another 0-2 run game. Pretty much everything will hinge on getting Kazmir out of there quickly.
