WIN

Fred Willard introduces the Sox...great.

[LiveAndDieWithTheSox]

Fred Willard!

[jeblucas]

Francona OK'd it. I love this guy.

[gtg807y]

A hot chick at work was flirting with me telling me I look like Josh Beckett. That's worth something I am unoriginal and unfunny. Please put me out of my misery-wise, right?

Damn straight man, and put up a Beckett-like dominating performance.

[luqin]

Fox is completely shameless having this guy read the lineup.

[trotsplits]

fred williard. I like your work. but why are you announcing our lineup?

[opes]

who the fuck is fred willard??!

[redsoxfan1776]

Red Sox 2007 hitting splits:

Against Power pitchers: .246/.351/.398
Against Neutral pitchers: .280/.352/.444
Against Finesse pitchers: .304/.377/.478

Aaron Cook is a finesse pitcher. This could be a fun night.

IIRC, we've been averaging .352 against Rockies pitchers...We may have a drop in offense!

What's up with Fred Willard? I'm confused.

It was nice of Tito to let Fred Willard set our lineup.

[Stealth Beagle]

I wish Fred Willard was also calling this game instead of McCarver. He could just play his announcer character from "Best in Show" and it would be a huge improvement.

"David Ortiz went after that pitch like it was made out of ham!"

[sonofVincentBrown]

win it for Fred Willard

Let's review: A hot chick was flirting with you and you're free to watch the game tonight.

Sad, very sad.


Fred Willard--now that's my idea of a lineup guy.

[njingles3]

Fred Willard is hilarious.

Best lineup announcer by far.

[njingles3]

If only.

[Andrew]

And Andrew- did you flirt back? Any chance for in-pants?

Sadly, I'm taken. Though I do prefer mine, so it's all good.

Were you dropping F bombs all over the place?

Yeah, man, that's how I roll. They don't fucking pay me enough to watch my language.

[gtg807y]

This is exactly the type of commercial break we could do without.

[martybarrettoverdrive]

who the fuck is fred willard??!

Jesus. How old are the people on here?

[P'tucket, rhymes with...]

who the fuck is fred willard??!

Oh, child...

[iowacityiconoclast]

who the fuck is fred willard??!

I think he's the front-runner for the Yankees manager job.

[Aldogg]

who the fuck is fred willard??!

You read my mind.

And yeah, this commercial is worthless, let's get the game on.

Seconded!

Willard: Look at the buttocks on that Ellsbury--those are "chisled", right? "Marbled?" What are the kids saying these days? Say that reminds me...

[prezzpac]

I think he's the front-runner for the Yankees manager job.

Now those would be some great press conferences...

[DeronJohnson'sTriple]

I think he's the front-runner for the Yankees manager job.

Shit, that struck me as very fucking funny.

[patinorange]

I put an addition on my house since the Fox pregame started.

I think I will re wire the whole place before the first pitch.


May those towels be left all over the aisles and seats as the fans file out in the 7th inning.

It really is incredible that this could be the last game of the season.

I keep thinking about sitting in a hotel room last August watching Wells pitching a tight game in Fenway, we lose, Yanks sweep, season over.

This is much better.

Sweep please, for Francona's legacy.

[luqin]

National anthem was 16 minutes ago.

[prezzpac]

Wow. Great Keys to the Game.

Red Sox: Win

Rockies: Win

[P'tucket, rhymes with...]

Seconded!

[redsoxfan1776]

Finally, it's on!

[BigPapiLumber Co.]

Before one of our elimination games against Cleveland, I asked the Sox to extend the season because I quit smoking when the Sox' season ends. I'm now ready. Do not extend the season. Just win!

[gtg807y]

And here we go.

Edit: AND HERE WE GO!!!!!

[martybarrettoverdrive]

Wow. A retarded monkey could write McCarver's keys to the game.

[trotsplits]

Oh, child...

Fred Williard was pretty fucking funny as far back as Spinal Tap. That was 1983. We're getting old.

[urayoan]

Jacoby Ellsbury!!!

[redsoxfan1776]

Jacoby Ellsbury! Great start!

[luqin]

Fantastic way to start the night from Ellsbury

[P'tucket, rhymes with...]

Game on. Nice, Jacoby Ellsbury.

[LiveAndDieWithTheSox]

That's the way to start!

[DeronJohnson'sTriple]

You can't even hope to contain Ellsbury.

[gtg807y]

WS MVP

[Aldogg]

Jacoby=World Series MVP?

Nice way to lead off the game, kill this bum.

[Barbara]

And the legend continues!!

[NomoMrNiceGuy]

yes. let's get this one tonight boys.

I'm carving pumpkings, firing down beers, pumping fists in the air.

[opes]

if you dont love Jacoby Ellsbury yet, you will soon.

[BigPapiLumber Co.]

ILJE!

[El Guapo9]

Jacoby, nice.

That's how Cook will look tonight, McCarver!

[CapeCodsBabyBull]

yup mvp

[Sprowl]

First post ever, on the night the Sox are going to with the World Series. Hello SOSH!

Lester is twirling a gem tonight.

Hello HughesMiester, and welcome!

Red Sox 2007 hitting splits:

Against Power pitchers: .246/.351/.398
Against Neutral pitchers: .280/.352/.444
Against Finesse pitchers: .304/.377/.478

Aaron Cook is a finesse pitcher. This could be a fun night.

This is interesting and unexpected, mostly because recent memory tells us that the Sox did their best against power pitchers Sabathia, Carmona and Jimenez, while finesse pitchers Westbrook and Byrd gave us fits (the first time around, hehehe).

Sunrise over the Ortiz mountains, on this day of days.

I was thinking last night about how incredible it will be for Lester to be the one to end it. It's hard to not get extremely emotional when you really think about what that means.

Awesome sight, ditto the sentiment.

Way to go Jacoby Ellsbury!

[P'tucket, rhymes with...]

Shorter Pedroia: Bunting is for wusses, man.
