I am scared of all those .300 hitters! OMG.

Would love to see more of this:

What do you do for the next 11 hours? You jerk off until you pass out of course.

I knew there had to be a name for it...

[EastCoasterOutWest]

You know why the Angels deserve to lose?

Because dressing up a monkey and making it dance is fucking lame.

Lester, win tonight so when I stroll into the stadium tomorrow I can see the Mike Scioscia face everywhere I look.

[SeanBerry]

People read the archived post season game threads from 2004 and 2007. If the Sox take another crown, they'll read these.

But you should go to chat.

People read the ALDS threads from 2007?

Really?

I don't know whether I simply don't believe you or find that to be the saddest fucking thing I've read all day.

[Vegas Sox Fan]

I want to see Tori Hunter cry.

Win.

I hate /love having tickets for game 4. I can't hope for a loss so if sox sweep it's okay cause I have tickets for game 3 of next round. Thanks Red Sox raffle. SO JUST WIN!

[YouDownWithOBP?]

I took off work from Wednesday through Tuesday so I will not miss a single pitch of any LDS game. Yesterday I popped in the 2004 DVDs Games 4 & 5 and watched all the good parts. I am about to do the same today for Games 6 & 7. I have also watched the highlight of Bay taking Lackey deep in game 1 last year about 100 times for some reason. Dancing monkeys do not scare me. Fuck the Angels.

[BellhornsBiatch]

Anyone out in LA going to the game know if you can still get tickets? - if not, what would a CA resident expect the scalper prices to be?

... for good measure.

Let's Go Red Sox!

[MikeGatorGreenwell]

Win tonight .. that's all it will take .. the Angels will be so mind-fucked they won't stand a chance .. looking forward to Scioscia face ..

[Jack Sox]

I would very much enjoy watching Torii Hunter poop his pants.

Let's do this.

Win it.

[CharlesFenway]

I will be at the Big AAAAAA this evening. Unfortunately the tickets I bought from Angels.com, tuned out to be in the 'Left field Family Pavilion'; so my chances of being escorted out have increased exponentially. The thought of no beer and hundreds of thunder stick and rally monkey-wielding pre-pubs makes me shudder...

Gotta love this tidbit from the LA Times this morning: "And still, the Angels "lost to a team that's not better than us," as pitcher John Lackey growled, because they failed to deliver enough in the clutch, messed up a few defensive plays, threw a few too many fat pitches, ran into outs on the basepaths and botched a crucial suicide squeeze."

In Jon Lester I trust. WIN.

Is it really that sad? Is it any different than saving the SI commemorative issue? Both recap the same thing, and the ALDS threads of '07 are certainly going to have more funny bits than a magazine while taking up zero space in ones home to collect dust.

[Bongorific]

He shall deliver.

[Rasputin]

But how do I kill the next 11 hours?

Masturbate furiously dumbass.

Pokey People indeed.

[educatedcheese]

I want to see John Lackey make that face he makes when everything starts to go wrong, and then whine through the postgame press conference. Big baby.

[BoSox Rule]

The greatest time of the year is finally here and we've been fortunate enough for the Red Sox to have a chance to win the World Series 6 out of the last 7 years while being successful twice. Celebrating the 5th year anniversary of the 2004 Red Sox on 10/27 would be excellent knowing the Sox were about to open another World Series at Fenway the next day.

But first

[Foulkey Reese]

Just gotta watch out for zombie Nick Adenhart.

[Al Zarilla]

Sox need to stop the home team wins streak happening so far in the post-season. A 9 - 3 drubbing a'la 2004 ALDS opener in Anaheim would be good. No injury to Sox SP wanted, however.

[loshjott]

For those of us who were around in 1967, this is the Red Sox' one-hundredth playoff game (including World Series) since Game 1 of the 1967 World Series.

Currently, we are 47-52, thanks mostly to the unacceptable sixteen game losing streak beginning with Game 6 of the 1986 World Series.

In this century, we are 22-16. Let's make it 33-16.

It was 13, ending in Game 1 of the 1998 ALDS.

Fuck the Angels.

I was at that game last year. The Angels fans were absolutely giddy until Bay's homerun. Everytime Bay came up, some schlub behind me would yell, "MMAAAAANNNNNNYYYYYY" incessantly throughout the entire at bat. As soon as the ball touched Bay's bat, I turned around, got in his face and yelled, "MMMAAANNNNNNYYYYYY." He was silent for the rest of the night. Even better, the Angels fans sitting around me looked suicidal after that.

I will be there tonight and am looking forward to "Sucidal Angel Fan" face.

[NoXInNixon]

Due to some fortunate luck, I got to attend regular season game #162 with my family on Sunday. Some friends got tickets a while back but then they bought a house and moved in last weekend, so they gave their tickets to us. Nice friends.

You know that moment when you first walk up the steps from the concourse to your seats? It's magical. The concourse at Fenway is one of the most ugly places I've ever been to. It's grimy, grungy and full of fat people waiting in line to buy crappy food and awful beer at outrageous prices. But then you walk up those steps, the green explodes into your field of vision, and it's like when Dorothy wakes up in Oz and everything's suddenly in color. The contrast turns the beautiful into the sublime.

We showed our tickets to the usher, and he told us that our seats were all the way on the other side of the section, and it would be easier to get there if we went up the next stairwell. So we descended back into the grey underworld, walked a little bit, and then got to experience the magical explosion of beauty a second time, and somehow defying all logic it was just as precious as it was one minute prior. The green, the smell of early October in the breeze, the hum of the expectant crowd, and the geometric beauty of the ballpark were no less wonderful for having just experienced them.

It's a lot like what it feels like to have the Red Sox's first round playoff opponent be the Angels again.

You can't masturbate at work? WTF do you do for a living?

Also, you can take camera phone pictures of office hotties, imagine licking grits off Heidi Watney's breasts, and carve your initials into the faux wood of your cubicle.

Per Stubhub there are tickets available. I wish I were there.

Can someone please remind me what the circumstances were around the above tantrum? For the life of me, I just can't put it together. But goddamn is that funny, even out of context.

I don't know whether I simply don't believe you or find that to be the saddest fucking thing I've read all day.

Believe it, and cheer up. The 2007 Sandbox playoff game threads were classics of spontaneous wit, fury, despair and elation, as well as premeditated mojo. They make for good reading years afterwards -- especially the Big Manny walkoff game (the last server mega-crash).

Because, after all, WE WON. Who doesn't love to relive victory with hundreds of like-minded souls in a virtual sports bar?

Does any one have a super-high-res image of this, or know where I can find one? I've always wanted to print and frame it, such a great shot.

As much as I'm looking forward to trouncing the Angels again, it just won't be quite as much fun without K-Rod blowing games.

I have tickets to Games 3 and 4 at Fenway. I would love to see a clincher. WIN TONIGHT!!

My office is in the shadow of Angel Stadium and I have the night shift this week. I can hear the crowd from our building. Please, don't let me hear the crowd tonight.

Win game one and it's over.

Go Sox. Go Dodgers. A Boston/ LA World Series would be sweet!

Don't you want to hear the chant "Let's Go Red Sox"?

[MainerInExile]

It is a shame that my daughter has not yet seen the Red Sox win the world series. She's only 3.5 months old, but still, let's change that.

I have tickets for Game 3 and Game 4 of the ALCS in Fenway.

I already booked my NON refundable hotel rooms for three nights in Boston at the over priced Sheraton on Dalton St.

I do not like spending money on nothing.

Don't even make this close.

Sweep these assclowns out of the playoffs.

Lester dominates tonight.

Fuck monkeys.
