Red Sox look like they could care less!

[docdekay]

I love em too. I dont understand how you CAN'T root for this team.

 

[Journeyman]

WOW! Goodnight all!

 

[PatrickMcIrish]

Just the emotion of having a wager on these guys wthout them being able to hit. I lay 170 about as often as I have a 3 way with my wife, it was irritating to see these guys choke on a dumb bet by me to begin with.

Never in a million years expected Lilly to pitch this well in Fenway.

 

[Journeyman]

All the momentum and pressure has switched now....Boston rolls tomorrow!

The reality is the A`s were robbed!

What is the pitching matchup, I haven`t looked is Pedro going in 4 or 5? Either way Boston bats wake up tomorrow, I have seen this movie before lol...

 

[jimbutorac]

Pedro goes in Game 5 if they get there, which I believe they will. I think Burkett goes tomorrow.

A's were robbed as much as it pains me to say it.

 

[PatrickMcIrish]

Jman - it's showing Hudson/Burkett for tomorrow. I haven't even looked into it but tough match-up for the Red Sox in the circle, got to give the clear edge to the A's. If Sox do win they then get Pedro for game five.

Early lean on the A's here but if I don't bet the game I am pulling for the Red Sox all the way.

Hudson Vs, Burkett. Burkett -125 at Oly. 9 over -130.

wil.

Patrick,

I'm telling you throw logic out the window and follow BoSox history. Reason they won't lose tomorrow is cause they cannot clinch the series. they will lose once they are in a game with a lead and with a chance to clinch. that;s the way it always works.

 

[PatrickMcIrish]

Boston is -125 at the Greek's place. I don't know, I just can't see that price on the Sox. Hudson can be nasty at times. If not nasty he's always tough at least. Burkett does not have the stuff this guy has, they will really have to outhit them tomorrow. No shot of Burkett pitching like Lowe did tonight. They will get run out of the park if the bats don't show up.

You're probably right sir, LOL.

I will say right now though I am betting the A's or staying off. Just can't see Burkett coming up big tomorrow and/or being a favorite here. Interesting to say the least but I think the line is shaded the wrong way.

Oakland -120
Boston +100

Maybe they feel the Boston bats are "due", LOL.

 

[Journeyman]

Well I see its Burkett, that does make it tougher...I wasn`t sure what Little had in mind...he had Pedro up to close? But didn`t bother going to him to keep the game going?

I just didn`t wanna see "Gas Can Kim" under no circumstances tonight!

Pressure is on the A`s now....

 

[Fishhead]

Emotionally drained on this end.

 

[jimbutorac]

Strut,

You re-educated me from another thread. Sox will win tomorrow cause there is no chance of them clinching.

Game 5 coud be the ball breaker.

 

[PatrickMcIrish]

Congrats Strut, I know you love your boys. Sorry but I had to vent earlier, glad they won for us.

 

[Fishhead]

The Red Sox are capable of coming up big in ANY game......unless the World Championship is on the line. They have proven many times over they are capable of winning memorable games......but winning it all????......no chance, they will find a way to miff it.

 

[Fishhead]

McIrich- No problem, they deserved it. Sorry about the Iowa game. I will never bet on or against this team again.

Set out on the day to watch the following games.....

Michigan-Iowa
Louisville-USF
Oalkland-Boston

.......ended up with three instant classics in the memory bank.
