G&T Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 QUOTE (PlunketChris @ Sep 30, 2008 -> 09:39 PM) Javy in game one. f***. I just talked to my friend and he mentioned that. I told that's not possible, MB would go for sure. Javy sucks, but I guess he's the guy that's ready. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've written this team off soooo many times, and for them to come back is just awesome. Good luck in Tampa!!!! I hope you learned your lesson young man. It's not over till it's over !

Princess Dye Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 QUOTE (bmags @ Sep 30, 2008 -> 09:40 PM) Dealing with the most ridiculous sox fans in games threads that just talked the s word about the sox the entire damn time. And I have to say it is probably sweeter for the former. I know some people deal with some things differently but my God, it was awful. There's something about this year that seems to make everyone less rational than ever. Hawk is the test case. I swear he has been losing his mind more than i can recall in recent years. Just something really infuriating about this team but a night like this is probably sweeter because of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaliSoxFanViaSWside Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 QUOTE (bmags @ Sep 30, 2008 -> 06:40 PM) You know, I hate to put a damper on this, but there were two aspects to the last two weeks: dealing with some awesome sox fans who kept my hopes up and weren't actively rooting against them and two Dealing with the most ridiculous sox fans in games threads that just talked the s word about the sox the entire damn time. And I have to say it is probably sweeter for the former. I know some people deal with some things differently but my God, it was awful. It is pretty bad and it used to keep me out of game threads , but I learned to adjust. I know they all care very very much and most are very young and haven't learned when to ease up. It's just crimes of passion but they are very passionate Sox fans for sure and for that I love them man ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaTank Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 F**K YES!!!!!!! JOHNNY DANKS, YES!!!!!! JIM THOME, YES!!!!!!! GEORGE KENNETH GRIFFEY JR., YES!!!!! BRIAN ANDERSON, YES!!!!! BOBBY JENKS, YES!!!!! Now let's go to Tampa and show everybody that we deserve to be here! Already being counted out of that series. Our starters have been f***ing SOLID the last few games. Only one thing, the Rays have basically nobody with playoff experience (I can only think of Tory Percival and possibly Eric Hinske). Who's gonna start in the Rays series for us? Is Javy going to be knocked out of the rotation for this series? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Tizzle Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 I had it wrong all along. After the Twins series I thought we were the chokers, when really, they existed the series with .5 a game lead against us and were facing the Royals. It almost feels more fulfilling with this division championship because of what we went through, and the fact it was played at home and many fans will have good memories of tonight.

Yoda Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 Very intense game. It wasn't what people thought it was going to be, a pitching duel that would decide the game with the mistake being done by one of starter's. All I can say is that this is very nice after getting swept in that dreaded Humphrey Dome. They (Twins) are a completely different team when they are on the road. It's as if they are clueless when they are not playing on turf. It's sweet to see the champagne going all over the place. Geez . . . what a feeling.

I don't go into chat very often but Fathom invited people after the Twinkies swept us. I remember saying every time the Twins got a hold of 1st place they gave it right back . I think you were there . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember saying every time the Twins got a hold of 1st place they gave it right back . I think you were there . I actually thought of that...it was as if they loved playing as the underdog but couldn't stand being the team expected to win. Too many young guys and they just went into defense mode. The only time they ever played very well was when they were behind the Sox. Both teams had the ability to put the other away several times, and neither did until tonight. Let's get Thome and Griff the rings both deserve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxFan562004 Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 Awesome win, awesome job by Danks, that was unreal! What an up and down year! Have they given an estimated distance on Thome's homer yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigSqwert Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 Wow!!! Just got home. What an amazing game. Best one I've been to since game 4 in Houston. Danks, AJ, Griff, and Thome coming through!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cali Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 Brian Anderson. f***. What a catch. Danks was just dealing, goddamn... On a total side note, I REALLY enjoyed Dick Stockton doing PBP for baseball.

LosMediasBlancas Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 Not just because we won, but that was a great, great baseball game. Guys on both sides went at it 110% and almost flawlessly. One mistake, one bomb, ballgame. Random thoughts: Perhaps he was stunned from the collision, but AJ showing Cuddyer the ball instead of the ump was bad ass and hilarious. How far did Jimmy's bomb travel? Almost made the fan deck, or no? Part of it might have been the 'black out', but why do the stands at the Cell look so dark on TV? It doesn't happen on Comcast or WGN, or even WCIU, but on the national networks they always do. Bring on Tampa, I like our head to head stats. I still don't believe in them, they're gonna have to show me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elrockinMT Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 I saw the game on TBS-HD. Now that was a playoff game! What an experience and what a run by the Sox. three games, 3 wins against 3 different teams at the end of the season to win this Division. That is a major league record and never done before.
