2004 World Series

Nice going Pedro. 3-0 up. Hope Lowe closes the deal tomorrow.

Me, too, although I still don't think it's likely. Nice play by Ortiz there in the first to double up Suppan at third. My heart skipped a beat for a moment, but he acquitted himself nicely.

You don't? I actually would be surprised if the Sox don't sweep. They are making the Cards look bad, or at least like the over-rated team that they are. Except for game 1, the Sox have completely shut them down. I except Lowe to be fired up for tonight, as well as the rest of the Sox. No way they let the Cards get back into the series. Not this team.

SWEEP!!!!

I don't think the Cards are overrated. They're a better offensive team than they've shown, although their hitters are in a terrible slump, they're an excellent defensive team, and they've got nothing to lose. A lot of it depends on if any of their starting pitching decides to show up (on that level, I'll agree that they're overrated). Look, it's possible that the Sox'll sweep, and I'd love for it to happen, but I'm a little bit wary of believing they'll actually do it. I'm sure Lowe is fired up for tonight, but everytime I think of a team getting fired up, I think of Pete Carroll and the Pats back in '00 when he said his guys were "pumped and jacked," and it makes me scared.

GO SOX

I agree with KL, the Cards aren't overrated. You don't have the best record in the majors with an overrated team. The Bosox are just shutting them down. Kinda nice to finally see them win, actually. I hope they pull it off.

If the Sox win tonight, I have no idea what's going to happen to me. I've been completely unable to sleep well, my brain is at about 50% functional, and I'm as jittery as a coked up squirrel. This still feels like a dream.

I suspect that, after we burn Boston to the ground, we'll all move 10 miles to the west and start a new city called "Floston" with a new, cursed baseball team called the "Gred Sox". This town is ready to go insane.

If Charles Nelson Reilly appears over the city and vomits a plague of locusts to herald in the end times, I would not be surprised. I'm ready for anything!

You could just move to Chicago...

3-0 Red Sox in the bottom of 3rd.
