All I can say, it's about time Sosa got his due.

So, I'm thinking the Sox won?

Good luck in the ALCS if so.

...but my poor poor Braves... *sob*

Yes! It came down to a very tense bottom of the 9th. I was standing in the middle of my (home) office unable to breathe.

I watched the weekend games of the Cubs/Braves series as well...they played some tough baseball.

 

[Crothian]

Wow, it so rarely comes down to the end like that. Well, except this year. Seems the games are a heck of a lot closer this year.

Red Sox fans are also some of the quickest to leave the game early when their team is down that I have ever seen in the Major League.

Sirius looks at watch. Wow! Only a few minutes have passed since the Red Sox/Yankees ALCS became official and the barbs start to fly. Go figure.

Yeah, I only caught the last couple of at bats, but it was pretty tense. Now I can hear people driving/walking around cheering and beeping outside. Go Sox!

Yeah, it is really sad. It's tough to be a Sox fan. We are hard, cynical people. But c'mon--it's only because the bars close at 2am, and the only thing we take more seriously than our baseball is our whisky.

Man, what I wouldn't give to be back in Boston right now. Yeah, Sox! I'm wicked thrilled for this ALCS. Sox-Yanks in October? I'll take it.

Who could hope for a better ending? Bottom of the ninth full count bases loaded and the A's down by a run, and Derek Lowe come up with the big K.

Every little leaguer has imagined himself in that position. I thought it was pretty awsome. I watced it at Uno's in Harvard sq. The place went wild.

Agreed! I was hoping for bonds and the giants just cause I think he's due, but the whole time I've wanted a Cubs and Boston series. Now I can root for that with nothing in the way. After that I want nothing but a nice and even 7 game slugging match. K for K and run for run.
