Wohoo!!!! - A Black Falcon - 5th October 2003 They are competent some of the time... its just not enough. They don't blow up every game... but they will with unpleasant regularity. :( Oh, and Cubs-Red Sox would be strange... I don't know what I'd do if we actually won... its kind of hard to imagine... Wohoo!!!! - Laser Link - 6th October 2003 THe A's got robbed in Game 3 with those interference calls, and the Bronocs lost because of 2 clips the refs missed on Dante Hall's 97 yard punt return. And that was right after Deltha Oneal returned a punt for a Bronco touchdown- but it was called back for holding. And these weren't clips 20 yards away from the play- they both were right at the goal line and enable Hall to reverse direction and go back up the left sideline. Thus ends my weekly ref/ump rant. I know it can't change anything and it's just part of the game, but it makes me feel better. And the Chargers are now the only 0-5 team in the NFL!!! Wohoo!!!! - Laser Link - 6th October 2003 Wow, and there were some horrible calls in the MNF game tonight as well. First a phantom "Running into the punter" that gave Tampa another chance in OT, and then a leaping penalty that gave the Colts a second chance aafter Vandejagt missed the game winning kick. And he almost missed on the second try, but it went in off the post. I've seen them call a guy for pushing off his teamates or jumping over the line on a field goal, but the Buc player went straight up and down. It's too bad such an amazing game had to be won and lost by the zebras. And the BoSox won. One step closer to that fabled Cubs-Red Sox series. That would be amazing, but also horrible. One of the teams would have to lose, and the rest of us would NEVER hear the end of the whining. ;) Wohoo!!!! - The Former DMiller - 6th October 2003 The Colts were pretty lucky with that final field goal as well. If you looked closely a Buc tipped the ball back towards the goal post. If the ball wasn't touched it would have been way right. There were some horrible calls in that game, but still the Bucs have too good a defense to let that kind of comeback happen. I was shocked. Anyway, the Cubs/Red Sox series would mean the end of human existence. Armageddon isn't far now my friends so you'd better go to confession. Wohoo!!!! - alien space marine - 7th October 2003 Red soxs rule! Whoops wrong thread! Wohoo!!!! - A Black Falcon - 7th October 2003 YES!!! I watched the game yesterday on Fox... must they keep doing this to us? One more game like that and everyone in New England will be nervous wrecks... four of the five games in this series have had dramatic stuff happening in the last inning! Four close games, two of them extra innings... I'm thrilled that we won, but they've got to stop doing this! Its really bad on the health... :) Oh yeah, and the A's weren't robbed by those calls that let the Sox win that extra-innings 3-1 victory. The A's were just really stupid... four errors? Two major baserunning mistakes? :) Wohoo!!!! - Laser Link - 7th October 2003 I called the Sosa shot, but I was hoping the guy before him would get on base too so they would win and not just tie it up. See what happens when you go to extras? :( Wohoo!!!! - A Black Falcon - 7th October 2003 Stupid Marlins... But since it wasn't the Red Sox I wasn't in the same state as last night... or that whole stupid series... :) Wohoo!!!! - The Former DMiller - 8th October 2003 I'm not too worried for two reasons: Prior and Wood. They will be pitching 4 games in this series. :D Wohoo!!!! - A Black Falcon - 8th October 2003 True, that should give the Cubs a good chance. Still, blowing game 1 at home is never good... Wohoo!!!! - The Former DMiller - 8th October 2003 Cubs and Red Sox win! Not surprisingly Mark Prior dominated the Marlins. Surprinsingly the Cubs had another big offensive game. Sammy Sosa hit one of the longest homeruns I've seen hit at Wrigley. I had never seen a ball hit over the camera well in center field before. Anyway, Kerry Wood is up for Game 3 on Friday. Go Cubs and go Sox! Wohoo!!!! - Fittisize - 8th October 2003 I can't believe the Cubs. Yesterday they hit their most important homerun in franchise HISTORY and they still manage to lose the game. And today they stomp all over the Marlins by 9 runs. Yeesh. It's gonna be an interesting finish. Wohoo!!!! - A Black Falcon - 8th October 2003 Darn Red Sox! They're making me believe again... Wohoo!!!! - Laser Link - 8th October 2003 Hooray for knuckleballers! I've always had an obsession with knuckeballs, and I can throw a decent one myself. Well decent might be too much. It doesn't spin, which is good, but it doesn't move at all. It just sorta floats there screaming "HIT ME!" Wohoo!!!! - The Former DMiller - 9th October 2003 Yeah, that knuckleball you have sounds more like a homerun ball, LL. :) Wohoo!!!! - A Black Falcon - 9th October 2003 Yes, his knuckleball was working great tonight... sometimes it doesn't and he gets hit hard, but usually its good. Yesterday it was. :) Wohoo!!!! - The Former DMiller - 10th October 2003 Cubs win! Cubs win! Tonight's game was incredible. Even better than Game 1 because this time the Cubs won. Doug Glanville drove in the game-winning run with a triple in the 11th, but he wouldn't have had the chance if Randall Simon hadn't given the Cubs the lead in the 8th. There were so many tough spots in this game that the Cubs squeaked out of, and it ended on a weird play with Luis Castillo getting caught in a rundown. Whew! What a game! Wohoo!!!! - A Black Falcon - 11th October 2003 I watched part of the game and yeah... another great game. Close, exciting, extra innings... this really has been an amazing postseason... Wohoo!!!! - The Former DMiller - 11th October 2003 Cubs win again in a game that was much more relaxing after yesterday's nail-biter. If the Cubs win tomorrow they'll clinch, but I'm not banking on that especially considering how Carlos Zambrano has pitched recently. If they don't win tomorrow, though, Prior should wrap things up on Tuesday. Anyway, I also watched most of the Sox/Yankees game before and that was getting pretty ugly. I kind of felt sorry for Zimmer when Pedro slammed him to the ground, but he was kind of asking for it running at Pedro like that. I'm still wondering what happened with that situation in the Yankee's pen. Last I heard it was a Sox groundskeeper who instigated the Yankee players. Too bad the Sox lost, but it was an interesting game. Wohoo!!!! - A Black Falcon - 11th October 2003 Zimmer had yelled at Pedro before because of what Pedro did, then in the brawl went straight to him and threw a punch. He deserved it. And I bet the Yankees win... :( Though, the Cubs look like they well might make it in. 3-1 is a pretty solid lead... amazing... Wohoo!!!! - A Black Falcon - 13th October 2003 http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/playoffs2003/columns/story?columnist=caple_jim&id=1636859 :D And even better... http://espn.go.com/page2/s/murphy/031013.html Stupid lying Yankee bullpen pitchers might get arrested... :) http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/playoffs2003/news/story?id=1636928 Quite a game, game 3... Wohoo!!!! - Laser Link - 13th October 2003 Yeah, that opening line by Jim Caple is great! He's very funny. I didn't see any of the game cause I was out of town this weekend, but it sounds like it was quite entertaining. The good news is that Tim Wakefield was the man again and it's all tied up! Knuckleballers rule!!! Wohoo!!!! - The Former DMiller - 13th October 2003 Time Wakefield is really getting it done for the Sox. I got a little worried when Rivera hit that homerun in the 9th, but luckily it didn't lead to a run by the Yankees. I would be sorely disappointed if this series went any less than 7 games because we've seen some great games so far. Wohoo!!!! - A Black Falcon - 14th October 2003 Wakefield has pitched great in the ALCS. He's usually either good or bad -- not much in between. He's a knuckleball pitcher, so when its not on he doesn't do well... we've been lucky that he's been on for both games in the ALCS. :) He's been with the Sox for a long time (longest on the team... '95 I think?) and has never been better. :) Wohoo!!!! - The Former DMiller - 14th October 2003 Anyone who watched the Cubs game tonight has now seen the Cubs Curse in full affect. The Cubs don't just lose, they lose in the most dramatic, fall-apart-at-the-seams way possible. I can't really blame that fan who tried to catch the foul ball. He was just a tool of the evil billy goat that has haunted Wrigley Field since 1945. I am very worried about tomorrow's game. Kerry Wood has been clutch lately, but Mark Prior had been too until tonight's debacle. In other news, the Yankees won again. Wohoo!!!! - Laser Link - 14th October 2003 No no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no Wohoo!!!! - Fittisize - 14th October 2003 The Yankees won today 'cause they are the best team in Major League Baseball. Not that I like it, but that's just the way it is. Hah, Moises looked pretty mad when the fan got the ball. :) Yeesh, what I find dumb is that the Chicago FANS were booing Moises, a clutch player and a CUB. Fans like that don't deserve a baseball team. ............j/k. Yankees will likely win the series. Again. Oh well, it's all up to the Expos next year. Hopefully they have a relatively injury free season (last season, maybe? I dunno, they keep saying they are gonna move). Wohoo!!!! - The Former DMiller - 14th October 2003 I don't totally blame that fan. He was just a tool of the billy goat. He's lucky security escorted him out at the end of the game, though. Wohoo!!!! - The Former DMiller - 14th October 2003 Wohoo!!!! - Laser Link - 14th October 2003 I have a feeling the fans were booing the other fan who touched the ball, not Alou. I sure was. I know he got caught up in the moment, and there is the goat to be considered, but you gotta know what is happening during that play and understand that your team needs this out more than you need the ball. Of course ithe loss is not totally his fault, and Gonzalez sure didn't help, but even with the Gonzalez error only 2 runs would have scored that inning if Alou had made the catch. Only 1 would have scored on Lee's double, making it 3-2, and the next hit was a sac fly that would have been the 3rd out. Somebody needs to call the Ghostbusters and get rid of this bitter goat and his owner. Wohoo!!!! - Laser Link - 14th October 2003 Hahaha. That's hilarious Derek. In a sick and twisted sort of way. And it really is a good thing for him that security escorted him out, because I'm sure enough people saw his face on the big screen that he would be in a lot of trouble if he was alone. Wohoo!!!! - The Former DMiller - 14th October 2003 Seeing as there is no big screen at Wrigley I doubt many people knew what he looked like. I'd just be worried about the people around him who saw what happened up close. Wohoo!!!! - Laser Link - 14th October 2003 Really, Wrigley doesn't have a big screen? I know Wrigley is old and even the lights are still a relatively new thing, but I figured every stadium did by now. My bad. Wohoo!!!! - Laser Link - 14th October 2003 Hopefully this flash movie will make you laugh and ease the pain. But how do they make these things so quick? And here's another. Wohoo!!!! - A Black Falcon - 14th October 2003 No big screen? Really? Wow... even Fenway has a big screen! Sure, you can't see it from all the seats, but you can from most of them... Oh, and the Cubs' curse is somewhat different from the Red Sox. The Sox are cursed to blow it at the last, worst possible, moment... like losing four straight World Series game 7's ('46, '67, '75, '86)... the Cubs are usually just bad. :) Oh yeah, the Yankees win. It'll be near-impossible to take two straight in Yankee Stadium... And how about game 6? Andy Pettite vs. John Burkett is a ... interesting ... matchup... Wohoo!!!! - The Former DMiller - 15th October 2003 The Cubs curse is different because it doesn't allow the Cubs to even get to the World Series. The Sox are allowed to get there, but they just can't win it. People in Chicago are already referring to yesterday's incident as the Inning. Hopefully we won't have to refer to it like that anymore if the Cubs win today. Wohoo!!!! - A Black Falcon - 15th October 2003 Yeah, the Cubs usually don't get this far... I hope they win, though. I really don't want to see Yankees-Marlins... Wohoo!!!! - The Former DMiller - 15th October 2003 They had a pretty good Page 2 story about the situation at ESPN's Page 2. I suggest you all check it out. Anyway, back to the Red Sox/Yankees game. Former Cub Felix Heredia just walked in the go-ahead run for the Sox. Wohoo!!!! - Great Rumbler - 15th October 2003 :D Wohoo!!!! - The Former DMiller - 15th October 2003 Steve Bartman, 26 Northbrook, IL Wohoo!!!! - Fittisize - 15th October 2003 Ha ha ha ha.... :D Now now, don't do something that an angry soccer fan might do.... Wohoo!!!! - A Black Falcon - 15th October 2003 Why is that picture funny? Poor Cubs... they can't catch a break. Blowing a 3-1 lead, losing twice at home with two of the best pitchers in the league... now THAT'S choking. :( But on the bright side, the Sox won! Yeah! Game 7 tomorrow. Pedro vs Clemens, round two... I can't wait. :D Wohoo!!!! - Great Rumbler - 15th October 2003 Quote:Why is that picture funny? Because the guy that the arrow is pointing to single-handedly caused his team to lose game #6 of the playoffs. Well, maybe not, but that's the way people will remember him. Wohoo!!!! - A Black Falcon - 15th October 2003 I'd call that a lot more tragic than funny. Wohoo!!!! - A Black Falcon - 17th October 2003 All I will say is that that stunk. Really, really badly. Nothing else I'm thinking is something I'd say out loud... Okay, I can think of one thing that I can say. Fire Grady Little. NOW. That idiot lost us the game, blew our chance to beat the Yankees... he lost the biggest Red Sox game since the '86 series and there is NO WAY he should have his option picked up. Kick him out the door now. Idiot... http://espn.go.com/page2/s/simmons/031017.html Wohoo!!!! - A Black Falcon - 17th October 2003 :bummed: :bummed: :bummed: :bummed: :bummed: :bummed: :bummed: :bummed: :bummed: :bummed: :bummed: :bummed: :bummed: :bummed: :hammer: :bang: :bang: :bang: :bang: :bang: :bang: :bang: :bang: :bang: :bang: :hammer: :hammer: :hammer: :hammer: :bang: :bang: :bang: :bang: :bang: :bang: :bang: :bang: :bang: :bang: :bang: :bang: :bang: :bummed: :bummed: :bummed: :bummed: :bummed: :bummed: :bummed: :bummed: :bummed: :bummed: :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :bang: :bang: :bang: :bang: :bang: :bang: :bang: :bang: :bang: :bang: :barf: :barf: :barf: :barf: :barf: :barf: :barf: :barf: :barf: :barf: :barf: :barf: :barf: :barf: :barf: :barf: :barf: :barf: :barf: :barf: :barf: :barf: :barf: :barf: :barf: :barf: :barf: :barf: :barf: :barf: :barf: :barf: :barf: :barf: :barf: :barf: :bang: :bang: :bang: :bang: :bang: :bang: :bang: :bang: :hammer: :hammer: :hammer: :hammer: :hammer: :hammer: :hammer: :hammer: :cuss: :cuss: :cuss: :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :cuss: :cuss: ... No, I haven't really calmed down yet. I hate the Yankees SO MUCH!!! Wohoo!!!! - Great Rumbler - 17th October 2003 I hope the Marlins win. Wohoo!!!! - A Black Falcon - 17th October 2003 I hate them both. Stupid Marlins have stupid Jeffery Loria, the guy who destroyed the Expos... I GUESS I have to root for them, but I hate that team... Wohoo!!!! - Great Rumbler - 18th October 2003 The Marlins have Ivan Rodriguez, though, that's why I hope they win. Texas made a very stupid move by getting rid of him. Wohoo!!!! - The Former DMiller - 18th October 2003 There's a good article at the Chicago Tribune about how kids are taking their first Cubs' disappointment.
