That ump had a strike zone that was about ten feet wide and sixteen feet tall.
Yankees down 2-0! Yeah!

Double plays frikkin killed them yesterday. Jake Westbrook had that sinker working and the Sox looked helpless trying to hit it.
Must win game tonight.
file under 'sad but true'
The Sox bullpen did a nice job last night. Unfortunately the Cleveland bullpen was just as good.
Only sometimes. Others it was a lot smaller. He just wasn't remotely consistent, which is way, way worse than being consistantly off.
Good game so far. 6-0 Injuns.
Wait, I spoke too soon. 7-0
...and the Sox set another record for consecutive home runs...
Weird game tonight.
Welcome to 3-1, Cleveland. One more to go.
Man the Red Sox are just getting their asses kicked in this series. Not much more you can say besides that. 
This series has been a blast to watch, I've got to admit. I like the way the Indians (and the Rockies for that matter) don't bank on huge big ball hitters and get it done with a single here, a single there, stolen bases and occasional big hits.
Makes for exciting baseball.

they had two HRs in the only inning they scored in last night.
the sox are digging their own grave for sure, but i'd imagine a partial observer would comment that the sox seem to have less breaks going for them than the indians...count how many balls have been scorched right @ defenders...they aren't doing such a good job of baseball's maxim...'hit 'em where they ain't'
Boston just needs to manage a game five win to have a fighting chance. Get this series back to Fenway!!!
Boston just needs to bump up their payroll to be competitive.
Maybe they'll sign Alex Rodrigues for the $100 billion his agent is asking.
True, last night was a big HR night for both sides. Throughout the ALCS and ALDS the Injuns relied more on everyone chipping in to get the runs they need.they had two HRs in the only inning they scored in last night.

I think a big part of all this is defense. Boston's been playing great D, but the mistakes they do make are exploited pretty heavily. Same with Cleveland.
Youkilis dropping that foul ball might have been the turning point of last night's game.
Why? If he hadn't dropped it, a run would have scored. The fact that he did drop it meant the play was dead and the base runner had to head back to third. If he caught it cleanly, the runner wouldn't have gone.
If he had caught it and the run scored, the next out would have ended the 5th and limited the damage to 2 (or 3, can't remember.)
Ahh, sorry, I missed the big 3-run HR, didn't realize that was when it came around.
That should really help their post season performance.
how about that liner back up the middle, which Wakefield couldn't grab? you certainly can't fault him for trying to catch it, but had he missed, Pedroia was *right* there to catch it behind him...those are the sorts of breaks that are not going boston's way. again, this isn't an apology...coco crisp and julio lugo can not hit the ball out of the infield...
True, you can't really blame Wakefield for that either, that would have been a sure way out of the inning.
It seems like most of the Sox order is slumping at the moment. To be honest, this is NOT what I expected out of the ALCS (although I'm thrilled with the result.)
BREAKING NEWZ: Joe Torre has turned down a one year offer to manage the Spankmes.
I guess that was his way of saying "don't patronize me, fire me."
I think it was 2. And the guy who would have scored if that ball had been caught scored anyway.
I wish ESPN would STFU about Joe Torre. It is football season afterall.
What you want to hear more about Tom ****ing Brady?
Manager of the Yankees is the biggest coaching job in sports and it's not even close. There aren't any marquee NFL matchups to bump this from the top story. This is good though because if the Red Sox lose tonight, this Torre story will take away from some of that attention tomorrow.
#1 draft pick for the Rams in '08, mofos.

No seriously though, the world series is about to start, there's NFL football going on. The Redsox are imploding...and WTF is ESPN going on about nonstop? The effing Yankoffs! Ihate it.
It's like when Brett Favre held a press conference the week of the superbowl to let the world know he WASNT retiring. Manufacturing drama to keep their mugs on TV.
The NFC West focking sucks. I'm not sure where that fits into this discussion, but it's worth noting.
I havn't been watching ESPN, but in general I agree. STFU if all you're going to say is that nothing has happened yet. If he gets canned, yeah, go ahead an discuss. Ditto if he gets resigned. Until then, I'd like to hear about stuff that's actually happening, not random speculation/ gossip.
torre has my respect, even as a sox fan.
worst call ever.
not talking about Torre.

Manny is a douchebag.
Ortiz friggin' trucked it from first to home on that ball, and the best Manny could manage was first base.

2 outs and ortiz is running on anything.
that call was blown. the replay clearly showed the ball hitting the back edge of that yellow border. isn't that thing made of foam/rubber?
how could the ball bounce FORWARD when hitting the back edge of foam? the wall behind the yellow edge is sloped back TOWARDS the field. high fly ball, hitting that, yeah...i can see it coming back onto the field.

Manny is a dickhead. I'm still questioning that call. Looked gone to me.
