It should be an easy win. We have Garza on the mound tonight.

But you are facing John "The Great" Danks.

 

[Mugen]

Wow. Cubs swept... Just a bunch of guys who were good enough to win 97 games in the regular season and then suck as soon as the NLDS logos were painted on the grass.

Since it doesn't look like the Sox are going to make it either, looks like I'm cheering for the Rays.

John "The Great" Danks gives the Sox another day

What a clutch pitcher he is.

 

[gamebreaker]

Tampa Bay in ALCS BABY!!!
What a great game we played today.
Now all we have to do is beat the Angels or Red Sox in the ALCS and then, the World Series.

Red Sox win

I don't see this next series going over 5 games...I really, really don't want to see the Sox in the Series again though.

 

[gamebreaker]

So it'll be Red Sox vs Rays in the ALCS
That'll be an EPIC battle
I can't wait to see that

And then on the other side, its Phillies vs Dodgers
That will be an interesting matchup but I think the Dodgers will take it

dodgers v rays in the world series.. u heard it here

Oh god I sure hope so.
I'd shit my pants and cry for joy if the Rays win the World Series.
And I'm so glad we got Carl Crawford back, I think he'll have an outstanding year next season.

 

[humankiller99]

crawford is a beast. wasnt he on the orioles before joining the rays?

 

[gamebreaker]

Nope, he got drafted by the Rays in like 1999 or 2000 I think.
He's been with them all his career.
He's a great left fielder and hitter, I'm just glad he's back and next year, they'll be great with Longoria and Crawford working together.

It looks like now

9=4

A seventh-grade student was suspended for a day by his Palmetto, Fla., middle school -- but his principles remain intact and uncompromised.

Zachary Sharples decided on Sunday to get a Rayhawk -- the hairstyle that's taken the region by storm -- in a show of support for the Tampa Bay Rays after their loss Sunday to the White Sox in Game 3 of the ALDS.

The 12-year-old got a mohawk and sprayed it blue, washing out the dye Sunday night before bed.

On Monday, officials at Lincoln Middle School deemed the do a violation of dress code. They gave Sharples two choices: shave his head and return to class -- or serve an in-school suspension.

The choice was easy.

"My son is a diehard baseball fan. He's not a bad kid, he doesn't get into trouble," Sharples' dad told the Bradenton Herald. "All you see in the news right now is about the Rays. ... Now 500 to 1,000 people are walking around with mohawks. It's not offensive."

12-year-old refuses to denounce Rays for middle school

Good for him. I'd tell them to fuck off too.

 

[gamebreaker]

Wow that's some bullshit.
My school is like that, you can only have natural hair colors...
But he's supporting his team...
Its not like he isn't gonna keep it like that forever...

 

[gamebreaker]

Sorry for double post but that game last night was amazing, it was a home run fest.
Upton hit it deep enough to score that winning run in the 11th and thank god Fernando Perez pinch-runned for Navarro. This series will definitely go to 7 games, it's too good.

 

[humankiller99]
