I’m too out of my mind to comment. Here’s my running list of the game (to blatently rip off Simmons):
8:39 – Third base coach must go. Come on, stupid mistakes aren’t fun in game 7.
8:41 – Ortiz.. thank you. Just thank you.
8:52 – Could Yankees batters complain more about obvious strikes? Sit down hitler stash.
8:59 – Brief discussion about Dunkin Donuts with Borgizzle over AIM. Has anyone else noticed how packed they are in the morning during this series?
9:01 – Time to talk to Kevin Brown. Bullpen warming up. Wall: 1 Brown: 0
9:08 – Are SURE we can’t keep Kevin any longer? PLEASE?
9:11 – Damon, I officially apologize for my previous comments about you.
9:13 – My heart is officially out of my chest. I am in overload.
9:15 – Every time the Fox announcers feel the need to regurgitate the obvious thing the Red Sox are trying to accomplish tonight I feel compelled to yell “LALALALALA”.
9:22 – Fox is still stuck announcing the obvious. Trying to jinx apparently at all costs. Is there anyone watching this for the first time tonight? .. “LALALALA”
9:23 – Carolyn decides whore-hey looks like a weasel. I agree.
9:45 – D. Lowe, settle down. We’re OK.
9:53 – See 9:11PM.
9:54 – Anyone else hate the dubbed in hit noise that Fox has on replays?
9:56 – Apparently Fox thinks Manny is Bellhorn.. they flashed Bellhorn’s stats for Manny twice.
10:11 – Funny, Matsui doesn’t feel the need to karate chop D. Lowe’s hand..
10:13 – Cask N’ Flagon is officially a pickle party.
10:25 – If I start to get down on Manny like I was on Damon (see 9:11 and 9:53) do you think he will wake up?
10:32 – I feel surprisingly calm, hopefully it’s not because it’s before some sort of “storm”.
10:34 – LALALALALA! LALALALALA! LALALALALALA!!!
10:37 – The commercials with the pigeons flocking in weirds me out. Flashbacks of a seagull incident on the Vineyard involving a PB&J.
10:43 – Shef, it’s bat not a light saber. Carolyn informs me that mosquitos are breeding in Logan’s water.
10:49 – I’m concerned about D. Lowe coming out. Seems like he’s doing well against the Yankee bats.
10:59 – I’m obsessively eating banana chips. They’re just not good.
11:02 – Gee, I wonder if the organist knows that “Let’s go Yankees” sounds like “Who’s your Daddy”?
11:04 – Why not keep Lowe in? I just don’t get this move. Francona has a plan.. he has a plan.. he has a plan.. Oh, and my surprising calmness as of 10:32 is definitely gone. Why wake the sleeping beast?
11:12 – Game 7 of the series.. one of the biggest games of all time. Fox can’t get more than 5 sponsors? Levitra/Viagra, House, Sprint Phone with Howie Long, and the Visa Check Card.
11:15 – A run to slow the crowd down would be nice during this at bat.
11:16 – OK, thanks Bellhorn! I’m going to type 11:15 again before every at bat.
11:17 – 11:15 – A run to slow the crowd down would be nice during this at bat.
11:19 – That didn’t pan out so I’m dropping that mini-superstition.
11:20 – Carolyn informs me that A-Rod wears Purple Passion Lipstick.
11:22 – I really dislike Nicholas Cage.
11:27 – Apparently A-Rod has boobs now too. Can you feel the love?
11:15 – A run to give some cushion would be nice during this at bat.
11:44 – Alright, I can’t drop the superstition. It worked out.. stop complaining.
11:47 – Red Sox taking the field at the bottom of the ninth. Game on my friends. Game on.
11:54 – One Down.
11:55 – Two Down.
11:58 – Please. One more. Please. My heart is pounding. I’m still nervous.
12:02 – SOX WIN! SOX WIN! SOX WIN!!!!!

5:39 – Note to self…dont ever hesitate or stutter step on 2nd base, in game 7. Does any other man watching this game think Damons hair is sexy? Did I just say that outloud…sh$t
5:41 – “Big Papi”. I never thought I would enjoy hearing that on tv, other than Skinamax at 3am
5:52 – Obviously strikes are getting to Sheffield. Maybe my neighbor IS funny in calling them the hanky’s
( hankerchef, crying..)
5:59 – Brief discussion about Dunkin Donuts with E dbl over AIM. Told him that Starbucks makes me poop – he spoke of how he secretly makes love to Ice Coffees
6:01 – Bye Bye Brown, Shoulda’ stayed in LA ..you’d be watching your team lose with me drinkin brew – Wait, does that make sense
6:08 – Guys, your basically pitching against Gods will. You could put Jesus in there if you wanted, not gonna happen
6:11 – Agree with E over AIM. We owe Damon man sex for doubting him
6:13 – My kid just vomited. Never fails.
6:23 – Ive got ESP, does Posada look like a weasel, or is it just me ( and C bomb)
6:53 – add a cuddle session afterwards please see 6:11
7:11 – Matsui’s has no chance in a ootrace to 1st with those earlobes dude. Call Japan, tell them Aerodynamics aren’t just for Nissans
7:43 – Gary might have shaved his mustache while on deck with his bat stance. Im getting dizzy. Where did he learn the word “steady”? The freakin’ “Tilt a whirl” at Cannobe Lake
7:49 – Applaud. Great job
8:04 – Bad move. As much as I love Pedro, this isnt a game you want him in
8:20 – Hamburger Helper helps a hamburger -make it….a great meal (also could have sang M I C, K E Y, mouse )
8:27 – Funbags, Material Midgets, Melons, Bowling Balls, Manbags, Mantits, Man hangers, teets, boobs
8:47 –
Take out dinner and the ball game on tv. $23.75
2 ltr bottle of Mt Dew, and a 8oz bottle of formula, $3.67
Teaching your baby daughter to hate the Yankee’s and assure her there no longer is a curse, priceless.

Good times fellas. What a feeling of inner peace I have right now. I can’t explain it. Here are my thoughts: What can you say about Lowe? Whatever it is it’s not enough. Huge with a capital H. Unhittable sinker. Damon; to say he was due would be an understatement but what a way to bust out. He cannot not pull this in the Series though. He needs to get on base. By the way, I just referenced the Series, the World Frickin’ Series. It’s really happening. Anyway, Manny, get your shit together STAT. He’s still not getting his regular cuts at the plate. You don’t get the sense of danger that usually comes along with a Manny at bat. His timing is off. I can only predict one thing, Manny will have a monster Series (there it is again). I’m talking crazy frickin’ numbers in either Busch or Minutemaid. Ortiz, well you deserve to wear that pimpy mink coat to the ballpark with what you did. Papi takes his place alongside Yaz for the way he carried the team. Two big hits from Bellhorn the last two nights. Hats off to him but I still think he’s wanted in three states for murder. Smile man:) I’m gonna throw some love Francona’s way now. Having had a night to think about it I can now see that he made the right decision with Lowe. It’s clear now that he was managing ahead to the Series by taking Lowe out for Petey. Tito demonstrated that he had faith in his bullpen to hold on to a 7 run lead and that taking out Lowe would put things in line for the Series rotation. Yes, I think Lowe will be in the rotation. You hear that? That’s about 6 or 7 GM’s reaching for their checkbooks to sign Lowe. I’ll ask this question again: Anyone miss Nomar right now? Good, let’s move on to Cabrera. What can I say about him? He may have turned this season around just by NOT being Nomar. He does the little things. He’s a winner. He’s both electric and solid on defense and he loves to play. He is the anti-Nomar. In fact, from this moment forward I shall refer to Cabrera as Ramon. Scratch that. So here we are today, on the cusp of the World Series after having put the Yankees to bed. I tell you, it shouldn’t have happened any other way. Going through the freaking Twins to get to the Series would not have been the same. The greatest comeback in history just so happened to create the greatest collapse in history by the Yanks. If you believe in curses then you must see that the so-called curse has truly been reversed. Believe, why not us? Goddam straight.

I recommend that everyone read the sports page at nypost.com. Absolutely awesome. The writers pull no punches whatsover. They make no effort to come off as blaise. Unreal. Did this really happen?

Ok, has anyone even gone to Ebay in the last 2 days… its absolutely riduculous. Type in RED SOX, then choice MENS CLOTHING. There is nothing but Whos your Daddy, now and Whos Your Papi shirts…everywhere.
I am going to put a bid in for my personal ebay red sox shirt favorite. “WWJDD” you figure it out
