It looks like police in riot gear have become ball park fixtures.

I agree. I dislike both teams intensely, but both calls were right.

A-Rod is such an a**. One of the best things to happen to the Rangers was trading that egomaniac for our AL all star MVP...
Good riddance A-Rod!

I would love to see Bo Sox be the first team to win a playoff series from an 0 - 3 deficit. That would be sweet!!

If the Sox win tonight, it will be remembered as one of the greatest comeback stories in sports history. They'll talk about it for decades. You'll be able to buy the DVD and watch it over and over again. There will be T-shirts and posters and some clever slogan to help people remember the series forever.

If the Yankees win tonight, it will be a footnote in a long sad story. They'll say "the Yankees had a scare ....." and that will be it.

GO SOX!!!!

Even if the Sox lose, this series will go down as one of the best (if not the greatest) comebacks in professional sports history.

I am just so proud of the sox I could just cry ... Schilling plays with a bloody ankle (anytime there's blood, it gotta hurt), A-rod tries to CHEAT is way on base (then vehemently defends his ridiculous move), an Yankees fan get hit by a home run ball and almost changes the course of history (why couldn't the ball have ricocheted off their head), the riot police had to show-up in force (nothing new to New Yorkers). WHAT A GAME ... I love it.

The big question for all Red Sox fans:

Which Sox player/coach will have the new middle name F***in' after tonight's game?

As in Bill F***in' Buckner or Grady F***in' Little...

We'll have the answer to that if the Sox blow it.

wouldn't it be sweet for Alex to be a curse to the yam dankees.

I hope the Arod addition to the Yankess WILL reverse the curse ! They are now cursed by the biggest ego in all of baseball, who routinely trash talks his way outta town, and now adds cheating to his resume. I remember when I thought he was the nicest young man in baseball. Until he threw a tantrum because the Mariners wouldn't bring in the fences, said being a Mariner was like being in a nightmare. I was thrilled when the Mets told him and his crass agent to beat it. Poor Rangers had to deal with him for a few years. Can't stand him !!

But OMG what a fantastic game last night ! It just makes you smile to see the Sox in those 'why not us ?' shirts.

Love that spirit. ( but can we cut down on the mistakes for the last game, guys ?)
