So, if Aneheim have that inane, asinine 'Rally Monkey', can we Boston fans say we have the 'Rally Gorilla'? (Read the post below this one!!)
Great win last night. Beckett was superb. Best part of my morning so far? Chopping it up online with Hurricanes veteran and h-u-g-e Red Sox fan, Garret Pearse. Gar was in Boston last week and made it to a game, a fact he has been rubbing in my face ever since. Read on.
Cormac says:
...and a good day to you sir!
Garret says:
It is indeed. Josh Beckett is a nasty man
Cormac says:
He is a dirty nasty man and he throws harder than normal human beings.
Did you catch any of it? It was almost, and I hesitate to say this, too easy.
- Note: remember, last night's game started at 11:30 pm Irish time! So asking if he caught any of it was actually a interested 'did you, parent of two raucous kids, stay up that late? are you that crazy?' -
Garret says:
His stats are incredible = 80 out of 108 pitches for strikes, relentless. Did u watch it all?
Cormac says:
Sounds like Tom Brady's completion stats for this early NFL season. I did yes, as I am a real fan, did you watch 2 innings and pansie out of it?
Garret says:
no dude - I prefer to travel over to the games for real
Cormac says:
Touché!
Cormac says:
I loved how he was firing fastballs past the Halo hitters that looked like foul balls or something but the ball was already in the catchers glove. Both the hitter and me were confused. He was really burying his fastball.
Garret says:
That's funny - I could see that from some of the highlights - his curve was filthy too- very hard to pick up. If Dice K gets it going tonight it could be over quickly - but lets not get ahead of ourselves
Cormac says:
yes he had that low, hard breaking curve going, the one the Yankees caved in to in 2003. Let's not get ahead of ourselves. So who are we playing in the ALCS?
Garret says:
Steady! I am hoping the Indians do a number of the Spanks
Garret says:
on the Spanks
Garret says:
I meant to say
Garret says:
If they want to do a number of them too, that's fine with me
Cormac says:
Yeah don't worry, I know the full punishment that is handed out by the Sports Karma Gods when you get ahead of yourself, just for clarification I was only joking! I was only kidding! The Tribe have to match up well against NY surely? Big CC and then Carmona as a 1-2 punch with those crazy Indians hitters waiting to pounce on Mussina's 78 mph fastball?
Garret says:
They need to win the first 2 games
Cormac says:
Who, the Indians? Can they not go 0-2 and then come back and win 3-2? Isn't that how NY roll in the playoffs?
Garret says:
I'd forgotten that - sorry
Cormac says:
You had forgotten that? Sure you had!
Garret says:
Good to see Papi back on form - excellent timing
Cormac says:
Well for a couple of weeks now he has looked like Papi version 2004-2006, not Papi version early-no punch-2007. He really clobbered that one last night. Pow. What did you make of the Fenway crowd? I have seen rowdier atmospheres at a James Blunt concert.
Garret says:
He is hitting it the opposite way too - he had two in the game I saw - that's always a good sign
Garret says:
Do you mean last night or at the game I was at?
Cormac says:
I meant last night and stop gloating
Garret says:
The atmosphere at the game I was at was pretty good- there were a lot of tense moments particularly in later innings - crowd on their feet
Garret says:
you'd have to have been there
Garret sends:
Cormac says:
Dude...cut it out. Seriously though, having watched the incredible Champions league game at Glasgow earlier in the night, the Fenway atmosphere was, sadly, pathetic, no?
Garret says:
I didn't see enough this morning to judge - But I don't think the Angels will ever get the blood flowing like a Yankees series does
Cormac says:
I assume it was a case of a bit of a corporate crowd for game one?
Garret says:
Also - Its looks like Beckett was so dominant that the crowd was almost unnecessary
Garret says:
Saving it for the 1-0 victory tonight
Garret says:
just realized Sox game isn't till tomorrow, that sucks
Cormac says:
..maybe Beckett did take the steam out of things a little but in the early innings it could have been a relatively meaningless April showdown if you went by the crowd reaction to events. 1-0 victory tonight? You mean tomorrow night, right? Day off today for the Sox. Why? Because they won the AL East and get to choose when they play their first round games. That's how we roll.
Garret says:
I would prefer to keep going while we have momentum
Garret says:
u rooting for any NL team?
Cormac says:
You are never happy, they win the AL East for you and you aren't happy! I am indeed sir, a strange choice (for me) too, the Phillies, I like their style. Their home crowd is amazing, incredibly loud, very passionate. Reminds me of Fenway back when it was flooded with unspoilt, 'real' fans that gave a damn. I finally know what Eric Wilbur meant by 'the pink hat brigade' The last 3-4 Phillies games I have watched have been very enjoyable so I thought, let's run with this and see where it takes me. Plus I put €1 on them at 22/1 to win the World Series, you know, because gambling is legal in Ireland.
Garret says:
Alas, we are becoming the Yankees of the 2000's
Garret says:
only $1?
