I'm going to be watching this and the Hawks game from a padded room to protect myself
so I’ll just offer this for now.
Go Rays.
I have an HDTV on each one
…well I would except the Hawks game won’t be worth watching this opposite it

I was never rooting for the Rockies in that series
I hate fairy tales. More than I hate the Red Sox.
However, this year features the fairytale Red Sox and that combination is steering me towards post-natally aborting myself.

Ahem
I’m not a Rays fan. I mean, I’m rooting for the Rays, but they’re not the Mariners. If these playoffs have shown me anything, it’s the true nature of bandwagon emotion. Bandwagon success isn’t nearly as fulfilling. I watched them beat Chicago, then I watched them win three games against Boston, and it made me happy, but it didn’t make me ecstatic. I didn’t go to bed thinking about it. I didn’t wake up laughing. It was more like, “hey, neat, this is working out.” It’s been pleasant, and nothing more.

20th inning Red Sox score 5 runs in the top and start celebrating
and then the Rays score 6 in the bottom to destroy the souls of the Red Sox Faithful
That's pretty much the straightest ending for this game
so I don’t know what you’re talking about
Sox scoring two and the Rays scoring three
would be more than sufficient
Keep it real dogg

Yuni has a new workout plan this offseason
I’m predicting he wins MVP next year
This is what Veritak is saying about him self?
What an arrogant jerk…
Could they suck Varitek's dick any harder?
Also, it’s good to know that the only 2 positions where defense matters are catcher and shortstop.
It will be the Rays' undoing, no doubt.

Speaking of, I ran into a guy wearing the same cap as me today.
He told me he’d seen someone in New Orleans wearing a Mariners cap, and tried to talk to him, and the guy was just wearing the hat out of fashion. The fan says dude, pick a team that didn’t lose 101 games.

No, i didn't want to wear it out of fashion, dark blue and your weather make no sense together

Ike Hilliard, I believe

A dude on the Bucs.
It should have been a fumble returned for a touchdown, too, but the refs blew the whistle.
I was hoping it'd be Holmgren.
I fucking hate you Mariners
I was thinking this also, which is stupid.
Both he and Tatupu went for the tackle properly. Neither led with their helmet even though it was a helmet sandwich.
WTF..when did Lester become an elite left-hander?
I fucking hate you Mariners
He sucks...how can he not hang on to the ball while unconcious? Gotta get better hands.

Couldn't advance the fumble because of the whistle..so we got it where it was picked up.

You don't get forward progress if the refs blow the whistle, which they did.
It should have been a touchdown. The zebras will never be call a fair game again after SBXL.
Negated by stupid holding penalty!
