Nice graphic!
Put Longoria in that chart and I’d like it a lot more… Ortiz isn’t much to look at.

god red sox fans are chanting like they have a chance to come back and win or something
when you think .500 is the best a team can do and they are currently playing in the ALCS for a chance to advance to the WS, you have to stop and think that the future of that team is going to be amazing. GO TB RAYS!

I agree
I want to close this thing out with Shields pitching like Shields and Dice-k like Dice-k
by staplemaniac on Oct 14, 2008 11:39 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
If Shields goes game 5, can you bring him back for a game 7 on 3 days rest? is it even 3 days?

How about ending this series in 5 games?
I hope the next home game the Rays play is Game 1 of the World Series! I say we keep the foot on the gas pedal & knock these fuckers ( Red Sox ) out before they get any confidence or life.

Do you possibly have a hi-res of this shot?
This will run in TBT* tomorrow if so.
by NY Tyler on Oct 14, 2008 11:59 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
To clarify
This is referring to the Stephen King shot.

Not exactly
It’s my dad’s paper, though. I guess they’ve already got the shot if you pulled it from The Heater, though. Ah well.

Haha
I’ve been visiting the site regularly since this Spring, but I think you’ve gotten several mentions in TBT and/or The Times based on some nuggets I’ve passed along (Sternberg posting on this site being one I can recall off the top of my head).
Needless to say, with TBT’s business format, they are far from the newspaper status quo of being apprehensive about the existence of blogs.

I actually like reading the TBT quite a bit

He can live in Sarasota in the winter (which I think he does)
Trust me the lady who sits next to me at Rays games has tickets, yes this is all fact, Lightning, Rays, Yankees, Bucs and probably more.

I GOT KICKED OUT OF FENWAY PARK FOR RINGING MY COWBELL
That’s right. I got asked to leave, my ticket was taken from me. I was forced to the ground by the cops, and thrown onto the street.
I was not drunk! All for “more cowbell.”
by plasticman on Oct 15, 2008 12:04 AM EDT reply actions 0 recs
Should have put down the fucking cowbell
by Acadien on Oct 15, 2008 12:05 AM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
I did.
The security guard wanted that too. Did not let him take it.
by plasticman on Oct 15, 2008 12:12 AM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
are you serious? forced to the ground?
by walkoffwalk on Oct 15, 2008 12:05 AM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Yes, Nearly arrested. For cowbell.
I had two tiny beers over seven innings. I was clearly not drunk and disorderly.
by plasticman on Oct 15, 2008 12:08 AM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Also, I was being baited by sox fans. Of course, one of the fans who threatened my life because I used the cowbell did not get ejected.
Even though he was double my size.
by plasticman on Oct 15, 2008 12:09 AM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
I completely agree with you
But you brought a cowbell to Fenway, you had to know that wouldn’t end well.
by steve-o1285 on Oct 15, 2008 12:13 AM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Didn't think it would end that badly.
When the security guard asked me to stop I did.

Was CC crying when talking to Gammons?
by walkoffwalk on Oct 15, 2008 12:14 AM EDT reply actions 0 recs
looked like he was close
My favorite part though was Gammons, “You’ve been a Dev……..a Ray for 7 years now…”

So...I like CC not hitting in the top of the order.

so do I
I wonder if he will be less hesitant about it going forward.
by rglass44 on Oct 15, 2008 12:16 AM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
it really is a good spot for him because he doesn't take many pitches

no worries
Only a couple last night. The 18 pack I put down was even sweeter because my tab ended up $18. I love my bar.

The way it should play out, in my opinion.
Shields tomorrow. Let him go deep but be more than willing to use the BP to try to end it there. I would stay away from Price under almost all circumstances. Throw Kaz in game 6 if needed. Have Price ready for the quick hook on Kaz. He should now be fully rested and barring unforeseen circumstances the rest of the BP should be in pretty good shape following the lack of work the last couple of days. Our pen is poised to help out and out starters are fully rested. You don’t get any do-overs, and there’s no sense in stomping on their throat here.

in my opinion game 5 is going to come down to the pens
and well we have a much bigger advantage then them so i think that this series is going to end on thursday

like a ball point or a felt tip pen?
I really feel that the Rays are feeling it. The Rays know they let game 1 slip away, they can take game 5.

The Indians and Yanks were up 3-1 on the Sox in the ALCS

Not to say that it couldn't happen...
But those were completely different situations. The Sox aren’t as good as they were then and the Rays….well….are freakin awesome!
by steve-o1285 on Oct 15, 2008 1:38 AM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
The Sox also had game 6 and 7 at home
The 2004 series is more worrisome since they won 6 and 7 at Yankee Stadium but there are very few similarities between the 04 Sox and 08 Sox. That team had heart – this team has shown little outside Youk and Pedroia.

This Boston team is only a shadow of the '04 and '07 teams.
It was pointed out last night that Manny and Mike Lowell had 18 RBI in the ALCS last year. They aren’t playing with the Red Sox this series. The pitching isn’t what it was last year either. The Rays aren’t the ‘04 Yankees or ’07 Indians. They have a different attitude, and Papa Joe will keep everyone calm and positive. I don’t see them choking.

Shouldn't that be "pounds per square inch?"
because pounds per inch could be a rather nebulous definition of pressure
