UGH!! How can I actually root for the Sox to LOSE two games so I can be there for the big finish!? Even WORSE, I have a few connections that just might get me TICKETS to game 6 and/or 7!! AAARRRGH. WHY didn't I plan my vacation for one week earlier!?!? p.s. go sox.

Here's hoping you get your wish to be there for the last game of the series (and maybe the one before).

Hope you get to see a game X, but also kinda hoping it doesn't go to game 7 .

Originally Posted By officerminnie As much as I love a close, keep you on the edge of your seat type series, I am definitely rooting for Boston to finish it today. Our own Jon Lester is slated to be the starting pitcher! What better feel-good story could there be than a 23 year old kid who recovers from cancer and less than a year later, is the winning pitcher in the World Series!!!
Originally Posted By Mr X Well, I'm torn. Obviously I don't *want* them to lose, but dang it's so close! I leave for Boston TOMORROW! Ugh. Games' already started right? What's going on so far?
Originally Posted By Mr X I see 1-0 Sox...yup, might be all over tonight. C'est la vie, and GO BOSOX!!!!

Originally Posted By DJ7K LoL, Pirate Princess! I know what you mean all too well. Congrads to the Sox! Sorry, Fkurucz You're with some company though, as the Cards fans were the previous team to be swept by the Sox in the World Series. Also, the other Sox team in 2005 swept another team who'd never been to the Fall Classic either, the Astros. I kept thinking the Rockies were in the playoffs when they were still an expansion team and had Galaragga and played at Mile High? But Scully kept saying, this would be the first time in the playoffs. SuperDry! I almost forgot! Tomorrow between 2 and 5 right? And I think that was the only stolen base wasn't it? So, Mr.X, you're from Boston? You must be familiar with Worchester?
Originally Posted By fkurucz ^^They made the divisional playoffs in their first year, but lost. This year was their first NLCS and WS. And they did play at Mile High back then while Coors field was being built. Of course, the old Mile High is now long gone. A lot of people still call Invesco Field Mile High Stadium even though its official name is Invesco Field at Mile High. If you had told me in April that they would make it to the WS I would laughed really hard.
Originally Posted By DJ7K Ah, ok. Yeah, time to time, like most broadcasters - even the best - he'll (Vin Scully) make a mistake now and then. Sometimes he'll catch himself, sometimes he won't. Still a joy to listen to though, and we're quite blessed to have him for at least one more year. That's ok, I remember years ago someone from San Diego told me they still prefer to call Qualcomm Stadium, Jack Murphy or The Murph. I bet theres folks in Arizona who still prefer to call Chase Field, the BOB (Bank One Ballpark).
