Yee HAH! Game 7 is ON, and for my money, its still gonna be the Sox. I
predict that TB will come out swinging, and put 5 runs on the board
before the end of the 5th, and the Sox will win 7-6 in 10 innings.

How's that for a random guess out of the blue? :-)


"Horrible"?

This series has had me more tense than if I was standing on a 50th story ledge
in a gale. So, I don't need a repeat of Game 5 - or anything remotely
approaching it ;-)

I'd enjoy another game like tonite's, if you can swing it, thank you very much
in advance.

Game 1, the Ray's were tight as drums, and it showed. They got a lot looser
after the two-sided slugfest of Game 2 (which we should have won, damnit!) and
stayed loose for 3 through 5. But after their incredible Game 5 loss, they
were back to being majorly up-tight tonite for Game 6. A total of four hits
for *that* team?

And I predict they're gonna be even *tighter* tomorrow night. So, if the Sox
can remember that their still playing with house money like they were tonight,
the Sox should be the favorites. And if Lester is on his game, the Rays are
done.

btw: I nearly croaked tonite trying to find the fricken game on the TV. I
didn't see the pre game show as I was out finishing up helping my youngest son
move into his new house - which doesn't have the cable turned on yet. I got
home right at 8PM, turned on the tube - and saw some black comedy show for 15
minutes, spanning the entire first inning of the game! I scanned all the
damned channels, checked the newspaper tv listings twice, checked the internet
- everything said the game should have started on TBS - but that damned comedy
show was on! I was in the middle of calling my BIL who was also nearly
apoplectic when the comedy show was finally replaced with the game!

Damned TBS - they're strictly Amateur Hour when it comes to sports
broadcasts...
