How bout this.... Astros win game 7 and face the Red Sox. Red Sox go up 3-0 and the Stros win 4 Straight to win the WS. BoSox fans are even more humiliated and the curse stays alive and well.
It doesn't even matter to me who win the NLCS, they has to beat the RedSox! Long live the curse. PS: Who else think Francona is trying to give Pedro a chance to show off at Yankee stadium? There is absolutely no reason to pull Lowe given the fact he is pitching out of his mind.
I hate to agree with Buck and McCarver, but I don't understand why Pedro would be coming into this game. Lowe has been PHENOMENAL; you ride him as long as possible. Maybe he told Francona that he can't go any longer, but I still don't see the need for Pedro - not in a game where you have a 7 run lead. Maybe the pen is really gassed.
What a stinker by the Yankees staff. They should have saved Lieber for game 7 on extra rest and pitched Loiza in game 6. This is just hideous. I quit watching when Johnny "Automatic Out" Damon jit a freaking GRAND SLAM (nice move bringing in the guy who led the majors in giving up home runs). Oh well, maybe they will come back in the bottom of the 9th (NFL) or there is always next year. Beltran sure would be a nice addition.
Just wanted to pop in here and say I'm rootin for the Sox. Not only would I love to play them in the WS, I really just want to see them finally shutup the Yankees.
ICAM...I found that quite odd to be down 6-7 runs and heckling the pitcher. As I'm typing this it's down to 5.
