No kidding. There's no excuse for it.

This is ridiculous...

Crisp led off with a bunt single but was picked off...pedroia popped out to 3rd, and Ortiz struck out....but Boston's tactic is clearly to foul off as many pitches as possible and go deep into the count

Apperently there was a router issue in Atlanta.

So they probably wouldnt have been able to broadcast on TNT either.

Ted Turner...always screwing around.

This might be the weirdest playoff game I have ever seen.

 

[ChefChiTown]

I had it muted...why was there a big delay?

 

[Nikkifan19]

Home plate umpire got hurt off a foul ball. Using a 5 man crew now.

Well, I will be there tonight for Game 7.

This is one of those occasions in which I wish I was not able to use the ticket . I was hoping they wrapped up the series in either Game 5 (which they should have) or Game 6.

It should be fun and I predict it to be a nail biter but I am praying for an early offensive explosion from the Rays to help them relax a little bit. This is the first time they have their backs to the wall and it will be interesting to see how they handle it. No matter what happens, they have had a tremendous year and with a payroll that is almost laughable, they clearly have over performed and are a great story.

I am either going to be feeling or later tonight.

Go Rays!

I just saw the highlights of game 6. Must be a great game.
Best wishes for game 7 to both teams.:thumbsup:

Rays are in trouble, facing an experienced team in a game 7 is not easy but they beat up lester last time they faced him and they are a good home team....good luck rays.

 

[Nikkifan19]

Go Rays! Should be a great game!

Come on Rays.

I think its going to be a close game with Tampa winning it late.

I think Pena is going to have a big game, and the bullpen will straighten themselves out.

 

[ChefChiTown]

I think the Red Sox will take the series. They've been in this exact situation, many times before...the Rays haven't. And, I think that's going to hurt Tampa, as they're going to tend to have more nervous and uncalm moments during the game, which will hurt them.

I pretty much feel the exact same way.

I also believe that the series was over for the Ray the second that they announced that Kazmir was starting game 5 instead of Shields.And like I mentioned before,if the Rays do end up losing,that will be the most scrutinized decision since Lou Pinella took Zambrano out of the game last year in the playoffs.

Even though this is a very young and good Rays team,I can't help but to wonder what a loss like this would do to their psyches and how it will effect the team for next year.Remember what happened to the Rockies?

Remember what happened to the Rockies?

Who? :dunno:

I know, I was making a...eh, joke? Yeah, I'll call it a joke, even though it apparently wasn't funny.
