I still can't believe they had to bring the cops out in full riot gear because of fans throwing debris!! This has been the most exciting 3 games of the season for me....awesome!

Hermi, my bil is gonna turn green with envy when I tell him your Dad met Mickey and has a specially signed baseball to him!! That's a sweet and oh so very cool story that you shared. DS#1 goes to school in NY, bleds Dodger Blue but is a Red Sox fan as well... I've come to enjoy bantering with my NY'er bil about the Yanks...in fact, I just called him and offered to FedEx a box of Kleenex to him to have handy for Game 7.

GO RED SOX!!! Curt Schilling ROCKS! Red Sox/Yankees sure give us exciting games, don't they? I love this series. Are those riot police? There are no riot police in baseball. Ummm, Ginguh Deah, would you like some fries with those 2:08 p.m. words?

OUCH! I think the Sox are going to win this! Did I really promise to root for them all the way if they do? I did, didn't I? I have to say they have been amazingly resilient! Welcome home, Mak!

I am totally disgusted. They should have won 3 games ago. I blame Joe Torre for his pitching choices in Game 5 when the Yankees were ahead, He should have put in Rivera in the 8th inning instead of waiting till the Weenies has the lead. I still believe the Yankees will win. In spite of just throwing 3 games away. I hope that I am right. I still say Sox Suck!!!!

This is for the people that think the umps screwed over the Yankees last night: According to Section 6.1 of the MLB Umpire Manual, "While contact may occur between a fielder and runner during a tag attempt, a runner is not allowed to use his hands or arms to commit an obviously malicious or unsportsmanlike act."
http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/playoffs2004/news/story?id=1905510 He obviously used his hand to bat the ball away, so he is out and the play is dead. Rule 2.00. Interference: (a) Offensive interference is an act by the team at-bat which interferes with, obstructs, impedes, hinders or confuses any fielder attempting to make a play. If the umpire declares the batter, batter runner, or a runner out for interference, all other runners shall return to the last base that was in the judgment of the umpire, legally touched at the time of the interference, unless otherwise provided by these rules. In the event the batter runner has not reached first base, all runners shall return to the base last occupied at the time of the pitch.

Serate, I'm not a Yankee's fan, so I can't answer you....however, Egbob and I are finding it really, really funny! And Egbob says that the Who's Your Daddy pitcher should be taken out before any more damage is done.

Egbok, my husband says the same thing! Wondered why they took the starter out - he only pitched 69 pitches, but I couldn't tell him. [He has a major jest tomorrow and went to bed but is now up cuz he can't sleep and I should know every aspect of the game now *L*] THANK YOU!

Serate,Egbob is at a loss about why they removed the starter, but he's thinking that maybe Pedro asked to be put in??? Well looky at that!!, at least the Sox keep hitting those homeruns!! 9-3 now...Yay!

Pedro & Who's Your Daddy? - an Explanation From Michael Dowd, Your Guide to Baseball. FREE Newsletter. Sign Up Now! Oct 14 2004 Pedro Martinez & his "Daddy" quote Most die-hard baseball fans are familiar with why New York Yankee fans were chanting, "Who's Your Daddy?" during ALCS games in the Bronx this week. In case you're not, ABOUT BASEBALL will take the time now to explain it to you. WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE ORIGIN OF THIS CHANT? The man responsible is Boston Red Sox pitcher Pedro Martinez, presently one of the top hurlers in the majors, with a lifetime record of 182-76, a 2.71 ERA and 2,653 strikeouts over 13 years. HOW DID THIS QUOTE COME ABOUT, WHAT DID HE SAY EXACTLY & WHEN WAS IT? On September 24th in Boston -- with the Bosox leading the Yanks by a run in the eighth, Martinez surrendered key hits to Hideki Matsui, Bernie Williams and Reuben Sierra, blowing the lead as the Red Sox lost, 6-4. It was the second failure for Pedro vs. the Yanks late in the season. Mix those setbacks in with his flop against the Yankees in Game 7 of the '03 ALCS - and you have one frustrated pitcher. Following the 9/24 loss, Pedro said to reporters: "How many times am I going to have the lead and let it go? It was all me, all me. I wanted to bury myself on the mound." Martinez would follow that up with: "We can't find a way to beat them at this point. You have to give them credit. They didn't beat my team. They beat me. They're that good right now. They're that hot. I just tip my hat and call the Yankees my daddy."(implying that the Yankees are his "master" or that they "own" him.) HOW DID PEDRO RESPOND IN HIS FIRST START VS. THE YANKS FOLLOWING THAT QUOTE? With a sold out house chanting "Who's Your Daddy" repeatedly, Martinez pitched Game 2 of the ALCS in New York on Wednesday, October 13. Although he pitched well (three runs on four hits through six innings), the righty was bested by the Yankees' Jon Lieber - and New York won the game, 3-1, taking a 2-0 lead in the best-of-7 ALCS.

Well maybe the manger should quit listening to Pedro? *L* Yep, yet another homerun! I really have no favorite between these two except I like going for the underdog and being 3 down makes you an underdog. DH is a big Cardinals fan. Give me NASCAR anyday over baseball.

Thanks Abby!! Egbob enjoyed hearing me read your post to him. Serate, I'm a Dodger fan myself. I'm not necessarily against the Yankees, it's just that the Yankees ALWAYS seem to be in the World Series....ho hum....so for me, it would be nice to see Bosox playing in the series.

uh, that was supposed to be Pedro deserves the CHANT not the change....where is my head????? Egbok I used to live for Royals games, but kinda lost interest when Georgie baby retired, then totally lost interest when I moved away from KC. DH is a diehard Cardinals fan, as is most of my family. Me - I remember when I was about 5 years old the Cards were playing and I said I was rooting for the other team cuz they had prettier uniforms. My uncle reamed me up one side and down the other and said I wouldn't be a part of the family if I wasn't a Cards fan, so basically until I met my DH I hated the Cards. Cheered for them tonight only cuz he said if I did and they won he'd take me out for ice cream. They did, he did, it was good, and he said he'd make the same deal for tomorrow, but I'm thinking for me to cheer for the Cards 2 nights in a row he's gonna owe me something better than ice cream, win or lose!!!!
