ALDS Game 3 Chat Thread - RedSoxFans

It's win or go home for the Red Sox. I'm ready. I hope they are. - Bryan Person

Here we go Red Sox, here we go! - Kyle

Perhaps I'm high on coffee, but I just think this team is going to come out and hammer the ball today. I just hope the crowd does their part. Interesting article in the globe this morning on how apathetic Fenway can be during the playoffs. Saw that first hand in the '04 and '07 ALCS'. - Kyle

Kyle: How's Regan holding up this morning? - Bryan Person

@Kyle: Hadn't seen that yet. - Bryan Person

Bryan: since she is at the "hoppin house" for a 4yr old birthday...not too good ;) - Kyle

Article I was referring to: http://www.boston.com/sports... - Kyle

Feels like Patriots Day with a ballgame at 11:00am. - Bryan Person

Love the MLB.com camera's right now, get to see pregame stuff and the cameramen scanning the crowd for attractive ladies. - Kyle

@Kyle: Ha! - Bryan Person

@Kyle: Maybe you should have driven down to Mexico to watch the feed. - Bryan Person

You have the "companion product," Kyle. - Bryan Person

Ugh: "Texans at Cardinals" on CBS affiliate in Austin today for the late game. - Bryan Person

From Buck: "Pretty good giddy-up on the fastball so far from Buchholz." - Bryan Person

@bryan: Not a bad idea. Nothing says Baseball Playoffs than a road trip south of the border ;) - Kyle

I saw the Patriots win their first Super Bowl at a sports bar in Brisbane, Australia. Game started at 9:30 on Monday morning. After the win, I went to class. - Bryan Person

My Super Bowl 36 story is a bit different and involves a stampede at a bar in Southie ;) - Kyle

Wonder why the final AL East standings are still on the Monster? - Bryan Person

Whoa, Dave Henderson threw out the ceremonial first pitch today! - Bryan Person

OK Clay, nerves are gone, first is over, now steamroll through the rest of the game. - Kyle

on Hendu: "He jumped up and spun around after his toss and pointed at somebody in the Angels dugout." - Bryan Person

Just noting that tomorrow's Game 4 will start at 8:37pm Eastern. - Bryan Person

Wow, there's a BAA Half-Marathon and Columbus Day Parade in Boston today. Probably a joy driving into Fenway - Bryan Person

Bryan-on Hendu, isn't that what he did when he hit the HR in '86? - Kyle

I think so; did he do the point, though? - Bryan Person

I don't think so, maybe someone dared him in the Angles dugout? - Kyle

Adam said he was watching the game with his kids and not likely to be here chatting much. Maybe the others are doing the same? - Bryan Person

Thinking you are right, ah well, I'll check back in with you mid-game. - Kyle

Same. - Bryan Person

42 pitches for Buch through 2. Not good. - Bryan Person

My kids are watching the game thru the eyes of MLB PowerPros on the Wii from 2006. They are confused by Torii Hunter on the Twins, Kazmir on the Rays...but what a great way for them to learn players around the league. Of course that was the year Ortiz had 54 homers too. - Adam Cohen

I'm going to be pretty quiet today, but I'm here in spirit. Too many things going on around the house, but the TVs are tuned in and the lucky gear is on. - Jim Storer

@Jim - same here, nice to actually be able to watch a game with the kids - enjoy - Adam Cohen

Pedroia!!! - Adam Cohen

Amani's not quite into sitting down and watching with me. He's bouncing around playing with some of the gifts from his 3rd birthday party yesterday. Hopefully he'll be ready next year! - Bryan Person

Martinez! - Bryan Person

Happy birthday Amani - hoping the sox can give him a nice belated gift today. - Adam Cohen

@Adam: Thanks! Would actually be an early birthday gift. His actual birthday is this coming Thursday. - Bryan Person

@Bryan In that case I hope the gift is a trip to the ALCS by then ;) - Adam Cohen

Was just about to say that Buccholz was looking more in control ... wow, what a blast by Morales. Thankfully, nobody on base. - Bryan Person

Drew! - Adam Cohen

Interesting that the offensive output goes up when our verbal output goes down. I'm taking it as a hint from the baseball gods. - Kyle

The silence doesn't appear to be working at the moment, so piping in. Nice work Buchholz (and Francona for pulling him now). - Adam Cohen

Bases loaded and none out as Bar comes. A bit of a nerve-racking moment. - Bryan Person

Nice: 5-4-3! - Bryan Person

Great work by Bard! Giving up one there isn't bad. Now let's get a few insurance runs. - Bryan Person

Pedroia threw a nice strike there to Youk. - Adam Cohen

Perhaps it's just my silence? - Kyle

I love you Bard. - Kyle

What a job by the youngsta! - Bryan Person

That's the second time Buck has talked about the dramatic playoff comebacks by the Red Sox without mentioning 2007 ALCS (Cleveland led the series, 3-1). C'mon, Buck! - Bryan Person

RT: @cbbucknor c.b. feels ya, torii. i mean, that's kinda what you get for having a girls name. - Adam Cohen

Come On Paps! - Kyle

Should have stayed silent, Flaherty. - Bryan Person

I know! What is WRONG with me? - Kyle

At least we have figured out I'm the problem. - Kyle

Nice pick! - Adam Cohen

I was picked off first base once in Babe Ruth. Some 17-18 years later, I still maintain I was safe. - Bryan Person

On one of the slow-mo replays, I think the ump might have missed that call, too. But no complaints this time. - Bryan Person

Looks like Haslam is at the amusement park. - Bryan Person

Let's go Papi, you're so due. - Adam Cohen

Lowell - that's how you spell insurance! - Bryan Person

That fan should be kicked out of Fenway and never let back...stupid. - Kyle

He should be banned for life. - Adam Cohen

In church today our pastor showed the photo of that Cubs fan who interfered with Moises Alou in the NLCS in 2003. Stupid. - Bryan Person

Sounds like a timely sermon! - Kyle

And .......... - Bryan Person

Standing up... - Adam Cohen

Wrong move, Adam :) - Bryan Person

I blame Kyle. Step away from the laptop. Just step away.... - Adam Cohen

This is killing me ... - Bryan Person

Don't like that grin by Abreu. - Bryan Person

Papelbon vs. Guerrero for all the marbles. Can't believe it. - Bryan Person

Killing me. Can't believe this. - Adam Cohen

Stunned. - Bryan Person

Is there anyone left to hit for Gonzalez, who's due up to start the inning? - Bryan Person

Lowrie or Varitek, I guess. Just stick with Gonzalez. - Bryan Person

Believe! - Kyle

I have hope! Fuentes can be erratic. - Bryan Person

Paps seemed to lose his focus after Gonzalez tried to pinch Abreau at second. Just a thought. - Kyle

Sox lost to a much better team. Good luck to the Angels. - Kyle

Wow. - Bryan Person

Agreed, Kyle. Still a tough way to go out. - Bryan Person

Shocked. Angels are a tough, small-ball team. - Adam Cohen

It's been fun, fellas. Sorry it had to end this way, but ready to cheer on the Angels if they come face-to-face with the Empire. - Bryan Person

Agreed, of all the teams I feel like I could get behind the Angels easily against the MFY. - Adam Cohen

Flurgh flarn flibbin brobdingblengem! That's my final word on the topic - Doug Haslam
