Thurman's Helmet

This has the makings of a Roy Hobbs-like performance, he gets us through on guile and determination and then may not be of any use to us IF we reach the World Series.

Schilling is cruising. How long can he keep it up?

How pissed would you be if you were a Cardinals fan and had tickets to tomorrow's game knowing it could be bumped from 8 to 4 if the Sox win tonight?

You cant give the Yankees extra outs like that.

There's no need to be thumping chests and rubbing Yankee fans' noses in ANYTHING right now. its only the 5th inning and this game is FAR from over. Schilling needs to sack up some more here and get us deeper into this game.

Joe Torre said that Olerud was out for the rest of this series.

Why even bother having resolutions if you're not going to enforce them then?

I dont remember anyone saying he was the Best QB EVER. I will maintain that he is the best QB in the NFL right now. 10 years from now, he'll be listed in the Top 10 possibly Top 5 in all time greats. There's more to being a great QB than putting up purty stats in shootout games.

So you're saying that we should have maintained a REACTIONARY position regarding National Defense even after 9/11?

I would think the NETWORK would want to stretch the series out to make it watchable. They couldnt be happier with whats happened. And no one gets their scrote scrubbed harder than Derek Jeter by Tim McCarver.

If thats all he did to win 2 Super Bowls, why doesnt everyone do it and more importantly why then couldnt anyone stop it? Hopefully other teams are like you and keep chalking the Pats success to luck or what not. Their complacency will keep them from ever improving.

My prediction? Pain.............

I guess its time for them to appease further.

9/11 was planned under Clinton's watch simply because the terrorists were emboldend by the US' lack of serious response to prior attacks and the "cutting and running" we were doing a la Somalia under difficult conditions. They felt that we didnt have the stomach for this kind of fight and felt they could get away with something like 9/11. They obviously underestimated Bush's resolve over this and yet they are getting the exact response they hoped for under the left who are doing everything they can to undermine the guy who's trying to protect them from these scumbags. But Kerry has a plan.

Its a madhouse there now. Good times....

No Todd Heap, no Jamal Lewis. Bills D can focus on disrupting Kyle Boller. I think the Bills can definately beat the Ravens this week. The O-Line MUST protect Drew however.

I can hope cant I? I'm not sure I can take any more of these nailbiters.

It will be interesting to see if this rain continues throughout the day. Both teams' pitching staffs could use a day off. If they do play, Schilling had better be able to give us 8 great innings. We've had a Yankee blowout win We've had a Yankee close game win We've had a Red Sox close game win What are we missing? A Red Sox blowout win, they're due.

As far as I'm concerned, my team is already dead and buried. They are playing with house money right now. Whereas if the Yankees go on to lose, it will be the single greatest choke job in all of professional sports. You tell me which would be worse?

I agree, Yankees would have won this if it was in NY. But it wasnt. Sox still are fighting the odds AND a great team. Both bullpens are shot for tomorrow. Should be very interesting to see if they even get the game in. Looks like rain in the forecast. Who does that help more? By the way, NICE win for Houston tonight. Up 3-2 on St. Louis with momentum clearly in their favor.

Schilling needs to nut up and pitch no matter the consequences. I dont care if it results in him missing all of next season as long as he wins tomorrow. We may never get this close again. Get to Game 7 and ANYTHING can happen.

Schilling needs to have a huge game tomorrow, the bullpen is SHOT. I cant imagine Foulke, Timlin OR Embree pitching. That said, I cant see Rivera, Gordon or Loaiza pitching tomorrow either. Possibly even Sturtze. I pray to god that Schilling is healthy enough and can give us a complete game or something near to that. Yankee butts are tightening up as we speak. They did NOT want this whatsoever. This team was dead and buried after Game 3.

Anyone else nearing cardiac arrest?

Passed ball #3!!! Jesus H.

I think the Cards-Stros game will end before this one does. Come on Wake, one more strike.
