Warning!! Danger!! Annual Off-topic Baseball Thread '07!! Beware!!

[ChuckElias]

Not sure if "enjoy" is the right word, but it was a terrific game. Once Okijima got out of the 6th (stranding 2 guys), I was pretty confident that the Sox would win. He's been incredible all year and I'm really happy for him that he is getting to shine in the postseason. Papelbon was terrific, too. Giving up a shot back through the middle (b/c he didn't get his fastball up enough where Tek wanted it), but then picking Holliday off (what a HUUUUUUUGE mistake ). Holliday had 4 hits on the night, but the whole rest of the Rockies team only had 1 hit.

I have to say that I'm feeling good, but the Rockies still make me a little nervous, going back to Denver. Dice-K and Lester. . .

9 down. . .

Yea, wasn't that something? I really enjoyed seeing that play again and again.

Carrie Underwood's falsetto in the National Anthem made my spine tingle.
I think the Rockies should get rid of those black shirts and vests.

I didn't know that. Sorta like the plate ump gets to pick a color ?

Always wondered how that was determined with half a dozen MLB colors nowadays.

Any idea why (almost) no one wears the plate coat anymore?

A couple insurance runs late and the Sox win again. Ellsbury and Pedroia each get 3 hits. I think they said it's the first time two rookies had 3 hits in the same World Series game. Bodes well for tomorrow and next season, as well. 10 down, 1 to go.

Someone is buying and selling them, Mark. Not hard to find.
The folks on the baseball forum talk about 'em
You can get the Gerry Davis coat for ~$100.00/lb.

I could. However, since I don't ump baseball, I'd look a bit weird walking down the street wearing one, especially if I had numbers sewn onto it.
