Today’s Games:
Boston 130 300 000 – 7 9 1 WP- Rudolph
Giants 000 001 000 – 1 6 4 LP- Tesreau
Boston 222 010 00 – 7 13 1 P- Strand, Crutcher
Giants 000 034 00 – 7 11 2 P- Matthewson, O’Toole, Marquard
What loomed as a huge series not long ago is now a victory lap.
The first six games of the Series are scheduled now that the A’s have clinched. Connie Mack won the coin toss, so game one is on October 9 at Philadelphia and game 2 the following day. Games 3 and 4 are in Boston on the 12th and 13th. Game 5 in Philly on the 14th, game 6 in Boston on the 15th.
The umpires are Klem and Byron from the NL and Dineen and Hildebrand from the AL. The top seats in both cities are $5 boxes. What do they have for $5 at this year’s Series? Utter contempt.

I don’t think it will come to that, ububba. Poor Bama.
September 30th, 2006 at 5:54 pmPoor Bama? Eh, I’ll wait til after the game….
September 30th, 2006 at 5:59 pmWell, you know what they say, if you’re not a Gator… something about Gator Bait, I think…
September 30th, 2006 at 6:09 pmRamblin Wreck!
September 30th, 2006 at 6:15 pmThere are so many walls in this place I can hit with my head…
September 30th, 2006 at 6:23 pmHey bama fans, I thought JPW was gonna win the Heisman? Ha Ha.
September 30th, 2006 at 6:27 pmDo not taunt the man with the “Delete” button, Chief.
September 30th, 2006 at 6:33 pmWhy are mccann, diaz and laroche batting 6-7-8? Why is laroche batting 8?
September 30th, 2006 at 6:54 pmLefty starter… I’m all for platoon arrangements when the righthanded guys are any good.
September 30th, 2006 at 7:01 pmBrian Jordan just got an at-bat.
September 30th, 2006 at 7:37 pmIf you want to call it that.
September 30th, 2006 at 7:38 pmHey Mac, that was a good game. It was a pretty well played game, but just a few mistakes did Alabama in. Now to through the gauntlet: LSU, Auburn, then Georgia. Atleast we get a gimme in the week after Georgia with Vanderbilt, right Stu?
September 30th, 2006 at 7:47 pmCormier was not bad even though he allowed 8 hits. I think he did his best. You know he is a groundballer and generally has allowed lots of single or whatever in every game. Most important thing is his position is a reliver in this organization.
September 30th, 2006 at 7:57 pmHey, my entertainer Rochey
September 30th, 2006 at 8:17 pmUgh. Beeyoutifull defense in the 9th.
September 30th, 2006 at 8:37 pmYou make me foolish, Wickman
September 30th, 2006 at 8:41 pmDraby is back, The game was stolen by the Refs, that KB out of bounds call was horrifically wrong. The Pass interference, was non-existant, but when the TE was mugged, nothing happened, I also liked the no call on the block in the back during the INT return.
Another, how di ya’ll Gators get a 26-27 second play clock?
Anyway, Bama Basketball LETS GO RONALD! I WANNA SEE A WINNER!
September 30th, 2006 at 9:04 pmI hope Wickman gets to pitch tomorrow, to end the season on a high note. It doesn’t look like it was his fault, but he was on the mound when it happened, and I would like that memory to be deleted. It looks like it will come down to Smoltz, after all. I’m looking forward to tomorrow…
September 30th, 2006 at 9:06 pmFire Lary Coker!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
September 30th, 2006 at 9:11 pmTo come so close… that stinks.
Let’s get ‘em tomorrow! We’ve failed at the division title. We’ve failed at the Wild Card. We’ve failed at a .500 record. Let’s not fail at being spoilers too. This after 14 straight seasons of being on top…
September 30th, 2006 at 9:12 pmHave you guys seen the new Weird Al music video?? It’s off da hook.
