Back to back to back!! [Red Sox open thread]

By

Wow.  Youkilis, Ortiz, and Ramirez.  What was looking like a 7-0 blowout is suddenly a 7-3 game [update: not so much. *sigh*].  Apparently that’s the first time any team has hit 3 home runs in a row in LCS play.

  1. He’s suddenly become a candidate second to none:

    Baseball’s American League Championship Series between the Boston Red Sox and the Cleveland Indians entered the realm of presidential politics Wednesday when presidential hopeful and Red Sox fan Chris Dodd announced a contest for tickets to Game 6 of the series at Boston’s Fenway Park.

    “There’s nothing more American than baseball, and it doesn’t get much better than sitting at Fenway Park to watch the Red Sox in the playoffs,” Dodd said in a statement released by his campaign. “It’s been a long three years since the Sox won the World Series in 2004, but the team is on the winning path once again. My campaign is about getting results, and I’m confident the Red Sox are as well. But they can’t do it alone, nor can I, so I am hoping for some help by my side when I cheer them to victory.”

    The campaign said that if the Red Sox win the series before Game 6, the winning entrant would attend Game 2 of the World Series at Fenway Park. If the Indians get the best of the Red Sox, the campaign said the winning entrant would get to spend the day on the campaign trail with Dodd in either Iowa or New Hampshire.

    Pretty tough consolation prize though, frankly.

    GO SOX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  4. but their chances are better than they were coming back against the Yankees in 2004. The Sox can definitely win three in a row against Cleveland, but it will be tough.

  5. …I just had to come on here and say one thing.

    • If we took a holiday
      Took some time to celebrate
      Just one day out of life
      It would be, it would be so nice

      Everybody spread the word
      We’re gonna have a celebration
      All across the world
      In every nation
      It’s time for the good times
      Forget about the bad times, oh yeah
      One day to come together
      To release the pressure
      We need a holiday

      You can turn this world around
      And bring back all of those happy days
      Put your troubles down
      It’s time to celebrate
      Let love shine
      And we will find
      A way to come together
      And make things better
      We need a holiday

      Holiday Celebrate
