The Times, They Are A-Changin'
What they're saying, blogwise, about Tampa Bay's 3-1 win over Boston in Game 7 of the American League Championship Series ...
• More Cowbell (UGH!). Boy oh boy is it going to be a long winter for yours truly. As if watching your team lose in Game 7 of the ALCS isn’t bad enough, how about living in the area of the team that knocked off your club? If you think that kinda sucks, you’d be dead on. And if that isn’t bad enough, what about having to shave an idiotic landing strip into your skull because of a bet you lost to a fellow writer/fan of the other team? [Bugs And Cranks] More »

It ... Is ... ALIVE
What they're saying out there about Boston's come-from-behind 8-7 win over Tampa Bay in Game 5 of the American League Championship Series on Thursday ...
• I Left Early. JUST KIDDING! WOOHOOOO! I will post a really cool video I shot at Fenway Park here tonight before I go to bed. [UPDATE: Here it is:]. On the way home I heard a replay of Castiglione's call — incredible. You gotta hear it. Everyone who left early tonight—you'll never learn at this point! Please don't come back! Your "let's go Bruins" chants aren't funny, original, or appreciated by any real Red Sox fans. [Red Sox Fan From Pinstripe Territory]

Ah, F&%# It, Gimme A Beer
Hey, if this guy can't spur the Red Sox on to victory, no one can. What they're saying on the intertubes about Tampa Bay's 13-4 victory over Boston in Game 4 of the American League Championship Series ...
• ALCS Game 4: Postgame Thread. Did you watch game four? Are you unhappy about it? Ask your doctor if
Prozacthis thread is right for you. Double-blind clinical studies have shown that concentrated randomness dulls the effect of postseason loss.Game recap, in Haiku form:
He sets and he throws —
A knuckleball, high and flat;
Another home run. -

Tampa Bay Fans; Not Especially Coordinated
So what are the odds that the only person wearing a Rays jersey in the Monster seats at Fenway would end up catching Evan Longoria's home run ball in the third inning on Monday? Here's Michael Aguis, shown here trying to, I don't know, punch the ball? Anyway he ended up with it after his even goofier friend had it bounce out of his leaden grasp. The final coincidence? Aguis was wearing a Longoria jersey.

Cleveland, You Have A Lot Of 'Splainin' To Do
What they're saying in parents' basements everywhere about Boston's 11-2 win over Cleveland in the deciding game of the American League Championship Series ...• With All Due Respect to Ryan Garko, Champagne Tastes Much Sweeter At Home. Of all the things I'll miss about the ALCS broadcast, one has got to be the frequent shots of Indians GM Mark Shapiro and his apparently Paxil-addicted trophy wife (pictured above). Every time the cameras caught these two, they were frozen in the exact same poses — Shapiro furrowing his brow and reflecting on how he's gonna explain this latest collapse, and the missus looking glassy-eyed at nothing in particular, her thoughts likely shifting between, "If we lose, will we have to sell the hovercraft?" and "Man, do I like vanilla."

J.D. Is No Longer A Scrub

He's Josh Beckett And You're Not
What they're saying this fine morning about Boston's 7-1 win over Cleveland in the American League Championship Series ...• Shippin' Up To Boston. Oh, and nice play by the Injuns to bring a former Beckett ladypal to sing at the game. As attempts to get in a guy's head, rolling out the ex is a pretty shrewd move. But it seems to have back-fired big-time. In fact, the extra shot of testosterone may have been just what The Commander needed to finish off the Indians. Because, as everyone knows, Josh Beckett is fueled by testosterone, Coors Light, and the blood of his victims. [Surviving Grady] More »

Red Sox Don't Have The Required 15 Pieces Of Flair
What they're saying out there in "the creative underclass" about Cleveland's 3-1 lead over Boston in the American League Championship Series ...• How We Roll [Promoted Diary. Yeah. That's Right.]. Look guys, we're down three in an ALCS. So what?! This is how we roll. You know, to make it interesting and stuff. Let the Rockies have their sweep. BOOOOORRRRRRINNNGGG. No, it's like the Mighty Casey...you spit on a few pitches before you send one out of the park. Gives the fans something to chew on. Anyone can come back from a game down, but three? That takes brass balls. Brass Balls are a major export for our region so I'm not really worried. We here in Red Sox Nation have a flair for the dramatic. And not the hot-pink purse with black pumps type of flair no, no, no. We're talking trip, fall, and accidentally knock over the Empire State Building-type flair for the dramatic. So now comes the fun part. The winning. THIS is how we roll. [Over The Monster] More »
