Power Pros Forum

Now THAT is how you get out of a jam. Way to go Kaz.

Have any of you guys notice this, but...

I go on MLB.com to see how to Red Sox games are going/hoping that they lose. In the 9th, in a save situation, I noticed that Papelbon really likes to load the bases with like no outs and strikes out the side or get out of the jam. Does he like to pitch under alot of pressure? He seems to pitch well with pressure and not as well with no pressure. Like yesterday, it was bases loaded in the 8th with no outs and Papelbon got the 2 inning save.

Papelbon came IN with the bases load in the 8th and got out of trouble because Okajima couldn't get anyone out

I didn't say he loaded the bases yesterday...

ohh I thought you meant you looked yesterday. I know what you mean though, he works alot better with alot of pressure for some reason. He walks alot of guys too, he's walked like 20 more than he did all of last year

When Papelbon comes in in the ninth, just send the first three batters to the bases and let him strike out the side.

A few months ago, I think he loaded the bases against the yankees with 1 out and struck out the next 2 batters, including Teixiera I think.

Uggh. The Sox fans at my school are annoying. They give the Cubs fans loads of F***ing crap and stuff like that. I lectured one kid and said " Why can't you respect us. We play 6 times a year against each other. I watch the Sox-Yankees games and Sox-Twins games because I hate the Yanks and Twins. I watched Buehrle's Perfect game, and applauded him. However wins the season series against each other can smack talk. I'm not a smacktalker, unless you start BSing me with a bunch of crap that isn't true. If you make the playoffs, I'll watch you. If we make the playoffs, you watch us. If neither make the playoffs, we truce. Got it?"

Sorry, I feel better

It's the exact same at my school. I just spit in their face and rub it in when the cubs win. I know I should ignore them, but arguing is fun!

I live in California, so I get a load of crap from the Dodgers and Angels fans...

As of now, I am countering all jinxes against Chad Billingsley.

Same with me and Yankees fans. Except in my school, kids don't really watch baseball. They just say "Oh yeah I am a Yankees fan" and they cant name 10 players

I ran into someone wearing a Yankees hat and they weren't able to name the sport that the Yankees played.

The AL East is looking great. As a Red Sox fan, I hope they win but the damn Yanks are giving them a run for their money.

as long as we make it eveything will be fine but if we play the yankees in the ALCS, I want to crush them
