ALDS: Red Sox Sweep Angels 3-0

[Omar]

This should be an interesting series. Great aces to start things off.

 

Boston Red Sox Vs. John Lackey (Righty, 3.01 ERA and a 1.210 WHIP through 224.0 IP in the regular season)

Lackey struggles at Fenway.

Lackey struggles at Fenway.

 

Yep. His worst ERA in an AL park.

It's a pretty big deal out here and a major concern.

 

Go Angels!

[anabiono]

red sox are nasty at fenway...bring out the brooms here folks

[Flames24Rulz]

Go Angels!

[CubmanPi]

I will forever hate Josh Beckett.

[David]

How are both this and the other ALDS game on at the same time and the same network?

[David]

I didn't figure TBS would do different broadcasts regionally, but I guess so.

[David]

Nevermind.. Different days. Can we get that in the game thread titles?

[CubsBears29]

I was rooting for a Cubs/Red Sox WS, but since the Red Sox won the WS a couple years back and have been good ever since... loses the appeal it would have had, had it happened back in '03.

 

As long as the Cubs reach the WS, I don't care at this point who the opponent will be; although a Cubs/RS or Cubs/NYY WS would be "off the charts" in terms of ratings for FOX.

There ya go.

[E.J.]

Hooray for TBS HD.

There ya go.

 

No room.

Nope. Could we possibly extend the character limit for Game Thread titles?

[Guest]

It fits for me, both in Premium and Regular. It doesn't for you guys?

Looks fine to me.

[Omar]

I meant allowing more characters into the titles. Right now the limit is 60. It should be 70-79.

Is it 60? It gets less if there are special characters (including @ and &).

[Omar]

(Test)

 

Trying to fit 60 @s in the subject of this message.

 

Edit: Nope. Close enough to 60. Looks like the characters don't matter.

[chuckywang]

Who farted on Garrett Anderson's face?

[Omar]

Steve Stone! YES!

[Guest]

Lackey struggling big time.

[Roast]

Whoever the non-steve stone announcer is, is really really annoying.
