Lord of the Red Sox 12, A Red Sox Day

So the Sox had won homefield throughout the playoffs, and this was the last post of the regular season. This was more of a kickoff posting for the playoffs and a farewell to the other members of the sandbox. So I said to heck with the tiny pics. After this game the Sons of Sam Horn guys decided they were keeping the sandbox open for the playoffs.

Well gang, it has been a blast. This is the last game thread of the regular season for the Lurkers.

This game is....how can I say this...meaningless. We have gotten everything we asked for out of the regular season from the Red Sox. Best record, homefield throughout, AL victory in the All-Star game. On top of that everyone seems to be getting hot at the same time. Things look really good.

Not much to post about for this game, except maybe some of your favorite memories from the regular season.

I have enjoyed making my "Lord of the Red Sox" mojo posts, and I apologize to those with Dial-up. I agree with most of you that yesterdays was the best one, and impossible to beat. I wish we could continue through the playoffs...but it is what it is. So without further delay...

"The Lord of the Red Sox" mojo presents...

"A Red Sox Day!"

Scene: Red Sox Dugout, just before the start of game 1 of the ALDS



Schilling: Red Sox Nation prepare for battle! Beckett. You get the ball in game one. DiceK, You take Game Two. I'll take game three in Anaheim. The rest of you, Defense will rule the playoffs! Arise! Arise, Players of Boston! Opposing players shall be shaken, bats shall be splintered! A Pitching day... a Red Sox day... ere the sun rises!



[Schilling runs past the players, hitting their gloves with his fist as he goes]
Schilling: Play now!... Play now!... Play! Play to Victory and the World Series!





[Schilling puts on his ballcap and turns to face the Angels dugout]
Schilling: Win!
Red Sox: [echoing] Win!




Schilling: Win!
Red Sox: [echoing] Win!




Schilling: WIN!
Red Sox: WIN!
(Sox take the field for game 1 of the ALDS, with the support of all of Red Sox Nation)
