Hardly choking coming back from 3-1 down to almost take the series, 2004 ALCS, now THATS choking!

Oh well we gave it a good go

Just means i wont be a zombie for the next week having 2 hours sleep a night

Add last nights result to the superbowl result and Boston seems to be losing the knack of winning the big games

Ssssssh!

sshhhhh

Who backed Tampa to win the world series at 200/1 then

should be a good WS not too bothered who wins to be honest aslong as it goes the distance.

Good odds that.

D'ya think?

Great final game the other night. The at bat between Garza v Pedroia in the 7th or whenever it was, was brilliant. Shows cricket up for the dull spectacle it is.

Phiiles win game 1 Rays win game 2,this tie is lookin like its going all the way

Come on the Phillies!

I concur!

Philly now lead the series 3-1,just 1 more win needed to bring a championship to Philly for the 1st time in 25 years.With Hamels pitching tonight I can't see anything other than a world series title for the Phillies in the next 24 hours.

It's a shame the rays won't win, would have been a great success for the small market teams.

You would.

I am convinced had we met anywhere other than Knowsley Road you wouldn't be a Saints fan just to me off

Free Agency begins tomorrow, the Dodgers offer to Manny has been made.

Burnett's as good as gone from the Jays team. I'm curious to see who we'll go after to replace him. Our starting roster is painfully thin for 2009, with Marcum already gone for the season and McGowan not back til May.

Zaun is also as good as gone.

Current rumours are that we're sniffing around Giambi (hope not) and Furcal (would be a good signing).

Heard JP is looking at Ben Sheets as a possible free agent too

Boston going for small unknown players

Mark Teixeira
AJ Burnett
Derek Lowe

also sorry Mr Varitek but your time is up.

Also Swisher has been traded to the Yankees for 3 players, thats the end for Giambi then

I hope you first comment was sarcastic.

Look's like we're flexing our muscles like we used tom if we sign CC, Burnett and Manny it would make us clear favourites.

Clear favourites would be an understatement, feel sorry for Giradi then though, trying to control them egos. Steinbrenner surely couldnt stretch to affording all of them

And yess i was being sarcastic, traded Crisp to the Royals for Ramirez today, good move by Francona and Epstein, looks like Ellsbury is CF and thats the right choice.

Giambi
Mussina
Petitte
Abreu
Pudge

All coming off the books, money to spend.

Burnett is not a good fit for the Yankees. He's too much of a joker for starters. Plus he will react very badly to being booed, which is pretty much inevitable if you play in New York. It'll all end in tears.

K-rod to sign with the Mets on wednesday pending a physical, big pick up for them with Wagner out for the year.

CC also practically a Yankee now, good luck to him. Major step up from the Brewers to New Yankee Stadium.

Teixeira, Manny and Burnett still to sign deals.

Jays having talks with Furcal's agent apparently. That would put Johnny Mac back to 3rd choice SS



Personally, I'd rather we looked to shift Overbay, with Giambi being a possibility if we can afford him. We could really do with a slugger.

They're also looking at Pavano.

Tampa Bay trade Edwin Jackson to the Detroit Tigers for Matt Joyce
