I am a yankees fan, being a new york native and I naturally hate the red-sox and their incredibly bitter fans. Yankee fans are much more chill than red-sox fans, an espn sports-writer, who is a red-sox fan wore the opposite teams jersey to each stadium and got much more flack from the red-sox fans then from the yankee fans. The red-sox are a bush-league organization, their players arent held to any level of class. They say we overpay, we don't. The sox are the ones who pay Manny Ramirez, who fucking dogs it every game and behaves like he generally doesn't care more money than any yankee makes. Plus, the facial hair, red-neck attitude, dip and chewing tobacco and complete **** that your players look like is just annoying. They look like a bunch of hicks, well they are a bunch of hicks. I was rooting more for the cubs than the yankees this year, I feel bad for the cubs losing. They have so many dedicated fans, yet they lose to a team that cant sell-out 1/5 of it's home stadium for regular season games (marlins). The Marlins will sell out the WS though, only because yankee or red-sox fans will gladly make the trip down there.

I don't think even the Red Sox thought they had a chance of winning game 6 in NY Incredibly, now they even seem to have the momentum going into game 7 ?!
Their offense has (hopefully) awaken from their slumber. If they continue to hit tonight, and we get a strong performance from Pedro ......... I hesitate to even say it
BTW, I think Pedro behaved like an immature spoiled twerp in game 3 (was it 3?) last Saturday, no question. I even think it would have been appropriate for Zim to have bitch-slapped him to the ground, rather than vice versa.
But last night, around the 4th inning, the public announcer had to request the NY fans STOP shouting obscenities during the game ?!?!?! Where or when has that ever happened before?
I'm a fair weather Red Sox fan, I haven't watched so much as 1 regular season game. But tonight's game should really be great. And I'd love to see Martinez/Wakefield shut down NY, and stuff it down the NY fan's throats. They've earned it.

Hey, give credit where credit is due......
Grady White didn't lose the game by keeping Pedro in, although he'll lose his job for it. Had Pedro shut down the Yankees and won, he'd be hailed this morning for his genius. Hindsight is 20/20 isn't it?
Tim Wakefield didn't lose the game by throwing a knuckle-ball that didn't knuckle, to Boone in the 11th.
Messina & Rivera were OUTSTANDING in relief, BRILLIANT absolutely untouchable. That's where the game was won. It's not even that the Sox offense "choked" because they were shelling the Rocket early on.
You can't give a great team like the Yankees inning after inning with no production of runs, eventually they're going to put people on base and score. And both teams made some jaw dropping defensive plays.
Yet somehow, "the curse" seems to be alive and well.

A local (Boston) talk show personality, Mike Barnicle, a lifetime Red Sox fan, went to game 7 last night in the Bronx. He brought 2 of his kids, ages 11 & 14. A traumatic night for any Red Sox fan, no question. A lot of jabbering between Red Sox and Yankees fans, that's to be expected.
But at the end of the game, with his 11 year old in tears, a 35 (roughly) year old Yankees fan walks up to the kid, REMOVES the kid's "lucky" Red Sox cap and says "You won't be needing THAT any more, kid", and walks away with it.
You know, after September 11th, The world was inspired by New Yorkers because of their seemingly indominitible spirit, and the amazing way they came together in the face of such a horrible attack.
And then you get assholes like the guy with Barnicle's kid.
On any given Winter day, you get THOUSANDS of people on their way to work in Manhattan ignoring destitute souls lying in the street freezing to death in their own piss. When I go into the city, when I give a buck to one of these unfortunates, I'm thought of as "naive", and obviously I'm a sucker who doesn't know better, and OBVIOUSLY, I'm not "from around here".
It's no small irony that New Yorkers then, are thought to be both the best and the worst this country has to offer, at the same time.
How is it you won't give someone the sweat off your balls unless they've had a limb blown off in a terrorist attack?
Congrats to the Yankees, job well done.
New York sports fans, it was great watching the Patriots kick the shite out of your Giants, not just for the delight of competition as it is with most teams, but just because you're YOU.
Only 4 more months to the "next" season for the Red Sox.........
Go Pats....
Go Sox......
LOL! Too funny. You are right PC1 that was an incredible series unfortunately the outcome wasn't what I had hoped for but there is always next year. Did you see Boone after the game he was speechless. I'm sure I would have been too.Originally posted by PC1

I hear ya on the Jersey barrier, still I've learned that what goes around comes around, so I don't wish anything bad on anyone..... except maybe Duwayne Barker who used to kick the snot out of me in 4th grade, but I won't go there
What was so heartbreaking was that midway through the game, the Red Sox seemed to have everything well under control. Somehow they manage to produce the MAXIMUM amount of heartbreak in the end. It's the damndest thing, and can only be explained in a metaphysical sense....... i.e. "the curse".

I am proud of the way the Sox played that whole series (except the game 3 incident thank god I almost went to that game) and especially game 7. I think they all did their jobs well. Who knows maybe next year will be their year. It has to happen sometime right?!?
