That game was just outrageous. The announcers were getting a little punchy towards the end there, like they do with massive extra-inning games.

Oh, and go Clemens! Woot!

Final score: 19-8 [teen]

hmm all those smug red sox fans don't seem to be too vocal right now. maybe they're all still waiting for the "T" to be useful and actually move people. or they're online seeing if the Celtics have any potential this year.

I'm a diehard Red Sox fan, and I'll be the first to admit that this ALCS has been a joke! My boys folded like a cheap deck of cards! They looked pathetic out there. You know, I (in my heart of hearts) never fully expected them to charge on through and make it to the World Series, though it sure as hell would have been nice for them to at least put up a fight! I mean, this has got to be at the bottom of the barrel as far as the rivalry goes. I would have loved for it to go to game 7, in extra innings, like last year. That was a hell of a series, no matter how you slice it! Even though it's gotta be sweet for Yankees fans to revel in the impending sweep (come on, I'm a huge Sox fan, but who are we kidding? I predict a meltdown of epic preportions on the part of Lowe tomorrow! They guy's got problems!) Anyway, I can't believe you Yankees fans wouldn't have hoped for a more interesting, nail biting, thrilling series. I hope this walk in the park comes back to bite you in the World Series...I can hope for something, can't I?!?!?
So yeah, it was pretty embarassing, but I'll still proudly sport my Sox hat (though I think I'll give it a bit before I venture back out in the City w/ it!) But I'm sure as hell not going to jump on the Yankees bandwagon. It's too frickin easy to be a Yankees fan. I'll wait my boys out. They'll be back again. Maybe not next year, but I'll still be cheering them on (and bitching at them when the screw up

come the spring. (And, I'm willing to bet Pedro will be signing his soul over to his daddy in the off season. Too bad they'll make him cut his jherri curl and won't embrace his goofy bouncing around in the dugout!)...sigh...What can you do?
Anyway, enough of my mindless rambling, which I'm sure is pretty nonsensical (it being 2:30 and all!) Thanks for the fun season boys (all except this last week...that pretty much sucked!)

P.S. Yeah, the T sucks...ROYALLY!

You can go to NYC in a Boston hat and be okay. When I was in the theater district on Wednesday, I saw Curt Schilling, Johnny Damon, and some other Sox players exiting a building, with lots of police officers around to protect them. A small crowd was gathered around, and there were a lot of Sox fans there. And the players got cheered. Though considering that Schilling had totally blown his start the night before, that might have been partly sarcastic. (He didn't look too happy.)

Sure, winning 19-8 on October 16th, on the one year anniversary of Aaron Boone's walk off HR in Game 7 of the 2003 ALCS, is not nailbiting, but it sure is sweet.

it's not like the New Yorkers have any other decent sports teams to get behind. I personally find nothing wrong with being a fair-weather fan, especially with sports where one has only a passing interest during the year, and a moderate interest during playoffs. I spend so little time following baseball, you bet your ass I'm gonna take advantage of the home team being great! Might as well feel fulfilled and celebratory watching the Yankees a few times a year. Sure beats being frustrated and bitter like when I was an avid fan of the NBA's Phoenix Suns from 1993-1998.

Try being a Nets fan in the 90s. I'm kind of giving up on them now, even if they still have Kidd. They're moving to Brooklyn, the bastards, and baseball is a better sport anyway.

I share your woes, many of the Nets having swapped back and forth with the Suns. I've even heard chatter that Jersey is trying to woo the Suns and the Heat to possibly move to NJ in place of the Brooklyn Nets.

whew! i was so glad to see the yanks slip through that squeaker last night. i know, i know, the score says it was a blowout. but please, those who still feel the wrath of the bambino were never more than a few swings away from getting right back in it. it was javier vasquez on the mound for goodness sakes. hey, i even said that with a straight face!

this is why joe torre makes the big bucks. he was tempted, lord was he tempted, to free esteban louiza from the phatom zone where he's hangning with general zod and place him back on the mound. the baseball gods hung the tantalizing possibility of tanyon's last outing being a fluke before joe's eyes as vasquez put himself in bad situation after bad situation. but ol' joe was resolute. he was also at least 3 runs ahead most of the time. the same supernatural force that inhabited john lieber the other night came down and at least stood near vasquez. to his credit, joe saw that ghost and was content to let it ride.

as far as the red sox and their nation, i look at this as simply something to give caple and bill simmons more material for hi-larity on the pages of espn.com, and that can only be good. on the other hand, the clean cut forces of outrageous cash are at the precipice of sweeping the hairy "idiots." strangely i thought i might feel some sympathy. instead i merely am looking for a nice broom.

YANKEES vs. RED SOX?

Hmmm... tough choice.

I think the YANKEES score is superior, although no real hits have emerged. RED SOX have stunning cheoreography and that splendid First Act Finale. Both opened at about the same time in April, so neither show has a longer run.

I would love to see Kristen Chenoworth tackle those difficult songs in YANKEES and Joel Grey have some fun with that dynamite RED SOX choreography.

NEITHER show is better; each has its own pros and cons. I've seen both, but only because I couldn't get tickets to WICKED.

One point of inerest: YANKEES seems to play much better on Broadway, but RED SOX does better with out of town audiences.

I'm a Mets fan, so I will admit to not rooting for the Red Sox, but for the Yankees to loose.

I've been a Red Sox fan for a few years, but I must say that the Yanks crushed them during the ALCS. I was so confident that the Sox would have a chance at the World Series, but apparently not. I'm disappointed that they're not doing so well, but it seems that they always choke when it comes to playing the Yanks in the ALCS.

*sigh* There's always next year.

Hey hey, I am STILL a vocal Sox fan no matter how sucky they do. I love the Sox through regular and post season. And I agree with everything mabel said. I don't know what happened to my darling Red Sox this ALCS, but I'm hoping that they become one of.. what is it, three? Yes, I believe three teams to come back from being down 3-0. Unlikely, since freaking Lowe is pitching tonight, but maybe the Bambino is in a good mood. We can hope. I thought perhaps there was a glimmer of hope last night, but, sadly, nothing. Our pitching was terrible and the hitting just got progressively worse. Like every other Red Sox fan out there, I will be saying "There's always next year.."

What is Broadway? A street? Some say it's a street. Some say it is the best street in the world. Others think its terrible. That's the beauty of it, it's terribly beautiful. Some hate it and don't know why. Others love it and don't know why. That's what makes it so wonderful, it's a mystery.

I'm a Yankee fan...

but I pity the Sox because they always have SO much hope, to fall flat on their faces.

But that said, the whole "let's all be hairy and skeevy" this year = NOT WORKING.

The WHOLE team has gross beards or long hair... and Pedro Martinez.. just GROSS.
The skeevy thing is NOT helping your efforts at all.
Shave. please.
