Boston sucks, and their teams suck...the yankees will foil whatever chances Boston THINKS they have at making it to the World Series once again, how many times have Boston and the Yankees met in a alcs game 7? and how many times have the yankees won?...the curse lives on..
The Red Sox win! Theeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee Red Sox win!!!!! World Series, here we come. And Damon had a great interview, I must say. Pedro hardly deserves anything, though. ****ed up badly there, luckily didn't stay long. Ah yes, as wuTa says, the Yankees let them win.. I'm sure that's why they're crying in the dugout, and I'm sure that's why A.Rod is so pissed off. Because they let the Sox win. NOT. rolleyes1

Ahhh what a great series!
I don't try to try to put other fan teams down, but for all of these eloquent Yankee fans I can make an exception as the Yankees just showed the

I found this gem on the Home Theater Forum by Jeff Gatie.
To the New York Yankees,
I have been watching my beloved Red Sox for 30 plus years. I watched Munson crash into Fisk. I watched Pinella crash into Fisk. I watched Nettles and Rivers twist Bill Lee's arm out of his shoulder. I saw Yaz look up into the net. I saw my favorite ace go into mercenary pinstripes for the price of a ring. I saw Grady not pull his ace. I've heard it all from the leather lungs of your fanatical legion of fans (When they were not rooting for the Mets) - Babe, Buckner, Boone and Bucky F'in Dent. But above it all, I've heard the numbers. Those goddamned numbers. That sing song couplet of two numbers that represented the futility of my allegiance - 19-18, 19-18, 19-18. No matter what, there were those numbers, over and over and over.
Well, now you have your own numbers and let me spell them out for you - 2004, 3-0, 3-1, 3-2, 3-3 and 3-4. These are your numbers, you earned them. You earned them by performing the greatest single collapse in the history of Major League Baseball post-season play. You earned them by getting beat. And never forget who beat you. Never forget you got beat by:
A "fat" Dominican who signed with my team for less, not more, because he found a home here.
A crippled up old war horse who came to my team not for the number of rings they did have, but for the number they didn't.
A too short, too small, too fragile man who may have called you "Daddy", but never called you "Master".
And finally, your back was broken by a half-Thai, half-Irish stutterer with a haircut like a muppet and the kind of facial hair that makes him the antithesis of everything "Yankee".
Come to think of it, you got beat by a whole team that is the antithesis of everything Yankee. You made fun of their crazy hair, their scruffy beards, their unkempt uniforms, their dirty hats, their bloody socks and their pinetar covered helmets - everything that endeared them to me and pissed off Yankee establishment and fans from here to Japan and back because they were not as "professional" as the Yankees; what ever that means. But they beat you just the same, they beat you good.
Sure you are going to spout your platitudes about the number of banners, the rings. We'll hear the "we were not supposed to win", the "we were the underdogs" and "well we took them to 7" statements that I've heard before because I've said them all before. You can't fool me. Those things mean nothing, do nothing, to stop the pain. And I know your pain, I've carried it for 30+ years, so I know it intimately. But this year it is yours. Enjoy it. Revel in it. Take all winter to let it seep into your bones. Oh, and take these too - 2004, 3-0, 3-1, 3-2, 3-3, and 3-4. They go along with the pain, they are your numbers now. Memorize them, for they represent history. The greatest collapse in MLB playoff history and they are yours. Never forget them, because if you do, there is all of Red Sox Nation here to remind you. And we will... with the same kind deprecation that you have reminded us of our numbers.
But we won't remind you just yet, not yet. You see my team's going to the World Series and they are going to see what they can do about my numbers. So I'll wait to remind you of yours. I'll wait to see if in 2 weeks I can remind you without you coming back at me with 19-18.
We'll see...
Also I've got to give credit to Forumcrew saying that Lowe should still be in the rotation back in the American League Baseball thread when I didn't have faith in him. Lowe proved me wrong with two great starts against the Yankees.
hahaha i love it.. and even francona didnt believe in lowe for a while but hes definantly earned his keep now, and i bet you hes gonna start in the WS
Id go:
1-pedro
2-schilling
3-lowe
4-wakefiled/arroyo
5-pedro
6-schilling
7-lowe
i cant decide who is easier to beat though, houston who is untouchable at home, or the cards with the best NL bullpen and they both have a great lineup.. but if they can handle jeter, a-rod, shef, matsui to a .167 average in 4 games i think they can pitch to anyone
