haha, the curse of the bambino is half dead. Only by beating the Yankees could they even have a chance at breaking the curse. :)

The Yanks will peobably try to get Carlos Beltran to replace Williams in center and move Williams to the DH position. Damn but its a shame BB season is almost over and all we have to look forward to is basketball - what a drag.

Come on, the Yanks are in trouble. They need alot more help than some left handed pitching. They have 1 half way decent pitcher and even at that he isnt that good of an ace. The reason the sox won was pitching and desire. They both had the same tired arms and the Red Sox pitchers went out there and pitched their hearts out. Faulk pitched 3 days in a row and threw 100 pitches. He was the closer! The evil empire is in for a big suprise, they have no farm system and are in big big trouble. I got an email from a good friend this morning that sums it all up! "The Red Sox are coming back and Damon is having an awful series. What happens when he wakes up? Answer: THAT HAPPENS. I woke up this morning feeling invigorated by this news. The free-spending Yankees are a sinking ship! Their DeathStar was just destroyed for the second time by a man whose has more hair than all of the Ewoks combined. What happens to the Yankees now? They are locked into a lot of bad contracts, have no farm system and no direction. Who are they going to sign? Pedro? Go ahead. That would have been news four years ago. Carlos Beltran? Go ahead. What lefty pitcher are you going to put up against that Red Sox lineup? Brian Cashman will be fired, as will Mel Stottlemyer. Joe Torre, the ugliest manager in baseball, should retire. There is hope and love in the world. Peace Out and Go Sox!"

The worst collapse in the history of baseball, possibly of major American sports, and it was the Red Sox who did it to the Yankees. WE did it to THEM. BWAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHA. They did it in spite of Francona being bitten by the ghost of Littles past in the 7th inning, their ace pitcher having his foot nearly fall off at the ankle, and their worst pitcher (statistically) starting games 4 and 7 (both Sox wins). Half of the equation has been accomplished. Now they can finish the task against another ghost of the past; either the Cardinals (who beat the Sox in 7 games in the '46 and '67 Series) or the Astros (Clemens and Bagwell, the fish that got away). Icing on the cake: the Patriots can add to New York's suffering on Sunday against the Jets (both teams are currently undefeated). Welcome... to Bizarro World.

I live too close to yankee stadium not to be a fan, but you are right. But i think the bigger picture was that Boston deserves it, even though i hate the idea of losing 4 in a row, congrats to the team and all the fans. Tehy deserve it, they have suffered long enough,i hope they take it all the way.

There are major differences both historical ( the national league was started in 1876 and the American in 1900 ) and in the style of play. The national league is defensive in nature while the American league is offesive. All the real hitters are in the American league. All the real weasels are in the National league ( which is composed of a bunch of real old players with not enough talent to play in the American league ). National League teams sneak out of town in the middle of the night ( Dodgers ) and all the r4eall great players are in the American league ( Ruth and Maris and Mantle and Whitey and Moose and .. wait those are all yankees :). Oh well how can you expect a hockey person to grasp the subtle but acute differences in the two. :) Richard "Under certain circumstances, profanity provides a relief denied even to prayer --Mark Twain (1835 - 1910)
