Since the Marlins will never do anything usefull in Baseball, ever (yes, I hail from SF) ,and I can't STAND the Yankees, I'll root for the Sox. Plus, not a championship won since 1918? I don't believe in "The Curse", but ****. I'll root for them, watch them win, and then suddenly half of the entire North East has one thing less to **** about. But then again, when you look at 86', you don't feel instilled with much Red Soxs confidence. GLOVE TO THE GROUND, I learned that in PAL, for christ's sake.
I spit on the so-called Boston 'Curse'. They won in 1918 - they Cubs have not won the world series since 19<b>08</b>. To quote Cartman, 'Quit yer b****in"!

Way to go Sox! Wakefield's knuckleball was really on last night - looked like that old Bugs Bunny baseball cartoon ("Here's my twistah bawwl... 1-2-3 you're out, 1-2-3 you're out, 1-2-3 you're out"). And that monster Ortiz shot was insane - 3rd deck!
No let up in tension! We pull one back to make it 2-2
"A bit of history that suggests the series could swing in Boston's favor: The Yankees had won five straight one-run decisions in LCS play, their last loss coming in Game 2 of the 1980 ALCS against Kansas City. Since the start of the '98 postseason, they are 17-4 in one-run games. Their previous three one-run defeats came in series they would go on to lose, the last being the 2001 World Series against Arizona...................But the series is now assured of returning to New York, as a best-of-three tournament."

Old men that <i>attack</i> them. Way to try to play the victim.
By the way, in case you were wondering, the groundskeeper (who works as a special ed teacher during the day) is ok, and has been released from the hospital. Boston police said that they will wait until after the series to file their summons against Jeff Nelson and Karim 'If someone hits me, I'm going to hit <i>everyone</i>' Garcia (who tore his hand open punching the guy in the mouth <i>while</i> he was pinned to the ground).
I'm sure you were worried about him, too.
But any how, both teams got back on track last night. Great game, no theatrics. Just the way it should be.

He is an old man, you dont throw him down, yeah Pedro is the victim shooting off his mouth, he could barely speak english. It looks like the Boston Red Sox just went to some country like Brazil, or Columbia kidnapped Pedro to have a chance at winning.

do new yorkers need to be attacked AGAIN for people to be friendly with them again?
(YES, in a bout of extreme cynicism i'm citing 9-11)
gawd.
i've actually never encountered this. SF'ers caress their giants, but they're not ragging all over NY..
