You kidding me? 6-0 6-5? 10-5? Boston was going to win. Just remember to have that mind-set whenever you watch the NFL or MLB: Boston is going to win. Then you can never have any fun... and it almost always comes true! In order for Game 3 to have been worth its salt, the Rockies would've needed more than a 5 run rally. They never even took the lead! I'm not a Yankees fan... but I will admit that the snobbiest and otherwise most unpleasant fans I've ever met have happened to be Boston fans. Of course, that kinda comes with winning (*remembers how dealing with Cowboys fans was in the mid 90s, as an Eagles fan*), so... In a slightly unrelated note: The Rockies' base-running reminds of the Tigers' pitching errors. Absolutely inexcusable. |

This has been a wonderful Series, IMHO. I've been a Sox fan since 1978, and I honestly didn't think they'd beat the Indians in the ALCS. Seeing them come back from the brink there, and now just kicking the Rockies around ... well, I can't say that it's been a suspenseful series, but it's good enough that I've watched more baseball in the last four weeks than I have in the last four years. (And that includes when the BoSox won the Series a few years back -- I was too friggin' busy to ever sit down in front of the TV. This is the first time I've felt like I could take the time to set back and enjoy a ball game since the nineties). I'd kind of like the Rox to win the next two games, just so the Series will finish in Fenway. But a sweep is fine, too.  |

It's funny you mention Sox-fans, proud. i constantly heard during the golden age of the Yankees that their fans were the most snobistic of the lot. Is it something that's consistent with a winning mentality? I could understand the Sox-fans in 2004- constantly being baited by (especially but not exclusively) Yankees-fans about 'the curse' (I actually think the media kept that thing going for too long), getting even was sweet revenge. But hey, I have that same 'culture' with the fans of the soccer clubs in Holland- bragging rights for the last few years have been with my team, PSV Eindhoven and my head's ballooned up because of that too...
Congrats all you Sox-fans!

Ain't no such thing as allegiance in sports.

My hunch is that he goes to the Angels. And my other hunch is that he never wins a thing there, for he is a big, fat, lousy, stinkin'...

CHOKE
(But he's still a better man than Barry Bonds. I mean... who isn't?)

We've come a long way from the "Tobacco chewing Days" ...  December 13, 2007, 2:58 pm Mitchell’s ListBy The New York Times Here is a list of most of the names of former and active Major League Baseball players named in the Mitchell Report on performance-enhancing drugs. These names were based on incidents in the past, information from the BALCO investigation and original reporting by the Mitchell investigation including information from Kirk Radomski, a former Mets’ clubhouse attendant who pleaded guilty in April to steroid charges, Brian McNamee, a former trainer for Roger Clemens and Andy Pettitte, and from an investigation led by the Albany County district attorney into Signature Pharmacy. As we review the report, names may be added to this list. Chad Allen Manny Alexander Rick Ankiel Mike Bell David Bell Gary Bennett Jr. Marvin Bernard Larry Bigbie Barry Bonds ... IMPOSSIBLE! Kevin Brown Paul Byrd Ken Caminiti Jose Canseco Mark Carreon Jason Christiansen Howie Clark Roger ClemensJack Cust Brendan Donnelly Lenny Dykstra Bobby Estalella Matt Franco Ryan Franklin Eric Gagne ... ÔÔPS!! Jason Giambi Jeremi Giambi Jay Gibbons Troy Glaus Jason Grimsley Jason Grimsley Jose Guillen Jerry Hairston Jr. Jerry Hairston Jr. Matt Herges Phil Hiatt Glenallen Hill Darren Holmes Todd Hundley David Justice Chuck Knoblauch Tim Laker Mike Lansing Paul Lo Duca Nook Logan Josias Manzanillo Gary Matthews Jr. Cody McKay Kent Mercker Bart Miadich Hal Morris David Naulty Denny Neagle Jim Parque Andy PettitteAdam Piatt Todd Pratt Stephen Randolph Adam Riggs Brian Roberts John Rocker F.P.

So is naming the people gonna solve anything outside of casting doubt on their sporting performances?
They can't even sue for defamation- how can you prove innocence for something that a senator at least has cast some veritable doubt over?
It just has fucked the baseball fan over.

People act like steroids in 2007 is some sort of new thing. This has been going on for quite a few years and really, most people don't care.
