Go Rays!
This is just our reward for letting the Bruins best our Lightning last post-season.
And it’s amusing that the biggest oops that led to their decline was a former Ray dropping a pop fly (Crawford).

Have the Red Sox fans given Robert Andino a new middle name yet?

"There's an entire group that spent four months masquerading as the best team in baseball," Second best. At no point of the season were they a better team than Philly.
Couldn't happen to a bigger bunch of choking dogs.

Any comment yet from John F. Kerry’s favorite player, Manny Ortiz?

Red Sox were 76-0 this year leading entering ninth.
Yankees hadn't lost a game leading by 7 runs in the 8th inning since 1953.
Both happened on the last night of season to keep the Red Sox out of the playoffs.

The Detroit Tigers had a huge collapse a few years ago.

Could not happen to a better city. Wrong. It could have been the Yankees. Go Tigers!

A few minutes later in St. Petersburg, Fla., Evan Longoria's solo homer in the 12th inning gave the Rays a hard-to-believe 8-7 win over the New York Yankees after they trailed 7-0 through seven.Hmmm, I question the timing! Would the Yankees serve up a hanging curve ball to put the final nail in the Sox coffin? you betcha!

Years and decades from now, in the dead of a cold New England winter, one Boston fan will look up from his chowder and, apropos of nothing, shake his head and say quietly, "I cant believe Grady left Pedro in." And the all other members of Red Sox nation present will immediately know exactly what is being said and they will bow their heads in silence, as if mourning the loss of a loved one. Tom Verducci, "Little lapse", SI.com Oct. 17, 2003
Tom, time for an update.

hee, hee... and I'm sitting in a cubical next to one of the worst Boston fans. There's definitely a black cloud hovering over his cube. Running his yap all year long and now? Total silence. Not a word. Won't even acknowledge anyone.
In all seriousness though, it is pretty disturbing that a 40-something year old guy with a wife and kids and a good job, would actually get so wrapped up in his sports the way he does. He's 40 and he wears Red Sox shirts and Patriots jersies to work! This fellow needs to grow up and get some serious help.

If only Billy Bean had accepted their 12 and a half million dollar offer.

boo hoo Boston. Take your $160m payroll and choke on it! Only thing better would be to see NYY eat their $200m this year.
