I see Kerry as the Red Sox (although Mannie Ortiz will not be playing this evening) and GW as the Yankees. The long haired unkemp Sox represent the rabble that supports appeasement of the enemy and the clean cut Yanks favor offense, offense offense. Therefore the Yankees will win.

"While Boston's starting pitching couldn't match a Yankees rotation of Roger Clemens, Andy Pettitte, Mike Mussina and David Wells last year,...."

 

I am no longer a big Red Sox fan, but that remark is ridiculous. The Red Sox were leading in that 7th game and Pedro should have been pulled as the Sox bullpen had been outstanding last October. Red Sox management now claims that Grady Little was going to be sacked anyhow but that is garbage. If Grady Little had won that game he would have been signed to a multi year contract no matter what happened in the Series. 

It is always and only about beating those damn Yankees.

Also Roger Clemens may be a good pitcher when it don't count, but he is my opinion the biggest choke player in my lifetime. Clemens always chokes in big games. From the 1986 World Series, and then when he got himself thrown out against the A's  in the playoffs, till last year when he was slaughtered by the Sox in September, and then again later left game 7 of the ALCS losing 4 to zip.

I'd love to see a Sox Astros Series just so that the so called Rocket can be embarrassed once again in the clutch!

Okay, okay. My dislike of the Yankees will transcend my upset over the Sox beating my beloved Angels like a redheaded stepchild.

Go Sox!

Life would be so much less fun if it were not for Red Sox fans. Their hearts filled with childlike innocent hopes of the championship which has eluded them, their parents and their grandparents, they dream the impossible baseball dream.

Since last the Dead Sox won a championship, the Yankees have won all 26 of the Yankee championships.

Tonight's festivities (with Schilling suffering a bad ankle needing pain shots) should feature skillful bunting down the first base line by Jeter, Cairo, A-Rod, Lofton and others. Even without the bad ankle, Schilling would suffer from all the exercise. Pedro Martinez recenly held a press conference to proclaim that the Yankees are "daddy" by virtue of the way they dominate him. Arroyo is young and has not yet fully imbibed the futility of the Fenway Faithful. Maybe he will imbibe now. Wakefield and his damnable knuckleball are more effective against the Yanks than any other Dead Sox starter.

Nomar Garciaperra is already gone. Will he switch to 2B and call Yankee Stadium home?

Then, after this season, the Dead Sox face the free agency problem. Catcher Jason Varitek (more valuable by far than many realize), strugglng pitcher Derek Lowe, Ace Pedro Martinez, outfielder Trot Nixon, and important others. This is the last shot for this Bosox team. They won't all return. Tampa Bay and Baltimore fight it out for second place next year.

Grady Little couldn't pull Pedro, but the manager the Bosox have now (I forget his name) doesn't seem to have the authority to make such a move. He is afraid his name (whatever it is) will become synonymous with "The next Grady Little".

Daddy always said that you don't name the steers. I don't think I'm gonna spend a lot of effort remembering this guy's name.

I see it as Athens vs. Sparta. New York is the larger more prosperous Athens and Boston as the smaller and scrappier Sparta. It really is the great struggle of our age.

Go Sox!

The absolute worst part of a Bosox win would be to have to listen to that ponderous, pompous voice of John F'n Kerry as he bloviates on endlessly about how you gotta believe and how he has been a Bosox fan all his life. Come on, Bosox faithful, admit it. Wouldn't that be enough to turn your stomach?
