>>It is sad, really.

No it isn't :)

>>You want to know why the Yankees had to get Clemens? Because they didn’t get Schilling, Beckett or Matsuzaka.

How long will it take the "Rocket Man"'s new team to win it all again?

Tonight's starting pitcher for Sox (vs Jays) is Josh Beckett who is a mere 6-0 and was part of the Marlins team that beat the Yanks in the '03 Series.


NO CLOSURE: Yankees closer Mariano Rivera reacts after giving up the game-winning home run to Adrian Beltre in the ninth inning of last night’s 3-2 loss to the Mariners.

Gosh, I wish he’d retire already. Hubby has his rookie card, and it won’t achieve its true value until he is in the HoF. LOL.

As a Red Sox fan, I can only sit back and truly enjoy this fiasco. I really, really, really am getting a kick out of this. This is priceless for us. Thanks for the entertainment, Yanks. It’s like getting a two-for-one season. So far, my beloved Sox are doing well, and the Yankees could not be more of an embarrasment.

But they did get Mr. Jenga, Carl Pravano.

When I heard they signed Clemens, I thought, man are they desperate.

I forgot. The Red Sox made NO effort to get Clemens back for part of this season . Oh wait, they did! Typical Sox fans. You run ‘em out of town [Boggs, Clemens, Damon] - it's their fault, especially when they wind up in Pinstripes. You lose out in the bidding, hey,you didn't really want 'em anyway.

Just keep remembering 2004. We'll remember the previous 86 years. And when the Tigers took us out, where were the Bosox? Oh yeah, home, watching the playoffs they weren't in. The only people on Earth with a more selective memory than Red Sox fans are the French.

I wouldn’t pick on Roger for being greedy. Steinbrenner has plenty of money and offered $28 million. Who in their right could walk away from such an offer after making a measly $12 million for a 7-6 season?

Now the Yankees are just kind of pathetic

Dream on.

Saying it over and over will never make that statement come anywhere near the truth.
The Sox win one Championship in a bazillion years and now they think they have risen to the level of an actual baseball team.
They are arrogant at best. They should pray that one day they will rise to the level of being as pathetic as the NY Yankees

By the way, how long do you think it will take before the “Roger & Roids” controversy starts up again. His name was one of several players listed in the Jason Grimsley affidavit. It’s certainly curious how Roger’s career suddenly turned to the upside back in 97 after he left the Sox. That was right around the time that the Mike McGuire/Sammy Sooser HR chase was on and also the time that plenty of other players started with the juice.

Roger is up at least 30 lbs since his 20’s and it’s all bulk.

Neither the Yankees nor the Red Sox suck. It’s their fans when the two teams play each other that are more annoying than a Code Pink rally.
