RED SOX/YANKEES GAME 4 ALCS BASEBALL - Red Sox Win 3-2

Ok, rain's gone away and it's a beautiful fall evening here in Boston. I've never post anything on FR, so I apoligize in advance if I'm doing it wrong. I don't know anything about pinging or anything like that. Hope the usual suspects find this.
I hope we can move the discussion back to baseball. I'm so tired of Pedro, Manny, Zim, Garcia and the bullpen guy. I think the players have at least temporarily put all incidents aside and will return to playing the game without the extra theatrics.
With that in mind, let me say this: the idea that all Sox fans are English soccer hooligans is as false as saying all conversatives are racists. Most Red Sox fans are extremely passionate about baseball and most of us have Yankee fans as friends, neighbors, co-workers, and even spouses. The media potrayals I've seen in some cases have grossly exaggerated the truth about Boston fans. Yes, we want to win - just ONE DAMN TIME before we all die. Yes, there are a few jerks who get out of hand. But that can be found at Yankee stadium, Wrigley Field, or just about any professional sports event (except Expos games, let's face it no one is even there to fight). At the end of the day, whether the Sox are in the playoffs or 25 games out, it's all about cracking a beer, having a hotdog and enjoying life.
Play ball!

I don't watch MNF openings anymore. Hank Williams and gangsta rap? Speaking of bad trips.

Jerry Reuss. I watched him strike out Canseco four times in 1988.

That's the third damn time in this series!

I love it - don't run against the Yanks! And Posada has an average arm, statistically. He's not exactly Pudge Rodriguez. I think Damon is their only real speed on the bases.

Grady Little shouldn't be a major league manager.Well, they could always rehire Zimmer, he's right across the diamond.

Mueller should have made contact.

Third date?

What is one to do when one doesn't want either team to win??? I've always been a Yankee hater. All of my 72 years. After living for some years in Massachusetts I also became a Red Sox hater. What is one to do, other than root for the Cubs? A pox on both of their houses. I am in the same boat you are, I hate them both.
I would have an easier time picking a side in a CNN / NYTimes softball game.
Go for the Cubs because out of all places Chicago is the only place where you can smoke a cigarette in bar when you celebrate

Wicked fastball on the inside corner to end the inning.
To: demlosers
Lots of strikeouts in this game. Five for Mussina, at least three for Wakefield.

5 K's for Mussina. Not the same pitcher as the other night. I guess Torre knew something that we didn't Mojo.

they could always rehire Zimmer, he's right across the diamond. Sometimes not even that far...

It's really a national telecast-wide problem. I do the same for Patriots games. Unbearable how these clowns think the show's about them. Just SHUT UP McCarver. Quiet!
Someone on Boston radio had a great idea: Throw out McCarver let Jerry Remy (Red Sox color guy) do color for the Fenway games, and whoever the Yankees guy is do the games in NY.
