Pedro WHO?

[palmer]

Is there a link for this article?

[Hatteras]

When Pedro "survived" the 7th, I got up to do something. When I came back and he was taking the field for the 8th, I knew it was over. I couldn't believe Little left him in.

I was pulling for the Sox only because I don't care to see the Yankees win anything but it must really suck to be a Red Sox fan right now. Heh, heh, heh...

[Jim Cane]

I love the Red Sox. I hope Boston can take the series next year. Congratulations Yankees on a fine performance. Good luck in the series.

[gridlock]

At least the Bosox lost the the New York Yankees, and not the Fish...

[Bambino]

My work here is done.

I can rest in peace for at least another year. I am (AND WILL REMAIN) ever vigilant.

Seriously, it was a great series. All I can say to the Red Sox fans out there is..... BWAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
