This could be series!

Are you the only member of the Red Sox Nation fan pulling for the Yanks?

No, I guess you can count me in also, although I'm not a die-hard Red Sox fan. I've had such a love/hate relationship with the Sox over the years that I can't fully commit to them.

The Marlins mean nothing to me... I just can't see rooting for some team that was slapped together in 1991. I prefer the "old" teams with a rich history such as the Yankees.

Also, here in central Connecticut, fans are split about 50/50 Red Sox/Yankees, so I'm also siding with one of our "hometown" teams.

Go Yankees!

The Yankees aren't the only team to lay the Sox low.

1948. Danny Galehouse.

[Mr. Mojo]

That's 2 so far. ....you and Burkeman1.

[lavrenti]

They almost got Pierre.

[F16Fighter]

"They just showed that horrid flare of Jason's.

I can do that."

And I'll bet it wouldn't take you a half-hour to get down to first in the process.

[Burkeman1]

Respect. Sorry.

[lavrenti]

At 41, I can still outrun him.

[My Favorite Headache]

Bottom of the 9th comin up...hang on Fish!!!!!!!

[bazbo]

No apology expected or neccessary, may the better team win:+)

[rs79bm]

The Yanks are about to be roasted, Southern Style.

[My Favorite Headache]

This is a "No Goat" zone.

[lavrenti]

Bottom of the ninth.

[fhayek]

I remember some Red Sox fans doing some premature Chicken counting...

[F16Fighter]

"At 41, I can still outrun him."

Are you logged onto your laptop from a box seat along the first base line? DO IT!!

[TeleStraightShooter]

Due Up in the 9th {& hits/AB vs UuU}
Giambi 2/6
Boone 2/3
????

[lavrenti]

Marlins haven't done anything particularly evil or weird to deserve a curse...yet.

[rs79bm]

But......But....remember, the Yanks are tired, tired, tired!!!

[Mad_Tom_Rackham]

Witnesses say that Eric Actonski, last night’s first base umpire, avoided eye contact with Palmeiro throughout the game. “I think my on-field erection made some people uncomfortable,” Palmeiro said.

His new nickname (obviously): "Rod"

[Sam Spade]

Should be interesting to see how these two teams of destiny fare in this series. Yankees have won how many championships and Florida has never lost a playoff series. Very interesting...

[lavrenti]

I ran like a f'er from the collapse of the first tower and didn't get dusted.
