Even Former Texas Rangers Owner Gets Behind America's Team While Nation Calls for Perfect End to Homestand
"Something really important happened last night... The Red Sox pulled to 2-1/2 games of the Yankees!" -- 9.3.04 John F. Kerry
"You probably didn't catch this, but the Jackass Junior Senator from Massachusettes in a speech he's giving at a rally in Ohio just told the crowd that he was really happy because the Red Sox just closed to within 2-1/2 games of the Yankees tonight. Some Boston fan, he doesn't even know what's really going on with the Sox, but claims to be a big fan. I guarantee a real Sox fan knows what the Yankees did tonight just as well as they know what the Sox did. That's almost as embarrassing as Ted Kennedy's pronounciation of "Mike" McGwire and Sammy "Sooser's" names a few years ago. How can they be senators from Massachusettes and be so baseball ignorant?"
-- Jonathan Jackson
"Let me now address those you of you who will say that my twisted logic holds no water. That John Kerry is supposedly the Red Sox fan (albeit one who once described his favorite Sox player as Eddie Yost, who spent the greater part of his career with the Washington Senators but never played for the Red Sox), so as goes his faltering campaign, so should go the Sawx. That the Sox are owned by Hollywood libs who date the likes of Katie Couric. That it is Sox fans - the voters of Massachusetts - who gave John Kerry the national platform in the first place. That angry Sox fans are a perfect analog to the angry disaffected liberals filling the streets of New York this week. That, as Rudy claimed Monday night, the GOP is the N.Y. Yankees of American politics. To you I say this: butt out."
-- Shannen W. Coffin, National Review
She couldn't see the scoreboard on the Green Monster from where she was sitting?
It's just a loser mentality up here.
They started working out how to get a wildcard berth before July 4th. Insane.
He's such an idiot... he could have mentioned the walloping the Yankees took the other night, and thanked Cleveland for administrating the 'beat-down'.
But again, he's not a fan. He's a poser.
What? - Did the Yankees aquire a couple of pitchers lately?
Baseball is a sport for the little people. I bet Kerry knows all the standings in the Cricket league. What a doofus.
No, but I'm sure they will for the post season.
Unbelievable...Thats all that is on the news and sports in the New England area is the pennant race.
And the 3 1/2 game lead has been the same for 3 days!!
You think one of the brick layers or factory workers or carpenters that Kerry was wind surfing with would have told him...Oh, Oh thats right too...those people aren't allowed on Nanatucket.
Not the players...
With Nomar 'the pout' gone, and Curt, Kevin motivating the troops, the Sox never gave up hope... they knew they'd break out of the .500 doldrums.
And unlike their usual "peak early/crash late" pattern, they've got the timing right this time.
He was thinking Botox, not Bosox!
What's really funny is that Kerry was in Ohio. If he was really a Red Sox fan, he would have known the Yankees were playing the Indians. If was really following the games, and had really thought the Yankees had lost, given that he was in Ohio, he would have mentioned that it was the Indians who had beaten them. If you follow a team, and if your team is in a pennant race with its arch rival, you know who the arch rival is playing. What a dork.
Was she sitting in the outfield seats? Otherwise, she could have LOOKED AT THE SCOREBOARD IN LEFT FIELD to get those scores. Or probably read them on the big TV screen in right field between innings!
She was sitting in the Green Monster seats!
She was sitting in the Green Monster seats that were put in last year.
I am really sure that people in Ohio can careless about the Red Sox. What an elitist assumption that all people are interested in what is important to Kerry. good post.
LOL!!
Good slam... and I'm as anti-NYYankees as one can get!
That would explain it.
Got to check out the view from there in 2003 when I took my niece to "Mother's Day walk in the Park" that they put on at Fenway when the Sox are out of town. Not too sure about the view, though. You lose too much of left field for my liking.
Seems that Kerry was just predicting the future ... successfully!
Now that the Red Sox really are 2 1/2 games back (and Kevin Brown of the Yankees broke his hand after the game by punching the wall in frustration), Kerry's minions will spin that he predicted this!
