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
I swear by the frozen tundra of Lambert Field that this has to be a joke.
Don't they have an AL scoreboard at the ballpark?
The election will follow baseball......New York will beat Boston.
As a Red Sox Fan myself, I never ever would predict what the Red Sox's are doing. Let us not forget the last playoff between the Yankees and the Redsox...when Pedro was allowed to remain on the mound.
That is the exciting thing about being a Red Sox fan, they keep you on the edge all the time.
"Red Sox fans are following the Yankees"
Just like their team, that's all they can do - follow.
Dang. A great politics mixed with sports story and Rush is off today.
The problem is, they don't have the games on the Nantucket Country Club's "smoking room"

Has some strong "barroom" language, but damn funny most of the time.
It apparently wasn't being updated fast enough to suit her and her friends.
Damn Bambino!
Lerry lied while BoSox slide.
Thanks...if you are a Red Sox fan, "barroom" language is not foreign to you.
No joke. I heard him say it myself on TV last night. What a moron.
I posted on this immediately on the live thread - my rabid Red Sox fan husband caught it right away (after he forced me to briefly cut away from the President's speech to get the Yankees score!!!). Kerry is such a dork, he can't even get his sports stories straight. I honestly think he could lose Massachusetts if he keeps this up - he is embarrassing the Red Sox Nation.
I saw it and I was wondering why he was making a comment about the BoSox in Ohio.
Reminds me of the time, Hillary Donned a Yankee Baseball cap and claimed that made her a bigtime Yankee fan.
