Who'll be this year's hero? (My money's on A-Rod : )

This isn't 1978 and the Sox aren't playing like it is. The Yankees pitching sucks, they manage to win games with their bats.
It's safe to say good pitching beats good hitting.
Regardless of the outcome between now and rest of the season, the Yankees simply don't have the pitching to win the world series.
Miguel Cairo.
Fourteen World Champion Yankee teams in my lifetime and 26 over all. Each and every one SINCE 1918.
Nothing will bring me more pleasure than those remote camera shots of depressed patrons at Who's On First? on Yawke Way as the Sox make their final out.
Yeah! LOL The Yankees face the Curse of Hillary! Bwaaaaahahahahahahahaha!
Forget 1918 - The Yankees are done hahahahahahahahaha!
Sorry to rain on your parade, but Varitek left his mask and helmet on for a fight. I think it's pretty clear who the pussy is here.
How about "Both of them are pussies because they get paid to play baseball - something almost every kid dreams of at least once in their life - and yet they still can't go without being idiots..."?
It's always someone like Cairo. Makes it that much more painful for the Sox fans. And he's been clutch all year.
I've mentioned that a few times on both FR and some sports boards (the Curse of Hillary!) Yep, let's all remember, fans...
Oct 2000--Yanks beat Mets in Series
Nov 2000--"Lifelong Yankee Fan" Shrillary elected
Nov 2001--Yanks lose to Diamondbacks in Series slightly
delayed by 9-11
Oct 2002--Angels beat Giants in Series
Oct 2003--Marlins (hello Jeb Bush) beat Yanks in Series
I will say, though, that I understand A-Rod is a Bush
supporter (as is Steinbrenner, who donated $$) so we've got some stuff in common, but I wonder, especially since
Grady Little is nowhere to be seen now...
COULD THIS BE THE RED SOX YEAR? :)
>>Hillary is on record saying that she is a Cubs fan.
Another Dem flip-flop. Not surprised! :) (too bad..I was hoping for a Cubs-Red Sox series last year)
Even though I'm a Red Sox fan, I gotta say:
World Series in 2001: W throws a "strike" for the first pitch at Yankee Stadium
Day before DNC in 2004: Kerry (hogging the cameras
all game on ESPN) makes a GIRLIE-MAN first pitch toss.
Oh, and W threw from the mound.
Kerry from in front of the mound.
Perhaps Kerry would be better off throwing first pitch in Little League game (mound only 46 ft from plate)
Well, maybe if the Curse of HIllary plays a role, we could see a very good year ;0)
Nope. Did you even watch the game? Rodriguez had just been hit by a pitch and was headed up the first baseline. Varitek followed him and instigated. I would not even have brought this up if some goofy Red Sox fan hadn't used it to indicate how "tough" Veritek is. He's a creep who understands that in a fair fight Rodriguez would tear his head off.
ping!
I'm going to the game on the 22nd.
Another thing to keep in mind is that A-Rod also himself said that his "language was a bit strong... stronger than it should have been" or something to that effect.
Botomm line is BOTH were instigating, and both are guilty. Period.
Regardless of the rivalries between our teams, this kinda crap is just stupid. I can admit that both players, mine and yours, were in the wrong. Can you?
Is that true? A-Rod and Steinbrenner are Bush supporters?
Why does A-Rod pick a fight with someone wearing a catchers mask - not the sharpest tool in the shed, eh?
