I should remind ALL Cubby Fans the Yankees ARE still alive ;-)

Walker grounds out to first. Middle 2nd. 3 - 0 Red Sox. Yankees coming to bat.

[William McKinley]

No one, not even Cubs fans, gets their hopes smashed like Red Sox fans. Cubs fans get close every fifty years. The Red Sox get close all the bloody time.

And always face a New York team.

And I don't have the heart to say what always happens.

[Cboldt]

Is this for real or are we just being set up?

That is a profound question. Seting up a beer here, your namesake, BTW.

Go Sox! Go GO go go go!!

In two innings, Clemens has pitched 42 pitches.

The Toothless Genius
I cannot earn much of a living,
Though why I could never make out.
That this headpiece of mine holds an intellect fine
Is established beyond any doubt.


My lack of all cranial adornment
Denotes a big brain underneath,
And if vanishing hair doesn't clinch the affair,
Just look at my absence of teeth!


Some people wear teeth artificial,
Which cost them exorbitant sums,
But I am not the sort such impostures to sport,
I am awfully proud of my gums.


As bare as the trees in December
My mouth shall forever remain,
That the people I meet may exclaim in the street,
'Ah, there goes a man with a brain !'


I may not quite rival Lord Kelvin,
I haven't yet mastered the dodge
Of propounding the claim of a Rayleigh to fame,
Or of even an Oliver Lodge.


But I know that my intellect's mighty,
Despite what my rivals have said,
For however they try they can never deny
That I haven¹t a tooth in my head.

Yankee Boone makes a throwing error!

Boones not playing becuase he can't hit. Evidnetly his replacement can't throw. A dilemma, no?

[Semper911]

The Yankees just don't look like Yankees tonight.

And The Stadium is kinda quiet...

[StarFan]

Darn, perhaps this just may be the last time we see Roger on the mound.

I normally don't apply the tinfoil hat until the stretch. Have it near, just in case.

[TeleStraightShooter]

[demlosers]

I made a correction on post 515.

[TheRedSoxWinThePennant]

LETS KEEP THEM QUIET!

[hole_n_one]

See, there's always a bright spot.

[William McKinley]

Best post of the night last night on the Cubs thread, someone (sarcastically, I think) said "We've got a two run lead. What could possibly go wrong?"

I mean, said it about 2 seconds before the fold started.

[demlosers]

Posada pops out. 1 out.

[Cathryn Crawford]

Well, maybe we'll both be happy tonight - I'm rooting for the Sox, too.

[Fester Chugabrew]

Ooooooooh! All that beer!

[jwalsh07]

Fast moving thread but it was more a comment on the Yankees third base problem than anything else.

[handhfan]

Posada flies out to Damon in CF. One down.
