Congrats to the Red Sox...
Now, can someone tell me how the heck that the second-best thing to happen to baseball since 1921 (only the designated hitter had a more positive impact on the game, in my opinion), namely, artificial turf, is going to be kept from sharing the same fate as the dodo bird and dinosaur?
This one should have been pulled, the other thread beat it..
Boston Wins the World Series!!!!!

And to think I tried following the tradition and pistring in the forst thread, silly me.....
Anyway....
POST #2
Boston wins the World Series....
Wins 8 Straight Post Season Games in a Row... A record....
That and the patriots are two good things from that state, kennedy and kerry are two bad things, in my opinion.
Congratulations Red Sox...

Now, the IMPORTANT question is: How does the GOP do in years when the Red Sox win the World Series? Oh, that's right, records weren't kept back then! Sorry Boston …
BTW, that Creed singer did a terrible job on God Bless America. He panted more than an adult film star.
Yes he did. That was a game. Red Sox had the White Sox number all night, then the Chisox started lighting up Reardon in the ninth. Ozzie Guillen lined a rope Brunansky slid and caught.
I did not even know I was going to Boston until 10 days before the game. Ordered the ticket by phone and had no clue how close I was going to be to the field until I got there, and no clue of the significance of the game when I ordered it. Got to see the clincher and Frank Thomas , Robin Ventura and Sammy Sosa as rookies for the White Sox to boot.
Kind of ironic for a Yankee fan like me who lives 400 miles from the closest Major League city to see two pennant clinching games in Boston, no less. I am not a Yankee fan who hates the Sox as Fenway has many special memories to me.
Wow, who sneezed in *your* Wheaties?
Besides, OUR President is a long-time baseball fan, was part owner of the Texas Rangers, and cared enough about young baseball players to build a T-ball Field of Dreams at the White House. Cleaned the place up quite a bit.
And ... W's first pitch from the mound at Yankee Stadium after 9-11 was a triumph of courage and the renewal of the American spirit.
I love baseball, and I love our country.
Kudos and congrats to the Red Sox and their fans! They played great and deserved it all! Many happy returns!
You don't live here?
I'm within walking distance.
Welcome home.
FYI, I heard on NFL Live tonight that the first question Bush asked an Eagles player he met was "what's TO really like?"
GW is no fake fan like the lying SOB Kerry. Any attempt by him to wrap himself in this will boomerang on him badly!
I grew up in Derry N.H and I say to people who ask me if I miss New England. I tell them the thing I miss the most. Is Fenway Park.
Hey, that's what they said when we were against Oakland. And THAT was the best series I remember. Oakland came into our town cocky. They left having been swept.
Of course, that means that we'd probably have to get some pitching between now and Spring. FAT CHANCE. Anyone want Griffey Jr., for a couple of good pitchers?
Now I won’t sleep until Tuesday. I wish I hadn’t looked.
Think of it more like a wartime President being re-elected since the old parties don't really translate these days. Feel better now?
oh, DUH! Yes, it is the number of consecutive scoreless innings pitched for the Sox - but it's also for two terms for #43 - President George W. Bush!!
From a Yankee fan... congrats to the Red Sox.
