thought I'd revive this thread for a little while because of the baseball playoffs. how bout them Redsoxs? The 1st team to go down 3 straight in a best of seven series to come back and force a game seven! Any idea that baseball is boring ending with this series. This series has been anything but boring. IMHO.

The Bosox have been amazing in the last three games. I was getting so dejected after they lost their first three to NYY. It was truly pissing me off. I really want to see the Sox in the Series. And to think I was a diehard Yanks fan for a decade and a half. Weird, huh?

I guess there has been some potential interest in Sammy Sosa from the Mets. Dunno what truth there is to it. May just be the optimistic rumblings of disgruntled Cubs fans. But I'd like to believe it. There is in fact a window when Sammy can be traded this off season without any input from him (he can't veto the trade or anything else). I just hope the Cubbies take advantage of it. Let's lose Sammy and Alou, re-sign Nomar, and make a strong run for Beltran. That would make for a good start to 2005.

The Cardinals vs The Sox in the WS.

Did anyone realize that the WS could have been reminiscent of the 04' pres. election in America, had the Astros won...Texas vs Mass.

I live in Chicago. I'm not from Chicago. I was born in New York and became a Yankee's fan while living in Connecticut. In Connecticut, you have a choice of rooting for the Mets, Red Sox, and Yankees. Yanks were the biggest underdog at the time of the three teams (1985) and I really dug on a certain firstbaseman named Don Mattingly. Still think the guy was one of the greats of the 80s and early 90s. Carried that love of the Yankees with me out here to Chicagoland. As years went on and the Yanks got better and better, everybody became a fan. It became a bit too much when I was being accused of being a bandwagoneer despite being a fan since '85 (it takes quite a bit of time to explain it to them, then there's always the question of whether they'll believe you... I gave up). But I attribute most of my disgust towards the Yanks when they started pillaging the majors for their team instead of their own farm system and also to the time when I saw my first pink Yankees hat. That was just too much.

i hate all teams that buy there players off other teams rather then get there own through there farm system. that is why it is always a good day when a team from NY loses. that doesnt include the Islanders or the knicks or the mets though.

I hate the Yankees! whenever they take the field I think the imperial march ought to be playing. There is only one other sports franchise I consider more evil then the Yankees.

HINT: I'm Eagles fan and no, its not the N.Y. Giants and its nickname begins with a 'C'

I cant figure it out Warbler?! I too think the Yankees are poo. Haha...sorry. But seriously, when it comes down to who can spend the most money on the most all-stars, its just not fun anymore. Honestly, I think thats what I like about the Cardinals right now, they have some big names, but they are winning games because they are a fundamentally sound team.

*AHEM* I still think the Sox are going to win.

Yeah, I get the same thing Bossk. Ppl here in Cali think I am just a fan of Boston because they r winning games. It baffles me cause I can't see the point of my three t-shirts and two hats promoting the team when I am just a "front-runner" lol.

I knew it was a football team. But I could only think of the Chargers, Cubs, & Cardinals. None of which are powerhouses, or teams to hate. OH Carolina. Duh...lol
