come on, if this is the season for the red sox to exorcise demons, then the only fitting way for this to end is game 7, in fenway, against clemens and the astros.
Red Sox Win, Red Sox Win
Oh and the Astros have never won a world series, what about the poor suffering Astros, what is their curse.

Originally posted by sonickteam2:actually, houston did need a dome. . .the summer in houston is not friendly to being outside. you have 95 degree weather, with 99 percent humidity and swarms of mosquitos. read the story of the old colt 45s and playing colt stadium - it was a miserable experience. and houston gets alot of rain. . .the astrodome is the sight of the only rain out of a game at a domed stadium in baseball history- the parking lot was flooded and no one could get to the stadium.

the uniforms were more reminiscent of the colour sceme for der wienerschnitzel. . . .mmmmm, chili dogs.

very true. and now that this has happened, you really kind of look back and see…it was all building up to this. Losing in Arizona, Anaheim, losing to Florida, but still going with the same old scheme. It was only a matter of time until it completely backfired.
The Yankees have been overachieving for years i think.

you cant buy success, but you also cant compete if you're a cheap SOB.
Yes, but they paid around 60% more than the third highest paying AL team (Seattle).
NY and Boston are in a class by themselves when it comes to spending.

So here at my work, there are 3 Yankees fans. Last week, all they were talking about was sweeping us and the curse and curt schilling, blah blah blah.
and yesterday and today, all three denied watching either Game 6 OR Game 7…..one fell asleep, the other said "i was sick" and the other said "i was busy".
WHAT????? you arent even watching the games?
bullshit.
you should see them here today. the poor guys dont even know how to lose, they've never done it!!!!
today is a beautiful day

If I'm not mistaken, they haven't won the World Series since 2000.

i dont know one single marlins fan. sure, they've lost to some random teams in the WS, but not like this.
in fact, no one has lost like this before. ever.
Originally posted by Rhett Miller:not to be picky, but i know that vansmack would point this out.. .seattle is the 4th highest spending AL team, behind yankees, red sox and anaheim.

Southern California won't even count once the "big one" hits.

Man, what a hangover I have. Great game, great series. I hope all the Yankee fans go crawl in a hole and die. And take the media with them. It has nothing to do with them anymore, it is finally all about us. Go Sox!!
