You are some lucky bastids!

You trail in EVERY game, and come from behind every time (but you're used to that )

Game 2, Rivera blows the save, and you STILL go on to win. That was one of the most exciting games I've watched this year.

Game 4 and A-Rod shows why he's worth so much - steals 3rd to make sure it's a game winning RBI.

Red Sox for the World Series!

Red Sox!!NOOOOOO
Game one tonight at 8pm! Like the papers here are saying...
Let's play Base "Brawl"!! Can you believe the Yanks are the
Underdogs!! I HATE the Red Sucks!!! Let's go Yankees!!!!!
The Cardinals look really tough!!! We're hoping Mariano has a clear
head! (two of his family members just died! )
If the Yanks pitching holds up, we should beat them!! (crossing fingers! lol)

I heard about that!

Something about one of his family members getting electrocuted

Pitching is the ONLY worry - that offensive line up is awesome!

Sox look reasonable this year - you might only win it 4-1!

When i was on holiday in california, we where staying at the hilton in anaheim, and where playing pool against these 2 guys for $5 a ball , there was a crowd watching intently. So after dimissing these 2 pretenders, played another 2 and beat them, as there a was a nice looking girl sitting at my table I decided to sit down.

This guy turns round and asks me "hey dude, are u with the chicago white sox" I was like who? They where staying on our floor of the hotel and i just relieved them off about $400 dollars that night and we all sat having a few beers. The guy that asked me was a die hard fan of them and i introduced him to a couplke of the players. One guy was called Timo, and another fella who was a pitcher, was from venezquela i think and was chasing anything in a skirt. one of the coaches was cool though and offered me $300 for my T-shirt, cause it read Urgent Man Needs Head lol..

Spadge Curt Shilling (which is a Yankee Killer) got SPANKED!!!!!!! Mussina was awesome, was on his way to getting a No hitter/perfect game, but damn it, the Pesky R.Sux started hitting in the 7th! it's ok though, they got close, but no cigar!! Tonights matchup Yankee pitcher: Lieber R.sux P.Martinez.

Spadge - tonight's match up is Yankees/Red Sox Game 2 on channel 5.

I will be staying up to watch

Pedro is gonna piss on ya - he's 16 and 9 in the regular season, but his ERA is a little high at 3.90.

Very surprised at Schilling getting a whooping Look forward to the highlights this evening!

I see Rivera pitched and got the save - fair play

Steve,

There's some fairly decent vid clips floating around on the net.

If you want to see how to hit a home run with pure arrogance, you want to go to MLB.com, check out the San Francisco Giants page, and click on splash hits.

By the way, I fell asleep about 3:00 a.m., so I don't want to know the result!

Erik,

It's because he's not a man of the people! He doesn't celebrate with the crowd, and doesn't take curtain calls too well either.

Compare him to the big HR hitters of the past 6 years, and you're talking Big Mac and Sosa.........and Griffey I suppose. I still have the McGwire All Star HR contest on video - you know the one at Fenway?

I think he has one of the best swings in the game though - that's some feat to it that many home runs................... and how many walks?

The controversy over this side of the Atlantic is that they cut the feed to game 4 at 6 a.m. our time - bottom of the 11th

Haven't seen any of the runfest of game 3, and haven't seen 5 or 6, but game 7 is live tonight.

You best not lose - I don't think I could stand the Red Sox in the WS.

Mariano needs to step up and stop blowing postseason saves - he's walking far too many people.........

Basically that means that he was "at bat" 35 times in the series and only got 6 "hits".

As a factor, 6 divided by 35 comes out at 0.171.

HR is a home run, and a grandslam is a home run when the bases are loaded (scores 4 runs).

I can't tell you how dissappointed I am!!! 3 outs away from sweeping the Red Sox Sunday night, they come back and win 4 games to go to the W.S.
What happend to the Best Baseball team in History? How could this happen?? games 1-3 the Yanks gave the Sox a beat down! Bellhorne(sp) how is the worst player on their team hits another home run! We have the
hitters, but we don't have the pitchers and in the end, it came back to bite us in the Ass!!! Torre, how could you put in Kevin Brown!!!!!!!!!!!!! I would have rather lost the World Series to the Mets than to lose and make history against us for the Sox.
One more thing to remember, the curse is for them NOT winning the World Series, so let's hope they DON'T!
I'm so Upset, No work is going to be done today!!

I watched Brown give up that 2 run homer to Ortiz.

I thought he was supposed to be a sinker ball pitcher! Everything was up in the zone!

Why start him though? Surely anyone would have been better on any amount of days rest?
