Ha ha, Icarus.

I like to think of it as a strange combination of true love and deep pity.

Lowe tonight, Pedro tomorrow. Pettite has been on fire for about the last month, Clemens has been prone to disaster facing Pedro. Wells vs Burkett, unless the sox offense shows up, it will be 2-2 I suspect, after the fourth game.

And I'm going to the fifth game [Smile]

The Atlanta Braves are out of the playoffs, which you would know if you ever posted outside of the hug thread.

Icarus, two words for you:

Pedro Martinez

PS 4th row seats to Saturday's game at Fenway for Pedro vs. The Traitorous Old Fart(and no, it is not me, Icarus-ha ha) are going for

20,000 dollars

on some scalper sites.

My roommate just got back from his trip to Chicago and he's all decked out in his Cubs gear... Plus, he's got one of the out-of-the-park home run balls from game 2. How cool is that?

Bah. There were like 6 million balls hit out of the park in game two. No big deal.

Cool! Cubs won the 3rd game, they've got a good chance...

...and of course I'm happy that the Yankees won the 2nd game to even things up.

Hope the Yankees-Red Sox series gets more interesting -- so far, the first 2 games were good for their first halves, but then in the first game the Red Sox pulled away, and in the second game the Yankees pulled away. I'd like to see some close games and back-and-forth games...

"I'd like to see some close games and back-and-forth games..."

And I would like to see the Red Sox stomp the Yanks like grapes under Lucy and Ethel's feet in the "trip to Italy" episode.

Hey, I don't mind the Yankees losing the series (I can afford to be generous, I know the Yankees have won enough times already), but I want to actually see a good, close, exciting series. (Unlike some poor, revenge-obsessed fans who care more about winning than anything else...)

Listen, Plaid, your pretend concession to the possibility of a Red Sox win would horrify my ninety-year-old grandmother. Here is how the conversation went this morning:

Me: Come on, Gram, don't you want the Red Sox to win it, just once?

Gram: Not a chance. I say: screw 'em.

And you wonder why Sox fans are vengeful?

(I almost fell off my chair laughing)

So: Good Game, Schmood Schmame.

Has anyone here seen "Curse of the Bambino" on HBO? It poses the great question: What will Red Sox fans do if they win? Not just the celebrating either, what will they do with their lives?

Now, see, Elizabeth, I wished for a good, close, exciting game, and I got it. I didn't wish for the Yankees to win... but because *I* was modest, I got MY wish.

And you? You wished for the Red Sox to whomp the Yankees. You got greedy, so you didn't get YOUR wish.

Let that be a lesson to you...

The only series conceivably worth watching would be a Cubs/Red Sox series. It'd better happen.

No, we need Marlins and Red Sox. The Marlins, the team no one wanted to cheer for, the team no one wanted to win, the team no one possibly thought would make the playoffs. And as an added bonus they could become the first team to win two World Series as a wild card.

The Red Sox would be nice, but they scare me. The Cubs have already broken their pathetic curse, they beat the Braves.

Go Marlins!!! [The Wave]

Ack! Stupid Cubs!! [Frown]

I want a Yankees-Cub matchup. Or a Red Sox-Cubs matchup. (Like I said before, I'm a Yankees fan, but I can afford to be generous -- a Red Sox-Cubs matchup would be pretty cool.)

But Yankees-Marlins?? Sorry, it's just not as interesting...

Have you been paying attention?

For the past three months or so, Marlins games have been without a doubt the most exciting and interesting around!

Man, talk about feeling unappreciated!

How can the Marlins win it twice when Chicago has been futile for so long?
