Well, I'm more of a fan of blue sox myself. Red is just too bright and "christmasy" to be worn all year round.

Argyle...not really my style. I would agree with you threre:

green sox
they never get dirty
the longer you wear them
the stiffer they get
green sox
they long to be laundered
but something inside me
says oh no not yet!

This is very unsettling, Elizabeth... is this what Red Sox fans fantasize about? Tieing up Yankees and spanking them? [No No]

Of course, the sad truth is that in reality Red Sox fans urge the Yankees to spank them. ("We're a BAD team! We only got in because of the Wild Card! Yes, yes, beat us, yes!") Sad to see how so many years of frustration have warped the psyche of Red Sox fans...

Actually, I read in the newspaper that schilling will NOT be pitching in game 5. If there is a game six, then we can beat him again.

This state trooper sounds good--better than the Citadel guy who even sings for the NYMO. But his mannerisms look astonishingly dorky.

I feel for your guys. I'm currently in mourning over the death of my illusions about the UVa football team this year. [Cry]

At least I'm a Mets fan, so I can remember fondly beating Boston in a Series. [Evil]

Be proud of that series, Dag.

That was a beautiful time.

I have always been a Yankee fan, but that October, we were all Met fans.

What were the pollsters thinking ranking UVa over FSU? The Cavaliers were putting up such a poor fight I left early the bad fan that I am.

And I'm very dissapointed in the Red Sox. But don't worry, next year will be your year. [Wink]

No team in the history of baseball has come back after losing the first 3 games of a playoff series. Just thoguht you'd all like to know.

I would just like to point out that while no team has won after being down 3-0, last year's world champions won three games in a row in each series. They also won 4 games in a row spanning each series twice. In baseball where streaks make up a season I think it is certainly possible. Less likely considering Boston is down 2-0 as I type.

Not good for Boston. With the NLCS tied, the Yankees can nurse this lead with the entire bullpen if they have to; they'll get plenty of rest before playing again.

My eight year-old son has changed his tactics. He is now pretending that he hates the Sox, and loves the Yanks. He did not wear his lucky red underwear for three days, and that is why the Sox lost.

So now he is pretending that he doesn't care.

I know we are all in this for fun, but it means a lot to him. I think of all the other mothers of Red Sox fans, and supporting their children through Red Sox losses through the ages. Hmm. Biography of a Red Sox fan mother...

Gather around quietly, now, they're very rare, and easily scared away...

Plaid,
So is the bobcat who jumps through our cat window to eat cat food. It might be rare, but not impossible.

quote:
Hope
By Emily Dickenson
Hope is the thing with feathers
That perches in the soule,
And sings the tune without the words,
And never stops at all,

And sweetest in the gale is heard;
And sore must be the storm
That could abash the little bird
That kept so many warm.

I've heard it in the chillest land,
And on the strangest sea;
Yet, never, in extremity,
It asked a crumb of me.

So the fans with "I can't believe we fell for this again," and paper bags saying "Who's my daddy?" . . . did they print those on the back of their "We still believe" posters?

It's gotta be tough to be a Boston player right now (not that they don't deserve it . . . ) because you look in the stands, and you've got to be tempted to call it a night yourself.

Trying to better articulate my point from before . . . it's still a very close game, and Boston has a potent offence. But there seems to be an air of defeat already, if not among the players then certainly among the fans.

ADDED: Heck, even the commentators are talking like it's over.

Boston does still have a chance. It's rare, but Rivera has blown a few saves in the postseason...

Let me take a moment to say that the Sox logo in the grass in the infield is one of the very coolest things I have ever seen.
