2. Dude, it was our number 3 guy against their best pitcher right now
We can still take 2 out of 3 and we're still number 1 in the wild card standings.

Pedro's on the mound tomorrow.

3. Errors have plagued us...
...I just thought we'd kick it up a notch going into a 3-game series in New York. Apparently not.

Since starting the season 15-6, the Red Sox have been playing .500 ball... FOR TWO STRAIGHT MONTHS.

World Series contenders don't win one, lose one, win one, lose one for TWO MONTHS.

:argh:

12. I wouldn't say Vaz is the Yankees best pitcher
As of now, Brown has been the best (of course, he's injured now), and recently, Mussina has been looking sharp. Vaz has been consistant all year, but I would say that so far the ace of the staff is Brown.

13. Waaah, waah, you've won what, three championships the last four years?
Plus, you've had consistently good teams (if not great) for almost the franchises' entirety. It's not even like the Yankees, who had some pretty awful teams in the 80's.

Then again, I'm a Bulls fan, and it felt terrible after they won in '98 and the team split up. But you're still probably going to keep Kobe Bryant, and you'll still have future-Hall-of-Famer Gary Payton.

I'm not going to complain about the Bulls, though, because John Paxson just had another spectacular draft - I don't know how he pulled off getting Ben Gordon AND Luol Deng, but all I know is I'm damn happy he did :D Best draft for Da Bulls since Jordan.

How did the Lakers draft go? I didn't really pay attention to theirs, considering I was running around the room screaming in happiness after the Bulls pick + trade :D :D

10. Old And In The Way mentioned watching the game tonight
after he was done mowing the lawn and enjoying a beer. He said he was tired, and that he was going to sit back and watch the Sox beat the Yanks.

I was really tempted, and I wish I had, to say to him "Good thing you're tired, because you're gonna be sitting on that couch waiting for the Sox to beat the Yanks for a DAMN long time."

:evilgrin:
