Its like I said: If the pitching can keep the game close, the Sox will win it.

If Curt Schilling had been Curt Schilling tonight, you'd be looking at a very different story.

Hopefully he'll be in better shape when he pitches game 4.

Right.....just like you said.....

Oh, and lawrence- having the second highest payroll in baseball sort of nizes the whole "poor team" bit. Anyone spending over 100 Million has no leg to stand on.

Watching that almost makes me believe in that stupid curse. Curt Schilling is one of the most clutch players in the history of baseball. I don't know if it was his ankle or something else, but he sucked tonight.

I fully expect that the Sox will throw up about 7 runs every game. The pitching just needs to be there.

I want the Red Sox to win this series and lose the World Series so that their fans will whine.

As Arrian asked, a still loosing team?

In the past 9 seasons since the strike, many other teams have shown one season or another they had better pitching, better offense, fielding, a deeper bullpen than the Yanks- but the one thing no team has exceeded these Yanks in (the 2002 Angels were closest) in "heart" and "soul". They are a team-just look ta those numbers Imran always brings out, showing the Yankees have won more games than just their raw numbers would indicate. That comes from somewere.

i am a red sox fan:

1. that means im not a bandwagon fan
2. that means im not a spoiled brat whose team wins everyyear
3. that means im not a heartless drone

no matter how much heart and soul Tampa Bay has they wont win anything. the 2001 Dbacks, 2002 angels, 2003 Marlins, and 2004 red sox are all better than yanks are in every catgory except for arrogance, payroll, and number of bandwagon fans.

@ LoA.

You know, there is one significant difference between the '01 D'backs, '02 Angels, '03 Marlins on the one hand and the '04 Red Sox on the other. Know what it is?

The first three teams actually went and beat the Yankees, and all three won the WS. The Red Sox have not done that yet. They have a chance to do it, but haven't done it yet. And they're down 0-1, with their best pitcher quite possibly out of the picture. Not an auspicious beginning.

The Sox do not belong in the same sentence as those three prior World Champions. It's amusing to see you making claims of arrogance in reference to Yankees fans. Win first, brag later, LoA. That's how it works. Otherwise, it's known as "bluster" and doesn't amount to much more than a pile of ****.

1. the Yankees have as many hardcore fans as the witless Sox's do. We get more "bandwagon fans" becuase we do win.
2. The Yankees have not won a WS since 2000- and before 1996 had not won one since 1978. Yes, the Yankees in the last few years have been a great team, and I am happy with them.
3. No, you are a psychzoid drone with manic depression.

You said the Yanks had no heart and soul- now you backtract-given the quality of your predictions...

The thing is, the Yankees are back each year even after the opther one-shot teams like the 2002 Angels burn out.

Memo to LoA:

Whining about the Yankees' payroll is unacceptable from a Red Sox fan. The Yankees have a payroll of roughly $180 million. The Red Sox check in at $120 million. The next team, the Angels, is right around $100 million. So quit your whining, your team is rich too.

If a Twins fan wants to give me **** over the Yanks payroll, I'll grin and bear it. That's fine. The Twins have a $55 million payroll and yet were a playoff team. Good for them, and one does feel a little sorry for them (but *not* their obscenely wealthy owner). But the Red Sox? Enough with the "poor us" bullshit.

And this has what to do with the fact that the Sox are the second highest-paid team in baseball and thus have zero right to cry poverty? Nada.

Hey, I'd laugh at an Angels fan ripping the Sox on the payroll issue. Any team over 100 million just doesn't get to play that card.
