My Red Sox are trailing 0-2, and yet I am eerily calm about it.

[MallRat]

I can't explain why. It's as if my subconcious is attuned to something fundamental in the universe, something oddly spiritual.

I should be panicking, but I'm not. Something is telling me that they're going to be all right.

Either that, or I'm still abuzz over Kerry's victory last night.

1. I'm with you! I'll worry if they lose tomorrow night, but 2 losses at

Satan's Lair does not a series make. Sure, I'd feel great if they took one, but it's not like they got creamed. They made boths games games, if you know what I mean. Their bats are just aching to let loose.

Also, they lost the first two last year, and were down 3-1, and SHOULD have won the series if their lame coach had the balls to tell Pedro to get off the mound at the right time!

2. Must be...

because every time the Sox go up against the evil empire Yankees they lose, lose, lose for the run to the World Series. They're cursed! Great! Another f*#kin' World Series with the Yankees and whoever?? At this point, you might as well discontinue having a World Series and just give the Yankees a freakin' trophy every freakin' season. The World Series is becoming irrelevant with the Yankees in it almost every year.

3. Well Schilling is done, so it's probably a sense of resignation...

4. If you gave me $180m to spend on players, I could win too n/t

[NYC Liberal]

7. How about $120 million?

[TomClash]

9. Gee, 180-120= 60

That's a lot more dollars, like 1/3 more.

8. of the nine Yankees on the field last night . . .

only three were high-priced "imports" . . . Rodriguez, Sheffield, and Matsui . . . the others were all either home-grown talent (Williams, Posada, and Jeter, as well as Mariona Rivera) or small-contract castoffs that the Yanks picked up here and there (Cairo, Lieber, and Olerud) . . . I think the Red Sox probably had more high-priced imports on the field than the Yankees did last night . . .

[TomClash]

10. That's irrelevant

They paid a lot to keep Rivera, Williams, etc.

[bigwillq]

14. Baseball is a business

The "business" with the most money usually always wins. Sad but true.

[TomClash]

15. So then no Yankee fan has reason to be high and mighty about it, right?

[RivetJoint]

16. New York cares enough

to get the best. Boston doesn't.

And I'm a Dodger fan :-(

[TomClash]

18. Totally Daft.

They have the money. That's it.

[kick-ass-bob]

5. It's because you know death is approaching

the dying always reach the calm point...

[Beer Snob-50]

6. no need to panic yet.........

wakefield is the yankee's daddy, arroyo will pitch the game of his life, and d-lo will pitch like his contract depends on it. also, they are home and will start to hit the ball!!!

[Zech Marquis]

11. it's ot over until the final out

Yankees almost let your Sox beat them in Game 1...had Pedro not stayed in that long like he did, Game 2 would have been a nail bitter too...so this Yankee fan takes NOTHING for granted in the playoffs--NOTHING!

Hell, Kevin Brown might headbutt himself or something :evilgrin: Vasquez isn't exactly doing well eitther, and El Duque?

This could still get ugly for NY real quick..

[Blue-Jay]

12. You're calm because you're used to losing.

[jpak]

13. They were fucking pathetic

I had to turn the TV off after 3 innings - both games!

and fucking Jeter

don't get me started

[sniffa]

17. we got the yankees right where we want 'em

i hope we Lose tonight, and then win the next 4 so yankee fans can have just a taste of what we go through. :evilgrin:
