Hey Yankees fans!!!!!!!!!!
This is incredible baseball. Whatever happens tomorrow, DU before baseball team. Kerry victory before World Series Victory. May our online friendship never suffer over a game. :toast:

Signed,

Your Red Sox pal

1. I'll sign that
and then my curses will be on Dubya just ;) instead of 99% Dubya, 1% Yanks.

4. Now This Is Cool!
I'd sure like to see a classy show of sportsmanship tomorrow night, no matter who wins, like we saw with the Cards and Dodgers in Los Angeles.
I'd really like to see that in NY tomorrow.

Fat chance!

One way or another, NY is gonna tear itself apart tomorrow...either in grief or riotous joy, but NY is gonna tear itself apart tomorrow, methinks.

5. I prefer a Kerry victory to a Red Sox one
and for me that's saying A LOT! I love my Sox, but the future of this country is more important.

6. I'll sign that too
Politics and sport have as much to do with each other as politics and religion. :)

7. I concur. It's just a game.
A beautiful, magical game ... But a game, nonetheless

9. Sounds like a plan. Good luck Boston fans
While I like both, I'm more a Yankee fan - but I'll still be thrilled if you win.

U DA plastic turkey MAN!
Great post.

If you guys win, I'll pull for you in the Series. And it won't be the first time. I hated the Mets (that's the primary rivalry in New York) so much I almost cried along with Wade Boggs in 1986.

I'm a loyal American League fan, plus we all need closure on The Curse.

10. Not a Yankees fan or Sox fan
But I agree. This is some outstanding baseball.

11. if the Sox win Game 7, it will be one of the greatest comebacks . . .
in sports history . . . and certainly the greatest in baseball history . . . and I'll root for them in the Series . . .

but they still have to beat the Yanks one more time . . . and I wouldn't bet against the Bombers in this one . . . either way, though, it should be a hell of a game . . .

12. Biggest choke in history, too.
A page in sports history, the Yankees and their fans will have all for their own.

A healthy dose of humility awaits ...

13. and that's why I am enjoying this so much
So the Yanks will go down in infamy for once, hell they may lose this and come back and win next year but for them to be known as the first baseball team to blow a 3-0 lead would be great because then no one will be cocky when up 3-0 again. Besides, I think I read somewhere that suffering helps make you a better person, the same for the yanks perhaps :D.

14. I FEEL that the "curse of the Bambino" is about to be broken!
There is a feeling about this series that says....Boston is overcoming everything put before it!....Don't get mad at me Yankee fans!....I'm rooting for the Sox because I'm so damned sick of seeing the Yankees win!...:)

15. The curse is the curse
and it will hurt so much more to see it happen again in game 7.


Go Yanks !


If the Sox do win game 7 though, congrats and

Go American League !
