2. At the very least, you want a split in "their" house.

Mission accomplished.

[markses]

5. Thank heaven

for small favors...

As my neighbor in Brooklyn says,

Le's go Jankees!

[flamingyouth]

3. Bleah

I spit on this celebration.

ABY!

[markses]

7. The point is that it wasn't a celebration

More like an acknowledgement of the natural order. It would be like celebrating an ocean. It just IS....;-)

[nemo137]

4. yeah, really no need to get excited...

being as the red sox are going to come back and win the series.

[markses]

6. Hope springs eternal, I guess

Especially in a city of losers. :eyes:

Let's go Yankees. (26)

[HEyHEY]

15. Aww cute

You buy a team and act like the rest of the world are losers. Heart and soul over dollars...even if they lose..the sox win.

[JackDragna]

19. Even if they BUY a team?

I'd pay attention if I were you. The Red Sox "bought" the best pitcher and hitter in the league at the time they were available. Their payroll is fifth highest in the league. Spare me.

[Kathy in Cambridge]

22. Fifth highest now, but th Yankees have had the highest payroll FOR YEARS

Don't get your hopes up-Pedro has never lost in the post-season and the Sox can hit Clemens.

[HuckleB]

8. Hmm.

If you're not excited, then why post? Me thinks you feign much too much!

[FlemingsGhost]

10. So much so markses felt the need to post on the Sox thread

No surprise. Typical Yankee fan. "Natural order," and all...

[markses]

11. Hey chowdahead

It's Darwin. Not me. ;-)

[markses]

12. Oh, my!

Literary like...Is it that Haaahvaaahd? ;-)

[markses]

14. You missed it completely

Well, not completely. You're right on with the switch from "th" to "d"
(there to dare). That's an old transformation common to a bunch of American dialects. I believe it is referred to as 'softening" in linguistics. Everything else is off. It's not the changed pronunciation so much as the fact that everything melds together. It's a speed thing:

WenuHavah'onetime'thoh. Al - you know Al? AllydaLid? - yeah'eesmy cousin. 'eewenupdare.

[HuckleB]

16. Ahm nit frim dere.

Ah deedn't mees a ding. U deed.

[jus_the_facts]

9. Yeeeefuckin'haaaaaaaaaaa.........LET'S GO YANKEES..........

....watta game eh!!!! I LOVE IT...I LOVE IT...I LOVE IT!!:D

[WindRavenX]

17. The real battle begins Saturday

Seriously, that game is going to be made of the stuff of biblical epics.
The former Red Sox versus the current "rocket" of the Sox staff? Does it get better than this?
On a serious note:
DO NOT GET COCKY YANKEE FANS. Remain humble and pray often to the Babe.

[OneBlueSky]

18. Pedro v. Rocket =

The Battle of the Titans . . . if they're both on their game (and I assume they will be), this could be a classic battle . . . on another note, the emergence of Contraras (sp?) as a setup reliever fills a season-long void for the Bombers . . . couldn't have come at a better time . . .

I like the Sox, too, but . . . Yanks in six (maybe seven) . . . :)

20. Normally I wouldn't like NY teams, but..

my grandmother was a big Yankees fan, and I'm rooting for them. I have great respect for their history, too. A winning and classy history.

[MrBenchley]

21. Real Coup for the Sox, Sauerbeck was, eh?

Rocket Versus Pedro up next...in Fenway. Wonder if Bucky Dent will be on hand?

No truth to the rumor Bill Buckner is going to be invited to drop the first ball tomorrow....
