Then an inning before or after, Manny launched one and he almost fell out of the booth and was beside himself. That did it for me
Hey Berman is a Giants fan, give him a break, they havent won since they were the NY baseball Giants...

I'm still pissed about how they handled the Torre situation, with that said though...I tend to agree that this year won't be quite like the past 12 when Torre was at the helm. He knows how to be in charge of players, Girardi won't be there long if he f*cks up. Once the old man is gone, his kids will sell the team and we'll be back to the "65 thru 73" era in the Bronx.

.....but, I still hate the "Sox"!

Shocking result......


ESPN Poll on whether Red Sox Nation or Yankee Country is king ....185K votes approximately

States for Yankees......8
States for Sawks ......37.
Too close to call...........5

Red Sox 53% popular vote
Yankees 47%

Then again Bristol University is in New England

I do not think that it is shocking. The Red Sox were such tough luck losers for so long and such an underdog to the big bad evil empire Yankees that I guess that people started to root for them. The Sox also had a huge payroll, but it paled in comparison to the Yanks too. Nobody likes a bully and that what the yanks have been considered for a long time. Almost like this years Patriots, outside of Mass how many people in the country were really rooting for the Pats? Everyone loves an underdog.
