Hank S and the Red Sox

[MaTH716]

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.

Triple H.. Please put the Kool-Aid down...and remember the Blankies can & DO buy any player they want. I think Hank is just mad that the mets took that twins pitcher, before they could buy him.
Go>> Sox's !

As I remember it was the Bosox that outbidded everyone (and I think by at least 20 million) to get Dice K. They know how to play that game too.
