Almost like this years Patriots, outside of Mass how many people in the country were really rooting for the Pats? Everyone loves an underdog.

They're not underdogs anymore.....and the payroll has caught up

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.
