@drowser: "That was pretty good in the seventh, ya'll crying that it's over with a
SEVEN RUN, then SIX RUN LEAD.....mebbe the curse has something to do with
the way ya'll give up to easy, hehe.....
congrats, boston, ain't over yet, but I think this might be history in the
making....
and what me (no real affiliation) and my yankees neighbor were saying as we
watched it, PERHAPS the reason pedro brought in is that francona realized
that beating the yankees tonight is bigger than winning the world series for
his team...  notice he not bring him back for the eighth........oh ye of
NEGATIVE faith......"
    @Stan: "Dear Drowsy
As someone of no affiliation, you don't understand.
We who are of The Nation have suffered so many times
the last minute slip tween the cup and the lip.
Often, due to managerial obtuseness.
Francona has a history of keeping pitchers in too
long when they've lost it (Pedro), pulling them out
too soon when they have it (D. Lowe).
We are sensitive to things in a way that folks not
of The Nation may find hard to understand.
Hope that helps explain.
stan
ps  and if you think that the lowe-out-pedro-in move
was not braindead, I'd LOVE to hear your reasoning. It'd
help us all understand francoma's mindlessness. "
    @drowser: "okay, I hear you, but try to keep up....
ummmmm......
k, was gonna write something about, "its all in the mind...say curse enough
and the players have GOT to start feeling it deep, even if scoff at it
publicly",,
BUTTTTTTTT.....
you correct in every way, I just don't get it, CANNOT get it, I watched
"curse of the bambino" on hbo and was LAUGHING at ya'll
that about all I had...game just ended as I type this...wow, I think it's
amazing, ya'll prolly crying in joy right now....cry with pride, sox fans,
this is a year to remember, even if get swept in series....2004 will be
answer to 1986 for the rest of your lives...
god bless...

    @drowser: "and another thing, yeah, it does make a lot of sense to bring in your ace on
42 hours rest when your starter has given up one run in six inning, with
another series ready to start, for all the marbles...this is why:
1)been smoking a lotta crack
2)your ace volunteers, says "I KNOW I CAN PROTECT A SEVEN RUN LEAD
3)have not been smoking any crack, feening bad
4)wife has been working out, not giving you any, instant messages you on
your picture phone with her and porn star neighbor telling you "bring pedro
in, this is night to remember"
5)chance to clear up all your bookie losses once and FOR ALL
again, that all I had...... anyone have any more, feel free to add
