"I'm so happy. I'm happy for the fans in Boston, I'm happy for Johnny Pesky, for Bill Buckner, for (Bob) Stanley and (Calvin) Schiraldi and all the great Red Sox players who can now be remembered for the great players that they were."-2004 Red Sox pitcher Curt Schilling
I think if you're Red Sox, well, it's something you're born with, and affection you have." - Johnny Pesky

Don't get too down over this one as it was forecasted as the toughest game of the series for us. The Sox will win 2 or possibly 3 of the next three games.
In support of the Red Sox and to jinx the White Sox I have thrown out all of my pairs of plain white socks and will be wearing only red ones for the entire ALDS.

Saturday 10/1 Damn Yankees Yanks win division crown, Cleveland loses ensuring at least a one game playoff with Boston for wild card. Win on Sunday and we are in, Lose and we play Monday for W.C. Yankees win 8-4 Win and we're in. Simple as that! (Not to be a sore sport but assuming the Red Sox win the wild card I would rather take my chances with Chicago in the ALDS then the Angels. A win tomorrow and we end up with an identical record to New York, sort of a hollow way to be crowned Division Champs anyway but that's just how it is.) More later....... |
