DISQUS

GaryFromChapelHill · 2 years ago

When you grow up in North Carolina, you end up "picking and choosing" which teams you will root for for the rest of your life. Back in 1970, I began following the Red Sox. In the early 70's, I became a Cleveland Browns fan. Some could say that I had a miserable childhood as the Sox and Browns continually found newer and more painful ways to lose, year after year.

Until 2004.

So I do have somewhat of a soft spot for Clevelanders that have suffered through a lifetime of sports fandom without a championship.

But I want the Red Sox to send this thing back to Boston and win games 6 and 7, then win me another World Championship. I'm selfish that way.

I'll toast those Clevelanders when my Browns win the whole thing. That'll be sweet.

Gary, we "hang" on your every word. Great memories for for.

Thanks, big guy.

I think you're right, Burt. A lot for the sawks to overcome here and a lot of our guys not contributing, pressing too much. A chance for CC to redeem himself and I can't believe he will throw three post season stinkers in a row.

And Cleveland deserves it. Great management, good team for half the money. You can't say that about our sawks this year. It's almost like we've become the old pre-Torre Yankees.

well so much for our powers of prediction, burt.

i think curt will give us some magic now.

but game 7 should have been bucholtz. I'd give the ball to lester before dice-k, but I think management has primed him to be the fall guy in this drama.

we shall see.

so good to see lofton being such an a-hole. let's make it personal. watch curt dust him. watch carmona send manny to mass general where xrays will reveal "nothing" a la Yogi Berra.
