Yankess Vs. Boston, and the Curse...

[treysar]

I just went over to Babe Ruths grave site at lunch - you know, for good luck tonight and stuff. It''s insane over there - red socks hanging above the gravestone, candles, articles, ticket stubs, and a crowd of men in busines suits doingthe african swahealee curse dance. (Ok, i made up the last part about the dance, but there really is a crowd of busines men with very serious looks on their faces..)

 

[reena]

GO SOX!

 

[treysar]

Uh oh Reena, looks like jewlery is the only thing we have in common!!

Kiddin' - I'm actually a little excited for Boston too!

 

[alexah]

my sweety is a big yankees fan so there's been no joy in our household these past few nites

just end it already! & put us out of our torturous misery! ...of course i'm talkin about the hockey lockout

baseball zzzzz

(of course, i used to be a mets fan so this could just be sour grapes)

 

[Patty]

Go Redsox!! We'd rather play them than the Yankees in the World Series! (We being the Cardinals.)




I'm going to the game this afternoon....For those of you on the east coast, there IS another division out there playing baseball with teams from Missouri and Texas.

 

[Judi W]

Here in Houston it's ASTROS all the way!!!!!!!!!!! We're "buzzing" over our "KILLER BEE'S". Ready to wrap it up later today or tomorrow and then bring on the Yankees or the Red Sox. I do think that the "curse of the Bambino" will prevail and we'll be playing the Yankees....but if I had my pick, I'd rather us play the RedSox. The Yankee fans are not very nice to visitor teams! GO ASTROS!!

 

[fire&ice]

I'm a huge Mets fan. So, by virtue of that, I am not a big Yankee fan. Though I usually root for any of the NY teams.

Not this time! It's time to break the curse.

GO SOX!!!!!!!!!!!!

Plus the Yankee pitching hasn't been as good as they have in the past losing Clements (didn't like) & Andy P.

I'm pulling for an Astro/Sox series. I'm an underdog kinda fan.

 

[reena]

well . . .

it truly is bad for me to be rooting against the yanks, as 1) i live in NYC, and 2) all of the men in my family are avid yankees fans. but, i just can't bring myself to cheer for them. they always win.

my honey is a die-hard cubs fan (which comes with its own set of heartaches!), so that's really the team of choice in our apartment. but, i did spend 3 years in boston for law school, and cubs fans and red sox fans seem to share some sort of curse/hard-luck bond, so we're both pulling for boston.

go sox!

 

[yellowfan]

Go Cards! Matt MO will bring it in for St. Louie!

 

[Denise]

Even though I was born in NY...I live in Houston sooooo...GO ASTROS !!! I've had the privilege of going to a few Astros game lately. I saw them beat the Rockies, Braves and now the Cards...tee hee. It's so much more exciting seeing it live. To witness one home run after another. And cheering w/ your fellow fan friends and slappin' "high fives" w/ complete strangers. Acting a fool and losing your voice...there's nothing like it.

Between the Yanks and the Sox...GO SOX..Like Reena said...they ALWAYS win. I am going for the underdog.

I would like to add that Denise is dressed in full Astros regalia today....complete with her "Strows" shirt and cap...ready to root our boys home to their first ever World Series! Woo Hoo!

 

[dimonbob]

GO "Strows" and lets go to Boston.

It is 94 here in Houston today. I don't think either the Sox or the Yanks and take us in this heat.

 

[Diamondsbybree]

Myself and my sweetie are HUGE REDSOX FANS~!~!~!~!
Shillings did a fantastic job pitching last night, and he was HURT~!

GO REDSOX~!~!~!~!~!~!

 

[ame]

I gotta say, Id love to see the Sox win it. Just to see them beat the Yankees. Im sick of the Yankees.

I just hope the cardinals can pull it together. Jeez.

Next year... We're still just lulling all of MLB into a false sense of security!

 

[Jean]

It is time for the SOX!!!! I am so happy to see so many of you cheering for the SOX!!! My fiance is on is way over and there is plenty of beer in the fridge because it will be needed tonight! Talk about stress!!

 

[Jennifer5973]

Your tiny font shows you are not committed!

So, your one of "those" NY'ers.

Not me at Shea w/ my Grandpop. Fond memories. THose amazin Met. Meet the Mets. Meet the Mets. '69 series. And, I think the 89 series. Can a Mets fan really like a Yankee fan?

But for right now - GO ASTROS! Couple more runs will do it!

Oh, nooooooooo...I am committed....but I was afraid of the irrrational Sox fanatics who seem to be taking over this thread!

GO YANKEES!!!!

...But the CURSE isn't broken until they win the World series....

 

[Judi W]

Congrats to all the Boston Fans.....now watch out, because here come our Astros! I saw one NY headline that read "Hell Freezes Over". The curse is broken -- as all curses must be eventually!




Roger C is ready and so are WE....Go Strows! (Biting our nails in Houston!)

 

[JC]

Well, I'm not a Red Sox or Yankees fan, but I did watch this series. I guess someone coming back from three games down had to happen at some point. How poetic though for that team to be the Red Sox against the Yankees. I'm glad the Sox won that series, but it would have been cool to see Houston play the Yankees in the world series for only one reason. ROGER CLEMONS. How weird would it have been to see Clemons face the team that he played for in last years World Series? That would have also been a good sports story, but nowhere near as significant as the Sox beating the Yankees in game 7 at NY.

Tonight should be interesting. Ill be there, probably in the nosebleeds. Got the tix from our print vendor at work (I run the print graphics dept in an ad agency.)

[Judi W]

Glad the Sox won....didn't want Clemons to pitch against the Yankees in NY. The fans in Yankee stadium are not exactly know for their hospitality and kindness! It's 95 degrees in Houston today.... we hope our boys will stay HOT in St. Louis tonight!!!! Go Astros!!
