Well, they're acutely aware of that - they know the Cards are now where they themselves were just days ago and they're not going to relax at this point. Last night's game was almost . . . sedate, if such a word can be applied to a Series match. It was a quiet game. But the Sox...

Yeah, the sportswriters are all saying it's just plain fatigue with the Cardinals; one wrote that they "look gassed" already. But we'll see, a day's break and home field should help, and it may well go to seven games. Great stuff no matter what happens. There's been a lot of really good...

Yes, exactly - my glasses have saved my eyes countless times from all sorts of stuff - splashing bleach, exploding car battery acid, flying woodchips and splinters, metal shavings. The best thing glasses ever did for me was during an accident I had in which my face met road pavement at 55 mph...

SOXSOXSOX Schilling, with his actual red sock from his bleeding tendon, that'll go down in baseball lore. Most newspapers were carrying a photo of that today, that's twice now he's pitched in that condition. They've got it basically stapled onto his ankle till the Series is over and he can...

The idea of that procedure scares the daylights out of me. Lots of successes but it can also go horribly wrong. I'll stick with glasses. :concern: :concern: :concern:

I know it, good thing, it's just this steam coming out of my ears I have trouble with. Tough to hide. :D :D :D

That's what I mean, there are two schools of theory where the Curse is concerned. Some feel it was finished with the Yanks playoff, some won't feel it's done till the Sox have a Series win. All the serious sports analysts are saying Sox in seven games. I respect both teams, they've both worked...

There is no breathing going on out here when the subject of Buckner comes up. No breathing. I should clarify my Curse comments in that - it does/did very much exist, just as the Cubbies' curse does; it was an actual curse thrown upon the Sox, but I think curses only gain active currency if...

They would have done BETTER to have had Bill BARETTA out there with PEPE in his hand to grab the BALL that day. Oh, man, the pain, the pain. :grouchy: :grouchy: :grouchy:

There have always been two interpretations of The Curse - the Yankee-specific one I put forward earlier, and the one that you cite. Sportswriters over the years have been split pretty much 50-50 in their interpretation - on the Thursday after Game 7 more than 50% were writing that the Curse was...

To Docnhosz - (sp sorry) - ROFLROFL. Your In-Law Endurance Award is in the mail. :D :sympathy: :D

We do not mention Bill B******'s name in these parts. Ahem. Anyways. The Curse is specific to the Sox/Yankees, it didn't apply to any other matches with other teams. Notice I now employ the PAST TENSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! A lot of New Yorkers believed in it fervently over the years and are lamenting...

SSSOOOXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX OH MY GOD. Muley just sprang us all, half of Massachusetts ended up in jail for celebrating last night, won't say if I was among them lol. How sweet it is. Out here, this is as good as the Series for us. THIS was what we've been...

LOL. :cool: :cool: :cool:

LINK for V.P. :cool: :cool: :cool:

Did they do that? What did they do, storm the field? That's terrible. I like the Cubs too - Sox have my first loyalty always but there are other teams I like and do root for when the Sox aren't in the playoffs. I was rabid about the Orioles for years, when they were a good club with some...

SOXSOXSOXSOXSOXSOXSOXSOXSOXSOXSOXSOXSOX. I will be arrested for dancing in the street tonight, and Muley will have to come spring me. SOXSOXSOXSOXSOXSOXSOXSOXSOXSOXSOXSOXSOX. :excited: :excited: :excited:

haaaaaahaaaaaaaaaaaahaaaaaaahaaaaaaaahaaaaahaaa ROFL :D :D :D

He is referred to as The Breck Girl in political, journalistic, legal, and private D.C. circles of all parties. (Breck was a highly popular women's shampoo in the 1960s whose T.V. and print ads featured extremely stylized artists' colored-pencil portraits of women with relatively...

Now now. We're insane right now around here. I was talking to a checkout kid in a store tonight (kid, 28 maybe), all anybody can talk about is the Sox (a ****uva NICE CHANGE from the election, the wars, politics and ******* terrorists) and we were fantasizing about a Sox World Series win. I...
