As per usual....
Well it's happened again. After holding first place since the middle of July the Red Sox have found a way to relinquish first place to the hated Yankees. Worst of all they gave it to them. The Sox were up 4-3 in the top of the 8th against the pathetic Devil Rays who will never be anything more than a spoiler in September. Yet the Sox were able to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory with Timlin giving up 4 runs. SICKENING. David Ortiz can't hit a home run to win the game every night can he? Anyway...
I did learn something interesting that makes me hate the Yankees even more while reading '1776' today. "Yankee" was actually a term referring to a New York loyalist. In other words if you were a yankee you were working against the sons of liberty. Much like today if you are a Yankeee, or a Yankees fan, you are working against the good of baseball.
(This is of course a gut reaction, and should be taken as such. I am confident that the Red Sox will take 2 of 3 from the Yankees in the final weekend of the season and the Yankees will sit at home this October.)

I'll be rooting for the BSox on Monday night from "near" the front row!! Don't worry - I'll take photos, and my BSox hat is in my suitcase...
Schweet. Tell Dan I said hello.
I didn't think a team like the Red Sox could play the part of the Royals so well...
i agree. 1st of all, i don't think think the ownership would stand for it (90% of the Royals problem), and second the fans wouldn't stand for it.
