I still wish the Cubbies and Sox hadn't melted down in the final hours when it mattered. That's one thing you can say about the Yankees, like 'em, love 'em, hate 'em, but they don't choke very often. I will always remember 1995 when the Mariners upset them. One of my fondest sport moments and the reason Seattle kept the Mariners here. ]]> 24767@blogcritics.org Thu, 23 Oct 2003 10:29:26 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2003/10/17/134214.php#comment-23846 You are correct that was a quantum level of beauty higher because it was for the Tribe ]]> 23846@blogcritics.org Fri, 17 Oct 2003 14:59:33 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2003/10/17/134214.php#comment-23845 Gonzalez's blooper off Rivera is second only to 1997 when Sandy Alomar Jr. brought a tear to my eye in the bottom of the ninth to be the first to seemingly EVER get to Rivera. ]]> 23845@blogcritics.org Fri, 17 Oct 2003 14:56:06 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2003/10/17/134214.php#comment-23837 Sing it my NEO brother!! There hasn't been as much concerted Yankee hating lately because they haven't won it the last two years, and when Luis Gonzalez hit that blooper to beat that smug fuck Rivera in Game 7 of 2002 I danced down the street tossing flowers in my wake, and of course I don't care anymore about the D-backs than I do about any other team I neither love not hate. And when they didn't even make it to the Series last year it was manna from heaven. But now they are back to the Series, and their vile rapacious, voracious ways - exactly as you describe them - are again rammed down the nation's throat. I say bring on the cap, level the playing field, kick The Boss in the balls a few times and get those monopolistic sacks of VD-crust out of my face. ]]> 23837@blogcritics.org Fri, 17 Oct 2003 14:34:54 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2003/10/17/134214.php#comment-23824 because I'm a bigger Phillies fan than Cleveland fan. by far. And Thome left to be with a better team. ]]> 23824@blogcritics.org Fri, 17 Oct 2003 14:22:19 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2003/10/17/134214.php#comment-23822 How could you be a Philly fan with Thome having gone there? Or is that WHY you are a Philly fan? I can't root for guys after they leave my team for more money. It reminds me too much of why I hate this game sometimes. ]]> 23822@blogcritics.org Fri, 17 Oct 2003 14:20:37 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2003/10/17/134214.php#comment-23815 As an Indians fan AND a Phillies fan, there is no worse team in the world than the Marlins right now, which is why I must sadly choose to root for the Yanks. ]]> 23815@blogcritics.org Fri, 17 Oct 2003 14:02:50 EDT
