Wolfman, am I happy about the outcome against the D-Rays this season? Of course not. Am I worried? Yea, but just a little bit. Do I CARE that A-Rod and Mussina make more than the entire TB payroll? Not at all. Do us all a favor and look at the AL East standings. The Sox have a nice streak going and are only 0.5 games behind Baltimore. But can you honestly say that either of those two teams have a \'safe\' lead in the Division when the Yankees and Blue Jays are both within 5 games? A 5 game lead with more than half a season left is by no means safe for comfort, I don\'t care what teams you are, how many \'superstars\' are on the team, how high the payroll is, or how long the average hair length is. But, hey, if you believe the Yankees fans should shut up and wait until next year, can you do me a favor and let me know when, exactly, I should be saying "wait \'till next year", and when this season is over, can you let me know, exactly, when to start saying "This is THE year, this is our year!". I know you and "Red Sox Nation" :lol: have had plenty of practice at it.
