but as soon as the indians tied the game in the 8th, i knew i wouldn\'t be doing that. i knew the indians would win the game - it was just a matter of when.
^ ^ ^ What you are looking at, ladies and gentlemen, are the long-term ramifications of the events of 2004. From 1919-2003, only a Red Sox fan would talk that way. You would never hear a Yankee fan talk like that, though that\'s all you would ever hear from a Sox fan. Meanwhile, while Dave was typing that post, I sat watching the Red Sox playing a very close postseason game, knowing that the Red Sox were going to win - it was just a matter of when. Oh my god how the times have changed.
I was in a big bar in Boston for 6 hours tonight (7:30-1:30) with about 300 people, and I gotta say the place was pretty electric. First the Yankees lose a walkoff around 9pm with the Sox in the 2nd inning, then 3.5 hours later the Sox win a walkoff on one of the most colossal home runs I have ever seen. Thanks, Manny. Great, great call by me and my friends going out all night. No better place to be than a packed Boston bar tonight.
One more thing for Yankee fans, and I\'m not being a punk here...it\'s not as hard as it sounds to come back. Coming back sounds like it\'s really tough, but in fact it\'s only just tough, not "very". I know because the Sox have come back to win LDS series twice after going down 0-2, while I don\'t think the Yankees have ever been down 0-2 in an LDS, so take it from a Sox fan. You\'ve got to win 3 games, 2 at home. And if you get those two at home, the other team is reeling badly by game 5 and all the momentum is on your side and yeah they\'re at home but all the pressure\'s on them and they\'re scared as hell and so are their fans at the game. It\'s already happened a bunch of times besides the Sox doing it twice. I\'m not counting the Yankees out at all. I wouldn\'t lay even money on them winning the series, but for a mere 2:1 payout I\'d lay $100 on the Yankees winning the series.
