  1. As a lifelong Pirates fan I must say that both the Yanks and Sox represent the same evil empire and hopefully both teams will lose game 7 thereby allowing the Astros and Cardinals play the real World Series!
    Football? Bah! Sports greatest socialist experiment I say!

  2. Frank,
    Junior Varsity? Pullllllleeeeeeezze….
    NL don’t need no steeeeekinnnnnnng DH for washed up power hitters. You are on the dark side…..
    Strategy makes baseball. BTW i’m for the BOSOX … Bill Buckner broke my heart when they lost to the syphlitic pond scum NYM.

    Hi this is Risasi,
    I have been a die hard Braves fan from 1990 to 2002, and then became a Twins fan for last year’s season.
    I came the the conclusion that it was time to cheer for an AL team this year. I chose the New York Yankees. Rather than continue to fight the losing battle, I decided it was time to join the true winners. I will be cheering for the Yankee’s tonight. So you can all rest easier.
    Terry Francona: Something dark and sinister lies within this fellow, we managed to hire him into rooting for the Yanks this season. And as you can see with his track record he’s good. He will be a free agent again next year. What ever you do, just don’t have him cheer for us next year.

  4. Baseball? BASEBALL?! Geez, why don’t we all go take some swings on the cricket pitch or something. Baseball sucks almost that bad. It’s a shame really, because I remember loving baseball as a kid. Now, after all the lockouts, strikes, greed, cheating controversies and whatnot, I really could care less most of the time. Don’t get me wrong, I think the Sox and the Yanks playing for the ALCS is cool. I think the Astros playing for the NLCS is cool. But twenty years ago, I would have cared a lot more. Once upon a time, baseball really was the American pasttime. Kids dreamed of playing in the majors when they grew up. That might still happen in some places, but not around here anymore. Most kids I know couldn’t care less. They’re far more interested in basketball or football or shudder metric football. Hopefully baseball will make a resurgence. Maybe something crazy like a Red Sox penant would help that along.

  5. Devoted Yankees Fan since 1976.
    I’m rooting for them because I want to. It has nothing to do with any of that “destiny” crap. Also, don’t insist that God is a fan of either team. God has better things to do than to worry about our little games. Just ask Kurt Warner.
    “If you can stand up for your faith when you’re on top, you can stand up for it now that you’re at the bottom.”

  6. Actually, saying that nobody has won from a 3-0 deficit is false – my Jays lost their first ALCS run in ’85 after being up 3-0(yeah, it was before I was born, but so what?)
    And I’m rooting for a Red Sox-Astros WS, for a) the irony of it exactly paralleling the Presidential race, b) the fact that that means the Yankees are dead, and c) the fact that the Red Sox being in the Series means that I know in advance who will win it. Though my sense of irony tells me that it’ll be won by the Astros 4-3 on a call that BoSox fans will dispute for years to come, despite the fact thatt he umpire was right…
    Oh, and to all those people dissing baseball, you have no soul.

  7. As a Braves fan since 1980 (Dale Murphy for HOF) and a suffering Braves fan since 1995 (can’t we just skip the playoff part and go straight to the WS?) I have no choice but to root for the Sox.
    Oh yeah, and my undying hatred for the Yankees who are the embodiment of Satan and his minions.
    GO SOX!!!

  8. My name is John Kerry and I approve of this message* Cut to John Kerry walking across Lambert Field
    Kerry:
    Tonight my home Team the Boston Red sox will face an epic battle to break the curse of the bambono against the New York Giants.
    As a senator I voted 8,412 times for the Red Sox’s to beat the New York mets and as President I will break the curse of the baboni.
    As President I will make sure the Red Sox defense will never be under funded, and I will never give veto power to the National football league conference.
    As President I will fight the war against steroids but I will not act preemptively without passing a global sports center test.
    The President has misled the Redsoxs and their fans into the wrong game at the wrong time at the wrong place.
    Under our current leadership Boston will be a failure tonight because The President has made them work unilaterally to play against other teams.
    So I say hope is on the Way
    Go Boston beat the Knicks.
    I’m John Kerry and I approve of this message* Fade…

  9. Has no-one gotten the pattern yet? this is what the Yankees do, they wait until the other team gets their hopes up, then crushes them in a final, last strike rally that brings down the house. Besides, in addition to Frank’s correct assertion that
    “No one comes back from 3-0!”
    There is also this fact:
    1918!
    LET’S GO YANKEES!

  10. No matter what happens, this world series will be between two teams a majority of the country don’t give a damn about.
    Or maybe I’m just bitter because the Braves kick their own ass almost every year they make it to the playoffs…

  11. I am a devoted yankee fan for life, but this series has made me cringe (as well as stay up later than I should on a school night). In some ways, I think if the Yankees lose, it’s what they deserve… On the other hand, I hate the bosox and long live the curse. Hopefully they lose in the 13th inning tonight on a walkoff home run by Aaron Boone -, er I how about Bubba Crosby.

  12. It appears that boston is whooping some serious booty on the yankees tonight. Guess we can go ahead and toss out the history books. Next year, we’ll have a subway series, in chicago (they do have subways, right?), and thus both curses will be broken. Of course, after the yankees will proceed to win 3 straight series and we’ll be back to normal.

  13. yeah, frank, and we didn’t need the Revolutionary War, either.
    how about a new feature:
    “Other Predictions I have made that were really, really, really stupid.”
    p.s.
    unfortunately, i made the same prediction to my daughter. boy, do i feel really, really, really stupid.
