The Yankees should just call Ortiz their daddy. :)

Don't get yer hopes up, Sox fans....the curse is just playing with you....

You gotta admit, the last 2 games have been interesting. You know the Yankees just wanted to get the series back to da Bronx so they could wind it at home.

The whole series should have been like these last two games. Not just that the Sox won the last two, but the level of play has been soooooooooooo much better. More fun to watch, aside from being almost six hours long!

Mariano was placed in an almost-impossible save situation. But if you're the greatest post-season closer ever, I guess you're expected to do the almost-impossible.

The part about last night that was so amazing was going almost four hours with no score in either game. My poor bored husband missed every single touchdown in the football game, to watch no one score for four hours!

And he's a better man for it. :) Scoreless football is a boring game of punts and field position. Scoreless baseball is a tense, exciting pitchers' (or in this case, bullpens') duel.

Don't get me wrong, I like football. I love my Superbowl-Champion, NFL-consecutive-game-winning-streak-holding, Patriots (gearing up for a battle of undefeateds against the Jets this week). But there is nothing like a great post-season pitching matchup.

I think almost any pro sport is more interesting during the last few rounds of play-off and championship. I don't watch much the rest of the season. Although, I like the occasional football game on Monday evening, between bouts of homework and dishes. Uh... homework help...

I can't believe that nobody has mentioned that the NBA season tips off tonight. What could people be watching instead?!?!

Jeez, what schedule was I looking at???? Preseason continues for over a week. I just didn't see the "preseason" tag on the Celtics score. Duh.

NYPD Blue, ... while holding the remote. :)

Damn umpires!

Got both of them right.

I thought it was interesting that the commentators were so surprised...

An absolutely unbelieva le series. How come when both teams play well, Boston wins in a thriller; but when both teams play poorly, the Yankees win easily?

It just isn't a baseball game without the NYPD task force complete with Riot Gear :D

I agree, it's been unbelieva le.

BTW, this is before my tme but if Boston does win it will be a lot like the series Pittsburgh won in...1960? NY crushed them in 3 games, lost 4 close ones including the final on a walk off home run by Bill Mazeroski.

BTW2 - how many of us as kids dreamed of being at the plate or on the mound with a full count, 2 outs, bottom of the 9th, 2 on and down by 3 during the biggest game of the year? I know I did. :)

Dang space ar.

Yup. I feel a little bad for Tony Clark. . . but only a little. Tony was with the Sox for a year after his monster season in Detroit. Everybody says he's a superb person, that he's likeable, etc. He just had a miserable year in Boston. I wish him all the best in his career -- starting next February.
