BTW, congrats to the Red Sux (as much as it pains me to say so).

The World Series was so dull that there is, I think, just one thread on the baseball side (what if Ellsbury dropped the ball after flipping it out of his glove during a catch?). Zzzzzz...
Congrats, Chuck. I knew the ALCS was the real series.

I also agree with you that telling the Yankees by fax is not a big deal. Not b/c the Yankees management "deserves respect" or whatever; but b/c everybody knew (or should have known) that he was going to opt out. There wasn't the least possible chance that he was going to stay with the current contract. Why? Two words -- Scott Boras. If anybody in the Yankee front office thought that Boras would let A-Rod stay in that contract, then they still believe in the Easter Bunny, too.

From a ratings perspective, I know that it's better to have a longer series, but I thought the games were not boring.

I was listening to the radio this morning, and the commentators said the Red Sox are the new Yankees. They are now the class team of baseball; they are the ones getting the right players, spending the money the right way, and winning championships.
Chuck, do you consider that a compliment or a slight jab?

Then I thought that might not show the appropriate amount of empathy for his Yankees completely bombing in the postseason. So maybe a nice visit from an "angel of mercy" during the night might be more comforting: But then I decided I was just in too good a mood to let anything he says bother me today. So. . . never mind!!!

I have to admit that the l'il feller just reeks of empathy. |

On the other side, however, they also showcased a lot home-grown talent this year -- Pedroia, Ellsbury, Papelbon; and have their share of well-researched bargains (Ortiz was a steal at the time of his acquisition). I think there's some truth in the Yankees comparison, and I don't personally like it. But I think there's enough that distinguishes the Sox that I can still consider them the good guys.
