AAU scrimmage, boys 16U or 17U, between qtrs I'm making
small talk with the visitors. I get around to asking
when his next tourney is, he says this weekend in Boston.
"Cool," sez I, "where in Boston you gonna be?"
"Uhmmm, I think it's the Boston in Massachusetts" was the
kid's reply.
"Great! Have fun!" I said.

I know of several New Boston's and there is a South Boston in Virginia, but to me Boston means, Mass.

We've got a little farm community about 15 miles from where I live called "Boston".Got about 20 houses and a general store.They haven't won a World Series in the last hundred years or so,either.

-Couldn't help it!
NYORK!NYORK!NYORK!

This just hit me!Bosox go 120-42,win the 1st playoff round,beat the Yankees in the ALCS,go up 3-0 in the World Series with a rested Pedro Martinez due to pitch--and the players go on STRIKE or we get a LOCKOUT!Could happen.

You can put your mind at rest. They ain't gonna beat the Yankees. The same thing was said last year about the Mariners kicking the Yankees' butt and you see what happened.

YANKEES! Best team "money can buy".

Jurassic:

You wouldn't be that lucky, the BOSOX would go up 3 to 0 and eventually end up losing the series.

Yanks for life.

Is it any wonder that people hate the Yankees and their fans so much?

There once was a man from Boston,
Who drove a little red Austin,
There was room for his ***
and a gallon of gas,
But his balls hung out and he lost 'em!

Up here in Canada we have a donut chain called Tim Horton's. They have a very popular donut called a Boston Creme.

I bet the Boston Creme has never won a World Series either!
