Boston Sucks
I am not being facetious here, or trying to taunt. This is simply the truth of the matter - Boston sucks. I am talking, in particular, about the Boston Red Sox (although the Boston subway leaves something to be desired).
Last Friday, the New York Yankees came to Boston. They saw. They conquered.
A brief recap for posterity, if you will. Friday morning: 12-4, New York. Not even close. Friday afternoon: 14-11, New York. Damon hits (another) home run. Saturday: 13-5, New York. Posada hits a triple, and Bernie hits a home run. For a moment, I thought they were replaying highlights from the 1998 season. Sunday: rain, rain, go away, let the Yankees win today. And after a minor delay, 8-5, New York. This was close, and I was skeptical after Mussina left the game. But Giambi(no) came through with two home runs. Monday: 2-1, New York, in the closest game of the series.
Of course, I can write something about how the Red Sox may not even make the wildcard this season. But there is still all of September to go, and I am not one to make such optimistic speculations about the AL East. Plus, that wouldn't be as fun as noting that my New York-centric fantasy of a Subway World Series does not seem so improbable anymore.

i've been having fun reading redsox blogs this afternoon.
yea, only too bad now that the yankees are winning, the mets are about to enter the realm of the suck (glavine got a boo boo). i don't think your fantasy has much substance.
Well I don't know much about the Redsox, but Boston is definitely a place I'd like to visit.
excuse me, who is that pitching for the mets? what's going on? i go to canada for a week, and come back to something very strange.
Jay, you make it sound like Canada is still in the dark ages (we all know that to be true about New Jersey).
And today - Mets - who do we love? Car-los! Which one? Both! Woo!
Cheer up.
yes the mood here was sad.
