Funny how we just can't seem to get rid of each other...this is how it was meant to be I guess.

Forget the homefield, I'm not happy that the Yanks have to play Anaheim...gonna be tough to win that one.

But they have to so we can have another Yanks/Sox ALCS.

God bless the Sox...the Yanks/Sox rivalry is the best in sports; baseball would suck without it.

Yeppers.

I can't believe that I want the Yankees to win anything, but I really want them to get past the Los Angeles, Orange County, Southern California Angels of Anaheim, Disneyland, West Coast, United States of America, North America, Western Hemisphere, Earth.

It would suck to have to watch an ALCS that the games wouldn't start until almost 11:00p.m.

Of course, if its Sox / Yanks, Fox still won't let the damn games start until after 8:00 anyway....

If it is a west coast series, there is always TIVO. That way- you get up extra early before you hear who won, "doot-doot" through the commercials while drinking your coffee, then head off to work! You net out ahead in the sleep category that way.

No Tivo. No time for coffee or TV in general trying to get the 5 yr. old ready for school.

The networks could have some consideration for us "Right-Coasters."

Figuring a 3 hour game...extra early should be about 4:30am.... but again, even with a vcr it could be done- fast forward during the spitting and scratching and pitcher changes, you could move it right along and still make the bus.

No kids for you, eh? :wink:

Sorry, not changing my mind. Network bias to the left-coast bugs the crap outta me....

If it weren't for the wildcard the Sox would have regained the choking title this season after a 1 year hiatus.

Oh, I don't know...The Islanders and the Rangers in the 80's was pretty intense...
No one outside of NY cares about either of those teams though. It wouldn't bother me to never see either one of them play again.

And, although unfortunate, most of this country doesn't care about hockey.

Oh come now...you have to admit it is the best rivalry ever in sports.

Oh Jim, I admit that it is the best rivalry......It still doesn't mean that God should bless the sox! Notice I said I agree with everything exept that? :idea:

I'd be careful with my comments until November gentlemen. You only have a few weeks left as world champs, whether the Yanks win it or not.

My point was that without the Sox, baseball would be so boring I wouldn't even care about it. So, God bless 'em!
