As a Yankee fan I want to congratulate the Boston Red Sox and their fans
You guys played amazingly and were a pleasure to watch. I would have liked the games to be more challenging but if the Yankees were sweeping the way you did I wouldn't complain.

So good on ya Sox! Enjoy the feeling - I know it's been a long time coming.

1. thank you
question for you, are you upset about a-rod or are you happy to see his no hit in the playoff ass leave town.

2. I would have liked him to stay
He's going to break records and I would have liked to see him do it in pinstripes. I just hope that any team that signs him knows that the team he really plays for wears green.

10. No one's going into work today in Boston.
Which means no one's coming on DU either. If I still lived there, I'd be out sick today too.

19. I'm just glad they swept it.
Not because of the idea of sweeping the series, but because it means no more late nights.

Looking fwd to cheering on your Yanks come AAA and Spring Training here.

23. Beautiful words
graciously spoken. As a White Sox fan married to (but separated from, but still like) a Red Sox fan, allow me to chime in.

24. Thank you very much
It's always been the greatest baseball rivalry between the Bosox and Yanks, but a friendly one at that. Opening day in 6 months. See you then.

To many more exciting Sox/Yankee games! They are by far my favorite, even when we come out on the bottom.

47. That's always been my problem
I'm from southern CT, too. (We got there in '75. Thanks, Mom! :P ) We kept moving from town to town, edging up towards that invisible line... the kicker was my time at therapeutic boarding school (!), well east of NH, and with a roommate from East Providence to boot! That was when I officially became "bi-curious"... actually, years earlier, I remember shopping at a store in Westport that had Yankee Franks and Fenway Franks (the exact same frank, from the same company) right next to each other!
