Hell, if that wasn't an amazing game. Tough matchup, nice pitching by Pedro "Old Man Blocker" Martinez, great save by Mo' and a doozy of a home run by Aaron Boone (pictured, above, at left, going home to teammates; photo - NY Times). Now, it's the Fish.

Hey, look! Gothamist personals! Sounds familiar...
Grady Little is an idiot.
Aw, Kyle, I know you're hurting, but Pedro wanted to stay in. What could Grady do?
And Frankenstein, we try to respond to a few reader requests now and then.
poor boston... alas, "boone swoon" is sweeping the nation... it's what all the kids are talking about.
Aaron Boone, kind of attractive. Who knew?
I'm so tired of this.
Oh well, since the Yankees won the "Real World Series," I'll just skip the sweep by the Marlins.
Is it okay to hate the city of boston, love NYC, and yet be so damn sick of the Yankees that I rooted for the team from the hometown that I hate? Does this make sense? Does any of it?
Nice NY Post editorial today...
my dad was raised in the bronx, so i always assumed he was a yankees fan. the other day, we were in the car, and i said "hey, pops- i hear the yanks are doing pretty well this season- you think they'll make it to the world series?" he responded: "who the fuck cares- rooting for the yankees these days is like rooting for donald trump- it makes me sick." so that was that.
gosh, women are so superficial! Here are people caught up in this epic struggle and all you can see is a cute ass??? ;) Well, I guess you're not alone. The daily news, in the Thersday (Women's special interest) section, called Boone "fast and foxy".

Grady's job as manager is to make the decisions that will lead his team to victory. Not to go out to the mound and ask his superstar pitcher how much he has left in the tank. Do you actually think Pedro would say "I'm tired, put in someone from the bullpen." Hellz No. Grady should have taken the ball from him and told him he'd be pitching again in 4 days. Idiot. Somewhere Bill Buckner is smiling.
And Jen, that Aaron Boone comment is just the final nail in the coffin. Argh!
Heh, if only you knew my categorization of the "cute" Yankees. I'll also add that on United's in-flight programming just now, they showed a Last Call with Carson Daly (boo!) with a very smoking Angelina Jolie.
This whole "Pedro wanted to stay in" thing reminds me of Jim Palmer and his nemesis, Earl Weaver. Earl went to the mound to take Palmer out, and Palmer said something like, "Forget it, Earl. I'm not tired. I'm staying in." Earl said, "Well, then, you're going to look pretty silly standing here while someone else is pitching."
By the way, Jen, Jim Palmer did some pretty hot underwear ads (actually, pretty embarrassing is more like it).
OK, who's up for a Red Sox-Cubs consolation World Series? Somehow, I'm sure they would both lose.
