He left in a pretty bad atmosphere, and he deserves a standing ovation.<BR/>- Foxsports really hate the Sox. Cases in point: http://msn.foxsports.com/mlb/story/7364390<BR/>I mean, come on, Rosenthal. You say yourself that you don't think Mitchell is biased, but that it will be perceived like that. Of course it will be perceived like that- have you read your own article? That's the way twisted perception is created.<BR/>http://msn.foxsports.com/mlb/story/7361486<BR/>Mark Kriegel, whoever that is, with a supposedly positive, but hate-filled article on the Sox' win.<BR/>I will say that it tickled me a little when Dayn Perry (who isn't so bad) wrote, as reason #1 for why the Sox are gonna win: They are the better team.<BR/>- What do they do with Dane Cook's annoyingness if the Series goes into November? Huh? 'There's only 1/30th of November'?<BR/>- Strange moment: can you guess what song they put on after the last out of game 7, in the very Spider-oriented bar I watched the game in? Tessie. Weird shit.<BR/>- Post game interviews suck. I don't see any reason to watch those again. Obvious questions, obvious answers, the players look like they just want to be out of there... although Francona is entertaining.<BR/>- 'Team of destiny' my ass- I voted for Sox in 4.Oferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06694754589627325588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730822.post-71617206229722202532007-10-23T07:44:00.000-07:002007-10-23T07:44:00.000-07:00Dear Ken Rosenthal:Byrd pitched Game 4 -- and won ...Dear Ken Rosenthal:<BR/><BR/>Byrd pitched Game 4 -- and won -- which was before this all came out.<BR/><BR/>He did not pitch in Game 5 -- which Boston won.<BR/><BR/>He did not pitch in Game 6 -- which Boston won.<BR/><BR/>He did not pitch in Game 7 -- which Boston won.<BR/><BR/>There is no story here.allanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04673233312198832937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730822.post-84992478850512342632007-10-23T07:36:00.000-07:002007-10-23T07:36:00.000-07:00http://msn.foxsports.com/mlb/story/7365076?forum_k...http://msn.foxsports.com/mlb/story/7365076?forum_key=StoryComments&topic_key=7365076&page_no=32<BR/><BR/>It gets better guys. Now Fux (not a typo might I clarify) Sports and Ken Rosenthal just can't seem to finally be able to praise the Sox for once. Now they have to try and say another New England franchise is "cheating" or using favoritism. This is what I cannot fucking stand about the rest of the MLB, sports writers, and the fandom. For God's sake give us some fucking credit! We won, we're a good team, and we don't cheat! Fuck you Rosenthal and fuck anyone who thinks we buy our way to World Series or "cheat" like the Patriots DID.Colinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02298405914319519000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730822.post-33986783035472439682007-10-23T07:12:00.000-07:002007-10-23T07:12:00.000-07:00Oh, and here's a link for a story and video on LBJ...Oh, and here's a link for a story and video on <A HREF="http://www.boston.com/sports/baseball/redsox/articles/2007/10/23/hes_fast_becoming_a_favorite/?rss_id=Boston.com+--+Red+Sox+News" REL="nofollow"><BR/>LBJ </A> Wouldn't want Laura to miss it!Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15720293202890878993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730822.post-17130532691971663862007-10-23T07:03:00.000-07:002007-10-23T07:03:00.000-07:00There were a couple of good stories at boston.com ...There were a couple of good stories at boston.com today about the 2004 team.
