2. Good guys?
Ha! The Sox are a bunch of bums and babies. And their star pitcher likes to throw old men down on the field for kicks.

4. Ha! Ha!
Yeah....Pedro the Punk.
He's a real tough guy, huh?

It was so sad to see him get beaten in Toronto yesterday.
Just devastating. :cry:

13. Who instigated that fight?
I seem to remember Zimmer charging at Pedro, not the other way around.

All things considered, I thought Pedro handled the situation as well as could be expected. Ugly, yes. Unpleasant, yes. And unnecessary (that pitch to Manny wasn't anywhere near his head- I'll admit that too).

But Yankees fans make out like Pedro pulled a Kermit Washington on Zimmer. Let it go, man.

5. How does trashing the Sox jinx Kerry?
C'mon, now, you can't expect a Yanks fan to hold back, because you guys sure as hell wouldn't.

16. You're right, he did
And Pedro should have been man enough to either keep him at bay or get around him, not throw him to the ground.

14. Zimmer charged Pedro
Not the other way around. And Pedro put him down to the ground without injuring or hitting him. Pedro could have punched his teeth out instead, the way Zimmer was running head first at him.

17. Sox Survivor
Great analysis from The Sports Guy (ESPN.com)





Rob's loss to Amber makes him the perfect poster child for Red Sox Nation.

Q: While being subjected to the "Survivor All-Stars" finale last weekend, I couldn't help but think that it could have turned out to be one of the greatest moments on television if Amber were to win the vote and the million, then pull out a Yankees hat and tell Boston Rob that she used him the entire time.
--Ted Schneider, Seattle

SG: I like how you said it would have been "one of the greatest moments on television." I'm pretty sure that never would have been topped. By the way, what were the odds that the diehard Red Sox fan would end up losing 4-3 -- the same way the Sox lost in the '46, '75 and '86 World Series, as well as the 2003 ALCS -- then be credited for dominating the game all season and outwitting everybody, even though he fell just short in the end? This has all the makings of Dan Shaughnessy's next depressing book.
