Of course they would think that. They forget the fact that they went 7-20 in the month of September and the pitching was god awful. I think it was a bad idea to let Tito go. He's a great manager and should have not taken the fall for this. I would love the have him for my Mets but we picked up Terry collins for another year.

Them ain't my words yo. I haven't been on crack since 1999. Its just the hype that was created around the Bo-Sux back in the summer with media hailing them and everybody picking them to win the Series and the dudes who didn't, they picked them to get to the Series. They can all suck it and keep on sucking it now. @I.Tris or whoever made the point that they'd rather face the horrific sox than the Rays, good point bro.
Rainout. Game will be played on Sunday instead. The game will continue from the bottom of the second tomorrow. Teams have to use the same lineups. and F YOU BUD SELIG

Robinson Cano last night's hero -- 2 doubles, a grand slam, 6 RBIs. I guess batting third agrees with him! But what was with that 9th inning? Mo brought in to close it down with a bases-loaded strikeout. Afternoon action today!

We're kind of screwed. Have to beat the best pitcher in the AL in his own ballpark and then win with Burnett.
If there was one day when CC needs to stand up and put the whole team on his back, its tomorrow. We needs the W. I believe in our horse. CC's gonna do it yo. I believe.
