To the boston fans i have nothing but respect for the red sox for the way they battled each and every game including against oakland, You guys never gave up and thats what teamwork is all about, I had alot of respect for pedro and manny before this series but now i just can't help but say there sore losers.





Actually, the Yanks have THE highest payroll in MLB. They pay to play. Cap their salary to about 3/4 of what it is now, you won't see them win another series for a hundred years.

You "had" a lot of respect for Pedro and Manny? What'd they do? Pedro lost control on a pitch to Garcia. What, you think that was legit? If Pedro wanted to hit him, he would have made damn sure to hit him where it mattered most, not gone high and outside off the bat. Oh, what, he threw geriatric Don Zimmer to the side? Would you have rathered Pedro punch him in the face instead of do the smart thing? Please, it could have been much worse. Manny flipping out on Clemens for that pitch? No, the pitch wasn't close. But, Clemens has the second highest number of hit batsmen, right behind Randy Johnson. He's known as something of a headhunter, and honestly I'm surprised I haven't see him severely beaten because of that. Yeah, Manny overreacted, but, Clemens' reputation earned him that one.

Like I said in the other thread, the Sox played the better game. Management blew that game, that's it, that's all, thank you.
