yup, the Yankees are on a role and have completely redeemed themselves. Too bad they couldn't do it in 4 chances during the ALCS (you know, when it mattered).

I'm reborn as a Red Sox fan. Last year, I would have been apoplectic about that game. I've mellowed.. it's a long season. ;)

And I love that ESPN list. SU - Kansas is #2 in my book, though. How about West Virginia - 2 games on the list, both played played in the last 2 weeks.

you still managed to pull off the -worst- -choke- -ever-

and please don't act like it didn't hurt. a lot.

AirKiwi--
Yankees win pennants all the time. If we don't win one year, we always know there WILL be a next time.
Now go cry yourself to sleep on your huge pillow.

Hmmm, wish I had Bob Sheppard around to make this announcement:

Ladies and gentlemen, may I please have your attention. I'm not gonna sit through an entire season of Red Sox graffiti in my comments. What's graffiti? The na-na-na-na-na stuff by AirKiwi that contibutes NOTHING except to be a pest.

Look, I can do that, too. I can go to Sux-lovin' sites and post cracks under every baseball post, wreck every message board thread with more jokes. I don't, because that's kinda dick-ish. So don't do it here.

Okay, I have no stake in the whole Red Sox-Yankees thing (see, my Phils are 1-0 and well on their way to 162-0)... but it does seem like you're a little overly happy about the first game of the season :-)

And you spend a lot of time saying the Red Sox don't matter as you post a lot about the Red Sox :-)

Come on, Paul, everyone loves a rivalry. Don't pretend it doesn't matter to you :-)

I'm not pretending anything. I'm telling everyone that coming in here and posting graffiti is being a dick. So don't do it.

There are plenty of Sux sites and message boards. I'd rather they go play there.

oh i'm sorry, I didn't realize that only pro-Yankee graffiti could be advertised here. you hypocrite.

That's right. My site. My rules.

If you have something to say about Opening Day, something other than than na-na-na-na-na, then go ahead. Otherwise, take the t-shirt slogans somewhere else. Go play with Caple and Simmons and the Dirt Dogs.

Paul's right.

Even if Paul's a hypocrite (and he's not...), he's allowed to be...

IT'S HIS BLOG!!!!!!!!

If you've got something to say, start your own blog. Like me... where I get to extol the virtues of the Philadelphia Phillies!!!!!!!!!

I stumbled across this blog looking for information about GIRLSCHOOL by BRITNY FOX, and decided to stay for all the New York talk.

Being in Philadelphia, I had to watch the game on EPSN. Talk about horrible. They had interviews that went on over the action on the field, had a stupid 7th inning feature called Sound Check, and I think I heard one million times that David Wells likes Babe Ruth (guess they really miss all the curse talk from years before).

EPSN? Obviously, I meant ESPN.

We didn't get the ESPN broadcast here. Instead, the YES network owned the local rights. Even I gag at some of the hyperbole in Michael Kay's pregame monologues, and that's saying something.

His radio show is much more sane, though.

Paul O'Neill is great in the booth, though, because he obviously provides a lot of insight on Torre, Jeter, Bernie, Mo, Tino, etc.

But what I wouldn't give to get Phil Rizzuto in the booth one more time.

I'm unconcerned with early season losses. The Yankees are a bunch of choke artists. They'll find a way to lose it in the end like they always do. The Red Sox, on the other hand, are Champions.

Ah yes, the Scooter... And Bill White and Frank Messer. (god, I'm old). Never liked Fran Healy, Tom Seaver, Dwayne Stats or Al Troutwig.. I actually like the current lineup of broadcasters. (thank god Suzyn Waldman is off of my TV screen as well as Fred Hickman). I'm finding the new "down on the field" chick Kimberly Jones a little blah as well. Maybe it's the blonde hair. ;-)

Larry Birdflu made me laugh. Remember the time the Yankees choked in '98? '61? '27? GAG GAG LOL dey r teh sux

Another fine performance by the Red Sox today, I might add.
