Red Sox fans have become completely insufferable and everything they always hated in Yankee fans. You can't make a comment about anything anymore without a reference to last October. Jeter's walk-off homerun? "Where was he last October?" Matsui's unbelievable start to the season? "Where was he in games 5-7?" I guess it's tough to act like you've been there before when you haven't, but whatever. They're the sports equivalent of Schiavo... everyone was enamored with their suffering, and now that it's over their story just seems to get bigger and more annoying.

Seems like it's also tough to act like you've won the first 2 games of the season before. Especially when it looks like Manny is completely unaware that they're playing for real now. In his defense, technically it is still Spring and he is training. The real news out of Spring Training is that Rashad Anderson will be back for a record 73rd year at UCONN next season.

I am a Sox fan and a frequent reader of this site and I wanted to chime in to say that not all Sox fans are as "insufferable" as you say. I personally hate hearing the Yankees Suck cheer at Fenway park or just about anywhere else (Pats victory parade, Aerosmith concert, etc.) And, no, I have NEVER participated. I see the "rivalry" for what it's worth - entertainment. You win some, you lose some (Yankee fans, insert joke here). Also to Paul's point about Jeter, I have never liked him but have always respected him. How can you not? He is a true Yankee (unlike A-Rod, RJ, Giambi, etc. in my opinion). Just wanted to let you know we're not all crazy.....

I respect that. I have a bunch of friends who are Mets and Sox fans. We have a lot of laughs.

It seems like Tanyon Sturtze would have a better chance against the Red Sox than Mariano Rivera right now. He (Mo) needs to get his act together against Boston.

Personally, I loved seeing our beloved Captain hit the three bags, then touch home yesterday at the game. Ahhh, breathe in... breathe out.. He has CLASS oozing out all over the place. As for Bernie and Tino, My fingers are tightly crossed for the both of them this season . They have always started off slow. I think Bernie will have a good season............ Thanks so much for Piper's Pit! Reminds me of Saturday mornings watching WOR (channel 9 in NY). And it was also nice hearing Mean Gene's voice in the background. I still have memories of Cindy Lauper and Captain Lou. (Captain Lou lives in Carmel NY, I grew up in Mahopac NY, used to Cap'Lou all over the place, still in his hawaiian shirt, flip flops and facial rubber bands - he's a nice man). As for the Caveman wedding photos.. OOFAH! I'm scared!

I have been a Pacers fan all my life. I grew up on the North side of Indianapolis. Some of my favorite memories of the Pacers and Reggie are against the Knicks. I grew up despising Ewing and Starks. Those games were always the greatest, and now there will be no more.

I was at the Knicks game last night. Although the Knicks got pounded, I still enjoyed the game.
I like Reggie...it is always sad when a great player is leaving the game, but it makes room for some up-and-comers.
uh...that was not meant to sound dirty, but I like it!

7-3 Red Sox. There goes that undefeated season. Mariano Rivera choked like you wouldn't believe, which means the New York press is going to be on his ass for the next couple of days. Even the Yankees fans booed him today.

Obviously Rivera wasn't very impressive, but he should have been out of the inning (and game) when he got that ground ball to A-Rod.

I was at the game and, obviously, it sucked donkey balls. We didn't deserve to win that one anyway. Seemed like every inning we were pulling a Houdini to get out of the inning.

A-Rod could have saved Mo a lot of heartache if he makes that play. You should hear (or not hear) the ambivalence in the crowd when he's introduced at the plate. We wanna love him. But, even with today's home run, he's got to give us a reason.

Posada's failed bases-loaded at-bat in the eighth was huge, obviously.

David Ortiz is unreal. Just unreal. Saw him fooling with A-Rod at third at one point. Clearly not an a-hole, so it's tough to even hate him, even with the .500 average. Reminds me of when we used to face Griffey and just hoped he banged the ball off the wall instead of clearing it.

Jason Giambi doesn't have a nickname, but I'd like to nominate The Pisser, because when he's up it's usually a good time to go to the bathroom.

I think Sox pitchers hit us five times in three games. Not bad for them, but they can do better.

Calling Giambi "The Pisser" was hillarious, can't wait to hear that one on FOX

Hello from The Rest of the World, where no one cares about the Yankees or Red Sox (well, yet). Memo: we're all laughing at fans on both sides at this point. How couldn't we?!

Thanks for the wake-up call Shermanator. Let me join the rest of the world in saying Tike Redman couldn't hold a candle to Junior Spivey.
