It would go down in Sox lore. You know I could have cared less about Belichek and spygate, because I don't think the Pats gained any advantage over that, but this my friend is bullshit. and the fans of Boston know it is and will never admit it..
It is bullshit.
BUT
I will say the Indians brought it upon themselves- they tried to take the bull, and instead got the horns. (The Indians played dirty, the Sox played dirtier).
Am I saying its right? No- Ghandi said it best "An eye for an eye leaves the whole world blind"
nah, I would not say the Sox played dirty. The players had no knowledge and the shame is the players are going to get dragged into something they had nothing to do with, much like Spygate. I am saying Mitchell is a piece of garbage, like Canseco, and the Sox should cut all ties with him..

Ah.
Oh, you need to pick up the white courtesy phone in the Colts Pats thread...you're being called out... (not by me, mind you, I had my sparring for today with you)

That lay off really hurt the Rockies.
Plus their pitcher, like the Indians' Carmona,
looked like he wet himself in the first inning.
They have a rookie going tonight.
Look for plenty of walks and if they have to
use their bullpen again like last night, they are in
big trouble heading back to Denver.
There were no tears tonight of sadness, no explaining to my son how a ball got through someone's legs to lose the game like my father had to do to me. There were tears of joy, from both my son and I, and yells of celebration from the 3000+ down the street at the college.
This drink in my hand, is to the 2007 season. May we never see another 86 year drought.
...Over the next seven games, the Red Sox outscored the Indians and Rockies by the mind-boggling total of 59-15. Roll that around your brain a moment: 59-15.
We took a look at the other six teams in history to rip off winning streaks of seven games or longer within the same postseason. The closest anybody came to that plus-44 run differential was a plus-30 by the 2006 Tigers, who outscored the Yankees and A's, 40-10, in their seven-game run through the LDS and LCS.
You thought that 2004 Boston squad -- a team that won its last eight and led at some point in every inning of the World Series -- had a dominating finish? Heck, those Sox were only plus-24 (49-25).
Remember the 1998 Yankees -- viewed as the most dominant team of modern times? They were just plus-23 (44-21) while winning their final seven.
And what about the '76 Big Red Machine -- one of the most storied teams of the division-play era? Nope, they were only plus-22 (41-19) while sweeping an entire seven-game postseason.
