I'd like to see the Yankees get up three games to one and then choke like they did against the Red Sox a few years back. That was sooooo enjoyable. _________________

I lived in NYC at the time and it wasn't pretty! We had some of my friends and co-workers on suicide watch!!!

As a Red Sox fan since the age of 10, I couldn't even watch the games because of my fear that I would jinx them. I turned on the game late in the seventh game after I saw the Sox were comfortably ahead. If the Yankees had even threatened to rally, I would have turned it back off. Then, I didn't watch the World Series until late in Game 4. After they won the first championship, I became less neurotic. _________________

Yep, just the one ginger brother. He was promoted this year to scoreboard manager, not to be confused with head scoreboard manager. But he controls one of the side scoreboards and does a lot of production for all the crap they put up between innings. _________________

Thanks. I will no doubt have fun. Us Pittsburghers don't exactly have many opportunities to see playoff baseball, so I'll be taking it all in.
I'm seriously considering converting to a Yankees fan. They embody everything I hate about non-salary cap, anti-trust exempt baseball... but if you can't beat em, you might as well join em.
I wouldn't consider this except a) Pirates ownership/mgmt hasn't tried in at least a decade now, and b) baby bro got the hook up. _________________

My mom was a huge Yankees fan and that's how I came to be a Yankees fan! I lived in NYC for a few years and that just cemented my love for the Yankees. I also like the Dodgers (originally from Brooklyn), and I've lived in Atlanta for a long time, so I also root for the Braves. My Norwegian hubby doesn't like or even understand baseball, so I don't watch many games these days...But let me tell you, Dick, it is nice to root for a team that actually wins!!! _________________ "If by a 'Liberal' they mean someone who looks ahead and not behind, someone who welcomes new ideas without rigid reactions, someone who cares about the welfare of the people — their health, their housing, their schools, their jobs, their civil rights and their civil liberties ... if that is what they mean by a 'Liberal,' then I’m proud to say I’m a 'Liberal.'" ~ Senator John F.
