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.

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. Wink

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.
