There never has and will never be anything cool about the Red Sox.

They had Babe Ruth and Ted Williams play for them. That's pretty cool.

Fenway is cool.  The Green Monster is cool.  Wade Boggs was cool.  Schilling was cool.  Pudge was supercool.  All kinds of cool.

Red Sox are the enemy.
But they did have El Tiante.
Verdict: cool.

Ok fine the Red Sox have had cool things about them. But their angsty fanbase during their cursed years was not cool.

So tonight we'll see if Johnny Cueto can continue on from his dominant performance in Game 5 of the ALDS.  I was actually worried when I heard he was getting the start back then - boy was I wrong.

Trouble is - Federal election results are about the only thing that could tear me away from baseball, and well...

The "last" button on my clicker is going to get a workout tonight.

You jinxed him.

Poor BB. Two of his loves are going down tonight.

Has any team ever had a black catcher?

They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.

There's a fine line between salvation and drinking poison in the jungle.

I'm embarrassed. I've been making the mistake of associating with you. It won't happen again. :)

Yes, lots. Altho, there have been a sharp decline since the start of the 2000.

Sandy Martinez is a very dark skinned Dominican.  What's your definition of 'black'?

Guess not - they lit Cueto up. :o

On to game 4.

As a non-Cubs fan, I kind of prefer the reputation of them being the team that hasn`t won since 1908 to the idea of them winning now.  I mean - the Red Sox used to be cool, the Curse of the Bambino and all, but now they`re just the mini-Yankees.

By which of course I mean - Go Royals Go!

Them's fightin' words!  :mad:

Josh Gibson was probably the greatest catcher to ever play.
