This campus is going crazy right now. Red Sox Nation is alive and well here on 37th and O.

You should see things in Boston.
Sox fans are 36 outs away from losing everything they hold dear, their identity, their sole reason for being...
GO HOYAS!!!

While there are a lot of people going crazy about this, there are also a ton of people on campus that are really down because of this right now. I'm a Yankees fan but I'm not a die-hard (baseball just doesn't do it for me nearly as much as basketball and football). I made a deal with the higher powers that we lose this game and don't make the playoffs for the next 10 years in return for the Hoyas making the NCAA tourney this season, haha.
Anyway, I'm confident that the Sox will proceed to pull a choke job of their own in the Series.

36? That might not get them through Game 3!
Oh, and go Cardinals. (There's some unanswered business from '46 and '67 to address.)

No need to have any team from Houston in the Series.

I guess they were due.....I would have preferred a (Red Sox) sweep......this collapse was tough to take.

36 outs, 36 innings...you know what I meant! I'm a pretty rabid Yankee fan myself, but like other board members, I've had a hard time rooting for this team. In my opinion, when they signed Mussina to that huge (in my opinion unearned) deal a few years back that was the beginning of the end. Too many free agents, nobody I really LIKE (Sheff? A-Rod? Brown? These are guys I've rooted against everywhere they've ever been!). I'm with 2007, though...no matter how exciting baseball just doesn't do it for me anymore. Gimmie the NFL and college hoop any day of the week. GO HOYAS!!!

you've never heard the 4 train quieter than after the game last night. people were just shellshocked. i came in expecting to lose after dropping game 6, but i think everyone in the building just assumed the bosox would collapse. i am still not sure what francona was thinking bringing pedro in.
anyway, i think the yankees will essentially be back as is next season. they don't have a lot of tradable assets, so they have to add through FA. vazquez signed a huge deal, how many teams are going to want to take his salary on? posada is about to start the downside of his career [enough overrated talk about jorge by the way, he may not be great at blocking balls in the dirt, but he calls a great game and he's a switch hitting catcher with power that can throw guys out]. we couldn't get a bag full of bats for giambi right now.
the yankees need some pitchers that eat up innings and some depth in the bullpen. adding offense makes no sense at all at this point. but george'll do it anyway.
coincidence that john olerud goes down and the team goes with him? we missed his bat a great deal in the 7-8-9 hole, esp with tony clark flailing like he was.

Bringing in Pedro was totally unnecessary- should have left Lowe in for another inning or more and then gone straight to Timlin.
Listen, I am a die-hard Sox fan, but I wouldn't panic about the state of the Yankees just yet- didn't they just win 100 games?

I don't agree that the Yankee team will be essentially the same next year. Every good free agent probably had a party after this game was over. Beltran, between his playoff performance this year, and the Yankee collapse, added millions to next years deal. At least one, probably two, front line pitchers are going to have money thrown at their feet. Overall, I would expect a new centerfielder, second basemen, two new starters and relief help. It should be interesting (and sickening at the same time).

The Yanks need 3 new starters, send Brown to the 'pen, rid of Vasquez, Lieber can stay on in the pen too, Sturtze also.
BTW, all you Sawx fans, just cause you got lucky and beat us this year, doesn't mean a thing. You still have to go thru the NL champ. The Cards have more offensive power than you do and a better 'pen, and Houston is a lot pluckier this year!

The Cards have more offensive power than you do and a better 'pen, and Houston is a lot pluckier this year! Lucky? Did you watch the same series as everyone else? The only luck I saw was that the Red Sox were lucky that the umpires got together to make the correct call TWICE in the same game. Sounds like an angry Daddies fan trying to rain on the parade to me...let them have their fun. Either way, we all win. If they lose, it's another memorable Sox loss that makes the whole Sox nation weep with sorrow...AGAIN. If they win, then we never have to listen to their whining again. A win-win, as I see it.

The Curse, which of course doesn't exist, had two elements; 1. the curse as seen from the Yankees perspective and their subsequent confidence and 2. the Red Sox view of the same and lack of. They were equally important elements. The first one is now gone for good- or at least for many years. The second one remains, but regardless of what happens in the WS, a big part of what we call the curse is already gone.
