July 27, 7.5 in front
I refuse to go back to the dark side – being a Yankee fan. I have made the commitment to this wacky world of Red Sox Nation.
So here we are, almost end of July, and the Red Sox are 7.5 games in front of the Yankees. We won all those games with David Ortiz sitting nursing a sore shoulder, which tells you how great out team is. Greater than great. It’s the greatestest. In fact, world harmony cannot be achieved without the Red Sox. And while the Yankees beat up on double-A teams, the Red Sox beat powerhouse teams like Chicago and the Indians. Wait until we see Tampa, Kansas City and Toronto, WHOOO, we are going to KILL them.
So even when our pitching doesn’t come through, which is very very rare, because we have 6 potential Cy Young winners and that doesn’t include Pedroia, our hitting steps up and puts some big numbers on the board, like last night. And it was so perfect because the Yankees, hahahaha, lost to Kansas City, a team that we are never going to lose to this year. Oh wait, we are 3-3 against the Royals. Well, forgot that, we are not going to lose another game to them again.
So go Sox, eff the Yanks, and let’s GET DRUNK!!

I don’t know why you continuously make us Bostonians out to be a bunch of drunks, wasn’t it at Yankee stadium that a drunk dude fell from the upper levels and broke someone’s neck? I thought it was a Yankee stadium but maybe it was at Fenway, you know how we drunks do it.
Just because I like to make happy hour from 10 am to 1 pm does not make me white trash.

Oh Dave, your allegiance to Red Sox Nation is sure to be rewarded with a middle seat between LMonstro and Nelson De La Rosa on the shuttle from LaGuardia. May the spirit of Ted Williams frozen head provide you with protection from the betrayed Yankees Fans that are sure to spam your blog with Cialis advertisements.
Your fellow fan, Barry

Yankees hit a team record for HR's in a single game and on the same day, 3 games out of the wildcard and at the trading deadline, get rid of a key component of their bullpen to acquire another hitter. The Red Sox, with league leading middle relief and closing acquire another Cy Young candidate to make it a total of 9 when you include Pedroia and Wally. Red Sox lead the 21st century World Series scoreboard versus the Yankees 1-0. With the Red Sox acting like the 20th century Yankees and the Yankees acting like their 20th century rivals, have we finally seen the Curse go from being just "reversed" to fully transferred? I hope I live long enough that the chant "2000" rings meaningfully in my grandchildren's ears at Fenway!
