I watched all the games with my brother-in-law this past weekend. He is a Yankee fan and I am a Sox fan. I have lived in Boston since ‘97 so they have grown on me….I even started a sports site where most of the talk is about New England teams but we mix it up…http://www.bleachertalk.com/

The Playoffs should be GR8 fun…anyone in Boston during the playoffs? Listening to Game 1 against ChiSox right now! on XM Radio…GO RED SOX!

Ryan: you’re a monster
John: it’d be better if you were a Sox fan, but hey, i’m with anyone who roots against the Yankees.

Ed: true indeed, but in my experience living in Boston for a couple of years, most of the “peepers” are spread outside of Boston - in Western MA, VT, NH , ME and the suburbs of Boston. downtown’s not a great place to be if leaves are your thing, even as a home base to strike out from. plus, it’s more fun to blame the Yankees.

Brenda: i never knew that…i feel for you. anyway, would love to try that place, but for this gig it’s got to be an “approved” hotel.
Erik: you lucky dog! i’m trying to finagle a way to stay over and hit Sat’s game, but no luck as yet. will let you know if i make it to that one. either way i’ll be texting you on Sun

What ? You don’t like the Yankees. I am not your friend anymore. Oh wait, my bad, I hate them too. And I will be at Sunday’s game (Schilling’s pitching now) which might be (or not) the decisive game.

I feel your pain, grew up in a Yankees household, but have always been a sox fan…

Try this: http://www.lacappellasuites.com/ It is a small place, tucked away in Boston’s North End.

Not to burst your balloon, but it’s probably not just the Yankees fans in the hotel rooms. This is the start of “leaf peeper season” in the Boston area, IIRC. September/October used to be “avoid like the plague” months for when I used to travel out that way frequently.

One time I came in to a meeting in Cambridge, and the only hotel was a Ramada in Norwood — 40 driving miles away. Would my now-ex let me share a room in a Cambridge hotel with a female colleague? NO! So Norwood it was. I knew it was going to be a bad night whe the sign behind the counter said “when paying by cash, please pay in advance”.

When Arizona beat the yankees a few years back, I bought their team hat to celebrate. Since I lived in Miami when they beat the yankees, they became my adopted team. meetings with the entire ny team i work with was a pleasure that year.

“the very classy Yankees fans poured beer on me. When I was five.”

HAHAHAHAHA! That’s soooo wrong… I would have loved to see it though.
