Alex: wasn't it though? Trot getting brushed back by Clemens, then bam, dinger. Pedro gutting through 9 grueling innings, emptying the tank to get Posada, Jeter, et al in the 9th. unbelievable. Bob: well, the object of course is not offend Yankee fans, but a.) 200M payroll is inevitably going to paint a target on their chest and make them the bad guy, and b.) i have a very personal history with the Yankees. hence, i root against them. always. Edward: amen. the fielding bible actually had him listed as either the #2 or #3 right fielder in the league, i believe. he's much, much better than people realize. he just doesn't have the cannon arm that gets a lot of attention.

The rivalry is well understood and historic, but there must be more to the Sox than seeing them always through some competition with their NY rivals.

My friend and I went down the road from the office to watch it at a pizza place. One of the best games I've ever seen. I remember that May 28, 2000 game well.
