I am but a simple gringo. I just wanted to make sure Pedro could read it...

Oh, and I want to make it clear that I am NOT one of those obnoxious New Yorkers that constantly berates Sox fans.

Well, ok, maybe I am a little, but in truth, I actually like a lot of the Sox players. Well, at least a few...

Well, Damon's kinda cool... ;)

Ah, the beauty of a rivalry! You have to admit, we do have quite a bit of spunk on the team. Although I love the fact that the Sox experiment with their facial hair, I tend to think that Johnny's beard may slow him down a bit (he's still damn fast though).

On to a few more nights of fun! ;)

...of how great this series has been.

One second, my brothers and I are high fiving, enjoying the Yanks coasting along on Moose's perfect game and an eight-run lead, the next moment we're on the edge of our seats with EVERY PITCH sweating out a close one after that amazing Boston comeback.

Trust me, Yankee fans do not relax much at all during these games regardless of the score, because we know you guys never give up.

We wouldn't want to have it any other way... ;)

F'in Yankees. F'in Red Sox.

Ugh!!!!!!!!

Have you ever experienced anything like this in your sports viewing life?!? I'm a baseball wreck these days...

I live with a red sox fan, and a hardcore yankess fan. Their rooms are decorated with team colors and i am somehow caught in the middle. The packers aren't playing, and Cornell University hockey hasn't started yet so I have no emotion in the matter. The nightly ritual of seperating one housemate to the living room and the other upstairs is getting tiresome, but the 70-200 has been fun to catch the yankess fan with his face buried in hands :-) Maybe I should skip town tonight?

Serously, if you are not a Yankees fan or a Red Sox fan, you can't grasp the depth of this rivalry. My two boys are already deep into the brainwashing process

If I were you, I would get out of the house and enjoy the game at a bar. It will be safer.

Big Red hockey, 'eh? They were incredibly good two years ago. I did not pay much attention last year. I have season tickets to UNH hockey so I was definitely interested in Cornell during the NCAA's a couple of years ago.

LETS GO RED

Big red hockey is the only team that I will get real fired up about. If you have ever taken a trip down to Lynah Rink you know how serious cornell students are about our hockey. We wait in line 60 hrs for tickets, and not jsut the good seats, if u aren't in that line there is no way you are getting tickets. And what other fans will pelt Hahvahd (sucks) with fish? Just us. Any player on any opposing team knows that we know more ways to make fun of him then the rest of the ECAC combined, and we love it. Yes, hockey is a glorious thing.

The ECAC is a real toss up this year. Cornell looked a bit slow but big, with the officials putting double digit penalty time on the boards for obstruciton type calls we will really see a different game. Despite that, Cornell is consistently a performing team and we've got some dedicated players. Its too bad that the Ivy League can't start play till what... 3 weeks after everyone else?

PHOTO CONTENT: I will try to get me and my camera a press pass and bring you some shots from my new lens. :-)

Thus concludes my cornell hockey rant.

Being from the Bay Area you might expect me to be a Giants or A's fan, but I left my heart in Boston one summer, and the predilection has stuck with me ever since. My one Bay Area favorite however, is Cal Berkeley. And what with being a Cal fan, Stanford is of course the archnemisis of a nemisises . And Cal is not doing to bad this year, GO BEARS!!!
