My god, Jen, you don't have to identify yourself as a Yankees fan to support Don Mattingly being elected to the Hall of Fame. Please, the force is strong in you ... don't go to the dark side.

I support Mattingly for the Hall of Fame, BTW.

I am a Boston Red Sox fan. No one realizes the power of the dark side better than us.

GREAT MOMENTS IN HYPERBOLE

Baseball fans know that there's a lot of attention on the Boston Red Sox after their epic collapse last September. Thus far this year, they've not fared well, and yesterday's game had two (count 'em, TWO!) blown saves by the Sox. But Dan Shaughnessy, sportswriter for The Boston Globe, may be going just a tad out on a limb when he writes in today's edition:

"The Sox Monday night become the first team in baseball history confronted with a must-win game on April 9."

Gimme a break!

Sounds like Boston fans are returning to the doom and gloom outlook they had before 2004
the season is only still in the first week of play all is not lost
my Phillies are 1-2
and my Yankees are 0-3 being swept by Tampa [oh the pain]
but things will get better all is not lost for either team

What the hell is this "my Yankees" crap, Jen?

Please, please, please tell us it's nothing more than a provocation in jest!

I never thought I would say this in response to one of your posts, Jen, but after reading your signature....

I could not agree more. The Yankees suck and I will never root for them as a team.

Individual Yankees are another matter. Mariano Rivera and Derek Jeter from the current team, for example. Class acts. And I also agree that Don Mattingly should go to the Hall, but I won't change my baseball allegiances because of it.

Born and bred Astros fan here and I don't give a flying fuck about all the fair weather fans in that city, I love em and when they win it's a party and when they lose, meh it's a tough loss.

Unfortunately, all teams seem to have their fair share of fair weather fans.

Although by all accounts Derek Jeter is a class act ... I can definitely attest that Mariano Rivera is a tremendous class act! I was very sorry to see that he got hurt this week and wish him a speedy recovery!

I worked with a cancer foundation for a number of years and with many baseball players (primarily from the Yankees, Red Sox, and Mets) helping to raise money for the foundation to help cancer patients. Mariano Rivera was a pleasure to work with ... polite and caring ... he worked tirelessly to help out the foundation. Just a wonderful human being! I know his baseball pitching stats speak volumes for how excellent he is on the field, but off of it he is just as great a person!

Mariano Rivera and former Boston Red Sox Carl Yastrzemski were the best to work with in the years I worked with this cancer foundation. Most were good ... they were GREAT! (Then you had some ... who although they agreed to help out ... couldn't wait for it to be over with like Roger Clemens and David Wells to name a couple).

I agree with you 100% about Rivera. I wouldn't wish that injury on him no matter what team he played for(and what a fluke injury it was!). I'm glad to hear that he'll not be retiring after this(it would be a crappy way to end your career), but I'm not sure what he'll be like after having a year on the sidelines.

And I'm not surprised at all about your comments about Roger Clemens and David Wells. Clemens is a douchebag, and Wells had a poor attitude(I still recall the hissy fit he threw towards Cito Gaston when he pulled Wells out of a game...I think that he's lucky Gaston didn't pop his head off like a cork!)

shadows, my friend, calling Clemens a douchebag is really out of line. I know many perfectly genuine douchebags who would reject this comparison out of hand, because it insults them to have someone like Clemens associated with their ilk. I think he is in a class of his own.

You are absolutely correct. I sincerely apologize to all douchebags out there for associating you with Roger Clemens.
