A yankee friend of mine sent me this today:
Quote:
Congratulations...you won...ONE.
And you did it, NOT with the Marlins model of last year (tight budget, great coaching) but by running up payroll and finding hired guns.
Welcome to the Dark Side. You have become EXACTLY what you despised. You BOUGHT a championship. Personally, I love it. Only 25 more to go, and you can start comparing yourslef to the greatest team in Baseball...the Yankees..
But hey, imitation is the most sincere form of flattery...

I actually like the Sox, but this win proves that there never was a curse - only a long series of bad baseball teams.

Just a sec. What's your point here? If your point is that its classless and hypocritical for your Yankee friend to send you that e-mail, you are correct.
If your point is that the Red Sox aren't bought, well, that's foolish. The Red Sox have one homegrown player, and every single one of their stars (except for David Oritz, who was a non-tender free agent) is a high price salary dump or an outrageously paid free agent. Lets get serious here. Not to rain on your parade or anything.

what a bad series for baseball. All that hype built up from the ALCS just whimpers out in a sweep.
