"Lupica says"? Shows how much you know about New York baseball. Mike Lupica has been a Met shill since the Seaver days, and will never admit that the '86 Mets would've been embarrassed by the '98 Yanks. (Hell, they were almost embarrassed by the '86 Red Sox, but you know how THAT turned out, don't you? Don't you?) "Three aces stand"? I'm presuming you mean Crybaby Curt and Curl-up-and-dies-K. By the end of the year they'll be too exhausted to stand. And Beckett? You'll be lucky if he doesn't get suspended for plunking somebody on purpose. He's a punk. I'm not even going to start with Scott "Procter." (Or relieve with him, and neither should Torre.) And you can do as many of these as you want, as many as I've done "Wrecks," as many as John Barry's done "Spells," and it still won't change the inevitable Boston collapse and Yankee victory. It is preordained. You got 86 years of bad luck, ineptitude and boneheaded management reversed in 12 calendar days, and you have to wait another 86 years for it to happen again. Only 83 more years to go.

I see our wittle Yankee fan woke up from his nap a wittle cwankee again. Awwwwww, so sorry. I see why your ma is a Met fan. Ha ha ha ha ha. I'll write one every day so you can see how the Stinking Yanks are doing; I bet you can't even bare to watch a bunch of over the hill steroid abusers are breaking down before your eyes. Signing Damon was great, HUH? Giambi? Ditto. Clemens? Ditto. Proctor? Farnsworth? Awesome pen there, Bubba Yank. Run, Torre, Run.The only person who'll beat out Beckett for Cy Young is Papelbon, and that's a fact, Jack. We've won the Series since the stinkin Yanks have, with another one this year. Meanwhile, YOUR awesome management is still throwing money away on Abreau, Damon, et al, and sneaking up on last place Tampa Bay. I heard rumors George is trying to trade the whole Yankee roster for Tampa Bay's roster even up....but Tampa laughed in his face. Now THAT'S management! I'm sure glad to see 200 million down the drain for Georgie boy...couldn't happen to a nicer guy...George, or you. Good luck in the cellar. And get used to it!

Tony Conigliaro would have flamed out anyway.

Mr. Pacholick, with a comment like that, I can see why you are filled with self loathing. You must hate yourself even more than the majority of the voters on this website do, judging from the peek at your authors page I just had. Not that I blame them, of course. It's pretty obvious you are vile and hateful.
