I'm neither a Yankees nor Boston fan but man early on when the Red Sox were leading 4-0, I thought they had it. Don't know why I was rooting for Boston, guess I have a thing for the underdogs winning.

The Yankees, Well They Never Give up, Its kinda like football, the team that isnt tired in the 4th quarter, and plays the hardest usually wins, The Red Sox just DONT Have a bullpen, I mean Wakefield throws a WICKED knuckleball, but all you have to do is a time a knuckball pitcher, and they ball will fly if you time it right.. Aaron Boone exceptional hitter sent that thing YACK, I wish the Red Sox would have won, I was screaming WAY TO END YOUR CAREER ROCKET then wtf do you know the life of the Team Derek Jeter Gets them rallied with the double in the 8th GRRRR.. Oh well I always root for the underdogs, and since my Diamondbacks arent in it (which you should see there next year) GOOO MARLINS, they need to open with Beckett for pitcher in Game 1!
And to end it like Brady Little said at his interview in the end, When asked, why did you leave Pedro out on the Mound, he said Pedro is all we have, in situations like that We need Him in there for us.. You simply cant rely on one person to win a ball game!

To answer Grady Little's question, as I was for the entire eighth inning; Give the damn ball to Embree (solid), Timlin (nearly perfect), then Sauerbeck (nearly untouchable since his wife and baby left the hospital). I'm kind of happy we haven't renewed his contract.
The Yankmes didn't win anything. Grady gave them the game. And the Series.
The Yankees might as well be playing Ed's Bar and Grill. I'll be doing something more interesting, like dumping baking soda and vinegar into my shower stall.
Besides, I don't like hockey.

The Red Sox payroll is more than 130 million, the Yankees is about 180 million.
I had hoped that small market teams like the A's would be able to hold out against the big money teams. I'm not holding out much hope anymore.
I'm bitter about it because teams like the Yankees, and their free-spending ultra-rich owner, George "buy the world series" Steinbrenner, are like the snotty rich kid down the block. Always had the best stuff, always got what they wanted. You want win against the guy, just to give your working-class ass some hope, but he always wins.
The Oakland A's play in a working class town with working class fans. No big corporate support, no big fat cable TV contract. They simply don't have the money to compete. I had hoped, over the last 4 years, that they could prove that money can't buy the series. I was wrong. I think it's time to conceed. You win, we lose.

Has nothing to do with the Yankees or Boston, but some interesting reading anyway.......
20 THINGS THAT HAVE HAPPENED SINCE THE CHICAGO CUBS LAST WON THE WORLD SERIES:
1. Radio was invented; Cub fans got to hear their team lose. 2. TV was invented; Cub fans got to see their team lose. 3. Baseball added 14 teams; Cub fans got to see AND hear their team lose to more teams. 4. George Burns celebrated his 10th, 20th, 30th, 40th, 50th, 60th,70th, 80th, 90th and 100th birthdays. 5. Halley's Comet passed Earth... twice. 6. Harry Caray was born... and died. Incredible, but true. 7. The NBA, NHL and NFL were formed, and Chicago teams won championships in each league. 8. Man landed on the moon, as have several home runs given up by Cubs pitchers. 9. Sixteen US presidents were elected. 10. There were 11 amendments added to the Constitution. 11. Prohibition was created, and repealed. 12. The Titanic was built, set sail, sank, was discovered, and became the subject of major motion pictures... the latter giving Cub fans hope that something that finishes on the bottom can come out on top. 13. Wrigley Field was built and becomes the oldest park in the National League. 14. Flag poles were erected on Wrigley Field roof to hold all of the team's future World Series pennants. Those flag poles have since rusted and been taken down. 15. A combination of 40 summer & winter Olympics have been held. 16. Thirteen baseball players have won the Triple Crown; several thanked Cubs pitchers. 17. Bell bottoms came in style, went out of style, and came back in style. 18. The Cleveland Indians, Boston Red Sox, Arizona Diamondbacks, and Florida Marlins have ALL won the World Series. 19. The Cubs played 14,153 regular-season games; they lost the majority of them. 20. Alaska, Arizona, Hawaii, Oklahoma, and New Mexico were added to the Union.
