    Someone on this thread or the yanks thread was bitching that baseball has more than 2 teams


    no it doesn't

    When the Red Sox's 11-2 win over the Indians ended at 11:45 p.m. on Sunday night,86 percent of homes with the TV on -- were tuned in.

    I was tuned in!

    I will admit I had a second where I went 'hee hee' when they lost but mostly I feel bad for their fans cause I know that pain of being up 3 games and losing... it really hurts!

    I don't know anything about the Rockies. I can't bring myself to root for the Sox but I think they're going to take the whole thing.

    I will only cop to liking Big Papi :)

    I'm not really sure that there is anyway in which to 'judge' this
    as a sox fan i know you can find 'sox bars' around the country i'm unsure if the same can be said for the Yanks

    supposedly, on and off showers, nothing too bad.

    The crowd didn't sound too loud during the intros ... wonder if it's the rain ... or the fact all the seats are taken up by corporate yahoos

    its definitely all of the corporate dickheads...


    i looked for tickets but there was no way i was going to let the corporate world rape me by charging $900 to get in. i bid $1000 for 2 bleacher seats on ebay, but that was as high as i was going. needless to say, i didnt win.

    I was trying for seats in Denver. When you add in flights and tickets, tix would be cheaper there than in the Fens. Plus my buddy is a lawyer in denver and I could have stayed there.

    Unfortunately I did not get tix.

    I was hoping seats in colorado would be a lot cheaper .... but, not really ... $1000 for 2 would get you in the building though.

    jesus, when the hell is this game goig to start? I appreciate 8 pm as it allows me to only have to sneak out a little early to run home ... but damn, 8:45 eastern? this thing won't end until 2 with teh commercials ....

    the Joe Torre still makes national headlines and the Yankees arguably have more fans than any other team then, arguably, the Red Sox :)

    Nonsense in part.... We have a huge fan base too and RS Nation is #1 too Red Sox Nation new king of the road
    In 2005 and 2007, the Red Sox had the highest road attendance of all MLB teams.[5] Part of this is apparently due to a large contingent of New England-based fans who fly to Red Sox away games in other ballparks. For games in New York, Baltimore, Chicago, and Tampa Bay, the increase in "commuter fans" has been attributed to relatively inexpensive air fares and, conversely, the difficulty and expense of obtaining tickets to home games at Fenway Park. However, in most ballparks the increased attendance is from "fans" who converted to Red Sox fans after they won the World Series--a common occurrence among major league baseball fans and their significant others. This phenomenon among Red Sox fans has been exacerbated by Red Sox Nation references in popular culture, e.g., films such as Fever Pitch and J. Crew catalog covers during the summer of 2007.
