shirish bro, you seriously need to stop bugging me with your "there are other variables" crap ! jeez man, i get it ... been watching baseball for over 10 years now ! you think i dont know theres other teams than yanks and bosox ... stop for christs sake !!! enjoy the win of the bosox ... like i've always said, no worries, we're just ecstatic to be the wildcard... after all that the yanks have taken from morons, i think our performance after the all-star game says it all ! AX, sorry i have not really been talking to you, but yeah A-Rod is definitely doing good, crunch moments or not, he is swinging and connecting ! did u hear about he might move to the cubs and might get half-ownership ? all i know is, even if he moves, he will get a hero's ovation back in NY if ever we hear of him then, unlike the nation where the hero who probably got them the world series berth was abso-friggin-lutely booed ! haha .. anyways, I can also say go Yankees, but nevermind !!!
