You are right AX bro.... THE CUBS and the SOX in the world series. SOX in 6. THat way people will believe both of their curses are over. Yeah, Our salary is some $50 m less than that of the Yanks. Can you ever imagine REd SOx having the Yanks salary cap and vice versa and competiting in the same division? SOmetimes we gotta think that away also. By the way RED SOX vs. Yankees this season: We have been leading the series 9-7. IN all those games combined REd SOx have scored far more runs than the Yankees. I guess Yanks fan will prefer to compare their Total wins this season against the Sox's win this season, that way they still have 3 and 1/2 more games won. But Yanks vs. Sox one to one, it's not something they find comfortable to argue about. I am looking forward to see the REd Sox and Yankees paly in the penant title this year. You guys think we gotta curse on us. How about Schilling??? The Yankees fans should be well aware of that curse................. Let's not talk about the TWINS. THey are very well balanced team. Both on offense and defense. when I say defense, the pitching also gets included. However, they play in different division. Of Course it's quite easy to play against the ROyals or the White SOx or the Indians or the TIgers. J . Santana have been doing everything right. However, he doesn't have to Face the Yankees as much as Pedro or Schilling does. Imagine putting yourself on the spot light with thousands of cameras, journalists and so so faithful fans expecting a lot of good from you everytime you go to the MOUND, and then imagine yourself ptiching with virtually not as much pressure, and go unnoticed until the last couple of months left in the season. IT's the pressure. Schilling will definitely fill in the shoes of Santana if he were to pitch for the TWINS. Can you say the same about Santana if he were her in Boston??? And see what happened last night (TUESDAY).. FOulke blowed his 21st win of the season when Schilling had an 8 inning shutout ball game going on. By the way that was the 3 rd time Schilling's win was put into jeopardy. Statistics wise Santana's numbers look impressive but We ALL know Statistics can be deceiving. Especially when you deal with the human beings, leave the MLB pitchers alone.Even if we follow the same stats. the Twins are 3 and 1/2 games behing the SOX. that doesn't really matter because the TWINS had already clinched their division whereas We haven't won anything yet. But I don't see them winning the World series. I guess, they are gonna face Yankees again. Oh what A win tonite.. GO SOX GO. Jai Nepal
