Ding dong the Bombers are dead! Sox will play Tribe in ALCS

Don't walk under any ladders. Or step on any cracks, And for god sake, don't let any black cats walk in your path.

Because a near-unprecedented run of good fortune is afflicting Boston sports fans right now, and lord knows we don't want to do anything to jinx it.

The Cleveland Indians just knocked off the Feeble Empire by a score of 6-4 in the Bronx, winning their ALDS series 3 games to 1, setting up an American League Championship Series date with the Sox on Friday night in Fenway.

As if that weren't giddy enough news, Boss Steinbrenner had given Joe Torre an ultimatum before Game 3 yesterday: advance to the ALCS or don't bother coming back next season.

So while the Sox sit and rest, salivating over the prospect of not having to face their pain-in-the-ass nemesis for the fourth time in eight years in the LCS, New York will be worrying about how to replace a Hall of Fame manager, half the pitching staff, and likely league MVP, April Rod.

Not to mention trying to figure out how the hell they came roaring back after a horrible start to the season to own baseball's best record after May 31st, only to see four months of hard work go up in a cloud of Canadian friut flies over the course of five days.

Good luck, losers, and see you in spring training.

All together now: STANKEES SUCK! STANKEES SUCK! STANKEES SUCK!

As if......


oh and one more thing:

pitching, pitching and more pitching....


....that's all you need!

not 9 guys who bash the ball like there's no tomorrow.

...hey there really is no tomorrow for the $200 million dollar team!

Guess $200 million doesn't get you much in New York City these days?

Amen, brother.

We all know nothing goes down better with a Sox win than a Stankees loss, especially when it comes to a postseason series.

How sweet it is!
