Don't really have a cheering interest for either team, but wouldn't mind seeing the Bosox pull an elfoldo just because of some of the idiotic comments that were made earlier with the season less than one quarter over.

I don't think ANY Red Sox fans left them for dead...we're all too familiar with this.

Did you ever see the comedy special hosted by Dennis Leary - in Boston - with Bucky as a guest? I loved the way he introduced Bucky - using his "middle" name, the one Boston gave him.
