"Hey Dirt Dogs... %$#! &%$! %$#! &$#! &%$#! &%! &%#! and %$#! &%$!" -- E-mails from all the Yankee fans, apparently happy about winning title No. 27*
And Red Sox Fans Are Finally Going to Get Restless ...
"Theo, Tito, and John Henry (and mainly John Henry): Well, you got your work cut out for you now. You used to be BOLD, and no one has seen it in 5 years. The Yanks just out DID everyone here and you were left in their wake. Now, it's up to you to go out and be BOLD once again. Your NATION is requiring it of you. Failure will be on you and no one, especially you, should accept it. Be aggressive! Stand tall and do the most for your team. Find the right blend of excellence and personality and bring it to Boston. We can no longer depend on low risk high reward players like Smoltz. We all saw how (not) well he did this year. Go out and Get it!!!" -- Jack H., Red Sox Nation
Q. Would it amuse you to hear that every Red Sox fan is rooting for you to beat the Yankees?
PEDRO MARTINEZ: No, it wouldn't. It wouldn't surprise me at all. I know that they don't like the Yankees to win, not even in Nintendo games. (Laughter). And knowing that I am part of Boston, I consider myself a Bostonian, as well, too, I've been a Montrealer, a Bostonian, and now a New Yorker, and somehow I might become a Philadelphian now. But I've only been there for a short period. It's something that's a work in progress, and I'm pretty sure that every Boston fan out there can feel proud that I'm going to try to beat the Yankees, and I'm going to give just the same effort I always did for them. They're special fans, and they will always have my respect.
27th in a Series > Even here, NY fans true to their stripes > Pedro goes out in a clang > Big four wins again > 2009 postseason: Rise of Yankees, fall of umpires > Everything in NY will be Girardi's for the asking > McCourts headed back to court
No magic ending for valiant Pedro Martinez > Theo Epstein can’t just wait ’til next year > Matsui in glory > Yankees end drought by finishing Phillies > Yankees come up big when it counts
Philadelphia writer names his goat, it’s Pedro > Matsui, Series MVP, brings Japan to its feet > A-Rod’s embarrassing season ends in triumph > Why did the Phillies lose, they can count the ways > Yankees win one for The Boss; he’s ‘teary eyed’
Matsui, Pettitte carry Yankees to Series title > Title shared by fathers & sons > Crown was a long time coming for A-Rod > Core wins one for the thumb > Embattled Girardi gets last laugh > Matsui mania
