The Yanks/Red Sox HH race

From: The Dynamic Duo (pokerman117@yahoo.com) | Date: 2005-02-04 16:42:32 UTC

First of all, I think this is a great idea. This must have been a
huge undertaking for the May Day Lillies. Let's see...they needed
to carve one Yankees' stamp and I'm guessing that they must have
carved like 100 Red Sox stamps.

As we all know, the Red Sox only make it to the "big show" once
every century or so. Here's the math: Red Sox- 16200 games: 1
World Series. Yankees: 16200 games: what is it like 26 times
now. Anyone good at figuring out averages. Well I am, that works
out to 1 world series WIN every 623 games. And the Red Sox work out
to....oh yeah ...one win every 16200 games. Now I ask you, if you
were to take the emblems off the jerseys, which team would you say
stinks? Remember the stats:

Red Sox 1:16200 Yankees 623:16200.

See what I mean, they're not even good on paper. At least the Red
Sox were smart enough to dump Lowe and Martinez. When they were
pitching, it looked like they were throwing batting practice. I
mean the Cardinals played like the "Bad News Bears" in the world
series. I would hope that the Red Sox, being a "professional"
organization, would be able to beat the "Bad News Bears." And they
did....how special.

In closing, the Yanks, on average, should win
this race too. Or is it going to be the curse of the ink pad?
Right, Mark?

Spoken like a typical Spankee fan..
Can you say biggest CHOKE in sports HISTORY!!?!?!?
I LOVED the look on all the spankee fans as they lost(blew) game 7
(not to mention 4,5&6). I'd have traded 10 world series wins for
that. You can have all those titles, and your "all-star teams", we
demoralized you. HA!

Tell you what, we'll let you borrow 10 titles so you can trade. The look on the Yankees' faces was nowhere near as dejected as the "Blow Sox" were when Boone hit a ball that hasn't come down yet. Great knuckler there Timmy!!!
