the Bronx will never be the same.

El duque's been traded.

Perhaps the Red Sox might have a chance then

 

[gemmie214]

Well that might just mean it is the Red Sox year

 

[Briar Rose 7457]

nah, the Curse of the Bambino lives on.

it's hard sometimes to be a Yankee fan.

but then, no other team had a MUSICAL written about it:

I think it is harder to be a Red Sox fan. Every year goes something like this: April:Oh, aren't they looking great this year I think we have a chance. To End of summer: Grown men walking around sobbing like babies and hopes not just dashed but rubbed into the ground and run over by a Mac truck

Amazing how far El Duque's fallen that he wasn't even the big name in the deal...

 

[Briar Rose 7457]

sad isn't it, Steve? but then, he's gotten old...

 

[Steve H.]

Ironic, actually -- there's a couple players in that deal who magically aged during off-seasons! LOL! Colon, a year ago, ended the season something like 27 years old and returned to the team 29 (when someone actually located his real birth certificate! )

So, in a way, guys like El Duque and Colon had aged faster than anyone could imagine!

 

[Briar Rose 7457]

still, I would have liked to see him retire in pinstripes.

I was upset to see Ramiro go...he lived 3 houses down from me. Man, Georgie is cleanin' house.
