I don't like Harry Potter but registering on Pottermore is worth it to crush one fans dream- team slytherin? I think so.

omg. you sound just like me. except, I didn't want to crush a fans dream of making it in... that's kind of terrible.. but I do want to be on Slytherin- Gryffindor is too mainstream.

Team W L PCT GB
NY Yankees 68 42 .618 -

Tampa Bay 58 52 .527 10.0
Toronto 56 55 .505 12.5

But essentially you did, I mean one less true fan could register

They're not really comparable, DIS has unlimited registration for one and I actually LOVE disney

So where are the apologies to Jacoby Ellsbury now?
Where are the analysts and amateur psychologists to say, "Wow, I was wrong,'' about a player who is building a case as the American League MVP?
Ellsbury is no longer simply a hero of the Pink Hats, the fashionable star du jour. He is the toast of Boston after back-to-back, walk-off winning hits, one of which was Wednesday's two-out homer in the ninth.
The Red Sox outfielder was mobbed after each winning hit, hugged by teammates the pundits once suggested did not look at him as one of their own.
Teammates are speaking with wonderment and admiration at Ellsbury's development and maturity. These comments are not being offered as left-handed references to the way he was, but as praise for what experience, hard work and health have created.
People are wrong about ballplayers all the time. A lot of folks thought injured Josh Beckett would never make it back.
Now his ERA is hovering around 2.
The difference with Ellsbury were the questions of character. At about this time last year, when he was heading back to the disabled list for cracked ribs, the popular theme was that he had to go.
He is not a team player, we heard. He won't play hurt. Trade him.
Where are those armchair general managers now?
In retrospect, it is hard to see why Ellsbury became the easiest target in town. Maybe it's because his agent is Scott Boras, whose Rasputin-like reputation causes some fans and media to look at him as an enemy to the team.
I did not forsee Ellsbury becoming the player he has become, but only because the power is a surprise. His home run to center on Wednesday which had to fight a little wind, was a Papi-like clout.
Maybe I'm just happy he has not succumbed to the resentment that Boston's intense baseball microscope can produce. One of the best aspects of watching Ellsbury's season unfold is watching how happy he seems to be.
This was not always the case. Never impolite but once guarded, he has become one of the more upbeat, accommodating players to the media.
He seems to be enjoying the ride. He should.
He is also extremely perceptive. Ellsbury knows that less than a year ago, many analysts and observers (both hired and self-appointed) were calling him soft and selfish and saying his team should cut ties with him.
It was a different, more personal kind of criticism that went beyond the understandable concerns about whether he was brittle.
One of the best moves Theo Epstein ever made was not listening to it.
As he has blossomed into a spectacular, all-out, five-tool player, Ellsbury does not seem to be looking for apologies. And this is good, because there is no doubt he deserves a few.

Last time I was around horses their faces got way too close to me...I guess that's not the last time, I saw like 17 on this random hike my aunt made me go on.

The Red Sox have beaten the Yankees eight out of nine times this season, yet here they are entering this series nearly in lockstep.

surprisingly i'm really nervous about this game

I need to pass the time. ~
