Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

LMAO @ Casual sports fans...

John Lester, Dustin Pedrioa, Pappelbom, and Ellsbury were the stars of this series and are all home-grown talent fom our minor league system.

I almost forgot, most hipsters became hipsters because they couldnt play team sports.

Listen, Boston is the home of the most passionate, long-time baseball fans. Don't get confused by the influx of college students.

I don't know if they are the most passionate and long time fans. Arguably Yankees fans are just the same. There isn't much denying though that outside of Boston a lot of people have become Red Sox fans seemingly out of the blue. It simply became uncool to like the Yankees due to the rivalry which people who are not long time fans of either team wouldn't even understand.

I am surprised to no end that Northeastern is still standing. Between this and '04, it should have burned to the ground by now. Cue DK: "Riot."

+1. They had to have a school sponsored bonfire/pseudo-riot at UMaine because of all the ******* who wanted an excuse to scream. Most of those idiots dont even remember when being a Red Sox fan meant saying "There's always next season" even when you didnt quite believe it.

Red Sox fans hate the Yankees. Yankees fans don't care about the Red Sox.

Go to Boston and see how many different anti-Yankees shirts, caps, cup, etc..are available for sale vs. pro-Boston swag. There is more anti-Yanks gear than Boston Sox gear.

Come to NY and we don't run anti-Sox gear...because we don't care.

Guaranteed, there are already 100 different shirts mentioning this year's win AND a rag on the Yankees.

dont give that crap. yankee fans hate the sox just as much if not more than the sox hate the yanks. even more so now. apparently everyone hates the sox fans now.

i also think steinbrenner cared, remember the first series between the yanks and the sox. the yankees got swept and torre practically out the door right when that happened.

I doubt Rodriguez will go to Boston. Seems unlikely. Most people are predicting the Angels. Problem is, there aren't that many teams who can afford him, considering it is going to be similar to when the Yankees acquired him from Texas and had to pay leftover contract.
