“These were the happy days, the salad days as they say…” H. I. McDunnough.
“We need a Beckett, we don’t have one, and he’s the one that can do it.” Steinbrenner said.
This quote, the worry about the “cursed jersey”, I even heard Yankees fans chanting “Boston Sucks” during one of the games in NY last week…..

I just checked out the tag cloud on this site and apparently we’re still fixated with Buckner and the Yankees. Despite winning two championships in the past 4 years, some things are just hard to let go of.
I meant to get this out at the end of last week, when the Yankees and Red Sox played their first series of the season. But it didn’t happen. But with a game Wednesday night, it makes sense to take some time and think about all the fantastic moments this rivalry has seen. [...]
This is great. This is the kind of thing that used to happen to us. Not anymore. The great thing about this whole Ortiz shirt being buried under the new Yankee stadium thing is that spending all this time and money (after denying it ever happened) just shows the world the Yankees [...]
I wasn’t at Opening Day yesterday but I did make it a point to watch the Buckner reaction and I’ve come away from it a little confused.
We did he get a standing ovation? At first blush it’s because we need to let him know it’s alright. We honor him as a very good [...]
Crundy and I were on chatting it up on instant messenger while the ring ceremony was taking place covering topics from Buckner to RBI Baseball to Neil Diamond and more. Here’s the transcript:

Since when is TBS showing a Sunday afternoon game? I didn’t even know the Sox were on TV!
Sox look tired. Looks like all that traveling is catching up with them. I’m sure they can’t wait to get home. Especially Julio Lugo - who has made 3 errors today. Everytime I consider jumping on the “Bench [...]
My version of JJ’s first post:
A few years back, before we got the monkey off our backs, a few of my friends and I were at Buffs Pub for game 6 of the ‘04 Yanks/Sox series. We had tickets for game 7 purchased before the playoffs began with the anticipation it might come down [...]
This is a completely true story. On Thursday, a hawk that is allowed to nest at Fenway Park in the offseason attacked a middle-school girl visiting the stadium. The girl’s name: Alexa Rodriguez. Her age: 13. Same as the jersey number worn by a certain third baseman for the Yankees.
Honestly, you can’t make up stuff [...]
