I'm going on record right now. White Sox in five.

Congrats on the Red Sox win. The series against the Rays should b a good one. Good luck.

I'm not all that sad about the Sox being eliminated. Thay definitely lost to a better team. Looking back on the season, I feel that the Sox are a flawed team that overachieved by even being a contender, let alone winning the division. While they have a solid foundation, both with their pitching and their everyday lineup, they need to retool in some areas and make some important decisions about certain players. I trust Kenny Williams to do what's necessary during the offseason.

Thank you for your insightful thoughts about the stuff I wrote about. I hope you're not giving me too much credit and I can actually work things out in a way that will be best for me.

I had never heard of SG before last February. Joining this site would normally be the furthest thing from my mind. I don't know if I told you, but the reason I knew of SG and decided to join was that my friendLyrical joined as an SG Hopeful and urged me to become a member. I never thought I would fit in on something like this. I'm almost positive that I'm the oldest person on here.

You know what? If I hadn't joined , I would have missed out on meeting and getting to know some wonderful peoiple such as yourself and certain others that I consider close friends. It turns out that becoming an SG member is one of the best things I've ever done.

By the way. Do I get a prize for posting the 100th comment on your blog. I agree with my good friend, Lizabeth. It' time for a new post.

Be well. Go Red Sox. It's time for me to move on from baseball. So, in closing I say, Go Bears.

Based on what I've revealed in my latest blog, things like sports, sex and other things I've been focusing on seem so stupid. Reality has bitten me in the ass. Very scary.

I relate to everything you said about your own situation. I never imagined I could be in such a predicament at this stage of my life. I'm trying to hang in there and think positive. I have to focus on the fact that there are people in my life that truly care about me.

I need to continue to believe that things will work out. I'm trying to stay strong, even though it's easier sometimes to give up. I know deep down that my loved ones would never let me down if worse came to worse. It's just so depressing to contemplate the possibility that I'll need them to rescue me from oblivion.

Last gasp for the Bosox. As I said earlier, I'm rooting for them because of the fact that you and Tabi are Red Sox fans. It's obvious that things don't look good. Still, I've seen bigger odds overcome in sports. The fat lady hasn't sung yet.

BABY WE DID IT

I know, it was amazing!

i'm so excited, my confidence in us has been fully renewed.

hehe, they've recently started to televise Gary Radnich's radio show on Comcast Sports. The Fabulous Bruno makes for great TV. And good knowledge. It's a celebration sensation.

What a comeback. It's amazing. From being a cursed franchise just five years ago to having the mindset that can overcome anything. 2004 will live forever in the heart and minds of the team and its fans. Good luck tomorrow night.

All I want for my birthday is a healthy Tom Brady....why is that too much to ask?

As usual, thanks for the encouragement and good wishes.

Looking forward to reading your new blog. Hope all is well.

Good luck with those amazing Red Sox tonight.

fair and square indeed...cant wait for spring now

Too bad about your Sox. They never stopped fighting. The Rays deserve their props. I have no doubt that they will easily knock out the Phillies.

I disagree. The Rays are battle tested against a better team than the Phillies played. Besides, the AL is much superior to the NL. Rays in six.

It looks like I was wrong and you were right about the series.

Thanks!!

I can't wait for the election to be over. I don't trust the polls. I have a feeling that the election is oh so close. I fear that there are too many people who would not vote for a Black man for president. I hope to God I'm wrong.

As I say on my blog, no one should take anything for granted. Polls have never been more useless and unreliable than during this campaign.

I may sound like a conspiracy theorist, but I feel that many republicans are saying that they're voting for Obama when polled even though they have no intention of doing so, so that Obama voters will get a false sense of security and thus may not feel that their vote is necessary.
