... As a Sox fan it was great watching the Yankees great hitters going down one after the other.

I was a diehard Yankee fan (still am) and I "hated" Tim Wakefield.
Until Oct 18, 2003 that is :)

RIP Tim

As a Sox fan I never hated Jeter or Mariano Rivera. They were great players and I respected them.

AROD we HATED.

Does anybody like AROD?

[woodbutcher1963]

Towards the end of AROD’s contract I think most Yankees fans hated him too.

Tim Wakefield dies from brain cancer and his wife Stacy has pancreatic cancer.
That has to be related to the deadly vaccines.

I can throw a good, consistent knuckler with a softball, but never could get it right with a baseball. Hands too big, I guess.

SEveral years back a doofus Dem names Mark Mallory was mayor Cincinnati (near where I live) and was throwing out the first pitch on Opening Day - which is a BIG DEAL in Cincy.

Here is the result:
