Red Sox win again. Damn that must feel good for their fans.

Grant is probably having a nervous breakdown right now.

Blue Jays need to pay to send him to Fenway as a Blue Jays ambassador for consecutive win 19.  He can hand them a token of appreciation for that historic moment.  Like a quilt with 19 on it and some great moments from the win streak embroidered. 

Also, I mentioned on the Sell thread, but in the case of Blue Jays selling anyone to the Red Sox, Grant can escort them across the field to the other dug-out and wish them the best on a quest for the World Series.

World Series AL East this century - Boston 4, NY 2, Tampa Bay 0, Baltimore 0, Toronto 0

Playoff wins AL East this decode - NY 15,  Tampa Bay 12, Toronto 10, Boston 6, Baltimore 0

How is Baltimore less deserving?  They have very little. 

I do like Boston.  Integrity, intelligence, classy fans, a left wing liberal city, smartest place in North America, home of Havard and MIT, the Boston Marathon, the start of freedom for the west at the Boston Tea Party.  Sam Adams beer.  Patriots.  Warriors.  The kindest people on the planet.  Some disagree, they have not been there and are making stuff up.  ALL four teams have Championships in the last 10 years I believe.  They do deserve this as a people, and because of their kindness you could argue they deserve another from the Red Sox this year. 

I don't know as much about Baltimore as a city and their people.  How classy are they?   Baltimore deserves some success because they've had little lately, but they deserve it based on their integrity? 

When I think of Baltimore I think of the Wire, When I have Been to Baltimore I am afraid i am in an episode of the  Wire

"Future Superstar" Nick Frasso is headed to the Rockies. You don't hear from his fanboys much anymore but best of luck to him in Colorado.

Ty France added 200 points to his OPS, was in the high 600's last season, .871 these season.  What is he doing?

our old friend Trent Thornton took a line driver directly to his ankle and had to leave the game, in obvious pain, hobbled off the field.
