Being a somewhat civilized Angels fan, I just wanted to say congrats
to Bah-sten and your Red Sox. I suppose you are to us, what we are to
the Yankees. Don't get too comfortable... we will be back next year
stronger than ever -- that is, assuming the Angels get rid of Aybar,
what a freakin' piece of crap baseball player, defensively and
offensively. But, I'm not bitter.

I don't think you will make it past the Rays though so you might as
well start preparing for your early exit too.

Dodgers and Rays in the World Series.

Later!

Thanks a lot. YOu guys have a great team and I DO empathise with you,
though I am a fairly newcomer to the Sox, I've seen enough of the
disappointments we've had against the Yankees to understand how
annoying it must be to fail many times against the same opponent. Just
seems like we have your number right now, but I'm sure it won't last
for ever!!!! You have a fun team to watch but I do think you'll do
better once you have a different manager and get away from this
aggressive style that may well cost you more than it gains. Get a bit
more plate discipline and patience and you might score the runs you
need a bit more often. YOu had us on the ropes several times but
somehow found a way to help us out of the mess one way or another

But, you had a great season and played with a lot of heart, especially
at Fenway. All the best for next season, we've now got a hell of a job
on convincing Tampa they're not as good as they think they are - could
be tough I think!!!!

P.S.
We sincerely DO appreciate that you continue to be the Yankees bogey
team by the way :-))

Ditto for me too.

All the best to mature MLB fans.

See you next February at spring training.

Just because of the missed bunt?
