It is getting boring to watch the pats. They always win. What's the fun and excitement in that?

Standing at home plate for a few seconds after a home run is no different that celebrating in the end zone after a touch down. For some reason though, everyone makes it seem like poor sportsmanship when done in bbaseball and entertaining when done in football.

The team just went back to back to back. That's reason enough to show off alone.

Up until the NFL recently cracked down on it endzone celebrations were getting too excessive. You know when people are using props that it's out of control.

Personally, I'm with Barry Sanders (one of the classiest athletes EVER IMO) on this issue. Someone once asked him why instead of dancing in the endzone after he just hands the ball to the ref. He said "act like you been there before."

If you prefer to watch a team lose, you can watch the J-E-T-S instead

BTW, Tito needs to stop baby-ing the players. Beckett should've started game 4 and come back for game 7 if needed. It's the freakin playoff for god's sake. It's what the some season boils down to.

They were reporting in last nights game that Beckett's back was stiffening up towards the end of his start in game 1. I think that might have a big factor as to why he didn't go with 3 days rest.

Hard to blame it all on Wakefield when Youkilis made 2 errors and nobody but Manny and Papi are getting anything done at the plate. My biggest problem is having Pedrioa lead off.
