yeah, props to the friggin' Sox...not big A.J. fans here (we got a load of him last year and it didn't go well) but we do like Harold Baines and Tim Raines, so bully for them.

Giants now have the third-longest championship-less streak...so maybe Steroid Barry will lead us back to the promised land next year - although if he just shut up, retired and went away, that would be okay, too.

also surprised to see Hammerin' Hank give Barry and Palmeiro such a pass; they both should be kicked out of the game for injectin', cheatin' and lyin'...but then i'm a purist.
