Red Sox Kharma
 

Just as I did in 2004 (with great success), I am requesting that anyone visiting temples in Asia put in a few good words for the Red Sox with the appropriate deities. I recognize that this may not be at the top of your list, just include it somewhere down the line. Thanks in advance.

The Yankees could use some help too this year...

If anyone needs help this year (actually EVERY year) it's the poor cubbied.

BUMS...they are all money grabbing bums...

<i><b>BUMS...they are all money grabbing bums</b></i>

And Bob knows all about grabbing bums.

i am selective....for instance i would never grab a panda bum...

Gloria-I readily admit that the Cubs need divine intervention. A perfect World series would have the Cubs and Red Sox competing.

Don-please refrain from creating images that are very disturbing. It all arose because Bob, a banker, could not bring himself to use the normal phrase of &quot;money grubbing&quot;. Bob heard that way too often in his career.

Yankee fans are much more tolerant. I noted Bob's misuse of the word &quot;grabbing&quot; but chose to ignore it. Of course, the parent company of the firm I work for is a bank so that might explain my leniency. Beckett was lights out last night and I'm actually rooting for the RS so they can play the Yanks after they beat Cleveland - should make the GTG more interesting as well. Although I am a Cubs sympathizer, it would sadden me if they were to face the Yanks in the World Series...

I am trying to keep this thread on the Higher path. Therefore, I wish all teams good luck, but the Red Sox the most luck. Remember, positive Kharma.

If you want to keep this on a higher plane then root root root for <b><font color="red">God's team</font></b>, the <b><font color="red">heavenly</font></b> team, the Los Angeles <b><font color="red">Angels</font></b> of Anaheim.

Here is a picture of the <b><font color="red">Angels</font></b> in the field:

Before the games we <b><font color="red">Angels</font></b> fans sing the song <i>Calling All Angels</i> and <u>real angels</u> come down from heaven to help. So prayers in Asian temples, though welcomed, are not necessary.

It works in Anaheim, anyway.

Sorry, Mr. W - the LAA's are trouble for the Yanks and the Yanks - RS series is always a classic no matter who wins. It sounds terrible but I'm rooting for the RS just this once.

A new country heard from. Do Angels fans have twelve step meetings as do Red Sox fans? I think not. Angel fandom is a cold to our fatal illness.

This seems like complete heaven. Okajima pitched as well as ever last night, the rest of the bullpen was just as good, everyone is hitting well, and it looks like Francona has the same faith in Gagn&eacute; as the rest of us. Meanwhile, the fellows from the Bronx are not only 0-2, but A-Rod seems ready to make everyone forget about his slam-dunk-MVP regular season with another playoff choke.

It's all setting up perfectly, just like that ground ball to Buckner.

Don, are you new to the Red Sox or have you been struck by amnesia? While things seem pleasant now, the ax will undoubtedly fall. No gloating or preening until Thanksgiving. How many times have we been taken to the altr? Never agtain!

Counselor, the last sentence of my post, foretelling the usual doom, is visible in the land of the Leaders of the West, is it not?

I am relatively new to the Sox. My first major league game was a Braves' home game, and my Dad didn't take me to a Sox game until Pinky Higgins was the manager.

Yes, setting up ... to fall.

Mike had more confidence in K-Rod than most O:-) fans.

I'm surprised there are still people who like professional sports. When you dissect them you realize there's nothing special about any team or game. Sorry for the negativity!

Obviously, you don't understand baseball.

But why post that if you are going to apologize? Or, why apologize if you are going to post that?

Those were rhetorical questions.

What a place to bump into the Red Sox Nation!Pinky Higgins, now that's nostalgia...I also remember him as a better than average 3B'er.

Kids, I've beena Sxo fans since that spring day in 1939 when my dad took me to a game vs. the Senators...and remember, one of my dad's friends saying...&quot;that skinny thing out there will never make it in the bigs.&quot;
Of course, that was Ted's rookie year....and somehow he stuck! Like all Sox fans, I couldn't be caught dead or alive at Braves Field...but dammit, I married a Bees fan..when they moved to Milwaukee, she lost interest, thankfully.

I suffered &quot;runnerupism&quot; for all the years from '39-'O4) and when I had moved to L.A. the year before the Dodgers, I decided I would still be a Red Sox fan forever, but would at least follow the Dodgers closely. Go Sox!!
