But the point is sox fans want Yankee fans to still be miserable over it, and it's just not the case. Yes, I hated it at the time, especially the way it all played out. It just doesn't bother me anymore. It was gone the next season.
'01 still bugs me, though. That was a WS that was to be had, and there were TWO big mistakes in that inning, one physical + mental, and one mental. I hated to seethe the run end because the Yankees f'd up, not for what the Diamond Backs did. I don't think we'll see a shot at 4 straight from ANY team now, given the way MLB is.
I don't care if you or any other Yankee fan is miserable about 04', I really don't put that much thought into it. I only mention it because you tried to convince us that it wasn't humiliating.
Winning 4 straight is an astonishing accomplishment and we probably won't see that again although at least with baseball I'm not one to say never. If anything 01' illustrates how difficult it is to win a WS, the Yankees were clearly the better team and should have won. In fact 01' is further proof how incredible winning 4 in a row is.
I went to the game last night, we took my girl's mother. It's pretty damn fun at this time of year when the Sox and the Yanks are fighting for a playoff spot. Everyone watches the Scoreboard on the Monster to see what's happening at Yankee Stadium and when that's too slow people getting on their cell phones to get updates and telling everyone around them. As much as I hate the Yankees they make being a Sox fan a whole lot more fun and interesting.
You mentioned something about all the whining Youks does in one of your posts and I couldn't agree more. He's like a little boy crying when he doesn't get his way, it drives me crazy. If I were an opposing pitcher the first thing I'd do is throw one high and inside to get him going and he'd be whining for the rest of the game. He's such a friggin wuss.
His reaction after getting beaned is another thing that drives me nuts. You get beaned you drop the bat and run to first without any drama and without letting the pitcher know it hurt. That's the way it's supposed to be done and it's the way 99.9% of players handle it. Not Youks though, he's got to jump up and down and cry about the pain and let everyone know how much it hurts and how upset he is. All that does is confirm that when it's time to bean someone he's the one to get beaned. Clearly that's a concept he can't comprehend.
