Four years in a row I think it is now that the A's could not get past the first round. Twice after going up 2 zip I think. Well, good luck to Boston. They may be on a roll to break the Bambino's curse. ------------------ This message has been edited by jd2ksilver on 10-06-2003 at 11:37 PM

I didn't care who won,,,,but what a great game and finish! It came down to the pitcher Lowe,,,who had that one special pitch on those last two A's left handers. He had their number on that pitch.Sorry JD,,,,at least your team made it that far and they gave it their all. Nothing to be down about when you leave your heart on the field.

I was glad to see Boston win. Wasn't the last time the Red Sox won the World Series against the Cubs? I hope they can squeeze past the Yankees!

Nothing personal, JD, but I was rooting for the Sox. I always root for the underdog. I was glad the Cubs finally won and I loved it that Florida won with the ancient Jack McKeown leading them. There were several great games and a LOT of bizarre plays and calls by the umps in all of the series. Then I watched the last couple of minutes of the Colts v. Tampa Bay football game. What a bizarre game that turned out to be. I would like to see the Cubs v. the Red Sox in the World Series.

John---The A's have lost their last 9 deciding playoff games going back several years. They have great pitching. They lost several good hitters the last few years. The only thing they lack is hitting. Look at the Red Sox they Hit, can't pitch! I'm a Met fan look how they have gone down the tubes the last few years. ------------------
