no maybe
what if he didn't hit the slam? my answer is no. Not for JD Drew.
Since he's part of the reason for the tight finish, NO!
I have been saying all October(and i said it again before his at bat to my friends) JD Drew, 1 big hit in October can make you a hero in Boston
How was he part of the reason for the tight finish?Quote:

The Red Sox really played no part in the tight finish. They never stopped winning. The Yankees simply played outstanding. .

The Sox are going to be AL champs though (apparently), so they've been doing something right.
I hate the Sox. Their bandwagon fans (no offense to those on here) are the worst. I went to like three Sox/M's games this year and heard tons of people with no Eastern accents screaming and cheering for Boston. It's really infuriating. :mad:
The Red Sox were great all season, despite Drew and Lugo struggling. They never stopped winning. There wasn't much that they could do to stop it from getting so close. They were still winning, the Yankees were just on an incredible roll.
You're allowed to be a fan of a team without being from that team's area, or without having an accent from that team's area.Quote:

I'm not sure how you can come to that conclusion without talking to each of the individual fans.
It seems like you're just as much of a bandwagoner as they may possibly me...just AGAINST the Red Sox, rather than for them.
That doesn't even make any sense! :D
You seem to just join the bandwagon of Red Sox-haters, going as far as to make baseless judgments about their fans.
Sure it does. There's many people who "hate" either the Red Sox or the Yankees. Their the top two targets in baseball, hence the "bandwagon effect" that many people seem to "hate" both teams simply because many other people do as well.
Or simply because they're good...the same reason he likes to claim that their fans like them.Quote:

Personally I hate Boston more than the yankees. At least the yankees have had good owners since the 1920's (generally speaking). And Stienbrenner is a win at no cost owner. I wish more owners were like that.
