Well I dont think that democrats have any doctrinal treatise about living immorally or the republicans about living morally...excepting some sort of skewed morality which punishes you for getting a BJ, but rewards you for killing 10,000... That being said I doubt that a poor itinerant humble desert preacher who spoke of loving your neighbor-- would have much if anything to do with American politics and systems as it is set up now...Its all about Power and the acquisition of power and wealth, which seems at cross purposes with a lot of his message-- if he had to choose-- probably leaning more toward democratic with an eye to helping the poor and working toward a greater sense of social justice, but more likely I picture a political anarchist who wasnt fooled by either party and didnt take his cues or rules from the structures of this world...maybe Dan is right-the Greens ..or the Christ Party. He would take an awful lot of heat from both parties for saying that "We should love our enemies". Yea he'd have to make up his own party- its way way too far distant from any American party-maybe he could make it in Switzerland or in a tribal culture somewhere

ALL OF 'EM!! :D--> :)--> :D--> and Best seats you can get, I will send them my arm, a pound of flesh, all of my blood and my soul if necessary.... IF I gotta choose one game make it 6 or 7 first, (tough call if it should only go 6, but 7 could be the ultimate game of this eternity), so its a tossup between 6 and 7 then 1 and 2 thanks-- I Love this and love you too.. more photos

Welcome Home Babe

I am out of words- This is the stuff of legends, to not only be down 3-0, but to be down in the ninth inning of the 4th game--in a sense it had to be this way for the redemption to be complete. I love these guys, I love how they play but most of all i love the way they play together as a team and genuinely love, respect, care and believe in one another--everybody contributed--without Dave Roberts coming into to pinchrun in the ninth inning of game 4 and stealing second --there is no more series...when all of the East Coast was screaming to take Bellhorn out of the lineup, Francona leaves him in and he gets a gamewinning HR in game 6, same goes for Johnny Damon, who should be in the top 5 AL MVP voting, who was quiet during this series but saved his best for last, Jason Varitek fouling off about 10 pitches before getting a go ahead RBI-never mind catching every inning of this crazy series- the bullpen that stepped up to the plate and performed beyond belief.... Is this real or is it a dream? losses under Schilling and Martinez in Games one and two, then getting hammered 19-8 in game three--I even posted an obituary---forgive me for giving up momentarily--- For me it still hasnt sunk in, I am completely drained as is most of Red Sox Nation this morning...Ex. after waiting- well for me since about 1966-I am somewhere between joy and tears of gratitude.

The RedSox spent alot of time and energy over last winter trying to acquire A-Rod (or as Bostonians are now referring to him : A-Fraud) I for one am glad that they failed, the Red Sox are amuch better team for it. Although he is undoubtedly talented in 20 something games against the RedSox, -- he has shown a lot of bushness and unprofessionalism that doesnt belong in the game. He is spoiled and a crybaby, and for inciting those classy NY fans -to the point that they had to bring out the riot police---well I'm not sure what they should do. Still aside from hoping my team gets away from the animals safely tonight--- its game 7, I spent a few hours today actually on the field at Fenway Park (seemed like agood thing to do today) and things dont get much better than this..... We'll see if any of our pitchers have anything left in about 3 and a half hours

Is this the most amazing 7 games? Im shaking, I havent had a decent nights sleep in a week, I can hardly eat. I think Schillings performance of last night (of course depending on what happenes tonight) is one of those things that legends are made of....that happen once in a generation. His frickin ankle was sewn together for cripesake, he could barely walk..Im proud of this team and what they represent --- and all the useless sports cliches aside, they really have shown unending amounts of heart and character and unselfishness in bringing a whole region and a 'nation' together. The Red Badge Of Courage

I'm a little too distracted to be following the NL too closely---Its just a wee bit intense in this neck of the woods. Joe Torre said today that every game has been like a series--and it has --the ups and downs (never mind the starting times) have the whole New England region running on fumes. I dont know how the relievers or the catchers are holding up after the work they are putting in day after day(26 innings in alittle over 24 hours)--this has got to be one of the strangest series I have ever seen..... Tonight Schilling goes out on a wacked tendon---If the new Magic Shoe from reebok holds up --Out of gratitude I promise never to buy another Nike....

Edit later--damn they changed the page on me, once it said CURSE THIS!

I think from a Red Sox fans perspective this is the only possible way this could ever work out--to be down 0-3 and be down in the ninth inning of game four, and make a series of sloppy but incredibly dramatic comebacks... We're halfway there... We're livin on a prayer...

BOSTON RED SOX

WHO'S YOUR PAPI NEW YORK?

OOPs-- From the Dewey defeats Truman Department--- This might be funny in a few more days

I saw a twitter of life last night at about 1:22 AM, probably just the last gap of a dead corpse---- Im stuck, after saturdays game i was ready to swear off anything baseball for ever, after seeing this crap for 38 years --enough is enough, but last night found myself returning like a dog to his, whatever he returns to. The Fenway Faithful are a sick lot--- I know its over but some strange out of sync psychic discombobulation deep on the inside still wants to believe or hope, beyond any sense of reason.....God I hate this... Hi I am Mstar I am a Red Sox fan

The balk is amoot point by now, its about 7zillion to 8, it baffles me, it totally baffles me---This team that came togethr so well in the last months of the season and played formidably in the Anaheim seriescomes to the biggest series and biggest games of the season, hell the biggest games of their lives and they lay down. I can see the tombstone R.I.P BOSTON RED SOX DIED PREMATURELY 2004 LOST CONSCIOUSNESS IN THE WEEK BEFORE THEIR DEATH THEY LEAVE BEHIND A RAFT OF COMPLETE .... IDIOTS WHO THOUGHT THIS YEAR WOULD BE DIFFERENT For the second year in a row I really thought that these were the guys---- this really sucks

What an abortion of a game so far, unless we eventually win it , in which case its a warm cuddly puppydog-- 6-6 in the third, strangest game Ive seen in along while.... Simon the rule man-- got an opinion or a ruling on the balk by Mendoza?

I LOVE GAME THREES! anybody else with me here tonight? ITS GOOD TO BE BACK AT FENWAY! LETS GO RED SOX!!!

damn ---still 4 Hours to go- Is there some reasonable explanation why playoff game days seem to last at least 2 or 3 years?

Curt Schilling --internet post on todays starter Bronson Arroyo

W W J D D What Will Johnny Damon Do?

Ugh I can hardly think of a more foul thought-- Should Dick Cheney join the Grateful Dead? Should Osama bin Laden run the Pentagon? Should Satan be appointed Pope? to think of Steinbrenner with the RedSox sends shivers of ickitude through my system

These are the times that try Sox fans' souls. The bandwagon and the fair-weather fan will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their Nation; but he that stands it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like the Yankees, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly: it is dearness only that gives everything its value. Heaven knows how to put a proper price upon its goods; and it would be strange indeed if so celestial an article as a World Series ring should not be highly rated. NY, with an army to enforce her tyranny, has declared that she has a right not only to out-spend but “to blind us in all cases whatsoever,” and if being bound in that manner is not thuggery, then is there not such a thing as thuggery upon earth. Even the expression is impious; for so unlimited a power can belong only to God. Whether the death of the Yankees was declared too soon, I will not now enter into as an argument; my own simple opinion is, that had it been eight months earlier, it would not have been much better. We did make a proper use of last winter, with Arod and Schilling, while we were in a dependent state. However, the fault, if it were one, was all our own; we have none to blame but ourselves. But no great deal is lost yet. All that NY has been doing for this week is rather a ravage than a conquest, which the spirit of the Sox, a year ago, would have quickly repulsed, and which time and a little resolution will soon recover. I have as little superstition in me as any man living, but my secret opinion has ever been, and still is, that God Almighty will not give up a people to playoff destruction, or leave them unsupportedly to perish, who have so earnestly and so repeatedly sought to avoid the calamities of ALCS war, by every decent method which wisdom could invent. Neither have I so much of the infidel in me, as to suppose that He has given us up to the care of devils; and as I do not, I cannot see on what grounds the king of NY can look up to heaven for help against us: a common murderer, a highwayman, or a house-breaker, has as good a pretense as he. adapted from The Crisis, 1776
