Yeah, but Boston is tiny geographically and composes a far smaller part of the Metropolitan Statistical Area than New York does of its MSA.
The real stats are:
New York MSA 21.9%Black, 17.7% Hispanic.
Boston MSA: 7.3% Black, 5.9% Hispanic.
Not saying this is good or bad either way, but it does illustrate why you see fewer Blacks and Hispanics in Fenway than at the Stadium.
So put that in your pipe and smoke it, chumley.

That's interesting. Not so many Angry Whelks as I thought.
It's idomatic, beatch.

fwiw dougie fresh uses a gigantic glove when he catches wake. also tek is the best catcher in the leauge when it comes to calling games. he makes every pitcher ('cept wake, i mean we all know what he's going to throw) much better. he even calls every pitch in shillings starts, first catcher shill has ever let do that. i would have liked to see tek use a big glove.
so pulling him in an alcs game, especially one where there may be other pitchers comming in post wake, is never going to happen.
you can put that in the "play roberts over damon" bin

Had the pleasure of speaking with a Yankees fan this morning. He had on a Jeter jersey & Yanks cap - decked out. We actually had a nice conversation..He was originally from NY, I'm originally from Boston. We talked about every aspect of the entire series in a matter of minutes.
The most striking thing he said? That after last night's game, he genuinely hoped the Red Sox were able to pull it off. He said that he's been a Yanks fan since he was a kid - but after watching these last few games, watching how DIFFERENT the players and fans are - that he had more respect for Boston than he did his beloved Yankees. He said that the Red Sox were actually fighting, and were getting the support of the fans - who cheered their players....as opposed to chanting "Who's your Daddy" for 6 innings, and then yelling, screaming & generally acting like asses when the Red Sox fought back to within 1.
He said point blank what every Red Sox fan already knows: That Red Sox fans are there for their team - each & every game. We're excited about every season, every game, every pitch. And we're disappointed every year. Yet we come back again the following year & we're right back in. This isn't a revelation to anyone who's a Sox fan. It's just the way it is.
Yankees fans? They EXPECT to win. And whether they're winning or losing - they're generally obnoxious.
Coming from a Yankees fan, I was suprised to hear it. He said he told his wife last night that he hoped the Sox would hold on & face Houston for the Series.
2 MORE!
Manny's due....but hopefully, the Yanks relief will try to duel with Ortiz again.....fools.We've got to pause and ask ourselves: How much clean air do we need? ~ Lee Iacocca

And for the record, if the Chowds pull off the first comeback from a 3-0 deficit, I hope they go all the way and beat the Astros. I don't hate them or their fans... just enjoy lots and lots of Schadenfreude, the same way Pats fans don't feel pity for the teams they beat repeatedly.
My only beef with some Sox fans (at least on this board) and players is the way they shoot off their mouths like they've already accomplished something. Beat the Yankees, win the World Series, then tell us how great you are.

I am completely unbiased here. I am totally indifferent about both teams, but C'mon Red Sox fans, it just seems like this is the end. They will always break your heart but you keep comming back. I don't know how you all deal with the pain.
Living the good life.

And as for expecting to win, I don't remember Donny Baseball getting within sniffing distance of the playoffs until his final year.
So if you think that the Yankees are the evil empire (they are) and all yankees fans are douchebags (we aren't), so be it. This is a great rivalry for baseball.Last edited by Stu Gotz; 10-19-2004 at 04:32 PM.

if you had a baseball team in alaska, there would be mostly white people there. why? because mostly white people live there. there are like three black people who live in boston, one of which is my buddy jota. when we go out with him, he is always the only black person in the bar. why? because of the racist bouncers at the door? or racist police? no. idiot.

remember when they tried to instill integration in boston public schools during the 70s? that went over real well. the purpose of my initial post was to address the racial makeup of the fenway crowd. i'm still right.fine

Kinda funny, cause when you think about for half a second, desegregation is integration. But there always has to be a fancy catchphrase attached to political achievements.

gonzo, the problem that (white) people had with it was that kids from other neighborhoods (ie, black) were being bussed in.
