Good news for Sox fans in the 200th World Series.: "Most will be rooting against the team viewed as baseball's Evil Empire, the dynasty that has won the "World Series'' more times than anyone else, the franchise whose very name has come to mean global domination. The Boston Red Sox. The Red Sox ended their own "World Series'' curse in 2035 when center fielder Johnny Damon-Affleck and Jennifer Hamm-Garciaparra, the major league's first woman All-Star, arrived in Boston. Of course, the Sox dynasty truly began when they acquired exclusive rights to the celebrated Ted Williams DNA. Fielding an entire team of clones each season, the Sox have won 58 of the past 84 championships."

That was damned funny, and should be made into a Futurama episode.

It still hurts too much to laugh. I will reread this in 32 years, though, and have a good chuckle.

With batting champ Ted Williams (who hit .406) leading the offense, shortstop Ted Williams anchoring the best defense in the majors and with baseball's best eight-man rotation of Ted Williams, Ted Williams, Ted Williams, Ted Williams, Ted Williams, Ted Williams, Ted Williams and Jesse Orosco, the Sox are overwhelming favorites to win again. Now this finally brought a baseball related smile to my face. I never thought I'd get so much joy from seeing Orosco's name in print.

hmm wow, did u forget to mention the fact that the yankees dont earn their world series championships, they buy them instead, well buy the best players money can buy, which all but guarantees them a spot in th epostseason, but they still have trouble winning. O ws rings in the last 3 years is it? wow with a200+ million payroll which is higher than all of the AL central, i'd figure they'd have more championships. to bad giambi had to lose 30 lbs because he cant use th ejuice anymore. Sox would have won that series if Giambi wasnt on the juice.

Just another reason why Caple should have been beaten up wearing that Yankees jersey in Fenway.
