You see NBC is financed buy corporations. And the corporations sit there in their corporation bulidings, acting all corporationy, and they make money. See

The phrase "Turd Sandwich" is just plain funny.

Dear Red Sox Nation,

Congratulations on your first World Championship since 1918. Now shut the fuck up and act like normal fans

Sincerely,

Everybody else

Nomar calls to wish his teammates well

ESPN.com news services

ST. LOUIS -- For a band of players that has embraced each other throughout a season that very well might culminate in the franchise's first World Series title in 86 years, it's only fitting that the Red Sox would keep Nomar Garciaparra close to their hearts.

As if Garciaparra, the shortstop traded three months ago to the Cubs, were the 26th man on the roster, the current members of the Red Sox last month voted him a full postseason share, the Boston Globe reported Tuesday.

The roughly 50 or so full playoff shares are expected to be around $200,000 each.

Garciaparra also hasn't forgotten the Sox. According to the newspaper, he recently called Jason Varitek and Trot Nixon, his closest friends on the team.

"Being the class act that Nomar is, he wished us well," Varitek said. "He's been a tremendous part of this organization through the years, even this year. He's as deserving as all of us to be here."

The Sox ended Garciaparra's 10-year relationship with the team at the July trading deadline, sending him to the Cubs in a four-way deal in which they acquired Orlando Cabrera and Doug Mientkiewicz.

"He wished us well and told me to tell the guys he was thinking about them and was happy for us," Nixon said. "We all understand that certain things happen in baseball you can't control, but for as long as he was with the team and for everything he did, it doesn't feel right that he's not here."

While Cabrera has been a welcomed addition to the Sox, many teammates continue to honor Garciaparra's legacy.

"Nomar was such a big part of getting us to this point and helping this organization," Varitek said. "I'm not taking anything away from the job Orlando has done. I love everything about him. I just wish we could have both of them here."

Laice,

first thanks for all the great info.  A quick question.  Since your an obvious member of the Star Wars Elite, how do you feel about Hayden Christiansen being imposed in the "Return of Jedi" DVD with Yoda & Obi-Wan?  I think its cool

What is the "Star Wars elite?"

Entire NHL > Rangers

How many times have you watched the Packers on thanksgiving day? Now, how many times have you celebrated thanksgiving with your relatives? My uncle was a big Packers fan and my mom and grandmother were Eagles fans ... and ... well ... I guess it's because I don't like birds. I chose the Packers.

I cannot stand Boston & New York fans equally. The Red Sox win one playoff series and suddenly act as if they've taken over baseball. They say "The Yankees Suck" and crap like that. Even if the Red Sox do win the World Series, its still 26 to 5(or 6, not sure) overall.

As for Yankees fans, you lost ONE series. Look at the past decade. 10 straight playoff appearances. 9 straight division championships. 6 American Pennats and 4 World Championships. Yeah it sucks losing to your rival in the playoffs but it happens to everyone. You don't have a right to bitch for a long time.

As a fan of a team where 70 wins is accomplishment, Im sick of all the Yankees/Red Sox bullshit. The Red Sox are NO better than the Yankees. Pedro=bought. Schilling=bought. Man Ram=bought. Passion of the Centerfielder=bought. Foulke=bought. So the Red Sox hands are not clean here either. So both of you quit your bitching and lets all hope for a day when Detroit/KC is the blood feud of the American League

Every time I think about Anakin becoming Vader it gives me goosebumps

If Ashlee Simpson ends up on that tour there is a very good chance of her getting raped. No, Im not joking

If Peja goes to Indy id love it. Trading the best on the ball defender for a perimiter shooting cherry picker. Please do that. It would lock up the East for the Pistons

Houston=Overrated!

T-Mac and Francis are basically the same player. Selfish ball hogs who think they should be the first option. That offense should run through Yao, considering he's 7'5" and the best passing big man in years, but it wont cuz T-Mac is a dick. But look out for Bobby Sura!

As to the Pistons repeating?

Yes Sir!

I picked this World Series in February, true story

Chowd Fans....does this mean the curse is lifted?

Ill be damned

2004 American League Champions Boston Red Sox

You can take the pitcher off of the Expos, but you cant get the Expo out of the pitcher

The Passion of the Centerfielder will take you to the promise land

GET OUT THE RYE BREAD AND THE MUSTARD GRANDMA!!!!!!

I heard somewhere that the lead singer from The Chris Warren Band is Hunter's brother or brother-in-law? Confirm or deny

If Tony Clark is the hero I will slit my throat. I saw him for YEARS in Detroit underachieve time and time again

This game is just too close to call. The Red Sox got all the momentum in the world but the Yankees are the Yankees and this is at Yankee stadium so who knows. This is tighter than Bush/Kerry

You support your teams because if you like sports, the local ones are the ones you see the most, and thus yiu grow emotionally attached to them

Last night during the game:

McCarver: "ARod is trying to explain that the slap was a part of his normal running motion"

Me: "Yeah, if he runs like a girl"

Win or lose for the BoSox tomorrow, this is something we'll be telling our grandkids about

Cant people let that go? Zimmer doesn't even work for the Yankees

But good lord do all these games have to last three days a piece
