Prior to that, considering where Presidents came from, it's a little difficult to tell who they rooted for, although New York State native FDR was seen at a few Yankee games, but also claimed to have rooted for the Dodgers.<br /><br />Enjoy the Nobel Peace Prize, Mr. President, because your beloved White Sox may soon wish that John McCain had won.Uncle Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11618876073064128027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8624254435992330014.post-57206856731249603562009-10-09T14:22:26.961-04:002009-10-09T14:22:26.961-04:00Paul,

Although, didn't Martinez catch Beckett on his last win? <br /><br />Lisa,<br /><br />Wouldn't you rather have a WS title over a Nobel Peace Prize?<br /><br />Enjoy your weekend everyone. I am hoping mine gets better with a RS win.NAMnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8624254435992330014.post-391511270056289782009-10-09T13:35:25.450-04:002009-10-09T13:35:25.450-04:00Ah the travesty of it all!!! The whole Nobel thin...Ah the travesty of it all!!! The whole Nobel thing is clearly rigged!<br /><br />I think you'll get your Yankee win - even if AJ blows it I have to think the offense will pick him up. I wonder how many times the camera will focus on Posada in the dugout.<br /><br />On the topic of the whole personal catcher thing - I am truly shocked to read today that Martinez and NOT Tek will catch Beckett tonight. Curious if that's been the plan or if Francona would have played it differently had the Sox won last night.Paul from Bostonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8624254435992330014.post-26306438941689958012009-10-09T13:16:20.394-04:002009-10-09T13:16:20.394-04:00I actually think you two deserve the Nobel Peace P...I actually think you two deserve the Nobel Peace Prize over the actual person who will receive it. At least you two have an actual record of accomplishment and don't rely on the promise of one which may, or may not, happen.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
