question: is the current stage of the rivalry, (that is, a competitive one) on its way to being over too?
answer: nahh. The sox were first in the AL in runs scored, and third in team ERA. Most of that core should be back next year (i still assume that Pedro and Tek will be resigned), and i have faith that Theo will do a good job of replacing anyone that leaves.

question: This was supposed to be the year right?
answer: yeah...

question: What happened?
answer: Schilling got hurt and lost game one. It wasn't his fault, but it happened. Pedro, though he threw a good game got out-pitched (I feel like the sox hitters were so worried about scoring runs for pedro that they pressed). Game three was just terrible. The yankees pitching turned it up; I'm not sure how much credit you give them vs blame you give the sox pitchers.

question: What happens now?
answer: Well, this season isn't quite over. I don't like their chances, but having pedro and schilling to throw todays game and the next (if there is one) isn't the worst position they could be in. Shrug. we will see.

question: Where does Boston go from here?
answer: wait till next year probably, and hope that theo can pull some crazy name out of his computer that will play like an all star for half of what he should be making. Oh, and watch the Pats beat the Jets.
