Indeed they were. I thought that series was the best baseball I saw played all year, personally.

I like Pedro, Manny and Nomar, but I can't stand the team as a whole, or the fans. They're extremely loyal and very into the games, which I respect and admire, but they bitch and whine and moan like the world revolves around them, as if they're the only people on the planet who have ever been dissapointed. By anything. 16 championships by the Celtics and they still say "We're cursed! We'll never win anything!" What a fucking joke.

I can't see the Red Sox winning it all with such a lousy and inconsistent bullpen, anyway.
