Look Who's Laughing Now

Last year the Yankees and their fans relished the opportunity to face the Red Sox in the ALCS. They knew the road to the world series would have to go through them. This year, although you won't hear anything different from the Gotham set, it is the Red Sox who relish the opportunity to face the Yankees and atone for last years game 7 meltdown of a turn over. Curt Schilling will face Mike Mussina for game 1, the very same match up that happened 3 years ago when Curt played for the Diamondbacks. So Mike, last time Curt beat you twice in the Word Series, how do you feel about facing him again?

"I know this is what everyone was hoping for, I imagine," Yankees Game 1 starter Mike Mussina said Monday. "I think it's the way it should be."

You think it is? Sounds like you know you are going to lose again. Curt how do you feel about this aforementioned opportunity?

"I'm not sure I can think of any scenario more enjoyable than making 55,000 people from New York shut up," Schilling said.

Well said.
