To Be a Yankee or Red Sox Fan??? That is the Question...

During game one of the ALCS I was chatting with two of my friends. One a Japanese girl who used to live in Boston but likes Matsui, the other a guy from Boston who is an ALT here. The girl is named Ai, the guy named Vin...I am just going to post our conversations...

Ai : are you watching the game? or listening to the radio or something?
Me: matsui just scored...2-0!!
Me: haha
Me: I am chatting with my red sox fan friend now...he is upset
Ai : lol
Ai : i should be a red sox fan too since i was in boston
Me: ouch
Ai : i do like red sox but i like yankees too
Me: you can't like both...it's sacreligious
Me: CHOOSE!
Ai : lol
Ai : i know
Ai : i guess im for yankees now
Me: you're a champion
Ai : i like the players
Me: yay!
Ai : although....i cant turn my back on martinez tho
Me: my friend called you a "traitor"
Ai : lol
Me: I copied and pasted that to him and he is even more upset now
Ai : he in boston?
Me: haha
Me: nahh...Japan, he lives in Nara...he is a JET
Ai : ah ic
Me: yah!
Ai : haha
Ai : well tell him i still like red sox and good ol fenway park
Me: you can't like both!! that's like rooting for both Hitler and France in WW2!!
Ai : LOL
Me: You must choose...muppet
Me: haha
Ai : im a muppet now???
Ai : hahaha
Me: all Red Sox fans are
Ai : lol
Me: because, by definition, a muppet is someone who is controlled like those puppets on TV...since the Yanks own the Sox; Yanks fans own Sox fans...we're in your head!
Ai : hahaha
Me: so who's it gonna be? Yanks or Sox? Good or Evil? Right or Wrong? Pinstripes or "Idiots?"
Ai : lol
Ai : like i said, right now, im for yankees
Me: until they lose to the Sox right?
Ai : no as long as matsui is in
Me: You are painfully Japanese...and by the way, Yanks will always top the Sox in the end
Ai : haha

And now Vin...

Vin : i have the boxscores up and it is pretty sweet on espn
Vin : pitch by pitch
Me: Yeah ESPN has a great setup
Vin : olerud out!!!
Me: it happens
Vin : so who scored
Vin : i missed it
Vin : bernie single??
Me: hit a long foul though down the line first
Me: Matsui scored on bernie's single
Me: check out MLB.com's setup...it's even sweeter...
Vin : and matsui hit sheffieild in
me: yup
Vin : damn japanese
Me: http://mlb.mlb.com/mlb/scoreboard/sb_20041012.html
Me: click on the link titled "gameday" on the top of the little boxscore
Me: I have that and the radio broadcast going
Vin : is that the 9.95 deal??
Me: that's what i got...but the gameday thing is free
Vin : i think i can deal with espn
Me: wait...I got the 14.95 deal...
Me: the mlb.com applet is wicked cool man...it has the exact location of the pitches in the strike zone...
Me: it's quite elaborate...you only need to pay to listen or watch the tv telecasts...not to see the applet thingy
Vin : i was downloading that last time and my computer shut down remember??
Me: ahhh that's what did it...muh bad
Vin : maybe nit
Vin : not
Vin : i was downloading too many things at once
Me: hah...at work?
Vin : umm yes i am
Me: Mo just got to Yankee Stadium
Me: yes!
Vin : MO???vaughn
Me: Mariano Rivera...Mo Vaugh is a ghost in NY haha
Vin : oh
Me: in NY we call Rivera "Mo"
Vin : oops
Me: it's all good
Vin : i guess i dont live in NY
Me: I know...Vaugh never should've left Boston...
Me: inning over
Vin : 9 up 9 down eh
Me: yah
Me: life is good
Vin : this is a little slow, but o.k
Vin : maybe 3 or 5 sec delay
Me: did you read the Boston Herald article from this morning (Boston time)??
Vin : not yet which one??
Me: about "How to Beat the Yankees"...it was a Peter Gammons impersonation
Me: I came across this article purely by accident...but it gave me a good laugh
Me: yeah Jeter!
Vin : reading it now
Vin : hold on
Me: ight
Me: Jeter on 2nd, A-Rod on first...no outs...Sheffield at bat, not lookin good man
Vin : wow way behind alex is still at bat
