Gee that was hilarious, way to go.

All I am saying is that miracles can happen, I think as a Sox fan you will agree with me on that.

 

If by that you're saying that it's going to take a miracle for your guys to pull it out, you're right. But don't count on one. It's probably also a good thing that you don't care what we think of you or your team.... because no one here likes you OR your team. But since it is a free nation, I'm sure you will continue on posting pictures of Derek Jeter and making stupid comments, and as much as you enjoy yourself on here, we enjoy 10x as much laughing at you. So continue on, your posts have the typical intelligence of a Yankees fan. :lol:

Assuming the Red Sox have the lead or are only a few games back on the back stretch they will win the East the bulk of thier games are at Fenway where they are dominant. The Guardians will win the Wild Card, the Yankees are done.

 

ARod2212 go away no one wants you here.

Well after today let's look at this. we just took 3 out of 4 from the a very good fundamental and tough Cleveland Guardians. You guys got destroyed in 3 games against the struggling O's. Now i'm not saying you guys suck, because the Red sox are a great baseball team, but we have momentum and we are not the same team you faced in May. Should be fun

Yeah, last time you won 8 in a row you ended up losing 22 of your next 30 or some disgustingly embarrassing figure like that. Oh, by the way, it took an 8 game streak to get within THREE GAMES of us, thats how bad off you are. We lose some games against the O's and yet were still in first.

Let's not pretend the Guardians were playing great baseball going into that series. Besides, we had once gone into Jacobs Field and swept the Guardians when they were playing their best... so I'm not impressed. You were at home, we were on the road playing a team that was in a situation in which they HAD to do good -- the O's played like their backs were against the wall. Chances are, if not for game 1 of the series being called because of rain, we probably would've walked out with a 2-2 split because we had gotten into their crappy bullpen.

 

And why aren't you the same team we faced? You still look old, overpayed, and now, you've got injuries. Come push us around in Fenway and THEN you can talk.

Damnit, why? Why do you only post when your team wins? Then when you come back you have these stupid logics that let's say for instance you swept.... i don't know... let's say you swept Toronto at their place, and we only won two of three from them in Boston, and therefore according to you, you have the better team. That's stupid.

OK, dumbass it was 2 out of 3. Not 3 out of 4.

 

Why are we talking to this guy if he doesn't even know how many games the Yankees plays?

Oops, you're right, I could of sworn they would have called that game, cause of TS Cindy.

They should have, the weather was brutal in the first few innings. I guess with Old Timer's Day and more bad weather on the radar they had to get it in, since I believe Cleveland isn't on the schedule again in the Bronx this year.

I don't only post when the yankees win. Go ahead and look at all the times I've posted when we were losing games. I usually post at least twice a week. i didn't say we have the better team. I leave that up to you who thinks the yankees are done. beleive I know your worried about your team, I know first hand how my team is been up and down this year. all's I'm saying is that the yankees this time around look diffrent. were getting consistant pitching it may not be great but good enough to win and our bats are on fire.

Technically they're not done, but after they get swept at fenway, it sure will be tough. I voted good luck in 2006, even though they'll have the luck of the irish in 2010.

I think they are going to come back, or steinbrenner is going to kill them all :lol: . I think they will make it in the playoffs. In the wildcard maybe. I hope they don't though.

I predicted you guys either losing the series or tying the series against the O's. i knew you guys couldn't go in there and win the series. Now i'm predicted a 2 game split in Fenway, but if its close in say the last game the Yanks will take the series, because we have more debth on the bench and plus we will only have 3 guys you played in the all-star game. Now of course I'm happy about this, but the thing the Sox have looked flat after the Texas series. I guess they didn't think Cleveland would've taken that series in Fenway. Then you go into Texas take 2 out of 3. Then go to a struggling O's ballpark and only score 10 runs the whole series. Yes I'm sticking up for the Yanks and pointing out of the negatives on the sox in the last couple of weeks. but everyone on here does the same thing in reverse.

If you knew we couldn't go in there and win the series, why leave the possibility of a tie in your prediction? Maybe because like everyone else in here you don't know what is going to happen. Spare us your "homer" predictions......especially when you don't own up to them after you are wrong.....and you have been.....OFTEN.

^^^^^^ Agree with Tek, lets not get cocky. Yea we are close, I can smell it, but we might go in there and get our asses handed to us. Let's just wait to the game, and see what happens.

I hadn't read this, but wow! I don't know why all of this hostility, is it my team?, LOL. Relax, you need a drink and maybe a cig. Its baseball, enjoy the game you don't like me and I can tell you there is no love lost. :harhar:

i always own up to my wrong predictions. i'm not looking at this as a homer prediction. just predicted as a baseball fan. I knew you guys wouldn't take the series in baltimore, because of the series in Texas and then without a dayoff going to play 4 games straight. You could've won two but not 3 games. Well Ok I'll admit to this i though the O's would have won the 1st 2 games, so i was wrong on that.

I am brand new to this forum. I stumbled on it by accident. I read all 8 pages of this thread. I have to say, Red Sox fans can really make a person nauseous.

Anyway, from my name it should be clear that I am a Yankee fan. What should be made more than clear from the outset is this: I HATE THE EFFING RED SOX. NO, NO, HATE IS NOT STRONG ENOUGH A WORD. THE DEPTHS OF MY SEERING HATRED FOR THE RED SOX AND THEIR ARROGANT, LOWLIFE, KNOW-NOTHING FANS CANNOT BE MEASURED BY ANY EXISTING TECHNOLOGY. EVERY miserable piece of s*** scumbag player on the Red Sox--and their effing lowlife manager Terry Francona--could be on a plane that crashes into the Earth at 600 miles an hour and burn up and be turned to ashes and the wreckage be spread over miles of s***-covered, urine-soaked cow pasture and I would't lose a nanosecond's sleep over it. I am so sick of these goddamn Red Sox and their fans.

The Red Sox won one world series in 86 freakin' years and now all of a sudden they and their fans are the greatest things since the tampon. After all of your nonsensical rantings and ravings and your post-World Series win posturing, let me remind you worthless lowlives what the reality is.

 

The reality is that the Red Sox spent 85 years as the joke of the Major Leagues. While the Yankees were making it to World Series after World Series from 1923-2003 (and winning 26 of 39), the Red Sox were spending their time either listening to the World Series on the radio or watching it on television. And the 4 lousy times the Red Sox actually DID make it to the World Series between 1918 and 2003, they not only lost ALL 4 but lost all 4 in

GAME 7. If that isn't a history of CHOKES, I don't know what is. Even when your shitass team had its first chance to make it to the World Series in 1999 since losing it to the Mets in 1986, you got easily beat, 4 games to 1, by the YANKEES. Then when your team had yet another chance to get to the World Series, in 2003, again they choked and lost it in GAME 7--TO THE NEW YORK YANKEES.

 

So before you miserable Red Sox fans forget, kindly remember the 85-year history of the choke sox as you are reminded of the Yankees' 39 AL pennants and 26 World Series titles in the same time frame.

 

But no, Red Sox fans don't want to remember 1918-2003. Now that the Red Sox were given a gift by the baseball gods to keep themselves and their fans from committing suicide, now Red Sox fans wanna stand up and stick their chests out because their team won ONE World Series in 86 years. HOW MOTHERFU**ING ARROGANT. The Yankees have been winners in the post season since before the Great Depression while the Red Sox before 2004 hadn't won a World Series since the Treaty of Versailles. And correct me if I am wrong, but never did Yankee fans make this much noise and spew this much vomit in the wake of a World Series win. God, you bitches make me sick! Shut your friggin' arrogant, lowlife mouths already and just enjoy your win. You demean yourselves and baseball with your unsportsmanlike attitudes.

 

And while I am at it, let me also say that ONE World Series win doesn't entitle Red Sox players to dictate who should pitch in the bullpen and where they should or should not be played and how often. SO TELL JOHNNY CAVEMAN DAMON AND KEVIN MILLAR TO KEEP THEIR GODDAMN TRAPS SHUT. You would NEVER see a Yankee player dictate to management who should or should not pitch in the bullpen or how often they should play or at what position. The arrogance of Red Sox players is truly disgusting and a reflection of their lack of respect for the management and for ML baseball in general.

 

Now as far as this great debate over whether the Yankees will make the post season, Red Sox fans' opinions mean about as much as the peanuts in my s***. I couldn't care less what you think or feel about the Yankees or their chances to make it to the playoffs. I make no predictions. I simply support my team, especially against the retard Red Sox, and I hope they make win enough games to make it to the postseason. That's it. I don't need to spend my valuable time and effort arguing with morons whose entire lives revolve around the Red Sox and whether they win another World Series. You don't know what is going to happen, so keep your mouths shut. If the Yankees have problems, they will try to fix them. You don't need to worry about them. You should focus on what your own team does. In fact, if i were a Red Sox fan, i'd focus more on my team's disgusting, unsportsmanlike behavior, arrogant attitude, and disrespect to ML baseball, rather than on what the Yankees do. Every time I see that sloven-looking, hairy caveman Damon come out of the dugout, I just wanna puke. He is a lowlife. Red Sox management allows that idiot to walk around a ML baseball field like he just travelled 2 million years into the future from the era of the Neanderthal Man. No wonder his wife left him.

 

I will end with 2 things. First: Yes, the Yankees lost the 2004 ALCS and the Red Sox won it. FINE. I can admit that. Just as long as Red Sox fans can admit that the ONLY reasons your team won are because of the Yankee bullpen's failure--Flash Gordon and Mariano Rivera--to put the game away, and because of David Ortiz and his hail mary hits and homers that almost always save your team's asses from a loss. Ortiz hit the winning home run in the game vs. the Angels (after Vlad hit a homer to tie the game) that got the Red Sox to the 2004 ALCS, and he hit the home run and double that won BOTH games 4 and 5 of the ALCS in extra innings to save the Red Sox' asses after no one on the Red Sox lineup could get it done after 26 combined innings and 11+ hours of baseball. I blame Joe Torre for allowing Yankee pitchers to pitch to that fu**ing ugly gorilla instead of walking him, but in the end, just remember that Johnny Damon and Manny Ramirez got shut down in games 1-6 and once again the Red Sox had to rely on David Ortiz to save their asses. In fact, if you look at the stats in the regular season, you will see that most of the games the Red Sox win are the result of Manny and/or David homers and hits. The rest of the Red Sox lineup is practically worthless. I give the Red Sox credit for having decent starting pitching but in the end that team's wins come mostly off the bats of Ramirez and Ortiz. That is not a team effort when 2 players hit half of the entire team's home runs and 1/4-1/3 of the RBI's. If you don't agree, go look at the actual stats and see the almost 50 homers and 175 RBI's these 2 idiots have already and then check the homers and RBI's of the other players in the starting lineup and the totals for the entire Red Sox team. The difference here is, the Yankees win as a team--it's a team effort. The Red Sox win off the bats of two players whom the Red Sox pray will save their asses by hitting hail mary homers. When those two don't hit homers or drive in runs, the Red Sox almost always lose. That is a fact. Some "team".

 

And second: The Red Sox won a World Series. FINE. It took them 86 years to do it, longer than most people live on this Earth, but they finally did it. Good for them. But how about if you Red Sox fans just sit back and enjoy the game of baseball for a change instead of constantly acting like a bunch of arrogant *******s who think they know everything all of a sudden. The Yankees have been winning championships and playing in them for 80+ years and they and their fans don't come back the following season after a World Series championship and shove it down everyone's throats and act like they're God's gift to baseball. The Red Sox players are lowlife, opinionated, arrogant *******s; unfortunately, this has rubbed off on their fans. And in the end, the team and its fans only demean and degrade the sport of baseball by their actions. No World Series victory--not even one in 86 years--can justify that kind of behavior...or excuse it.

 

P.S. :thumbsup: GO YANKEES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :thumbsup:

OK, we have ortiz you don't, why are you posting on a red sox board anyways, we actually like to have intelligent conversations/debates, you are just wasting space....basically heres what you said "the red sox didnt win the alcs, the yankees lost it", heres an idea if i can quote stiffler "I'll get you a spoon so you can eat my ass", later asswipe

 

p.s. face it you are now the definition of Choke, look C-H-O-K-E up in the dictionary and you will see the yankees having a gangbang!

EVEN AFTER FIRST-HALF FLOP, BOMBERS CAN OVERTAKE RED SOX AT FENWAY

 

July 14, 2005 -- BOSTON - After all the losing streaks, all the calamities, all the angst and all the aggravation, after all those losses to the Devil Rays and the Royals, all the days and nights when the Yankees looked as if they'd just been introduced to each other five minutes before batting practice, all the hitting slumps and shaky pitching performances, all those mornings when the morning newspaper insisted they were a fourth-place team ... after all of that, there is this:

Another four-game series at Fenway Park, starting tonight, another weekend of Yankees-Red Sox when first place in the division is on the table, a remarkable mile post in a season that has thus far been impossible to predict, impossible to prophesize, impossible to anticipate, impossible to define.

 

So we're back where we were at the beginning, three-and-a-half months ago, when the length and breadth of the Yankees' world began and ended with the Red Sox, when the width and circumference of the Red Sox's world was measured in strict, precise, pinstriped terms.

 

"After everything we've gone through," Joe Torre said the other day, "where we are isn't a bad place to be."

 

After everything, the Yankees are 21/2 games behind the Red Sox, two out in the loss column, and even if the Orioles still stand between them, a half-game up on the Yankees, that still seems terribly temporary. After everything, it's entirely possible that by Saturday evening, the Yankees could be in first place in the American League East.

 

One more reminder of just how long the baseball season really is, something we have known even if the mid-summer ramblings of Ruben Sierra and Gary Sheffield hadn't been entered into the public record in the past few days. At the start of the season, it was easy to finger the Sox and the Yanks as odds-on favorites to forge a rubber match ALCS this October.

 

"We're a couple of teams that have an awful lot of experience, and between us we've won an awful lot of baseball games the last few years," Red Sox manager Terry Francona said last weekend. "I don't know if that gives us an advantage over other teams or not, but I'd rather have that experience working with me than the other way around."

 

 

 

The wild-card safety net is no given this time around. The Twins and the Rangers, maybe even the Guardians, are still legitimate threats to win an awful lot of ballgames while the Yankees, Red Sox, Orioles and Blue Jays are beating each other up in the East. The Yankees have won the East seven straight years, and the Sox have finished second seven straight years, an unprecedented 1-2 run in the history of professional sports, and the last few years, that was good enough to invite both into the postseason pool.

 

This time, there is a genuine premium on first place. This time, it's entirely possible that the do-or-die, win-or-go-home challenges that arrived only once Game 7 of the ALCS arrived the past two years might actually come a few weeks earlier, at the start of October rather than the middle of the month, when the Yankees and Red Sox finish the regular season with three games at Fenway.

 

And wouldn't that be something?

 

"We're going to be in first place by the end," was the vow Sierra made as the Yankees headed out the door for the All-Star break, and while it might have seemed needlessly boastful, Sierra may speak the truth, and may give voice to the Yankees' greatest priority. First place or bust.

 

So Fenway this weekend will be something more than simply a pleasant midsummer resumption of hoary hostilities.

 

Neither team can win the division this weekend. But both sure can endure devastating body blows. A sweep in either direction sends a loud message. Three out of four would, too.

 

After all that's come before, an unpredictable prologue, a fickle prelude, what we have this weekend is something that always grants us the best promises of summer: Yankees. Red Sox.

 

With real stakes sitting on the table. End the All-Star break already. Let's get on with it.
