Sox front office...umm not gettin' it done

[26 to 6]

ya exactly what is wrong with JT Snow. He'll have the exact same role as John Olerud had last year. In 2004 he hit .327 in 108 games. He has a career fielding percentage of .996. His not going to play everyday. He is much better than Kevin Millar.

I agree. Snow is a great defensive 1Bman and could provide leadership, and like mentioned before would be a great teacher for Youk.

I've already said this several times, so why not once again. In large, bold letters....

 

ANDRUW JONES ISN'T A FA UNTIL AFTER 2007

 

I realize, I was just giving options as Iv'e already said.

[26 to 6]

relax ORS, maybe he forgot or made a mistake or something like that. Nothing to gte all worked up over.

[26 Reasons to Hate Us]

You took a shot at me on the last page, but I think that I behave pretty well on the sox board. The only thing that might "piss people off" is my username, which is explained in my last post. Retaliation for the taunting I receive from Sox fans for the "choke".

 

 

I dont want to get into this too much more, but I'd like to point out that all the yankee fans on this board behave very well. The idiots who come on here to talk trash are weeded out very quickly. If our usernames or avatars or whatever piss you off, sorry, but theyre not gonna change. You think I wanna see that 2004 WS trophy in your avatar every time?

I'm not worked up, but since it has been posted in several places, perhaps it was missed. Large and bold isn't shouting it in this case, it is making it hard to miss.

[Cityofchampions33]

Well as you saw, next year isn't the greatest CF year FA-wise, so I posted Jones because IMO he is a big imrpovement over Damon.

Please. You toned down your rhetoric only when being warned about being banned. Your first few posts, and your username, all showed up the day after the Damon signing, and they were quite obnoxious. You showed up to "rub our faces in it", but realized you wanted to stay after seeing it was a quality site. That said, you have been much more respectful since.

[a700hitter]

You guys taunt us with the choke, so 26 to 6 is my defense. And my sig in NO WAY should piss you off, there is no anti-Sox stuff in there.

That choke was something to see. I'm glad you were able to experience. It must have been excruciatingly painful. I hope it did suck all the fun out of the 4 WS Championships that you are old enough to have witnessed, "4 to 1."

did you actually read my posts?

 

I was warned about being banned before I said ANYTHING offensive. I'm pretty sure calvnhobs6 just warned me based on my username. Sorry I joined around the time of the Damon signing. I just wanted to see what sox fans' opinions were on the subject.

 

real quick - my first post EVER at talksox.com:

 

Maybe I'm missing something, but how are the Sox getting picks from the yankees? Didn't Damon decline arbitration?

whoa no reason for that, im not here to start trouble.

 

btw thanks for the info...

No, we dont expect you to like seeing the WS trophy, but hey, this is a Red Sox board after all. But if you want to come here and continue to back names ike 26 to 6 or 26 reasons to hate us as being inoffensive, all the while telling us not to be "m*******s" on our own turf, then we could just as easily follow SOSHs footsteps and ban all yankee fans.

 

And edit: lets get this thread back on topic...

[Cityofchampions33]

Rubbinng it in each other's faces are what come along with a rivalry, and that has helped somewhat made this rivalry the greatest rvialry in sport. Both teams have had their ups and downs and now it is starting to even oput a bit. We got Schill, they got ARod. We got Bekcett, they got Damon. We have all rubbed it in their faces one time or another, so sometimes we have to accept it when the Yankees triumph over us, and that gives their fans the right to be proud of it, however I do agree, that it is annoying when they make accounts just to do it for one specific thing. It's good to see that some stay and contribute, ala 26 reasons.

[He Hate Me]

it's comments like these that make me question whether you're really as old as you say you are, and whether you're more interested in dialogue or simply having everything boil down to a shouting match. If you dont like the fact that the admins have yankee fans on this board, andit bothers you so much, I suggest you try going to SoSH or some other board where you can preach to the choir.

 

BTW, I went through losing season after losing season in the late 80's and early 90's, I'm pretty happy with what the team has done in the last 10 years.

You are right, I apologize. We had several join right around that time and I got you confused with some of the ones that have been banned already.

So because this is a Red Sox board we have no choice but to put up with taunting and disrespect?? Havent you guys ever heard of hospitality

you overreact to almost everything on this board. If you are truly the age you claim to be (which I seriously doubt), then perhaps you should not use this newfangled Internets thing so much since it's probably bad for your blood pressure. You get mad when you see someone has the word ARod in their username and accuse them of making it to purposefully piss off other people when 1) you don't know anything about him, and 2) he has been here for a year longer than you. I expect that kind of imbecilic reaction from a 15year old. Do a better job of acting, and none of us are impressed by your baseball trivia Googling skills.

My, my such acrimony. I was referring to user names like "26 to 6" or "26 reasons to Hate Me." Unfortunately, I replied to the wrong poster. ARod names or other refernces to Yankee stuff is okay. I just think, as do others apparently, that the 26 to 6 and 26 Reasons to Hate Me names are intended to iiritate. The only reason it seems silly me is that those people are squawking about stuff they never witnessed or experienced. When I point out that it should be 4 to 1 or 4 reasons to hate me, you guys go crazy. Lighten up. You've seen 4 Championships. Congratualtions. When it comes to the Yankee- Red Sox rivalry, you have seen Boone stick it to the Sox in 2003, and a 5 game ALCS victory in 1999. But you also had to witness a the worst Choke in history in 2004 topped off by a terrible spanking in game 7. Then we went on to break your 1998 record fro consecutive wins in the post-season. Isn't that what you are all so angry about? I'm not angry. Whatever you want to say, I cna take it without getting mad, because until they start playing 9 game ALCS s, you can't top what was done to your beloved Yankees in 2004.

It's amusing that you're the one to bring up anger issues when you'e one of the more abrasive posters I've seen on this board. and yes the Yankees choked in 2004, you only got here a few weeks ago so obviously you don't know my feelings or posts on this subject matter, which I'll forgive since I'm the kind of guy who lets a retarded kid get away with double dribbling. Remind me again why we're talking about this when the whole issue is that you seem to always whining/complaining/bitching about something? Just because I call you out on it doesn't mean I'm angry. This is the internet, it's pretty stupid to get fussy about something on a chat board, but then judging from your previous posts, you probably haven't learned this lesson yet. When you get to legal drinking age, maybe we can have more contructive discussions.
