Rays fans representing!!

[ORS]

Game 5 is in Fenway. Is your prediction changing, Forrest?

[ToddKalas]

I didn't mean see the series end. Going tonight and tomorrow... I guess I'm going to enjoy seeing the beginning of the end. That's a better way to put it.

 

Hey... good news for you all then, huh? YOU get to see the end!

[ORS]

Nah, I don't think this series ends in Fenway for either team. I think you get your consolation prize at home.

sox outscored tampa by 20 runs in the season series.

we send a 9-0 road warrior down to that s*** hole of a stadium tonight and a guy who was 3-0 with an 0.77 era against tampa tomorrow.

as far as money goes

lowrie lester paplebon pedroia kotsay youk crisp masterson all make less than your back up outfielder and son of a great 2nd story thief, Rocco Baldelli.

Rocco has a future in organized crime when his roid rotted body finally gives out and he will be out of baseball by february and back working for the good fellas down in west warwick.

why did the rays leave hinske off the roster?

hes the only guy who has post season experience and i would think that they would like his leadership on the field,did they bring back Gerald""Ice""Williams??

[CrespoBlows]

The only fan respresentative we have is Fitzy. Nesn doesnt highlight fans in right field seats who wear bright colored wigs and shout out at the opposing outfielders

 

Fitzy f***ing sucks.

Im also surprised about Hinske not being in the ALCS

[CrespoBlows]

More heart? WTF? This team has won 2 world series since 04' date=' the players have the mental toughness and experience to grind it out into the late & chilly October nights[/quote']

 

Leave it to riverside to refute stupidity with even more stupidity.

Not necessarily true.

[rician blast]

but he WAS just on our local radio station talking about he's been on 3 or 4 Red Sox forums and got kicked off each one.

 

Was he honest enough to admit WHY he was banned? It certainly was not because he was a TB fan. It was the content of his posts, the unabashed pedalling of his video blog and his outright trollish behavior.

 

I'm guessing he said somethign to the contrary.

 

BTW, what station were you on? I'd like to check into it.

[ORS]

Local sports talk in Tampa is 620 WDAE.

[ToddKalas]

Correct... I only caught a blip of him calling in. I don't know if it was a planned segment or he was just calling in for giggles.

 

I also don't know why he got banned... I never made it past his first post with the YouTube vid.

[VA Sox Fan]

Me too!

[BoSox21]

We really don't have a problem with guys posting here who are fans of other teams, as long as they bring intelligent points to the board, not just "BWAAAAAAA RAYS ROOLZ!!!!!! BOSTED RED SUX!!!!!!"

 

That being said, why is Gom still here?

[Cocos Disciples]

A) Fitzy does indeed suck. He doesn't "represent" the Red Sox.

B ) "Mental Experience" and "Grinding it out" is ********.

C) Sox in 7.

[rician blast]

Personally I hate when fans try and BECOME the entertainment or event instead of enjoying the event...seems to me they are self-serving and can often diminish the experience for others.

 

However I will say this in Cowbell's defense:

 

If I were a fan of a team where home games saw more opposing team's fans than our own I'd be frustrated and pissed off.

 

We saw this to a lesser extent in Bruins playoff action last year with way too many Habs jerseys in the crowd and Canadian fans booing Chara every time he touched the puck. They coulda used a cowbell dinging in their ear...our shoved up their hairy french asses.

 

Nananana good bye in our building? Go f*** yourself. In the old Garden there'd have been mayhem.

 

So I guess I'm starting to understand Mr. Cow a little better...still think he's seeking a bit too much attention, though.

I was saying Fitzy is a representative becuase he is the only "fan" that is really showcased

 

It is just my belief that how the Sox players have been tested since 04, that they might have an advantage in a long series. But untested teams (Marlins, twice) have proven otherwise

 

I agree it will go up to 7 games

Don't be a hypocrite, that's exactly what Red Sox fans do. If you didn't want Habs fans in your building, then you guys should have bought the f***ing tickets. If you don't like us booing Chara, then cheer Chara. If you don't want nanana good bye in your building, then win the damn series.

f*** you. f*** your mind boggling stupidity. I can buy a webcam, burp into it, and send it to ESPN. Will that make me a representive of Red Sox Nation?

Contradicts himself so easily.

[Cocos Disciples]

To add to the list: 01 DBacks, 02 Angels, 02 Giants, 05 White Sox, 05 Astros, 06 Tigers, 07 Rockies. What?

[Jacoby_Ellsbury]

Just a random thought... around 2005/2006 (haven't really heard it since), there was some dude at Devil Rays home games who was yelling such stupid things so loud... was that Cowbell Kid??

[Cocos Disciples]

Nah, I think he's still there and he sits in the field box. At least he's somewhat creative.

[Jacoby_Ellsbury]

Nah' date=' I think he's still there and he sits in the field box. At least he's somewhat creative.[/quote']

I haven't heard him in like 2 years though. I used to laugh my ass off at some of the stuff that guy said.

 

 

 

Its good that someone else remembers him. I thought I was the only one who even acknowledged him.

[Cocos Disciples]

Either way its not the same guy; NESN showed the heckler on TV.

[msubulldogs21]

Its good that someone else remembers him. I thought I was the only one who even acknowledged him.

 

Oh I remember him. When they only had like 10,000 per game you could hear everything he said. It was great.

[Jacoby_Ellsbury]

Oh I remember him. When they only had like 10' date='000 per game you could hear everything he said. It was great.[/quote']

Well, you knew he was saying something. I could only figure out exactly what it was about half the time.

[rician blast]

Don't be a hypocrite' date=' that's exactly what Red Sox fans do. If you didn't want Habs fans in your building, then you guys should have bought the f***ing tickets.

How exactly am I a hypocrite? First I don't do any of the over-the-top s*** when I'm at a Sox game, I enjoy the game, have some brews, etc. If you're referring to my comments regarding the Bruins:

 

- I was at quite a few games so I DID buy tix

- I did cheer Chara when the Habs fans booed him

- As far as winning the series, how in the f***ing name of Toe Blake am I supposed to control that?

 

Your post is totally irrelevant to the discussion at hand. My point was that I can understand to some extent how Cowbell feels when Sox or Yanks fans inundate the Trop. It's a valid comparison to the Habs fans in Boston.

 

There's not an ounce of hypocracy in the comments I made, so blow me comma *******. And I mean that in a friendly Sox fan to Sox fan kind of way.

[ORS]

Where's Todd and Joe? I want recaps of what it was like at the Trop last night.

[soxfan17881]

Have you all seen this lunacy?

What a crock of s***. And this is not some periphery item. It's sold on the official Rays' site. How gay is that?

[soxfan17881]

Now...Here's a graphic I can get behind...
