Does KFK cameo as Doug Heffernan's cousin on The King of Queens. http://www.thecomicstrip.ca/aspfileup/files/Gary%20Valentine.bmp

JT needs to stretch it out this winter and make a shot for the 5th rotation spot. He's not looking stellar, but he is looking capable holding a back of the rotation spot.

Call Morpheus, we need someone who can read the Matrix to translate.

Despite what he did in one appearance against them, Minnesota is a better offensive team than Baltimore. Their soft spot will be pitching, and I only count two consistent, dependable pitchers. One starter, one reliever. The rest is a crap shoot, including Rasner.

I'd much rather you took Rasner to the playoffs too. He's looking like a peach tonight.

Of course there's a double standard, and it's because it boils down to motive. Sox fans trashing the Yankees on a Sox site aren't going out of their way to piss people off, and if Yankee fans are here, reading it, and getting upset, then they have no one to blame other than themselves. If you are a conservative, listening to Air America is only going to piss you off, so don't blame them when you do listen and get mad. Yankee fans trashing the Sox on a Sox board is an example of people seeking out a specific audience with the intent of pissing them off. Motive matters, thus the double standard.

I'm not saying you can't have an opinion, nor am I saying you can't celebrate your victories here. I am saying that you can't expect to do those things here free from retort. You don't understand? Everyone of the face of the planet knows that it's obnoxious for the victor to gloat over their accomplishment in the face of the foe. That's basic sportsmanship. If you guys are going to bust balls, it's going to come back, even if we have no leg to stand on.

Are you really this dense? Well, actually, I guess I'm not surprised. Here, see if you can follow.... 700 posts: "Thuuuuuuhhh Yankeeees Loooooose" -- A factual dig at the Yankees and Sterling You post: That's idiotic Then you post: "3rd place cafe for the Sox?" -- A factual dig at the Sox Still don't see it? His comment and your comment are no different. According to you, we shouldn't encourage idiotic posts, and I'm all for it. I guess that means you won't be posting any more. Can't say you'll be missed.

2006 Season Honors MVP-- Ortiz Cy Young-- Papelbon Best Glove-- Lowell Best Catch-- Coco Best Rookie callup standout-- Papelbon (still a rookie this year) Best Game-- Forget the date, but the one where Coco got on, stole 2nd, bunted over to 3B, Youk sac fly in the 8th, Papelbon shut the door Best Moment-- More than one - Papi's walkoffs. I'll never tire of them. Disappointment of a Position Player-- Coco Disappointment of a Pitcher-- Nuke Season Comeback Position Player-- Lowell Season Comeback Pitcher-- Schilling

And, we have done no harm to anyone. You guys, whether you are aware of it or not, are stirring the pot when you make cracks about the Sox and its fans and when you celebrate Yankee success here. It's a rivalry for a reason, you know? And, don't act like you are above being sensitive to the issue. You went on a tirade over the naming of the Yankee forum, and you obviously get bent out of shape when 700 celebrates a Yankee loss. And, this is important, this is when you are reading content on a Sox board. I can't imagine how upset you get when you are on Yankee board.

SOTK has it right. I was responding to J_P and J_P only. On the last page he said there's no need for idiotic posts, I noted the irony, and he asked for an example. It didn't take long for him to provide one, so I drew attention to it. If you will note, I didn't make the Second Place Cafe name, nor did I come out explicitly in favor of it. I did defend the fact that it is the prerogative of the owner, a Sox fan, to do that if he wishes and whining by the Yankee fans about it was misplaced -- can't change the fact that in the end it is and will always be Sox board.

Griffey Jr. hit 56 and lead the league in '98, but Juan Gone won the MVP.

In the end it is a Sox board. That doesn't change. You guys run over here and post every Yankee success -- and when it's a failure you remind us of past successes -- only to make it known to Sox fans. If you were truly interested in just appreciating your beloved Yankees, you'd do it where Yankee fans are embraced, on a Yankee message board. I don't care what you say about how you don't like most of the Yankee boards, you aren't here to just enjoy the rivalry. You've even said as much yourself when you posted that the reason you came over here and picked your username was to remind Sox fans after their '04 ALCS ultimate comeback about their place in history relative to the Yankees. There's no altruism there. Basically, it comes down to this. If you must - just can't find the control to avoid - celebrating Yankee success on a Sox board, then you have to expect to get s*** on by Sox fans. Not fair? Maybe, but that's life. You have the choice to avoid that, but it won't go away. I post on a couple of Yankee boards - infrequently - and I have the respect to leave the rivalry at the door. I only talk about the facts and figures - stats - of the game. Perhaps I'm being a little sensitive, but it's only because I expect the same respect in return.

This is the typical post. Nothing more than petty baiting. It's childish and idiotic. Thanks for providing an example so quickly.
