Oh man, no need to get dirty with this argument, but yeah right now, the Yankees are a better team than the Red Sox. I can admit that.

I understand your perspective. I remember when the Sox struggled out of the gate in 2005 how pissed off I was about how every other fan was laid back because they were still on a 2004 high. Well not me, I was ready for a repeat to show that 2004 was not just a one year wonder. I could even tell the players were way too laid back, they were being lazy in the field and at the plate. I remember at the beginning of the 2005 postseason how I was the only one who predicted a White Sox sweep of the Red Sox because the Red Sox pitching was s***, and Matt Clement was our goddamn ace. But nope, everyone else, including ESPN predicted the Sox to make it back into the World Series. They even predicted a Yanks-SOX ALCS III. So from that standpoint, I understand what you are saying. I want to win it all every single year. Thats the whole motive to sports. Now I'm pissed off at this years team already for the lack of clutch hitting, and if this trend continues Theo may need to pull off another midseason trade to get this team going.

Do you think Petey will choke up after his standing O when he returns to Boston this June?

Yes, history is a bitch but unchangeable at the same time. I remember when Boston won it all in 2004, Yankee fans were in a state of apathy, and then came the 26-6 remarks. However, I vividly remember prior to 2004 how most Yankee fans thought Boston winning it all was impossible, and if so hell would have frozen over, and the Earth would be in eternal damnation. Well what happened to all of that? Yankee fans not only treated it like a minor occurence, but they made it sound like winning a World Series was a bad thing to do. To top it off, they are buying into the logic that the next Boston World Championship will come in another 86 years.

If you're serious then I'll ask you this: how old are you? And if you're not then I'm assuming you were being sarcastic to be funny, but you failed miserably on that one.

I hate to say it, but I agree with your post. Some fans just give me a bad name.

I'm confused. So the Red Sox are not in this to win a World Series? Then what the hell are the other 29 teams motives for playing baseball? And before you go clicking that reply icon I'm a diehard Red Sox fan, and I love my team, however should Florida and Cleveland fans call us cheaters for getting Mike Lowell, Josh Beckett, Coco Crisp, and Josh Bard?

I was humble, although I did walk around doing a Derek Jeter fist pump, and that pissed off some people.

Are you even serious with that question?

Yes, another well thought out post from the Rivernator.

Don't you love dealing with idiots?

Not anymore, he swore his allegiance with Boston last season, and then became a renegade this year.

I use to drill Babe Ruth in the knees. I was the only pitcher he couldn't hit off against. His lifetime average against me was an embarassing .045.

:wtf:

What about Wells? I didn't hear many cheers on Opening Night of last year, and he was certainly a significant part throughout the dynasty era.

Why? Just because I'm not making a homeristic statement? The fact is, this team cannot score with men on base. It's been either all or nothing as of late, and maybe Fenway changes it a bit, but just because they're playing the Yankees doesn't mean all of their flaws will magically be solved. That argument is total crap.

Even though you're a bit annoying with your pro-Yankee posts in the game threads, I like most of your posts on here. They are very well backed and well thought out. Glad you got away from the ignorance of the YES Boards. :thumbsup:

The Yankees will probably sweep Boston this week anyways since Boston can't score if their lives depended on it.

No reason to even go there to begin with. The people over there have an average age of 14 and know nothing about baseball other than Derek Jeter.

The YES Network seems to be a bit obsessed over this series. They don't even bother recaping todays game, they're just like "SOX-YANKS JOHNNY DAMON JOHNNY DAMON! SEE YOU TOMORROW NIGHT! OR YOU CAN WATCH OUR OVERHEAD VIEW TELECAST OF OUR PRODUCTION TRUCKS HEADING TO BOSTON!" David Justice: Uhhh I'm a blabbing moron.

The people who come in drunk will be the ones who ruin the silence.

I was thinking about his post some more, and I actually think the silent treatment would be killer. I know the YES announcers would have a lot to say about it, especially Michael Kay who has boners over ex-Red Sox players joining the Yankees. However, how realistic is it to say you can reach out to the 35,000+ who will be in attendance at tomorrow nights game and convince them that this reaction would be the ultimate payback? Apathy kills.

BOO him. If a player swears allegiance with one team one year, then jumps to the enemy the next then he's ultimately a TRAITOR.

So if I ever do a history write-up on Red Ruffing, I know where to go haha.

http://boards.yesnetwork.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=86209 Well, at least BloomsTomb says so. He thinks the Rocket will sport a 4+ ERA in the AL East and is comparing him to the likes of Kevin Brown. Too bad he wasn't the Yankees GM or else the Sox would have Roger in their hands.
