Yeah, it was a big "story", but after his first plate appearance, most people got over it.
-
I don't think the Damon signing had much of an impact since the Sox won in 04 and Damon had been on multiple teams previously. He was a nice little player, but definitely not of Ortiz's caliber. At that point the rivalry was still a little hot, but had cooled from the 03-04 peak.

The ESPN narrative.

I don't really care about the drama. I agree that if Ortiz donned pinstripes, it would make me sick and my wife would be too upset to watch the game. I'm not a proponent of sending players to the Yanks to manufacture drama. I'd rather the teams just remain competitive. The past 2 years, both teams have struggled and have tanked the rivalry a bit. Having Ells in NY will probably make the average sports fan more likely to pay attention to the first few series. After that, it's up to the teams to stay competitive.

Wouldn't it provide for MORE drama?
-
The point is that the original question was about the ALCS, but all you could do was bitch about losing to the Mets.
-
"Maine"

I don't need to read minds, just read the posts that have been written ad nauseam.

Just remember kids, to be a true derpy Sox fan you must forget about every season that didn't end up with a ring. Throw your memories away! 1999 sucked! 2008 was a s***** season, turn the page! Oh, you saw a few regular season walkoffs and had lots of fun being at Fenway? Doesn't matter! Those seasons were horrible and you shouldn't have enjoyed them you dummy!

Plus, the biggest revenue teams haven't been dominating the WS lately. I read that the average payroll of WS entrants has been about 11th place. This is hardly the biggest issue in MLB.

^ miserable and unhappy person response

Idk. Fred even said, if he were a Sox fan it would mean nothing to him, but his retort is "well I wasn't a fan." I just like that this post asked a specific question about the ALCS and only had about 3 real responses to it.
-
If you can't find any joy in the 86 ALCS (which OP is asking about), you are a miserable human being.
-
s***, forgot that the Pirates already got to the India market by signing cricket players.
-
Sox need to sign players from China and India. Corner the market! Wake up Ben!
-
I only really remember game 5. Hendu was playing CF and knocked a warning track fly ball over the fence. I thought he'd be the goat. However, he redeemed himself with the biggest homerun of my childhood. His nice hop and spin heading to first will always be etched in my memory.
-
I'm sure he'll have a higher WAR than 2013 BJ Upton (the player you want).
-
That's why they signed Sizemore.
-
Nava in RF? Might as well put Papi in RF.
-
How is AJ aclubhouse cancer? Players havecome out and said he's agreat teammate and someone you just don't want to play against.
-
Pal is not a dumb poster. Pal's comment was dumb. This is not a personal attack at all. Ex: "Suns is an idiot" is an attack "That post by suns was just troll bait" is not an attack
-
I hope he's working on better material. The build up could kill his joke.
-
We're still waiting for that dirtdog joke to be explained.
-
I tend to. We're just saying why others have trouble ignoring it. Personally, I don't find screaming at a wall to be a fun hobby.
-
He's going to sign a 20M AAV deal either here or elsewhere.
