So nice of you to keep proving my point. ;)

Re: Tampa Rays Vs Red Sox Alcs

[quote=Nigel Harkness;662887]Actually that is some '07 magic.

I actually hope that the Rays plane blows up mid-air on the way back to Tampa and all of the left over runs are caught by the Sox as they fall from the sky so that they can be used to beat the Phillies and be back-to-back world series champs...sorry I guess i'm slightly delusional.[/quote]

04 07 they were down both times..it's all the same

Re: Tampa Rays Vs Red Sox Alcs

I love how all the flaming in this thread is coming from guys who have teams playing golf right now

Re: Tampa Rays Vs Red Sox Alcs

^see you on the putting green this weekend?

Re: Tampa Rays Vs Red Sox Alcs

[quote=Jenks;662951]yep, that's the worst thing about red sox fans and why most people can't stand them, they're horrible losers and horrible winners.[/quote]

if you could see me nodding and hear me clapping...

mets == most hated among players yanks == most hated amonf fans boCawks== most hated fans.

Re: Tampa Rays Vs Red Sox Alcs

sightless you mean to tell me that Yankee fans are not some of the most hated by other fans?

Pfft...yeah right.

hahaha, youre right, all I ever hear from yankee fan is "26 championships.." big deal.. you suck now, lol

and then they act like they played on the damn teams when you talk about them

sorry Sean, just my observation, lol

Re: Tampa Rays Vs Red Sox Alcs

Grew up north of beantown and huge Sox fan but have to say TB is playing amazing b-ball right now and they deserve it. They're killing the sox best pitchers and their pitching is shutting sox hitters down. If they win I'll be rooting for them cuz they play thegame the right way and who doesn't like a worst to first story? Scary to think how good this division will be next year. And who doesn't hate the Yankees and their fans living on past victories?

That's such a shitty observation for baseball if you really give a shit about the sport. More than any other sport, baseball embraces it's history, it's records, it's past. I hate the fking yankees too, but "26 championships..big deal" ?? ...um, it's a pretty big deal. Second place is all the way back at 10, the Cards. A team (boston) wins a couple in a few years for the first time in a hundred years or a team that has never won shit gets to the big game and now it's all about fuck the past that makes the game what it is? That's what i'm saying about their fans being horrible winners and horrible losers. Tampa has done something spectacular this year, i hope their fans don't ruin it. "Stay classy san diego"

Re: Tampa Rays Vs Red Sox Alcs

LMAO if u think yanks fans are most hated. maybe in new england, buts thats cuz we had our foot in yer ass for a century. so, you won twice. wow. we won 4 in 5, only 3 years b4 you won yer first.

boston baseball fans are known like phlliy footbal fans. scum.

no, i didnt say that. i said

boston fans are THE MOST hated fans. we night be hated, but so are chicago, philly, LA, etc. no coing you guys into the group, but the group is a bunch of douchebags. i lived there for 2 years (98,99). and yeah, my observation is your guys are up there with philly football and NYrangerzs hockey fans.

Yes...great they won 26, that is a remarkable feat that I applaud. The Celtics have won 16 titles prior to this year but that didn't mean shit because they sucked for a while prior to winning it last year. The typical Yankee fans just throw out that they have 26 and that is it but when they throw it out people are talking about the moment.

Actually I live in NY and they are hated here as well. There is a 50/50 mix of Yankee fans vs. other fans here and alot of them are douche bags.

[COLOR=silver]:lol: Your unbiased opinion of course. [/COLOR]

[FONT=Helvetica][COLOR=silver]Having stood on the outside for YEARS watching with contempt as other cities hung banner after banner, I can honestly say it feels great to be so vilified by the rest of the sporting public. Imagine if 3 of the 4 teams you spent your entire life rooting for - through dead-last finishes year after year, through the Scott Zolak/Dino Raja/Carlos Quintanna eras - imagine those teams are now among the best in their sport, winning championship after championship. Try to tell me you wouldn't get a little vocal if your favorite teams brought home 6 rings in 7 years after being perennial donkeys. Try to say with a straight face that you wouldn't talk some smack and puff out your chest a bit – seems to me words like "class" only get thrown around by those who are looking up. [/COLOR][/FONT]

[FONT=Helvetica][COLOR=silver]So go ahead, rain your hate down. Call us horrible fans, say we're the most despised, petty, loutish sportsfans in the world and shit all over us at every turn - we relish it, and so would you if you were in our shoes. The view from the top of the sports mountain sure is beautiful, but short-lived. Pretty soon our run will be over and we'll be back in the middle of the pack - so every Boston sports fan is enjoying of one of the most impressive, dominate stretches a single city has seen in American sports.[/COLOR][/FONT]

[FONT=Helvetica][COLOR=silver]That being said - As painful as this series has been to watch, and it has been painful, I have to admit that the Rays are an exciting team. Having spent the whole season watching them in our division, they are playing near-perfect baseball right now. If you were to wake up from a 10 year coma this morning and tune into these games you would think the Sox were playing in their 1st ALCS ever. We're timid, flat, playing on our heels; the Rays are coming out of the gates like maniacs and completely taking us out of the game by the 3rd inning. They are straight-up challenging our big guns to beat them and so far our big guns are looking ooooold and slow. [/COLOR][/FONT]

[FONT=Helvetica][COLOR=silver]Should the Rays win – and recent history suggests Boston isn’t [I]totally [/I]out of it yet – it would be great to see them take the whole thing down.[/COLOR][/FONT]

can't believe i'm sticking up for the yankees, but...ugh...so, their 1996-2003 domination isn't recent enough? except for the 80s, they've won the WS in every decade since baseball began, most decades multiple ones. That's enough to give them the right to throw out that 26 whenever they want.

Nope, Rays will close it out on Saturday... great come back last night, but dont count on the Rays bullpen to implode like that again

Re: Tampa Rays Vs Red Sox Alcs

that game might have just cost the rays the WS

Re: Tampa Rays Vs Red Sox Alcs

question

when the Sox came back down 3-0 and 3-1 recently.. were games 6 and 7 at Fenway?

edit nevermind, found it

Re: Tampa Rays Vs Red Sox Alcs

god... if the bosox do happen to come back and win this series, espn will NEVER stop talking about it. i'm already cringing.

Re: Tampa Rays Vs Red Sox Alcs

i want to knock peter gammons teeth in. hey peter "what did you think of the NY giants VS philadelphia eagles game??"

it reminded me a game at fenway.....

but the bosox will win. yesterday was a 11th round upercut that knocked the sense out of the rays. they wuill be doubting themselves all week, and the red sox, due to francona, will be relaxed and ready to game. focused. eager.

Re: Tampa Rays Vs Red Sox Alcs

I hope the Red Sox do come back and win the series.I cherrish all this hating going on.It's what makes baseball baseball.Us Sox fans deserve this.All the 86 previous years of sucking.Can't fault us for riding on their coat tails.Yankee fans were the same way for all 26 championships they won.I'm sure when the next team that comes along and win a couple WS people will start hating on them.It's just the typical cycle that goes on in the sports world.

Re: Tampa Rays Vs Red Sox Alcs

fracona better be dipped in bronze after he dies. you faggots found gold in him

and you're sitll assholes. not just to NY, but to america.

and i hope pedroia gets cancer. he reiminds me of paul o neill and i want him on my team. kid would chew his own arm off for a win. a bunch of yanks fans sent Arod's website an email petition that he should watch dustina and predator this series to see what we expect before we ask brosicious to come outta retirement.

Re: Tampa Rays Vs Red Sox Alcs

hey i know my shit when it comes to baseball. reason i placed top 3 in ESPN reginal fantasy 3 years running.

i hate the fact that you guys have em, but shit, only an idiot would deny their talent. thse two are hard nosed players, who physically would rate an 80 or 100, but their guts and determination make em 95+ players.

Re: Tampa Rays Vs Red Sox Alcs

Well I commend you for giving credit to Sox personal where credit is due, most Yankee fans that I know wouldn't do such a thing (especially my wife and her family).

Re: Tampa Rays Vs Red Sox Alcs

i like her already. show her this post.

Re: Tampa Rays Vs Red Sox Alcs

I don't even know how we ended up together because she is a Yankee fan & i'm a Sox fan. She's a Bills fan & i'm a Pats fan.

Luckily she is a Celtics fan so at least she was rooting for the C's in 07-08.

Re: Tampa Rays Vs Red Sox Alcs

PM me ur address. imma mail her some mixes thanking her breaking your balls and your sports soul with one simple "i love you"

Re: Tampa Rays Vs Red Sox Alcs
