Manny hit a GRAND SLAM!!!

[Kathy in Cambridge]

:bounce:

Red Sox up 13-2!

[radiclib]

1. MVP

Hands down. If he could catch the ball, it'd be unanimous!

[Kathy in Cambridge]

2. He's been better in the field this year

he's made some terrific catches. He's hit TWO home runs tonight!

[SoDesuKa]

3. Great Cats

Great cats! Poor baseball judgement.

Stick to cats. It's an area in which you excel. Although your loyalty is touching, baseball is not your forte.

[Kathy in Cambridge]

4. You must be a Yankee fan

and I probably know more about baseball than you do. :-)

Ask my husband and his buddies...

[SoDesuKa]

5. It's Not Your Knowledge

I don't question your knowledge of baseball. However, your choice of teams to root for is unfortunate.

[Kathy in Cambridge]

8. I grew up in Boston. Who the fuck else would I cheer for?

:eyes:

Typical asshole Yankee fan.

[SoDesuKa]

16. Love Those Cats!

You have great taste in cats. Your taste in sports teams, however, is lamentable. Yes, you grew up in Boston. More's the pity.

[Kathy in Cambridge]

23. And you've never been to Boston obviously

:eyes:

Blitz, is that you?

[SoDesuKa]

30. Sox Will Choke

Sox have been playing over their heads. Reality will soon come crashing down on them. As soon as it dawns on them that they've been doing a little too well, their pitchers will lose sight of the strike zone, their batters will start hitting easy ground-outs, and infielders will bobble the ball. Listen, it happens.

[Kathy in Cambridge]

32. Yes, I know it happens. But that's no reason to insult me PERSONALLY

:wtf:

Yeah, the Red sox have a history of choking in October. But to insult someone's 'taste' in teams shows you have no understanding of team loyalty. Cheering for the Red Sox is part of being from Boston. So it's not a matter of taste.

[SoDesuKa]

39. Lost In Translation

It must be the Internet. There was no personal insult intended, you're reading that into my post. You posted something to the effect of Red Sox are great and I responded with something to the effect of Red Sox suck.

IIRC, such partisanship is a traditional part of baseball. To tell you the truth, I haven't kept up with the game since Alex Rodriguez. I was so loyal! Even the obnoxious Pete Rose didn't deter me.

May your team win.

[Bertha Venation]

6. That's pretty rude.

:eyes:

[Bertha Venation]

7. The Angels have a shot at the AL West AND the WC, but if it comes down to

the WC, I'm rooting for the Sox. :bounce:

[Kathy in Cambridge]

9. Thanks-I can't wait to hear the whines all the way from NYC

but I'm sure I'll hear plenty from whats-his-name. He sure is rude!

[NYC Liberal]

10. No whines...

Yanks just won again! :bounce: ;)

[JohnKleeb]

11. damned orioles!

[Kathy in Cambridge]

12. I hope the O's win tomorrow

I think we'll take the next two from Seattle...

[JohnKleeb]

13. I do too

We're gonna be in third place when the year is done, so for once since I was 10, we'd have progress, let this year be the beginning of the end of the Yanks reign of terror, they havent been lower than first since the year we nearly went all the way, :(, I dont get it, we beat the Indians in the '96 ALDS when we were the worser team, we only had won 88 games and were the wild card, and then the indians who were a medicore first place team beat us in the 1997 ACLS, and I really sincerely think we would have had the marlins for lunch, though they did good against us that year in interleague, sigh, why did Angelos have to be such a dick to Davey Johnson, ahh well at least Ray Miller is pitching coach.

[Kathy in Cambridge]

14. Manny is at 41 homers so far

he just hit another off of Jamie Moyer.

[jonnyblitz]

15. has this game been going on since yesterday or something?

I coulda sworn I saw this thread last night...

[JohnKleeb]

17. you did

:D

[Kathy in Cambridge]

21. I'm still waiting for the Yankee fan who insulted me to come back

this is always a fun time of year...

[jonnyblitz]

24. LOL....here where I live (in the shadow of Mohegan Sun) in CT

the fanbase seems split. the friendly boy at the liquor store dutifully wears his redsox t-shirt whenever he can and has told me he has taught his firstborn child who is learning to speak to say "yankee's suck". I stay nuetral in these matters. :eyes:

[JohnKleeb]

25. yeah you told me about the split

[Kathy in Cambridge]

26. You have to stay neutral-you saw how UGLY it got here last fall

I don't mind good-natured rivalry, but nasty remarks that attack where I'm from and my 'taste' in sports teams are beyond the pale.

:hi:

[jonnyblitz]

27. I remember...

damn time flies ...seems like just yesterday.. :hi:

[NYC Liberal]

28. When I go to Boston...

I wear my Yankees jacket to piss people off. Just in good fun, though. ;) Usually I get some guy yelling "Fuck you!" out of the car window.

[Kathy in Cambridge]

29. We see Yankees caps around here all the time

Boston is a big college town and there are lots of students from NY & NJ-it's inevitable.

[NYC Liberal]

31. Fair amount of Sox fans here too.

Always see some whenever I go to games.

[Kathy in Cambridge]

33. It's easier to get a ticket to Yankee Stadium than Fenway

it's a small park and Seasons Ticket Holders monopolize the good tix. And it's the most expensive ticket in baseball. I feel bad for people who want to bring their kids to games-it's an expensive day out.

[NYC Liberal]

34. How much do tickets usually cost.?

[Kathy in Cambridge]

35. Obstructed View Single Seats start at $44

It's ridiculous.

"The most expensive in baseball is a day at Boston's Fenway Park, home of the Red Sox, where the cost for a family of four is about $263. In Philadelphia, the average cost for a family soared more than 26 percent, in part to offset a new stadium. Even the least expensive game, those hosted by the Montreal Expos, will cost more than $100."

36. Ticket costs at Yankee Stadium:

[Kathy in Cambridge]

37. I've sat in a lot of different seats a Yankee Stadium

one of my friends has access to very good seats. Occasionally, we luck out and get invites to a game. Otherwise, I've sat in the nosebleed section.

[NYC Liberal]

38. Yeah, I get tickets from a friend too.

I usually sit in box seats along the 3rd base line in row 5 or 6. The light yellow section.

[NYC Liberal]

18. Say...

why do they call it the "World Series" if it's played in the Bronx?

}(

[JohnKleeb]

19. What do you call a team who nearly got swept last weekend?

The Yankees :D.

[NYC Liberal]

20. What do you call 25 men watching the World Series?

The Boston Red Sox.

:D

[JohnKleeb]

22. hah I am orioles fan ya know

we do dirty work for both teams and if either of those teams makes it, they should thank our butts :D.

[FlyByNight]

40. Go Sox!!

:-)
