So, now the Yankees and Phillies have won their pennants...

[MrScorpio]

What's up with L.A. based teams?

[redwitch]

1. Go Phillies!

I have no idea what happened to the Angels tonight.

[AsahinaKimi]

12. The Angels fell flat...

Chone Figgens was non existant in the post season... The defense was fair..but the Offense could not do anything. It was pathetic. During the regular season, the Angels had many scores in double figures.. where
was that during the post season??

The thing is ..they are better then this!!! The team has never had problems against the Yankees historically..its almost like they were too tired to play the post season..

Mike Scioscia has a lot to answer for.. first question being.. "WTF Mike?"

[SeattleGirl]

2. Who knows? All I can say is,

GO PHILLY!!!!!!!!!

I want the Spankee's asses handed to them on a plate!

[alarimer]

42. I hate the Yankees with every fiber of my being.

Not sure why, it's completely irrational but my favorite teams are the Minnesota Twins and ANYONE playing the Yankees.

I don't feel that way about any other team (unless of course it's any team that is playing my team. Then I hate them, as much as I hate the Yankees, at least for the duration of the series). Well, I hate the Cowboys almost as much as I hate the Yankees but my boyfriend is a big fan of the Cowboys so I dial down the hate a little bit).

[yellowcanine]

45. I don't see the point of hating a sports team. I really don't. For one thing, the team you hate

today is not the same as the team you hated 10 years ago or even one year ago. Plus, to hate a team you have to hate individuals you don't even know, which is even more pointless.

[Chan790]

3. They were nothing but hype all along.

Neither the Angels or Dodgers were as good as their records suggested. Sadly, neither were my Red Sox.


Go Phils!!!

[MrScorpio]

7. Yep, that's how it's looking

Both teams went out like sheep

[Initech]

4. Fuck the Yankees. Phillies in 4.

[alcibiades_mystery]

6. Bwa. Ha. Ha.

Go Yankees!

[Initech]

8. Seriously, that hurts. It's rubbing salt in the wound.

:grr:

[MrScorpio]

9. I'm sorry, buddy. But the Angels looked disappointing

I don't even want to talk about my Tigers

[Renew Deal]

11. The Angels were terrible in the field and even on the bases.

I really think the numerous errors, poor fielding, and poor running hurt them. It made a difference.

[Initech]

18. They looked awesome against Boston.

I don't know what the fuck happened. They got to New York and just completely fell apart. Oh well, there's always next year.

[Initech]

15. Hey, I was pulling for the Tigers.

That was probably one of the craziest series of the entire post season.

I'm pissed because the Yankees bought all those players, the umpires gave them a game, and I wanted the Angels to win for Nick Adenhart. Instead that was absolutely horrible.

[alcibiades_mystery]

21. So sad

You talked so much shit beforehand, so now ya gotta eat it.

Yankee owned.

[Initech]

23. I say bring it on.

I still hope the Phillies win in 4. :nopity:

[alcibiades_mystery]

24. That's nice

It was pretty satisfying watching the Angels fall apart, in any case. You guys sponsored by Chico's Bail Bonds or something? Please report for fielding fundamentals as soon as you get done with the golf tour.

[alcibiades_mystery]

5. Jankee beisbol, baby

The new Yankee Stadium apparently turns the Angels into the Bad News Bears.

[flvegan]

10. Phillies be careful. The shithole they just built in NY is already falling apart.

Stay safe and win!

[SeattleGirl]

16. No kidding?

I guess those seats behind home plate that cost an obscene amount of money wasn't enough glue to hold the place together, eh?

[flvegan]

25. Yup.

http://bleacherreport.com/articles/278497-george-steinbrenners-diamond-in-the-bronx-has-a-chip-in-it

But then what's to be expected from such an upstanding organization like the Yankees that hires a mobbed-up company do their work.

[SeattleGirl]

32. Jeebus Christ on a Crutch!

They found out that false reports were used about testing the concrete, and yet Steinbrenner lets people continue to come there? He's more of an asshole than I even realized.

[flvegan]

37. $210 million payroll needs butts in seats, among other things.

[BeyondGeography]

28. At least it's not named after a fucking bank

What kind of cowtown shit is that?

[alcibiades_mystery]

30. Hey, at least it wasn't built by the mob!!!111

Construction companies in Philly are, after all, well-known for being mob-free!

:sarcasm:

:rofl:

[BeyondGeography]

33. Why not Frank Rizzo Field?

:rofl:

[flvegan]

36. Agreed. If only every city had a Fenway Park.

[girl_interrupted]

38. That S***Hole Cost 1.5 billion dollars to build & it's gorgeous!

The only thing the Phillies have to fear..are the Yankees, themselves. So if they are too "scared" maybe they should stay home! LOL!

As for the "cracks" they are caused by settling...so fear not..come on down! If not...watch us win on tv!

[flvegan]

41. A gorgeous shithole is still a shithole.

As for the rest of your post...whatever. Have another on me.

[LynneSin]

13. riding the subway back and forth

:rofl:

[tigereye]

14. crao - I despite the Yankees...

:cry: Go Phils!

[pinniped]

17. The Angels must have forgot to ask the ump to reverse the sac-fly.

It worked before.

[Iggo]

19. Go Lakers! Beat The Hated Celtics!

[AsahinaKimi]

20. So is everyone ready to listen

To the bragging, Arrogant Yankee fans??

[alcibiades_mystery]

22. Bwahahahaha: AL Champions X 40

:rofl:

[AsahinaKimi]

26. Yeah ..BEST TEAM money can BUY!!

If only the other teams could have spent as much money on their players...

[alcibiades_mystery]

27. Boo hoo hoo

Baseball IS a professional sport, after all. Should a team NOT try to get the best players it can?

:rofl:

[girl_interrupted]

29. Go Yankees!

Can't wait for the fun to begin!

[alcibiades_mystery]

31. Expect the term "payroll" to begin appearing in abundance.

[girl_interrupted]

35. LOL! like other teams arent paying out millions for their players!

Let them say whatever they want about my Yankees...they're just jealous! This is our 40th Pennant win! I'm so happy & proud!

[AsahinaKimi]

34. Its easy to be a Yankees fan...

Just buy a cap!

[girl_interrupted]

39. Yup buy a cap & WIN! A lot! Thats all it takes!

GO YANKEES!

[girl_interrupted]

40. Yankees Win More when Democrats are in office

I remember reading this last year:

Want more Yankee Octobers? Pull for Barack Obama in November
BY William Mcgee

Friday, October 31st 2008, 7:19 PM


This year, Barack Obama signifies hope. Not over the economic meltdown or the War on Terror, but for October baseball in the Bronx.

Forget the Curse of the Bambino in Boston or the Curse of the Goat in Chicago. It's who's going to be living on Pennsylvania Avenue in Washington that will determine if a world championship returns to the Bronx any time soon. The statistics make it clear.



With a Democratic rather than Republican commander in chief, the Yankees have won several more pennants (22 compared to 17) and nearly three times as many championships (19 to 7). In fact, the team has a losing World Series record when the GOP controls the Executive Branch, going 7-10 for a .412 clip. Under Democrats, the Yanks are an outstanding 19-3 in the Fall Classic, which translates into a breathtaking .864 winning percentage. That's 197 percentage points higher than the team's overall World Series record.

Democrats & the Yankees! My 2 favorites!

Go Yankees!

[bigwillq]

44. What's stopping them?

They most certainly can spend as much as they want.

[bigwillq]

43. Go Yankees!

:bounce:

Neither LA team was good enough this year. Both got beat by better teams.
