Your ELITE NYY:

[Sox fan in Tex]

YOUR 26-time World Series Champion New York Yankees are in one hell of an ELITE group! They fit in a 'category' with the following teams: The MIGHTY Toronto Blue Jays, the POWERHOUSE Kansas City Royals, the HARD-HITTING (NEVER WIN ANYTHING) Texas Rangers, the former last place in the West Seattle Mariners, the Arizona D-Backs ('01 WS, motherfuckers) and more!

What do all of these ELITE teams have in common? They are all playing .500 or worse baseball! :lol: Congrats, Yankee fans! Your $200M team is looking up not only to DADDY Boston, but the cross-town Mets, and even the $35M Devil Rays! Keep up the good work, Steinbrenner, Jeter and A-Rod.

P.S. Tell Rivera that the goal is to get the hitters out. You may want to remind him as well that a 5.40 ERA is not good. Yankees suck. :lol:

Haha, Tex. You rock.

[Sox fan in Tex]

I am betting the first Yankee fan response is: "But our AAA Columbus Clippers are 6-5." In which we will all go along with the farm system smack and ask how the hell the Double-A Trenton Thunder could be 0-10. ;) Seriously, though... how are the Trenton Thunder winless after 10 games? Anyone?

Thanks, RSR. I learn a lot from your posts. So if I can just make a few people laugh at the Yankees or their fans on here, I am doing my job.

[RedRuffing15]

Wow..hmm I think I know someone who hates the Yankees more than they like the Sox right here. Like I said before, your a perfect example of someone who opens their damn mouth too fast. You garunteed a division win last season, and...wait...woah, didn't you come in second. You talked all shit at the begining of last season when we sucked and ahh...wait...oh thats right, we beat you in the season series. I am going to laugh my ass off right in your damn face in 3 months when the Yankees are back in first and your just still talking shit about the Yankee payroll as your defense. I'll be waiting, becuase you should have learned at some point in the past..idk..8 seasons! that the Yankees are not a team to mark down as out because they just go on streaks and throw it right back in your face..

But on a positive note, its really surprising to see you not use the pissing gif. Tex, becuase it seems that gay thing pissin on a NY logo is the only way you can make your fairweather points on anything, so thats nice that you went in a different direction for this stupid ass post.

Someone's a little mad :lol:

hahahaa I feel better now.

thanks tex.

[Sox fan in Tex]

You save this page and ttt this at the beginning of October (because in September you will still declare it to be "early in the season"). The thing your small mind has yet to comprehend is that the Boston Red Sox are better than Yankees all around. Name one area where the Yankees are better. Not defensively. Not offensively. Not with starting pitching, middle-relief or closing games. Not when it comes to management. Nor when it comes to the fan base. The only advantage you have is money, and this year, that won't matter.

You're bragging about winning the season series 10-9? :lol: What is the season series since 2003? I believe it is Boston holding that advantage, junior.

[Sox fan in Tex]

Off subject: Nice avatar, yankeessuck013. Sure in college basketball we had a few differences, but it's baseball season now. And we both root for the good guys.

[Sox fan in Tex]

You're the greatest, Tex.

Well, our team is the greatest. I just remind everyone. ;) Congrats on the Nuggets Division title, by the way, See Red. Unfortunately, the only two teams I follow with passion are the Celtics and Rockets. Two not very decent teams.

[RedRuffing15]

HA, please, I will admit ur Starting pitching is doing better than ours, but to think every aspect of your team is doing better is the stupidest thing I ever heard. Though I'm smart enough to know the only aspect thats important is the Wins, which we don't have, so I won't get into that.



And, when it comes to October, I won't have to be saying its early, as you will be seeing when time gets to there, becuase it will be you who is saying I'm speaking to soon....or should I say....Be saying "Fuck The Yankees, Payroll, Payroll, Payroll, Choke, Payroll, Payroll" Yea..that sounds a little more right to be coming from you.

oo, so you won the season series since 2003 29-28?:lol: What is the season series since 2000, I believe New York is holding that advantage, Junior.

Thank you very much, sir. The Celtics are going to be a very good basketball team down the road, though.

Jsinger, I certainly wouldn't mind seeing that last a little longer either.

But during those 86 years, we weren't outspending the rest of the league by a ridiculous amount of money every year.

Five years of being completely unable to buy a Championship (despite their best efforts to do) so are as pathetic as anything.

[Optimist]

Sure. Keep telling yourself that.

Regardless of how much is spent, a year without a title is a year without a title.

[schillingouttheks]

Don't talk to us like we don't know what 5 years of waiting feels like. Telling us it's not as bad as it seems sounds like you're implying we don't know what it's like. You guys could use a drought. It would be good for you, believe it or not. Experience what REAL suffering is like.

You aren't a baseball fan if you can't at least appreciate the New York Yankees franchise, and you definitely aren't a baseball fan if you take pot shots at Mariano Rivera.

And SFIT has already explained that 5 years without a title is pathetic when you're dominating the league in payroll.

Money doesn't win games, I think that's been established; I also think Red Sox fans and Steinbrenner are the only people who really believe that these days (or at least Sox fans seem to believe it, given how often its brought up.)

i would admit it isn't that bad in 02 or 05 when you weren't in them but 01 and 03 are pretty big esspecially when the D-backs and the Marlins are teams that just started less than 10 years from there

you won't say the luiz gonzalez hit hurt alittle in 01 or in 03 when a team that has half the payroll as you beats you in the world series.

No, he would just get eaten alive. Like yeszir said, if you're on a Red Sox board, it's our territory. Go do it on a Yankee board. Know your surroundings.


Then don't talk to me like I'm crying over a 5 year drought of WS, becuase I'm not

Know what I said. I never said you were crying over a 5 year drought. I'm stating that no matter what shit you get, be it stupid or whatever, NEVER say to a Red Sox fan that 5 years isn't as bad as it seems, when you think they don't know what it's like. We have done a whole shitload more of suffering than you will likely ever do in your life. Like I said, a drought would be good for you. You should know what it's like to watch your beloved team like Sox fans have pre-2004.

Payback is a bitch. As long as it's annoying you and you're commenting on us making fun of your drought, we'll do it. We notice the irony, that's why we do it. Because we know it will make you mad and that's the whole point. I don't speak for everyone, but I can appreciate the Yankee franchise for the point that they compete year in and year out, despite my bitter hatred for them.

As far as taking shots at Mo, it's not like Tex actually believes he sucks. He's saying these things to get a rise out of you, and it's working. And as long as it does, he'll keep doing it, and it will be all the more funny to see you guys get worked up. I also remember hearing something that Yankee fans said to Mo last year too. Wait for it, wait for it....HERE IT IS: "BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO."

odd i always thought yankee fan were in shock at the 01 series just because they couldn't see how mariano could blow a save. well that is at least to my yankee friends

[Pinstripe_Pride]

you won't say the luiz gonzalez hit hurt alittle in 01 or in 03 when a team that has half the payroll as you beats you in the world series.

I'll never understand this fixation on money. Is there some sort of salary cap in baseball I'm not aware of? I appreciate how The Boss spends the money on all of the players so that Yankee fans can see an all-star team play everyday. The Red Sox do it to, so the argument is really null and void.

Get it through your head, it's not the fact that the teams had a low payroll that hurt. 2001 was terrible for obvious reasons and the Marlins were just a better team. I don't think the fact that the teams spent less money ever crossed my mind those two seasons. It's just Yankee haters trying in any way possible to poke and pry at the best franchise in baseball. Haters........ :harhar:

[Optimist]

It would have seemed sort of petty, if you ask me, having a parade for a bunch of athletes with all that was going on. New York had enough heroes in 2001.

well coming in to the WS you guys were enormous favorite because of your all-star cast compared to a cast like the marlins which were just prospects. that is true we are too on getting an all star cast. it's just the way you guys act about it like "the yankees are the best why even have a season when we know who will win" and we also hate you for the ruths, the damons, the clemens, the arod deal.

Please tell me what my responce should be, when someone says something to me thats not true, I normally say 'No, its not that bad'.....so it has to be worse than the Sox to count? I haven't sufferd for 5 years, though he said 'Must feel like an eternity to Yanks fans'...but it doesn't, it feels like 5 years to Yankees fans, so I really don't know why your so mad becuase I'm saying its not as bad as it seems, since it OBVIOUSLY seems bad for people to think its feels like its been forever since we've won last.

And I never even impied they don't know what 5 years is like, I implied they don't know what 5 years is like....To A Yankees FAN, there is a HUGE difference

[schillingouttheks]

Well, you should have specified. What you said was "it's not as bad as it seems blah blah blah." You coulda said it doesn't seem like an eternity, but you omitted that part. Haha whatever this is pointless, I know what you meant now. :D

[RedRuffing15]

FROM PAGE TWO:

I guess I'm going to have to get used to silly Red Sox fan remarks considering I'll be living in Boston in a few months, but honestly, wow.

I would say that about 20% of baseball fans nation wide appreciate the New York Yankees franchise. Also: What is wrong with taking shots at Rivera? I would have taken some shots as Jeter and A-Rod if I had the time tonight. :lol:

The way I see it, just because you have won the East the past eight seasons, doesn't mean it will be the same this year. History changes. Just because the Sox fell out on a WS title 86 years in a row, didn't mean it was going to be 87. Granted, this isn't the greatest of arguments, but I believe you see what I am getting at. Also: These ARE NOT "silly Red Sox remarks." Just because you have $$$ you think you will have a great year again? We have the better team. It is okay for you to consider that a possibility.

[See Red]

It would have seemed sort of petty, if you ask me, having a parade for a bunch of athletes with all that was going on. New York had enough heroes in 2001.

Only petty if you're looking at it in a way that you're honoring heroes with said parade. Sports can serve as a distraction from events like those that unfolded in 2001 -- considering the roll that sports played in helping get back to normalcy in this country, if a parade can give people a chance to take their minds off of something more serious for just a little while and celebrate something, I don't see anything petty about it.

Excuses, excuses. In 2001 you were OUTCLASSED. PERIOD. The only reason you had a fighting chance was because BK Kim sucked worse than Foulke did last year. If it wasn't for him, you guys might have been swept 4-0, at the toilet, in front of all your fans.

Money make the playing field unlevel, so as long as there is no hard cap, it will be part of the discussion. And, while the Sox may be second highest at $124M, the Yankees are light years ahead of them at $192M. The difference between the two is almost the league average payroll. That is substantial.

I became a fan during that drought from the 80's to the mid 90's when we were arguably one of the worst teams in the league. I rooted for guys like Steve Balboni, the Perez brothers, Steve "I can't make a throw" Sax, Andy Stankiewicz, Luis Polonia, Matt Nokes being our lone All Star rep, etc. Everyone tells me that the Yankees were always winning, well I had no clue about their supposed winning ways for almost the first 10 years of my time as a Yankee fan. It would be silly for me to gloat about things I hadn't experienced, like us winning 22 Championships before I became a fan, just as much as it is silly for a guy who's 29 to complain about 86 years of misery. As far as I was concerned, I had suffered as much as the next Red Sox fan in my age group. I didn't root for the Yankees because they had a tradition of winning prior to me becoming a fan, hell I could barley speak English back then.


BTW, congrats ORS. Hopefully you have a daughter!

[Sox fan in Tex]

It's funny. I make a valid point that the Boston Red Sox are better than the New York Yankees, and TheRivernator has no response at all. Then again, he does believe that altogether as a town, Boston is better than New York.

From "Johnny D... hate him or love him":


As far as cities, I lived in Beantown for a little while, love the city. NY is a nice city as well, but it is a little too big.

It's amazing how many stupid posts you have made since joining talksox. Do you STILL think that the Yankees rotation will be more consistant than Bostons'? You even said two days ago that Randy Johnson is better than Schilling. How is that holding up? And what the fuck is this... a thread titled "who likes the Sox?" and you respond with "boys have a penis, girls have a vagina"? Prepare to make another thread entitled, "I'll eat crow", Rivernator. You are the stupidest peice of shit I have seen since joining this board. And there have been some dumb people.

[god is a redsox FAN!]

I reckon to be fixin to say that y'all idgits from Dixie would be the only mowrons to start celebratin after 12 games. If I had my wits about me, I reckon I'd say you're dumb as a cowpie, I reckon...
Now wait a minute, i say reckon too. Don't start dissing on reckon

Now, now. Jersey's where it's at biatches. :thumbsup:

ahhh New Jersey- "the armpit of america"

(gotta look at the state closely)

[26 to 6]

P.S. Tell Rivera that the goal is to get the hitters out. You may want to remind him as well that a 5.40 ERA is not good.
While I am telling him that, I think I will remind you that it is fucking APRIL 18th and you fuck-faces need to get over your Mid-April division lead. This is a long season with 162 games to be played. This isnt football with 16, this isnt basketball with 82, this is America's past time where we play 162 long games.


Not with starting pitching, middle-relief or closing games
Our middle relief has been pretty good this year, and despite ONE bad game, Mariano Rivera is still 3285738576384599375838547384 times the pitcher that Jonny Papelbon or Keith Foulke-you is.

[yankeessuck013]

someone's angry.

[26 to 6]

Don't talk to us like we don't know what 5 years of waiting feels like. Telling us it's not as bad as it seems sounds like you're implying we don't know what it's like. You guys could use a drought. It would be good for you, believe it or not. Experience what REAL suffering is like.
As I recall, in those five years we were in two World Series and even pushed one to a game 7, and not to mention the fact that we were in the playoffs every year. In In 86 years of waiting you guys won two more pennants than we did in our 5 years of waiting, and the fact that we've had 14 A.L. teams to possibly win a pennant in our five years is saying something, considering most of your 86 there were a limited number of teams. So with more competition and a fraction of the time, we have managed to be just a LITTLE less successful than you guys in 86 years. Trust me, although it sucks not having won a championship since 2000 (considering we came so close a few times), it's not as bad as you guys think. Sure, for a week or two after we get eliminated I go into "Steinbrenner Mode" and throw shit and curse the Yankees relentlessly, but after that time expires i'm lookig forward to the following year, while you guys were singing "wait 'til next yeeah".



And SFIT has already explained that 5 years without a title is pathetic when you're dominating the league in payroll.
Luckily for us, we have you guys right behind us to remind us of that. Hey pass the message down to the 28 teams you're sitting in front of, will ya?

[26 to 6]

i would admit it isn't that bad in 02 or 05 when you weren't in them but 01 and 03 are pretty big esspecially when the D-backs and the Marlins are teams that just started less than 10 years from there

you won't say the luiz gonzalez hit hurt alittle in 01 or in 03 when a team that has half the payroll as you beats you in the world series.
Luis Gonzalez KILLED me. A tear still falls from my eye whenever I see that hit. I hate him forever. He better not let me run into him on the street otherwise i'll make sure he never plays baseball again!!! :angry:


well '03 hurt mroe than '01...cuz in '01, I was so happy with how the series unfolded..I was still kinda in a good mood after game 7 ended
Not me. 2001 hurt way more. 2003 wasnt so bad for me, I was still riding the high of the ALCS and the satisfaction that we put Red Sox Nation into a depression.


You should know what it's like to watch your beloved team like Sox fans have pre-2004
I watched the Yankees in the early 90's. It sucks, I know. Thankfully I wasnt around in the 80's.


and the Marlins were just a better team.
No way, we were a MUCH better team that year. The Marlins just played better baseball for that 10 day period or whatever it was. Its like the arguement about Russia/U.S. Hockey in 1980. Russia was superior, but we played better and won. But there is no denying that Russia was the better team.

[26 to 6]

Excuses, excuses. In 2001 you were OUTCLASSED. PERIOD. The only reason you had a fighting chance was because BK Kim sucked worse than Foulke did last year. If it wasn't for him, you guys might have been swept 4-0, at the toilet, in front of all your fans.
Like you guys were last year, right?


We have the better team.
Yeah, you're team is better on APRIL 18th.


And, while the Sox may be second highest at $124M, the Yankees are light years ahead of them at $192M. The difference between the two is almost the league average payroll. That is substantial.
So that makes it okay for you guys? When we play teams like the Devil Rays its a huge unfair advantage (which I admit), but isnt that the case when you guys play them as well? You guys need to stop playing the payroll card, because you're guilty as well. You have 28 teams in your rear-view mirror.

..also Congratulations.


I rooted for guys like Steve Balboni, the Perez brothers, Steve "I can't make a throw" Sax, Andy Stankiewicz, Luis Polonia, Matt Nokes being our lone All Star rep, etc.
..ahh, those guys were great, huh? Stankiewicz is the man! Balboni rules too. Only one I dont really like is Luis "I fuck little girls" Polonia. Keep your daughetsr and sisters away from this guy, everybody.

[26 to 6]

TheRivernator: Say all the shit you want. The fact is, my team ISN'T playing .500 baseball. The fact is, our closer has an ERA that is 5.40 less than yours. The fact is, the Boston Red Sox aren't full of steroid-popping wimps.
How about your Astros. And yes, one of your longtime, franchise players is guilty of using steroids. I wont say names, but I know for certain from somebody who has witnessed it. So dont be throwing the steroid stuff at us.


Hey it's really not that bad, at least not where I live. Stupid stereotypes. It's pretty, nice houses, good schools and 20 minutes outside NYC what more could you ask for? Alright now I'm sounding like a commercial...
Nah, North Jersey isnt that bad. South Jersey on the other hand, woah!! You'll never see me down there unless im in Atlantic City or at a Trenton Thuinder game.

Well, it's pretty obvious that Sox fan in tex is just fucking with you guys.

[26 to 6]

Yeah, but you guys playing ANY team is a huge advantage, not just the D-Rays. Hell, you playing US is a huge payroll advantage.
You didnt answer my question, does it make it ok for you guys to play the Devil Rays with the advantage? I mean, yeah, when we play anybody its a financial advantage, but when you guys play any of the 28 other teams besides the Yankees, its a huge advantage for you guys. The way you guys act is comparable to a upper-middle class citizen attempting to file for welfare or something because you dont owna yacht or have a place in the Hamptons or something. Its ridiculous.


If it's the truth, what's the point in not saying names? And who, exactly, is your source?
Becaude I swore not to say anything. The source is a former Astros player who is now in the Padres organization. Saying nothing more. Although with the size of the guilty, you would never guess that he was juicing. These were back in the Camminitti (sp, i know I fucked up somewhere in there) days. Dont know if he did it after Ken left the team.

The Tampa Bay Devil Rays have the largest operating income in the league. So no, it's not unfair because the Devil Rays aren't putting money back into their team, which would increase interest and in theory, give them more money to spend.

At the end of 2005, the Yankees payroll was $207 million -- the Red Sox was $116 million. That's a $91 million dollar difference.

Please tell me where you got this from.

Forbes, though I was incorrect, the Baltimore Orioles have the largest operating income -- the Devil Rays were second last season at $27.2 million. Still, though -- that could do wonders for a baseball team, in terms of both what they accomplish on the field and fan interest, if that was put towards the player payroll.

Forbes MLB Team Valuations (http://www.forbes.com/lists/results.jhtml?passListId=33&passYear=2005&passListType=Misc&searchParameter1=unset&searchParameter2=unset&resultsStart=1&resultsHowMany=30&resultsSortProperties=-numberfield6%2C%2Bnumberfield1&resultsSortCategoryName=Revenues&category1=category&category2=category&passKeyword=)

Fair enough. But our difference over the Kansas City Royals is just over $70 million. Your difference over us is $80 million. That's over $150 million over the Royals for you.

The Red Sox aren't even in the same league as the Yankees in terms of payroll -- don't act as if they are.

lol, well I don't do all that, but I did go to the HOF this weekend, and aside from the 350 Sox fans that were there, I got to go into the HOFs archives, and they let me look at all of Red Ruffings old pictures and and things like that, and the lady said I was the first person in a good 10 years to want to look at his stuff, and the last person to was his children(or something like that, I was too excited to pay attention)...and then I made copies of about 35 of the pictures they had of him......And next time I got(around induction time), I'm going to ask someone if theres anyway they can open up one of the showcases and let me take a picture of me holding his cleats, and one of me holding his bronzed glove they have on display...I doubt they will, but its worth a try.

And on that note, I just got a 1967 HOF induction bat with his facesmile auto on it(Click to see (http://anniedog.homestead.com/1967.JPG)....as well as a WWII Ruptured Duck pin given to soldiers who were honorable discharged from the service....and I got a few more things coming in....

Easily...when its your rival, and when you CONSTANTLY hear about it.

Oh and that's only one persons opinion (but I can only imagine that every other Yankee fan on here feels the same way).

But tell me this...why should we, as Sox fans even give a damn to appreciate anything at all about the Yankees? Because I sure as hell don't. And also...how can you be a fan of a team but NOT a fan of baseball, when that team PLAYS baseball...doesn't make sense.

so does that mean you appreciated when the sox came back from 0-3 down to beat you guys? i mean its never happened in the game of baseball., it was a huge story for baseball and dont tell me if they had a special on it this week you would watch it.you would probably try anything to avoid it on tv. so i guess your just a fan of your team as well eh?

*YAWNS* Congrats, Yankees. Many teams have great players of the past. We don't really need pictures, however. *YAWNS*

i sure to god hope no one here is dissing the likes of dimmagio, mantle, berra, louie g, etc.. some of the greatest players to have ever graced the earth are yankees. i personally don't care if they were communist, they were damn good players and any baseball fan knows that. those guys are legends, yankees or not, they should be appreciated.

the yankee red sox rivalry has really been blown out of proportion these past couple years.. not that i mind :-D

Once again the fucking retards in texas cannot be counted on for much.

I seriously think we get dumber each time we read your posts. Good thing I have a strong intellectual reserve, some aren't so lucky. Please, leave before you "Texas-ize" the whole forum and make us all dumb as a terd....

BTW, I am not surprised you think Randy is done. You're the same people who housed David Koresh and your cows outnumber your population. Then again, it is hard to tell the two apart...

Ok, let's clarify!!! I can respect some yankees and what they have done on the baseball field---but that DOES NOT mean that I appreciate the yankee franchise. I thought i would make it a little easier for the yank fans on here so i went to the websters dictionary:


appreciate

-to grasp the nature, worth, quality, or significance of --Negative Ghostrider
-to recognize with gratitude --Negative Ghostrider



People need to be able to tell the difference between respect and appreciation. So for the Yank fans on here to tell us that we are not fans of baseball becuase we don't appreciate the yanks franchise---well that's probably the most worthless argument that i have heard yet! Although i am not surprised!

[Youk Of The Nation]

If you dont appreciate the Kansas City Royals franchise, you have no right to call yourself a baseball fan.

[Soxfan#1]

Ok, then the Royals would be a winning franchise, and every other teams fanbase in the league would hate them...sounds about right

[26 to 6]

lol, well I don't do all that, but I did go to the HOF this weekend, and aside from the 350 Sox fans that were there, I got to go into the HOFs archives, and they let me look at all of Red Ruffings old pictures and and things like that, and the lady said I was the first person in a good 10 years to want to look at his stuff, and the last person to was his children(or something like that, I was too excited to pay attention)...and then I made copies of about 35 of the pictures they had of him......And next time I got(around induction time), I'm going to ask someone if theres anyway they can open up one of the showcases and let me take a picture of me holding his cleats, and one of me holding his bronzed glove they have on display...I doubt they will, but its worth a try.

And on that note, I just got a 1967 HOF induction bat with his facesmile auto on it(Click to see (http://anniedog.homestead.com/1967.JPG)....as well as a WWII Ruptured Duck pin given to soldiers who were honorable discharged from the service....and I got a few more things coming in....


Yea, I'm getting up there, soon I'll be taking a trip to the Red Ruffing museum in Ill....and will prolly stop by his grave while I'm there,....
Wow. They REALLY let you in the archives? Thats amazing.

I'm surprised you havent been to his grave-site yet :lol:

..I mean, i've been to Babe Ruth and Billy Martin's, but theyre like 100 feet away from each other in a cemetary in Westchester.

The Sox and their fans definately have some sort of respect for the Yankees (misguided or not), because all they do is talk about them and focus on them, trying to live up to them or something. IDK, just my .02


so does that mean you appreciated when the sox came back from 0-3 down to beat you guys? i mean its never happened in the game of baseball., it was a huge story for baseball and dont tell me if they had a special on it this week you would watch it.you would probably try anything to avoid it on tv. so i guess your just a fan of your team as well eh?
I certainly appreciated it. The fact that it had been done. I mean, I wasnt pulling for the mt odo it, and I certainly wasnt happy about it, but I appreciated it just like I appreciated the Diamondbacks winning the World Series, McGwire breaking the HR record (I appreciated it back then, not so much now), Bonds breaking the record (see McGwire), Ripken breaking Gehrig's streak, Randy Johnson's perfect game, etc.

yeah, since 03 it's gotten NUTS. It slowly started to escalate in '01-'02 but really became what it is toxay in 2003. Crazy. I remember back in like the 90's where we still considered each other bitter rivals, but didnt pay it nearly as much attention as today. Crazy.


Hell give me 200 million and I can make the Royals a winning frachise.
Were the '23, '56, ' 77, '96, and '98 Yankees $200 Million dollar teams?

Back when you guys were winning your championships in the Nine-teens, you were considered the big spenders of the league, much like the Yankees today. Should we rip on you guys and say you bought your 6 championships?

And ONCE AGAIN, you rely on the Texas argument because your team is playing shitty baseball. I thought we settled this when I told you that you have family from Jersey, and therefore you have no room to talk. What is it like being behind Baltimore in the standings and tied with Toronto, by the way? I keep provoking you and you keep taking the bait and coming back with HORRIBLE remarks. If making fun of the state of Texas makes you feel better that Papelbon is better than Rivera, and our team is better than yours, then it is fine with me. The end of September will come around and you will still be making jokes about a state that has so much more to offer than the one you live in currently. While my team will still be ahead of yours. I'm perfectly fine with that exchange.

P.S. Why don't you come visit Texas and I will show you around. I'll show you what a real spring break is like (South Padre Island), a real baseball team looks like (Houston Astros) and everything else that isn't offered in Connecticut -- the best Mexican food, the best steak places (although I don't eat meat) and many more.

Okay, I am saying that your idiocy is behind the fact that you are blinded by the pathetic and stupid ideal that 14 games determines how a season will go. I am not worried about my team, 2 yrs in a row we started slow and both of those yrs we won the east, I am not worried. But, leave it to the texas folk to be premature.....again. You do know that the season is 162 games long and not 14, right? I know that is a big number and you likely cannot count that high, but it is in fact 162 games. 14 games is meaningless and wont shape my demeanor.....

14 games in meaningless? Just ask the Red Sox. If Foulke doesn't have something to do with one of the 10 early games he probably fucked up for us last year, we win the East.

You know, that 26 to 6 thing is kind of stretching it. Yes, I can acknowledge the fact that the Yankees are the team with the most championships, but ever since it's come into play since the "1918!" chant went obsolete it's become rather tedious. So until the Red Sox win 20 more world championships this will always be the end-all of any debate? That seems rather fascist.

[schillingouttheks]

Yeah, we've been over this 26 to 6 thing with him many times. If they end up saying 26 to 7 though, then it will need to stop. Considering we're not supposed to win another world series until 2090 ;)

Trust me, knowing Yankee fans even if the Red Sox prove them stupid again by winning it all again this year they'll find something "refreshing" to say or who knows, maybe they'll just stick to the whole 26 to 7 argument. Don't get me wrong, I love looking at and embracing history, but at the same time it doesn't cloud my present.

Yankee fans are kind of like conservatives and Sox fans are kind of like centrists. We want to preserve our history by remaining in Fenway, but at the same time are embracing the winning tradition thats slowly brewing under current ownership.

Yes, TheRivernator, here in Texas, the public education is horrible. I can't count, much less access the World Wide Web. It is impossible to learn in a 100 degree trailer with cows 'mooing' non-stop as they pass by and cowboy boots giving my feet blisters throughout the day. Life on my Texas ranch is horrible. I don't know what I am talking about with the Red Sox because I only see about half the Boston games -- I have to get my intena lined up directly with Fenway Park to get good feed from NESN. 14 is close to 162, right? Just a few games less. :lol:

Papelbon is better than Rivera

I hope you're using this as hyperbole. Papelbon's got great stats, and has looked pretty good the times I've seen him pitch, but I doubt you'll find any hitters in the ML who would rather face Mo than Papelbon.

You're a respectable Yankee fan so you wouldn't fall under the typical category. Typical, at least in my opinion, is someone who became a fan in 1996, however doesn't bother to read up and learn the history of their team, other than the fact that the Yankees have won the most championships which is pretty much common knowledge at this point even to the non-baseball fan, doesn't follow the farm system teams, and can only name the superstar players.

Don't cringe forum, but I don't hate EVERY Yankee fan. I only respect the REAL fans who suffered through the losing drought in the 80's and early 90's.

[RedRuffing15]

Well, I can't say that was me, as I'm only 17, and I watched my first game in 1996, but in the sence of reading up on the team, boy-o, I've done my fair share of that :)

But I always look at the word typical Yankee fan meaning more of a dirty New Yorker instead of a fairweather fan.....so I guess its just a difference of views

Actually I went to my first Yankee game in 1993. So shut the fuck up. Rooting for the Yankees has been in my blood for generations. My uncle has boon rotting for the Yankees since he was a kid in the 60's. My great grandmother rooted for the Yankees of thr 40's and 50's.

I became a yankee fan in 1990, I was 9. The yankees were so bad that I actually asked my dad if they were the worst team ever, and he quickly taught me their history. In 94, I was heartbroken about the strike, in 95, Griffey tortured me and in 96 I got to see joy unfold in yankee stadium. I saw 3 of their worst yrs....

[Optimist]

so does that mean you appreciated when the sox came back from 0-3 down to beat you guys?

Of course I did. It was amazing.

I'm not going to bother responding to the rest of your post, because it was just you making assumptions and a fool of yourself.

I'm sure those were your exact words when Sierra hit the ball to Reese...:rolleyes:

I find that very hard to believe. If the Yankees did the same thing to the Sox I would have broken a shit load of things by now, and have been cursing at the TV.

I wasn't even mad, I just went to bed.........and pondered many things untill I fell asleep....and school felt very dark the next day(literally.....I think i was going blind)

[Optimist]

Of course not. Who likes seeing their team lose?

But, when my head cleared, I couldn't help but admire what the Sox had done. It's something no team had ever done before in baseball; just like how no other sports team has won 26 Championships, beside the Yankees. That's the difference between a baseball fan and a fan of team; if a team does a great thing, even if it isn't yours, you can say so.

Sure, but I think we have different meanings of the word "appreciate" I think of it different, or so it seems.

I mean I can EASILY admit that A-Rod is one of the 3 best RH hitters in the game, and I think that him and Pujols will break whatever record for HR's is set or still remains.

So I guess what I'm trying to say is I can admit it but I might not admire it.

Or maybe, with me at least, I can only do that for certain things...:lol:

[Sox Fan on Cape]

For all of you that have an embedded hatred or dislike for the Red Sox or the Yankees, tommorrow will be a new contest just for this rivalry. It will based on the series between the Red Sox and the Yankees ( May 1 & 2 and May 9-11 ). There will be some great prizes.

I already did break a shitload of things. As I said in my post regarding this a few pages back, as a Yankee fan it SUCKED. But as a Baseball fan there is no way you cant appreciate it. Like the 1998 Yankees or the 2001 Mariners in the regular season. Just absolutely no way you can't appreciate it. But appreciating something doesnt mean you have to be happy or sontent with it. As Yankee/Baseball fans we have to look at it from two different perspectives. As the Yankee fan, like I said, it sucks. As a Baseball fan, it's amazing.


I wasn't even mad, I just went to bed.........and pondered many things untill I fell asleep....and school felt very dark the next day(literally.....I think i was going blind)
How were you able to sleep? I was throwing shit. I threw my remote at the tv (thankfully it hit something to the side). I punched a wall. I was yelling, cursing, and crying (yes, I cried. Baseball, along with my family, friends, and girlfriend is one of the things I get very emotional about). School the next day sucked because there was this Sox fan in my first period class who just wouldnt shut up. That was definately one of my worst nights.

I was actually at game 7 and I was in a daze for about a good week or 2. It was kinda like Ruffing said. Everything seemed a little dark.

Literally...I didn't know what else to do...me and my freinds had made this cool ass Yankee shirts that we were gunna wear.....and then they lost...

I just layed in bed...woke up, and I remember after the WS game 4 was over, I woke up and my mom looked at me and shook her head...and I layed back down and said I'm not going to school today

And that sounds madddd cool SoxFanOnCappe,

That's hilarious.

I think I feel the same way as alot of Yankee fans...I mean if it happened to my team...I'd be awful upset...like the above posts...but I mean I guess it would be interesting to see history. But it would be hard for me to move on...might take years...:lol:

I wouldn't have shut up either. You probably would of had to punch me.

I just counted in my head...I know 9 Yankees fans in my school....and I know 27 Red Sox fans

And, trust me, I made those first 3 games a living hell for them, so Karmas a bitch, becuase it wasn't even that they shoved it in my face...but the Just kept wearing red sox clothing, and I know its wierd...but it pissed me off. And then to top it off, I was finally over all this, and my damned friends made me watch this 'funny' movie yesterday. Fever fucking Pitch...and now I want to die, every second of that movie I hated, and it brought me right back to that night, and made me miserable.:thumbdown :thumbdown


Though when I did think back...I actually rooted for the Sox a lil, cuz I wanted the Yankees to be the only double digit WS win team...and the Cards coulda gotten number 10...but I got over that to happen fast.


And now this thread brough me back to that year, and now I need the Yankees to go undefeated to fix it all

Hahahaha. I remember a Yankee fan who was a drop out dope giving me shit the first three games, and then all of a sudden after Game 4, he never showed up at school again, so I never got to throw it back in his face. The guys logic was all messed up, if a team didn't win by 4 runs or more he didn't call it a win. Go figure, thats probably a hint as to why he's a drop out.

[CrespoBlows]

Trust me, knowing Yankee fans even if the Red Sox prove them stupid again by winning it all again this year they'll find something "refreshing" to say or who knows, maybe they'll just stick to the whole 26 to 7 argument. Don't get me wrong, I love looking at and embracing history, but at the same time it doesn't cloud my present.

Yankee fans are kind of like conservatives and Sox fans are kind of like centrists. We want to preserve our history by remaining in Fenway, but at the same time are embracing the winning tradition thats slowly brewing under current ownership.

Wow.. You just did that. You tied politcial affilations with baseball affilations. I haven't read all of your post, but you're already starting to agitate me. Badly.

[redoctober]

No, that was a stupid analogy. I have no idea what the hell you were trying to say.

Neat story here.

So I typed in talksox.com into my address bar, and saw crespoblows made a post on the bottom 5 most recent threads. So I'm like shit, this is gonna be hella good. Then I clicked it *clicks Your ELITE NYY: thread*. And sure enough, you were owning someone, just like I expected, and it was pretty hilarious too.

It wasn't meant to be a joke, it was meant to remove yourself of credibility by exposing the day you joined in case nobody noticed. Maybe you're not familar with the e-world, that's the day you don't join places.

Mabey if you had actually read the post you might understand:)


It doesn't. But, you're still a dumbass.

Look i don't always agree with what redoctober says---but at least he brings a valid argument! All you have done is resort to namecalling after admitting you didn't read everything he wrote!:rolleyes:

[schillingouttheks]

Well the truth is, it doesn't matter what else he was trying to say. Tying a political affiliations with baseball affiliations is dumb and unjustifiable.

Congrats---you just win the award for the all time dumbest argument:thumbsup:

[schillingouttheks]

I will agree with you on that one. Trying to expose someone for joining on 4/20? Give me a break.

[mtbykr]

Well the truth is, it doesn't matter what else he was trying to say. Tying a political affiliations with baseball affiliations is dumb and unjustifiable.


I am not saying that it is, i would rather keep the two seperate as well---my problem stems from the fact that redoctober made his argument (good or bad) and people respond with namecalling. If you don't like someone's argument--then refute it or say so. Again i am not trying to defend anyone here--rather just make a point on how people respond to an argument!

exactly i agree with you on this one , and i actually found redoctober's arguments pretty good as well wich is probly why most of the yankee's are pissed at him

Toronto is not a real team? Toronto seems to own Boston and the bullpen isn't at 100% yet. You might have a problem even making 2nd place in the east this year, let alone first.
