    Why is it that

    The entire season will break right for the Sox and wrong for the Yanks? Why will Wells's back hold up while Jaret Wright's shoulder fall off? Why will Curt Schilling be the same old Curt right after surgery, yet Randy Johnson will get bombed by the Sox? Why will Pavano struggle while Clement will shine?

    Finally, how do the Yankees "suck"? What's with all the blinded bias? :lol: :lol:

    Because of the curse of Andy Petitte.

    Well as a true yanks fan, I think Wright will suck. Period. Hopefully I am wrong though.

    Lol yea look out for that "aura and mystique". The only thing that can worry you as a Sox fan is the aquisition of Randy Johnson, and even then you can pray that his knee gives out sooner rather than later with that cartiledge problem.

    Pavano had 30 hits saved last year alone by Florida's defense and he's also going into more of a hitters park, in Yankee Stadium. Not to mention that the last time the Sox faced Carl Pavano he was lit up for 6 runs in 0 IP, in a 25-8 route of the Marlins.

    The MFY can blow me.

    Re: Why is it that

    Here's something of interest for sox fans--I copied it off my new favorite site other than talksox..www.yankeessuck.com...

    it's a an example into the way yankee fans think, confirming a lot of things I have always thought about "them"...but I think it's healthy to understand thine enemy

    Those Damn Yankees
    By Thomas Fitzgerald Lancaster Bureau Chief
    Date: Jan 15, 2005

    You've either been raised to love the Yankees, or hate the Yankees. In Arizona, we tasted the sweetest of victories, it still seems like yesterday, we beat the Yankees. Defeated the Evil Empire. It happened again last season, when the Red Sox finally broke 'The Curse.' They, as always, are back, and they've taken the greatest Diamondback in history. Lancaster Bureau Chief Thomas Fitzgerald, a proud, life-long Yankees fan is smiling, and he wants you to smile too. His offer? 'Join Us.'


    If you appreciate the sarcasm and humor in the question,"Who has home field advantage in The World Series this October, the National League representative…or the New York Yankees?", then you are a bona fide 26-time World Series Champion, New York Yankee fan. Thank you, Commissioner Bud Selig, for putting meaning behind the All Star game and writing a joke in the process. Brilliant!

    The Yankees are to baseball what the United States is to the world. Follow me on this one. When you’re number one with no close second in sight, it is axiomatic to earn the scorn of the have-nots…is it not? What other organization in Major League Baseball can lay claim to appearing in one out of every three Fall Classics and being home to one of every four World Series trophies?

    Understand why you love to hate the Yanks and you begin to understand the ire directed against our beloved nation from many overseas. Like the lesser among us worldwide, you love the barrels of money the evil empire brings when they come swaggering into town in their entire splendor. Hosting a three-game home stand against the dreaded Yanks means a full house. A full house brings a full parking lot, long concession lines and plenty of peanuts, programs and crackerjacks sold. A stadium filled to capacity gives owners fat wallets. The Yanks are cash cows spreading the wealth league wide, perhaps at a stadium in a city near you soon.

    The Yankees are tradition, the origin of dynasty and the benchmark for franchises to measure up against and it irritates many to no end. It is mostly envy, if you level with yourself. The fact of the matter is it would signal the year of Jubilee if your team had an owner willing to spend what it takes year after year to field a solid, competitive team as does Mr. Steinbrenner. Your team rebuilds…the Yanks contend now.

    Being a Yankee fan means never going into spring training questioning your club’s chances in the fall. And boy oh boy, is that ever nice!

    There are two ways of earning your pinstripes and embracing Yankee fandom. The first way is aristocratic…you’re born into it! That is the category I fall under. Being born into a New York City family is baseball royalty. We know it…you know it and you hate it…and we know that too.

    Being a Yankee fan means not having to worry or get embarrassed because your team blew a historically insurmountable three game to none lead in a best of seven series against a dreaded rival, because we Yankee fans are secure in the knowledge we have just as good if not a better chance of being right back in the thick of it next year. What other team can so assuredly make that statement? Perhaps the Atlanta Braves, but their reliability goes out the window with the arrival of the post season.

    Take a moment and reminisce back to the moment of "The Great October Choke of 04’." As Yankee haters, have you ever been so happy to see a team lose? You were probably thinking how it couldn’t have happened to a nicer team.

    Being a Yankee fan means being able to laugh when, immediately after the aforementioned choke, friends barrage me with email informing me the new international medical symbol for choking has been amended and has been replaced with my beloved NY insignia that adorns the caps of Yankee players.

    Being a Yankee fan means recognizing "The Great October Choke of 04’" and the subsequent Boston Red Sox World Series victory is nothing more than an act of God. You see, God, being the compassionate and benevolent God that He is, must have figured enough is enough and concluded, where’s the harm in a Red Sox championship every 86 years or so? I know this because He scheduled a lunar eclipse (once in a blue moon is far too frequent for a Red Sox championship…apparently even for God) to coincide with the miraculous event as His signal the Red Sox victory is an unusual episode that will not soon repeat.

    The alternative option available to becoming a Yankee fan for those of you unfortunate enough not to be New York bred is to hop on the bandwagon. We Yankee fans will not disparage what others may consider a choice of convenience. Instead, we openly recognize the wisdom behind the decision wishing to forgo the futility inherent in being a...Diamondback fan for instance, and welcome you into the family with open arms. After all, everybody wants to be part of a winning team.

    And now is the time to join that winning team. So please raise your right hand and repeat after me…

    "I do solemnly swear allegiance to all things New York Yankee. That I promise to

    ridicule and belittle the accomplishment of any other professional baseball team and

    state unequivocally my pledge to believe in the inferiority of all other championship

    ball clubs, their franchise and their meager history. That winning one out of every

    four World Series establishes entitlement and if another team wins in our stead, it

    will be viewed as a fluke. That I recognize that year in and year out, it is for the good

    of baseball the New York Yankee organization spend like hell and whereas the

    Yankees shall continue their winning ways and dominate Fall Classics for decades

    to come, I will insist it isn’t because of Steinbrenner’s money, it’s because other

    teams don’t try hard enough and money has nothing to do with it. That I take this

    oath freely and without reservation, for the betterment of America and all things

    baseball."

    Yes, we Yankee fans are loud, proud and often times obnoxious. But face the truth…you love to hate us and a baseball season just wouldn’t be the same without those dreaded Yanks and their winning ways.

    So Randy Johnson's knee is about to collapse while Schilling's ankle will be perfect for him to pitch? :lol: :lol: :lol:

    Did you just, dare I say, question Plump? Because, correct me if I am wrong, but that is what I saw.

    Schilling has been surgically repaired and treated and the ankle has been deemed ready by top doctors. On the other hand, RANDY JOHNSON HAS NO FUCKING CARTILAGE IN HIS RIGHT KNEE! HELL-FUCKING-O! There's a huge difference between getting surgery to be fixed and missing a part of your body.

    RETARD!
