9. it's a game in april

and you aren't even in first place in your own division

:P

GO CHICAGO ORPHANS (Precursors to the Cubbies)

[matcom]

10. bullshit. its against the Yanks

might as well be fucking OCTOBER!

EVERY game between these clubs is the fucking WORLD SERIES!

methinks you must be a yanks fan :D

[Catholic Sensation]

12. just for this season

I decided to like them when they picked up A-Rod and the Red Sox fans cried like a bunch of babies

[Teddy_Salad]

13. Yeah...

.....ya have to laugh.

The way the Sox fans have been booing A-Rod all weekend, of course they'd be loving him if Red Sox ownership had of gone the extra mile.....A-Rod was prepared to.

The word 'fickle' springs to mind.

[Catholic Sensation]

15. well it's not the management's fault it didn't go through

it was the idiotic player's union that fucked it all up.

But who cares, I found the reaction in Boston to the Yankees getting A-Rod priceless. It made me love the Yankees for this season.

[Teddy_Salad]

20. Maybe so...

...but from I've read and heard there still was a possibility of it happening if Sox ownership really wanted it to.

Yeah, the players union is fucked up but they're also a nice fallguy for Red Sox management to blame too.

After all, the Yankees could get it done and the Red Sox couldn't.

[matcom]

18. this is ONE Sox fan who never wanted the overpaid chump

and there are MANY out here. take your sports 'news' much like to do CNN. with a BIG grain :eyes:

most of the fans i know out here NEVER wanted ARod for that kind of money.

[Catholic Sensation]

19. well i could almost see Peter Gammons crying when the deal fell apart

Peter Gammons is to objective baseball reporting to what Sean Hannity is to objective news reporting.

[Teddy_Salad]

21. Oh yeah

Sox fans would have been pissed if A-Rod was playing SS for them now because he makes too much money.

ROTFL..... }(

[matcom]

22. we didn't need him

and it would have been STOOPID with the salary issues we got at the end of the year.

nope. your right. all Sox fans are MORANS :eyes:

[Catholic Sensation]

23. I think the deal with the yanks worked much better for texas

Soriano is hitting almost .400, stealing bases, and hitting home runs. Because I'm actually a Rangers fan (but letting them go this season, might come back if they decide that pitching might be a good thing to have) I liked this deal much more. Manny is a whiney bitch sometimes. Alfonso > Manny.

[Teddy_Salad]

25. You're right

nope. your right. all Sox fans are MORANS

Yep, you're right. They must be morans if they didn't want the best player in baseball.

After all, they were going to send Nomar to the White Sox to open up SS for A-Rod.
Or were the Sox fans salivating and going crazy at the thought of Pokey Reese playing SS.

Come on, Matcom! If we were talking about the Sox getting Rey Ordonez, I'd believe you but it's A-Rod for crying out loud.

A-Rod!

Sheesh. :eyes:

[Catholic Sensation]

26. I love A-Rod, but

he isn't the best player in baseball. Steroids or not, Bonds is the best.

[JohnKleeb]

27. gotta admit tho, A-Rod is pretty damn talented

[Catholic Sensation]

31. yes, but he's not as talented as Bonds is

[JohnKleeb]

33. Bonds is talented of course, will give ya that

[matcom]

29. yup A-Rod

the same A-Rod who had exactly ONE hit (single) in this 4 game series and committed THREE errors :eyes:

THAT A-ROD?

look. the Sox are a different kind of team. "TEAM" being the operative word.

would we have taken A-Rod? DAMNED STRAIGHT except....

EXCEPT... he ain't as important as the COMBINATION of players we got. Manny(yes he can whine), Nomar(the ONLY reason Pokey is playing is because he is injured - so strawman out), Johnny Damon, Ortiz, Meuller, Kaplan, Nixon, etc.. etc.. etc..

Frankly Schilling was a FAR FAR better pick up for this team than A-Rod would have been.

he wasn't worth the fucking money. period. not in the scope of things

[JohnKleeb]

30. 3 errors heh and one hit

I would keep pokey in the infield, hes a damn talented infielder. Schilling is a great horse with a lot still in him.

[NewYorkerfromMass]

24. What MATCOM said!

YEAH!!!!

[MAlibdem]

14. not very progressive of you

the new york yankees are the most disgustingly ruthless business people ive ever seen. worse than enron by half

[Teddy_Salad]

16. Oh puleeeeze!

Worse than Enron?? Get real!

[Catholic Sensation]

17. it's fucking sports not politics

lighten up

[MAlibdem]

35. i agree...

i was kidding...


btw...don't wear yankee's gear in boston...we will get you.

[JohnKleeb]

38. what about orioles gear?

after all we are winning the season series :D.

[Catholic Sensation]

39. I wore Cowboys gear in Philly AT THE VET

Sox fans are pussies compared to Eagles fans. :D

[redqueen]

28. Money ruined it.

Just the fact that it's all money money money now makes me almost hate the game, but I still can't help rooting for the Sox. :)

[Catholic Sensation]

32. they (BoSox) have like the second highest payroll in baseball

it's hypocritical for bosox fans to bitch about money in baseball. Their top three pitchers are making more than the entire Devil Rays team or someting.

[JohnKleeb]

34. meanwhile the A's sit in first place with a low payroll

reminds me I gotta read moneyball one of these days.

[Catholic Sensation]

36. read Trail Fever by Michael Lewis instead

I think it's better than Moneyball (which I read also)

[JohnKleeb]

37. Trail Fever is about what?

[Catholic Sensation]

40. the 1996 Presidential Campaign

it's quite funny. I read this when it came out and this is how I came to like John McCain

[JohnKleeb]

42. ahh ok

I am not a big fan of McCain, I like him better than the average republican and respect him for his military service though.

[redqueen]

41. I don't mean it affects which team I root for

It just dampens my affection for the game. Money and drugs, I mean. I'd still root for the Yanks if I were a fan no matter the money or drugs, it's just that those two things have done more than anything else to bring down the sport.

I hope that made more sense. I'm not very good at this. :)

[Teddy_Salad]

11. Booooo!!!!!

Hey.....who's the plate umpire? Keith Foulke's father??? }(

GO YANKEES!!!
