It's official. Yankees v. Red Sox in ALCS.

[WilliamPitt]

Here we go again.

[russian33]

1. In the words of a 'great statesman' BRING IT ON!

Yankees all the way!!! (as usual)

[H2O Man]

16. The Yankees

are the greatest sports team ever. I've always been a Yankee fan. A couple years ago, I gave my brother back his 1963 Yankees yearbook, mint condition, autographed by the entire team. Our family has always loved the greatest baseball team.

[Presidentcokedupfratboy]

31. The Yankees are the Republican Party of baseball

They represent greed, avarice and overbearing arrogance.

The Sox, on the other hand, have a better team and will bring down the Evil Empire in seven.

Yankees suck!

[lpbk2713]

35. I was just thinking the same thing.

Steinbrenner is the archtypical repuker.

Go Sox, take it all the way!!

[avb7]

2. I wouldn't want it any other way......

and the Curse will continue!!!!

[matcom]

3. YYYYAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYY

time to kick some pin-striped ASS BABY!!!

BRING.EM.ON!!!!!

[KoKo]

4. OMG! Week of Hell for me in my House! Good for all you BoSox fans

and my hubby...but "living hell" for me....:D I will have to cook lots of pasta with "red sauce and extra cheese!"

[WindRavenX]

5. oh god

oh god not again
NOT THIS SHIT AGAIN

[-..__...]

10. Been there, done that.

[MaineDem]

6. It's deja vu all over again

But with a different outcome this year. :thumbsup:

But we have to get ready for a lot of trash talk. Sadly! :eyes:

[Kathy in Cambridge]

11. Time to put the nasty Yankee fans on ignore

of course there are plenty of nice ones on DU :-)

[proud patriot]

7. Good luck to both teams

:-)

[coreystone]

34. The typical impartial comment of a "moderator" :-) ....

Or, are you doing a Donald Trump in donating $2000.00 to both Bush and Kerry?

I am just being :silly:

[JohnKleeb]

8. This is gonna be get ugly

[MaineDem]

13. Thankfully, I don't have much time to read the Lounge this year

Too busy working on the election.

How're you doing, JK? Not to highjack Will's thread but I haven't been around much. School going well?

Ok, now back to the Red Sox-Yankee thread.

[JohnKleeb]

15. School is going great but I just lost my temper at my damn brother

and I would love to have a drink. Well it's been ugly here pre ACLS with the Yanks, Red Sox etc, Ive been good I guess, enjoying the last year of HS, and I dont hate chem anymore thanks to the fact I transfered in to the best teacher in the school's class.

[Kathy in Cambridge]

9. keee-rist

I don't think my heart can take it this time.

[WindRavenX]

12. same here

Oh christ, I am going to be so fucked up starting Tuesday...which, oh by the way, IS THE START OF MIDTERMS.
Fucking A.

[KoKo]

14. Howard Won Election in Australia! If BoSox don't come through the Chimp

get's another term! It's up to them...If they win Kerry has a chance...we've got to watch this closely...I have no doubt the Yankees have the "bag man" waiting to find the person to "do the deed."

But then...I'm a DU :tinfoilhat: so I'm figuring the Yankees will do what it takes. :D

Oh Hell...I don't even like Pro Sports..

[fishnfla]

17. shit its like Bush vs Gore all over again nt

[Career Prole]

18. Fate is what it is.

This is what they were talking about in those whattyacallit...Revelations! That's it! Here's your Armageddon.
Steinbrenner's team vs. JK's team.
The fate of the world as we know it hangs in the balance, baby!
:bounce:

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

27. Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together - mass hysteria.

[Viking12]

19. BoSox get the midwestern juice.....

Beat the Damn Yankees!!!!!

[UrbScotty]

20. See the Constitutional amendment I have proposed

[WindRavenX]

21. snarf

Good work ;)

[Ellen Forradalom]

22. There goes my marriage

It's hell living with a Red Sox fan. I don't know how much more torture my husband can stand.

On edit: To make things worse, our son is five this year and has taken to backing the Yankees just to tweak his dad. He cries when the Red Sox win. I think we are going to have to arrange an intervention.

[Edwardsgroupie]

23. The little AL matchup is of no consequence.

Any of the NL teams could beat Boston or New York without much trouble

[Crewleader]

24. Makes October with it's chilling temps up there....

exciting,as I remember with joy watching the games, the playoffs and world series with our Red Soxes vs Yankees' very extra special. It's hard to believe how fast the year went by, you bet my fingers are crossed for our Red Soxes William! :hi:



Go Pedro...the hair is in! :-)

[OneBlueSky]

25. Red Sox cannot win because . . .

well, it would violate natural law . . . and there are some things you just have to believe in to function in this life . . . that the sun will come up tomorrow, that Kerry will win, and that the Red Sox will blow it to the Yankees in October . . .

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

26. It's on like Donkey Kong. Sorry Twins fans, but it was necessary for

the Red Sox to face, and vanquish, their ancient foe to finally claim their destiny.

[maveric]

28. The Sox have to take it in 5.

If it goes back to Yankee Stadium for a 6th or 7th game the Yanks will win it.

[tedoll78]

29. I usually don't follow baseball.

I usually don't care. Overpaid/spoiled players & owners, $10 hotdogs, grown men playing a child's game for a living.. we've all heard the schpiel.

But this year, I do care because it might make a tiny, tiny, tiny difference in the real world.

Go Red Sox. Kick their asses.

[Lexingtonian]

30. whatta year for the Northeast

All I can say is: Boston already has a Super Bowl and probably a President out of this year. Now, making Steinbrenner cry and having Jeter make excuses into the camera for a couple of nights would be icing on the cake.... :D

Oh, you well meaning NL team fans and AL West and Central team fans, we're sorry. You're the unfortunate victims of a no-holds-barred war, now about three years old, between the owners of these two AL East franchises to build the ugliest and meanest juggernaut of a team possible to smash and grind each other into the ground. As far as they're concerned, the rest of major league baseball exists in order to be raided for players and crushed at playoff time, with Sox-Yankees showdowns the point of it all. It's not fair to fans and is bad to/for the game, but that's how it is. The ALCS pretends to be about baseball; the nicest thing that could be said about the reality behind the scenes is that it could actually be fixed by baseball bats- issuing a bunch of them to John Henry & gang and Steinbrenner and his minions, and letting them go at each other....

[AVID]

32. GO Sox!!!

[FlyByNight]

33. Go Sox!

There's a Yankee fan in my office and it's going to be tense the next couple of days.

[truthbetold]

36. AGH, why?

As a Yankee fan, I nearly had to go get a triple bypass last year around this time. My 18 year old ticker can't take it again, haha.

[DemVIctory]

37. Best of luck to the Boston Red Sox

from a Cub fan. Our curse is next to go!

[jus_the_facts]

38. .....and now a message from me and The Babe.....

......NEVER FORGET 1918 MISTER!! :evilgrin:

[jus_the_facts]

39. a curse an a kick....

:P
