The official "Sox lost, I can't sleep, so post ANYTHING here" thread!

[joeybee12]

Go on, anything at all. Get it off your chest!

[charlie105]

1. Don't mean to rub it in or anything, but did you really

think you could take one in the Bronx?
}(

[joeybee12]

4. Yup, and since I predict a 7-game series, we'll end up taking two there!

[Reverend_Smitty]

2. AHHHHHH fuckin Yankees!

Fuckin Bernie, Fuckin Rivera, Fuckin Lofton, Fuckin Matsui, Fuck anyone I forgot! and I'm not even a true Sox fan...I'm just a Yankee hating Mets fan who is pulling for the Sox

[JohnKleeb]

3. I think thats what about half of us are

If they call me a Yanks hater without reason, I dare show em this.

4. Jeffrey Maier's assist (Yankees vs. Orioles, 1996 ALCS Game 1)
A week after "Jeffrey's Bar Mitzvah World Series," the 12-year-old boy sitting in the Yankee Stadium bleachers caught Derek Jeter's 8th inning fly before O's right fielder Tony Tarasco could get to it. Umpire Rich Garcia, making one of the worst calls in sports history, awarded Jeter the game-tying homer. (Later, after viewing the video, Garcia admitted he "probably would have called fan interference.")

Tarasco couldn't believe what he didn't see. "To me it was like a magic trick because the ball just disappeared out of midair ... Merlin must be in the house."
I was 9 then, I am still not over it.

[joeybee12]

5. I assume you lost your faith in God then!

Proof positive that the Yankees have signed a pact with Satan!!!!!!

[JohnKleeb]

8. No I didnt actually

[joeybee12]

9. Yeah, but think about it--this and the 2000 election proves there is NO

divine justice!

At least not on earth!

[JohnKleeb]

12. either that or Steinbrenner paid the fella upstairs off

:(.

[Presidentcokedupfratboy]

15. The Yankees are Satan's Team.

<<EOM>>

:evilgrin: :grr:

[JohnKleeb]

21. Ive known that

:D.

[charlie105]

6. If Schilling could pitch with his mouth, we might as well hand over

the cup to the Sox right now!

[russian33]

7. Did Schilling have chicken for dinner?

Cause he chocked for 3 innings straight, was it a chicken bone?...goooo YANKEES!!!

[joeybee12]

10. Go ahead and gloat--it's allowed here--I said ANYTHING...

...just wait til tomorrow night!!!!!!!

[smitty]

11. another red sox nose dive

Why torture yourself? Everyone knows that the Sox will find a way to lose. Even if the beat the Yankees, they'll go on to lose to the Cardinals in the Series and it'll be an even bigger heartbreak for Boston fans. I'd love to see Boston win it all, I'd love to see the Cubs win it all---but it's not going to happen.

[joeybee12]

13. Welcome! So you joined DU just to rub it in????

I still say Sox in 7. And you are right about one thing, it's gonna be the Cards from the NL.

[Presidentcokedupfratboy]

14. The Yankees are the GOP of baseball

They represent greed, arrogance, smugness and a sense of entitlement that just comes off as a whining child.

Then again, the Yanks are owned by a whining child.

Lets Go Mets!!!!!

[joeybee12]

16. That pretty much sums it up!

[nickgutierrez]

18. If the Yanks are the GOP...

Then the Sox are the DLC.

#2 payroll in baseball, remember.

[JohnKleeb]

22. I thought the dodgers were number 2 in payroll

That said the Red Sox and Yanks moneywise have a lot in common, I may hate those fucking yankees but the redsox spend and go after big name free agents jsut as much.

[nickgutierrez]

23. That could be the case now

I know at the beginning of the season, the Sox were #2.

[JohnKleeb]

28. wasnt denying that sox aren't big spenders

In fact Pedro and Manny lol, homemade red sox I think not.

[JackDragna]

25. Actually, both the Sox and Yanks are arrogant prats..

..the "good" teams are Montreal, San Diego, places that couldn't afford Manny Ramirez or A-Rod if they shook down their fans every home game with a bunch of no-neck thugs with bats.

[soothsayer]

17. I can't sleep either so I'm smoking a brisket! Sure wish they'd pulled

the first pitcher after the first 2 runs. We were screaming at the tv to do that, but all of baseball is so goofy with their prima donna pitchers.

Eh, let 'em have the first game, and let the Sox take the series!

[Bluebear]

19. Management hid Schilling's injury status methinks

Obviously worse than we thought. I hope he can get some fast rehab on it before the next outing!

[nickgutierrez]

20. Knowing Schilling's reputation...

I'd say Schilling hid Schilling's injury status. The 'warrior' mentality at work.

[JackDragna]

24. Post ANYTHING?

26. One bright spot if you're a Red Sox fan

I know they lost, but you've got to think positive.

The Red Sox took the best pitching the Yankees could throw at them and still scored seven runs. I think this bodes well for the Red Sox in this series. I know Mussina didn't have a Cy Young type season, but when he's on his game he's as good as anybody in baseball. And he proved that tonight by making the AL's most potent offense look like a bunch of little leaguers through six innings. But the Red Sox got to him.

Now you could say the same thing for the Yankees, but I don't think that it would be accurate. The Schilling that was out there tonight was not the same Schilling as he was in the regular season. He couldn't get his fast ball out of the 80s and his curve ball wouldn't curve. I think that ankle is really getting to him. I hope that in his next outing he can find a way to finesse the Yankees if he doesn't have his best stuff.

[stopbush]

27. It will all be over in a week, and you'll all be watching the Yankees

in yet another world series.

Shilling's ankle will join the curse legend with Bill Buckner's bad knees.

Do yourself a favor - turn off the ALCS now, spend time on DU and start thinking about next year.

Yankees in 5.

[Droopy]

29. I don't think so

I'm not going to call a winner, but I think this series has all the makings of a seven game series.

For the record I'm not a Red Sox fan, but I'm rooting for them against the Yanks. I just get tired of seeing the Yanks in it every year.

[JohnKleeb]

31. right I agree with ya man

and I too am rooting for the sox against the yanks. :shrug: Can't stand the yankees, and I am not one of these who just hates them to hate them, I have a legit reason.

[OneBlueSky]

30. in New York, October is "Yankee Time" . . .

In Boston, October is "wait until next year" time . . .

nice comeback try, though . . . Boston has a great team, and this should be a classic series . . . if the Yanks don't win, I'll cheer for the Sox in the big one . . .

Go Bombers! . . . :)

[joeybee12]

32. I actually DID sleep, and this thread picked up some very nice rants!

Any more????

[JohnKleeb]

33. Yankees suck!

[joeybee12]

34. I see you are a student of minimalism--short and to the point!

[JohnKleeb]

35. yep

Hope the sox win tonight and Kerry too and the cards.

[NYC Liberal]

36. Yankees are so BAD they WIN!
