Yuck the Fankees
;)
Sorry Yanks fans but as someone who was brought up as a hater of the Yankees, I just have to express my glee that they lost tonight. Hell I don't care, I am just happy they lost, today was a perfect sports night, the steelers won, and the sox won.

15. yep as Ive been saying
Edited on Mon Oct-18-04 01:28 AM by JohnKleeb
Y'all are gonna get shat on by an orange and black bird. I know its Angelos' fault Moose left but I find it funny that he still hasn't got twenty wins yet, a world series ring, and a cy young award, three things he thought he would stand a better chance in getting if he went to new york. Oh and hell a no hitter too.

16. Yep time to teach those yanks a lesson

we must always remember :(
I know in my heart if we won that game in '96, we'd win game 2, and then come to baltimore up 2-0 then finish the yanks there and then beat the braves in the series.

17. BTW--John
Baltimore teams are the ultimate aphrodesiac...(reffering to your post earlier)
no matter how shy, a man who takes his girl to Camden Yards always gets something in return. :)

5. I'm a Yankees fan, so I'm biased
and I'll admit that sports basically bores me, so I haven't checked all the threads --- but it sure does seem that the Red Sox fans do a whole heck of a lot more cursing (even if the letters are transposed) against Yankees fans, whether their team wins or loses, than vice-versa.

I could very easily be wrong, just looks that way to me. :shrug:

6. I am not a red sox fan
Edited on Mon Oct-18-04 01:14 AM by JohnKleeb
I just hate the yankees, what happened in 1996, the yanks know happened to them because of a stupid kid in the right field bleachers and bad umping by Ritchie Garcia. If your team had its momentum stolen by the yankees through a bad call by an ump and a stupid kid in the bleachers, you'd be mad too. Why sox fans curse more, aren't they mostly from Massachuetts which is like Ireland Jr ;). Yanks fans may not curse as much but I think they're more arrogant, personal experience this is hwat I am talking. I hate to trash talk but god I just really enjoy seeing teh yankees suffer.

10. Yankees aren't really my team
Edited on Mon Oct-18-04 01:23 AM by qnr
Don't really care, one way or the other. Just happened to grow up in NYC, and people are always badmouthing the Yankees, so I support them more to annoy other people (not here, I've lived all over the country, I mean "annoy in person" as it were) than anything else. As far as the cursing, well, I grew up in the ghettos of NYC, and I'm a retired sailor - I have quite the expanded vocabulary, when it comes to cursing, so I don't think the Irish factor explains it.

Not really important of course, I just saw it and thought I'd comment.

Edit: Technically, I "curse" every time I post, if you happen to understand CW (Morse Code).

11. I wanted the Browns to take Roethlisberger
I was screaming for them to take Big Ben. He would have been the perfect fit - an all Ohio boy. However, Butch Davis decided to sign a 34 year old quarterback, draft Winslow, and do nothing to fortify the offensive line. Davis is not well liked at all around here.

13. Yeah I heard about that
Ohio is a fine state, I have family there, but I am a Western Pennsylvanian at heart so I am a Steelers fan. Davis was an idiot for doing that, though our teams are rivals, it's good that Cleveland got a team again because Modell was a jerk to do what he did.
