The Bitter Rivals Thread

[SDL]

Hopefully, one year, they will get ahead of the Yankees (but like 10th or below in payroll) and literally run away with the divison. Will it be anytime soon? I hope so because the Yankees' winning the AL east all the time is hogging up the AL East. Make room for some one else, like the Sox of Scarlet. Please? Or else, I'm going to have to make a deal with A-Rod to leave NYC to go to the Devil Rays to play SS.

Edit: To answer a question.



I believe that is Ron Fairly.

It was Moose Skowron..a guy the Yankees DUMPED after the '62 season..and he more or less had the last laugh in '63...

i'm a diehard Yankee fan and i am tierd of hearing sawx fans and met fans complaing about our pay-roll. If i am not mistaken the Sox and Mets are 2 and 3 in payrolls I would like to congradual the Red Sox for being the most expensive third place team in the history of baseball.

I'd like to *congratulate* the Yankees for choking six straight years in the post-season.

Here's best wishes for Choke #7 in 2007...

A little off topic, but I found two traitors and locked them up. Here's who I rounded up, Johnny "The Traitor" Damon, and his buddy Adam Vinatieri joins. Should the Red Sox fans show up and give him the Johnny Damon greeting for betraying the Patriots? Both Damon and Vinatieri are now in jail for betraying the city of Boston and the town of Foxboro.



Along the two traitors are the famous escapees of Boston, who defected to Boston's rival cities:

Vinatieri is going to get a Damon-like reception Sunday night

Hey, Ken. I hear it's your day. Not your year, but your day.

The Great Pumpkin may just pass by at midnight!


It's too bad that you'll have to wait until 2090 to see it. Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww.

Jeter winning the gold glove over Alex Gonzalez and M. Young is the biggest 'pumpkin' I've seen in a while . . .

1. A Gonzalez..BOS -- 7 E - .985
2. M Young.....TEX --14 E -- .981
3. D Jeter.......NYY - 15 E -- .975

[Solair Wright]

Well, Jeter didn't deserve the Gold Glove. Gonzo should have clearly won that and made a LOT less errors. It's just another feud the Yankees and Red Sox get in. Would he please get a gold glove, not the one who made 15 errors, Derek Jeter? Please? I'll be nice...just let the dog (Alex Gonzalez) get his bone (Golden Glove) again? Look at him below, he's begging for another Golden Glove.



Prepare for trouble, Yankees fans. Don't make that double, we have a weapon ready. Endangered Yankees (one year left or not on their contracts) will be with the Red Sox. Imagine, the storming boos Jorge Posada, Bernie Williams, A-Rod, or Gary Sheffield would get once they leave New York. Posada would make a lot of New York Yankees fans cry in shame because he'll get booed at his own stadium... Do you miss him? Well, tough. It's going to be a different story for the rivalry than the 2006 one, where the Yankees won the series.

I personally do not want to see A-Rod in a Sox uni. Seems teams play better after they get rid of him. Let him stay with THEM.

I'd rather see Nomar back...

[Solair Wright]

Except for Seattle. They've been looking for a good shortstop that can be like A-Rod and they haven't come close yet. You know what? Keep him with the Yankees, and watch as his acronym pays out. His acronym is:

Another Round One Disaster. If you want to go past Round 2, then don't have ARod with you on the team. This will eventually cause the Yankees to eventually give up his multi-million dollar salary to a poor team.

Seattle did quite well right after A-Rod left. In fact, our best season came the year after he left.

And really, every team in the majors has looked for a shortstop that can be like A-Rod (when he's at his best).

You know how the Boss guarantees a World Series victory every year? My answer is: I've got a bridge to sell you! Big Papi just won the Silver Slugger, and maybe this upcoming season, he'll hit slightly above .300 with a lot of home runs. Derek Jeter and Robinson Cano? Who's that?

You realize that Yaz is the last player to win the Triple Crown, and his teammate was a former Yankee too? His name was Elston Howard.

You forgot this other former Yankee who joined the Sox in the middle of the season as well...

just 1

There is only 1 rivalry in baseball, the rest are just small disagreements.

Not really. New York and Boston just have the biggest yakkers.

[The Kid]

What would johnny damon do?
1. Cut his hair and shave for a few extra bucks a year
2. Stab all of boston in the back
3. Shag all A-rod's balls

Johnny Sucks!

[SoxSon]

That aside (and I'm willing to agree ), do you think there's a rivalry in baseball today to match it?
