The Bitter Rivals Thread

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't Flanders in Matt's avatar a while back?

Devil Ned Flanders??? I know that's from THOH IV from Simpsons season 5, but nah...

And yes, given to how Sox fans are 'passionate' to their team, it's more like they pray the satan. Unclassy fans

If we prayed to Satan, we might have 20 something world series like someone...

Eh, "experts," what do they know? How can I be afraid of a team named the "Scranton Wilkes-Barre Yankees?"

So how fearsome are the PawSox?

May the mighty Kevin Thompson, Bronson Sardinha, Kevin Reese and many others come down and beat Beantown. Now if only we could find a way to beat Schill and Dice-K on the same day!

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't Flanders in Matt's avatar a while back?

You mean in a Simpsons episode featuring a very tall & grumpy left-hander sporting a funky hair-do? Hmmmmmmm, I'm not too sure. Can I get back to you on that one?

Jacoby Ellsbury > everyone on the Yankees' AAA squad.

Phil Hughes>Every Sox prospect since Matt Murton/Mike Gonzalez (wait, I don't see them in Red Sox right now! Oh well)

Maybe this article can persuade you about our right...

Had to change the original joke after 2004, huh?

It's a November 2004 joke actually. Hint: when's the *NEXT* time Beantown will win.

Hey, 2090 ain't that far away, pal!

[hellborn]

Here's a joke for laugh:

When a Cubs fan asked God about the next time Cubs will win the pennant, God answered- "Not in your life"

When a Pittsburgh fan and his new-born daughter asked God about the next time Pirates will win the World Series, God answered- "Not in your daughter's life"

When a Red Sox fan and his whole family asked God about the next time Red Sox will win the division, God answered- "Not in my life"

Well, Nietzsche did say that God is dead...

Well, Nietzsche did say that God is dead...

As I am non-religious, I am willing to agree with Nietzsche.

But regarding the last sentence of this joke, I better start to believe.

[Solair Wright]

Yeah, yeah, yeah...brag all you want, Yankees fans!

The Red Sox shouldn't have problems this year, but the team that will struggle this year will be my Cardinals, unfortunately. Just because one team gets off to a good Spring Training start, doesn't mean anything in the regular season. (which means you, Yankees fans. Have fun with Jason "low batting average and a double play candidate" Giambi for two years!) *cackles*

Well, Nietzsche did say that God is dead...

Nietzsche meant that God (aka religious faith and morals) are dead...he is simply saying that people are relying less and less on God.

[Solair Wright]

Well, one thing is dead for sure, and that is the Yankees' constant, yet hopeless, quest for a World Series ring. Do you guys want one? Well, wait 79 more years. THEN you'll get it as a reward of hogging the World Series ring. Baltimore hasn't seen a World Series since 1983, and hopefully this can change soon as soon as Peter Angelos gives the ownership to someone that can help turn the losing ways of Baltimore to winning ways.

The first instance of the Legion of Doom wreaking its Evil Empire havoc on New England begins tonight. Give yourselves up now before it's too late. Otherwise, there shall be no mercy!

Last chance.

Lemmesee, in that movie, didn't the guys with no chance blow up the Death Stadium--I mean Star?

Sox 7
Yanks 5

Neener neener neener

[Solair Wright]

Well, unfortunately, that was one measly "victory" over the Empire. The first real victory is either a series win or sweep at good old Fenway Park - or even worse, at Yankee Stadium.
