The Bitter Rivals Thread

[Erik Bedard]

Being at the game, I didn't react in any way because I didn't particularly envy the prospect of getting beer dumped on me.

86 years of waiting?

Yeah, but it's only been 2 years since we've () won.

. . . and it's been how long for you () guys?

Just remind them of recent history

2001: Diamondbacks
2002: Angels
2003: Marlins
2004:
2005: Angels
2006: Tigers

Right now maybe. But 26 titles... You can't call that luck.

Nope, you call that smart shopping with the biggest bag of cash in the sport...year after year after year after year...
It's good to see the 2007 Yankee$ look set to relieve the 1998 Orioles of the "worst performance by the league's highest payroll team" title. I've been waiting for your lot to all get old at once for several years now. Looks like it might finally be happening...
Now you may have to trade all those young arms you duped the D-backs and Tigers out of last winter just to get five servicable starters for this season.

A question for the Yankee$ fans

When your rotation consists of:
Old Guy
Chronically Injured Guy
Other Old Guy
Second Year Phenom Guy
and
Unproven Japanese Guy...
And you drink from the endle$$ river of ca$h that runs through the Bronx...
How on earth do you not have five or six extra starters stashed at AAA for when the inevitable happens?
Still think Ca$hman is the best GM in baseball???

Gee, looking at your list, I guess it's been a while for them . . . *(and a huge pile of cash spent with no return)

[Erik Bedard]

SDL, the Cardinals won the 2006 WS, not the Tigers. And the White Sox won in 2005.

Oh, I see, those are the teams that eliminated the Yankees.

Precisely

Just means that Torre keeps his job for a few days more

Yup. But I heard that he has a lot on his mind lately. His brother having a kidney transplant. The kidney donated by his daughter.

So his job is his least concern at the moment.

So you see that this game is all relative.

(so far the serious note... )

I know that Frank had a heart transplant years ago. The kidney transplant is news to me.

If you count one instance....

I must say, Crisp is a complete no class jerk.

as a "complete no class jerk", there are a lot playing many sports. ARod interfering with a play, ARod having to be stopped by Tek to prevent him from going after a pitcher. How about those players in the bullpen that ganged up, got a man face down on the ground, and used their cleats on his back? (I was there.) Or Sheffield, ready to go into the stands, but a very quick security guard was there to prevent it? (I was there, too, with a very good view.)

We could continue this for days. First of all, this is not the thread for this. Secondly, if you are going to label one temper tantrum that risked no one, as "a complete no class jerk" , there are many of those around.

I listed the examples to show you that your sample size of one plus one is not valid. Very surprised at your anger and why you posted here.
