The Bitter Rivals Thread

[Mattingly]

I was at the game. Was funny to see the bandwagon Rays fans think they were hot (stuff). Amazing how they think yelling "BOSTON SUCKS" is gonna hurt us.

Just remember, TB = Yankee Stadium South South (yeah, twice). Just as Camden Yards is alternatively Yankee Stadium South or Fenway South, Tampa Bay is where the Yanks have their MiLB team, and where George lives, has his TB group of FO people.

Now that we've finally won a game in Yankee Stadium West (trust me, there weren't many fans in Anaheim before 2002), they can return to attempting to figure out which city they play in.

Anyway, off to Motown, then we'll see one team out there (I tend to forget their name, but not that they're important or anything). Anyway, wish us luck, and eventually, I'll wish you folks the same ... in April or so!

I think Jeter lives in tampa too

I think Jeter lives in tampa too

From what I've read in the local scribes (gossip columns of the NY Post & Daily News), Derek Jeter lives somewhere in Midtown Manhattan on the East Side. With his salary, he could have a "2nd or 3rd house" down there, but who knows?

Anyway, rain, rain, go away, we need Beantown to lose today!

You're back to 5 games behind, already? I thought I threw all the New York Yankees' fanbase in jail for coming back too soon. Guess I'll have to throw them BACK in! Here's a picture of the prison cell I'll throw you all in:



White Sox vs. Red Sox? As long as the Red Sox know what they're doing, they should net a series win.

Where's that pic? Rikers? The Tombs? Sing Sing?

Reading the above, brought back memories of many past seasons.

It also shows how much the tables have turned . . .

Tim Wakefield allowed three hits in seven shutout innings
and joined teammate Josh Beckett as the major league’s only 16-game winners . . .

Daisuke Matsuzaka's record could have been 19-4.
But 6 of his 10 losses, were 'Tough Losses'. (Quality Starts with no run support.)

Not to mention Wake's 22 straight shutout innings...

My vision must be going.... Is that a 1 in front of that 6 where the Tiger's score is? That can't be right....

This must be a belated April Fool's Joke

Next three games will be fun to watch

[Solair Wright]

What was Monday night's final score again? Was it something like 16-0 Tigers? Yes? Well, the Moose got the noose by Tigers batters, and poor pitching doomed New York badly. Tonight, it's a raid in the Bronx against the Bronx Bomb(er)s.

I'm hoping what's his name puts bets on the Yankees again, so I could see him with a Boston Red Sox avatar.

[SDL]

I'd say that moose-hunting season starts early in Michigan...

It's put up or shut up time Yankees! What ya got?

[Urbanshocker13]

Although I've been a hardcore Red Sox fan for over 36 years & I really can't stand the Yankees, I do respect the team. I feel very privileged to have a hometown team that has been and still is involved in this VERY SPECIAL part of baseball...
It's ashame you don't appreciate this unique aspect of the game.
Both teams are lucky to have each other to compete with for so many years!

I liked that you said that! The Yankee Redsox Riverly is the best in sports! (even though It didn't really get heated till the 1970's) and I love having my team being part of it. Even tho sometime fans on both side take it too far and you can't have an itellegent conversation. I love watching the Yanks play the bosox (and going to the games and watching the redsox fans get hell in the Bleachers )
Even tho I do hate the redsox and redsox fans there is a small part of me that loves them, I am glad that they are there, I am glad to have an enemy. Especially one like the redsox, one you can respect, one with history and tradition and style that is only matched by the Yankees (at least in the American League). In 2004 after I was total crushed and the anger and Humiliation wore off. I was kind of happy for them, they finally did it! And I was happy all the curse BS could stop. So Redsox nation a Yankee Fan has a place in his heart for the redsox........If only a very very very little part

Excellent post!
Your view of this great rivalry is very much in line with my own. I look forward to sparring with you in this thread!
