The Bitter Rivals Thread

And like I have said before, this ain't 1978 and Francona ain't the damn Gerbil...

[KenFougere]

Hey Matt, don't you think it is very quiet in Red Sox Nation right now?

Hello, hello, hello, is there anybody in there?
Just nod if you can hear me.
Is there anyone home?



Let's get the brooms out!!!

10 game lead at the break says it all for me . . .

[Williamsburg2599]

Lay off, Ken. There our friends.....for today.

I ain't cheering them..but I sure as hell ain't booing them tonight

I would compare it to the USSR being "our friends" during World War 2. They're on "our side" untill this thing gets over.

*checks into Yankee Stadium*

Hmm, seems to be devoid of Yankees fans...where'd they go from 1996-2000?

Hey, Beantown, great news!

Timely hitting, bullpen give Royals win
Club raps 13 hits, relievers shut down Boston's bats



Don't worry, things will improve for 2008.



Meanwhlie, here's today's news:



Where's the ball? See below, at right:

Give it time, young lion, give it time. Mother Earth, like the Roman Empire wasn't built in a day, and neither will be the re-emergence of the Evil Empire!


The real deal:



Williamsburgh's show of jealousy:



Anyway, I hereby appoint Kansas City, home where no chowda dares roam, the new Owners of Beantown!

Now then, be afraid ... be very afraid! :applaud: :hyper:

Sure, tough talk WB2599, but the fact is that you guys are quite slumping lately.

But that doesn't matter. It gives us the opportunity to overtake you guys.

[KenFougere]

But I notice you're still in the rear-view mirror also . . .

My Fellow Dutchman...

I reiterate

This is NOT 1978 and Francona is NOT Zimmer...

[Cajun Yankee]

This is NOT 1978 and Francona is NOT Zimmer...

Sox fans, as you keep repeating that mantra over and over and over again before you go to bed each night, slip on these lovely ruby red slippers (one size fits all) and make that wish. :crossfingers:

Oh yea, don't forget to click your heels three times.

My fellow Dutchman...

You have said that before.

But your lead is now only SEVEN. It was ELEVEN a couple of days ago.
