The Bitter Rivals Thread

Brag all you want. You're just getting lucky, Yankee fans. Now, IF the New York Yankees gets in the postseason, how will A-Choke fare?

You may call it luck that Boston is choking, but can you call it luck that the Yanks have won about 75% of their games after the All Star game? Don't think so.

His name is Alex Rodriguez. His nickname is A-Rod. Please try being respectful.

Lots of great players do poorly in the WS. In 1946, the Splendid Splinter had 5 hits in 25 ABs.

If Alex doesn't overwhelm, so be it. It's not like he's not in a loaded lineup, so between Damon, Jeter, Abreu, Matsui, Cano and occasionally Giambi, there are lots of other alternatives.

I'm more interested in how well the team will fare against Anaheim if/when we make the playoffs. Hopefully, we'll win the division, but that's another issue.

Anyway, would it have been luck if Boston had won those games? While our closer looked very shaky last night, as he did on Sunday vs Ortiz, he didn't give up any runs that either lost or put those games out of reach. Unlike Papelbon last night in giving up the slam in a 2-1 game in the 9th.

I'm gonna tell you a story
I'm gonna tell you about my town
I'm gonna tell you a big bad story, baby
Aww, it's all about my town

Yeah, down by the river
Down by the banks of the river Charles (aw, that's what's happenin' baby)
That's where you'll find me
Along with lovers, fuggers, and thieves (aw, but they're cool people)
Well I love that dirty water
Oh, Boston, you're my home (oh, you're the Number One place)
Frustrated women (I mean they're frustrated)
Have to be in by twelve o'clock (oh, that's a shame)
But I'm wishin' and a-hopin, oh
That just once those doors weren't locked (I like to save time for
my baby to walk around)
Well I love that dirty water
Oh, Boston, you're my home (oh, yeah)

Because I love that dirty water
Oh, oh, Boston, you're my home (oh, yeah)

Well, I love that dirty water (I love it, baby)
I love that dirty water (I love Baw-stun)
I love that dirty water (Have you heard about the Strangler?)
I love that dirty water (I'm the man, I'm the man)
I love that dirty water (Owww!)
I love that dirty water (Come on, come on)

Thanks..I'd have posted it myself, but I was at the game

Just got home after a late night celebratory meal

The Magic Number is now 7

I salute the #7's of years past






And a special salute to the #7 that has been retired in Boston...
(and a HOFer to boot..or should I say SKATE?)

How typical. Finally they have won a game and they start bragging again...

How Typical. They lose and stop bragging again.


SDL, no love for J.D Drew?

Even drunk and hungover he was still scary to us...

See you after the game!

C'mon, man, let's not get personal. Mickey Mantle was an awesome Yankee player, even if he abused his liver.

Billy Martin did also, and he was a great manager for the Yanks and Oakland.

Anyway, I haven't even been around much the past few days.

Anyway, better to finally have a loss after a 3-game sweep, than a win after being swept for 3 games, I'd say.

One more thing that Yankee and Red Sox fans can agree on:
The Toronto Blue Jays are pure Canadian evil. Don't they know there out of the race? Look in their forum, all there fans are watching hockey instead, for pete's sake.

Yeah. Those dirty Canadians (:crossfingers: Sorry Troy, just kidding) make our life miserable.
