The Bitter Rivals Thread

Somehow I figured you would throw up a picture of him at some point

Alfred E has more intelligence and is more human than King George, Hanky-Poo and Joey Pitbull combined.

And something that they all lack- respect

Boston's staying in town, but there are "Birds" flocking Fenway - the same "Birds" that was swept in Toronto. Now it's the Yankees turn to suffer the Blue Jays' wrath. Do you think it'll happen that Toronto will at least win one game this series? I do think so!

Approximately an hour ago, word went out publicly on the YES Network that beloved Yankee CFer Bobby Murcer has lost his battle with brain cancer.

On behalf of Yankee fans, please give us some time to pay our respects to the always loving man who many grew up watching.

Thanks, and best of luck, including in baseball.

RIP

It's a sad day in baseball alright, unfortunately. Former Yank Bobby Murcer lost the battle to a brain tumor, the exact same diagnosis that the late Johnny Oates had suffered from. Let's be respectful to him, and pray for the best for him and his family as a memorial to a great announcer.

Rest in peace, Bobby Murcer.

Thanks, Solair, for posting this here, under CE and the Yankee forums.

Thanks, Solair, for posting this here, under CE and the Yankee forums.

You're welcome. It's a shame, because someone in my neighborhood has the exact same thing as what Murcer died from, and he had it since 2001. There is no such cure for glioblastoma multiforme right now, but anyway, time to cut to the chase.

Now back on topic: How did the Yanks win today against Toronto? You guys weren't supposed to win because I wanted Toronto to win a series against you guys for once. Okay, I'm getting out of hand now. Tomorrow afternoon will mean no bottom of the 9th, and that's a guarantee.

The Red Sox future is playing in Yankee Stadium.

See him

Know him

FEAR HIM

[Westlake]

Who is that, Lin?

[SDL]

Who is that, Lin?

Sure is

Pic is from last spring's Olympic Qualifier. He was 0 5 .286 for Taiwan in the tourney and it's a good bet he'll be in Beijing in 3 weeks. I like the way this kid looks

HEY YANKEES...A RED SOX PROSPECT GOT THE LARRY DOBY TROPHY!!!!!

WON IT IN YANKEE STADIUM!!!!!!!

[Solair Wright]

It turned out I was right on my guarantee. We'll resume the quest for the AL East Title on Friday, where the Red Sox head to Hollywood to battle the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim of California of the United States (I think that's their current name ), and the Yanks are battling it out against the upstart Oakland Athletics at Yankee Stadium.

First it was Che-Hsuan Lin on Sunday...

Now....

[Mattingly]

Thank you, Tito. He didn't go for the save, didn't get a win, but he did put Mo in there, insuring that he wouldn't miss the game altogether. Who knew at the time that it would go 15 innings?

Anyway, Francona did A-OK by me.

[Solair Wright]

Well, the NL lost, but this time it was a case of mismanaging on the manager's part.

Clint Hurdle's mismanaging has cost another game against him (one of about over 50 for his Rockies). I'm not upset, but his mismanaging this season has been quite obvious after a major fluke season last year. He's trying to claw his way out of the NL basement, but his team isn't exactly the best. Hard luck manager, I guess?

Back on topic: The race to the AL East begins tomorrow, live at a local ballpark/television set/bar/etc. near you! (corny joke, and congrats to the AL on winning again)

[Solair Wright]

The AL East race resumes tonight, with Yanks playing Oakland at New York and the Red Sox play at Anaheim. There is nothing new to the race, unfortunately. Though the Yanks got the "Living Strikeout/GIDP/Low BA Machine" Richie Sexson, but that will help since Hideki Matsui's season is likely over. (season-ending left knee surgery)

Anyway, the race to October resumes now.
