The Bitter Rivals Thread

[Mattingly]

why does everybody on this thread post in bold and italics?

Mostly bold + colors, but not much italics.

This thread is mostly about joking, ragging on your opponents' fans. All in good fun, never personal. We use colors to make a point (most of which are somewhat silly). The whole thread is rather comical, and it takes a person interested in baseball humor and cutesy fun to understand it.

I'll have to clean out my coke bottled eyeglasses. I could've sworn that you just agreed with me. Oh, never mind, it was all a dream.

Getting away from baseball, I must say that Sunday is officially BE KIND TO ANAHEIM DAY! Please make sure to show them their proper respect (and groove a few down Main St).

We definitely treated them with respect and no just Sunday but the whole series.
We didn't let them run, (or reach), the bases in that hot southern California sun. Is that nice or what?

[KenFougere]

Wow, the Rangers sure are playing well without Hamilton!

I'm not surprised.
Although they're 5-5 in their last 10 games, they're one of the top 5 teams in the AL and have a talented line-up.

All Red Sox fans...SING!

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, muggers, 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)

That was a good game. Give credit to Buchholz for silencing the bats. Bartolo didn't pitch bad. His mistake was the AG home run. Joba's mistake was the home run by Youk that broke a close game.
I really enjoy beating the Yankees in New York the most. -

Beckett looked amazing. Struck out nine in six innings.

Hey Matt...how did Beckett look to you? Remind you of 2003 or what?

It's like, "Deja vu all over again."

Nice broom pic, but this one rubs it in even better . . .

What's all the hate about?

Hey Mat,

Why is there so much animosity between veteran players and the manager/front office? - :disgruntled: -

Ken..

Leave us face it.

Hank Steinbrenner naturally inspires animosity...

True, but I don't think he's even involved in this situation.
