The Bitter Rivals Thread

[YankeeMan]

In honor of the victims, I'd like us to remember what we should've been talking about:

Lelisa Desisa Benti was the men’s winner of the Boston Marathon this morning, with Rita Jeptoo winning the women’s division for the second time in her career.

Benti, who was running just his second marathon (he won earlier this year in Dubai), is a 23-year-old native of Ethiopia who trains with 2009 Boston Marathon champion Deriba Merga. He won in 2 hours, 10 minutes and 22 seconds on an ideal day for runners, with temperatures near 50 at the finish.

“The race was just fine for me,’’ he said. “The downhill was easy, but the uphill was very hard.’’

Micah Kogo of Kenya was second in 2:10:27 with Gebregziabher Gebremariam of Ethiopia third in 2:10:28. Wesley Korir, last year’s winner, was third in 2:12:30. Jason Hartmann of the U.S. was fourth in 2:12:12.

These individuals should have had their "moment in the sun." Instead, we're left with tragedy.

My thoughts are with all touched by this tragic event.

Yeah, the only people who should be terrorizing the Bostonians are the YANKEES!

...and the Raiders, Rangers, and Lakers.

"The people of Boston only take three things seriously: sports, politics, and revenge."

Apparently, these people don't know who they're f'ing with...

And, for the first time I can remember, I'm glad the sawx won today. :disbelief:

Yeah, it was some [email protected] with a pressure cooker.

...got me pulling for the sawx. With the Yanks behind them in the standings. Damn shame. It's crime against nature...

I almost changed to a "B" avatar on Tuesday! And they sang "Sweet Caroline" at The Stadium? DEAR GAWD!

They better hope they get the death penalty 'cause if I ever catch up to 'em... Well, let's just say it won't be quick or painless.


They'd deserve it. After all the pain I've been through.

Does he take the mound before or after he picks up his Social Security check?

I was bored so I looked up some Bos/NY individual pitching stats:

A.L. Top ERA

01. Clay Buchholz - 0.90
06. Jon Lester - 1.73
08. Andy Pettitte - 2.01
14. Hiroki Kuroda - 2.35
19. CC Sabathia - 2.57
20. Ryan Dempster - 2.65

Then I just realized your top ERA starting pitcher is the 79 year old . . .

Team ERA:

• 1. Red Sox - 2.71

• 5. Yankees - 3.75

I was going to say something witty...

YankeeMan won't be taken down easily . . . . .

That's for sure... I definitely wouldn't let those Beaneaters take me alive!

You know, I probably shouldn't say that. Back in 1979, I went to Fenway to see the Yanks play. The people were quite friendly... A few even bought me a beer... It didn't come in a cup... But it's the thought that counts, right?

Boy, did I ever miss your, 'special', sense of humor while you were in retirement. -
