Red Sox rule!!! Yankees are toast, dead, kaput..A-Rod still sucks...and all other baseball stuff..
one man's opinion...

Posted on 08/08/2013 11:40:01 AM PDT by ken5050

OK..it's sort of a slow news day. All anyone wants to talk about is Megyn Kelly getting the 9pm slot at FOX News. So, rejoicing as I am in the completely unexpected success of my beloved Red Sox this season, and hopeful of pissing off as many Yankees fans as possible, I thought I'd start a baseball thread.

Sawx have the best record in baseball. Kudos to the front office for completely restructuring the team. And the Yankees are imploding..they're just about out of the playoffs..even with the addition of the second wild card.

Except for the NL East, which the Braves have all but locked up..we still have several exciting division and wild card races..

And there's always A-Rod...

Several years back..I did an ongoing baseball thread...if there's enough interest, judging by response, I'll start it again, and ping y'all..

So sound off about everything and anything baseball related..

I am a Napoli fan, not so much Red Sox. Rangers are finally getting hot again and hopefully will outpace the A’s.

Okay, I decided to see how far back the NYY’s are from the first place team vs. my lowly Seattle Mariners. Both are 11.5 games behind. Wow, if I were you I would be mad too; especially considering how much higher the NYY’s payroll is.

Good job beating the Yankees third string, Ken :)

It does look like they are done. Can’t put together a win. Either the pitching stinks, the hitting is absent, or they blow a lead like they did twice last night.

Go Rays!

Red Sox Owner John Henry had $70 million lying around in petty cash. He could:

a) Buy the Boston Globe
b) Buy A-Rod's contract...( The Sawx can use a 3rd baseman)

They are BOTH lousy choices...

Loving the Red Sox this year despite all the stupid trades they’ve made recently.

Seeing the Yankees implode is beautiful.

Honest question- I am a Yankees fan, living in MN.

Why do they hate A-Rod? Because of his money? It seems like the whole world hates him. Like the Demo-haters and conservatives alike. Is it jealousy?

Indeed...anyone outside the Skankees and the Sodomite Sox is welcome to the AL East crown.

Braves and Pirates have better records.

As long as you don't count the National League...where men are men and pitchers hit.

what is it with the penis envy of the Boston fans? They have a better team... move on. Yankees stink this year and probably for the next few unless they get a 250mil bailout like the Red Sox got from the Dodgers.

Once the Sox get to, say half the championships the Yankees have, then come back and brag.

An old fan of the Sox, I’m watching the season pass in awe and hoping - fingers crossed - that they don’t do their usual end-of-season nosedive.

A-Rod is very damaged goods. His history with the Yankees has been marked by strange off and on the field behavior. For example, his barking out a sound when the Toronto Blue Jays 3rd baseman was attempting to catch a pop fly. Or when he tomahawked the ball out of the Red Sox player’s glove while running to first base. Or his incredible claim that he only used anabolic steroids during the 3 years while he played for the Rangers. No one believes his stories, and he exudes a lack of class and tremendous amount of insecurity. While he won the Yankees a WS ring in ‘09, the rest of his tenure has been strange, at best, and dishonest at its worst. Yankees fans have always recognized the guy is a distraction, a cheater, and all about ME.

Mostly because AROD is a JERK.

In addition to that, he is overpaid cheater.

He has almost always been a no show in the post season. He chokes.

He is the epitome of what is wrong with baseball.
