>>he’ll be hired pretty darned fast by someone.”
even if it’s to be part of a broadcast team. I remember
Joe Torre doing color commentary for CBS Radio’s coverage
of baseball (Game Of The Week)
>>A high payroll might get you to the playoffs. Ref. the Yankees. But it won’t win you a world series ring.
Florida Marlins, 2003 (including Josh Beckett,
who pitched a dandy—complete game, IIRC—in the
deciding game 6)
I guess the Toronto Blue Jays would win all the World Serieses from 2009-2013....or would that be 2008 to 2012.
their jerky announcers
omg! They are the BIGGEST whiners I have ever heard!
I don't think the Yankmees would agree with your statement.
The Red Sox (and the Yankees) travel well. It's as simple as that.
Sour grapes.
Agreed, and add Jeter and Mariano to the list as well. A-fraud, Juice Giambi, and Johnny Judas Damon can go to hell, though.
HOW ‘BOUT THEM INDIANS!!!!
To the Yankees: Enjoy “The Curse of the Carpetbagger”.. haha
To LEBRONX JAMES: GET OUTTA TOWN YOU BUM!
You mean OnlyinMay Rod. He had a terrible series, as usual. He is a multi million dollar choke artist.
Yankee Fans please take a number before jumping off the bridge!
>>Mariano
When the Sox opened their 2005 season it was vs. the
Yankees and the Yankees had to see the championship
team from the previous year get introduced at Fenway Park
(I think the ring ceremony was then, too). Torre took it in stride—and when Rivera was introduced, he was cheered by
the Sox fans—and Mariano smiled and laughed. That was nice.
He could have been sullen and angry but they were acknowledging that they had beaten him the year before...
(mock cheers? but still kinda good natured)...
“to be the best, you’ve got to beat the best”. Rivera
was usually lights out but the Sox got past him.
And for smiling and taking the “cheers” well, Rivera
got OUR respect. Sure, the Sox beat him but there
were times when it was the other way around...so
it felt good to come out on top...THAT time.
The Curse of the Bambino was lifted almost immediately after Hillary came out: to declare herself a Yankee fan.
Now, with her and Julie Annie firmly in the Yankee$ corner, I hope and expect they will not win in this century.
Ya know, I would agree, but what about Mass? I mean, they have Chappaquidick Ted, Kerry the self-admitted War Criminal, Barney Fwank, and a host of other odious politicians.
But the Patriots are winning, and the Sox are still in it. Shouldn’t the Massachusetts teams be cursed too?
Yankees haters official ball caps are made for fans of most teams. They have the Orioles, Mets, Red Sox, Dodgers, and many other teams’ versions.
I wann’t going to buy one, until the Yankees filed a lawsuit against the owner of the Yankee hater website. So I bought several, and give them away as gifts.
I know what you mean...I recall some Yankee fan callers gloating about how it's okay, now the Mets fans can come and cheer for a REAL championship team...
Well, the 4 teams left have payrolls ranking 2nd, 26th, 27th and 28th. So I'd say that team chemistry is pretty important. The outlier there is the Red Sox. I remember the days when it was "24 players, 24 cabs" after games for them, but times have changed in the Fenway clubhouse. That's a team that pulls together now. John Henry hasn't just bought up expensive ball players, he's gotten ones with particular attitudes and gifts and fit them together.
Yes indeed. Turnabout is fair play.
Hey...add me to your CT ping list!
I’m just a happy, optimistic Red Sox fan having a little fun on this blog. I say the Red Sox are going to pay the Indians back for that playoff game in 1948. You tell me to knock off the juvenile, trash talk. What’s up with that? I don’t want to jump to any conclusions about you because I don’t know anything about you, except for an unusually high degree of grumpiness for no known reason. Get rid of the raincloud over your head and come out into the sunshine. Good luck on your Indians, but the Bosox are going to thump them.
Go Indians!!!
