"And that's the sign of a champion. The ability to take advantage of your opponents failure at a crucial moment. "

I guess that's why The Yankees beat Arizona in game seven last year.

"Angels Manager, Mike Sciosa [sp?]– “We just cannot win this series.”

Therefore, I will don a black hat and go on tour as a Garth Brooks' impersonator...MUD

No. That's not what I said.

If you read and understood my post I explained that the Yankees made "the" crucial mistake last year and the Diamondbacks took advantage, and that's why Arizona is the defending WS Champion.

I can't help you with your reading comprehension problem.

Original Post: Joe Torre is truly an awesome manager -- maybe the best ever -- and not only because his Yankees win games. His players love him -- and so do the fans in New York. Now to win AND have class -- that's an accomplishment!

Your reply:
Please, the Bronx Bummers have a great history, and have had a heck of a run, but don't ever try to equate class with that organization and the gatherings of 10's of thousands of dangerous thugs that are known as "Yankee Home Games".

The original post was about Torre. Nobody would ever accuse Yankee fans of having class. But let's face it - it's hard NOT to like Torre. The original post was correct: he wins and he has class. Now Yankee fans, that's another story...

"Oakland As 2002 Series Champs" lasted a couple of hours here this morning. Wonder if he'll run this afternoon as the "'72,'73,'74 World Champion Oakland A's".

I still remember the beer cups, at least one filled with urine being thrown onto Greg Vaughn in the '98 World Series.

How do you know, did it smell funny? The Fenway faithful threw garbage on the field almost forfeiting the game a few years ago.

I remember the reports of the players wives being threatened and cursed in the foulest language available.

I remember Roger Clemen's wife and kids at Fenway in 99. Cleveland fans like to make fun of dead mothers. And just about every other city riots during a world championship. Your point?

The name Eddie Whitson ring a bell for you Yankoff fans?

Sure, he kicked Billy's ass.

How 'bout the World Series that was lost, except for the intervention of a kid and a myopic umpire.

Now I'm stumped. I remember a league championship involving fan interference that should have been called. But like Patriot fans say bad calls do not make a game(or in this case a series)

Please, the Bronx Bummers have a great history, and have had a heck of a run, but don't ever try to equate class with that organization and the gatherings of 10's of thousands of dangerous thugs that are known as "Yankee Home Games".

Have you ever been to the Stadium? Or any opposing players park? Yankee Stadium is easy if you sit in the bleachers don't wear opposing team gear and act like a jackass. The good seats are filled with corporate guys for the most part. It's actually worse walking through the neighborhood going to the game and even that aspect tends to get blown out of proportion.

I think I smell a bitter frustrated Redsux fan who can't deal with the fact his team underachieved.....again.

Rush just mentioned this thread as he was signing off this afternoon. Guess someone is reading things here.

Limbaugh is presenting similar scenarios....

Too bad he didn't credit dead.

Rush's last one was the Angels being replaced by the '80 Royals.

Maybe dead is Rush.

I would have said "maybe Rush is dead", but it would have gone over differently. Someone should start a thread with that title!

What did Rush say? I wasn't listening.

Did he at least mention FreeRepublic?

Clemens is lucky this is the American League, or he'd have to bean himself.

It’d be the first time I liked that guy.

He ended the show by saying that the Angels were going to be replaced with the '80 Royals. Earlier, he said something about the Dodgers.

No mention of FR
