Guest Anglesault Report post Posted October 17, 2004 *gets out broom* And not a minute to early. Stop it. Don't be foolish.

Guest The Winter Of My Discontent Report post Posted October 17, 2004 Where's the King Kurt avatars? The brash Red Sox arrogance? Hell, is it there? Cowboy up? Is Varitek going to cheap shot A-Rod again? How about you throw at some Yankee batters for redemption! Where's Pedro and Manny's little dances in the dugout? Do you fans know why the Red Sox went crazy when they clinched their playoffspot and celebrated like they won the world series? Because they KNEW they weren't going to BE in the world series. Say what you want about the Yankee players, but they got around modestly about their accomplishments. They keep their composure, and do not act like boers whenever they win something. Has anyone on the team pointed to the Red Sox dugout after hitting a homerun? Has any pitcher pointed at their crotch after after striking out the last batter of the game? My point? Babe Ruth doesn't want this Red Sox team to win because they don't have any class. Maybe once they have a major overhaul, they'll consider it. But don't expect to see the Red Sox Nation recover from this for a good 5-10 years. This is an unspeakable disaster. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Anglesault Report post Posted October 17, 2004 How about you throw at some Yankee batters for redemption! Oh, it's coming. Matsui better watch his ass. The Red Sox are a team full of assholes (Curt), lunatics (Pedro), and yes, idiots (everyone else), and if they can get even a little bit of a moral victory by taking Matsui out of the World Series, they'll do it.

I wouldn't be this HASTY about it, but there is some evidence that could point to it. The Red Sox are primarily the one's who have started the fisticuffs in this series. They HATE the Yankees, especially after giving them the most embarrassing defeat in baseball history. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mike546 0 Report post Posted October 17, 2004 I was joking about the sweep thing. I'm still nervous. I want this DONE tonight. If we lose tonight, we face Pedro. We lose AGAIN, then Schilling probably comes back for game six. Please Yankees, FINISH em' tonight. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am an A's fan, but I also consider the Yanks a secondary team alongside the Detroit Tigers. Moreover, I hate this edition of the Red Sox. I'll start cheering for them once they dump Manny and the rest of the dumb cowboys. Slayer, I'll chalk your response up to being a disenchanted Red Sox fan.

2GOLD 0 Report post Posted October 17, 2004 Well, stop with the "REVERSE THE CURSE" signs. Maybe if people would quit mentioning the "curse", then the Red Sox wouldn't have to talk about the curse. And the Red Sox "curse" isn't even a curse, it was stupidity. The Cubs fans, as supersitious as we are, at least have some loon who actually did "curse" the franchise. It's still stupid and crazy but at least he made some kind of supernatural statement. Unless Babe Ruth said, "I CURSE YOU TO NEVER WIN A WORLD SERIES" as he was packing his bags I never understood why some Red Sox fans claim curse. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Brian Report post Posted October 17, 2004 I was thinking more along the lines of the fact that Schilling was hurt and the offense wasn't there for Pedro. The offense in those first two games didn't show up through the first six inning. John Lieber was on the verge of perfection. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
